The right-front is also extended to
form the rever which is faced silk
overlaid with passementerie Below
the rever the closing is effected by
means Of buttons and button-holes.
The sleeves are two-seamed and fit
pnugly after the latest style and the
neck is finished with the straight
standing collar only. With the basque
is worn one Of the early spring hats
that serves to exemplify prevailing
styles. The rough straw is black and
the mousseline de sole, which is ar
ranged in the Spanish comb style with
an edge of fine straw, is in the same
polor as is also the satin ribbon which
forms the bows. But the touch OF
brillancy given by the flowers in Tan
gerine-yellow lightens and brightens
the whole.
To make this basque for lady in
the medium size will require two and
pne-half yards of forty-four-inch ma
terial.

The single rever that is the latest inno-
kstion and makes feature of early
spring styles. As illustrated, the ma
terial is light weight zibeline in soft
castor shade, but cheviot, covert cloth,
poplin and all the new materials are
equally suitable. The backs are
scanned at the centre, and fitted with
curving side backs, which render the
adjustment snug and tend to give a
ilender effect, while double under-arm
kores connect them with the fronts.
The latter are eddy means of dou-
ble-bust darts which are curved to re-
luce the apparent size of the waist

Velvet to Reign.

Lady Violet Greville, whose tips on
the fashions are always accepted as
gospel, writes from Paris saying that
velvet will reign supreme in the fash
ionable world. She says. "velvet in
every style, shape and color, black,
cornfower blue, sapphire, silver, gray
shot with gold, and host of other
startling shades" will lead in the world
of fashion.

Most Popular CoIors.

The most popular colors for the com.
ing season are the porcelain, hyacinth,
turquoise, cadet and sapphire blues, all
the pretty shades of gray and beige,
Russian and emerald greens, and violet
to be used chiefly for contrast in
trimming. Yellow in all the tints from
cream to deep orange will be worn,
and also the pretty deep rose pink.
Light fawns, grays, browns and beiges
are especially in favor just now for the
new cloth gowns made for early spring
wear, and so is blue and gray mix
ture which is useful in all kinds of
weather.

The backs are snugly fitted to the
figure by means of centre seam and
curving back seams, and the fronts by
means of double bust and under-arm

give the Vatican effect, although
they are gathered in place Of plated,

fulness to form the skirt, the edge of

The sleeves are two-seamed and snug

frills of lace which fall over the hands,

Ladies' House Gown.

Among all the tempting materials
which the spring display has brought
forth, there is nothing shown in
greater variety nor more lovely col
ors than the challies which make such
ideal gowns for home wear. The
tasteful model shown is in gray with
figures in cream-white, made with a
trimming of lace-edged frills, but
combinations without number can be
devised and such materials as cash.

Stone sieds For Winter Work.

The ordinary stone boat has not tilt
enough in front to pass through or
over snow so that il cannot readily be
ised in winter. In place of it many
'armers have devised what they call
snow sled, taking for the runners
ZONE stout pieces of hard wood, il
possible with natural bend in them,
and sufficiently large to fasten sup
ports into, which will make platform
.welve to eighteen inches high. Such
,leds are very convenient for hauling
heavy weights upon, rs they are esily
oaded. On many farms such sleds
ire used in preference to stone boats,
sven during the season when no snow
Is on the ground. They draw more
EASILY over the bare ground than does
he stone boat, and will usually last
ully as long,

Roadside Tree Planting.

The planting Of trees and hedges
along country roads should be en-
souraged. Shade prevents rapid dry
ing of macadam, and hedges break
the force of the. winds which on un-
protected highways blow the dust
away, leaving the stone foundations ex-
posed. This point is urged at length
in road article by Colonel A. A. Pope
in the Outlook. 1t is mistake to as.
sumo that dust is detrimental to
wheeling. On the contrary, it is es-
sential to the preservation Of the road,
and should, If possible, be kept on
the highway, as shower will convert
it into binding material. Trees and
hedges cost little, and money expend-
ed in this way will be offset by de-
creased repairs. This is only a utili-
tartan side of the question. The
attractiveness of the country is en-
HANGED by trees and shrubs. A farm
ing country without shade is not in.
viting, and whatever improves the
roads and adds to the beauty of rural
scenery is worthy of encouragement.
The suggestion is deserving of consid-
Grafton by town councils, because it is
suggestive of decreased cost in road
maintenance and higher values of
property. The city man looking for a
summer home in the countryis certain
to note the difference between farm
bordered by trees and one that is bar
rem of shade. It is not difficult to
predict which willibe his CHOICE

water Over Underdrains.

1t sometimes happens when severe
.old comes before snow and rain that
The ground freezes so hard over drained
and that when the snow is melted the
surplus water cannot at once make its
way to the drain beneath. Sometimes
IN winter these sheets of water will be
frozen over, during some cold spell,
and while thus covered with ice, the
water beneath it will find its way
through the tiles and disappear. No
harm comes to grass land thus left
severed with ice for two or three days.
But winter wheat is sometimes winter
killed by ice on the edges of the pond,
where the freezing of the water catches
the wheat plant in its icy embrace, and
often snaps the stem whereit is joined
TO the root at the surface of the ground.
