Close BOdices.

Close-ftting bodice fronts are rarely
seen now, but their absence doesn't
lead to any lack of variety. for the
number of loose fronted models is al
ready amazingly large. Between the

gle box plat is laid to follow the line
of the fit smoothly to front that is
billowy wonder of puffery bag proJec-
tions. there is an intervening variety
that is almost endless. Strict adher-
ence to the very spirit of the fashion
demands that the bodice should be
made and cut permanently with bag

can be made to serve. Here is one
simple way: A baggy front may
be made either of material

bag is adjusted at the foot either to a
belt or to a small piece finished with
a rosette at each side. Hooks con-
cealed under this piece serve to attach
the foot of the bag to the foot of the
bodice. The box plat or bag fastens
on the under surface of the dress at the
sides. the edge being loose. This idea
is sometimes simplified to a single box

gether on the under side, ther being

The "Chu-nability" Of Cream.

The ''churnability" of cream is in
large part due to the individual pecul-
iarities of the COW. Some people, says
Hoard's Dairyman, count this an i'm
portant point and breed for it, with the
result that they have cows that give
very understanding cream. In some
degree this is also breed characters
tic. Milk containing large butter
globules will yield an easier churning
cream than milk with small butter
globules. The cream from the cows
fresh in milk churns more readily than
from the same cows at a later period;
feed also affects the churnability of
cream, but how or why we do not
know. Succulent feed promotes
churnability. The silage feed to Ger
tain of these cows explains in some de-
gree why it taxes less time to churn
cream from their milk. It is quite
possible, also, that the different creams
coming from different herds have diff
ferent species of bacteria FREEDOM
mating in them.

SUMNER UNDERWEAR.
Comfortable Garments for the Hot Wealth
err Season.

Comfortable Garments for the Hot-Weath-
Season.
There seems to be a reaction in pub.
lie opinion in favor of cotton under
wear. and English manufacturers are
now advertising sanitary cotton gar.
ments with the same furore with which
garments.
These new garments are made of cot
ton stockinet, and are intended to be
worn next to the skin. They are rec.
commended especially for summer, be-
cause they are cool, and being open
and loose in weave they absorb the
perspiration as successfully as gar
ment of wool, while they are new
err irritating to a delicate skin,
as a wooden garment is like
ly to be. One of the most accept.
able features of these cotton garments
is that they are excee dinghy inexpen-
sive. A dainty garment, sleeveless
and low-necked, in shape, is sold as
low as twenty-five cents. These gar
ments are much more durable than the
gauze and fannels, which are also
more costly. These vests are worn
next to the corsets, the chemise being
dispensed with or used as cover. The
tendency is to decrease rather than to
increase the multiplicity of under-gar-
ments demanded by modern fashion,
and the corset-cover is now seldom
worn at the same time as the chemise.
This woven undervest of stockinet
takes the place of the latter garment

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

TO remove wine stains from linen
put the stained parts in boiling milk
and let the stains soak in it. If soak
ing once does not remove them boil
more milk and put the stains into it q
second or third time. The pan into
which the milk should be poured boil

-Prune Puff: Three tablespoonful
of stewed, stoned and mashed prunes,
sweetened with three tablespoonfuls
of powdered sugar, and all beaten
gradually into the whites of three
eggs, adding the juice of half lemon
with the last of the whites. When
beaten stiff. pour into a buttered dish
and cook twenty minutes in a chafing
dish over the hot-water pan.-Prairie
Farmer.
To Make Black Coffee: An ap-
proved way to make black coffee is to
put four tablespoonfuls of pure pulver-
lied Mocha coffee in a warm, dry cof-
fee pot, and pour over it gradually a
pint of boiling water. Stand the pot
in a balm Marie, or in a sauce pan of
boiling water, SO that, though the cof-
fee gets thoroughly hot, it still does
not boil. When this coffee has been
poured through strainer. it is ready
for use.-Farmer's Voice.
Orange Bread Pudding Miss Par
loa's): Soak one cup of soft bread
crumbs in one-half cup milk for one
hour. Beat till light. Add the rind
of one and the juice of two oranges.
To the beaten yolks of two eggs add
one-half cup sugar, and then the bread
mixture Lastly put in the beaten
whites of tie two eggs. Bake in six
creased cups, in a pan of hot water, in

