The slashes are, bound with 'ribbon, which may be In' :a light color. A niching hemmed at, the edges and gathered 'on itwo shir-' ring threads is festoonod onitho skirt, midway of Its 'length. A soft underbodlce, with elbow sleeves, is made of chiffon and fin ished with a wide V-shaped oponing at the .front and back of tho neok.

In truth, It is clev erer than over, but rarely deserves tho name of a bouquet. Single flowers, or a flower aud bud, made of ribbon or velvet set in millinery foliage, or largo millinery flowers with ribbon In the same color as their foliage tied about the stems, make up- tho big majority of these exquisito accessories. Tho dark colors that aro favored this season, and tho furoro for furs, mako it possible for tho corsago (low er to appear at Its best. In street and visiting toIlcttoB they form ex actly tho right background for It. And tho corsago bouquet Ib as much at homo with ovenlng dross as nat ural flowers aro. The now "vanity corsago" or "van ity flower," is shown in tho group of blossoms pictured hero. It includes two roses, made of ribbon set In mil linery foliage, and a conventional dahlia, with maidenhair fern and roso foliage. Tho fourth flower Ib not meant for tho corsage, but is set on tho dressing table. It is a beautiful receptaclo for ono of the small fem inine vanities, for each ot these flow contrasting in color. A pretty model 'has :a foundation fikfrt 'Of white net finished at the bottom with a scant iruflle of white net 'bound with narrow white satin ribbon. Above this Is a flounce of light blue bound with blue ribbon. A flounce of pink overlaps tho 'blue, and one of pale yellow fin ises the series. Three .groups of flounces, with the colors arranged in this order, cover the skirt, and the waist employs tho colored nets as a drapery over the white net In an un derbodico. Another 'model .in colored uots lifts a flhort and widely flaring skirt in which rose color and black and tan itullo are used with white. The dif ferent colors nro set about the walBt and cxtond to the bottom of the skirt In godets, with colors alternating. The bodice is drapod, and a wide girdle of rich ibrocadod ribbon coinplotes the design. Its colors carry out tho won. derful color schemo In the gown. Besides the use 'of several colors in one gown, designers of dance frocks have achieved some lovely flowerllko effects by -uniting Utreo shades of one .color in silk gowiiH. A coral-colored taffeta has a full short skirt with wide ruchings .nt tho 'bottom in two deeper shades of coral.

Tho total crop will amount to 228, 094,736 bushels, according to tho care fully reported figures gathered by tho board.Tho only record that approach os that is that of 1910, when tho to tal was 178,923,128 bushels. Figured nt 50 cents a bushel the crop this year will be worth $114,047, 3GS. Of the acreage of 6,990,331, Custer county leads all other counties with a total acreage of 240,828.

A weakened arch at the west end of tho state houoe basement, Btono walla and steps scalng at tho south entrance, an east wing that 13 sinking more than In the past, a wa ter and steam system that gives trou ble at every opportunity and walls and stairs that crack and crumble when big crowds 01' visitors call these are some of the very apparent defects of the pile of stone Nebrasku people term their "capltol." The defects were called to tho at lion of the Janttorlal force recently in no unmlstaklng terms. When ( a crowd of 25 school children , were going through the building, tho ceil ings and walls along all U10 stairways showed cracks which had been caused by their tramping up and down fitalrs. The 3talrs shook more than they have In some time past, as another result of that visit. Tho basement arch threatens to go down at any time. Efforts aro being made to prop it up, but there is no guaranty that these 'will prove avail ing. Visitors who drop in for calls mean while continue to indorse the idea of a. new capltol building. Some of tho most frugal men of the state aro in cluded In the list, too. If something Ib not done pretty soon, in tho opinion of some stato of ficials, the state may be called upon to pay heavy damages to thq families of those who somo day may be burled In the ruins of the shaky old building.
