"" many a month. It ! evidenced
I that moM of the trimming Is confined
wto the stock and over-yoke, on many of
the dinner and evening gowns, and there
I la always more or less hand embroidery,
lace and fine braid on them. But when
I started to writ I waa thinking of the
I pretty lace bows, ru tries, jaoots ana me
t numerous ties. The bows are not only
mall but very large, gathered full and
tere almost round. j ney are maae vi
' whit or ecru net, both coarse and fine,
"and edged with laoa or a double edge
of finely plaited net. Borne are made of
. wide lace of a small dainty pattern. The
frills are of plaited chiffon or lace,

vored la the circular draped cape. These
are usually bound witn wide soutacne in
colors harmonising with the material.

of heavyweight goods, as they are for
summer as only ana must do or a aoit-

' The waist question Is of great import
ance this spring and It seems to do a
very expensive one when compared with
previous years. Tbeaa separate blouses
are worn with coat and skirt suits
which are smartly tailored although not
severely plain. But the 'blouse must
match the hat Instead of the suit. If
the waist is white lingerie embroidered
in a delicate color the same shade Is
repeated In the hat trimming. Net and
lace may be embroidered with beautiful
effects and fine linen shows off the em
broidery to a very- good advantage.
There are many walats of soft silk and
chiffon in delicate colors but the real
favorite la the white lingerie one em
broidered In colors or In all white.
The new undersleeves are abown In
two styles,- the short, full elbow sleeve,

How Hhe Lives
TROM my second experiment In house
H keeping I moved Into whst I hops
aad believe will be a permanent
home, a most charming cottage In .Wit-
termers, which is only half an hour's
walk from a delightfully simple little
place owned by Ellen Terry, one of my
best and earliest friends, writes Miss
Almj-Tadema "Ih the New Tork Sun.
Whenever her constant activity will
allow her a moment's rest she comes
down there and we have walks and
talks together. , ,
"My cottage wsg once an inn and is
over 100 years old, with big fireplaces
and queer chimneys built on tne out

mauve and gray bead bags are lovely.
and If they match the costume they
give It a smart finish. The fringe is
mart nf the same beads. Another no
ticeable departure from the fashion es
tablished a century ago Is In the qual
ity of the beads. Those used for the
new bags are sometimes opaque and
lustrous. The garnet beads have the
oldtlme sparkle, due to the way they
are rut. while the turquoise ones dos-
sess the look or tne real jewel
enveries this is not the case, says the
London Lancet. Men can breathe for
several hours without discomfort air
which Is heavily charged with pure car
bonic acid. The mere addition of this
gas to the air by combustion has little
or no effect upon the health. But along
with the carbonic acid, produced by
breathing a subtle poison is generated
which analysts, strangely enough, have
not yet been able to detect or parate.
We are all familiar with the offensive
and poisonous odor of air vitiated by
human breath, and it is singular that
what the nose so readily detects the
chemist cannot discover. Not only are
headaches, loss or appetite and or spir
its due to this "close" air, but It ren
ders those who breathe It liable to seri
ous disease. It Is the presence of this
nibtls poison which makes "Tube" air
so unwholesome as aistinguisnea rrom
"underground ' air, in wnicii ma car
bonic acid, though larger In quantity, is
chiefly produced by the burning of fuel
In the engines.

