John Green is, one of the most
progressive fafmcrs in this locality.
Last season he demonstrated to his
own satisfaction that farming pays in
Villas county. He believes that al
most any thing can be raised here that
can be raised any where in tho state
and is continually experimenting to
prove it. That this county is alright
for small grains, vegetables and stock
raising lie has proved beyond a doubt.
Last year he made up his mind that
fruit raising would be all right here
and determined to try it. He set out
seventy-fve trees, mostly apple but
some cherry and pear trees and was
40 pleased with the result of the ex-
pertinent that he determined to add to
his orchard and SO this spring he put
1out one hundred mLre trees. He fin
ished setting them out Tuesday.

Rules That Scientific Players VIII
Most Certainly Approye.

The following eight rules. which were
adopted by the third annual congress
of the Amalgamated Female Whist
Players of America. are formulated to
prevent the learner from unintentionally
making the game duh and unlnterest!iII
They should be carefully memorized by
the beginner:
INSTRUMENTATION during play Is lin
tied strictly 10 the weather. fashion. So
ciety, the drama, music, art, sports
the new woman. the last few tricks taken,
and everything else that may tend to
break the firing monotony habitual to the
new players. The success OF the game
depends on this.
Second-Each player should at once
throw out hint as TO the quality of her
hand. her satisfaction or dissatisfaction
with 1t. and her approval or disapproval
OF each play. This Will make you a
popular partner with the men.
Third-A player should never walt TO
lead until the preceding trick is turned
and quilted Delays of this sort are al
ways unnecessary. and make the game
slow.
Fourth--Never fail. ms the second trick
is turned. TO inquire what is trump. Re-
peat the inquiry at short intervals
throughout the hand. This is the
easiest way to fix 1t indelibly in your
memory.
Fifth--Frequently a card should be
played in such a manner as 10 call par

card, and say: NOW, remember, played

This style will be much appreciated by
the young woman who likes TO vary her

feat, making the parasol harmonic with
any gown she chooses to wear by deco

flowers. For instance, a knot Of violets.

COSTLY GARTER CLASPS.
Monogrnms and Miniatures Set In
Jewels Are FavOrite Designs.

French oxidlzed silver is being utilized
| extensively in fashioning the buckles.
| Monograms set in jewels in the buckles,
| mock or real. are still the style. The mini
ature craze is extending to garter buckles
| and it is not unusual to see the face OF
| Josephine, or some other celebrity OF the
Empire reign, on the garter buckle. An
economic buckle is one which has two
slides and a groove through which rib
bon may be inserted. These ends are
brought together and tied in bow knot.
Its clasps are OF silver. and on a gray
elastic may be subjected TO color treat
ment by fastening with ribbons which
match every pair OF stockings. All garters
are adorned with huge bow as well as
the elaborate buckle. Elastic webbing
used for garters Is not more than a quar-
ter of an inch broad, but a fiuted ruiile OF
the same width on either side gives the
appearance OF breadth. American women
were slow To receive the colored lingerie
Of France, but now the hosiery of the
season is infinitely more obtrusiye than
that of the Parisienne.
Fashion has decreed that plaid shall be
worn, at least so far as skirts 20. One rea-
son for this Is the number of beautiful de-
signs shown by the weayers; they are
much too rich and attractive TO be set
aside.
There are few figures which can wear
a bodice made OF plaid and look Ike any
thing save a conglomeration. But the skirt
Is a different matter. There is an air OF
distinction about a handsome plaid skirt
and plain colored bodice which Is very
fetching.
In the shops are made-up skirts OF plaid.
