Tho Mother hod not suggested Much
a possibility, nnd Tho Girl hud been

The Invitations to tho wedding wero

Ants as Sterilizers.
Many schemes havo been developed
for ridding clothing or Boldlers of
vormln, ns substitutes for tho romedy
used In penco times slmplo cleanli
ness. Gasollno or kerosene rubbed
Into tbo Beams Is tho favorite Idea
A member of tho Kronen Academy of
Medlclrio, howovor, has roported a
simpler scheme, which is good during
wnrm weather.
Tho soldlor Is directed to tnko off
his clothing nnd lay It on an ant hill.
Tho nuts will soon dlscovor tho hiding
plnccs of tho llco and capture thorn
with enthusiasm.
Tho ostrich boa has mot with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic revival
of popularity, nnd aeems destined to
outdistance other kinds of Huffy and
airy neckwear. Tho unusunlly cool
weather of spring has mado somo sort
of protection almost a necessity, and
thero Is no denying tho becomlngness
of soft feathors about tho throat.
Whlto rox, red fox nnd light gray or
tan fur neckpieces ono sees with tho
most summery of whlto urbnus and
llowor-trlimned hats. This voguo Is
probably a reflection from tho west
ern coast, for visitors to tho Panama
exposition havo found tho weather
cool and everyone indulging In tho
San Kranctsco privilege of wearing
furs with summer gowns.
Tho feather boa of today Is short
as to length, long as to tlber, and liked
best In white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally a
boa moro than long enough to Ho
loosoly about tho throat Is seen, but
not often. They all fasten with bows
of soft mcssatlno ribbon, apparently,
or tho cxcoptlon Is so rnro as to
provo tho rulo.
Very smnrt sets consisting or boa
and ostrich-trimmed lints are shown,
and thoro nro great numbers or cock
ados, fans, and othor fnnclful orna
ments mado or ostrich to bo used on
midsummer hats.
Threu bons nro shown here, ono In
white, ono in the natural tan nnd
whlto color or tho feathers, nnd the
third in blnck tipped with white. In
tho hiKt tho white lluo la tied or pasted
on to tho colored Hue, and thero Is
an endless variety In combinations to

Hut tho boa may bo had now in any
color, oven the most unusual now tints
and shades.
It is to bo remombored thnt a bit of
rich and Huffy neckwear presupposes

pictures hero a white fabric hat is
shown trimmed with a pattern applied
In small black beads about tho brim
edge, it has a collar of whlto ribbon
with small aquarea of embroidery In
