And "vlBttlng gown" Is to bo construed oh mooning o gown In which to call or to recolvo calls. Tho dcop, clear slmdoa of bluo "truo bluo" aro bocomlng to ovory complexion. A stunning afternoon gown is shown lioro from a French designer who hoops to conservative nnd roflnod styloB. It Is cleverly planned to add tho effect of Blenderncsa nnd height to tho figure. Tho waist lino at tho back Is normal and a downward din f tho bolt at tho front makes tho waist look small. Tho drapory in tho skirt is placed very low and tho materlnl hangs with tout fulness over tho hips. All tho fcharp curvos which characterize tho jstout figuro nro softened In this model. Tho two graduated and Bhnpcd llouncca aro splendidly offectlvo for Khls purposo nnd alsa tako tho plnco of the much-udmlrod Tunio. Tho bodico ia slightly blouBed and vnry plain, as It should bo to carry olf tho vost of handsomo brocade. This vest Is tho featuro of tho gown 'and Is to bo moro or loss gorgeousN mot too tamo In any enso. Tor a bit of real flnory, a touch of Bplcudor, is Two Views of a NOTHING moro unusual thau our old and honored frlond hi straw, tho leghorn lint. Is employed In mak ing tills piece, of real millinery, In which exuulstto design Is matchod with oxqulslto workmanship. An unusually clovor milliner might ovalvo almost au exact copy of this lint from ono of those lino old-fashioned leghorn "flats" which wo. havo nl wayB known. Suo would have to sub stitute a capllko crown of rica not or itjuckramotto for tho original crown, jcut away an Inch and a. Unit from tho icdgo, nnd ubo tho cutaway strip for bordering tho undorbrlm and mount ito brim on tho crown with tho re quired extra hoadHlzo not cut out at tho front and right sldo. Preparing a Hhapo In this way Is not nu oasy ntattor, hut the shapo onco obtained Is easy enough to trim.

A double frill of narrow laco, extends from tho dainty turnover collar, which it edges, to tho waistline. Tliero is a plain turnover collar of tho fnbrlc; It 1b rtotlceablo that tho collnro aro not wired and daring, which is so much tho voguo Just now, becauBo, for tho stout wom an, this style Is hotter followed "In tho breacli than tho observance." Tho skirt, drawn in about tho feet; by the drapery, Is cut BUlIlciontly wldo, for a froo stop. Tho llouncos havo a, hemstitch finish at tho edges, Tho close-fitting tall turban worn with tills gown foreshadows the modus' of fall and ia worth studying. Tho shnpo Is vory graceful and very simply' trimmed. It ia of bright-finished straw,, trlmmod with narrow moire ribbon,! with n brush of fancy feathors Btnnd-' lng up at tho back. It looks like, or rather It suggests, tho glengarry, cap in offect. Tho ribbon Is tied In small, llat double bows at tho front, bnck and sidos, which Ho flat to the coronet.' Tho "brush" la finished with a tuft of feathors which conceal Its fasten ing to tho hat. Such a turban adds, longth to tho figuro of Its wearer. A gown of this character Is vory ubo ful, being suited to almost any affair that calls for dress that Is somewhat formal. Superb Dress Hat A vory wide molro ribbon In nnttlor bluo Is sowed about tho brim edge, au.l at tho crown lino. From thoro It Is brought over tho bandeau and turned under tho odgo. The fulnoaa la disposed of by gathering tho ribbon In jit tho crown lino nnd at tho edgo. It dlBposoa ItBelf In sennt Irregular, folds whon sowed down to tho lint. After tho ribbon is plncod, n bund of loghorn (or other braid) la sowod about tho odgo of tho underbrlm, form ing h border to tho facing. Tho top of tho hat la covered with a wldo clmntllly lnco In cronm whlto, which oxtenda from tho conter crown to tho edgo of tho brim. A snBh of ribbon with n cluster of small chrysanthemums mako the pret tiest of trimmings for tho top of tho hat. Tho upward curvo or tho brim nt tho loft forma tho tmtural resting place for a full bow of ribbon with onda hanging ovoi tho Jialr. For a youthful faco n hat of this kind forms n bewitching background. JULIA fJOTTOMLEY. Gather the eggs often. Grado all farm products, Charcoal Is good for poultry. Sweet clover enriches tho soil. Tho Bharpor your hoe the shortor tho row. Never ubo blindors on tho horse; It Is a cruel practise. Cultlvato tho Bprlngset strawberry bed regularly and often. Tigs In clover is an Ideal condition. A good alfalfa pnsturo moots the same end. Toe-mark tho chicks aa soon as they aro hatched. This enables one to tell their ngea later. GIvo plants In tho garden n chnnco toWrow. Plenty of room and fertility la what Ib needed. Eggs cannot be produced without nitrogenous food in boiiio shapo. Bones are absolutely essential. Unborn llco In nits nro not reached by Insecticides, nonce this may bo tho reason why so many fall. Don't Judge tho hen by her appear ance. Ofttlmes -tho best-looking hen In the flock is tho poorest layer. Do not sot out fresh strawberry plants next spring In n bed that was occupied by tho old plants this year. Thin tho fruit If it needs It. Thin ning Is better than props under limbs bettor for your purso and for the trees. , When tho green corn comes along a Ilttlo later do not stuff young pigs nil they will cat or thumps will be tho result. ' One of the moat hopeful Bigna for shcop-ralslng Is tho formation of state "and district organizations to lmprovo tho breeds. In thinning beets the extin ones need not he thrown awny. If set out In flno soil nnd thoroughly watered they will grow well. If cows aro kept in tho stable and fed groen food tho doors and windows should bo scrccnod, and tho stable nnd yurd kept vory clean. e Hownro of too many Bide lines. It Is nil right to be a general farmer, but be sure nnd do not bproad out too much. Know your capacity. Pick every vegetnblo as it matures. If pons, beans, etc., nro allowed to hang on the stalk and go to seed tho plant will at onco deteriorate. It pays bottor to milk n four-gallon cow and sell her when dry for two cents a pound than to milk a two-gallon cow nnd Hell her for four cents n. pound. Tho manuro spreader la ono of tho most Important tools on tho farm, not only because It saves labor, but bo causo It spreads tho mnnuro over moro land. In thoso latitudes whero It Is pos sible to grow rapo It will pay to plnnt n Hold to this crop, ns It Is mticli cheaper than meal or giound feed dur ing tho summer. If collar boils havo troubled tho horses In tho poet do not expect to cscapo thorn this senson.

