HELEN DINSMORE HUNTINGTON WILL BECOME BRIDE OF VINCENT ASTOR Young New York Multi-Miflionaire and Charming American Girl to Marry on April 30-Couple Have Been Acquainted From In- fancy-Mother of Prospective Groom Arrives From Eu- rope to Witness the Ceremony. New York.-On the last day of April a most notable society event will take place up the Hudson-the marriage of the head of one of the greatest Amerl- ean houses, Vincent Astor, and Helen Dinsmore Huntington, daughter of an- other line which has long been promi- sent in American affairs. The recent arrival from Europe of the mother of the bridegroom-to-be. Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, the refitting of tCo famous yacht Noma and announce ment of the wedding so shortly before the date set today are concentrating the attention of society folk upon the young couple. Through the winter there was much mystery about their plans. Many hint- ed at a secret wedding. It was thought the Noma was to be used for a mys- terious purpose. This idea was fostered largely by the gdmple tastes of the young couple. The bridetobe has extracted from her be- trothed a promise that they will spend most of their lives on the beautiful banks of the Hudson, where she was brought up and where Astor's 5,000- cre Ferncliffe estate lies. She is not unsociable, nor at all ignorant of ball- rooms, theaters and "doings," but she mrse not a whit for the formal side of society. The wedding will be a country cere- many, either at Hopeland House, the mansion on the Huntington estate, or in the little country church nearby. Young Astor has not been very well this winter. He has suffered from pneumonia and bronchitis. It will be remembered that his mother almost despalred of his life at the age of eight, when she hurried him off to St, Morits. From the life Miss Huntington has ed so far it is to be expected that she sad her husband will spend much time Is the open. The tall, blonde girl of twenty was brought up almost entire ly on the big Huntington and Dinsmore plahes along the Hudson, which were eaee held by her grandfather, William a Dinsmors, late president of the Adams Express company. She went to school in Dobbs Ferry, which isn't a peat distance from her home, and she bas spent some winters in New York ity. Her first quarrel with Vincent came at the age of nine-he being then eleven. She had planted an oak tree, whes three years old, with the aid of bher grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert P. Huntington. The tree had grown Sr six years and she proudly took her ittle visitor from "up the road" out to Isuk at it. Astor remarked, with a wkleal eye, it would take some years Ir the tree to be big enough to climb Is.

Meanwhile Astor is working hard to make money to get married, like any other young man. He has run up three Or four new apartment houses, several loft buildings of fine character and a unique bachelor chambers enterprise just off Times square, which is mod- eled after the famous Albany of Lon- don. He gets down to business in the Astor estate offices at No. 23 West Twenty-sixth street regularly at half- past nine or ten o'clock every morn- ing, and he stays there until what is to be done is done. When it is neces- sary he is to be found there evenings also, although the Astor money-mak- ing machine is running very smoothly under his direction and that of the Vincent Astor. able counselors he inherited from his father. If the tale bearers are to be believed Miss Huntington isn't wasting her pen- nies these days, despite the fact that her family has been in the millionaire class many decades. It is related that she came out of the Carlton House re- cently and walked Forty-seventh street toward Fifth avenue. She was gowned for a fashionable wedding she was to attend that afternoon, but first she was going to visit her fiance. Just then laid up with a cold.

CURES PARALYSIS BY KNIFE Noted Gotham Surgeon Shows Many Child Cripples He Has Helped. New York.-A new operative treat- ment for spastic paralysis, or paralysis accompanied by pasmsa, which he de- clared had been successful, was ex- plained here by Dr. William Sharpe at a meeting of the Medical Association of Greater New York. A dozen children, one paralysed mon one os+ both sides, attended to show what Doctor Sharpe had done for them. The pride of the little ones, as they showed how they were able to move once useless limbs, brought smiles to the medical men. Doctor Sharpe's operation for the disease, which is a result of brain pressure, due to cortical hemorrhage. consists in decompression by direct operation on the skull, with removal of enough bone to give new brain room. Other methods have been de- voted mainly to operations on the spinal nerve roots, the injection of alcohol, or plastic surgery, such as the lengthening of tendons. A girl of four years, who never had walked up to the time of an operation a month ago, was able to toddle through the hall, led by the surgeon. Dr. Wllliam M. Lesyansky, In dis- cussing Doctor Sharpe's report, said he feared improvement would be only temporary, as in some other treat- ments of the disease. Women's Club Has Smoking Room.

