NEW INDOOR FROCKS ALMOSTANY NUMBER OF GRADES TO SELECT FROM. While There Is a Suggestion of the Bustle, the Majority of Gowns Are of Round Length—Some ' of the Simplest. Although the street suit is generally the first fall purchase, the women who dress tastefully and correctly In the house also look for Indoor frocks at this time. There are grades in the new house frocks as in everything else. Some are too magnificent almost to be looked at, as well as a shade too eccentric with their varied looplngs or distinct panlers to seem suitable for any but the idle rich. But out of the hurly-burly of suggested bustles —some of the rear loopngs of the skirts are more than a mere hint of the old turnure —the pointed trains, exaggerated tight sleeves and inor dinately high and tight collars, there are features which all the world may copy to advantage. For example, the majority of the dainty gowns are of round length, and even if some loop ing of the skirt seems to be needed for the look of style every species of drapery is capable of much simplifica tion. One New York shop which devotes itself entirely to indoor gowns re fuses to entertain the elaborate house styles, showing little costumes of a sort any woman might wear or copy for use in a modest home. Silk and wool fabrics in all of the new whites are made up in one-piece style, the bodice treated to rolling polo collars and cuffs in color or black, and the belt of the same. The sides of the skirts show the panier influence, some of the side breadths being gathered to bulge out, or the garment display; ing a definite tunic, parted at the middle front and drawn back in two skimp puffs, ending in a little flattisli bunching at the back. Other skirts display the separate tunic with the looping very low at the sides, these falling sometimes over plain skimp skirts of the same silk that trims the collars and cuffs. These demure and yet coquettish frocks suggested the needs of the business woman who • wishes to make a nice appearance at the boarding house dinner and be dressed for evening collars. In the shops—where busy women of medium means must always buy both practical and fine clothes—the simple frock for afternoon and even ing wear seems very closely related in style and material to the skimp and dainty things one has seen all sum mer. With sleeves set in or cut with the bodice kimono fashion, high waist line, plain scant skirt and low col lars and roll-back cuffs or flat sleeve bands, these dresses sell In autunvi challies, silk trimmed, from $8 up, and in silk with appropriate deckings from $lO up. Here and there on® U capable of the most clever changes, the addition of a chiffon peplum Jump er or a fancy sash arrangement turn ing the plain thing at once into some thing of the utmost elegance. In unmade materials suitable for simple and smart house frocks there are many bargains, from the very fact that so many Bummer textures can be used. Silk Is always useful for the dressy house frock, as it Is correct for both day and evening, whereas the most charming challle seems only correct for day wear. A woman is sometimes fugitive, Ir rational, Indeterminable, Illogical and contradictory. A great deal of for bearance ought to be shown her.— Henri Frederlo Amiel. BLOUSE SLFEVE IS NOVEL Genuine Comfort and Artistic Appear ance Combined In * Reoent French Importation. There is a genuine comfort in the sleeve displayed in one of the recent ly Imported French blouses. 't is long, of course, for all Paris Is wear ing long sleeves with the same eclat with which they adopted the short ones In the winter, and is tight from : the elbow to the wrist. It fits com- | fortably into the armhole under the arm, but the upper portion runs right up over the shoulder to the collar. This affords an excellent opportunity to use a long length of lace, from three to four Inches in width. The effect is very much like that of the popular raglan sleeve. The under sleeve may be of tucked net, chiffon j or nliion. The long lines of lace from collar to waist lend the kimono effect j without any of the looseness of the j kinomo sleeve under the arm. This sleeve Is generally buttoned from the wrist to the elbow with tiny lace or silk buttons, for the glove- j like snugness of the sleeve demands an opening. The ruffle at the wrist is often extended to the elbow, some- > times on the outer seam, again on the Inner. To have a ruffle dainty, however, It must be fresh, and un less this can be accomplished it is advisable to omit it. MUSLIN DRESS FOR GIRL This is made in Swiss spotted mus lin and has the skirt prettily trimmed with tucks, insertion and a lace edg ing. LONG SLEEVE MOST POPULAR Variety Is a Great One, But M«H Frocks Are Made With Decided ly Long Ones. Since evening dresses and little dance frocks are in a class by them selves and presupposes the use of long gloves, their sleeves are less apt to show any decided changes. There is so little of them, in the first place. But fashion has given her fiat anent afternoon dresses and suits. Here are some of the changes: In the majority of dresses the long sleeve prevails. Most of the sleeves are set on the garment about three inches below the shoulder, thus giving a long shoulder line. Some frocks show the cuirass effect or separate large sleeve over the set in sleeves that are on the underbodlce. Fullness is the keynote There is given in ruffles at the elbow, in wired puffs on undersleeves, In the general cut of a bishop or leg-o'-mutton type. Shirring is used on cuffs and on the under arm seam to dispose of ma terial in full lines. Frills are shown on the edge of the sleeves and running up the outer seam. They also edge the upper and under lines of the cuffs. dullness is given to the sleeves of storm coats and evening wraps by having them cut In one with the gar ment, dispensing with armlioles, yet departing from the kimono type by j having decided cuffs and a fitted end at the wrists. Hats From French Milliners. Three unusually attractive hats embody many of the smart new ideas for fall. Among the most Interesting of these is one from Suzanne, which Is of the sailor type. Developed in black velvet, with a band around the crown of golden wheat, which finishes In the center front with red velvet puppies, this flower trim has met with favor and is being worn by the fash ionable Parisian. A small Suzanne hat Is also shown, developed In black velvet, the feature of which Is the soft fall of the brim. A band of white skunk Is used around the head band ! of this hat, which iB finished at the side with a small American Beauty ; bud. A chic black sailor from Madame Dalany has marked distlnc tlon. White coquez are placed grace fully at each side of the hat. —Mil- linery Trade Review. Crepe Draperies. The young daughter's room may bo made dainty nowadays at a small cost.

