Hand Made Shirtwaists

waist has its front stock and cuffs
embroidered with clusters of pmall
pink roses and in rib
bon embroidery The bunches of
flowers have their leaves and stems
lono in pale dull shades of green
and golden brown The bunches of
flowers are connected by and inter
spersed with little bowknots and loops
and ends of ribbon This ribbon ef
fect Is produced by outlining the sup
posed ribbon with a single gold thread
and working small black dots in em
broidery silk about an eighth of an
inch apart between the gold lines
The effect is that of a dainty and
novel ribbon It is no wider and
probably not as wide as baby rib
bon

smart wraps that are eminently com
fortable as well This one is adapted
to all the range of cloaking materials
but 4s shown in tan colored cloth with
touches of darker velvet and is
stitched with
oelli silk The spe
cial features of the
model are the

and the additional
lapels which are
exceedingly effec
tive When liked
however plain

substituted for the
larger ones as
shown in the small
sketch

dolls head Around its neck a rib
bon Is tied stock fashion
The most popular sachet odors at
present are sandal wood orris and
Japanese perfumes
About Sleeves
The very wide sleeves that are be
ing worn at present undoubtedly tend
to take awaj from the apparent
height of the figure and if you are
rather inclined to be short yourself
you will do wisely to exercise a judi
cious supervision and to forbid your
dressmaker to indulge in any vagaries
either as regards the shape or trim
ming of your sleeves You can still
have something which is quite suffi
ciently fashionable without adding
in an unbecoming way to the width of
your figure

girls and is ex
ceedingly youthful

shoulders and the
fitted back giving
a trimness and
neatness to the fig
ure As shown the
material is
sprigged muslin trimmed with frills of
embroidery but there are countless
others which are equally appropriate

Lunch for Children
Because things to eat do not always
present an attractive appearance their
nourishing quality is not properly ap
preciated
The value of dates for childrens
school luncheons is not fully appreci
ated They are rather sticky bother
some things as they are originally
purchased and chcildren rarely care
for them They should be separated
and washed the stone removed and a
peanut or almond salted preferably
substituted The date is then rolled
in corn starch or powdered sugar and
straightway becomes one of the ap
petizing trifles dear to youth and at
the same time is healthful and nour
ishing
In the Kitchen
Doughnuts or biscuits may be heat
ed amaist as good as new by put
ting them in a whole paper bag
sprinkling in a few drops only of wat
er twisting the ends putting in the
oven raised a little from the bottom
on a grate The oven must be very
hot
New nutmegs may be distinguished
from the last years supply by scrap
ing the surface with the finger If
new the oil will moisten the spot at
once Mace when new is oily It
should always be purchased whole
and ground as needed
A Dainty Work Bag
Such pretty little work bags can be
made on a foundation of basket work
with a piece of dainty silk The little
flat trays to be found in all sizes at
Japanese shops are chosen and the
silk sewed on the inside rim The has
ket is first lined and slightly padded
with satchet if desired The silk is
gathered in bag fashion at the top
making a pretty and substantial recep
tacle for sewing materials or em
broidery
Corset Cover
Shapely corset covers that fit nicely
yet are not over snug are in constant
demand and never can be too numer
ous This one is peculiarly pretty
and attractive is
eminently simple
and can be made
of any of the ma
terials in vogue
for underwear
The model how
ever is of linen
batiste with inser
tion and frills of
embroidery and
bands of beading
The corset cover is cut with fronts
and back which are laid in narrow
tucks to the waist line and is closed
at the center with a box plait in shirt
waist style Over the upper edge and
at the waist line are applied bands of
beading that are threaded with rib
bon by means of which the size is reg
ulated
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is iy2 yards of
insertion three yards of edging and
1V2 yards of beading to trim as illus
trated
Marie Antoinette Bodices
The tendency toward the Marie An
toinette bodice for evening wear is
marked This style is really fascinat
ing with its long pointed waist line
and very full skirt shirred into the
skirt band In white or ivory silk
the mode is ideal and by next autumn
it will be firmly established This
would not appear to admit of any
change in the present full skirts but
would rather tend to increase them if
anything The great dresesmakers
at least seem determined to adhere to
the full modes for some time to come

