A NOVEL BODICE.

A novel bodice of shot silk in green
and red has white satin collar, with
bow at the back and frill of the silk
above. The back is quite plain, with
two side plaits meeting at the waist
line and commencing in the shoulder
seam next the collar, and the front is
decorated with handkerchief points of
fine white muslin patterned with pink
roses and finished with edging and in
sertions of cream lace. The simple
dress of grass lawn is made over white
batiste and trimmed with rushes of
narrow lace set close together on the
waist and edging the narrow rufae,
while the wide belt of black satin
makes an otherwise simple dress very
stylish. A wide black satin collar,
edged with silver sequines, is the fea-
ture of the next model, which is car
ried out in fawn canvas over pink silk.
Green canvas over pale-blue silk is the
next gown, and the bodice is trimmed
with embroidered lawn and lace,
which form a fichu. Silky grass lawn
over pea.green silk makes charming
dress, with tucked sleeves and bodice
of green chine silk, fowered with pink
roses and trimmed with batiste en-
broidery worked in colors. A gold
enameled belt is worn with this.

A FEW WORDS ON sPoNeY cURD.


All cheese makers are troubled with
spongy curd, and there is no definite
knowledge as to how it can prevented.
According to some recent experim ents
by F. ]. Lloyd, of the Bath and West
of England Agricultural Society,it ap.
pears that he has been able to define
at least five different organisms which
will bring about this condition in
cheese. One of them produces the
fecal taint 80 often found in curd, and
three have been found in water pol
luted with sewage from dwelling
houses, OF by the droppings of COWS.
AS no ordinary amount of care on the
part of mixers can prevent such or.
ganisms from coming into the milk
when they have become lodged on the
bodies OF the COWS, it is evident that
one step to be taken is to prevent eni-
mails from drinking from streams in
which they walk and the water of
which becomes contaminated. An
other very important point to be re.
membered with reference to the or.
ganisms which produce spongy curd
is that they can be conveyed through
the medium of poultry, as they have
been found in the droppings of 10th
cattle and fowls. In view of this, Mr..
Lloyd considers it desirable to prevent
poultry coming nearer the dairy than
is inevitable, nor should they be per-
mitted to run about in close pro1im-
ity to the milking utensils which, af.
ter cleaning, have been put out to dry.
These organisms, as a rule, prevent
the development of acidity of the curd,
SO that whenever they are present IN
the milk, the cheese takes much long
er to make than it would otherwise.
A common belief among cheese max
ers that the sailing of the curd checks
the formation of acidity, is described
as being entirely erroneous.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

A woMAN's ARM.

81 find great diff iculty in getting q
model with good arms" said we'll
known sculptor recently. "It is as
tonishing how very few women have
arms that conform to the standard. A
perfect arm measured from the arm
pit to the wrist Joint should be twice
the length of the head. The upper
part Of the arm should be large, full
and we'll rounded. The forearm must
not lie too fiat, not nearly 80 fat as a
mans, for example. A dimple at the
elbow adds beauty to a well-propor-
toned arm.
"From well-molded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long. grace
full curves to a symmetrical and round.
ed wrist. It is better to have an arm
that harmonizes even if the parts do
not follow the generally accepted
lines. For instance, a full, round up
per arm which is joined to a fiat or
thin forearm has very bad effect. 1t
is only degree worse, however, than
q graceful, well-molded forearm tackled
on to thin, scrawny upper arm.
CORRECTNESS of form is not the only
thing necessary for good arm. The
owner must possess the power of ex-
preston in her arms. As q general
thing American women are deficient IN
this. Those nationalities which show
the most expression in their arms are
the Spanish, French and Italians.
The warmest admirer of Sarah Bern
hardt would not claim that she had
beautiful arms, yet no one can say

TREES FOR PLANTING.

