For High Occasions
BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
A GROUP of handsomely gowned
women, dressed for a social func
tion requiring their best efforts,
shows the more or less beautiful ef
fects which have been brought about
In draped skirts. Fashion has turned
a smiling face to this innovation; it is
welcomed more for ils possibilities
than for Its accomplishments. It must
be confessed that a "built to order"
figure and natural grace of carriage
are required to redeem some of the
models from clumsiness, but given
6lc-nderness and grace in the wearer,
costumers have turned out a few un
fcrgetable models, with touches of
beauty not to be achieved, except by
the employment of draped effects.
One of these was brought out in the
gown made for a maid of honor in a
wedding in what we are pleased to
call high life. This gown, of mar
quisette, over voile, which in turn
was posed over messaline, showed the
marquisette turned up about the bot
tom of the drapery, providing a nest
ling place for a long band of roses
which were held by It as one holds
an apron full of roses. The panier
drapery, which was heralded with
much noise—mostly of alarm—failed
to be accepted except In a form so
modified that its identity was lost. A
trace of it is seen in the figure at the
left of the group.

most success falls in straight lines
nearly to the foot of the skirt where
It is confined In various ways. Some
times a band of embroidery gathers
It in; sometimes it is gathered into
several points and fastened to the
skirt with ornaments, or buckles. Most
often It falls free in front and is gath
ered to a point at the back where it is
confined by a buckle made of the
same material as the dress.
The center figure shows a gown
embodying the best liked of the sea
son's new features. This is the in
lay of a plain broad band of lace or
silk on the material. The top edge is
shaped usually in slanting lines, but
many gowns are finished with plain
broad bands of material, heavier than
that employed in the body of the
dress.
Embroidery in rich and varied col
ors is introduced in nearly all gowns
for state occasions. Hits of Persian
and other Oriental designs in silk add
to the appearance of intricate design
ing in these costumes. As a result
gowns are brilliant.
Chiffon coats in long, clinging lines
are worn over these sparkling crea
tions. The effect is very fine and em
phasizes once more the liking for
Oriental splendor in the usa of colors.

HAT PIN OF SEALING WAX
Very Little Skill Required to Turn
Out Article at Once Pretty
and Useful.
Wonderfully pretty hat pins can be
made out of plain, ordinary sealing
wax, and they require very little skill
in the making. A plain hat pin is
taken and a knob formed on It of red
sealing wax, which has been found to
make the best foundation. When the
knob has become thoroughly hard it
is covered with as thick a layer of
wax as desired, according to the size
that is preferred for the hat pin. this
layer being, of course, the color of
the hat for which the pin Is intended.
Hound, square, flat, oblong and, In
fact, all sizes and shapes imaginable
ur<' to be seen In the fashionable hat
pins of tin- moment, so that the maker
is given a wide range of ingenuity.
To obtain the required shape the wax
must be worked and molded with the
Angers while in u half molten state,
tiut care must be taken not to try to
work It too soon, for nothing burn#
more cruelly than boiling wax. A*
<>on as the wax is near enough the
desir r «l shape It should be plunged
into cold water to harden. When quite
ard another application of a different
i olornl wax ma) be given. Tills last
may be put on In streaks or circles, to
give the effect of a definite design
Two shades of blue fur example, used
-ti this »;iy will be most effective,
bile a bit of gold or silver sealing
vax should always be at band fur em
bellishing the more mmiber colors.
\N Ith a little practice numberless
I different designs < sii be worked out
and soon, with just a little skill, a girl
•an provide herself with u pretty sat

STRENGTH AND CHEAPNESS
OF ROUND DAIRY BARN
Several Points of Superiority Over Rectangular Formed
Structure Have Never Been
Fully Considered.

