Shepherd checks and plaids ire quite as much to be considered as ever, for they, like navy serge, never actually go out of style; but this year they are entirely dependent on cut and graceful hanging from the shoul­ ders for success.. All coats, whether for separate wear or accompanying skirts, are hung from the shoulder blades instead of the top of the shoul­ der.

You will enjoy a wonderful skin re> storatire llf you bathe the face, neck and arms every night with hot milk and water, which is a wonderful skin restorative, dry gently, with a very 30ft and fine face towel, and then apply a very little good face cream, with circular and upward massage movements of the finger tips. Smooth the. eyebrows and ldshes with a modicum of pure white vase­ line. In the morning again bathe the face with hot milk and water, then rinse with cold distilled water to which a tow drops of toilet vinegar or lait vir­ ginal have been added. - Dry thoroughly, always using up­ ward movements, apply a little toilet cream, wiping off any superfluity with a soft handkerchief, dust on some good powder and smooth with a fine wash leather. This simple treatment has really as­ tonishingly beneficial effects in a very few days if persevered with. Ailing ones must, of course, be very careful to build up the general health; not by "cosseting," but by common sense pre­ cautions. A nourishing but digestible diet, including plenty of milk, eggs, flsh, poultry and beef once a day, as much fresh air and sunshine as pos­ sible, judicious but not strenuous ex­ ercise and plenty of rest In between, provide an excellent restorative regime to thoee below par.

".find Worn for Second Beat/at "'ty ' the Least. . - Because you are disgusted with the wretched appearance of your unfor­ tunate rain-drenched hat, don't throw It away. Having allowed it to dry gradually by placing it on a flat sur­ face out of reach of the sun's rays, study it carefully and see what can be done to make it wearable--If not for best--at least for general running about. If the trimmings are of flowers and ribbons, they won't be worth the saving and the chances are that the crown'Will be dented and discolored •But as the brim of a hat rarely gets badly injured by ^drenching rain ycu ^•can. face it freshly" and then coyler the crown with a length of broad ^sash rib­ bon. Beginning at what is destined to be the low side of the hat, tack one edge of thb ribbon close to the. join­ ing of the rim and the crown, then draw it in soft rippHng folds all about the top and toward the high side, where the two ends of the ribbon mi^ be shaped and wired to form a pair of rabbit ears. Join these under a bow of narrow velvet ribbon. A Few Largo Hats. Some of the newest hat models are large and flat and very elaborately garnished with flowers, lace and rib­ bon. Maline is a very important fac­ tor in the construction of these models, black and the most delicate tones of pink and amber having the preference. Ostrich plumes of con­ trasting color are favored by this de­ signer, who also achieves remarkably beautiful results by brightening up her black models by giving them exquisite­ ly tinted tapestry or chiffon crowns. materials are employed for theee chains, including wood, glass, etc. One of the foremost types fm construct­ ed entirely of extremely small beads, ta> braided or rope effects. FRIU.Y SPRING CHAPEAU Bead Necklaces Very Popular. Attention at the present time is principally focused on bead necklaces, Bays the Dry Goods Economist. These are being offered in an almost endless variety of styles, colors and materials. The latest offerings in this line are ex­ tremely long bead necklaces, ranging 1n length from 72 to 90 inches. Whea placed about the neck these reach al­ most to the hem of the gown. Various Poultry can be raised successfully on any well-drained soil. A light loam, which will grow good grass, is well adapted for this«purpose; while a very light, sandy soil, through which the water leaches freoly, will stand more intensive poultry conditions, but most of the green feed for the fowls kept on such a soil will have to be pur­ chased. • heavy clay or adobe soil, Is not as well adapted to poultry raising, as such land does ndt drain readily and it is much more difficult to keep the stock healthy, says Farm­ ers' bulletin 674, department of agri­ culture. Long stationary houses, or the fn-4 tensive system, saves steps, but it Is easier to keep the birds hnulthy and to reproduce the stock under the col­ ony system where the birds are al­ lowed free range. Breeding stock, and especially growing chickens, should have an abundance of range, while hens used solely for tho pro­ duction of market eggs may be kept on a very small area with gocfl re­ sults. The colony house system neces­ sitates placing the houses, hoMlng about one hundred hens, apart two hundred to two hundred and' fifty feet, so that the stock will not kill the grass. The colony system may bo should be simple, portable and inex­ pensive. Roosts are usually placed next to the end or back walls, six to ten inches above the dropping boards, while the latter are from two to two and one-half feet above the floor. They should all be on the same level, others wise the birds will crowd and fight to get on the highest roost. Scantling 2 by 4 Inches, with the upper edges rounded off, makes good roosts with either the wide or narrow surface up. Allow seven to ten Inches of roost space per fowl, according to the size of the birds. Roosts should be placed about fifteen inches apart, but the out­ side ones may be within ten inches of the edge of the dropping boards. Kinds of Material Used for Building. Houses made entirely of solid con­ crete are cold and damp, but concrete blocks may be used with good results. Hollow tile makes a very good poultry house, and it can be bought in some sections at a price which compares favorably, considering It* durability, with wood. This construction is well adapted to incubator collars and brooder houses, or to any buildings re­ quiring double walls and good insula­ tion. All kinds of wood are used in build­ ing poultry houses, and any durable adapted to severe winter conditions j lumber which is available for that pur- pose may be used.

