The uses that the Ingenious find for the odds nnd ends of s-llk nnd velvet that accumu lute In the scrnp hag, tnnke n scrap bag a regular treasure. There Is ti long list of fascinating trinkets nnd belongings that spring from this un pretentious source, most of them per sonal things dear to dainty women. Gold lace, gold net, lingerie luce. mnde silk flowers and fruits aro the elegancies that Join forces with silken stuffs to fashion nil these trinkets nnd perfumed powders scent many of them. Starting out with the simplest nnd smallest, there nre little sachet bags, two or three Inches square, mnde of bright colored ribbon and filled with cotton scented with sachet powder. A half dozen of those little hags, each having a tiny gilt wifety pin In Its edge, are tied together In a package with a narrow ribbon. They limy ho pinned In the dress or pluccd in glove, handkerchief or veil boxes or with stationery, pervading everything with a delicate odor.

For thojn very fine vollo blouses, mostly In nil white and mnde by hand, nre already an as sured success. Organdy proves popu lar In hondwenr, accessories and frocks, mnny resort lints featuring It both In the body of tho hat and In the trimmings. All gentlewomen will welcome the return of simple dresses nnd blouses, beautifully made and adorned with old time hnnd stltchery. There Is a re finement about them not exceeded by even tho sheerest silk weaves, and the crispness or organdy makes possible certain effects In trimming that can not be duplicated by other materials. It Is manufactured In all the light shades as well ns white, and these nre used alono nnd In combination with white. In the picture above there Is an ex nmplo of what can be done with or gandy In frock and tat. It Is a sim ple dress with plain skirt shnpod to narrow, a little from tho middle of the figure to tho hem. Narrow frills ac cent Its lines.

Then there nre the needle nnd scissor cases and nil the company of work hags that prove a Joy forever to their owners, together with Jewel nnd pow der bags crocheted of mercerized cot ton or of silk lloss and lined with silk, The coat hanger finishes the list of per sonal belongings, but It does not cover all tho uses for pieces of silk, which Includo many furnishings foi the home. Spring Clothes uctly the same character as the dress, but It allows itself decorations In an gora yarn embroidery, This combina tion of the siieerest of cottons with tho woollost of yarns would bo star tling If one bad not been educated up to It by tho same Idea worked out In silk and angora, both taffeta and crepe-de-chine having proved thnt beautiful effects are wrought by It. In January tho stores all over the country present their first displays of new cotton goods for spring. Already women who nro clever with the needle aro planning their blouses of sheer cot tons for next summer nnd mnklng up things for themselves and their dill- ' ilron so thnt more time may bo spent out-of-dnors when spring Is here. 0 Little Girls' Styles.

DUCK RAISING ON INCREASE Long Island, N. Y., Contains Large Number of Commercial Farms There Are Three Classes. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) According to the cons-ns of 1010 there were 2,1)00,5125 ducks In tho United States, valued at $1,507,101, showing a decrease In number of nearly -10 per cent us compared with 1000. It should be stated, however, that the unlmal census of 10(H) was taken June 1, nnd that of 1010 April 15, which fact would considerably re duce the above percentage, although only fowls three months old or over wero reported on only 7.0 per cent of tho farms tti the country nnd are most numerous In the following states, ar ranged according to their production: Iowa, Illinois, New York, Pennsyl vania, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Ohio, the number ranging from about UiKi.OOO head In Iowa to 100,000 In Ohio. New York Is the only one of these slates which shows nn Incrense In the number of ducks, while all tho others show 11 marked decrease. Long Island, N. Y contains 11 number of large commercial duck farms which upparently are quite successful. It would appear, therefore, that commer cial duck furnis nre Increasing some what, while the production of ducks on general farms at a sldo Issue Is decreasing, especially In the middle West. There aro 11 standnrd breeds of ducks whlcji have been admitted to the American standard of perfection. Theso may be divided Into three classes: (1) the meat clnss, Including the Pekln.

Tho common or so-called "puddle" duck Is kept on many farms In middle West and South and Is gen erally of smnll size, n poor layer, and an undesirable typo of market duck. Excepting the Musjcovy, all of our eco nomic breeds of ducks are said to have originated from the Mallard, or common wild duck, GOOD POULTRY HINTS Keep the iIl'.Ms clean; provide one nest for every four hens.

If a brooder who has always kept one kind of hens suddenly changes to another breed, he ought to remember that tho new variety may have to be fed and cared for In quite 11 different way. That will call for study as to the best kinds of food, best methods of housing and many other things.
