lirgly new about the first display of
waists. For the most part they are made
OF fine ginghams and cheviots III delicate
cOlOrings, and are somewhat less fancy
in design than those of last year. Most
of the materials are striped either YER
tically or in Bayudere effect. White
waists promise to find even greater favor
than formerly, and some of the shirt
waist girls have already declared their
intention of wearing no other.
The white waist certainly has some adj
vantages. It does not fade and as a rule
takes starch we'll, which those made of
too soft ginghams refuse to do. On the
other hand, white is not so becoming gen-
orally as some of the soft shades and it
is especially trying in thick cotton goods,
such as are used i'll the swell waist.
Most women who, last season, tried
shirtwaists made Of washable silk, say
that they will never wear cotton ones
again. The silk waists seem extrava-
CANT to one who looks no further than
first cost. But such silk wears at least
three seasons and does not fade in the
least. Added to this, it has the merit of
being soft, cool and becoming, and is to
BE- had in the most exquisite colorngs.
The plain silks make quite dressy waists,
while those that are striped have no end

The Leaf of Young Grain.

There is much difference in the
breadth. size and color Of leaf in young
grain as it comes up. 1t is partly DEEPEN
den: OH the character OF the seed, as
the plant sends up its first leaves mainly
from the sturchy matter which encloses
the germ and which the germ uses until
it is able to put forth roots into the soil.
Barley, being larger and heavier than
oats has always a broader leaf. though
if oats are sown on rich land and some
what late they will come up with IL leaf
that looks like barley. But this rank
growth early is not regarded favorably
by the cultivator. for he knows that it
is liable to be followed by rust of stalk
or grain later in the season. Narrowing
grain that comes up with too small and
thin Il leaf bruises these first leaves, and
as it also stimulates root growth it
causes the plant to send up new shoots
with much broader leaves. This dries
out the soil, thus preventing the excess
sive growth later that invites rust

MedilI's Sense of Justice.

The strongest trait in, the character of
the late Mr.. Medill Of the Chicago Trib-
une was his sense Of justice. An old
man in his service had been dis
charged by th%ahead of the department
in which he was employed. The old man
bought stand, u few lemons and some
sugar and opened a lemonade stand in
front of the elevator entrance of the
building. He had been there two days
before Mr.. Medill saw him. Mr.. Medill
bought a glass of the old mans lemon
ade, and after he had tasted it, asked:
What are you doing here?'
Making lemonade was the reply.
"Why are you not at work?'
II have been discharged"
"Yon will have to go to work again.
You can't make lemonade.'
Mr.. Medill was too much of disciplin-
arian to go over the head of depart
ment without good reason. He did not
reinstate the old employe, but gave him
work in another department, and he still
has the job.