DRESSING YOUNG GIRL HER CLOTHES ALWAYS 8OME. THING OF A PROLELM. Wise Mother, at This Stage of Her Daughter's Life, Will Provide Pretty Thinge and Teach Her to Take Care of Them. There is no period in a girl's life when it is so dialcult to dress her successfully as between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, and though the problem of finding suitable clothes is one that faces all mothers of grow- ing daughters, one seldom finds any very wide selection of ready-made gar- ments suited to t..- purpose. In choosing frocks, a great deal de- pends on the girl herself, for it is no good buying dainty attire for the young person who considers the care of gowns and hats a perfectly unneces- sary waste of time. Miss Sixteen, with opinions of this kind, needs a certain amount of training before any respect for her garments can be instilled ef- fectively, and though the majority of girls today are as anxious to be as well turned out as their grown-up sis- ters, the tomboy malde still remains. and the difficulties of clothing her ao- cordingly. "I have often heard," said a mother recently, "that rough and serviceable materials, serge and holland in dark colors, and such like, are all that should be used in a schoolgirl's outfit, but this is, I think, a great mistake. No girl will ever learn to value her things and take a pride in her appear- ance If only supplied with garments of a workmanlike but ugly type. An occasional pretty gown, a becoming hat, soft solors, and light materials will, by their very charm, teach her better than a hundred wordy sermons the necessity for care where her pos- sessions are concerned." This being the case, it is wisest to exercise great care in choosing a girl's clothes, and what is more, she should be allowed to make her own sugges- tions and have her individual ideas carried out as far as they are com- patible with good taste and common sense. Mothers who do this are lay- ing the foundations of a practical knowledge in the details of dress and expenditure that will prove invaluable in after years. LARGE TRAY ALWAYS BEST Of Much More Importance Than the Table When One Is Serving the Afternoon Tea. The woman who lives in a small apartment finds the large tray and small table the best solution of her afternoon tea problem. When every inch of space counts in the appear- ance of a room, a daintily equipped tea table constantly in view rather "clut- ters" up things--as the New England housekeeper would put it. But a gen- erously roomy tea tray, accommodat- ing teapot and cosy Jugs for cream, sugar and hot water, several cups and saucers and plate of cake and sand- wiches or the thin bread and butter which is so delicious at tea hour, may be carried in and set down on a tabou- ret, small folding table, or even the piano stool at a pinch. If one does not possess a handsome hammered brass tea tray or one of the SLEEVES FOR VARIOUS GOWNS Not Much Latitude Is Allowed, But De- signers Have in Instances Varied Their Offerings. Though the sleeves in modish gowns aure so alike that they grow monoto- nous. tbe designers do depart occasion- ally from the stereotyped and vary their offerings. A group of sleeves for several different styles of frocks is shown here. On the upper right iq a sleeve designed for cotton blouse or morning dress; the one on the upper WOMEN AS PUBLIC SPEAKERS Toastmaster of Experience Marvels at the Ease Shown When They Address Public Gatherings A toastmaster recently .declared that. after many years' experience, he never remembered an instance of a speaker admitting that he was a flu- ent orator, most men, as a matter of fact, apologizing for their lack of abil- Ity In this direction. Women. who are comparatively fresh to the "platform," do not seem to be overtaken by the nervousness or to display the false modesty of men. Nowadays women have many opportunities of public speaking. Peo- pie regard it uas a matter of course when a woman rises to speak at any kinG of gathering, and it is very rare indeed that one who does speaks haltingly or makes any preliminary excuse for herself. Perhaps only those who are asure of themselves do speak, but it is quite remarkable that one rarely hears a Inlaid mahogany, a bamboo Japanese tray will answer very well. It should be furnished with a large teacloth and small napkins to match, of drawn- work or hand embroidered