NEW YORK, March 7. - These
long loose blouse styles hanging over
the front of the waist band, al
though they may be considered styl-
ish, are not by any means beautiful
nor do they improve the figure. How
ever. the fashionable women of to-
day will apparently wear anything,
even sack cloth, should it be Ia
mode" But the sensible woman
clothes herself to suit her own par
ticular style of being considered
well-dressed woman, but she be-
comes at once pleasure to look
upon. Why, nine women out of every
dozen look better in neat, per
fectly fitting tailor-made gown than
in all the lace, frillS or furbeloWS
in which they sometimes deck them
selves, although for some occasions
certainly dresSy gowns are a neces-
Sity. The very prettieSt arrange
ment in the blouse style is Redfern's
new method of a dropping box pleat
slightly falling over the front of the
waist belt, handsome rhinestone or
Jet buttons down the center to fin
ish. One Of the latest achievements
of the celebrated firm of ladies
tailors was a remarkably handsome
gown of the heather tweed, a dainty
blue with a dull red thread at in
tervals. The skirt had the new
folds, five in number, three grace
fully flowing out behind and two
smaller ones on either side, while
the smart little waist, which fitted
like a glove, had rich yoke of
white cloth under handsome braid
ing design in gold and blue mixed
cord. 1t fastened with tiny gold but
tons down the shoulder to a point
just below the waist, and having
buttons down the opposite to cor
respond. In the dreSSmaking de-
partment, where l never fail to
visit, I had the pleasure of seeing
two exceedingly charming gowns
made to order for one of New Yorks
most stylish and elegant women.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-03-10

Sketch shows us a delightful
demi-toilette, very suitable for a
theater or dinner gown. The skirt
and sleeves of this costume are com
posed of delicate dove-grey en-
Dossed silk, while the waist is en-
tirely of blue velvet. Here we have
shown to advantage the French box
pleat effect, which falls from sim
PIE, yet elegant band of silver braid
ing, forming a slightly low-cut
Square neck. Right over the band
line, the center is studded with lovely
silver stars, and at either corner
the neck is ornamented with a large
rosette and dropping loops of ribbon.

In the first sketch we have a mar
velously novel costume, suitable for
either home or street wear, being
composed of deep-hued green cloth.
The skirt, cut with the usual flare, is
void of all ornamentation, but hangs
out in full, graceful folds at the back
and slightly at the sides. The waist
makes up for the simplicity of the
skirt, being composed of jet over rich
cream satin, and falling over
Swiss belt of similar kind to the
yoke. The extremely full sleeves are
of cloth, while the throttle band is
of silk, fastened with "a bow at the
back.

waited nearly an hour for few boxes
of oranges that had not arrived from the
grove. However there were no trains to
meet, therefore il we arrived in Fort
Myers before the next morning the
freight would be in plenty Of time. The
steamer, however, made better time than
this and by five o'clock she was tied up
alongside of the Myers dock.
Sunday was spent in going to church,