City and Country.
Lettuce Salad: After perfectly
cleansing the leaves of two heads of
lettuce, put them on the ice for an
hour or two. Shortly before the salad
is to be served, cut an onion in halves
and rub the inside of cup with it.
Then put into the cup quarter of a
teaspoonful of salt, half as much pep
per, and four tablespoonfuls of olive
oil. Stir these well, and gradually
add tablespoonful and half of
vinegar. Lay the lettuce in a salad
dish and pour the dressing upon it.
The onion flavor may be omitted, and
this dressing is available for any green
or cooked vegetables used as salad
Good Housekeeping.
-Beets: When they are washed the
little fibers and ragged excrescences
should not be broken off. as the juices
of the root will thus be lost. Young
beets boil in an hour, but in the winter
they require from two to three hours.
When tender, put them for a minute
or two into cold water, take them in
your hands and slip off the skins.
This is much better and easier way
than to remove the skin with a knife.
Cut them in slices, lay them into hot
dish, sprinkle them with salt and pep
per, and a little butter, and if you
choose vinegar also. It is a very good
way to cut up all that remain after
dinner. Put on salt and vinegar a nd
set them aside to be used cold another
day.-Boston Budget.

RENTING ON SHARES.

The Terms Demanded by Landlords IN.
the Middle States.
Hardly any two farms are let on ex-
actly the same terms, but in the main
it may be said that all terms come
down at last to somewhere between a
third and half division of the pro-
ceeds of the property. In the north
eastern part of Ohio, we understand
that it is almost an Established custom
to rent dairy farm at the halves-the
owner to furnish land, cows, possibly
some tools, the tenant to do all the
work, furnish the work team, pay half
of the taxes, and, in the advent of
purchased feed for the dairy, he is to
Jay one-half of the cost of the feed
needed, and the owner of the farm the
other half Now and then man who
rents desires to own part of the cows
and raise some young stock. In this
event the owner of the farm pays to
the tenant per cent interest on the
market value of the few cows that the
tenant may furnish, and at the ex-
piration of the lease the increase
of the herd is equally divided.
Where the tenant desires to own the
stock, it is customary in the middle
states to agree upon a cash rent for
the farm, and the tenant ''hoes his
own row." specifications usually be-
ing agreed upon as to how the farm
shall be managed, how much plowed,
how much seeded down, and all tools
supplied by the owner of the farm to
be kept in repair, well housed, and
reasonable amount allowed for their
use.
Where land is let by the acre, it is
hard to tell at a distance just what
would be fair rental, including taxes
and keeping things in repair; but in
many parts of Ohio such lands, and
good houses, handy to market, rent
from So so to So per acre, and if near to
a city where milk can be retailed,
garden truck raised, and like advan-
tages, it may be double this, and posi-
bly, more for general farm, while
truck patch would bring a rental "out

quickly and easily, but road machines
are expensive, and for the making of
farm roads, especially, the homemade
scraper that is figured herewith serves
a very good purpose, while for making
smooth a rough country highway, and
for gradually working the earth from
the sides to the center of the road,
this scraper, preceded by harrow,
will be found of very great assistance.
The trouble with most of our country
roads is that they are fat, SO that the
rainfall either stands on the surface
and makes it extremely muddy, or,
if the road be in rolling or hil1y
country, the water runs along the mid
die of the highway, and badly washes
it. The shoulder" at the sides of such
roads should be loose earth scraped
into the middle of the highway,
so that it will be rounded from
side to side Then if the side
bitches are kept open all rain
water will quickly run off, and do no
injury either by making mud or by
washing. These two points, 1 think,
account for large share of our poor
highways "a fat surface and poor
drainage at the Sides If towns would
only see that it is much better to make
thorough work as far as they go, there
would be great lessening of the pres
ent troubles. There seems to be pre-

passable-to do just enough on them
ito clear the law''-with result that
every rain puts the roads back where
they were before any work at all was
done upon them. 1t ought to be seen
that in the end this is the most expen-
sive plan that could be pursued. Make
the roads as wide as possible, round
them we'll, keep the side drains well
open and their outlets clear, and even
hard storms will not wash them. Com
parativeIy few towns can expend large
sums in making scientific rock-bal-
lasted roads, but all can use good COM
mon sense in directing the labor that
is to be expended upon them. Our
roads are poor, not because a large
amount of labor has not been ex-
pended upon them first and last, but
because so much of this labor has been
misdirected and therefore wasted

