I . I. ' r r ' Veils of the Moment. . The newest veil Is called the 1\Iel. . 1 ba , " and looks more little : ! an exquisite / , lace flounce than a veil. It is deep , and wide and circular , and made mostly . If. _ 1) of Clantllly lace , with its flat , slllty \ mesh mad graceful patterns. I Some of them have the pattern or t the edge repeated , In a smaller way , \ at the top of the flounce , just where it lies overt the brim of the hat. . Chiffon : veils-some of them-have scalloped edges and are nppllqued with small velvet daisies. But their ' charm is the way they pull \lp on R r . drawing string and tie snugly around or over the crown. Some of the prettiest automobile 'I veils are double-a medium shade , with a lighter shade over it , and joined . ed together at the toV. Anoher double veil has the inner veil embroidered In large dots and shirred _ up to fit somewhat under the chin , while the outer veil flows free. A curious trlclt-It's new too-is to have the veil : ! made of changeable stutrs. The second color doesn't show \ , definitely , but gives a little shimmerIng - , lug beauty note that Is fascinating. I Lingerie Blouses. I Lingerie blouses are to be worn the f i Winter through with tailored coats and iI.i , / skirts They are really indispensable , ; ) { , - for they are thin , taking up no room , and when mussed water and a hot Iron restore them to an Immaculate cond1 , tlon. They are , however , as expensive S as the more elaborate silk and crepe bodices , as a greater number of them are required ; but they are always . . ' ' . . .J fresh and spotless , and thus delight . , the dainty woman. In cut they are almost - most facsimiles of those worn during the summer , save that heavier laces _ are used , cluny , guipure and the lately revived crepon being favorites. Those laces are used as Insertion rather than In appliques , and In many of these blouses the lace is also elaborately embroidered - ; 1l broidered In floral designs In plumetls r stitch. One such blouse has its crepon r lace embroidered across the front In / chrysanthemums. ' Brilliant Red and White.

Hood for small Child. Fashions for the wee ones arc as exaggerated and varied as those of their elders. In hoods there Is an endless variety. An odd but pretty model Is white faille , and It may be readily copied at home. One piece of silk makes the hood , and where It joins a back Corms a decided point 011 1 I o l top. A wide band or heavy lace , edged with a tiny ruffle of plaited slllt , turns back from the face , and a deep cape or the material , bordered with narrow rume of slllt , Is attached to bottom of hood. Strings of white taf- feta ribbon tie In bow under chin , Pleasing Styles In Coats. The short basque coats and coats of moderato hip length will bo found more generally becoming than the redingotes . Ingotes , and while not so new , are quite as fashionable. The short basque coats are , of course , fitted snugly at the waist and often belted 01' girdled ; but though the general tendency Is toward the coat fitted closely at back and sides If not In front , the sack coat has not disappeared and loosely fall- Ing coat models are numerous. tI ) e/ JW . Se uf' Putting ground coffee to steep in cold water the night before will bG found to result In economy' and rich- ness of flavor for the breakfast bever- age. Enough coffee should be used to allow one tablespomflll for every cup and an extra one for the pot. Sugar should be bought In small : quantities as It dies and loses flavor If kept ; raisins , currants and candled peel will not keep long. Vinegar coon loses Its flavor If kept , and so does Lucca oU. MacaronI will not keep , and spice , pepper and roasted coffee , too , soon deteriorate. Candles burn better and more slowly . ly If they have been stored in a dry place six or seven weeks before be- uAed.Soap will go twice as far If well dried. It should be cut Into small blocks and these arranged In tlores with spaces between to allow them to dry. Charming New Collar. Here's the dearest little new collar just out-meant for a light silk blouse. It's not morn than two or three Inches , deep and fits just around the turn ! of the throat. But the way It's made . refuses to be set down In cold black I and white letters. It Is frills and fluff ; and tiny hints of roses and bits of' ' the sheerest laces joined together like fairy work. Style In Evening MIllinery. White hats lead for evening wear , touched delicately with silver or' gold