rusIrous uIack ceIver-a small woman
might substitute silk or satin in the
bodice-the elbow sleeves huge and
not too sloping, the skirt plain. The
striking feature of the dress was a
wide V-shaped bodice front of huge
figured plaid, which reappeared in
narrow gore down the front of the
skirt. Perhaps the most striking
effects are always produced by the
simplest means. AT any rate, they are
seldom produced by the most complex.

Selection of Apple Trees.

There are hundreds of orchards which
would be profitable if the owners un.
derstood all that was required in the
growing of apples. Farmers buy trees
without regard to the adaptation of the
varieties TO the climate and soil, and
many of them do not even know the
names of the varieties they have. An
orchard can be made very profitable,
but the farmer cannot expect success
unless he fully understands what he is
doing, for, should he make a mistake
at first in the selection of varieties, he

Advices Which. If Needed. VIII Lessen

Some excellent advice TO a young

Always remember that what you
learn about your husbands family is
TO he kept to YOURSELF that when you
married him and took his name YOU be-
came one of the family. and the little
trouble, the little Skeleton, is not TO
be discussed with the members of the
family in which you were born. To
your sister it may mean nothing that
some trouble has come TO your hus-
bands brother. You may tell it to her
in secrecy, and it may seem of so little
Importance that she will repeat it TO
her sister-in-law, and gradually what
was meant to be kept quiet is told all
round the neighborhood. The art of
keeping to yourself what you hear on
each side of the house is one that you
must cultivate, for it means the keep
ing of peace. Surely, you would not
wish to hurt your husband, and yet you
will do it if you cannot keep quiet.
When you enter his mothers house,
anything that is told to you in conf
dence must be forgotten when you
leave it, unless, indeed, it is discussed
with your husband, and the same rule
will apply to your own family. Don't
imagine that every little frown, every
little disagreeable word is meant for
you, and do not retail to your husband
anything unpleasant that may have
happened when you were visiting at
his mothers house. Think that she is
your mother, too, and give her the priv
iiege of speaking to you as your mother

New and Dainty Tea Cloths.

Sprays of the hop vine with punches
of hops are embroidered on white linen
tea cloths and center pieces. The leaves
are in deep, long and short stitch, the
tendrils of the vine in stem stitch, and
the hops are in solid raised work. The
California poppy, in it's brilliant shades
of yellow orange, was noticed on CEN