Pajamas are sen- T^vjiible, you know, because their trousers ^ f «an't get up and wrap about one's -..'waist as the skirt of the old-time night- ^ 'i|own always did, always does and al- v"\..%ays will. Besides, pajamas are be- tpoming if they are pretty and fit fair- - Jjr well. Especially do boarding school firls like them. They are so much farmer than the night robe, when one 'r .Is running about from one room to an- y^ither to surreptitious spreads and the . flke. So, when you have occasion to fcivp a boarding school girl or a college *rl a present, why not give her a pair Of embroidered pajamas? They may be very plain, with just a briar stitch-3 Ifigabout nlaces whete tjugg must, • lie noma ul a monogram over the handkerchief pocket, with silk frogs to fasten the coat, or they may be quite elaborate and feminine, with a much embroidered coat, and may even have a touch of embroidery about the bot torn of the trouser legs. Pajamas with turn-back shawl collars are somewhat newer than the coats with 3 simple collarlesB V. Cream silk pajamas with a wild rose pattern or forget-me-not pattern down the front of the jacket, about the shawl collar and the turn­ back cuffs are fascinating. There are any number of other collars, and also other materials besides silk. Pajamas should never be, of course, a dark col­ or. Daintiness must be their keynote, and, therefore, we must adhere to the pastel shades. by drawing the colony houses togeth­ er In a convenient place at the begin­ ning of winter, thus reducing the la­ bor during these months. Roof and Front. y The roof is the most expensive but a most important part of the poultry house, and should be water-tight. Shingle roofs should have a one-third pitch, while those covered with paper or metal may have a less pitch, or be almost flat; however, the greater the slope the longer the life of the roof. The shed or single-slope roof is adapt­ ed to houses up to sixteen feet in width. It is one-of the easiest styles to construct It allows a high front to the house, and furnishes a north­ ern slope for the roof on which roofing paper will last longer than on a roof which faces the south. The combination and semi-monitor roofs are adapted for the buildings from sixteen to twenty-four feet wide, while either of these styles, or the monitor and the gable roof, may be used for wider buildings. The com­ bination roof on a house over sixteen feet wide gives the best head' room at the least cost, reduces the amount of surplus air space, and gives a neat appearance to the buildings; while the semi-mpnltor and monitor types are best for wide houses which have a central, alley, particularly brooder houses. The semi-monitor house usually faces south, while the monitor type of roof is frequently used on build­ ings facing east or west. The gable roof is used extensively for two-Btory buildings, for brooder houses, And for incubator cellars. This style of roof is usually .ceiled at or slightly above the eaves, or the globe may be filled with straw or some kind of absorbent material, which tends to keep such houses dry and warm. The A-shaped roof is used for grovrtng coops and colony houses which, with a wall 18 inches high, provides a large amount of floor space with a minimum amount of lumber; but increases the roof sur­ face, which is the most expensive part of the house. ' A large amount of jglass in the front of the house makes it warm during the day and cold at night, as glass radiates heat very rapidly. Unbleached muslin, or a light weight of duck cloth, is used for curtains In the fronts of poultry houses. This cloth should be thin enough to allow a slow circula­ tion of air without a draft, whieh ob­ ject is defeated by using too heavy a grade of duck or by oiling or paint­ ing the cloth. The front of the house should be high enough BO that the windows or openings will allow the sun to shine well back during the win- Is to be used for the outside construc­ tion should be well seasoned, other- wine the shrinkage will leave cracks in the walls. The best shinglefe are made of redwood, cypress and cedar; and White pine is also used. Asbes­ tos shingles are quite durable, but more expensive than wooden ones. Whitewash. Whitewash is the cheapest of all paints and may be used either for ex­ terior or interior surfaces. It can be made by slaking about ten pounds of qqicklimn In a pail with two gallons SNAKE TAKEN TO ZOO .•HP?.'". I , -- of 3 Town, English­ man and Russian; a Sherlock Holmes Tangle---Some Angles to Inquiry Are Very Interesting. Munich, Bavaria.--Recently an Eng­ lishman and his wife, stopping at one of the big hotels and having, appar­ ently, an abundance of money, struck an acquaintance with a Scandinavian, who made a great show of jewelry and cash. Later arrived a Russian' who registered under the name of Frankly, and who became chummy with the othefr three. The English­ man went to the police with a story that the Russian was a man who had been on his trail for two or three years, trying to rob or blackmail him. That stirred the sleuths and they fathered In the Scandinavian and the Russian. When the Scandinavian's apartment was searched there was found In the sathtub, neatly colled, a 30-foot py thon, which a whole heap of a snake, take it from the keepers at the soo who lugged him away from there. The keepers said the python had not been fed for many weeks and was feeble from starvation. Some of the angles to the inquiry are interesting, for Instance: Why the snake f The profound po­ lice theory is that he was to be turned loose In the hotel to start a panic, and while the excitement raged tho alleged villains would steal the jew- Exposition Chief Buys Haynes Car Chas.

