SELECTING A FOWL

The best fowls are one year old Cess than a year old, they are known as chickens) with yellow feet, short thick legs, smooth, moist skin, plump breast and the whole bird rather soft and pliant. Old fowls (hens) have hard horny feet, with coarse scales, the flesh is of a purplish tinge and they usually have a large amount of fat that has a strong odor when cooking, and there are many long hairs scat tered over the body of these old birds. They require endless cooking, are strong favored, tough and very un- palatable. Avoid such when selecting a fowl for made dishes.' They are unfit for food when 2 years old.

KNITTED WEAR.

Cachemir tones-a blending of green, yellow, blue, red, etc.-are noticeable in the latest collection of knit ready to wear goods. Sports casaquins, with long sleeves and high necks, are rep resented in these tones, especially adapted for wear with sports tweeds or knit wool suits.-
 Chine, or mixtures, still continue in favor, navy and green blended to- gether give a new color scheme, and long sleeves with scalloped cuffs are increasing in popularity. Although the sleeveless jumpers to be worn with tailored suits are also seen for winter wear, the long sleeved jumper or sweater is promised more success.

STRAW DOLLS.

With a straw doll, which she can make herself, your little daughter can have lots of fun. Take some twenty or thirty pieces of straw, about inch es long. Bind them together an inch and half from one end. Bind them again two inches below that. Divide the straw below the last part tied into two sections and tie them near the ends. Thus legs are formed. Cut a few straws loose on each side and bind them near the ends for arms. Wind the top for head. Then have lots of crepe papers for fancy colored frocks.

 The everyday life of many house. wives is continual struggle with weakness and pain. There is nothing more wearing than the ceaseless round of household duties and they become doubly hard when some fe- male trouble makes every bone and muscle ache, and nerves all on edge.

POPULAR,

With silks so much less expensive than they have been for long time, all kinds of silken under apparel will certainly be in high favor for the com ing season, and pink leads the process sion as to color. Comparatively few women choose white, and the odd shades such as bright blues, yellow and orchid are more popular for shop window display purposes than for ac- tual wear. The tailored models are generally more popular than the lace trimmed ones. Tucking are popular touches, and good deal of ribbon used.

TO REMOVE TIGHT RING.

Here is a good way of removing a tight finger ring that refuses to pass over a joint. Take some lengths of thread and run these backward and forward several times over piece of soap. Select the finest needle that will take the thread and pass the needle between the finger and the ring. If the point is kept well upward it will not be likely to run into the finger. Twist three or four lengths of the thread around the finger at intervals, and it will then be found that the ring slips easily along the runners"
 Another way is to wind the thread after it has been passed through the ring, spirally up the finger. Even a very tight ring can usually be worked screw fashion up the threads.
