to our grandmOthers as women who in
sisted upon dressing in seemly and
modest manner. But, Just as Agnes
Repplier has forcibly and brilliantly
told of the new women among the old
women-the brilliant, insurgent char
acters that were the pioneers Of our
race in America-sO some student
could tell Of the extravagances, ca
prices and indecencies in dress that
swept over the generations to which
our sainted grandmothers belonged,
and which, in their time, were de-
nounced by the pulpit and the press:
This season Is ushered in without
the eccentricities Of those generations
or even the half-decade that has just
slipped by. One may call the narrow
skirt an eccentricity, but in its modi-
fed form 1t is very attractive, and it
saves material, which is the reason
that Paris invented 1t.
1t is rather amusing that the wOm-
en- who have organized for a national
defense and who urge economy in buy
ing clothes, call especial attention to
the pegtop or melon skirt as garment
garment was invented by Paris to save
material and thereby lower the price
that a French woman has to pay for
her skirt.
Naturally, the French designers did
not charge the Americans any less for
a pegtop skirt than full one, nor will
the American dressmakers make any
difference in prices because Of the
scarcity Of material used; but the

The head Of horse should be small,
refined, and clean cut. 1t should not
be either too concave (dished) or
convex (bulging) between the eyes, the
former suggesting a timid disposition,
the latter strong will power. Com
pare the sides Of the face and note any
dissimilarity which may be due to dis
ease. The side view of the head should
show a comparatively straight line
from the poll to the nose. Extremely
heavy jaws are not desirable, especial
ly in horses Of the lighter classes.
Mouth.-The mouth should be exam
ined for uLsound or abnormal teeth.
In the condition known . as parrot
mouth the front upper teeth overlap
those below, while in reverse parrot
mouth the lower front teeth overlap
those above. If either condition is
present the horse is not able to bite
of food; and while he may eat hay
and grain by getting them into his
mouth with his lips, he would starve
on short pasture. Tongues held out
side the mouth are unsightly.
Muxzle.-The nostrils should be
large, clear, and pliable, with the in
side rose cOlOred at rest and deep red
during exercise. Nostrils constantly
distended and hard should lead one to
suspect heaves, disease which is dis
cussed later. Note whether the nose
is defOrmed or crooked-conditions
which mar the horses looks. II the

PARAS0L FAD IS GROWING

The fad for all sorts Of parasols is

Some are made to match the costume

for sporting events are made Of the
material of the skirt, which is also in

able sets, says Harper's Bazaar, are
composed of parasol, hat and girdle or
bag, while q parasol to match the hat

the best parasols have shirred chiffon

there is 50 such thing-some are fiat,

New York.-Probably the lack OF &C.
centricity in the spring apparel Is Its
distinguishing feature. This Is an al
mirable trait In time Of war, but
France did not foresee that America
would be in war when she designed the
spring clothes that have been univer-
sally accepted in this country.
Paris keeps it's wartime clothes for
its own people, and has never failed
to send to the rest Of the world q fresh
batch of newly invented gowns bear
ing all the marks of frivOlity and ex-
travagance.
Many reasons have been given for
the lack of eccentricity noticeable in
the French gowns, but whatever the
cause, it is a matter Of satisfaction
that the condition exists. Women are
compelled to buy new raiment at each
change of season, but in time Of ma
tional crisis they do not think 1t fit
ting or seemly to indulge in the pc
culiar caprices Of dress which have
marked recent eras.

1t is a common cry to say that the
existing generation is always the most
provocative Of criticism. We forget
what has gone before In history, in hui
mainly and in religion, as well as in
dress. There are critics who cry aloud
over a certain fashion, consider II
monstrous, and wonder what our young
women and girls are coming to that
such a fashion should be unblushingly
accepted. They speak in excitable
tones of the respected dead and refer

vice known as a twitch leaves scars
around the upper lip. This would lead
one to suspect that the horse has some
bad habit, such as being difficult to
shoe.
Face.-Look for blemishes from op-
eratiOns such as ON bad teth or nasal
tumOrs, disease which may cause trOu-
BILE after apparently being cured.
Eyes.-Before beginning an exami-
nation of the eyes be sure that these
important and often unnOticeably de-
fective organs are turned toward a
good light. Large, full, well-placed
eyes, preferably of chestnut hue with
a sparkle and mild expression, are
beautiful in appearance and are the
least subject to disease. Small, sunk
en- eyes are often weak and may &C
company a sluggish temperament. Lac
erations on the eyelids are more or
less unsightly and give evidence of a
previous injury which may have left
the eye weak, especially If the eye
sheds tears frequently. To test the
sight make quick motion Of the hand
away from each eye and see IL the
lids are closed to protect the eyeball.
In doing this 1t is. necessary to be
careful not to cause a current Of air
to strike the eye, since a blind horse
may close the eyelid from such q cause
alone. If still doubtful about the sight
have the animal led over obstacles over
which a blind horse would stumble,
in which case a horse with good sight
will carefully raise and plant his feet
over them. A more detailed test con-
sists of taking the horse from dark
ness to light, and vice versa, and see
ing that the pupils dilate and contract
alike. HOllows over the eyes denote
old age or a lack of vitality. Un-
scrupulous dealers have sometimes in
flated these hollows with air, but this
can readily be detected by pressing
with the fingers, which forces the air
into the adjacent cavities. leaving the
natural hOllOwness.
Ears.-Horses are not often troubled
with deafness, still 1t is advisable to
test the hearing by noting responses
to the voice. The ears should be
placed fairly close together at the
highest point Of the poll and should
usually be carried forward. To add
to the appearance they should be Of
delicate texture. taper to graceful
points, and be covered with fine hair
Topped ears are very unsightly and
many tricks are used to cover up sucf
defects. such as tying together will

Dental Floss for Beads.

Dental floss is the best thing on
which to string pearl, coral or glass
beads. The floss may be bought at
any large drug store for 10 or II
cents a spool. To fasten the end neat
ly to the sclasp, run the floss through
the end two beads. then through the
ring on the clasp and back through
the end two beads, knotting between
the second and third beads, and then
cutting. This hides the knots. Do
not use a needle in stringing. II the

frequently between the beads only q