Save all old zinc and when chim

It is unwise to sprinkle a light car
pet with tea leaves when sweeping
unless they have first been rinsed in
water for otherwise they are apt to
stain
Hose petals make a delightful filling
for soft pillows Save them from with
ered bouquets or from fresh flowers
and dry them They may be treated
as for potpourri or used with their
own delicate perfume only
Never put a bed in an alcove the
air is apt to become stagnant there
Have it right in the room and do not
push it too close to the wall thea
the air that comes in from the win
dow has a chance to circulate around
the bed

Blight of Fruit Trees
It Is quite generally agreed that rap
Idly growing trees are more apt to be
attacked by blight than slower grow
ing ones said Frederic Cranefield in
an address In general terms condi
tions conducive to rapid growth in the
apple and pear are conducive to
blight Heavy manuring and culti
vation both induce a rapid growth and
the new rapidly growing tissues are
the first attacked Old bearing trees
growing in sod land rarely suffer
from twig blight There is but little
new growth on such trees A circu
lar letter was sent to many fruit men
in Wisconsin last year from the sta
tion requesting answers to numerous
questions among them this one Is
the blight more destructive to the
trees that are cultivated or to those
on sod land Ninety eight per cent
of those who answered stated that the
trees on cultivated land suffered most
When you ask for reports on the ex
tent of blight as affecting different
varieties most conflicting answers are
sure to be received According to my
present limited knowledge I doubt if
any variety of apple at least is more
subject to blight than any other Neith
er have I been able to learn that any
variety is immune The same is proba
bly true of pears Any conditions that
induce rapid growth afford condi
tions favorable to the blight bacteria
Remedies This end of the subject
is of the most interest to fruit growers
and unfortunately with our present
knowledge of the disease the one that
can be presented with the least satis
faction However it is generally
agreed that spraying is of no value in
checking blight The organism that
causes the disease works wholly with
in the bark in twig blight at least and
is therefore beyond the reach of
sprays If we treat our orchards so
as to induce an excessive growth we
lay the trees open to attack by blight
while if only a normal growth occurs
they are less likely to be attacked We
can certainly check the disease in any
case by cutting out the blighted twigs
in summer if cut back one or two feet
beyond the visible point of injury The
most valuable work consists in cut
ting out every blighted twig late in
the fall in order to remove any pos
sible cases of hold over blight
Checking Cutworms
In all gardening operations more or
less trouble is experienced from the
attacks of cutworms Sometimes a
good many plants are cut off in a
single night This trouble is made
worse by the use of barnyard manure
which is later found to have con
tained the eggs that hatched into cut
worms The use of this manure can
not be avoided very well At least it
is easier to fight the cutworms than
to disarrange the methods of doing
the garden work The worms gener
ally feed near the top of the ground
and near the moisture line In wet
weather they crawl about from one
plant to the other but during ordinary
weather their attacks are usually de
livered under the surface of the soil
One way of protecting the plants
against the attacks of these worms is
to wrap paper loosely about them at
setting time having the paper reach
at least an inch below the ground
and two inches above The worms do
not seem to know how to get under
or over such an obstruction In a dry
time the wrapper should extend below
the moisture line in the soil but be
low that line the worms will not go
Care should be taken to have it loose
enough about the stem to leave the
plant free to develop naturally In
some cases gardeners that have many
plants to protect use tin protectors
Strips of tin about eight inches long
and three inches wide are used Be
fore the tin is bent into a circle the
ends for about one inch are folded
back to form two hooks that clasp in
to each other and make the joint that
holds the cylinder together When
the danger from worms is past these
cylinders are taken off and stored
away to be used in subsequent years
Brown Tail oMth Hairs
It is somewhat surprising to hear
that a caterpillar can become a men
ace to health A press bulletin of the
New Hampshire station says
One of the most serious effects of
the presence of the Brown tail Moth
in a community is that of the peculiar
skin disease it may produce Some of
the hairs of the full grown caterpillars
are furnished with minute barbs
When the caterpillars molt these
barbed hairs are shed with the skin
and as the skins become dry and are
blown about by the wind the hairs
may be quite generally disseminated
When the hairs alight upon the hu
man skin they cause an irritation
which upon rubbing may develop into
inflammation In New Hampshire this
phase of the insects presence has al
ready become evident At Ports
mouth a clothes reel was near a tree
infested by the caterpillars The fam
ily were greatly troubled through the
summer by extraordinary irritations
of the skin for which they were un
able to account but which were doubt
