SO Shoe Shop Expert Shoe Fitters 215 El Paso St. Facing Overland N inspiration of the milliner's show -windows in El Paso will show great prenaration for a busy season. Easter will soon be here and that makes the busiest sea son of the year with them. Other merchants look forward to the Christ mas holidays as harvest time for them. It is their busy season andv so it is that every line of industry has its sea son and certainly this is preeminent ly the busy season for the poultryman whether he be a fancier in the strict sense or a producer of egss or poul try for market, and as the merchant j makes great preparations for his spring- traae oy navmg jus siock. in right quantity and in correct shape so the poultryman should have everything in shipshape for this busy season with him. There are quiet seasons in1ils I business when he must wait upon the. worit or sine hcjwu mice ur iuui jtiuinus and upon them depends largely the success f his enterprise. It is the pivotal point of the year and work at this time determines largely which side of the ledger the Balance will De on at the final accounting. The Breeding Season. This is breeding season, laying sea son, hatching season, brooding season and the season for selling eggs for hatching and If you produce eggs for market everything you have is laying and you are selling more eggs, now than at any other season of the year. On a poultry plant at this season every yard, every house, every nest, every coop, every incubator and ever brooder is either in use or should be in perfect condition and thoroughly disinfected for nse when its time comes. It is now that you are hatching chicks for next fall and winter shows, anu for next winter layers and they must have the closest attention. A little neglect at this time can convert a pob sible winner into a call. It can make white feathers grow where they should be red or buff or black and it can dwarf the growth of a bird so that it can sever be made to attain standard size. This is the season when a little carelessness or neglect is more expen sive than at any other time. 'It is the crisis of the year. Should Advertise Mating List. Breeders of fancy poultry in this sec tion should have had their mating lists scattered over the country by January 1 and if they have advertised liberally and judiciously in the El Paso Herald they should be behind with orders. But I must digress a little to say that 1 have never been able to understand how it is that so few mating lists are mailed at the 1 Paso postofflce. We have a score of breeders in and around Kl Paso who have birds, some of them as fine as grow anywhere and yet with a few exceptions they are satisfied to keep stock enough to indulge the rais ing of fine poultry as a fad while, wltn profit to thenselves and the commun ity, they might cause to f,low this way many foreign dollars. They have the foundation stock which any discerning breeder would be proud of and have had it for years exhibiting it and win- nin prizes ana yet they seem to care for but few small pens just to keep up the stock, nevr advertise, Issue no mating list and actually sell most of their eggs on the market at 4 cents per dozen for culinary purposes -while ! thai. fallAH. .... a. .... ai ' ici iczsun wmiaiiicil ale aenuill away and paying $5 and up per sitting for eggs of lower class. Xo wonder the poultry association drags. Our poultry men seem to have set out with the sole purpose of demonstrating to their own satisfacion that conditions with us are mostxfavorable for the pro duction of the finest specimens of their favorite breed and then to ex hibit.a little and let a few others see that they have them, but they do not seem 10 care io uisseimnaie uie siock, but to want to keep it. The people of El Paso as a rule are thoroughly imbued with the spirit of commercialism and usually get all the money out ofUpvery proposition there is Jn it. The iriHiltry men, however, are a conspic&ouir. exception to this rule and with a few exceptions actually lose interest in -their flocks when they reach the point that their birds al most force money on them. I love a true fancier, .but 'I think the poultry fancy not at jail inconsistent with a de sire to make it bring revenue. I have in -mind right now a man who has been breeding a variety for severs years and has several birds which cost him more than one hundred dollars each, and yet I think he has never sold an e;:g or a bird and probably will keep on breeding them and only his friends will know what he has. though he has won prizes and a few first prizes, to. at some of the largest poultry shows in the United States.

SPIRIT OF THE FAR EAST IN NEW, EVENING GOWNS Eastern and Oriental Effects Predominate Natural riot Artificial Figure Lines the Mode Now Seams Give Place to Winding Drap eries The Wonderful Mahomet Gown Sets Paris Astir Southland Dancing Frocks of Net and EmbroideryYellow the Pet Color of the Moment. Of the East, Eastern are the new evening gowns, fresh from the hands of Paris couturiers, and created for the demi-satson, the betwixt and between season coming after Christmas and be fore Lent, which has come to be from a fashionable standpoint one of the most important stretches of the whole year. Society, during this season, is divided, like farther Gaul, into three parts; those who stay at home to attend" the opera, the last of the assemblies and cotillions and the after-holiday wed dings ; those who go to Palm Beach or other southern resorts, and those who go to the Riviera. But wherever the social centre, the pre-Lenten gaieties wax fast and furious: festivities of all sorts follow one another in quick suc cession and the newcomer in fashionable circles who imagines that the costly evening gowns of last fall may be made to "do" through the last few weeks of the season, finds herself sadly mistaken; for some of the most notable toilettes of the winter are brought out during the demi-saison weeks. Orientalism the Fetish Now. The far East is now the source of in spiration for the builders of women's clothes. You may be Oriental in any way you like, and affect in your raiment the East Indian, the Chinese, the Jap anese, the Mohammedan, the Turkish, the Bulgarian, the Roumanian, the Egyp tian anvthme at all that is Eastern; but woe be to you if you show any hint in your costume of the early Victorian, the Louis XV, the Colonial, or any other effect that is Western and arti ficiaL Natural Eastern effects in plain er words, uncorseted figure lines and swathing draperies are the ideal now, and any suggestion of a nipped-in waist, a trim ani tidy, corseted and tight fttted figure with flaring, swinging skirts is hopelessly bourgeoise and old fash ioned. The new evening gowns, de veloped for wear on the Riviera, and in America's Southland in the gay pre Lenten season,' are inexpressibly Ori ental in conception. The Eastern effect begins with the loose, draped figure lines and is expressed further in the magnificent fabrics subdued yet deep in color tones, the metallic trimmings, the transparent stuffs used over the upper part of the figure with draperies of rich ly flowing silks and brocades around the feet, the dragging foot-draperies that seem to impede walking; the winding scarf draperies that float about the fig ure; the burnoose and sling draperies directly borrowed from the Orient; the barbaric head-dresses of metal and beads; the jewelry, and especially thfe pearls whose vogue is enormous just now.
