Stylish English Tailor Gowns and

Stylish English Tailor Gowns and How
They Are Made.
The plain styles Of the English tailor
prevail in the street dress. They are
more pronounced in their severity and
simplicity than in any season past. The
plain smoothly fitting bodices which
have been part Of the street gown
for several seasons are retained and
are furnished with plain vests Of heavy
corded silk with revers OF braiding or
velvet at the sides. The bodice is still
short on the hips and Is finished with
slight point or square tabs ut the back
Such boiices as these form the house
waist for the majority Of tailor cos
tunes. though in some instances tailors
are using the short jacket reaching
nearly to the waist line with q closely
fitted vest which ends at the waist liza
under gathered First Empire girdle.-
This jacket closely resembles the
Zouave jackets worn twenty years ago.
but the corners are square and not
rounding, and they are fitted to the
figure and extend below the waist at
the back. A high collar, as high as
the throat of the wearer will bear, and
close coat sleeve, are still dc riJeMr-
With either style OF house whist given
is worn the plain draped DfrectOire skirt
previously described and which fashion
able tailors are adopting generally.
The simplicity Of cut used this season
will be- q relieftO the home dressmaker,

in the art, can easily model stylish

The greatest drawback is in the fitting.
II she Is not skillful in this way. it is
far wiser for her to have the bodice Of
her gown cut, fitted and basted fox her.

carelessness induced by the rush Of
business.
The Dircctoire polonaise with Its
wide revers and fiaring collar is .
popular model for tailor dresses. En-
glish women do not wear an outside
wrap with the street gowns, but add
underneath their bodice or polonaise,
vest Of chamois to give additional
warmth. The milder and more equable
climate Of England. together with the
fact that English women habituate
themselves tn nm indoor atmOSDher8
colder than an American woman would
consider tolerable, renders a heavy
outside wrap superfuous. Innings Of

SERviCEAeLE FENCES.

Some Things Learned by . Farmer Of
Thirty Years Experience.
A farmer who has had trouble with
dumping fences,' as he terms it, says
he stopped it by mailing horseshoe on
each front foot of the COW or steer.
But he should have been more explicit.
Jumping fences are great nuisance
ON farm. and it seems to me that q
well-set post and rail fence won't Jump
very high. When the earthquake hap
pened about two years ago all Of my
fences running east and west jumped
so as to throw the corners all awry
and leave most Of the top rails on the
tops Of the stakes, and many were
thrown off. But this was not an ordi.
nary kind Of jumping fence. Those
who are troubled with the common
kind might try the horseshoe plan.
What is the best fence? have long
sought to find this out and have tried
the old-fashioned worm fence, staked
or double-staked and ridered: the post
and-board fence and the post-and rail
fence, with morticed posts and rails
Aattened and pointed at the end. ]
have some miles OF fence on my farm
and have constant trouble with the
fences, all but about half a mile Of
solid post-and-rail fence made Of chest
nut posts and five rails to each panel.
The rails are ten feet long. This fence
stands firmly; the heaviest winds dc
not move 1t; no cattle or horses try to
jump it, it being five feet high; and
from former experience. dating back
thirty years, know such q fence will
last as long as this, If properly made.
1t is cheap. The posts are split sap
lings about ten years old and eight
inches on the split face. The holes are
bored with a boring machine and two
inch auger. two holes being made five
inches apart from outer edges and the
wood between them is cut out with a
post axe having a blade two inches
wide. Two men will hole one hundred
posts a day and will set up the one
hundred panels OF fence in three days.
costing thus seven cents u panel for
setting the fence. And when it is set.
it is set for years without need for re-
pair or almost daily watching and put
ting up rs with the common rail fence.
The best thing to do with jumping
and breachy animals is to have good
fences, SO that when they are young
the animals will not learn to jump or
throw down the fences. Bad fences
make breachy and unruly stock.