linen. It is the daintiness of the tea serv- ice and the delicious character of tea and cakes that makes most impression on a guest; the table really counts for little. Admirable for the small room are nested tables of mahogany. The table reserved for the tea tray, when not in use can be tucked under an- other table holding a vase and a photo graph or other bit of bric-a-brac. WITH DESIGN OF SPIDER WEB Pretty Little Pincushion That Is So•e- thing Just a Little Out of the Ordinary. Novel ideas for making pretty pin- cushions are diffcult to obtain, but in our sketch we show something quite new in the shape of a quaint little cushion made to represent a spider's web. It can be carried out in any size to suit different requirements; and in making it, in the first place a circular piece of stiff cardboard must be cut out. This card is well padded with cotton wool on that side which is to be the front, and the wool should be arranged so that it is much thicker in the center than at the sides. It is then covered with cream-colored satin, the material being stretched tightly over the wool and fastened on at the back of the card with a strong ad- hesive. The spider's web is worked upon the material with gold thread. and this should of course be done prior to covering the card. The cush- ion Is finished off all round the edge with a gold silk cord carried into three loops at the top, and by the center loop it can be suspended from a nail in the wall. To complete this very novel cushion one of those little paper Japanese spiders can be pro- cured and tacked upon one side as suggested in the sketch. Quaint little novelties always at- tract attention at a basar, and a num- ber of these cushions made in differ- ent sizes will look very pretty on a stall and should command a ready sale. This cushion could, of course, be used equally well laid fiat upon the dresstng-table if preferred.-Young Ladies' Journal. Unveiled Vellings. Veils that have long beea velled from the public eye are returaing, say the fashion authorities. Over in Paris they are assuming the nose veil and here in America we have been show- ing a number of new vellingp which make wide use of the chenille dot- long banished from the list of things tolerated. left for a coat suit of cloth or silk. The center sleeve is suitable for an infor- mal evening or dinner gown, while the two lower sleeves are intended for dancing frocks of silk and lace The one on the left is particularly suitable for a young girl's frock. CORSET IS OF IMPORTANCE Fashionable Outline Makes It Impera- tive That a Good Deal of Atten- tion Be Accorded It Although waists are things of the past, let no one imagine that the cor- set is no longer a necessity or is in any way a negligible quantity. Par from it. It is a modern paradox that in order to attain the natural figure greater attention than ever must be paid to the corset. These wonderful nearly straight lines from the arm to the hips, or rather to the knees, for the new corsets reach to Just above the knees, are due more to the art of the corsetlere than to any dietary or exercise. The latest thing in corsete is very lightly boned, and has mo bones at all over the hips. It is made in most instances of tricot, either in a cotton or silk mesh, and is extremely supple and comfortable to wear, fitting without a wrinkle. Their variety is in- finite. There are special models for athletic wear, for riding and dancings, very thin grceoful ones for evening wear under draperles, and a more stardy kind for general wear under tallor-mades. With tlie coming fuash- ions the choice of the corset will be an affair of the greatest lmportance, for on it much of their gracefulnees will depend. really dull or positively poor speech from feminine lips. New Hat Bow. A novel bow for the tailored spring hat-which nowadays blooms in mid- winter-is the sole trimming needed since it practically covers any of the small new shapes. It is made of three-inch broad and very heavy rib- bon, fashioned into four seven-inch- long loops that start under a common knot This knot is placed exactly at the center of the crown, and from It the loops are drawn respectively to ward the edge of the brim at back, front and sieldes. They do not Hlie filat- ly, but stand partly on edge in the perky little manner which is difficult to achieve unless one possesses the milllner's touch.