Generally all things considered two
year.old trees are best for planting,
and this applies to nearly, or quite all
kinds of fruit trees, especially. Select
those with straight stems, smooth,
healthy looking tops, with plenty of
small fbrous roots. Be sure that they
have entirely shed their leaves.
Trees on which the leaves remain
after the first frosts set in and stick to
the branches in the spring may be
safely regarded as unhealthy.
In taking up it is quite an item to
secure all of the roots possible, and
not to bruise or injure in any way.
The roots are of more importance
than the top, as with plenty of good
healthy roots a strong vigorous top
can readily be grown. But in all
cases the tops must be cut back in
proportion to the roots.
All of the bruised or injured roots
should be cut off with a long sloping
cut. Then the tops can be cut back
in the same proportion. In cutting
back the top all crossing and crooked
limbs should be cut out.
The best tree is straight stem with
the limbs branching of at regular in
tervals. Cut back so as to secure a
low spreading head. With fruit
trees, at least, it is of no possible ad-
vantage to have them tall. A tall
tlee gives more purchase to the wind
and the fruit is more easily blown off
and harder to harvest, while q low
spreading head protects the stem from
the sun, shades the ground more thor
oughly, SO that the tree suffers less
from drouth.
It is important to use care in the
selection OF the trees, as when set out
and properly cared for they will re-
main long time, and when the work
and trouble necessary until they come
into bearing is considered, it is worth

Wonderful Freak Of Nature.

Among the many wonderful freaks
in nature there can be none in the
geological line that can possibly excel
that known as "The Giants Head. |"
It stands, or rather reclines, against
the face of the cliff at Point Pinos, in
Monterey County, California, and all
who have viewed the wonder declare
it to be the most colossal as we'll as the
most marvellous freak in natural sculp-
ture IN existence. All portions OF the
"head" except the back (which ap-
pears to be "blocked" into the meta
morphic rocks against which it seems
to be so naturally reclining), are as
perfect as though fresh from the
hands of some giant sculptor. The
chin, mouth, nose, eyes and brow are
all perfect, as is also the hair.

FASHION NOTES.

Rainy weather gowns should reach
only to the ankles and be dark IN
color.
The blue and white bedroom is the
quaintest and coolest apartment i'm
aginable.
Some trimmings combine tulle, honi'
ton, Jet and fur and are corresponding
ly expensive.
Colored candles that show two
twisted tones are in great favor for
table decorations.
Novel and pretty fichus of heavy
guipure lace are made with the back
like sailor collar, fiat oblong epau-
lettes on the shoulders. and straight
scarf ends that reach half the length
of the skirt when tied.
The favorite sleeve of the season
combines short puff with mousque-
taire fullness to the wrist. Although
the severe coat sleeve is predicted for
early fall, it has go far been seen only
in conjunction with few plain tailor
gowns.
Crepe de chine is also much in de.
mand and is seen more often than any
other one fabric. Its comparative
chespness brings it within reach OF
greater number of admirers than are
able to indulge in the more costly
painted material.
Black mousseline de sole with de-
sign IN flowers painted at intervals
over the surface, is Partisan e1trava-
gance of the hour. Either black or
colored glace silk makes the lining,
but the former is preferred, as form
ing a more perfect background.
Rich Persian silk vests will be worn
with stylish white costumes of English
serge etamine, mohair, pique, and
canvas. Narrow white leather belts
with gold buckles are worn with white
yachting suits of alpaca, trimmed with
white silk braid, with piping of fine
gold braid showing each side.
There is for the moment q great
liking for the bird OF Paradise plum
age, and on very expensive imported
hats the entire bird appears. Even
the plumage, however, OF this bird is
costly, and there are really more i'm.
itations of the gracefully archlng
feathers than of the real upon hats OF
medium price.
The coat and skirt gown of butch
ers' blue linen, faced on the edge with
butter. .colored batiste, caught with
crosswise lines OF tiny gold buttons
set in at intervals, is charming sum-
mer dress. The coat with an Eton
front and basque frill in the back is
pretty for this, worn with white
tulle vest and a gold belt.
Evening bodices are no longer
round. Imported models have points
front and back and are trimmed with
profuslon of tulle around the low
cut neck, with sleeves composed en-
tirely of the same diaphanous favorite.
The prevailing style is not unlike o
ballet dancers skirt, being composed
of frill on frill, falling over the shoul
der point.
