evening irock along the empire lines,

OF the figure between bust and hips bet
ter thany any other silhouette except
the pronounced oriental style
The Empress Josephine, it is alleged,
invented the so-called empire silhouette
TO hide the iulneSS which time and
middle age had placed upon n hitherto
perfect figure, When her waist became
slightly thicker than the rest OF her
figure authorized and the flesh gath
cred unduly over her diaphragm then
she took counsel with the great cou-
turierS, and invented gown that left
her slender, and disguised the thickness
OF her waist by ignoring it.
She lifted the waist line until it was
actually under the bust, caught IT in
tightly and securely there. and shaped
the widths OF material in the skir, so
gngerly and slenderly that the line
hung plumb from the middle Of the
bust TO the ankles
The Oriental Silhouette.
This empire silhouette, which is so
frequently misunderstood and abused
and the oriental silhouette, are after
all, the only two really graceful ways in
which the average American woman
over Is years old, can hide the full.

w. V Hardie, upon whose shoulders
rests the responsibility for the exour-
sion's smooth running, was worrying
this morning about his reputation for
preparedness" and running over in his
mind the possibility of forgetting some
thing. No cxcursionist in the past has
ever asked Mr. Hardic for anything,
from a piece of string to a temporary
loan. but what the article desired was

Nutritious Meat.
The Belgian hare says a statement
by the United States department OF
agriculture, breeds rapidly, natures
quickly, and produces palatablc and
highly nutritious meat. The cost OF
production is less than that OF any
meat. nos excepting poultry. The sup
ply can be greatly increased within a
lew months, without requiring space
that may be needed for the production
of crops. Practical experience has dem
on,,ratcd that rabbit meat can be pro-
duced in unlimited quantities at a cost
OF about o cents pound and by utillz
ing lawn cuttings and other vegetation
that would otherwise be wasted, the
cost can be made even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat produc-
tion, as the ordinary tame rabbit is
smaller and develops more slowly
Stock OF Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders in nearly all the states
at 81 to s. each, They may OCCASION
ally be had from pet stock dealers
Fancy pcdigrecd stock is not required
for meat production.
Easily Kept.
Rabbits are easily kept They eat
hay, grass. lawn cuttings and green
vegetation OF many kinds. Female.
should be allowed to breed when 8 or
10 months old. and during the ycar
should raise four litters OF about SIX
young each well fed the young reach
marketable size when ; to 4 months
old and average from five TO sir
pounds, live weight.
The department Of agriculture ha'
published a bulletin on raising rabbits
which will be helpful to those who wisl
to engage in this pursuit.
