IN FANCY JEWELS Large and Long Earrings Is Fashion Followed in Paris. - ,? Finest Diamonds and Emeralds Are Set in Jade, Ebony or 1 Filigree Silver. I At-the opera, and at specially smart private entertainments, very beautiful "fancy jewelry" is now worn, notes a Paris fashion writer. "Fancy" jewels are a thing apart from jewels in the ordinary sense of the word. They are offon vuru I 1 "* Mi.uiiuiv, out tney are nearly always fantastic in design. This applies especially to hair ornaments and to earrings. The finest diamonds and emeralds are set in Jade, ebony or liligrec silver and the ornaments , are specially designed by futurist and cubist artists. This is, of course, only a passing fashion, and even at that it is not in I the best taste, stall it is much in evidence. It is not often that one now sees really dignified ornaments worn ?unless for a gala performance or for a ceremonious dinner. The taste of the day is for "faucy ornaments," hut the Pnrisiennes insist that these shall be expensive and original in design. For example, a pair of earrings recently worn at the opera by a wellknown 1'arisun beauty. They were large rings of cut jet in the center of which swung tiny owls made of diamonds and emeralds. The rings were very large and light. Another pair of earrings which attracted a good deal u? notice took the form of long lozenges of pale green jade thickly Inset with diamonds swinging from crystal rings. Earrings are distinctly fashionable and some of the I'arislenneS wear them large and long. Out jet earings, circular in form and sparkling with loose diamonds, are worn at dance teas, and very often one sees large hat pins which match the ear ornaments. And apropos hat pins?they become more and more elaborate and expensive. Now-a-dnys it is the fashion to have the hat itself very simple and the pins which keep it in place as expensive as possible?and as ornate.

TANGERINE SILK WITH JADE A laiigerine-rolored silk waist Is made with short sleeves cut in one piece with the body and gathered to a hand at the waist. This is a variation of the smock or ovcrblouso.

I Basque blouses are'Usually of navy blue or black, but lmve bright-colored embroideries, such as orange, greet* or red. Straw is sometimes used as an ornamentation. It is applied by an over-and-over stitch of silk threads. Ahotiter means of introducing color into blouses is through trimmings of bright leather. The lent hen: is appllqued to the cloth in interesting designs and also used for bolts. Blouses are . made entirely of leather. In these, however, bright colors are not often used, the preference being for browns. Veils for Summer. The fine dotted veil is the most popular this season, and shows gray and brown as the newest colors. Another veil very popular for Vinniner wear is made in squares of a line mesh with a wide border of georgette iu ro?e or peach color. When this veil is worn, only tl"? eyes are seen through the mesh, while the chiffon frame enbuncos the color of the cheeks. ji POULTRY ! |jl FLOCKS jl HOW OFTEN TO FEED FLOCK? . ^ ( Much Depends on' Whether They Arc Confined or on Free RangeGood Plan Outlined. Ju,st how frequently chickens should be fed depends on whether they are i confined or on the range. Some poul- } trymen feed their flocks twice a day, while others feed them three times ( a day. The best plan is to feed fowls j in confinement three times a day and j ? T Plan to Keep Fowls Busy When Con- j fined. those having free range in summer J twice u day. When there is a very j long intervul between feeds it Is diffl .cult to keep fowls busy which are : kept in confinement. Idle fowls often contract bad habits, such as feafher pulling and egg eating, besides going out of condition from lack of exercise. In case It Is not convenient to feed three times a day, tlie moistened mash ! may be fed in the morning, and at the same time the noon feed of grain may be scattered in tlie litter, which j will keep the fowls busy a great part j of the day. For those who cannot conveniently ! feed tlieir fowls early In the morning a good plan Is to scatter grain plenti- j fully in tlie litter after the birds have gone to roost. This grain will furnish i | feed for the early morning, say poul- ; try specialists in the United States lie- ! partment of agriculture. Some poultry keepers can look after 1 their fowls only once a day. If this , is iu the morning, moistened mash may be fed. followed by throwing grain In the litter to furnish feed for the rej mainder of the day. If it is in the evening, before dark, a moistened mash may lie given, and either after tinfowls go to roost or in the morning. J 1 before daylight, grain may be scatI tered in the litter for eating during | the day. PLfiNS FOR BROODING DUCKS ; Mother Duck or Hen Is Quite Satisfactory Where Small Numbers Are Being Reared. I ! Those rearing ducklings in small | numbers usually accept' I lie services | of flie mother duck or mother hen, nc| cording to which Is used to do the I hatching, for the purpose of brooding, and when only a few are reared this is a satisfactory method. Where ducks are raised in large numbers, however, artificial methods are always employed and the brooding is done by individual brooders or by long, hot water pipe systems heated by coalburning hollers. > PROVIDE FOWLS PURE WATER j No Excuse for Permitting Them to | Drink Impurities From Puddles? Cause of Diseases. Fouls are not very discriminating in regard to water, and appear to enJoy drinking from puddles of foul water just as much as from pure and wholesome sources. That is no excuse for permitting them to do so, however, and the Impurities in such water often cause serious losses. Either drain the stagnant pools or |pODLIRYNOTK| Provide plenty-of shade.

TEA GOWN BACK TO ITS OWN vaarmenxs moaeiea on cmnese Patterns and Are Worn Close About Throat. The English woman never really liked the tea gown until the war came. Even the Japanese kimono, observes a writer in the Manchester Guardian, could not rid her of the idea that thq tea gown savored of the dressing gown and was in conflict with a strictly tnilor-made ideal. With the war the tea gown entered another phase. It made pence. The English woman found in it an admirable substitute for the discarded evening dress. Finally, it appealed lo the sense of the picturesque, usually one of the most fatal elements In the British dress ideal, and it appealed with unusually pleasing results. The tea gown is flow becoming part of every woman's wnnlrobg. Tea gowns Just now nre very pretty. Many of them are modeled on Chinese patterns and go so far even as to be worn closed about the throat, there Is something very distinctive about the Chinese coat fastening elose round the neck. The long Chinese coat Is also being worn as a tea gown; and this Incidentally Is a far better use for It than that of evening coat, when its colors j rarely harmonize with outside western dlnginess. Enterprising people ' also adopt the Chinese trousers, which usually nre not more than leggings slinped rather like wadtyrs. With white silk stockings and black shoes the effect Is distinctive. Some ten gowns nre eliminating sleeves altogether and retaining only the coat. r ur incM- siruigiu ur ni'uafniif it-it gowns, stuflfs cannot be too gorgeous. It Is one advantage of the tea gown, and no slight one, thqt It admits of every gorgeous color nnd color combination. I ' DOTS FROM GILBERT ROUTE 3.
