This season has brought a boon to the
over tall girl in the shape of the dress
with the double skirt. This is one of the
prettiest and dressiest modes of making
. mp gowns that we have had. The lower
skirt portion can be set on lining If it
is a question of economy in material,
and it is better anyhow if the fabric is
heavy. The lower skirt reaches just to
the knee, and the upper part falls four
inches overit, have seen some of these
with the upper skirt cut out in vandy kes
and waves and the edges bOrdered with
silk fringe. Others have a row of gre
lottes, which are very pretty, but require
that the waist shall have something Of

manner.
The prettiest of the double skirted
gowns was one made of peachblow fay
cite, which is delicate but strong new

draping quite as gracefully, This had a
narrow band Of green and silver EN-
broidery two inches wide around both
skirts and two rows around the neck

There were white lace caps TO the bai-

girdle. The hat was silver straw with

there is shoulder cape made of wide
and full bias falls of the material, bound,
as is the rest, with inch wide tailor
braid The front of the waist to the long
coat fastens with double row of round
dull silver buttons.
Such coat should not reach quite TO
the bottom of the dress. as it is for a
dressy travelling wrap. The material of
which these novel long coats are made is
usually broadcloth in one of the highest
shades, such as biscuit, tan, clay or dull
blue in light shade, and the finish is the
neatest and smoothest possible to give it.
The skirt is cut like an umbrella skirt,
with no seam but one in the back, and
the fullness gathered on the belt. The
sleeves are large gigot, which are slight
ly stiffened at the top to give the cape
the right hang.

travelling costume colors and require
ribbon trimmings, though feathers are
admissible, but if one travels by the sea

| What are the lessons TO be drawn
! from recent sales as applied to our home
interests? The most patent one ID that
many men have been breeding types of
animals that are not suited for either the
track or road. and surely not for breed
ing purposes. Many of these men have
carelessly bred. hoping to get a chance
racer. and failing in that expected to get
a roadster. Such haphazard Breeding
does not pay and should never pay.
breeder ever being able TO compete in
supplying either the field for racers or
for roadsters.
We do not care to be misconstrued
and quoted as authority that the trotter
is not suited for a roadster. On the con-
trary, we DO believe that the breeder
who intelligently tries to produce great
campaigners and racers will find large
proportion Of his animals to be great
roadsters, although not up to the stand
ard of racers. But remember such men
are those that are breeding for trotters
and not irving TO breed several different
things at the same time.
We are all agreed that the size, perfect
conformation and speed are special re-
quisites desired in the racer, and the
same things make good roadster when
the speed ability fails 70 reach the racing
requirement. Many racing breeders in
speaking of size in the trotter sneeringly
state that "they go in all shapes and
sizes" This is true, but all of us admit
that size is desirable when it does not
carry with il awkwardness and too much
height or weight. This is an important
quality in the trotting ranks and still
into the road classes.
We believe the trotter the greatest
road horse America has produced, but to
fill the bill they must have size and at
tractive appearance, with style in their
movements. The man who undertakes
to breed ponies had best start with po-
MES, as it is much cheaper than to try
and push trotting runts off ON the public
for ponies.
We believe n man can breed for par
ticular type of animal and succeed best.
III for trotters that can race, then keep
that clearly before you all the time. II
your speciality is for roadsters, let that
be the goal to which all your efforts are
directed. II for plow horses or ponies,
breed what is suited for that purpose.
Many of the animals produced under
such intelligent breeding would be suit
ed for other purposes. 1t is the man
who is breeding mares that he knows
are not suited for raising trotters TO
trotting sires, simply because they have
no trotting blood in their veins. that we
are striking out of business. He does
not think for moment what he is try
ing to produce, and generally raises
nondescript that is unsuited for any spe-
cial purpose.
Examine closely your material before
trying to produce anything from it, and
if unsuited to your purpose sell it, re-
gardless of original cost, and start right

Cleveland Bay In the south.

The large draft breeds Of horses, such
as the Clydcsdale and PerCheron. are too
heavy. awkward and sluggish 10 suit the
tastes and uses of our southern people
and will never become popular here.
We have long entertained the idea that
the Cleveland Bay would suit our south
ern purposes better aud could be bred
with far better profit, being stylish,
rangy. active, hardy This breed Is
larger stronger, more active, spirited,
and has more lasting endurance than
the majority of mules and horses that
are deemed large enough and powerful
enough 20 perform the heaviest drT't
work on southern farms that horses and
mules are used for IN this country. The
infusion of thoroughbred blood in The
Cleveland Bay gives additional value be-
yond mere slze-it gives him speed, and
IL gives him good action, insures de.
gree of endurance for his size that is not
possessed by the distinctive heavy draft
breeds or the great majority Of trotters.
The Cleveland Bay is but "A cross be-
tween the thoroughbred and the heavy
draft In the days of stage coaches in
England IL became in time apparent
that the heavy cart horse of Great Brit
ain was too slow and cumbersome for
coaching purposes An animal was de
sired that would give not only good size
but better speed, action Sld endurance;
hence it was deemed wise 10 cross the
thoroughbred on the heavy carthorse.
This gave horse that suited the special
purpose well and an animal Of far SUI
perior style. This was, in fact. the orr
gin Of the Cleveland Bay.
We make war on no breed. All have
their special uses. There is no general
purpose horse as there is no general
purpose COW. But the Cleveland Bay
in our humble opinion comes as near
filling the general purpose bill as any
breed We have any knowledge Of. We
have mo AK 10 grind" in the matter, as
we are not personally interested in any
manner in the ownership or profits of
any Cleveland Bay stock We champion
the Causo of no particular breed for the
special purpose Of creating "A prejudice

The Cleveland Bay is very little known
throughout the south, but few ever hav-
ing been bred here; hence it is well
enough 10 direct the special attention of
our southern stockmen and farmers TO
the merits of this breed in the hope that
enterprisings and professional breeders
