AL THOUGH AMMUNITION RUNS OUT RABBIT
DRIVE SUNDAY IS FULL OF THRILLS and FUN

According to all reports the
rabbit drive last Sunday that
terminated at Chambers bar was
real success. One of those who
took an active part in the drive
gives the following graphic &C
count of the event.
"The drive was a success in
every detail, save one-our am
munition gave out before the
last of several hundred rabbits
had been disposed of, compel
ling the drivers to resort to clubs
and rocks. In spite of this un-
foreseen event, however, an enor-
nous number of rabbits W s
slaughtered, conservative esti-
mates placing the number around
5000.
The drive started at the high
school and ranged west past
Nitzsche's as far as the river
When some distance out where
the different crowds were to join
the line failed to link up and
the hunters became somewhat
confused but r. j. Roberts came
to the rescue on a fast horse,
and, with apologies to Paul Re-
we're. hooked them up like a line
of dominoes and held the line
intact until the bar was reached.
A stranger who stood at a
point of vantage and watched
the line advancing, with gal
loping horseman riding from one
end of the line to the other {;
with thousands of rabbits trav-
cling in front of the line and
with the continuous roar of shot
guns that resembled an old fash
ioned Fourth Of July celebration,
declared it was a sight he would
remember as long as he lived.
One thing that marked the
event was the exceptionally good
shooting apparent during the af-
ternoon. Observers declare that
very few shots were missed and
consequently few rabbits escap-
cd. 1t was said by some who
should know that this was due
to the fact that none of our poor
shots were present, all of them
having gone to the picnic.
When the river was reached it
YVES decided to form the line into
a long crescent along the west
edge of the bar to avoid accidents
and permit better shooting, but
when the manuever was nearly
completed the horrible fact dawn
ed upon the bunch that 80 per
cent. of them were out Of shells,
and that the two cases brought
up in a car were also gone. The
east end of the line was then
quickly swung back to connect
with an inlet of back water and
the west end brought around so
as to force the rabbits out on a
long sharp point, permitting the
line to close in in close formation.
Caught in this trap the rabbits
that before had been shot down
like blackbirds now started a

Comfort Protectors
of UnbIeached Muslin

Comfort protectors which cover the
upper edges of blankets and quilts
where they come in contact with the
face and hands, are almost necessity
to the fastidious housekeeper who is
trying to keep down laundry and
cleaning bills.
Make them of unbleached muslin,
dimity, flaxon, 1inene or any other fab
ric which washes easily. Cut strips of
the material one and one-half inches
longer than the width across the top
Of the blanket and from fourteen to
eighteen inches wide. That is, dimity
of the required length and thirty inches
in width will cut two protectors. Fold
the material lengthwise and basic and
stitch across each end. Turn a one
inch hem on both sides.
Decorate the protectors to harmon
ize with the color in the bed coverings
with which they are to be used. APP
plique designs in plain ginghams look
well on unbleached muslin and the
f1axon and dimity lend themselves to
dainty cross-stitch patterns. Linene is
attractively and quickly finished with
Italian hemstitching.

BeItless Dress Shown
Among Spring Fashions

One conspicuous feature of the new
spring models is the beltless dress, OBJ
serves a fashion writer. Heretofore,
the chemise tunic, or coat dress, has
been broken by narrow belt tied
loosely about the low waistline, though
not breaking the straight silhouette.
But now no belt is seen, even on the
dresses to which are added plaitings,
floating or attached godets and
flounces, flat or shaped. These, Joined
to the bodice, are simply stitched with
out other finish.
TUNES are seen in many gowns from
the best couturieres. They are both
long and short, extending to point
but few inches above the bottom of
the skirt. or ending at the line OF an
ordinary overblouse, but in every case
absolutely straight and beltless.
Even the lingerie gowns, the sheer,
daintily embroidered nets combined
with lace and batiste, are made like
Infants frocks, over slip having at
tha hem q band or frill Of lace that
gives the effect of an underskirt.
Jenny is sending over some charming
models in the beltless dresses, some OF
them with rather exaggerated godets,
others with straight, narrow panels |;
and her skirts are invariably short.

