and roll them. Leave hides for a week.
Then soak in water until soft. Clean
and flesh. by feshiug" is meant the
process of removing ell flesh and inner
membrane which sdheres to the hide
proper. This should be dohe by spread
ing the hide over a barrel or similar
device and scraping it with dull knife
or what ever is most convenient. In
case of sheep or goat skin, the wool
or mohsir should be cleaned in fairly
strong solution of soap and sal-soda be-
fore the process continued sfurther.
After cleaning and feshing the skin is
tanned in the following solution; Take
the liquid drawn from thee pounds of
seaded bran, add one gallon of soft
water, one pound of alum, one.fourth
pound salt. three tsblespoonfuls of
borax. Make in the above proportions
sufficient solution to cover the hides. !
1t is necessary to tan light hides a.
bout four weeks in this solution, 1t is
advisable to work the hides more or
less dry in order that the robe will be
soft and pliable. sIn icase the hide was

bout two days in one gallon of bran
boiled and fermened, with sufficient
water added to cover the hide. Clean
and rinse the hide and tan in the same
manner as out lined for robes and rugs.
After the hide has been tanned, rinse
and drain. While still damp rub on all

Garment Easy to Construct by Using
Soft Kerchiefs With Embroidered
or ScalIoped Edges.

Take three soft handkerchiefs of
fine material and with embroidered
or scalloped edges. Fold each hand
kerchief diagonally through the mid
die and press the creases well with a
moderately hot iron. With sharp scis-
sors cut along the lines thus made;
you will now have six. triangular
pieces of equal size. Cut the inser-
ton to whatever lengths are required,
which can be ascertained by measur-
ing. There should be two long rows,
with plenty Of length allowed for full
ness, for the top of the garment; two
center strips to meet in points at the
front and at the back, each crossing
the shoulder without a seam; two
short strips for use at the joining of
the front and the back. and two short
rows for each armhole.
The easiest way to put the sections
together is to pin them in the proper
position on a large sheet Of paper and
then tack the strips Of insertion into
place and remove the paper. In put
ting the front of the camisOle together
leave the left edge of the center Sec
ton free for an opening. Sew small
pearl buttons on the under edge and
small loops on the insertion.
After you have Joined all the sec
tions, fit the garment on the wearer,
if possible; it will probably be neces-
sary to draw in both back and front
at the top with small gathers. Add
the yoke, made of double strips of
insertion, and the armhole rows and
finish them with lace edge to match.

AMBITION SCARED TOO HIGH
Pioneer Grape Grower Unfortunately
Was Not Satisfied With First
Really Excellent Results.

A hundred years ago DIR. g. W.
Grant bought a small, rock-ribbed
island in the Hudson river nearly op-
posite Peekskill. There was a general
laugh at what people declared to be
his folly, as the island was so barren
and worthless that it did not seem pos
sible for anything to grow there. Doc
tor Grant, however, had ideas of his
own, and he began a growth of grapes
of the then new variety, the Delaware.
In a very short time the island was
known to grape growers all over the
country, and Doctor Grant was de-
clared to have done more for grape
culture than any other man in Amer
lea.
The great business enjoyed by the
physician turned his head, and he be-
gan to work toward a scheme that
would turn the island into a paradise
of growing flowers, especially mag
nolias and rhododendrons, and he
hoped to give seed or cuttings to every
home in America. The result of his
attempts was bankruptcy, and he left
the island, which soon went back to
rock and barren soil.

Historic Race Is Repeated.

History repeated itself at Natchez,
Miss, recently, when the Robert E.
Lee, a giant seaplane, defeated the
Mississippi-Warrior tugboat Natchez.
Hundreds of people thronged the river
front to witness the race, which easily
went to the namesake of the historic
river packet, the Robert E. Lee, the
winner of the original race.
The Natchez is the first of six power
full tugs that are being constructed to
tow barges on the Mississippi and
Warrior rivers, and was proceeding
down stream to New Orleans at the
time Of the race. On the departure
of the Natchez the Robert E. Lee took
to the air and once again the race
between the namesakes of the two
famous river craft was enacted.

NEW SHADE FOR MILLINERY
"DandeIion Yellow" Is Color Featured
In Spring Headgear; Travelling
Hats of Heavy Silk.

Touching upon what will be worn,
it is announced that a new shade
called "dandelion yellow" featured in
spring millinery, as are pastels. Peach,
apricot and lavender are among the
popular hues for winter resort wear.
Luster satin with hair braid and straw
and linen crash will also have their
day.
Travelling hats Of heavy silk are
close fitting brims or turban shaped
with trimming Of ostrich showers and
wings. Garden hats are chiefly OF
light-colored transparent hair-braid,
ribbon and flower-trimmed, large and
dropping in shape. Sports wear will
favor close fitting silk crushes and the
banded straw sailor will undoubtedly
be chosen by many women.
A taking sports novelty is the silk
and-wool sock for women, designed to
be worn with the heavy London
brogue. 1t has the regular golf turn
over below the knee, the colored band
on this ''roll" will match the band
on the dashing sports hat for golf,

Nothing to Do.

members of the great Bird family do.
"When they would fix themselves up
and would preen their feathers, they
would often stand on one foot and
brush their head feathers with the
other. 1t was a difficult job, but they
usually managed it for they were quite
vain and wanted to look we'll
"They had nice meals of the beaks
of cuttlefishes and they took walks
along the beach. Sometimes if they
were frightened they would toboggan
or slide along and hurry at a great
rate.

King Penguin, known as Billy Bache-
lor, and the one known as Benjamin

Penguin, that we had to be worrying
about the egg or whether we had food
enough for the young. That would be
trouble indeed
"fOh, yes,' said another Miss King
Penguin, it is so much nicer to walk
and to talk, to eat and to sleep, to
take marches along the beach and
have nothing to do, than it is to spend
all ones time saying to young pen

Short Sport Coat FaVorite Among
American Women.
In This Type of Wrap MiIady Can Be
Comfortable; 1t Is Always
Good Looking.

Fur stands out more prominently
in women's apparel this season than
ever before. Not only are fur coats
each costing a small fortune, but there
are coat Innings of fur, coat trimmings
Of fur, hats Of fur, dresses trimmed
with fur. Everywhere fur is seen in
abundance, and wherever it is used
it adds that last touch Of lavishness
now so much sought.
The American woman delights in
the short sport coat Of fur. In it she
can be comfortable and it is always
about the short fur coat that is al
ways in the well-dressed class. Then
1t allows so many sorts of frocks to be
worn with it. The sport skirt of
tweed or plaid or stripe Is good; the
soft satin folds of a oneApiece frock
look graceful when falling from
top of thick fur; serge is good with
1t and duvetyn is very smart. 1t Is
interesting to see the different combi-
nations that can be made with a
short fur coat and to see that most
Of them are astonishingly successful.
Seal is the fur that is most popu-
larly, and, indeed, most successfully,
used for these shorter coats. 1t COM
bines SO nicely with different materials
and colors. The tall girls look fasci-
mating when they wear hghtish
dresses along with short seal coats,
and the short girls are at their best
when the skirt that shows is of
darker tone. Then seal has another

GENTLE JOLT FOR SWEENY

municipal reformer, in the course of
an address to Harvard students, said:
'Man wasn't made to loaf. The

There's a loafing hypochondriac
named Sweeny who spends all his

always ailing, and usually when you
go to see him you find him in bed
with a headache or rheumatism or
dyspepsia or what not.
"Sweeny was totterin. feebly down
