Never use extremely hot water.

Bridal Flowers

There seems to be a liking for
arm bouquets for the bride, espe-
cially with princess frocks. The
bride who is wearing an 1880
frock will. OF course. want one OF
the old fashioned tiny bouquets

most appropriate. bridesmaids
usually carry loose bouquets or
sprays OF flowers blending in col
or with their frocks. Delphini-
ums and snap dragons and
flowers from the old-fashioned
garden are preferred to the typi-
cal hot house blossoms and much
Of their beauty lies in the un-
usual combinations or colors.

FOR SCHOOL
Rainy Day Clothes
Are of Utmost and
Prime Importance
To Child

wardrobes are
- supremacy important dur
ing these first weeks of
the new school term and
mothers who put off buying
school clothes during Septem-
bers warmer days are now
face to face with the problem
of getting suits and dresses,
hats and wraps that are in
good taste and good fashion
and at the same time meet
the approval OF the young
hopefuls who must wear
them.
Rainy-day clothes are OF special
importance and should be chosen
with special care. The boy in
school has his own definite ideas
on the subject OF what may and
may not be worn on rainy days,
based invariably on what the
other boys in his school are wear
ing. or on the specifications set
down for the school which he
attends. Little girls, it seems. are
more willing to depart from the
commonplace conventions. more
willing to set a new fashion
among their associates.
There are attractive coats OF
rubberized jersey with trim be-
rets TO match that meet demands
for smartness and usefulness for
the girl OF school age.
Leather jackets still find favor
with both boys and girls but the
velveteen jacket Is a close rival
this season FOR the girls. In many
OF the stores It Il possible to buy
flannel school dresses with vel
veteen Jackets lined with the fan

Many Bass Eggs In
State Fish Hatchery

SAN ANGELO. April 11-tR1-
Within q fe wdays more than q
100000 bass eggs viii be deposited
at the state fish hatchery here, ac-
cording to Ed Mosel, superintendent.
The average five pound bass will
lay about 10000 eggs every season,
and there are 275 bass In the hatch
cry which will whip out nests and
lay this spring, Nj. Mosel said.
Out Of these eggs. hundreds will
be eaten by other bass, hundreds
will be unfertilized and thousands
will hatch. The tiny creatures then
will go through the survival Of the
fittest," devouring each other, being
devocred In gulping mouthfuls by
their own parents and other bass,
and being killed by equally small
water animal oulae.
Fish born only a few hours be-
fore will be large enough to enjoy
making a meal from the latest ar
rivals and from the moment the
little fish are Matched they must
dart among the minute fronds OF
moss on the bottom Of the pond
guarding against the dangers which
give them only a hundred-to-one
chance for life.
