of the dress was Of the flshnCt, over pale

where it was fastened under bow and
small rosettc. The sleeves were of the
satin and puffed. There was a draped belt,
and around the bottom was a heading of
blue velvet. The train was brought up
under the lace rufflc in the back. The
whole makes a striking and superb cos
tune for dinner grand reception or ball
gown for Il young married lady. For even
ing jewels the present fancy is to have II
regular dog collar necklace of pearls or
other jewels, but pearls preferable. These
are from | TO 2 inches wide. Some ladies
take ribbons of the desired width and stiff
en- them with crinoline and fasten all
their small pins and pendants on them,
with little or no attention to symmetry
OF course diamonds, whether in single
strings or set necklaces, are always worn
when lady is fortunate enough to pos

very chic.

The broken plaid chcviot for young girls
is an ideal fabric. The colors are always
modest, and the plaid makes the gown APP

1t remains only to suggest the charac-
ter of the working plan followed by Mr..
Pinchot. He aims, first, for profitable
production second, for constant annual
yield TO give steady occupation to IA
trained force, and allow permanent Of
ganization; third, to improve the pres
ent poor condition of this forest. Tn Sc
results are to be attained by the Selec-
ton and High Forest systems. In each
case it is intended that $50 years shall
elapse after one cutting before cutting
again.
The perfect selection forest has trees
of all ages mixed together and the annual
cutting is over the whole. This is only
possible under highly perfected trans
portation. Not yet having this. Mr..
Pinchot has adopted the localized Sc
lection system, by which the annual
yield comes from restricted portion fOl
several years; then from another portion
for the same period. He uses one-fiftf
OF the whole area during each period OF
five years, so that the cutting returns
over the same land once in twenty-five
years.
4 BY this working plan, the forest was
divided into compartments, numbered
from to 90. This makes reference tC
different parts easy. These compare
ments were based on natural lines
such as ridges, streams, etc, and were
then united into blocks, not on the basis
of conugulty, but natural conditions o.
soil, altitude, etc. These blocks formed
the unit for management, and each Il

The localities for first operation were
determined by several considerations
First, the roads have not yet been sys-
temalized, nor properly constructed, and
so haulage must be short second, traus-
portatiOn must be equaized from year to
year; thirdly, the points most needing
cutting must first be taken up. Two
points at the opposite ends of the estate
were selected, one for numbering. the
other for cutting cord-wood. part of
which is to be made into alcohol if too
far from roads, and part sold for burn
ing. The details of cutting cord wood were
as follows: The selected trees were all
carefully marked, great care being used
not to mark too numerouSly. They were
then notched with an axe by the fore
man and thrown by the sawyerS in the
direction and places marked by him.
Each tree was then sawed into its proper
length, the saWyers then passing ON,
leaving the splitting by mallet aud
wedge to another gang. as we'll as the
cleaning up of tops and their reduction
to cord wood The wood was then piled.
measured and hauled away. The lum-
berng was after the same general
method and the logs were cut up by a
: portable mill and the lumber stacked in
the lumber yard until called for. All
parts of the numbered log are sayed for
some purpose. Mr. PinchOt trained his
, own foreman and workm taking tor
b the former place young Adirondack
lumberman of large practical experience,
. aud teaching him how to execute the
: comparatively simple Improvement cut
tings. The woodnen were carefully

as they grasped the significance of such
plan slowly.
The conditions of the market for the
I product of this forest, the poor quality
