SINC13 It has bouome the custom for
women to get out of doors dny In
and day out, cither at the call of busi
ness or for the sake of good health,
(hey have learned to demand many vir
tues In their cold-resisting coats. They
want cloths as warm as fur and good
to look at. They affect mannish styles

Manufacturers have placed on tho
market as smart and trim lines as tho
most discriminating woman of fash
ion could aBk for. One can bo quite
unconscious of the cold when forti
fied against it with the right kind of
clothing. Tho tonic of tho cold will
bo enjoyed by the most dellcato of
women if they are protected from dis
comfort. No winter season has come to us
moro lull-handed in the matter of de
sirable top-coats for tho coldest weath
er than has this. Styles have been
adapted to cloths, and both to tho pur
poses for which tho garment Is to
bo used. Tho result is coats with
splendid qualities warmth, durability
and smartness.

Cameo Coiffure
TURNING to Intricately carved
cameos for inspiration, designers
elf coiffures havo studied them and
navo produced a few daring and som
very beautiful halrdresslngs. Cameos
may bo relied upon to provide variety
in styles, and tho modern artist to
take advantage of every idea which
is to bo found In these wonderful
carved pictures.
Much to tho surprise of the artists
in coiffures somo of their most during
efforts, and a few copies which fol
lowed tho originals almost exactly,
wero seized upon as soon as launched,
and tho cameo colffuro la just started
on a career which may establish It as
a fad.
Tight curls and smooth, oven waves,
and much elaboration in arrangement,
characterize coiffures which follow the
suggestions of tho cameo. Two of
them are shown hore, and it tho hair
of the lovely lady shown at the left

told that she is wearing it a la cameo
It Is waved with tho utmost precision,
with every hair In place. Tho gradu
ated curls op the neck aro smooth and
evenly placed, and tho chignon ns
shapely and smooth ns If carved rath
er than combed. There is no denying
tho eleganoo of this arrangoment. It
Is quaint and charming.
At tho right tho colffuro with show
er of curls at tho back is a typo loss
familiar than that already described
It bhows a mabs of curls covering all
of tho hack of the head, with tho front

the picture, is a fine tjpe. Nothing
could be plainer or more shapely. Tho
lapped seams help out in the adjust
ment of tho Bunnell, and hemmed
edges at the fronts and about tho col
lar and cuffs make a tiim, decorative
llnish. The collar is of the roll-over
kind that may be turned up and fas
tened close about the neck.
Other cloths used for this style aro
chinchilla, corduroy, plush, cheviot,
velours, plaids and checks, and the va
rious cravenctted coatings, besides a
few fancy weaves.
For driving and for the auto, when
tho weather is nipping, these substan
tial, well-adjusted coats make their
wearers cozy. Uke a tailored suit,
they havo a style of their own.
Many of the new models have a
pronounced Hare to the skirt, but the
heaviest cloths arc cut on most man
nish lines.
Ruffled Handbags.
There are some new handbags of
silk with a little flounco of plaited
silk or crepe about the top, quite Uko
a diminutive oversklrt. And so. of
course, they aro charming.

A little investigation recals that
although waves and curls are to bo
counted on as always present In the
cameo coiffuie thoro Is no telling what
odditj of arrangoment may bo dlscov
ored Tho waves aro not always set
and precise nor tho curls always
smooth. The psycho knot and tho hair
turned back from tho face, with part of
the ear showing. Is a familiar enough
arrangement in cameos, llut there are
certain little touches and details In
most of them, to make them worth
while as a subject of study for the In
dividual as well as tho professional
hairdresser

Styles of Capes.

straight military lines, crossed bands
fastening with a snap button at tho
back of the waist giving a vory sol

Is rather short, rarely falling much
below tho waist line. The pago cape
Is a gay little affair of silk attached
at tho back of tho collar. It Is merelj

