Evening dresses are not cut quite 50
low on the shoulder as before, and the
sleeves are either very small or very
long and transparent, fitting the arm
like a glove and falling over the hand.
White lawn, very sheer and fine, Is
much used for blouse waists made with
a yoke Of alternate rows of lace and en-
broidered insertion. They are pretty
to wear hot days with linen or pique
skirts.
Skirts are finished in various ways at
the bottom; many cling to the long
used velveteen binding, because Of It's
durability, and use It on all sorts Of
gowns, though for finer gowns good
dressmakers use a wide braid of silk or
worsted. Bindings with a cord finish
are much used. and If the quality is
good they wear well.
Cotton gowns of all sorts are prettier
than ever this season. Ginghams and
chambrays are trimmed with rufiies Of
white braid and wide collars made of
alternate stripes of white batiste or
swiss muslin and insertion edged with
lace; organizes have innumerable
tucks tiny ruchos and frillings Of satin
ribbon. They say the fail gowns are to
be trimmed with fringe. but except r
very narrow variety it has not appeared

Rirhts Of a Married Woman.

Adeclslonof the Supreme Court Of In
diana in the case Of William E. Heal
against the Niagara OIL Company es-
tablishes the precedent that married
woman can lease her land for the pur-
pose Of prospecting for oil so as to give
the lessee the exclusive right to drill
wells for the purpose without her hus-
band joining in the lease.
The court says that a lease Of this
character, as far as 1t conveys such a
right for short time, grants only
temporary use Of the land, but init
mates that the oil company's right to
hold the land for the purpose Of taking
oil out Of the wells It might drill would
be doubtful.

THAT BABY BOY.


Who opcs his eyes at early dawn
Without a word or sleepy yawn,
As does the deer and spotted fawn?
That baby boy.
Who wants to get right out Of bed,
And, in word, wants TO be fed,
Regarding not a thing that's said?
That baby boy.
Who wears his mothers patience out,
As well as many a willow sprout,
And shoes and stockings good and stout?
That baby boy.
Who breaks and tears and pulls and hauls,
Who burns the dog, the kittie mauls,
Who makes black marks upon the walls ?
That baby boy.
Who eats and thrivos on mud and dirt,
And makes a towel of his skirt2
Who bawls when he's more scared than
hurt?
That baby boy.
Who rules the house as does a king,
And fairly makes the welkin ring
With shouts and vain attempts to sing?
That baby boy.
Who in his way is better far
Than either OF his parents are,
Who ofttimes threaten they will mar
That baby boy.
Who is so bad and yet so good?
Whose naughty ways are understood,
And we forgive as others should?
That baby boy.

and the restoration to usefulness of both
the feet operated upon. The feet healed
slowly after the operation, but very
steadily and without unpleasant COM
plications. The operation was perform

a half the patient danced all night and
experienced no inconvenience whatever
on account of having only one toe ON
each foot. She rides wheel, plays ten

her age are fond Of The cause Of the
trouble was originally chilblains, which
was neglected until it produced con-

intense pain, which was at times so
severe that she could not enjoy the
necessary amount Of sleep. Surgeons are
OF the opinion that great deal Of need
less suffering Is endured which might
be relieved by extremely simple opera

Art of Making a Mustard Plaster.

To put on mustard plaster is not at
all difficult, but TO do it in the best wav
requires some care and skill. In the
first place, remember never to give a
cold mustard plaster to patient To a
weak or sensitive person the shock is
often great. Either mix with very hot
water, or. better still, have plate put
where it can get warm while you are
mixing Having everything ready at
hand, mustard, flour and spoonful of
molasses, with bit of old muslin or
liDen-an old handkerchief is the best
thing for the purpose. Stir the mustard
and flour together first, making the
plaster stronger or weaker with mus.
tard as you have been directed. Add
the molasses and then the water until
the smooth mass is about as thick az
porridge or poultice. Spread your cloth
on the warm plate, using the middle
portion of the linen and leaving mar.
gin on all sides, which is to be folded
back at the edges. Put second cloth
over the whole. so that the mustard il
entirely hid between the two covers and
keep on the plate until it is necessary
to apply the plaster. -Philadelphia
