French Idea in a
PLEASING and practical costume
for the tennis court must of
.necessity be plain. As u concession
to present modes a few models are
shown having a short close-fitting tun
ic, but the majority of terinls gowns
uro quite plain as to the skirt. In the
matter of the bodice one may choose
between the middy blouse made of a
fabric like the skirt, the plain silk or
lingerie blouse, or a waist made in
ono with the skirt like that shown
Jn the picture.
White wash fabrics, including many
of the now rough weaves in cotton, af
ford the player a wide choice of cot
ton materials. The coarser weaves In
linen are always dependable for the
.tennis costume. Ratine has proved Its
-worth for this kind of gown. Almost
.no models of other than wash fabrics
are shown.
The picture given here shows a de
parture from all-white in a French ten
uis gown, from Lamaguero, in flannel
f a very light gray color. It has a pin
stripe in red. The plain skirt is in two
pieces joined with an overlapped seam
Types of Hats
TYPES of hats for present wear, as
sot forth in tho picture shown
here, demonstrate tho popularity of
feathers in August millinery. The
Bmall close-fitting turban, made of
whlto feathers with tall upstanding
squills, is tho most fashionable, of late
summer models. Hats similar in
.shape, and even more close fitting,
made of white satin, crepe de chine,
.and black velvet, aro trimmed with
broad bands of white feathors and
finished in nearly every instance with
tall fancy feathers mounted at the
front. These turbans in white are
tho forerunners of feather turbans,
In colors, for early fall.
After the feather turban, all-white
Tiata of felt or frames covered with
fabric and trimmed with wings have
made for themselves tho strongest
iplaco in iopular demand.
Wings of all kinds, bo long as they
aro fairly soft, ono sees mounted In
as great a variety of ways ns there
is variety In tho wings thomselves.
A whlto felt hat with a broad band of
white molro ribbon is shown In tho
picture, with a very affective mount

split at the bottom. This Is provided
with flat buttons and buttonholes on
tho inside of tho skirt, by which tho
slit may bo closed when tho wearer is
not playing.
The blouse is cut with kimono
sleovo and a little fullness over tho
shoulders. The Bleeves are length
ened by a wide strip of tho material,
with stripes running up and down, set
on in the manner of a cuff. The
blouse is finished with a sailor collar
of red satin. Tho sleeves are bordered
with the same material, and it is also
used to furnish tho narrow belt. A
silk scarf, in red, is placed under the
collar and tied in a simple bow at tho
front as a finishing touch.
White canvas slippers, fastened with
narrow straps, and a white felt hat
complete tho pretty toilette. The mod
el can be recommended as to design,
but for real practical use wash fab
rics of cotton or linon are better than
flannel, and white is a better choice
than any color.

Next to tho all-whlto hat the black-and-whlto
is liked for present wear.
In many cases tho crown only is black,
and black velvet is tho material chos

tall crown made of a puff of black
velvet. It is n turban shape with a1
wide coronet of whlto felt. This coro

any of the popular millinery fnbrlcs.

against tho crown along the left sido

SIMPLE REMEDIES
FOR GARDEN PESTS
Cucumber Beetles and Cabbage
Worms Are Among Worst In
sects to Encounter.
Simplo and offcctlvo remedies for
two of tho moBt common nnd de
structive garden pests aro offered by
Prof. L. M. Montgomory of tho Ohio
Collogo of Agriculture. Cucumber
beetles and cabbage worms aro
among tho worst pests tho gaidener

Is a small yellow beetlo with black
stripes runnlilg down Us back. It
causes heavy damago not only to cu
cumbors but to melons and othor vlu
ing plants. Ono part pads greon to
CO to 100 parts of ulr-Blacked llmo Is
a very offcctlvo remedy. This should
bo sifted over tho plants In tho morn
ing when thoy aro covorod with dow.
For tho cabbano worm, ono ounco
nf white hellebore dissolved In two
!. Iliran IrnllnnH nf U'fltdr Is UBOd.
This should bo sprinkled over or
sprayed heavily on tho cabbage. If
somo soap Is added It will add to tho
sticking properties of tho solution.
Tho hellebore may also bo applied In
powdor form, It Is a poison of veg
etable origin, and Its poisonous prop
erties aro lost pn exposure to tho
air fpr two or threo days. ThU
makes It necessary to repeat tho ap
plication on tho plants every fow days.

Favorable Results Obtained by
Practice at Nebraska Ex

At tho Nobraska experiment station

cabbago, tomatoos, beans, cucumbers,
potatoes and sweet potntoos. Tho
yield of each of these crops was ma
terially increased by mulching and'
tho labor requlrod was considerably'
Iobb than in tho case of cultivation'

Mulched cabbage produced Jargon
heads than cultivated cabbago, and
there was less injury from rot. Tho
vigor of tomato plants was decreased
by mulching, but tho yield of fruit in
creased. Tho fruit was also cloaner
and less subject to rot. Mulched, cu
cumbors produced perfect fruit during
dry periods when tho fruit. from tho
