Is also made.
The full sleeves
are finished with
cuffs of the mate-
lal, bordered with the trimming,
which flare over lace ruffles.
Lavender Ball.
Stalks and (lowers of tho old-time
sweet herb, lavender, have been made
into something very charming, by tho
artistic woman of to-day. To do it,
she gathers tho (lowers on stalks
about ten inches long, drying I hem
carefully. Thou, taking a bunch of
stalks an inch In diamotor and press
ing them closely together, Mio turns
the flowers inward at the top, forming
a ball and weaving narrow green sat
in ribbon in and out between the stein
lets, a dainty basket like top is formed.
Tho ends of ribbon are then wound
closely at intervals around the stums
until their ends are reached. A
length of ribbon tit this point and one
at the flnvp oiwt l usil to riti-nt
the "stick," and long loops of ribbon.
forming two tassels, are hung on those
suspending ribbons, still further beaut
ifying this fragrant lavender bail.
Velvet Suit Still a Favorite.
The velvet suit promises to be as
much a favorite tills year as last and
its new suppleness renders it extreme
ly desirable for autumn wear. A mod
el which is suited to stout and thin
si I Ike has a coat of slightly Mousing
bolero effect, entering a deep pointed
girdle of satin. A' the center of the
back the seam of the bolero lengthens
over the girdle into a plaited postilion
iha reaches nearly halfway down the
skirt. Light-colored broadcloth em
broidered in French Idiots and sou
tache braid forms the vest and also
the wristband for a turnback cuff.
Corriings of satin encircle tho neck
and make a heading for the hem of
the skirt.
Frock of Green Linen.
The skirt is plaited and ornamented
at the top In fron
with buttons. The
blouse is also
plaited and orna
mented with but
tons, and has a
scalloped yoke or
n a m e n t e d with
motifs of embroid
ery and bordered
with a ruffle of Val
enciennes lace.
The slcoves are
finished just below
tho elbows with
t u r u o v e r ouff
etJsotl with the
lace.
The girdle is of
the material or of, leather to match.

This is the time of year above all

hats in the riotous wine reds, purpb-s
and mulberry shades are worn with
lawn frocks of last July, and white
canvas shoes peep out from a n w
plaid wool skirt in a shamefaced man
ner. Some women wear white lite u
frocks under long ulsters ol full
weight and others sport their sum
mer coats of white duck or linen or
dark cloth skirts. Sarlorially tho sea
sou is betwixt hay and grass, and tho
American woman's reputation as the
best dressed in tho world Is having a
pretty close shave.
Evening Gowns.
That satin is to assume much impor
tance in tho winter frock scheme
seems beyond doubt. Satin models
are many, both in evening and hi vis
iting gowns, and nothing lovelier is
shown than some of tho satin evening
gowns in prlncesso or in Umpire form.
The Empire lines are being accept
ed enthusiastically in coats and in
street or visiting costumes made with
coats, but whether tho Empire gowns
for house and evening wear will find
cordial acceptance remains to be seen.
Some beautiful gowns of the kind have
boon worn in Paris during the past
year, and it is said that several of tho
great dressmakers intend to push the
Empire evening gown this winter, but
wo shall see what wo shall see. The
lines need very skilful making and
graceful wearing.

gown is a tiling established. II. too.

Pretty Hats For Children.
No matter what its fate in the fash
ions of grown-ups, the largo hat will
always remain the most artistic for
ihe child's face. There is no lovelier
simple hat than a large white felt with
huge Alsatian bow of wide ribbon di
rectly across the front. Oik; model
i rimmed in this manner has the bow
held ar the center by largo braid rings,
and tho hat is shaded to tho face by a
narrow facing of velvet underneath
the brim. Ribbon streamers both in
velvet and silk are also seen on those
largo hats at the back.
Color Schemes for Little Ones.
Judging from late Parisian coulee
lions for youngsters, the popular col
or schemes this full show that vouth-
fill mixtures of black and while set off
by velvet collar and cuffs in bright
colors, and a peculiar shade of bluish
gray have taken precedence over the
many shades of brown worn last year.
Dark blue, always such a satisfactory
color, has a brilliant rather than n
dead hue in this season's model coats,
lirlght olive green is also a favorite,
particularly with collar and cuffs ot
fur, and for the child who takes earn
of her clothes, there is no color better
suited to youth and beauty than a
light shade of tan.

Luggage Carrier.
Tho noMdty of sum" of the (eice
patterned appeals a! once to the eye
and Immediately the wonder is that It
had not been thought of before. In
tills class is the luggage carrier shown
in the Illustration here, for the use of
porters, traveling men, and others, to
assist In carrying heavy articles, such
us grips, suit cases iii'l the like. I'.s
pans are few and simple, consisting
of a harness arrangement for suspen
sion from tho shoulder of tho user, to
which is connected a brace or stay
which also bears against the hip and is
utilized to support the luggage to be
carried and holding It spaced from the
body.
At each end of the strap are hooks
which are connected with loops in the
brace. A chest strap is also provided,
which is connect oil with the shoulder
strap and passes around the wearer
beneath the arm to retain the should
er strap in position, both straps hav
ing adjusting means consisting of
buckles. To render the adjustment
MAKING THE WINDMILL SECURE
Precautions to Prevent Violent Strain
on Barn Frame.
A heavy stool tower and windmill
built on a barn frame makes a con
siderable weight for the timbers to
bear. It is well to have the tower so
thoroughly braced as to bo perfectly
rigid. Three twisted wire cables can
be used for guys to run from tho top
of the tower to heavy anchor posts set
deeply in the ground. These guys will
keep the tower rigidly in position and
prevent any strain on the barn frame
in a violent windstorm.
Tho wkcteh and tho following d
script ion will fully explain:
Two of the tower corner posts (F.t
rest on the main cross beam. The
other two (F) rest upon the purlin,
shown at ('. The vertical shaft runs
down alongside the purlin to tho beam
at A. The bevel foot gear is located
here, and this runs the horizontal
shaft.
The vertical shaft is of cold rolled
spring steel, one Inch in diameter. The
lino shafting is of the same material,
one and one-half Inches in diameter,
and runs through three adjustable
hangers. "Wood split pulleys or prop

New Sinoke-Consumer
A new smoke-prevention device for
holler furnaces lias been invented by

sists of discharging a combination of
steam, air and producer gas into the
furnace. The three elements are
combined and discharged on to the
fuel in the front of the furnace. The
resulting chemical action releases the
hydrogen in the steam and combine -the
oxygen with the carbon in thv fit- !

be papered. What amount of lumber
ami paper will be required?

loft would bo as follows:
I pieces 2 ft. x ii ft. x 12 ins. joist?.
2 pieces 2 ft. x t! ft. x S ins. sills.
11 pieces 2 ft. x 4 ft. x !i Ins. studs.
