Decided originality is shown by
many of the frocks now in preparation
for weddings. The first one shown in
the large cut, reproduced from the
New York Evening Sun, is a wedding
gown in white satin. Its long tunic,
reaching clear to the skirt hem, is cut
into series of deep points finished
all around with frillupon frill in white
chiffon. A frilled and killed under
skirt in chiffon is revealed by the
tunic's points. The oorsage consists
of an underblouse in killed chiffon
with bolero of the satin edged with
chiffon frill. ,.~e ~--'.-

which is draped the lace. In this
case, the lace is Brussels of the finest

Agriculture, made up to May /, show the
area under winter wheat In cultivation on
that date to have been about 26, $50, 900
acres, or 1868 900 or 1l.8 per cent. less
than the area estimated to have been sown
last fall. The reduction in acreage in the
principal States, owing to winter killing
aud the ravages OF the Hessian fly, is as
follows: Indiana, 1850 900; Ohio, 969, 900;
Michigan, $1,000: Pennsylvania, 15S,000,
and Illinois, 1877 900 acres. For the area
remaining under cultivation the average
condition on MAY l was $50. While this
average is 60 points above the mean Of the
averages OF the last ten years and has been
exceeded only three times in fifteen years
It must be remembered that the acreage
plowed up or cut for forage, except in
California. where it Is not yet definitely
ascertainable, or otherwise abandoned, has
been entirely eliminated.
Spring plowing is more or less late in
almost every State In which it's condition
is matter OF any special significance.
The only notable exceptions are Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky. Illinois, Kansas, Missouri
and Arkansas. The work already done in
the country at large is estimated at 6S.4
per cent. of tho total contemplated, the
proportion usually done by May l being
about rs per cent. OF the whole. In South
