IN PLAIDS OR CHECKS MATERIALS POPULAR FOR YOUNG GIRL'S AUTUMN CLOTHE 3. Designs Are as Pretty as Ever, and In the Fullest Vogue—The Sootch Fabrics Are Also Strict ly Correct. When in doubt as to missy's au tumn hat. coat or dress get something with a touch of plaid or check, for materials with these patterns are again eminently in vogue for young people and they seem quite as pretty as ever. To quote the dressmakers for the junior world, one can never get away from the suitability of such mate rials to youth—the Scotch fabrics with their varied melange of color »nd checks, big and little, seem so Juvenile and correct for young peo ple's wear. So here they are again with us, holding a breath of new color swmetimes, showing the familiar de vices of the Scotch clans, in dress Bilks and wools, in coats, hair rib biftis and buttons. The pretty de signs are a great relief from the pfcsin materials that have reigned so long—hut, dear me, except for a light lifference of detail, some of the long 3oats showing the plaid or check reverse and decking are all but twin sisters to last year's wraps. This takes nothing away from their charm, the deft changes here and there giv ing the last-agony touch in a way sufficiently piquant to suit the most ardent devotee of new fashions. At this season the long coat need sd for school use, and which will, of course, come in for many other ac :?asions, is of more importance to the :ollege maid or high school girl than anything else —anything but her hat, for without a suitable headpiece the most charming coat could not be worn, coats and hats of a kind need ing to run together. The shops are full of correct fabrics for it, the soft reversible coatings, plain on one side and plaid on the other, used last year and still with us, offering themselves as the most facile textures in the world for home sewing for nil the trimmings of the coat are made of the reverse side of the material. Of the plaid touch on little girl frocks, those short-skirted gowns maids from six to eight wear, there s no end, but somehow checks seem a bit more suitable for these than the larger plaids, and many of the Uussian blouse styles lend themselves most effectively to a combination of shecked and plain material. The design shown in the illustra tion allows this use of the two mate rials in a very smart way, the coat being of a plain blue wool and the little skirt and blouse trimming of shecked blue and white wool. Here the collar is a flat round affair, but 112 made in sailor form a shield with a nigh neckband could be used inside, and this arrangement might be bet ter for the lassies with tender throats. Serge, broadcloth and cheviot; are other adaptable mate rials, for, to be sure, the dress could be made of one fabric, and the Btyla of it is good enough for the very best street suit. For girls of all ages—and for wom en, too, for that matter—there are some perfectly round felt hats with rolling brims which respond very prettily to a binding and crown pip ing of plaid silk, or if the hat la al ready bound and banded a Scotch quill may be added to the side. So If there are bits of handsome plaid and checked fabrics in the house they will come in very handy for the trimming of youthful hats, for the very wings thfeinselves may bo made of silk or velvet, and when of a fabric they always seem smarter than when the real thing.

TYRANNY OF HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "If you'll promise not to tell a soul, Charlotte," said Mrs. Darlington to lier hostess, "I'll udmlt that I'm suffering from an overdose of daughter-in-law. A certain amount Is a mental stimulus —too much simply stultifies. "Frances, my son Arthur's wife, ' came to visit me just at the time all well regulate housekeepers think they have togo through the deadening process known as housecleaning," slio went on. "Now, don't breathe it to a soul, but I never clean house. I cer tainly try to keep things nice and comfortable, but my natural Instinct! Is to avoid dirt. My attitude Is that if it will leave me alone I will leave it alone. "Who minds a little dust under the beds and In the closets? I will answer my own conundrum by telling you that Frances does. She is perfectly intol erant about it. She is constantly talk ing about germs and microbes. Since I am confessing all my shortcomings. I will admit that I don't believe in mi crobes, anyway. They're far too small. Frances does, though. Oh, dear, yes, she does. "She simply can't sit down and read happily unless the house has been thoroughly swept and garnished. I can do it without a tremor. I can leave dishes unwashed until every dish in the house has been used and not feel a qualm. Frances has the dishes round ed up and washed so quickly after they have been used that she leaves you with a defrauded feeling, as though you had been done out of part of your meal. "The morning after she came I saw her eying the living room curtains, which I must confess were not im maculate. " 'Don't look at those curtains, Frances,' I said, in my merry, light hearted way. '1 know they're not very clean, but I'm going to have the laundress wash and iron them Mon day.' "Frances half opened her mouth, then shut It again. I wondered at the time why she didn't say whatever it i was she had on her mind, but later in the day I found out. " 'Mother,' she said, tactfully— Francis is very tactful—that afternoon j when we were sitting in the living | room having what I considered a cozy i little chat, 'l've been wondering if It ! wouldn't be nicer if we should get j some curtain stretchers and stretch j the curtains on them instead of hav i ing the laundress wash and iron them.' "To make a long story short, she dragged me downtown that very after noon and