Tho drier tho season the oftcnor the trees need cultivation. It is much easier to prevent diseases among tho stock than to cure. Feed tho brood mares when nursing their colts with feeds that produce milk. Examine tho horso's feet when he comes in, and wash them If ho does not wear pads. Ono of tho advantages of swlne hus bandry la that It gives quick nnd re munerative returns. Tho duck cornea nearer perpetual motion than anything on tho farm not excepting tho boys. . When your hogs nro growing fast and their hind legs becomo wenk, feed thorn a little bono meal dally. When n ewe Is six years old past, it Is best to fatten her, unless sho Is a most unusual breeder nnd mother. Sco that tho collars' fit tho horse. Havo a collar for each animal and do not change from ono to tho another. Keep the colt growing from birth to maturity. Any setback beforo growth la made will tell in dollars and cents. Never chop ort n limb that Is moro than ono inch thick. Use a saw. Al ways leave a smooth surfaco on the stub. A given nmount of corn In the form of silage will produce moro milk than -tho same amount when shocked and dried. By top grnftlng thoso old apple trees In tho spring that unprofitable orchard will become a paying foaturo In three years. Tho folly of keeping low-producing cows should be so apparent that such cows would bo shunned as thieves and robbers. Charcoal is good for poultry, having .jv,healthful Influence over the wholo system. They will eat much of It when placed In reach. Some plants ennnot bo thoroughly wecdod with tho hoe. In these cases ovory weed should bo carefully plucked out by band. Thero n an Indescribable feeling whon you touch tho skin of a high class feeding steer, thnt, once recog nized, Is never forgotten. , Economical gains In feeding grow ing pigs may bo obtained by feeding ono pound of corn meal with ono nnd a half pounds of sklm-mllk. In trnnsplanllrig plants It Is much better to fill tho holo aftor tho plant Is sot, the soil added gradually, thnn to water aftor tho hole Is filled. Bo mighty caroful to 6eo that your setting hen Is not-overcome with lice. In -producing louso-free chicks tho In cubator certainly has it on the hen. Havo a feeding trough for tho hogs where they can get independent of tho mother. It teaches them to cat and prevontB shrinkage during weaning. A vnrlety of food Is necessary for tho best results In feeding all kinds of poultry and It la also cheapest because- it produces more profitable re- BtlltB. It is uaelesa to try to grow vege tables upon ground that is poorly drained. For this reason a clay loam with n goodly portion of sand Is to bo desired. Complete, well-balanced fertilizers are recommended for fruit. Itank ma nure should not bo used ns ft pro-, duceB a growth of wood at tho ex-' ponso of fruit. All fruits will cucceed well on land thnt produces honvy crops of corn nnd potntoes. Tho vory boat, not tho poor est, ground ehould bo utilized for tho fruit plantings. The old method of spreading mn nuro from enrt or wngon la out of dnto It tnkes too much time, tho mnnuro la not spread evenly nor can it bo made ns flno ob it should be. A calf Intended for early bnby beef, given all tho grain ho wants and weighing 400 to GOO pounds at six inontha, will consume per day npproxl matoly flvo poundB of corn, two pound?! of oats nnd one-half pound of oil 'moal. Both hens and chicks must havo shade; hi fact, tho summer-hatched chick must bo given extra good Bhndo tho first weok or two of Its Hfo or It will dlo of the "sun sickness."

So he attended tho service and listened, with much Interest and cdi-' flcntlon to a sermon on tho text, "Peter's wlfo's mother lay sick of a fever." "'That afternoon, being advised to go to another church, famous for lta decorations, ho found his preacher of tho morning occupying the pulpit, nnd. again heard his sermon from tho text, "Peter's wife's mother lay sick of a; fever." Though tempted to leave, ho stuck It out j " 'That evening, as he strolled up tho street In search of moro frivolous entertainment, he was caught In a crowd pushing Into a great edifice.