It is in constant use- much more so than were any of its twenty-six predeces­ sors, and, due largely to its simplicity of control, Mr. Moore frankly admits that only now is he deriving the real pleasures of motoring.

V Fioo«v: The best kind of s floor depends upon the soil and the use of the house! On light, sandy, well-drained soils a dirt floor Is satisfactory, especially for small or colony henhouses. A board floor is generally used where the level of the floor in the house is from one to' three feet above the ground surface and in portable houses on land which is not well drained. Board floors harbor tats and rot quick­ ly, and should be raised some distance off the ground so that cats or dogs can get under them, which also al­ lows a free circulation of air to pro- vent the wood from rotting. Cement floors are adapted to long perma­ nent buildings, brooder houses, incu­ bator cellars, and to all permanent houses where an artificial floor is re­ quired and can be built on the ground level. ^ Roosts and Dropping Boards.

As two or three smoke bombs that could be carrlcd la a Imndbag would crcc.it a more serviceable panic and help the hurlers to a get-away after accom­ plishing their dark, nefarious project, the explanation does not make a hit. Why should the blackmailer or thief follow the English couple for two* or three years to get their jewels, which are said to be worth $100,000? That has not been explained to a waiting world. High-class crooks are notori­ ously patient, but to lug a 80-foot snake from one end of Europe to an­ other for those many months in the hope of scaring one Englishman and his better half into a fit in a hotel full of folks some time when ,the op­ portunity offered, transfers the prob­ lem from the reptilian to the main mallan and makes It a horse on the investigators. Experts say that a carefully starved python is a bad cltlsen and would un­ doubtedly attack anyone it was "sicked on," provided it did not do the far more probable stunt of squash­ ing the life out of the person who did the "sicking." Also, to make it go where It la pointed, it 1b necessary to cover the python's head with a bag and tap it with a stick, and its prog­ ress would make a noise like a Mis­ sissippi steamboat jamming its way over a mud bar. Thieves stealthily opening the Englishman's bedroom door in the stilly watches of the night and persuading a blindfolded snake to Cnter and give him a lethal hug would have to figure on all the guests and employes being dcuf. dumb and blind. Maybe it was because it was difficult to come upon those ideal conditions that the alleged crooks followed Mr. and Mrs. Englishman for such an un- reasonable space of tliqe. . --jlSftSZ.'-: I expect to tor a car abort..
