GARDE TOOLS FOR WOMEN
HINT FOR MANUFACTURERS.


=. ,s strange that no manufacturer Of garden tools
has nut In market light spades. hoes and other
tools for wouans in the hower-garden. The
socaed ladies' garden SETS are really suitable only
for children or women Of exceedingly short stature.
Tho handles are about half the length OF the ordinary
handles OF the regular rake, hoe. spade and digging
forks. and a woman OF medium height must stoop I'M
comfortably TO make any Of them. She Is. there
fore almost restricted to the trowel and wedding
fork which can be used only In STOPPING position.
An iron rake with a little shorter handle. and even
small hoe and digging fork would be very convenient
tools for women who delight to work In the flower
garden.
Not even tennis Is such healthgiver as this gar.
den work. and nothing Is more fascinating TO woman
who loves flowers. The blades of the best sets Of
the tools that put In ladies' SETS are excel
lent though they might well b. a little heavier and
longer for practical use. But the handles are very
much too short. and there Is no reason why they
should not be made Of some lighter material than the
heavy wood used for the ordinary garden tools for
men. our wall brushes and some OF the brooms are
made with handles OF especially light wood. which v
not the less strong because II Is light.

"THE FASHION OF HER GOWN"
GLIMPSES OF FRENCH STYLES-A MOURN.
ING COSTUME

The general effect OF the Partisan bodice Is decidedly
"topheavy"; for while the waist is round and small
the shoulders are broadened with all manner Of lace
and embroidered frS. berthas, cpauletes. collets.
etc. That the skirt, being wide at the lower edge
should be scant at the top is OF course thought
sary in order to balance these shoulders. II is an
hourglass effect at which Nature and Art must stand
ach1st-but II Is undoubtedly "chic.n odd shades Of
color. such as willow green, Delft blue, lavender
green and pale violet much i'll favor for gowns
just now In Paris.
Costumes cut "cn redingote" now to be seen
at the Partisan dressmaker's. Here Is an attractive