or delicate colors. Some have cloudy pinks or blues Introduced so sklllfully as to Ire almost like mother of pearl or the softest sunset colors 9 Electricity Kills Insects. The EloldrotechnlHcho eltschrlrt ( Berlin ) announces that It has received ed from 1\1. Lolmzejewsl ) the description . tlon of an apparatus for the destruction ' tlon of 'Insects , of their larvae , and of cntorplllars , the apparatus having , 1'0' cl'nUy been presented to the Odessa Technical society. Under a wagon , drawn by horses 01' run by nn alcohol motor there Is placed n small dynamo. This dynamo Is moved by a system of gearing placed on the axle of the vehicle . hlcle , the dynanw being connected with an Induction coil In front of which Is placed Wehnelt interrupter . tel' . The negative pole or the induction . tlon coil Is connected with lie Iron framework of the vehicle , that Is con- nected with Il series of metallic brooms placed behind and under the wngon. These brooms , may bo moved In \'ortlcal direction , and us they give forth n largo shower or sparks , any Insect within the range of the broom Is ( lestroyc(1. ( 1'he wagon should , follow Immclllatel behind the plow , as the IIIUer , by opening the earth , brings to light Insects and larmo. - - - Feeder for - Stock. One of the disagreeable tasks ! In relation - latlon to the care of horses , cows or other cattle Is the necessity of arising early und supplying , them with feed. This Is especially true with mlllt dealers . ers , bakers ! : and many others who are compelled to get up all hour or two before serving their route In order to feed their horses. This Is also the case on Sundays with all drivers of team8. Automatic time stock feeders are not new to the trades , by any means , but few are ns simple as the one shown In the llIustrntion. This Is 20 constructed that the feed may be , Allows the Feed to Fall automatically released at Il predeter- mined moment by attachment to IIn alarm clock and fed Into II trough or manger. A chute , through which the food Is to be passed , Is shown In the illustration - tlon , with . a hinged door at right an- gles to the Inner wall thereof , the door being connected with an arm which projects through the wall of the chute. This arm fs fastened to a spring held to a pin In the outer wall or the chute. A bracket supports a clock upon the other side of the chute , the clock hav- Ing Don alarm att chment. The key which winds the alarm apparatus Is connected to a sprln-lll'esscd ; bolt I which Is mounted In the wall of the chute and designed to support the I hinged door when the same Is weighted - ed down with food. As the clock runs down the cord withdraws the bolt , and when the proper time Is reached the door Is released and the food falls down to the mllnger. After the door Is relieved of Its weight the spring will cause it to resume Its normal 110' sltlon. This would also he very useful In large eBtaullshments. The patentees are John R. Hay and William E. Sanke , of Salem , Mo. - - Improved Decoy Ducks. " A decoy duck that will flap Its wings I and rise from the water has been put on the market.

It would he much better to leave the trees where they are , even If It were necessary to use the ground about them for something else , and to plantt young trees on the spot intended for these bearing ones. If , however , It Is determined to transplant tile trees at any cost , the work should be very carefully done und us many roots n:3 possible ) kept ) on. The trees should beheaded headed back severely , at least twO ) years' growth being taken off all round / the tree.-M. Transplanting Rhubarb. IJ , A. G.-What Is the best time to transplant rhubarb which was grown from seed fown : last spring ! ? Rhubarb may be transplanted at any time after the leaves lie ( down In Ufo fall ; but with young seedlings I should advise you to walt until spring to move them. There Iii danger of small roots being thrown above the J ground by the action of frost : ! , and If planted thin fall they might have to 110 set again In the spring. Prepare your ground this full by plowing \ under well retted ( manure ; or , HUll better , plow out trenches four feel npart. Fill the trenches to within six inches of the top with manure , throw In two inches of fine dirt and set the plants , having them three feet apart In the rows. Mulch each fall with manure , which should he forked around / the plants the following sJlrlng-C. E. 11. - - - - - - - Roup In Turkeys. , E. M.
