Ono of these suits, for tho little chap
of five or so, snys "como on out and
play," and tho other, "como In and be
dressed for dinner," or Bupper, or
something. They arc examples of tho
clothing which Is manufactured In such
variety, of washablo stuffs, for tho
everyday wear of the small boy, and
nothing that will contribute to his
pleasure or freedom has been over
looked. The tax and strain of his romp
ing and tho exactions of the tub have
been considered, along with careful re
gard for neat appearanco and smart
lines.
Nowadays, tho little boy's summer
clothing Is no problem for tho busy
mother, because manufacturers are
malting It for them. With specialists
to design It, machines to make It, and
a limitless variety of goods to choose
from, tho advantago Is all with tho
manufacturers. They have turned out
clothes better designed and as woll
made as the home production and at
such low prices that there Is no
economy In undertaking tho work at
home.
Crossbar glngiinm piped with a
plain color in chambray furnishes the
time-honored and proved material for
the blouse. The back of tho blouso Is
extended over the shoulders to form
a yoke. The yoko Is piped with cham

bons and braids. Inlays of silk on
brim or crown, or both, proclaim the
work of proficient makers. Wings
and wing effects of ribbon, quills in
profusion and unusual mountings,
fruits and braid ornaments in unend
ing variety, contribute, among other
things, to thoir decoration.
A group, in which throe excollent
models aro shown, nlvcs a good Idea
of tho work lavlohod upon millinery
for this season. It Is Ibis requirement
of lino workmanshiy that accounts for
the higher prlceB, in part. Then the
amount of trimming has been 'In
creased and tho prices for materials
have advanced. Millinery, considering
everything, Is not unreasonably high.

Tho straight sleeves are finished with
bias bands of gingham piped with
chambray, and tho belt Is made of a
similar band. Tho blouso and bloom
ers aro joined at tho front by tho belt.
At tho back they button together un
der tho belt, which la provided with
button and buttonhole at Its ends. The
bloomers are adjusted abovo tho knees
with elastic cord run In a casing.
Pique serves for the white suit band

pocket of tho chambray on tho blouso
and a stltched-on belt of it about tho
straight pants. Tho pants button to tho
blouso with a fly set under tho belt.
Pearl buttons on the blouso and belt
contribute something to tho finish of
this little suit, which Is good enough
for any wear.
Many Russian blouso suits aro dis
played by tho shops, made of colorod
linens banded with white. Delft blue,
green and warm brown aro tho colors
used in them. Patent leather belts
appear on a few, but fabric bolts seem
to hold first place.
There is nothing clumsy about even
the simplest of rompers. In clothes
for little boys, as for grown people,
cutters aro doing the cleverest sort
of work and shaping garments In many
ways unfamiliar to consumers.

handsome ornament of braid la a big

tho crown along tho edge, at' Its un
derside. A sailor with somewhat narrower
brim is trimmed with ribbon In con
trasting colors. Or a light tint and
dark shade of the same color might be
used. A llango of silk, like tho lighter

darker ribbon aro wired along ono
edge nnd mounted at the front. Two
plaited frills, ono of light and ono of
dark ribbon, and a handmado orna

i demand for intricate ornamentation,
which the modol meets tastefully.

He thercforo agreed to bo tho local

"If you don't go out I'll throw you out," declared Doromus, though tho

For somo Btrango reason tho man got up and moved out.
"What if he hadn't gone?" Doremus was asked.
"Woll," ho answored, "I suppose I would simply havo had to glvo him