eventually, and the afternoon was Well
advanced, when Miss Delamore called
upon Kitty to sing.
Kitty responded with the readiness
which was one of her charms. She
brought her guitar from the cabin,
took her seat conveniently near the
spot where Jack was carrying on a
very fair imitation of a Irritation with
Miss Huntington, and without preface
or apology began one of the favorite
ballads of the day.
Kitty's voice was like herself, piquant
and sweet and full of charming sur
prises- She sang snatches of operas,
rollicking college songs, and now and
then one of those tender, plaintive lit
tie airs that compel neither smiles nor
tears, but in some unaccountatie way
reach the heart. And her audience
applauded hungrily and would not be
satisfied till at last she said, with
pretty air of determination: ''This is
positively the last" AS she spoke she
looked full at Jack, and for the first
time that day their eyes met
She turned away her head and a
beautiful color burned in her cheeks
as she struck vibrating chord on the
guitar. There was in her voice, too, a
tremulousness which caught the atten-
ton of the listeners almost from the
first word.

Again he seemed to hear the weird
music of the rustling pines, and the
face of the singer grew misty before
his blurring eyes 1t would have been
more delicate, in Kitty, the poor fellow
reflected savagely, to select a song
without such illusions. But like all
else in this day of torture it must be
endured; and Jack braced himself to
listen.

The young man wiped the drops of
perspiration from his forehead. He
was pale to the lips, and the girl from
Baltimore noticed it and asked hi.n
confidentially if he were seasick.
Jack did not answer. In fact he did
not even hear. For now into Kitty's
voice there had come a poignant note
of longing and entreaty, and her guitar,
as if responsive to her mood, sobbed
out it's ripping accompaniment:
He took the ring gave him. nor cast a glance
And then he turned and tossed it in the waters

But my stubborn heart was breaking under

And the pine trees sobbed in pity overhead.
The words were crude, the melody
simple; yet as the girl sang from her
heart she somehow touched those di-
vinest OF life's harmonies, which are
the inspiration of all the arts. And
more than one of the listeners found
their eyes suspiciously moist, though
perhaps they themselves would have
been puzzled to tell why.

Reunited in the shadow of the pines
The song closed abruptly, and Kitty,
leaving her seat somewhat hurriedly,
turned her back upon her still clamor-
Gus audience. Jack followed, and as
they stood in a sheltered nook together,
his shoulder close pressed to hers, he
saw that her delicate lips were CULVER
ing.
kitty said the young man, his
voice thick with loves sublime intox-
ication, can you ever forgive me?"
She turned her brimming eyes upon
him. IF l hadn't wanted forgiveness

written that song"
Then with that Indifference for APP

in moments of exaltation, Jack kissed

ing sword, the lovers, hand in hand,

IT'S GOT TO BE ARRANGED SOMEHOW"
here?" and walked to the other side of
the Yacht to recover his composure.
For Jack Walford was still young
enough to believe that love is eternal,
and though he had no intention of
making any unmanly fuss over the
matter, he knew very well that his
heart had been irremediably broken
by the cruelty of this coquette in blue,
now lavishing her dangerous smiles OF
all corners.
Jack looked out over the calm water
and thought of the evening just a
month before. when he and she had
walked together under the signing
branches of the pines and the sea
breeze had ruffled the bewitching little
curls around her forehead. The poor
bow choked to remember the trifie
Eight as air" which had been the
cause of their quarrel, and vainly tried
to console himself with the reflection
that if Kitty had ever really loved him
she.could not have made those savage
speeches which had cut him to the
heart. One recollection, however,
gave Jack melancholy comfort.
When Miss Crawford had drawn from
ncI unRcI Ihc rug NhASh hS nav PAe.S~N
there with so much love and pride
few short weeks before, Jack had re-
ceived the little token without word,
and, turning on his heel, had hurled it
into the dancing waves Then, with
out single backward glance, he had
walked away. and by this course OF
conduct Jack thought, perhaps not un.
reasonably, that he had properly sus-
tanned the dignity of a much-inJured
man.
And now. though he had been taken
by surprise and compelled to beat a
temporary retreat, Jack, who was grit
to his finger ends, had no intention of
kurrendering without blow. After
fifteen minutes of reflection he found
himself able to approach Kitty and
greet her with a careless cordially;
and then immediately devoted himself
70 making the acquaintance of Miss
Huntington, who was almost as pretty
as her enthusiastic hostess had de-
elared. And SO the morning passed un-
