Though in Much Daintier Fashion Than Those of a Few Years Ago. Hail the old-fashioned wristband' it's In again. Very much so and you're nt strictly up-to-date if you don't possess at least one specimen. These bands, which take the place of bracelets, but are much daintier, con sist of strips of Inch-wide velvet rib bon long enough to go once about the wrist. On the upper side of the arm. the strip of velvet is secured by a pair of inch-square or inch-long ob long clasps of engraved gold. ham mered silver or carved ivory. That is to say. the simpler sort of wristbands are thus clasped. The more expensive kind are made of platinum or of gold or silver thickly encrusted with tiny jewels or gems or set with a single large Jewel or gem, surrounded by others of much smaller size. Fre quently several kinds of Jewels orna ment a pair of wristband clasps and again a single diamond or pearl is im bedded in the center of a square of precious metal. It is possible to have a pair of the large old-fashioned cameo or coral earrings made over into wristband clasps, and, although in former days a single bracelet band of this type was rarely worn, nowadays it is com monly seen. Many women who have inherited a collection of old-fashioned ornaments are having them made over into bracelet clasps and usually the task is neither difficult nor expensive. Tall Trimmings on Millinery. According to the Dry Goods Econo mist. tall trimmings continue the rage and in some of the Imported models this Idea is carried almost to the point of absurdity. Among the most effective models now being shown in which the tall trimming idea Is employed Is a black Milan sailor with the brim gently rolled at the left side. A tiny fringe of black goura Dutlines the brim and from the edge )f the brim at the left shoots upward s tall black goura aigrette bent at the top in loop form. The tall trim sing idea is also strongly emphasized n this market. Question marks of !eathers, ribbons, cords, etc.. long nolnted sleeves, flat spear-like orna nents of velvet and of various fancy ilks. aigrettes of small flowers close : packed together, and long spike Ike Jet ornaments are all utilized in his fashion. Linings. Green as a trimming, especially an ighteenth century shade of green, rill be a feature, particularly as coat C inings for velvet and fur. Yellow and c •range are also popular for this pur ose. Much can be expressed in a oat lining. Many of these linings are t rorks of art in themselves, and a lin- 1 og denotes proper appreciation of de ils which augurs well for the essen lal. A fascinating effect noticed in a alilor made coat of chestnut brown weed was a lining of olive green atln with a piping all round inside of d nattier blue shot ribbon. b Metal Coln Pursm. o An attractive novelty in Jewelry is ie tiny coin purse of perforated met.

As we were fishing for the cam era, a long-range contest was useless. and we fought the fish fiercely from the time they struck. We smashed five heavy tarpon rods and broke lines that would each sustain over 60B pounds. We held our canoe as near the tarpon as possible, and as soon as he seemed tired, pulled it beside him and took the hook from his month. Somdtimes we found this exciting The avoirdupois of the fish caught varied from one and a half pounds each to more than one hundred times that weight, while their length ranged from eighteen inches to over six and a half feet. From Charlotte Harbor to Cape Ra ble we exploited the tarpon fishing grounds: we captured them in the Gulf of Mexico while white-capped waves spilled water over us. and we were towed by them through narrow. overgrown creeks. where sometimes our quarry escaped us by leaping into the thick bushes over our heads The tarpon can bhe played gentJy from a' light-running reel for hours, or he can be fought furiously and made to leap wildly around, beside. over, and even into the boat of the fisherman. Rmall tarpon, weighing from two to fifteen pounds, are found in fresh water In creeks and pools near the heads of rivers. larger fish, of from 20 to 60 pounds, choose the brackish water of streams near the Gulf: while the real ly big fish. weighing from R0 to 200 pounds, are more frequently caught in the big passes or near the mouths of. large rivers. I fished from a light canoe which my boatman paddled, while the cam- - era-man sat in the bow of a little motor boat which backed, filled and hovered on the sunward side of us On our first day at floca Grande--the mile-wide, ten-fathom pass, home of great sea creatures, from dolphins to turtles, from sharks to deffitsh-we' found it windswept, but its turbulent waters were alive with fish of many kinds. Flocks of gnlls. tern and peli cans above, and splashings of Jackfish and tarpon below, marked the pres ence of great schools of minnows. The tide was boiling out of the pass when we struck a six-foot tarpon which at once started for the Gulf. carrying us toward the line of foam crested rollers outside. The motor boat vainly struggled to hold us against tide and tarpon. We were , rushing through the water away from , UNREHEARSED, BUT MADE HIT Climax to Dramatic Act Not What Author Intended.

Easy to Work. We believe that there is but one best time to scatter manure, and that is as soon as possible. We dto not save up the manure from spring to fall nor from fall to spring for any pet theory. Manure Is a very valuable product, yet the less time and labor spent in handling it the more profit there Is and the more it is handled between the stable and the field the less real fertility It will eventually contain. Last fall we chanced upon a cer tain farmer who was hauling out his summer's collection of manure, alid was carefully piling It all over the field in piles, says a writer in an ex change. We went over to find out his reason for doing it instead of scat tering directly. He said be always thought manure did the most good I when bcattered directly before spring breaking. and he wanted it piled up (during the winter so it would not be gone by spring by freezing, washing ;and bleaching. lie didn't like the idea of its being piled all in one big heap and being scattered in the spring elth e"r, but wanted it piled in smaller heaps so he could scatter more easily I and save loading again. Then he had read of how manure lost so much of its va'up in heating or burning out shat. although he used to pile it in bigger htaps. he now made smaller piles. Really the man had caught faint iidklings of the advanced mnethods and made just this one step forward. l'rbably the smaller heap will not fire as badly as the larger heap. yet how much and labor he could have saved if he had scattered the manure directly instead of piling It up in the field. Experience has proven to us that freezing is the finest thing in the business to put the manure in shape for the spring crops. No nitro gen or other valuable elements are lost In this way.
