How to Use Whalebones.

Genuine whalebone is expensive.
There are several patent "Eones" that
are much cheaper and u fair substitute
for the true whaleb0ne, but they can
seldom be used q second time. Whale.
bone will last q long time and may b.
used repeatedly. Whalebone casing costs
but a small amount and is much better
than any cases that can be prepared
from the waist lining. Purchase 1t by
the piece. One piece will be- sufficient
for lining several bodices. Ont the bones
the proper length. which depends on the
figure. a
Most dressmakers soak their whale
bones "a hours before sewing them in.
This is to make them soft and flexibl"
in order to sew them through to the
waiat ut the top. in the center and once
or twice more. This prevents the bones
slipping out Of place. Cover tho seams
with silk and cotton tape that comes
for the purpose of casing. Do not use
the double casing. Put the castings on
quite full go that they have wrinkled
effect, when the bones are slipped in
and sewed in place afterward. Remem-
Der to let the bones and casing for tho
darts extend fully to the top of these
darts, but do not tack them higher than
two inches from the top Cover the

mot long ago the Ice was 60 thin and
clear that the skating boys would scare up

fish were completely tired out. Then the

4 Plan Has Been Discussed to Build High
ways at the States Expense.
Good roads came in for considerable
discussion ut the session of the Vermont
legislature recently ended. DR.. w. Sew
ard Webb proposed q plan for develop
ing the state by means Of state high
ways. ii. .5l>-..~.. s1 r y.
In general way. his project provides
for the construction by the state Of an
elaborate system of highways. PERSON.
familiar with the topography OF Yer
mont will recall the fact that extend.
ing lengthwise nearly north and south
through tho state are two ranges OF
hills, or mountains. and practically
three valleys. DR.. Webb proposes to run
q broad state highway through: each of
the three valleys and connect these high
ways with as many lateral roads as may
be found necessary.
This work will, Of course, cost large
amount of money. The scheme involves
the bonding Of the state to pay the ex.
penses Of Improvement. The plan has
not yet been matured, but those who
have studied it feel confident that It
will appeal to the business sense Of the
people -.2 1 ..s I'M
Inaccessibility has always stood In the
way Of the commercial growth of many
fertile and resourceful sections OF the
state. The state highway idea is likely
to be a leading topic Of discussion in
the next legislature. ..@l

The vital question is for the farmers
themselves to settle generally whether
they want good roads and whether they
will accept the help of those who are
willing and anxious to join in paying
the cost of road Improvement. II they
will take up the subject in all their or
ganizations and appoint active working
committees to visit the nearest accessi-
BILE localities where good roads prevail
and to urge such legislation as will
make them attainable everywhere, the
work will soon reach q point where it
