Gown Worn by Royalty.

oO"iF "oEh ny AsOyatSs
A royal dress which excited great
admiration at the Brussels receptions
was of white damask, brocaded with
sprays OF silver. 1t opened at the side
over a pettfcoat of the richest gold
tissue, literally covered with sparkling
stones. A thick full bordering of white
feather trimming went around the
skirt, and was repeated on the bodice
inside a high Medici collar of gold
guipure, and on the shoulders were
clusters of pl |umes fastened with jewels.
All gems, and diamonds especially, are
strewn about]to produce a glittering eff
feet, which lis exceedingly fashionable.
Nothing is m ore delightful than a black
tulle thus lighted up with b%rilliants,
which makes a costume equally suited
to the frivolous or the serious occa-
sion. 1t is made up over black satin,
and sprays of diamonds should appear
on the bodice. A little diamond dust
strewn over dark hair would almost
convert such a dress into a fancy
representation of the electric light.
Young ladies are wearing gauze de sole
very much. At a smart country house
party lately one was very successful in
white gauze yelled in black and made
up over white taffeta. Clouds of the
finest Chantilly lace were arranged in
cascades on each side of the skirt rath-
er toward the back, and on the low bod
ice this same lace was draped and fes-
TONED, being held in position by
punches of pink geraniums. The corse-
let belt was of geranium silk velvet,
and the sleeves were of white gauze,
with applique of black.

In 1912 trains came in for a time, but
they were not worn to balls. 1t was
thought that trains were suitable only
for on the promenade and for half

This, too, was the period when no
lady felt dressed if she was without a
lace handkerchief held gingerly betwixt
her thumb and first finger. Lace mitts
were in favor. Gloves. from season to
season. were long or short. One of the
cuts shows women in evening dress,
of which one-button gloves are a fea-
ture. 1t will be noticed, without doubt,
that skirts, since the '30s. have length
ened. The %largeness of them, which
the cuts show, was produced in vari-
GUS ways. One was of wearing many
cambria petticoats. another by putting
hair cloth lounces upon silk or wool
foundations; yet another mode was to
to stiffen the ruffles with steel hoops.

me nutrition of an artichoke is in the
form OF sugar in solution, therefore, al
ways ready for use with very little in
ternal preparation on the part of the
eater. They are highly important be-
cause no insect, blight or rust has yet
struck them and the tops make a fod-
DER superior to corn fodder when prop
efly handled. An acre will keep from
twenty to thirty hogs during the fall
ana winter months. The improved
variety is very easy to be eradicated
after once being planted. My plan is
10 keep the hogs in the patch a little
late in the spring, they will take the
last one in the ground. The variety l
grow is the Improved White French.
lheY grow to be about six feet high
md in the fall are covered with vel
low blossom. They grow very COM
pact in the ground, making it very easy
for digging, and often yield as high as
800 bushels per acre. Low black soil,
which is too frosty for corn and many
other crops, is fine land for the arti-
chokes, for freezing will not hurt them.
Before l close / must give my method
of keeping them through the winter, for
this is very important. Last winter l
kept 200 bushels in pits without
scarcely losing a bushel. 1 picked out
a dry spot and shoveled out a pit not
over ten inches deep and about five feet
wide and as long as convenient. l
piled the tubers up to a peak and put q
shallow layer of straw on top to keep
the dirt from rafting through and then
shoveled on dirt not to exceed five
inches deep. If more dirt is put on
they will surely heat and spoil, and if
they freeze it will not injure them in
the least. I will now close trusting
that these words will be of some bene-

Geese and Ducks.

Geese and ducks should lay in Feb

dry and be well Uttered with short
straw or chaff, and do not let them run
out early in the morning, says South
ern Planter. II kept up until 8 o'clock
the layers will generally have laid and
you will thus secure the eggs. If
turned out they will frequently lay any
where about the farm, as they are care
less about their eggs early in the sea-
son. There is money in raising geese
and ducks if the right kind are kept.
Personally, we prefer Toulouse geese
and Pekin ducks. They mature earlier
than other varieties and consequently
sell better.
Easily Built Ice House.-No expens-
i've structure is needed for an ice house,
though where it is an object to have no
wasting away, 1t should be made tight
er than where this does not matter SO
much, writes w. F. Lake in Country
| Gentleman. Slabs from the saw mill
do very nicely for the roof, and the
sides may also be of rough boards.
Where desired, the ice house may be
one corner of the wood shed parti-
toned off, in which ice will keep quite
as well as in a more costly structure.
Even stacking is often resorted to, by
laying down rails for a floor. on which
to stack the blocks compactly. Cover
heavily with some material which is
non-conducting, such as straw, hay,
ETC., finishing the top so as to shed rain,
bracing the sides with boards and rails
to keep covering in position. Care must
be taken in getting at the ice. always to
open at same place and cover up thor
oughly, or some hot day will turn it to
water. In putting in the ice, no mat
ter where it may be. always surround it
with non-conducting material like saw
dust.