less due to caterpillar hairs blown
from the pear tree to the clothes up
on the reel In the same city a gen
tleman in removing a caterpillar
which had landed upon his neck scat
tered some of the hairs which pro
duced an eruption similar to but con
siderably worse than that produced
by Doison ivy
Appreciates the SkJm Milk
The farmers of the corn belt are
coming more and more to appreciate
the value of their skim milk for feed
ing on their farms to their calves
hogs and poultry Talking with the
manager of a creamery in Northern
Illinois a representative of the Farm
ers Review was told that he could
buy no skim milk for making up into
cottage cheese for the reason that
the farmers In his vicinity would not
sell it They declared that it was
worth at least 20 cents per 100 pounds
for feeding to their farm animals and
that they preferred to keep it even if
they could get that for it One man
lived not far from a bottling establish
ment where he could get a good price
for his whole milk but he preferred
to haul it to a whole milk creamery
that he might get the skim milk to use
on his farm In this same locality
one year the farmers quite generally
sold their milk for shipping to the
city but when fall came found that
their hogs were in poor condition on
account of having been deprived of
the skim milk in the early periods of
their lives The next year they made
a change and held back the skim
milk for their own use We doubt
very much if 20 cents per 100 pounds
represents the true value of the skim
milk for feeding purposes That may
be indicated by the actual chemical
content of the milk but it has a value
beyond that which is the value that
it has in combination with corn It
has been shown that corn is worth
very much more when fed with skim
milk than when fed alone As a bal
ancer for corn it has a value that the
chemist will never be able to deter
mine
Demand for Sweet Cream Eutter
Sweet cream butter is butter that
has not been salted and not butter
made from unripened cream That
the demand for this kind of butter is
increasing is a remarkable fact The
creamery at Ringwood Illinois is ma
king about 30000 pounds of butter a
month and all except that used by
the patrons is being taken by a large
dairy company of Chicago Gradually
there has been an increase in the de
mand for unsalted butter till now
two thirds of all the butter supplied
by that creamery is of this kind That
is about 20000 pounds of unsalted
butter is being supplied by this one
creamery every month and there are
numerous other creameries making
some sweet cream butter At first the
demand was from the foreigners al
most wholly and especially from the
Jews Indeed the Jews were such
great users of this unsalted butter
that the factory men dubbed it Jew
butter But it is now losing that
characterization for the reason that
many native Americans are using it
instead of the salted article We have
supposed that the demand for the
fresh article was to be confined td
European countries like France but
we are evidently mistaken The but
ter is making great headway in Eng
land where the demand has always
previously been for salted butter This
in our country at least marks a new
phase of creamery development
The Dairies and the Doctors
One man that has the handling ol
a good deal of milk for Chicago tells
the writer that he has an arrangement
with the doctors in several towns
from which he buys milk by which
the doctors report to him the presence
of any contagious disease on any farm
in the locality whether that farm is
producing milk or not In this way it
is possible for him to know about the
conditions under which milk is being
made for his trade This he finds to
be a very good plan In the case of
the contagious disease being on the
farm of a man that is selling him
milk he can take measures to prevent
the sending out of that milk On the
other hand if the disease is on the
farm of a man that is not selling him
milk he can serve a notice on the
men that are selling him milk that
they are not to receive the milk from
such a farm If this practice were
made general it would greatly im
prove the situation as to the spread
of contagious diseases by means of
milk Cases are constantly coming to
the attention of the public where some
man that is supplying perhaps only a
very small amount of milk to the
trade is the meaHS of scattering dis
eases that ravage communities using
the milk Every man should have too
much conscience to sell milk when he
has a deadly disease in his family but
actual experience demonstrates that
that is just the time he will sell his
product as a general thing for the
reason that his needs are greatest at
that time This phase of human na
ture must be taken into consideration
Scalding with Cold Water
In a visit to a creamery recently the
writer noted that the combined churns
and butter workers were in perfect
condition and that no smell could be
detected Theca churns had been in
use for a year The buttermaker
laughed when the condition of the
churns were mentioned to him and
said that he never had trouble in keep
ing his churns perfectly sweet and
clean though he knew of factories
where the combined utensils were al
ways in a condition that was not sat
isfactory Some of them wouldnt
bear looking into unless the nose
were kept out He declared the trou
ble to be that too many buttermalrers
scald out their churns with cold ttv
