THE HOUSEHOLD EDITED By ANNE RITTENHOUSE
BEST FOR THE SHORE

Where there is sand and salt water
 there really ought to be no chiffon at
 least if one who wears the chiffon can-
 not quite easily afford to discard she
 gown containing it after a few wear
 ings. And where there Is sand and
 the spray from ocean waves there really ought not to be any starched
 ruffles and frocks that depend for their good looks upon their crispness
 for even though you can we'll afford
 to have your frocks retubbed and starched and ironed after each wear ing they never will look well if they are of the sort that need starchinG
 For the general knockabout beach frock silk is probably the best selec- tion. Taffeta looks especially well, and so does pongee or any of the fairly heavy rough-weave silks.
 When 1t comes to color. the wom- an who is wise chooses her day frocks rather carefully. Much as we admire a nut-brown complexion as an indication of good health and hours spent outdoors. we must admit that tt does not go we'll with certain shades. And if these shades are our favorites, then we must forego the pleasure we find in wearing them and choose from among those that are more becoming to tanned skins
 Of all hues, vigorous shades of green are as generous as any. A green para sol will do much to take the sallow tones from a tanned skin. For light complexioned persons purple is good color. Tan and light browns are espe- cially to be avoided, unless the selec- tion Is a pongee with a vivid color or ombination of colors used on it. AL though white does not really soften the effect of a tanned skin, white is so essentially summery that one must wear it even when thoroughly tanned By using bright green or bright purple parasol with the all-white cos tune the effect Is much improved.
 Blues are not very good unless they are quite definite blues with consid- erab1e green in their makeup Reds when used with the tanned skin. Pas tel shades may go we'll enough with the slightly tanned skin when seen by artificial light and so are included in the summer girls wardrobe for the evening, but for daytime the light shades are not so good All black unless, of course one is in mourning be avoided in the daytime, although the all-black gown is rather fetching in the evening for the girl with tanned complexion Black and white, providing there is a predomi- nance of white, is very good in the bright sunshine, although, of course, it should be borne in mind that the magpie effect is always very striking.

661T7 HANK the Lord that something
 has come about, even though
 S 1t is anything so dreadful as
 war, to institute safe and sane Fourth.
 What's that, Mr. Caudle? Did I hear you say anything? An, yes, I knew did; I thought that statement would bring forth an expression on your part; in fact, I was sure you couldn't sleep when you heard it. How do I think it will affect you? This question of a safe and sane Fourth? Well, of all the re- marks have ever heard in my life! But then, that's just like you. MT. Caudle."
 Tn what other way have you ever celebrated the glorious Fourth except in perfectly safe and sane manner? You are no child. you say, to pop firecrack- CTS and shoot skyrockets and do those fool things? Certainly not, MT. Caudle, but there are other ways of being insane on the Fourth of July, and you know very well what I mean"
 You havens any idea what I'm driv- ing at and why don't say it and get through with it? All right. sir, I'll do so, but not until I get good and ready. But I promise you that you shall hear what I have to say before the dawn breaks. Oh. MT. Caudle, when will you get so that you don't aggravate and worry me to death? Have you no feel ing whatsoever? No finer instincts to make you see that a woman occasion ally wants to be treated kindly and sometimes affectlonately? What's that got to do with a safe and sane Fourth? I'll let you know. sir; don't worry. It has everything to do with it, for gently do recall how last year and many years before you have pretended that you were going to stay at home with the children and myself on the Fourth of July, and take us out to the park in the afternoon and give us a good time on the rcller coaster and the merry go 1 round and do all the stunts that people | like to do. And gently do I recall how last year and many years before you failed to do what you promised. giving as an excuse that important business had come up, and that you couldn't take | us. And gently do I recall how after l ward that found out just exactly what did happen and how you spent your | Fourth of Julyl"
 What do I mean by that remark? 1 Just have a little patience, MT. Caudle, | and you~shall hear. You know perfectly l well what I mean by it, but with your | usual perversity you pretend that you | don't. Alas, MT. Caudle, I'm afraid l you've learned among many other things | at your club, the art of pretense; I am | afraid you no longer are the simple | country boy, truthful to degree, and | , .lnxy ;e tt,o to be when first we were married | Whats that?

 top trousers of the men of 1880.
 New York, July 3-Once upon a time, in the history of mems costu- mery, there came into being long trousers.
 When the Incroyables first wore them in Paris they gained for them the sobriquet which history has never forgotten--The Unbelievables
 Evidently. men did not believe that trousers would remain below the knees, unless they were held down. and so they strapped them under the foot and shaped them to fit the top of the instep

ARRANGE QUARTERS FOR RAM
His Rough Treatment of Ewes Is
Source of Great Loss to Farmer
Keep Him Separated.