we bought curtain stretch ers. The next morning, with her own | hands, she washed those curtains. Oh, | there is no doubt that she is wonder i ful. I stand in the greatest awe of I any one who can wash things clean. I | never could. They're always much worse when I finish with them than I when I began. "After the curtains were arranged ! to suit her I happened to mention that | I had some material which 1 intended ito make Into comforters when the j spirit moved me. Again speaking j metaphorically, she fell upon that ma | terial tooth and nail. Then for days j she and I struggled and perspired j | amid billows of cotton. "When one morning she accidental-; ly opened the door of the chamber of | horrors I thought she was going to j faint. The chamber of horrors, by the j way, is the room Into which it is the j time honored custom of the family | | to pitch everything that the family j wishes to rid itself of. Personally, I j get along very nicely by simply shut j ting my eyes, opening the door slight -Ily and shying In the article. Then j after the door is shut I have no fur j ther qualms. But Frances got quite j white when she looked in. She made me feel —she did it tactfully—that no j decent, self-respecting woman could ! exist in a house with a chamber of horrors. So together we pulled and hauled and worked and suffered and threw things away and had a perfect ly horrible time generally, but we fine ly emerged in that pathetic and despicable condition called "as neat a3 a pin.' "It took us days to do it and we were both nearly dead when we got through. But the very next morning after we finished, if you can believe me, I found her with her head out of the window and the air of a hound that is just getting the scent. She was listening to a vacuum cleaner that was chugging across the street! "'Oh, mother,' she said, 'l'm going out to see If those men can't come to morrow.' "Frances," I said, 'you will do noth ing of the kind. I positively refuse to be any cleaner than I am. From now to the end of your visit I Intend to have my kind of a good time even if there isn't a floor swept or a dish washed.' "I did It," said Mrs. Darlington, gloatingly. "I kept Frances whirling in a perfect vortex of matinees and luncheons and afternoon teas and I had a beautiful time. But I relented the day before she went away and let her clean up the house for me. "Frances is a dear girl," Mrs. Dar lington declared finally, "but she cer tainly has a weird idea of having a good time!"— Chicago Daily News. Poultry Diseases. More diseases are contraeted by : poultry between June and September : than during any other part of the year. In summer one Is apt to be come more or less careless In their attention to the fleck, and thus lose heavily. Guard against this condition I by giving them a Utq# nttl I ■Hnv Mtas niiH FRESH EGGS IN GOOD DEMAND Little More Attention to Details Will Result In Profit, Repaying Time and Labor. (By PROP. A. a. PHILLIPS, Kansas.) The demand for eggs seems practi cally unlimited, more especially for the better grades. The growth of the storage industry has tended to equal ize prices by Increasing the de mand In summer when fresh eggs are plentiful and supplying tlie defi ciency In winter when fresh eggs are scarce. Since the demand Is greatest for the best grades, it seems obvious that a little more attention to details will result In a profit amply repaying tlio extra time and labor involved. It is not the purpose here to enter Into any discussion of the ways of Increasing the production of eggs, but simply to point out the possibilities I . ! ■A^ ! 0935 afe •- ♦ I An Excellent Egg Candler. of profit as a result of extra care in handling and marketing the eggs now produced; the extra profit is to be made by obtaining (lie top retail price, and, us consumers become acquainted with the product, by ob taining a premium of from one to five cents per dozen over the regular price pair for ordinary eggs. In order to obtain top prices for eggs, they must be uniform in size, uniform in color, and uniform in quality. The uniformity in color is not always important and depends on the market; uniformity in size ex cludes small eggs and unusualls large ones as well; while uniformity in quantity calls for absolutely clean eggs that have been gathered promptly after being laid, kept under the best possible conditions, and marketed not more than three or four days after they are laid. TEACHING HEN GOOD LESSON Poultry Gate as Shown in the Illustra tion Will Save Cussing and Garden Truck. Barrels of perspiration may bo saved by the poultry gate shown herewith, which is reproduced, with the article from the New England Homestead. Whoever has uninten tionally acquired the hen chasing, hen-cussing habit may cure himself with this little device. In the fence, preferably at a point near where the fowls are fed, a little door about 10 by 12 inches is hung on the inside of the yard, so as to al ways swing shut without springs. It is stopped from swinging outward by the peg shown at the right. Mrs. Hen, returning repentant from the garden, will poke her head into every mesh of the fence in her efforts to rejoin her happy companions. The gate will thus allow her to enter without excitement or commotion l'roin the lord of the harem from the irate owner. But another advantage may be gained by using the gate in connec tion with the laying pens. If tlie two gates are used, one opening inward Garden or Nest Gate. in front of the nest, the other open ing outward at tlio back or the side, so that the hens may goto another yard after laying, tlio poultryman may know which hens have and have not laid. Thus he may avoid the troublo usually connected with ordi nary trap nests. Breeders for Next Year.