Waistcoats Are Made
of WooIens and Linens

season is assured. One of the signs
is the waistcoat, the new, ultra-smart

The present model for women is a

and a severely plain coat 1t is COM

Things to intrigue the fancy of ele-

just been received from Paris by an
exclusive New York shop. Novelties
In fans are Of a variety as great as
the new fashions in stockings. The
latest, writes a fashion correspondent
in the New York Times, are the re-

conspicuous and popular through the
winter season.
One of the daintiest of these small
fans is q high oval, when open, brown

was enameled blue and cemented to a
shelf built over an old drain pipe. A
hole large enough to hold the stopper
was cut in the bottom of the pan and
through the shelf, and lined with ce-
ment. This connected with the drain
pipe. There was not enough room for
an adequate drain board, but small
one was improvised so that the water
would drain back into the dishpan
sink. A lower shelf was put in to
hold the water bucket.
Handy Work Table.
A work table about three feet wide
and six feet long was designed and
built from cid lumber. One end was
set against the kitchen wall, and the
other had two drawers fitted with
glass knobs salyaged from an old
piece of furniture In the attic. A set
Of movable shelves was placed about
two feet back of the drawers, allow
ing a convenient work space, while
the other end of the table is used as
a dining table for the family. On

groceries made from lard cans, bak-
ing-powder tins, and other boxes,
enameled blue and neatly arranged.
Cookbooks and glass Jars for other
supplies completed the shelves. The
work table was painted white and
given coat of waterproof varnish. An
ingenious place for small equipment
that could be hung up, such as basting
spoons, potato masher and egg beater,
was made Of a rack for buggy whips,
also enameled blue, which was found
in the store formerly run by the
family.
A lamp with a tin reflector was
changed from its former position and
placed to throw light over the stove.
The fixture was painted to match the
wall. Aarack was placed back Of the
stove from which to hang frying pans.
A towel rack was placed near the
stove and another back of the door.
Little changes Of this sort often mean
a great saving Of effort and time in
doing the homework.

as a faultless model-an under-arm

Virginia housewives, inspired by the
efforts Of their home demonstration
agents, have been sprucing up their
kitchens and competing with each 9th
er in putting in conveniences and
labor-saving devices at small cost.
The prize-winning kitchen in Albe-
marie county was improved for total
cash outlay of only $3.70, most of
which was spent for paint and three
new window shades. The woman who
won the prize did all of the work
herself with the exception Of little
help from one Of the men in the fam
lily in making a table and altering the
doors to the kitchen.
Details of improvements.
Some of the improvements this wom-
an made may offer suggestions to 9TH
er housewives. In a report received
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, the following details
were given:
She filed in cracks and breaks in
the walls and ceiling with plaster OF
paris, and then tackled gray building
paper on them. This was treated with
cream-colored wall paint Cracks in
the floor were filed and the whole
oiled. With the mans help, windows
were cased and old doors were made
over and painted A little old table
was braced, enameled white, and fitted
with casters, to serve as tea wagon.
An old food safe was painted white
and put on casters. The woodbox
was raised on legs. to be reached
more easily, and the whole painted.

kitchen door shelf rack was made

large nickel rings from old curtains
screwed into their ends to serve as
hangers. Three new window shades
were purchased at a cost Of $1.30, the
largest single expenditure

Grape juice, whether canned COM
mercially or at home, can be used for
a number Of delicious desserts, as well
as for a refreshing beverage. The
following dessert recipes, using infer
mented grape juice, have been sug-
gested by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture:
Grape Sherbet.
Mix pint of grape juice, the juice
of ] lemon, and ] heaping teaspoon
full of gelatin dissolved in boiling wa
ter; freeze quickly, add the beaten
white Of 1 egg when almost frozen.
This quantity is sufficient for eight
persons.
Grape Ice Cream.

Of cream, pound of sugar and the
juice of 1 lemon. Freeze.

Mix / quart Of fresh cream, the
whites Of 4 eggs, / glass of grape
Juice, and 2 cupfuls of powdered sugar.

and flamingo red being much used.
Quite the most fantastic sunshade
seen in many seasons Is one of black
silk, covered almost to the outer
edges with white rabbit fur. In the
very middle of the parasol when open
the head of a pussycat is reproduced

tation tortoise shell, the ears and whis.
kers standing out briskly. When the
shade is closed 1t appears to be a

suits.
At the right clever piece of de-
signing appears in a silk hat with
braid facing The taffeta covering
seems to merge into big roses made Of

crown. One can imagine 1t in any Of
those colorful taffetas that so delight

ribbon collar run through steel buckles
finishes it.

Nothing else is so youthful, so smart,
and no other model SO inspires wom-
an to look to her figure.
In the suits shown, the quality ma
terial Is emphasized, and most of the
models from houses of prestige are
built of kasha cloth, twill, and, to the
joy Of the more conservative, broad
cloth.
The twills are like the old-tfme serge,
and the fabric is very satisfactory, but
there is an elegance in broadcloth that
no other cloth produces.
