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. The drapery which has met with STRPED LINEN DRESS.

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.

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 EXCELLENT BROWN SWISS COW The Brown Swias la one of the standard breeds from Switzerland li li 4; b<> iiiiiu generally distributed throughout Kurope and waa tlrat tui ported Into the lulled rtlatea In latin It;own Hv.u-, rattle are well adapted to I'ondutone wh«a a combination uf la NMNiiUttt. sow# weigh l.juo to l.lon po< nilk The ttMUMlily of milk Is mud gt**d Art HI ding to lbs Am. rU .n 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 the 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. | made a record of 4,103 pounda milk lu IN daya. Sowing Lata Cabbage.

Too many of ue are like tbe cowboy. "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 antl raised the calf.' " —Detroit Free Press. Caught Too Quick.