KERN'S
When Senator John W. Kern was
a young Inwyer at Kokomo, Ind., he
represented ono sldo of a case in
which tho whole controversy hinged
on tho identity and ownership of a
certain calf.
The chjef witness on tho side
against Kern was a colored man. He
contended that tho calf belonged to
his friend, Mr. Jones. When Kern ex
amined him tho conversation run
something llki this:
"How do ycu Know this was Mr.
Jones' calf?"
"Woll, 8a' I had seen It nround
his placo bo much that I jes' natu'lly
got acquainted with it. I seen It thoro
with tho1 cow Its maw and I no
ticed it p'tlcu'ly becauso It had funny
marks on It. vVheli you see a calf
ov'ry day you simply bocomo famllyah
with It."
"What kind of a looking calf was
it?"
"It was a red calf, sah, with white ears and a white n'oso."
"And It belonged to Mr. Jones?"
"YesBah."
"Now, suppose that nil tho testimony hero Bhould show that tho calf ir
this caso was a whlto call with red ears and a red noso. What would you
say about that?"
"Well, sati, 1 reckon I d say It belonged to Mist&h Jones."

(Hy PROR II. U KKMPSTEK. t'nlvcr
Blty of Missouri, OoIIoko of Aurlculturc.)
In soloctlng a location for a poultry
liouso tho fanner usually chooses tho
one which in nearest to his homo in
ordor that tho houBowifo may con
veniently enro for tho poultry Hock.
This accounts for tho usual location
of tho poultry houso halfway botwoon
tho houso and tho barn where It is
convenient for tho hens to overrun
not only tho farm buildings, but also
tho kitchen porch. This habit la also
encouraged by tho Indiscriminate scat
tering of feed, often closor to tho
farm buildings than to tho poultry
houso. If tho farm poultry houso Ib
located so as to mako It natural for
tho hens not to run in tho yards,
thero will bo very llttlo troublo with
them overrunning tho farm buildings.
In tho enro of poultry ono should
aim as far as possiblo to food nil tho
feed In and around tho poultry houso.
Frequently poultry enn bo encouraged
to run into tho orchard by a slmplo
arrangement of tho fonces. Grain
crops can often ho grown upon tho
eamo ground upon which tho poultry
flock Is running with vory llttlo Injury
to tho crop. Corn Is especially adapt
ed to such a practice. This practlco
furnishes an abundanco of shndo dur
ing tho summer whon it is most need
ed. Tho yards nro plowed occasion
ally, cxpostng tho boII to tho sun, de
stroying many dlseaso germs and In
testinal parasites, and tho droppings
which aro generally wasted aro util
ized. In addition to making condi
tions inoro healthful, this growing of
crops on tho poultry runs also reducos
tho feed coat. Undor Missouri condi
tions it is inoro dcslrablo for chick
ens to bo kept upon cultivated soil
than It is to attempt to havo a perma
nent sod run. Often tho garden can
bo alternated with tho poultry pas
ture. Under fnrm conditions thta
kind of yarding can bo oaally arranged
with practically no fencing. While tho
location of tho farm poultry houso Is
genorally determined by tho convenience-
with which It can bo reached
from tho houso, a llttlo fore
thought will enablo tho poultry koop
er to mako tho abovo arrangomontB
without sacrificing convenlouco.

Hints on House Construction.
Four Bqunro feet of floor apace
should bo allowed for each hen.
Havo from eight to flttcon Inches
of roosting spneo for each hon.
Allow ono nest to every four or Ove
hens,
Whon muslin Is vised for ventilation
purposos, ono Bqunro foot of muslin
should bo plncod on tho south aido for
every IB Bqunro feet of floor space, 11
tho houso la 15 feet wldo. If tho
houao la ton foot wide, on tho south
sldo uso ono aquaro foot of muslin tc
every 20 square feet of floor opaco,
and If tho houso Is 20 fcot wldo, on
tho south sldo uso ono aquaro foot ot
muslin to every ten Bqunro . feet of
floor space.
Tho foregoing rules will also apply
in tho uso of tho shutter-front method
of ventilation.
Tho height of tho tops of tho wln
dows if placed on tho south aide,
should bo a llttlo less than one-half
as high as tha houso is wldo.
Glass Bhould bo placed in the houso
at tho rato of ono aquaro foot to
overy in aquaro foot of floor spaco.
If tho chickens aro yarded, 1G0
squnro foot of yard spaco should bo
