Soft silk is the proper material for
tea gowns now.
Marquise laces are dividing popular
favor with chantilly.
A novelty for sporting maidens is the
new ribbon-laced tennis belt.
Silk mitts of black or of tan color will
be much worn this summer.
White crepe cloth is now used in
pretty combinations with surah or
china silk.
An odd iewelry craze has just struck
Paris. The ladies there are wearing
big loops of gold in their ears-''creole
earrings" they are called.
There are only two women living
who have gowns embroidered with
real pearls. They are Queen Marg-
harita, Of Italy and Mrs. Bonanza
Mackay.
Long wraps, for carriage wear or for
travelling purposes, are made up very
stylishly in camel's hair. surah, cash
mere, mohair, pongee, beige or corah.
Black gowns are often relieved with
touches of color here and there, En-
broidery in soft dull cashmere tints is
considered the best thing wherewith to
brighten them.
Elegant full-dress garments are of
chantilly, escurial and Spanish lace,
and are decorated with watteaus OF
lace, passementerie, or ribbons. Some
have ruches of lace carried across the
shoulder.
For the tennis field ladies will wear
the blouse basque, in preference to the
old-fashioned sailor. The back OF the
blouse is fitted to the figure but allowed
to fall full at the front and is laced
with cords.
In arranging the trimming upon n

outlines of the shape are preserved.
The tiny frames can easily be smoth-

their prettiness entirely destroyed.

The parasol is slightly larger than
heretofore. 1t has paragon frame
and long, slender handle. topped with
silver or gold that is often set with
jewels. Some very showy ones are
made pagoda-shaped or draped with

is to have laUe trimming under the silk

Paris milliners predict that ribbon

TO ten inches, and appears in the rich

CULTURE OF MELONS.
Simple Method That Has Never Failed
in Ordinary Seasons.

Although very palatable and healthy,
besides being relished by almost every
body, young and old, comparatively
few farmers raise a supply of melons
for their own families, but depend en-
tirely upon buying Southern-grown
melons that have been pulled before
ripe and have to be shipped, thumped
and bruised, and lie about off the vines
for days and sometimes weeks before
say they would like to raise melons,
but they would not do well. 1t
is true that melons, like a great many
other things, require something more
than merely planting the seeds in or
der to insure crop. l will give my
way of raising melons, and l have
never failed. except when the cut
worms cut my plants and l did not
have seed to replant One must have
the right kind of soil; black sandy
soil, such as is usually found at the
foot of hill, or just at the edge of
pond, or any rich sod Land will do.
Plow deep, harrow until fine, make
Ilc rO"S lcct dptITt Ollc way, anu y
feet inches the other. Make hills
little above the level of the ground and
drop or s seeds on the hill, covering
Z of an inch deep with mellow earth.
Plant at the same time as corn is.
When they come up look out for the
little striped bug. The best way l
have found to protect them from these
little pests is to dig about the hills
with the hoe and sprinkle them we'll
with wood ashes. After the vines be-
gin to run, the bugs will not bother
them any more. Thin them then to
two plants in hill; pillow them we'll
now and then; keep them clean of
weeds with the hoe, and loosen the
ground about the hills with sharp
stick When the melons begin to ripen
don't let every body run through the
patch and tread on the vines, for they
are tender, and will not live after being
trodden upon. If the ground is covered
thickly with vines it will be best to
take cane when getting melons, to
move the vines for a place to set the
foot, so as not to tread upon the vines

Champion Of the Basnyard.

A fawn kept by a citizen of Eustis,
Fla, tried to induce the old family cow
to accept it as a mother, but was in
dignantly repulsed. The young deer
then endeavored to make friends with
the calf, but all overtures were refused.

HOME AND FARM,

Goats should never be kept where
fruit-growing is carried on. They are
very destructive to trees, eating the
bark off.
Every effort should be made to
save the waste materials of the farm.
They should be worked into compost,
and thus increase the manure heap.
Beware of salt that does not dis
solve Immediately. 1t is liable to re-
main undissolved and make the butter
gritty, unless an extra amount of
water is left in the butter, which would
be fraud.
Cream Mustard: Put half cup
vinegar on the stove to boil. Mix well
together 1 tablespoonful dry mustard,
teaspoonful salt, 2 eggs, half a cup
sweet cream, and stir into the boiling
vinegar; place over boiling water, and
continue the stirring until the mixture
is thick and smooth.
Horses can, of course, stand more
exposure in cold weather than men,
but the same kind of exposure that
produces colds, rheumatism, etc. in men
will be liable to affect horses in the
same way. 1t is. therefore, apparent
that warm stables, good blankets and
protection from severe weather are
necessary.
Dried Beef Relish: Take the hard,
small ends of dried beef, CRATE, and to
every cupful allow four tablespoonful
of cream, four eggs, well beaten, and
a little pepper. Put the meat and
cream in a stew pan; when hot add the
eggs; stir until the mixture becomes
thick. Dish up, and serve on squares
of buttered toast.
NO Smoking" should be worked
by the ladies on cards and put up in
sick rooms. Too often the impolite OF
thoughtless cigar puffer walks right
into the room of a sick wife, friend or
child, and leaves cloud of smoke that
distresses the patient and, may be, ag-
gravates the existing disease. If ''God
Bless Our Home" is to mean any thing,
mo Smoking is card needed also.
"A dairywoman of experience says:
you can get more milk from the same
COW by having her fresh in fall. She
will milk through the winter with but
a small decrease in milk. Then, when
put out in spring on good pasture, she
will increase almost, if not quite, to her
full flow of milk. When dry, hot
weather and flies come you are ready
to have her dried off,
Ounce Sauce: One cupful OF
ounce preserve, half a pint of milk,
one tablespoonful of corn starch, half
cupful of sugar. Mix the starch
with little of the milk; set the rest
on to boil; when it boils stir in the
corn starch and cook for ten minutes.
then add the preserve mashed fine and
cook five minutes longer; if not sweet
enough add sugar and boil five min
utes more. Press through strainer
or cheese-cloth and serve hot with the
pudding.
1t is natural to build the house on
an elevated position, as being more
slightly. Except for drainage, how
ever, elevation is less advantageous
than it may seem. 1t becomes pos
tive disadvantage on the farm, where
the barns and other buildings are
necessarily placed near the house. TIC
draw all the products of farm up
hill to store them is an unnecessary in
crease of expense. Lower land is also
less windswept, and as forests are
cleared away this becomes an impor.
tant advantage in locating buildings.

Prepare for Spring

Now is the time to prepare for spring, and your
sy stem is of first portance. If you have not
felt well during the winter, if have been over
worked, or closely confined in badly ventilated
rooms or shops, you need a good tonic and blood
purifier like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Take it early and
you will ward off attacks of disease or escape the
effects of impure blood and that tired feeling,
common in the spring. Do not delay. Take Hoods
Sarsaparilla now.
