IF thero Is one artlclo of clothing I
upon which tho manufacturers may I
depend for a long, long profit, moro
than upon any other, it is the fancy
waist made of lace, chiffon, net. silk,
embroidery or any other of tho pret
ty things which are bo alluring and so
fragile. Tho materials required aro
not in thomsolves very expensive, but
tho finished product, as in the case
of millinery, is so much a matter of
translating fabrics into little poems
of apparel that it is the idea and its
working out that commands tho price.
And tho price is usually something
to cause a gasp like that following a
plunge into cold water. Tho unfeel
ing owner of an exclusive Fifth ave
nue shop mentions anywhere from $15
to $90 in tho most casual and off-hand
way, when ono begins inquiring as
to tho value of three yards of chiffon
and a few bits of other materials
sowed together.
Tho easiest way to make these fancy
waists is first to buy a dressmaker's
form or dummy upon which to drape
tho material. Get ono with tho cor

Simple waists of plain net or of
lace aro to be had In tho department
stores at a very reasonable price,
that is in tho neighborhood of two or
three dollars. Or a foundation waist
may be made a very little cheaper at
homo. But those to bo had In tho
shops aro cut on good and up-to-date
lines. Those- waists make tho best
of foundations on which to drape tho
chiffon or net or laco or other fab
rics which enter into the composition
of fancy waists.
Chiffon veils, in protty colors and
with hem-stitched edges, are easily
used to make drapery for theso waists.
Plain chiffons, embroidered voiles, and
nets, answer tho same purpose. In
tho waist pictured hero voile Is draped
over a foundation waist of laco with
lino effect.
In attempting a fancy waist, It Is
much tho easiest way to select a
waist, or the picture of one, and fol
low out its details.

WHAT TO DO WITH OLD JELLY.

Ideal Rows of Early Ozark Strawberries. The Best Extra Early Strawberry.
Naturo has provided two mothods
whereby tho strawberry may perpotu
nto Its species by mentis of Beed nnd
by means ot runners.
Restricting tho effort of tho plnnts,
put Torth lu this direction, results In
finer fruit. Somo vnrletlcs of plnnts
Bond out largo numbers of runners,
while othor varieties mako but fow.
It is notlccnblo that those varieties
that mako but fow runners either send
up lnrgo numbers of fruit sUma or
olso tho individual specimens of fruit
are exceptionally largo. Tho Parker
Earl has tho first named characteris
tic, whilo tho Marshall and Now York
aro among those varieties making for
largo fruit.
On tho contrary; whero tho habit of
tho plant Impels it to taku an execs
slvo growth of runnors, and tho plants
aro allowed freo cent to this inBtlnct,
individual plants will doom but fow
fruit Ktomjt, often not moro thnn ono,
and tho fruit will usually bo small
and of inforlor quality.
Tho Warilold Is of this class. How
ever, whilo it is truo that tho War
field Is ouo of tho most prolific in tho
matter of propagating Itsolf by moans
of runners, It is equally truo that If
this variety and somo othors of ltB
class bo restricted lu tho effort to
propagato by means of runners, their
creative energy will bo turned into an
other channel.
Grown nfter any o' tho sovoral
hedge-row plans, individual plants will
stool up wonderfully. Thoy will bo
different looking plants entirely.
There Is no secret in getting such re
sults. Tho possession of a littlo knowl
edge) with tho energy necessary to put
tho knowiedgo into practise is all that
is needed.
In hedge-row eulturo It is tho aim to
set tho young plnnts In tho fresh earth
whero thoy nro wanted and whero thoy
will tako root quickly Thero should