There are cases, how- ever, where it is a good plan to keep up the feed ration otr a few weeks after the cows go to grass. Take it where cows are thin in flesh when they are turned away.

The geographical location and the climatic conditions of the South are such as to make it a good section for cattle raising. The soils are so va- rled that what may be said in a gen- eral way will not hold true for all places or sections of this large, area They vary from light sand to heavy clay, or to the black prairie soils, or the stiff post-oak. As a rule the stlf.t for the soil and the greater the content of lime in the soils, the more nutri- tious the grasses are, and the greater is the variety of clovers which will grow.

The Shorthorn is more popular than any other breed In this region. and they do exceedingly well. The grazing plants are hlely blue grass, white clover, red clover, red top and orchard grass. The cattle hfatten very rapidly during the grazing season and raise excellent ealves. Most of this region is free of ticks and the losses from death are relatively small. The black prairie section of Ala- bama, Mississippi and Texas, and the Delta lands of Mississippi p"d Louis- iana, are extremely favorable sections for raising and finishng beef cattle. Experiments conducted by the bureau of animal industry and the Alabama experiment station show that cattle when kept free of the cattle tick, can be raised at a cost of 8 to 4 cents a pound. This cost includes the keep of the cows for one year. .charges for puasture and all feeds consumed at market prices, depreciation In the value of the herd, and 6 per cent In- terest on the money invested. The principal native grasses which are 10- digenous to these soils are bermuda, Johnson grass, lespedesa and melilo- tus; but red clover, alike clover, bar clover and white clover grow readily when planted In the pastures, and the grazing season can be extended great- ly by their use. Alfalfa, soy beans. cowpeas, corn, sorghum and other forage crops do well on these lands and produce an abundance of rough- age and hays for wintering and fatten- ing the cattle. The red clay soils pro- duce crops very similar to those men- tioned for the prairie soils. There are great areas of "cut-over" lands in the South that range in price from $2 to $10 per acre. which could be used for beef production. The soil of such lands is usually sandy or post-oak neither of which are as good for grazing as the prairie or delta lands, but which would furnish good grazing if a little care was taken in getting pasture plants started. On these soils carpet grass. bermuda, les- pedesa, white clover, red top. pas- palum dilatatum, and bur clover do exceedingly well. The carpet grass furnishes abundant grazing on the sandy I-nds while the bermuda does better on the soils which are a little stiff. ' The paspalum. white clover. and red top do well on the damp lands. and if some lime is present alsltke clover will furnish fine grazing.

One of the greatest drawbacks to the cattle industry of the south has been the 'presence of the cattle tick that transmits Texas fever, which kills many of the cattle and stunts others in growth. The tick is rapidly being eradicated, and it is only a question o( time until the South is freed of this pest. The native cattle of the South are cold-blooded scrubs carrying a varo ble percentage of Jersey blood. They are small in size and inferior in qual- ity, but they have stamina and the cows produce good talves when bred to a beef bull. Some of these cows weighing not over 600 pounds have given birth to half breed calves which have developed into 600 to 600-pound aninjals at 12 to 1i qMonths of age.

New York.-On the last day of Aprila most notable society event will takeplace up the Hudson-the marriage ofthe head of one of the greatest Amerl-ean houses, Vincent Astor, and HelenDinsmore Huntington, daughter of an-other line which has long been promi-sent in American affairs.
The recent arrival from Europe ofthe mother of the bridegroom-to-be.Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, the refitting oftCo famous yacht Noma and announcement of the wedding so shortly beforethe date set today are concentratingthe attention of society folk upon theyoung couple.
Through the winter there was muchmystery about their plans. Many hint-ed at a secret wedding. It was thoughtthe Noma was to be used for a mys-terious purpose.
This idea was fostered largely by thegdmple tastes of the young couple. Thebridetobe has extracted from her be-trothed a promise that they will spendmost of their lives on the beautifulbanks of the Hudson, where she wasbrought up and where Astor's 5,000-
cre Ferncliffe estate lies. She is notunsociable, nor at all ignorant of ball-rooms, theaters and "doings," but shemrse not a whit for the formal side ofsociety.
The wedding will be a country cere-many, either at Hopeland House, themansion on the Huntington estate, orin the little country church nearby.
Young Astor has not been very wellthis winter. He has suffered frompneumonia and bronchitis. It will beremembered that his mother almostdespalred of his life at the ageof eight, when she hurried him off toSt, Morits.