just now as tho most prominent fig

Every Poultry House Should Have
Broody
Those who uio Interested In poultry
raising aro eager for all tho Informa
tion that they can obtain from those,
who have succeeded. Hut they never
consult or Investigate tho methods of
the unfortunuto ono, who hns failed to
be successful If they would do so
they would obtain moro Information
than If they would read all tho poul
try books In existence. When thoy do
ask tho one who failed, ho always
gives tho answer that "thero isn't any
money In the poultrv business." They
must investlgnto for themselves and
never allow their opinions regarding
poultry bo influenced by others. Tho
statement that poultry Is unprofitable
Is without foundation. Tho fact that
eggs and poultry today command a
better' price than evor before shows
that the demand exceeds tho produc
tion nnd we nil know that where this
is the case, tho production of eggs and
poultry will bo profitable Of course,
there aro many rules thnt havo to bo
followed before this can bo realized.
Tho great reason why so many havo
failed Is becauso thoy havo tho wrong
Idea of tho business. As n rulo thoy
think that If ono has chickens no
matter what kind, and If ho feeds
them, he ought to renllzo profit. Thoy
hnve the idea that all ono has to do is
to lnest a few dollars In poultry and
before long ho will bo receiving such
nn income from tho business to mako
a "living." They do not' realize that
it takes knowledge and business nbll
ity to mako a success and that not
every person or any person enn mako
it pay. Tho reason for all these wrom;
ideas Is that they havo made their
"phugo" without reasoning out what
tho results may be. Tho poultry busi
ness must bo worked out nnd studied
continuously to succeed.
In gather lng material for this arti
cle, tho writer visited tho poultry
yards of many successful nnd many
unsuccessful ooultrymen. In tho yards
of those that wero successlul tho first
thing that attracted his attention was
tho cleanliness of both houses ami
yards. Ono breeder in particular used
Hmo so that it looked as If tho drop
ping boards wero of concrete. Ho did
not sprinkle tho llmo around In heaps
ns 1b commonly dnno, hut he dipped a
broom In tho llmo and then swept tho
boards off. The result was that every
thing was cleaned In nn attractive way
and tho llmo was not so easily stirred
tip. If llmo is sprinkled in llttlo heaps
and tho fowls become excited, they
nro liable to stir It up so that they can
hardly breathe If this happens, it
will seriously retard tho growth of tho
young chickens. The yards of thlB
breeder wero swept every morning
when tho weather conditions wero fa
vorablo Of course that part which
ho was cultivating for green food was
not disturbed or tho purt ho had re
served for dust baths. When ho hud
all the rubbish swept up, ho did not
pile It up In somo corner, but It was
burned immediately. Hero Uos ono of
the secrets of his success. Rubbish
makes an excellent breeding place for
all manner of disease and whore dis
ease Is present thero Is no chance of
success
Tho next point that wqb noticed was
that every man had thoroughbred
stock. Some had paid us high aB $10
per bird. This does not seem high to
tho piofesslonal poultryman, but whon
tho average person reachcH tho point
where ho Is willing to pay that much,
it shows ho realizes what Is needed to
make a success. When ono visits a
poultry yard nnd finds flno, thorough
bred stock ho Invariably becomes a
friend of the owner. The birds nro
not only pleasing to the oyo hut they
uctually earn their "salt " It Ikib boon
said that a thoroughbred bird roqulres
loss care feed and equipment to mako
a success thnn a scrub does Of nil
tho poultry yards visited there wub
only ono case of a failure being made
with thoroughbred stock and this wan

Some Convenience for Confining
Hens.
due to inattention to tho Hock on tho
part of tho owner.
Tho next thing that was noticed in
particular was tho strict attention and
uood enro tho poultry received at the
hands of tho poultryman. Evory llttlo
detail had been worked out In n way
that would lower expenses nnd savo
labor. Up-to-datu supplies and appli
ances wero used in every enso and by
so doing tho hreedor saved an enor
mous amount of hard work. Tho fowlH
wero given tho best of care, not only
for tho day that tho writer visited
them but for every day of tho year,
no matter how hot or how cold it
might be. At certain hours during tho
day thoy wero given their various
feeds and tho poultryman novor al
lowed himself to vary from tho hour.
Where tho writer found poultry n
failure, ho was Impressed with tho
fact of tho carelessness and general
neglect on tho part of tho poultryman.
Many a person had never cleaned outj
tho poultry houso slnco It was erected.!
Tho droppings nro a foot or two deep
and the general conditions aro such)
that a person could not live In them
orro day without catching Bomo dls-.
ease. Such conditions nro a dlBgraco
to tho owner and anyono should bo
ashamed to allow anyono to oven boo
such holcB. As a rulo tho outsldea of
tho houses wero regular "pictures" of
neatness nnd cleanliness, but ono
glance Inside would causo tho observ
er to looso nil the favorable Impres
sions ho had had before.
Tho writer has Been farmers that
wero actually afraid to go inside their
hen houses to gather tho oggs, be
cause of tho mites. They would stand
In tho door nnd when thoy saw an egg
that was handy thoy would rush in
and grab It and rush out, completely
covgrod with mites. How under the
sun can ono expect tho Iiciib to thrive
with such surroundings as that? And
then when this sort of people fall in
tho attempt to "mako money" -thoy
say that thero "Isn't any monoy In
tho poultry business." Of courso thoro
Isn't for such peoplo as they aro! In
the spring time, they never think or
hetClng u hen. but Blmply "lot nature
tako Its courso." If a hen wnntB to
set, all right, but oho must set under
a burdock loaf and endure all manner
of weather and at the same tlmo for
age lor her feed. Tho eggs aro never
gathered unless they happen to think,
of It when they need bomo groceries
from the village storo. As a result
half of tho eggs are worthless and
they lose u llttlo money. If you try
to glvo this class of poultrymen a llt
tlo ndvlce, they ask you, "What do
you know about chickens?" It Is use
less to talk to them. When a man
reaches the point whero ho thlnk'i
thero Is no room for Improvement or
will not take a llttlo valuable Infor
mation in a friendly way, It Is useless
to waste breath on him.
Wo havo seen that the essentials
necessary for bucccsb In poultry rais
ing aro. (1) sanitary conditions; (2)
good stock; CI) good care and strict
attention to business; (4) a man at
tho head who has business ability; (5).
good equipment. Wo found tho rea
sons for falluro to bo: (1) Inattention
to business; (K) wrong impression of
tho business; and (3) unsanltury con
ditions and general neglect.
Try to better tho condition of your
flock. Do not cust this nsido without
thought for It 1b given hero only with
tho view of helping you to better your;
flock and consequently your pocket
hook. Tho writer knows tho abovu
conditions necessary for tho succesa
of tho poultry business because ho hnn
been through tho "mill" himself and
had to solvo everything nlono. It
was for tho very kind of advlco given
In this article that ho hungered and
he Is trying to glvo It to tho farmers
now. so that poultry will become ono
of tho great "onds" of successful farm
ing in tho future
