FEW WORDS ON Innings.
,sust What to Buy to Have Your Dresses
Hang Like Poem.


Your dress will never 'wobble' II
you have it made on silk lining. Yes,
it is expensive; it adds at the very low
est calculation five dollars to the cost
but is that so very much to pay Tor
orace of motion and the poetry OF
dress? Fabrics are remarkably cheap.
The fifty-cent mixtures, stripes, liam
nels. fiannelettes, diagonals and prints
are bewildering. Eight yards will
make a pretty frocl>; there's four dol
lars and two dollars for findings. Now,
instead of velvet sleeves, galoon RIB
hons lace frills and passementerie,
vhv not substitute five dollars worth
of silk for the skirt? Line the waist
and sleeves with grass linen or sateen
and you will get lots of satisfaction out
of that eleven-dollar dress. Wash silks
NAV be bought for fifty cents yard.
They are light weight, dainty and dur
able but not as good as the taffeta or
old-fashioned .'oil boiled and summer
silks. that respond to every movement
and slide away, even in tangle OF
underskirts.
The next best thing is glossy linen
lining and one good silk petticoat,
which can be worn with every dress
and with care will last half n year.
'.'The leading lady" that criterion OF
taste. will always sacrifice material
and trimming for silk lining. If she
can afford only thirty-two-cent ba
tiste or a thirty-cent tennis flanne
she will have it made on silk. And the
effect? Better and more artistic thar

to be so devout. Well, the other Sun
dav morning James called to take her
to church. That was equal to saying
that he would do anything for her, so
she was so nervous that she couldn't
find her prayer book. She hunted high
and low, and finally found it in the
most unlikely place. They were late
at church, and when the services had
begun she opened what she thought
.was her prayer book, when out flew
whole deck of cards. You see, the

Temperature OF swiss Forests.

For twenty years the Swiss govern
ment has been making observations
through its forestry stations on the
temperature of the air, of the trees and
the soil in the forests These observa-
tions show that the temperature In the
forests is always below the tempera-
ture outside. The temperature also
varies according TO the trees composing
the forests. A beech forest Is always
cooler than forest OF iarch. AS to
the trunks of the trees, they are
ALWAYS cooler than the surrounding
air Regarding the temperature OF the
soil. il is found that il the forest the
temperature is invariably below that
of the air. Outside the forest the SOIL
is alwars warmer than the air IN sum