She went toschool in Dobbs Ferry, which isn't apeat distance from her home, and shebas spent some winters in New Yorkity.
Her first quarrel with Vincent cameat the age of nine-he being theneleven. She had planted an oak tree,whes three years old, with the aid ofbher grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Rob-ert P. Huntington. The tree had grownSr six years and she proudly took her

DRESSING YOUNG GIRLHER CLOTHES ALWAYS 8OME.
THING OF A PROLELM.
Wise Mother, at This Stage of HerDaughter's Life, Will Provide
Pretty Thinge and Teach Herto Take Care of Them.
There is no period in a girl's lifewhen it is so dialcult to dress hersuccessfully as between the ages offourteen and seventeen, and thoughthe problem of finding suitable clothesis one that faces all mothers of grow-ing daughters, one seldom finds anyvery wide selection of ready-made gar-ments suited to t..- purpose.
In choosing frocks, a great deal de-pends on the girl herself, for it is nogood buying dainty attire for theyoung person who considers the careof gowns and hats a perfectly unneces-sary waste of time. Miss Sixteen, withopinions of this kind, needs a certainamount of training before any respectfor her garments can be instilled ef-fectively, and though the majority ofgirls today are as anxious to be aswell turned out as their grown-up sis-ters, the tomboy malde still remains.and the difficulties of clothing her ao-cordingly.
"I have often heard," said a motherrecently, "that rough and serviceablematerials, serge and holland in darkcolors, and such like, are all thatshould be used in a schoolgirl's outfit,but this is, I think, a great mistake.No girl will ever learn to value herthings and take a pride in her appear-ance If only supplied with garmentsof a workmanlike but ugly type. Anoccasional pretty gown, a becominghat, soft solors, and light materialswill, by their very charm, teach herbetter than a hundred wordy sermonsthe necessity for care where her pos-sessions are concerned."
This being the case, it is wisest toexercise great care in choosing a girl'sclothes, and what is more, she shouldbe allowed to make her own sugges-tions and have her individual ideascarried out as far as they are com-patible with good taste and commonsense. Mothers who do this are lay-ing the foundations of a practicalknowledge in the details of dress andexpenditure that will prove invaluablein after years.
LARGE TRAY ALWAYS BESTOf Much More Importance Than the
Table When One Is Serving theAfternoon Tea.
The woman who lives in a smallapartment finds the large tray andsmall table the best solution of herafternoon tea problem. When everyinch of space counts in the appear-ance of a room, a daintily equipped teatable constantly in view rather "clut-ters" up things--as the New Englandhousekeeper would put it. But a gen-erously roomy tea tray, accommodat-ing teapot and cosy Jugs for cream,sugar and hot water, several cups andsaucers and plate of cake and sand-wiches or the thin bread and butterwhich is so delicious at tea hour, maybe carried in and set down on a tabou-ret, small folding table, or even thepiano stool at a pinch.

WITH DESIGN OF SPIDER WEB
Pretty Little Pincushion That Is So•e-thing Just a Little Out of
the Ordinary.
Novel ideas for making pretty pin-cushions are diffcult to obtain, but inour sketch we show something quitenew in the shape of a quaint littlecushion made to represent a spider'sweb. It can be carried out in anysize to suit different requirements;and in making it, in the first place acircular piece of stiff cardboard mustbe cut out. This card is well paddedwith cotton wool on that side whichis to be the front, and the wool shouldbe arranged so that it is much thickerin the center than at the sides. It isthen covered with cream-colored satin,
the material being stretched tightlyover the wool and fastened on at theback of the card with a strong ad-hesive. The spider's web is workedupon the material with gold thread.and this should of course be doneprior to covering the card. The cush-ion Is finished off all round the edgewith a gold silk cord carried intothree loops at the top, and by thecenter loop it can be suspended froma nail in the wall. To complete thisvery novel cushion one of those littlepaper Japanese spiders can be pro-cured and tacked upon one side assuggested in the sketch.
Quaint little novelties always at-tract attention at a basar, and a num-ber of these cushions made in differ-ent sizes will look very pretty on astall and should command a readysale.
This cushion could, of course, beused equally well laid fiat upon thedresstng-table if preferred.-YoungLadies' Journal.