Round Dairy Barn.
In the early days when lumber was
cheap, buildings were built of logs,
or at least had heavy frames. Under
these conditions the rectangular barn
was the one naturally used, and peo
ple have followed in the footsteps of
their forefathers in continuing this
form of barn. The result is that the
economy and advantages of the round
barn have apparently never been con
sidered. This is because they are not
obvious at first sight, and become
fully apparent only after a detailed
study of the construction. For these
reasons, the rectangular form still
continues to be built, although it re
quires much more lumber. As the
price of lumber has advanced so mate
rially in recent years, the possible
saving in this material is a large item,
and well worth investigating.
The difficulty with most round barns
that have been built, thus far, is that
they do not have a self-supporting
roof, and consequently lost many of
the advantages of a properly con
structed round barn. This is the prin
cipal reason why round barns have
not become more popular. A straight
roof necessarily requires many sup
ports In the barn below. These are
both costly and inconvenient, and
make the roof no stronger than a
dome-shaped, self-supporting roof
which nearly doubles the capacity of
the mow.
Many who have thus disregarded
capacity have also wasted lumber and
made a needless amount of work by
chopping or hewing out the sill and
plate, thus requiring more labor and
lumber, besides sacrificing the great
er strength of a built-up sill.
Another reason for the scarcity of
round barns is the difficulty in get
ting them built. Most carpenters
hesitate to undertake the work be
cause in the erection of a round barn
the construction should be entirely
different from that of the rectangu
lar form. Many new problems pre
sent themselves, but when these are
once understood, the round barn of
fers no more difficulties In construc
tion than the rectangular form.
The first thing to consider in the
erection of a barn is a convenient
arrangement for the purpose for which
It is to be used.
Considering that the barn on n dairy
farm is tisid twice every day In the
year, and that for six months each
year tin' cows occupy it almost con
tinuously, and that during this time

a large amount of the labor of the
farm Is done Inside the barn, it is
evident that the question of its con
venience is a vital one.
The circular construction is the
strongest, because it takes advantage
of the lineal, instead of the break
ing strength of the lumber. Each
row of boards running around the
barn forms a hoop that holds the
barn together. A barrel, properly
hooped and headed, is almost indes
tructible, and much stronger than a
box, although the hoops are small,
This strength is because the stress
comes on the hoops in a lineal direc
tion. Any piece of timber is many
times stronger on a lineal pull than
on a breaking stress.
All exposed surfaces of round barns
are circular, as both the sides and
roof are arched, which is the strongest
form of construction to resist wind
pressure; besides, the wind In strik
ing it, glances off and can get no
direct hold on the walls or roof, as
it can on the flat sides or gable ends
of a rectangular structure. If th«

lumber is properly placed in a round
barn, much of It will perform two
or more functions. Every row of
siding boards running around the
building serves also as a brace, and
the sume Is true of the roof boards
and the arched rafters. If the siding
Is put on vertically and the roof built
dome shaped, no scaffolding In re
■ quired Inside or out. These are points
of great economy in the round con
struction.

Immense Saving Possible.
In a i-:-z'.z:.:~y bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Til
berculosls announces that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
seml-charitablo sanatoria scattered in
all parts of the United States Is
$1,669. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $1,300,-
000 and over 815,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which is part of an extensive study
the National association is making for
its bureau of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least $150,00(f,000 if the indigent
consumptives were properly segre
gated.
More Serious.
"Mathllde Browne was very rude to
nn overdressed old woman she met on
the street the other day."
"I know the story. The old woman
turned out to bo Mathllde's very rich
aunt, and now she's going to give all
her money to a hospital for decrepit
dogs."
"Nothing of the sort. In fact, It's
worse. The old woman was the

"An itinerant preacher preached to
a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal
Son.' He described the foolish prodi
gal's extravagance and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk
eatiug with the swine in the sty; he
described his return, his father's lov
ing welcome, the rejoicing, and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
"The preacher in his discourse no
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made a con
cert, and addressing the cowboy per
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
" 'My dear friend, what would you
havo done if you had had a prodigal
son returning home like that?'
"'Me!' said the cowboy, promptly
and fiercely, 'l'd have shot the boy