Other Thinrs Com bined—Spray is Urged. (P.y J. S. JEFFREY.) Tt is quite possible to I'" ■> the t""' poultry kc; t i.i wil.-buiU ■ t\d, and st .11 not get aiiy profit ■■ pleasure from them. In too many cases where a good start has been made the house is neglected and al- j lowed to become filthy and infested with mites. It may be snid that filth and mites generally go together, for while a house that is kept fairly clean Side Elevation of Poultry House. may be infested with mites, it is very seldom that a dir y house will be found to be free from these pests. Lice and mites cause more losses among poultry than all other things combined. Poultry houses :he be so ar ranged inside that t. poultry man can keep down the ir.lt s without an undue expenditure of time a".d en ergy. Mites live in a hor.3e and must be killed there. Ousting the hens will never get rid of them. The best means of getting rid of mites in the houses is to spray thor oughly with kerosene emulsion. This should be done twice with an interval of from five to seven days between the sprayings. The emuh.ion is made as follows: rut up one ; und ol' si. p a:.d di; solve It in hot v..ter; v'.iile the water is hrt. stir in two gallons of kerosene and continue stirring for fifteen tc twenty minutes. It i.j important tc have the kerosene, soap and water well mixed, especially if it is not t« be used at cnce. To this mixture add sevent'-en gallons of water.

Some recommend 13 per cent., but we ha\e found 10 per cent, efficient in killing the mites. Kerosene used on the roost once a week in hot weather will help to keep down both mites and lice. If put on a short time before the hens fo to roost, some of it will get on the feathers and will kill and drive away lice. Care must be taken not to get too much on the fowls, or it v.HI blister them and this will the hens from laying ju- 1 as nn.tl the liee will. KEEP TA.3 ON AGE Or FOWLS Enables Poultryman to Cull Out Hens That are Ur.prortr.hle—One Method Favored. Tt Is mere guess work to tell the age of a hen after she has passed the pullet stage. To the good poultryman lit is important that the exact H~e cf every fowl on his premises be known. Hens that are past the age for pre It should be culled out and their places taken by the younger stock. Legbands with numbers may be ur-ed when the pullets arrive at maturity, and, if rec ords are kept, the identity of each fowl is easily established. A less elab orate method, and one which no potil trykeeper can afford not to follow, is to punch a hole in one of the four webs of the feet, each web represent ing a certain year. Special punches for this purpose may bo purchased from any poultry supply house, but a SIUJII sized leather belt punch can be ured to good advantage. The hole is punched very easily when the newly hatched chick is first taken from the nest or incubator. All of one season's chicks may be marked on the same web, although if special hatchings re to be kept separately as high as 'fteen combinations can be used. If •roperly done the hole or traces of lie scar will al'vavs remain and the identity of the fowl cannot bo lost. Size of Pou'try House. As to the proportionate size of the house to the number of fowls kept, only he who remembers that "there Is more profit in a house half full i han in a house twice full," is safe from blundering at this point. The most lev -l-headed practical poultry (iipn insist nnon ten square feet per fowl.

C 'tvre. Cv.lture may b • divided Into three classes: Musical, literary and artis- I tie. Musical culture ia made up of motifs, money and lialf-nakednesa.

In the case of young women, a sudden marriage I eometimes works wonders. Artistic culture is divided into real- > lstic, impressionistic and mystic.

One of the greatest needs In a hen house is a dry, clean trough for feed ing shel , grit, bran or the dry ration. The man who has a c ilod house can try my dim hod and I'll guarantee he will like it, writes Mrs. M. L. Dean in . the Northwest Farmstead. Cut -JH S4|_ 1 r^-i- '■ ■ ' jjl-, J Trough for Chickens. through the celling board between the studding and take out the board. Put two small hinges on it, replace, and fix a button to hold it in place. Next cut a slit about two inches wide and nearly to the studding on both sides, about a foot above the floor. Insert a trough running back, and slanting to the outside clapboards. Allow the front edge of the trough to come a lit tle above the opening in the wall so the feed will not overrun. With a coal scuttle the trough may be easily filled, and the hens cannot waste, or get on top of the trough and foul it. I have three in my house for grit, shell and bran, during the winter. Where one feeds grains and thinks it best to keep a hopper before the fowls all the time, this plan will be liked, as it takes up no room what ever. If one's house is not ceiled the boxes may be put on the outside of the troughs running through. The tops of the boxes should slant so the rain will run off. These, of course, will have to be filled from the outside. With this plant the feed drops down as fast as the hens remove it from the troughs. 112 j QUALITY | Z Wli' ii people realize that it X { is not the quantity for the x money, so much us the quality ♦ ♦ thai counts, then they will ♦ ;♦ patronize the store which does X ♦ business in good pure goods. 2 * Cut rices often mean cut 5 Xqt ali s.