CORSET IS OF IMPORTANCE
Fashionable Outline Makes It Impera-tive That a Good Deal of Atten-

Although waists are things of thepast, let no one imagine that the cor-set is no longer a necessity or is inany way a negligible quantity. Parfrom it. It is a modern paradox thatin order to attain the natural figuregreater attention than ever must bepaid to the corset. These wonderfulnearly straight lines from the arm tothe hips, or rather to the knees, forthe new corsets reach to Just abovethe knees, are due more to the art ofthe corsetlere than to any dietary orexercise. The latest thing in corseteis very lightly boned, and has mobones at all over the hips. It is madein most instances of tricot, either in acotton or silk mesh, and is extremelysupple and comfortable to wear, fittingwithout a wrinkle. Their variety is in-finite. There are special models forathletic wear, for riding and dancings,very thin grceoful ones for eveningwear under draperles, and a morestardy kind for general wear undertallor-mades. With tlie coming fuash-ions the choice of the corset will be anaffair of the greatest lmportance, foron it much of their gracefulnees willdepend.

RAISING BEEF CATTLE
SOUTHERN STATES ARE WELLADAPTED TO THE INDUSTRY.
Great Areas of "Cut-Over" Lands atPrices Ranging From 02 to $10
Per Acre Avallable- TickNearly Eradicated.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-meat of Agriculture.)
The geographical location and theclimatic conditions of the South aresuch as to make it a good section forcattle raising. The soils are so va-rled that what may be said in a gen-eral way will not hold true for allplaces or sections of this large, areaThey vary from light sand to heavyclay, or to the black prairie soils, orthe stiff post-oak. As a rule the stlf.tfor the soil and the greater the contentof lime in the soils, the more nutri-tious the grasses are, and the greateris the variety of clovers which willgrow.
The Piedmont section of Virginia.West Virginia, Westep~ North Caro-tina, Tennessee and northern Alabamas a fine grazing country, and thous-
ands of good beef cattle are foundthere. The Shorthorn is more popularthan any other breed In this region.and they do exceedingly well. Thegrazing plants are hlely blue grass,white clover, red clover, red top andorchard grass. The cattle hfatten veryrapidly during the grazing season andraise excellent ealves. Most of thisregion is free of ticks and the lossesfrom death are relatively small.
The black prairie section of Ala-bama, Mississippi and Texas, and theDelta lands of Mississippi p"d Louis-iana, are extremely favorable sectionsfor raising and finishng beef cattle.Experiments conducted by the bureauof animal industry and the Alabamaexperiment station show that cattlewhen kept free of the cattle tick, canbe raised at a cost of 8 to 4 cents apound. This cost includes the keep ofthe cows for one year. .charges forpuasture and all feeds consumed atmarket prices, depreciation In thevalue of the herd, and 6 per cent In-terest on the money invested. Theprincipal native grasses which are 10-digenous to these soils are bermuda,Johnson grass, lespedesa and melilo-tus; but red clover, alike clover, barclover and white clover grow readilywhen planted In the pastures, and thegrazing season can be extended great-ly by their use. Alfalfa, soy beans.cowpeas, corn, sorghum and otherforage crops do well on these landsand produce an abundance of rough-age and hays for wintering and fatten-ing the cattle. The red clay soils pro-duce crops very similar to those men-tioned for the prairie soils.
There are great areas of "cut-over"lands in the South that range in pricefrom $2 to $10 per acre. which couldbe used for beef production. The soilof such lands is usually sandy orpost-oak neither of which are as goodfor grazing as the prairie or deltalands, but which would furnish goodgrazing if a little care was taken ingetting pasture plants started. Onthese soils carpet grass. bermuda, les-pedesa, white clover, red top. pas-palum dilatatum, and bur clover doexceedingly well. The carpet grassfurnishes abundant grazing on thesandy I-nds while the bermuda doesbetter on the soils which are a littlestiff.

One of the greatest drawbacks tothe cattle industry of the south hasbeen the 'presence of the cattle tickthat transmits Texas fever, which killsmany of the cattle and stunts othersin growth. The tick is rapidly beingeradicated, and it is only a question o(time until the South is freed of thispest.
The native cattle of the South arecold-blooded scrubs carrying a varoble percentage of Jersey blood. Theyare small in size and inferior in qual-ity, but they have stamina and thecows produce good talves when bredto a beef bull. Some of these cowsweighing not over 600 pounds havegiven birth to half breed calves whichhave developed into 600 to 600-poundaninjals at 12 to 1i qMonths of age.They usually weigh about 800 to 8spounds at two years of age whamraised under arerage southern tareconditions.

The cows usually prove to be very good milkers, giv-ing milk enough for the calf and tosupply the home as well.
