What the Ladies' of Fashion Will Weai
During Winter.
The success of fashions for summer
gowns has caused the manufacturers
to bring out wool material suitable
for winter wear At first glance one
would imagine it was thin texture,
with lining of darker or contrast
inc shade. Such, however, is not the
case, the two apparently distinct sur
faces being woven together. This is
to be made up with plain goods of a
solid color. Stripes are shown in end
less variety. There are broad ones,
narrow, medium and a mere cluster OF
threads, with a single wide one inter
vening; also alternate stripes on
grounds of totally different nature.
These are also made up with plain ma
terial combination costumes contlnu-
ing qut e as popular as they have been:
Colored velvets with shot and shaded
stripes are very desirable fabrics; the
new Bayadere veloutineS are also pop
ular. Veloutine is a thick, soft, large
" repped silk, which has the effect OF
terry velvet. 1t Grapes gracefully and
would retrim plain dress so as to be
unacceptable, as they are stylish and
novel.
Gowns imported from Paris are re-
markable for the manipulation OF
stripes, which are certain in some part
of the gown to be placed vertically.
The skirt is of plain goods, or if very
much desired by young girl the
stripes are used horizontally, but the
overskirt, which falls IN heavy pleats
at the back, in front is caught into the
.waistband, forming a diagonal apron,
and beneath is another apron cut on
the cross.
Judging from French gowns, the
arm-holes are once more to be pulled,
and to make the draping of skirts per-
fectly successful they are first sewn to
the waistband straight all around and
then literally cutwith scissors on the
stands, so that they are short here and
long there, as required. The most sue
cessful treatment is where the upper
draperv is short on the hips and falls
in frill-like fashion, produced by cut

years he did the largest business ever

ner. Man has no moral or natural
right to impoverish the land he &C,
cupies. He has no right to defraud
those who are to come after him. His
successor to the soil have rights that
he is bound in natural justice to re-
spect. There is penalty attached to
the violation of all natural laws. This
may not always fall directly upon the
offender. We are told that it may
fall 'even upon the third and
fourth generations. But it is very
probable the present offenders will have
to bear their share of the
penalty attached to such wasteful
practices. The men who burned their
straw stacks ten years ago are to-day
paving the penalty. Where then they
reaped thirty bushels of wheat from an
acre they can now hardly get fifteen.
Many of these farms are now heavily
mortgaged and many more have
already passed under the hammer.
"Willful waste makes woeful want. "
1t is a Just retribution, and one from
which we may deduce a useful lesson.
The strawstacks may no longer be
burned, but it is plainly to be seen
that they are not cared for and utilized
in the best possible manner. Reform
here should begin at the tail-end of the
threshing machine. Put some of the
best men on the 'strawstack instead
of putting small boys and WORTH ess
hands there, as is too often done. Straw
should be stacked, not piled up. The
main idea with some is to get the straw
back out of the way of the machine.
A huge fiat pile is usually the result.
Straw is not of nature to shed rain
well at the best. and this form OF
structure is calculated to very much
aggravate the evil. 1t is not
an uncommon occurrence for a
strawstack to be wet clear
to the bottom and freeze IN SOHO
mass. A well-topped out strawstack i;
something of rarity. In the old coun-
tries straw is as carefully housed OF
stacked as any other product of the
farm. In strict economy it would be
better to stack part of the hay and
have room in the barns for the straw,
for the hay can be put in such shape
as to suffer but little loss by exposure
out of doors. The strawstack might
be put in much better shape than it is.
If well built there will be but small
percentage of loss at the top. If topped
out with a load or two of wild hay.
this loss might be reduced to almost
nothing.
While the converting of every straw
stack into good manure is prime con
sideration. we ought not to loss sight
of the fact that we can make it serve
another purpose by keeping it in good
condition to feed out to stock, and thus
render us a profitable return while we
put it in an immed ately available form
for the land.-W. D. Boyptoaa, IN West
