The gown consists of an overdress of
fine organdie, so delicate that it looks
like a mist. This is worn over lining
of thin silk which is itself lined with
Oriental blue silk. The organdie and
white silk being partly transparent,
the blue casts a tint to the gown that
is indescribable. The front of the skirt
is embroidered with white ribbon,
while the sides and back are covered
with vertical ruffles of narrow, Valen-
ciennes lace. The bodice has yoke
of guipure from which turn back re-
vers trimmed with lace ruffles. The
belt is OF white ribbon and fastens in
visibly at the back without loops or
ends.

Decidedly original are the lines Of
the skirt, which is Of circular shaping.
The novel feature Of the mode is the
ripping circular ruffie that outlines an
oval panel at each side. The fullness
at the back is folded in an under box
plat. One Of the fancy lace cravats or
scarfs may replace the stock of the
shirt waist, which may be made of silk.
soft woolens or washable fabrics. A
neat device for skirt of novelty goods
made up by the mode is to line the
ruff1es with plain silk of some con-
trasting shade. The jaunty hat is
picturesquely and becomingly trimmed.

AMERICAN POTTERY.
The souwelsa Is Almost as Lovely as
Lockwood.


Lockwood.
American pottery has few peers in
these days Of Souwelsa and lockwood
and the pale, pearly, exquisitely tinted
glaze ware shown in such graceful de-
signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser The Souwelsa is first eou-
sin to Rookwood, but poor relation
as It costs about half as much as do
the symphonies in polished green's and
browns. 1t has the same finish, the
same designs and tones, but seems to
lack the richness of lockwood, al
though the difference would not be per-
ceptible to the person perfectly sane
on the question of bric-a-brac. The
enthusiast can tell the difference in
the dark, she says. The pale-tinted
American pottery is highly polished
and the flowers Of the decoration seem
to bloom mistily through the glaze, like
flowers seen through frosty window
pane. A high-shouldered Jar Of this
ware is softly shaded from palest blue
at the top, where it forms a back
ground for a graceful rose-hued iris,
the long, pale green stems of which
stand out deiicately against the misty
gray below.

Capt. G. P. Farrell, captain and as
sistant surgeon of the First California
volunteers, who travelled all over Luzon
last October, found that the one topic
of conversation among the Filipinos
at the time was the coming fight with
the Americans. "They seemed" he
says, ito regard it as inevitable, and
were not disposed to avoid 1t; even the
little boys were marching up and down
the streets and being drilled, and l
never saw more military enthusiasm in
any country" The truth is the Philip
pines were bought by the United States
without adequate information as to the
character and intentions of the inhab-
itants. Even Gen. Merritt was so de-
ceived that he gave it as his opinion
that the Filipinos could not be induced
to fight. He looked upon them as chill
dren who could be easily managed.

TIP Burn or scald.

This disease of potato leaves occurs
in many parts Of the country and Is Of
ten confused with early blight. The
tips and edges OF the leaves turn
brown. and these discolored areas soon
become hard and brittle.
The burning or scaldlng may occur
at any time and as n rule is the result
of unfavorable conditions surrounding
the plant. Long continued cloudy and
damp weather followed by several hot
and bright days Is very apt to result in
the burning OF the foliage. This IN es-
pecially the case on soils carrying "A
comparatively small percentage OF
moisture. When the weather is cloudy
and damp, the tissues Of the potato
become gorged with water. and this
has n tendency to weaken them. III
the sun appears bright and hot when
the leaves are In this condition. there
is rapid evaporation OF the moisture
stored up In their cells. The evapora-
tion may be faster than the supply
furnished by the roots, and II this con.
tlnues for any length OF time the weak
er and more tender parts first collapse.
then die and finally turn brown and
dry up. Tip burn may also occur as
the result of protracted dry weather
Every effort should be made TO keep
the plants In good growing condition,
for IL they become checked through
lack OF proper food or cultivation or
both they are more apt to burn. 1t Is
n fact that where the bordeaux mix
ture is used for other diseases burn Is
less apt TO occur.

They always interfere with the late

ways important and sometimes neces-
sary IL there is n dry time late In sum
mer. Now that most farmers cultivate
hoed crops very shallow late In the
summer, merely scratching the surface
to kill weeds while they are small,
there is less objection 10 late cultiva-
tion than used to be the case. In the
old days. when IA plow was used at the
last cultivation to pile the soil up
against the hills of corn or potatoes.
the result was always injury and often
ruin 10 the crop. In such case, too.
there was little chance for turnlps 10
grow, as the soil piled up against the
hills turned the water into the middle
OF the rows, or. rather the corn leaves
themselves did so. as they bend over
to the middle OF the rows by July and
often In June. turning the slightest
shower into the middle OF the row,
where most OF the corn roots are. Tn