The New Cushions.
THE very newest cushions are made
this way. The foundation Is some
washable material in a coarse
basket weave which Is easy to work on.
Squares of ths material ready stamped
can be bought In the shops. The rib
bon for embroidering Is soft and highly
lustrous. It comes In the usual assort
ment of colors. The outline of the de
sign Is worked In black ribbon, and the
Inside of the figures are done with rib-
i:
bon worked In a coarse satin stitch to
cover the entire space effectively but
not too closely. One can get exquisite
shadings with the embroidery ribbon.
One design suggested large wild roses
by their coloring and their work. In
stead of being round the petals formed
a flower almost square in ita outlines.
Several of these flowers were clustered
together in a broad strip across ths
middle of the cushion. The background
was white basket material and the edge
was finished with the new fish twine
trimming, which is also to be bought In
the shops ready to put on any cushion.
The flnn cord trimming is orocnetea
In a simple ftfghan stitch to make a
strip two inches wide and long enough
to go all around the cushion. The strip
Is doubled and sewn to the edge of the
cushion. Medlum-slsed twine is used
and the color matches the embroidery
work. Ecru or natural colored twine is
excellent to uss on certain types of
cushions. There are some charming
shades of old blue, delft blue, green,
brown, tan, yellow, pink, rose and
brown. The strip of twine crochet fin
ishes at one end with a tassel made of
the fringed twine depending from a ball
of the twine crocheted to match the rest
of the decoration. Tthe other end of
the eord has three crocheted loops, which
are caught over the place where the" two
ends Join. For summer cottages and for
really serviceaoie eusniona mis style oi
decoration and finish Is most useful.
Oblong cushions showing the urn
general treatment have the ribbon em
broidery divided into two patterns, one
ornamenting each end of the cushion.
They are finished In the same fashion,
the only difference being in the general
Jilannlng. Oblong cushions require a
onger cord edge than the ordinary
square' slse. "Squab" cushions are
stuffed very full to make them plump
as birds.
F you plan for rsfurnishinf and re
decorating for the spring and In
elude two front bedrooms that open

end of the hallway, why not have

Poultry on the Farm.

"My experience with poultry is 11m

and some of my experience. At present

hens. They are averaging about 64
eggs per day. I am feeding corn now

tween the roosts to take out the fowls
when necessary. It is not necessary to

long-handled hoe I scrape from the out

as the horses and cows a'i apt to bs an

advise about incubators. I aim to ralne
enough pullets for my own use. and
fatten roosters for sale. I don't think
it wise to keep old hens. Go over the
flock, pick out old hens,-, sell,' and let
the pullets take their place. Don't keep
hens longer than two years, and expe
rienced noultrvmen tell us that the
first year la the best.
xne feeding minding should be sep
arate from the roosting place, as It will
be easier to keep free of lice. For 160
nens a Duuamg zu feet bv bo reet
would give room for feeding and shelter
on rainy days, and, of course Oregon
has Us share of this kind, but these
days are better for biddie than when the
mercury is down to zero as in other
places.

"The roosting house to accommodate
160 hens should be at least 16 feet by
20 feet, for it is bad to crowd. Let ths
roosts be on ft level, not one above the
other. ..These may be wired from the
celling and then wired to. ths side of
building to prevent the swinging mo
tion. Let everything be aa plain as pos
sible, keep walla whitewashed, and
floor clean and a box of 11ms In the
corner to help keep away lie. Don't
put any nests - around - this building.
Clean roosts often; coal oil is a good
lie killer. Let th room be ventilated
without giving a draught. The hen will
pay for what. we do for her and hers. .
Pass It On.
From Good Housekeeping,
THERE seems to bs a popular Im
pression that an oriental rug will
wear forever, no matter what sort
of treatment it reoelves, buf this is ons
of those mistakes which are often dis
covered too late to be rectified.. In ths
east, where they are worn smooth by
the gliding of bare feet, their chances
for Immortality ars great but In Amer
ica bootheela are their constant and In
sidious enemies. However, their lives
may be prolonged by skillful attention.
If the overcasting; on ths sdge Is gons
or giving way, a thread of carpet wool
or yarn will supply new overcasting and
give new resistance. If a warp or weft
thread on the back is broken, it should
not be left to slip out taking ths knots
with it but should have a linen thread
tied to It at one end, be woven over and
under as far as the break extends, and
then bs tied at the other. If the knots
come out they should be replaced at
once wun ine aid or ft coarse oia-fash-loned
worsted needle. If ths selvage
wears crooked, It should be raveled out
and overcast, saving tbe surplus wool
for other repairs. AH these are valu
able preventive measures. A good ori
ental rug Is a work of art and should bs
treated with ths reverence which it deserves.