Allowing the ram to stay with the
ewes through the winter and spring
until lambing or shearing time is not
always the best practice. It's good
for the ram in case the ewes are well
fed; he will get the lions share, Occu-
py the space for three ewes at the
trough and rack, and grow fat and
abusive. He will choose to eat where
the ewes have peacefully lined them
selves up rather than take an open
place where feed is untouched, writes
r. A. Hayne in National Stockman and
Farmer. He stalks about and hunts the
ewes out of his way on all occasions.
His rough treatment, bunting. his
way and crowding up to feed racks is
q source of abortions and premature
births.
Sheep values Justify every care to
increase numbers and values Of next
years lamb crop.
Better arrange to put his ramship
in other quarters than the eve fold
That doesn't mean to isolate him in
some small, dark, damp corner of the
barn basement or to exile him to a
back lot without shelter or regular
feed.

ATTACK THE INNOCENT FARE
The Railroads Now Complain That the
Kansas Law Is Discriminatory
Katy Is Plaintiff.

Topeka.-The railroads have found
another avenue Of attack on the Kan
sas 2-cent passenger fare. This time
they are trying to get the Interstate
Commerce Commission to declare the
Kansas state order a discriminatory
order and have the 2-cent fare knocked
out by that body.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail-
road uses the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco tracks into Kansas City. Under
the terms OF the contract the NJ. K. &
T. cannot pick up or discharge pas
sengers when operating trains over
the Frisco tracks.
The Frisco takes its state passen-
gers to Rosedale and by getting on
and off the trains there it is possible
to save from ten cents to as high as
three dollars on a single trip. But
the Katy cannot do this.
So a complaint has been filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
charging that the Frisco is able,
through the connivance of the state of
Kansas. to get business the Katy can
not have. 1t is asserted that at COM
petitive points the Frisco gets all the
Kansas City business because the pas
sengers can save money by riding to
RosedaIe.
The case has been set for hearing
at st. Louis March %.

PLACE FOR NARROWING SoWS
That Animal May Not Be Disturbed
She Should Be Kept Separated
From Other Swine.

The less a SOW is disturbed at far
rowing time the better, and for this
reason she should be kept separate
from the other swine. While some
one should be on hand, unless she
needs assistance, it is best to keep
away from her. If it does become
necessary to help, do it as quietly as
possible. As the pigs are not able
to take much milk, the flow should
not be stimulated for few days. Give
the sow plenty Of water, as she is in
feverish condition, but take the chill

PAYS FOR 16O
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story Of paying for your land
out of one years crop is fully authen-
dcated by a great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in a short time
there will be a demand for live stock.
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because OF
the adaptability of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain if necessary. They will go into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
in fact. many are now doing it. They
will have automobiles, in fact in many
districts there is not farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you of the farmer who paid for $50
acres of land from the crop of wheat
of Of So acres. The Holden district
on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. It was in this district
that John Larcome, a settler, pur
chased in 1915 $50 acres of raw prai-
RE land. He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of 1t for
$3.50. His land cost him $3.50 per
acre, or $3.50. So that the crop from
the So acres paid for the land and left
a balance of over $500, which with
part of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost of operation. This
is not really an unusual case, hundreds
of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales Of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention of a good class Of set
tiers, who want to go into mixed farm

The Nature of Genius.

In an article contributed to the New
York Medical Journal by DR.. a. G..
Jacobson, are given what are termed
Stsome possible clews to the nature Of
genius" Doctor jacobson bases his
theory on Freudian psychology, thus
establishing it on q somewhat firmer
basis than many other theories which
are purely speculative, He finds a
relation between genius and sO-called
trance mediums, in that both may be
possessed of dual personalities, the
one inferior to the average, the other
superior. The genius, according to
this theory, works through a secon-
Diary, superior personality. He goes
into sort of trance, and produces
work which no other person can pro-
duce by the mere application of skill
and labor.

Harvard students Eeonomize.

A decline in the minor vices that be-
set college men is indicated at Harvard
by the annual figures given by the
Harvard Union. In the past year Har-
ward students have smoked fewer ciga-
retteS and cigars and have played bill
lizards and pool less than they did a
year ago. There was a loss Of about
20 per cent in the sale of cigarettes
and cigars. Harvard students spent
So. O42 for tobacco in 1915 and only
g. 537 in 1916. Curiously enough, the
reading habits of Harvard men
slumped last year. In 1915 S1.325 was
spent for reading matter; in 1914,
s.. 292.
