Directions for Making u Neat and Stylish
Garment.
Those of embroidered slxirting have
the same full skirt, with high sleeves
on the round bodice, made sufficiently
long to tuck beneath the skirt belt
This bodice may lap over the bust, have
q row of insertion outlining u round or
pointed yoke, or be of the, simplest
spencer shape, with the sleeves. of the
embroidery. Simple ehemstitched lawns
are trimmed with nainsool edging and
insertion on the round bodice, The
neck is often cut in slight V. in front.
Velvet ribbon bows are worn on these
thin white dresses. Satines are made
up with full-fronted bodices, high
sleeves, straight skirts and velvet ac-
cessories, or those of heavy ecru, gui-
pure or Irish point lace. Yolies of en-
broidery on gingham dresses fasten in
visibly along the left shoulder seam.
1t is then a pretty fashion to have the
gingham waist reach up over the yoke
in a point, back and 'front.' with the
edge gathered and finished with en-
broidery. Surplice and spencer waists
are worn on gingham gowns, with full
skirts. Many bodices are given the
coat appearance by deep side plating
fastened to the skirt belt, Shirt sleeves
have wristband of insertion, and the
full topped coat design has turned back
cuffs of edging. Percales are made
with blouse waist, with one plait in
front, yoke in the back, high or rolled
collar and shirt sleeves. The skirt is
simply hemmed and gathered.-Ladies'

One Method Which Has Never Failed to

There is one method of introducing
queens that never fails it is that of
combining the queen in a hive with sew

over several hives, and select enough
combs from which the bees are just
emerging to fill hive. Choose those
( combs that have the least unsealed
brood, as the most of this will perish.
! Shake off every bee and hang the
combs in hive, closing it up bee-tight.

Another delusion is malaria, so called.
The word malaria means bad air. The
diseases that are attributed to this cause
are frequently common in districts wherX
there is no stagnant water or ANYTHING
else to faint the atmosphere IL will be
remembered that during the autumn of
/ 1881 there was an unusual number of
people who were attacked by these dis
eases in southwestern and west central
Missouri and also eastern Kansas, when
there had been no rains of any conse-
quence for months, and that, too, in dis
! tricts far removed from decomposing
water or any other substance.
The cause or causes of these diseases
were surely not in the air, consequently
should not be attributed to malaria. 1t

hot weather of summer the heat that is