would be best to locate to make a grove,

Fort Myers is beautifully located and
if the people would only form an i'm

ton of our trip as far as Caloosa, or what
is known on the river as the Tobacco
Plantation. We had heard several men
tions made of this place but had not
formed any idea of what it was, think
ing possibly some one had few plants
of tobacco growing, from whence it re-
ceived it's name. Imag ne our surprise
on finding a Tearing of considerable ex-
tent, and seventy -one acres already
painted or being planted IN various
crops, tobacco taking the major part.
This plantation is owned by wealthy
tobacco merchant Of New York, and is
in charge of Mr.. James A. Lane, for
merly tobacco gro Wer of Connecticut.
A flood and two colds had played sad
havoc with the tobacco and vegetable
crops, bat not being willing to be
downed, the fourth planting was put
out. Mr.. Lane says he is greatly encour-
aged with the possibilities Of tobacco
growing in that section, as a much
better grade can be made than elsewhere
in the State, besides having the peculiar
conditions in the atmosphere which have
4 good deal to do with rendering the
handling and curing a great deal easier.
We visited the cane patch, which was
Just coming up, giving promise of full
crop next season. Caloosa syrup has
gained quite reputation and is shipped
in 1O-gallon cases to different parts of
the State. Here we saw an improved
grinding machine, butthe old-fashioned
open kettles were still in use. The use
of an improved evaporating pan would
make a great improvement in the
appearance of the syrup, and the de-
mand would increase very rapidly as it
became known. The orange grove here
was the best we had seen up to this
were unhurt and that they we're putting
on new growth and blossoms. 1t was
not so, however, with the young groves,
as they were badly scorched. The first
freeze had taken the leaves off
and they had put on vigorous second
growth when the second freeze came
along and nipped them back consider
ably. Most of the young trees, how
ever, were putting out above the bud,
and it is to be hoped that all will pull
through. Here is good object lesson of
what care and attention will do. The
old grove was set out by the same man
and cared for just the same. The man
VINO set out the grove supposed it was
all on his own land, but when it was

standing the fact that the inha bitant

points of interest without having to
wander around and hunt them up, thus
we were landed at Mr.. Lanes and
greatly enjoyed his hospitality.
AS we were anxious to see orange
groves to note just how much damage
had been done, Mr.. Lane kindly took
the whole party to Alva and while Mr..
Lane was buying provisions we visited
different groves. Here we met one of
the AGRICULTURIsT's old-time sub
scribers in the person of Mr. HI. S. Eng
lish, who has been living on the river
good many years. His grove is now of
good size aud had stood both freezes
without dropping the old leaves. All of
thee groves have been made without
Mr.. J. B. Mckinley, who lives just across
the river, also has nice grove from
which we gathered fruit in good condi-
ton, although his lemon trees were
pretty badly scratched. He has a very
large grape fruit tree on which were
several large punches of fruit, which
were being saved for the fair The
groves here have very much the appear
ance that those around DeLand did,

pearance. We remarked veral times
that we would Ike to see those groves
fertlized and cared for as the groves are
in Volusia County and see what they
would do in the way of fruit.
| There is considerable land along the
river that is good for cane and general
cultivation also occasional patches of
good "tree" land, as all land which is
suited to orange trees is called in this
section. After taking us through bam

We were in hopes of having the pleasure
of meeting Mr.. Hickey, but he, like
nearly everyone else in the county, had
gone to attend court at Myers. His
grove consisted of about ten acres of
good sized trees from which the fruit
was just being shipped. Yielding the
large amount of GIG boxes. We under
stood that Mr.. Hickey had been offered
$500 for the crop on his grove early in
the season but being afraid someone
would make something on it he refused
and hung on till the oranges nearly all
dropped off and he realized less than
$500 for the crop. 1t is also reported
that during the phosphate craze he was
offered $780, for his 26O acres but
would not take it ''bekase the beggars

his grove and land go the same way that

The Modern Treatment Consists In Re-
moving the Cause.

(Frons the Republican. Cedar Rapids, IoEa)
Mrs. V. Curlsy, who has resided in Clar-
ence, Iowa, for the past twenty-five years,
tells an interesting story of what she con-
siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows:
''For ten years prior to 1894 was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble
had all the manifold symptoms of acute
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles were
present in complication-I did not know
what it was to enjoy meal. No matter

cation which would come on without a

My troubles increased as time wore on,

was unable to determine just what did all
me. The doctors gave us as their opinion
that the probable trouble was liberation of
the coats of the stomach, and held out no
hope of recovery. One doctor said: stAll
can do to relieve your suffering is by the use
of opium.
About this time a friend of mine, Mrs.
SAMANTHA Smith, of Glidden, Iowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Ok
ford Junction, Iowa. This lady said she
had been afflicted much the same as had.
She had consulted local physicians without
relief, and had gone to Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up all hope of recovery, she
was persuaded by a friend to take DIR.
