For Long Necks.

It is no longer fashionable to have
any trimming at the back Of the col
lar, but women who have long necks,
or whose necks are beginning to look
thin, find it is a great advantage to
tie piece of tulle around the neck
with a bow at the back. This gives
a pretty finish to stiff ribbon stock
collar, and is almost invariably be-
coming. Only white or black tnlle
should be used. For evening the same
thing is often seen worn even with a
ieweled collar or a handsome neck
lace. and it seems to soften any hard
lines in most satisfactory fashion.
Boas and ruches worn around the neck
are very soft, but not very full unless
intended for quite cool weather. A
pretty one is made Of Liberty satin OF
chiffon trimmed with bands Of wnite
lace and with 4 little pleated edge OF
chiffon. This fastens at the throat and
has long ends edged with lace that
hang down over the front Of the
gown.-Hafpers BaG8r.

Odds and Ends of Fashions.

The newest thing in bodices includes
"spencers. They are made Of lace
particularly the old Irish point. Other
Iaces in demand are black Chantilly
and old Greek laces. Buttons are to
have a revival. Triangle and lozenge-
shaped buttons made Of malachite,
iade and initiation rubies are popular.
There are also silk ones covered with
applique. But the fancy of the mo-
ment Is for gold buttons, particularly
on waistcoats. Old hunt buttons are
much sought after and command high
Drices. A novel amulet consists of
two silver trinkets, one bust Of Cry
ano de Bergerac and the other an ca
Gle holding Napoleon's hat. They are
united by thin twisted metal pin.

Fall Couture.

The arrangement Of the hair at the
back for evening wear requires that
it shall be always pushed as fer for
ward as possible straight up from the
name Of the neck to above the crown
Of the head, but it is then pulled
down again so that the soft waves
will show. The ears are almost hid
den by this arrangement Of hair.
There is a part sometimes at one side
Of the head, or just in the middle, and
then the hair is pulled down On either
side Of the part so that it looks full
and soft, and, Of course, thick. This
fashion Of soft, full hair IS, as a rule,
more becoming than more severe
style, but the trouble is that the hair
requires to be kept in most perfect or
der. 1t must be well brushed and
washed often, and always well
combed, otherwise it looks untldy, and
an untidy head Is more questionable
now than ever was known before.
Glossy, well-brushed locks with q
slight wave through them make every
woman look we'll, but mass Of hair
all ruffled up and looking as though
rats had been in it is most untidy
way of arranging the hair. 1t IS un
becoming and not in the least smart

Geese Are Clean Birds.

In an interview Mr.. Renager, the
Kentucky geese raiser, gave the fol-
lowing interesting facts regarding
geese and their habits:
"a goose IS the cleanest fowl alive.
I have been In the poultry business
since 1871, have handled all kinds Of
domestic fowl, and have studied their
habits closely. They are constantly
at work keeping their feathers clean
and if furnished with plenty of water
they are never seen e1seept when fit
for dress parade.
"They are equally as careful regard
ing their food. On one occasion we
bought q lot of corn which had grown
musty, and the geese would not eat
the dough made from it., Nor will
they eat dough after it has soured.
On this account we have to be very
careful to mix up no more dough than
the geese will eat in day.
Another thing peculiar about geese
is that they eat great deal more some
days than they do on others. For in
stance, it frequently requires thirty or
forty buckets Of dough a day to
given pen Of geese. Then for few
days they will probably eat not more
than a dozen buckets" = Southern
Farmer.

Fashionable Jewelry.

More jewelry than ever IS being
worn. Perhaps the outlines Of the
modern French bijouterie are rather
barbaric in tendency, but how deli
cately fine and raisonne is the work
manship, which softens the freedom
of the original conception and per-
fects each detail with minutest skill!
To realize this one must have close
ly examined the jewelry exhibits at
the Paris Exposition. The lead Of the
great French jeweler, Lalique-that
most modest artist, who has reyolu-
tionized all modes in jewelry for the
moment - has been freely followed,
perhaps too freely, for there has
sprung up series Of imitators, who
are far from achieving the result that
their originator has realized. But the
result is that gold and silver in many
shades and enamel CT most enhancing
hues have taken the place to great
extent Of the precious stonec. especial
ly in ornaments for day Tear.

7soo and 1900 Fashions.

It was noticeable during the sum-

that there was distinct resemblance
between the fashions of the past sum-
mer and those depicted in the pictures
of Reynolds, GainsborOugh, Lawrence
and Romney. 4 large proportion OF
the muslin gowns were finished SIM
Div by a soft fchu around the shoul-
ders, leaving the neck bare. A mar,

of pearls encircled the throat. Sleeves
were close-6tting or else bell-shaped
to the elbow, with transparent under
sleeves, such as will be found in any
old chest Of 1900 dresses.

GIRL ART STUDENTS IN PARIS.
Some Facts About Their Experiences and
Expense Accounts.

"The average girl art student in
Paris lives about as quiet a life as the
American college girl" says Maude
Andrews in the Woman's Home Com
panion, writing from her own expert
ence Of THE American Girl Artist in
Paris" "The tuition at the schools
ranges in price from seven to fourteen
dollars a month, but the price Of an
artists materials cannot be estimated,
for these are the items that make
the study of art appallingly expensive.
If an artist needs certain paints, she
cannot stop to consider If others
wouldn't do as we'll, or If she couldn't
get on with less, as she considers the
purchase Of remnants at bargain
counter The paint must be had at any
cost, and that is why girl artists often
look as hungry and seedy as the Mar
chioness when first discovered by Dick
Swiveller. 1t is safe to say that no
girl ought to come to Paris to study
art unless she has an assured allow
ance Of fifty dollars a month, and this
amount will just about enable her to
meet the expenses Of daily living, tut
ton and materials. A great deal has
been said about the folly Of American
girls coming to Paris on limited means,
but the impracticability of such ven
ture lies not so much in this drawback
as in the pose and lack of practical
sense in many Of the art students them
selves. The one great pose in art is
the scorn Of pot-boling. Most young
artists, for instance, consider 1t to
be degradation of their art to turn
their talents toward illustration,
whereas it Is one Of the most remuner-
atiYe things an artist can do. 1t may
be said very truly that no poor girl
should come to Paris to study art un-
less she is willing to turn her ability
in the direction Of pot-boiling now and
then, in order to supplement her allow
ance. There are so many needs for
money in Paris. 1t is veritable Circe
Df cities that changes its lovers not into
swine, but into the most enchanting
butterflies, if there is only a little ex-
ira money to be had for dress. a girl
who is very poor and cannot make
little pin-money often gets rather hope
less and depressed, for there is moth
ing so forlorn in Paris as shabby at
tire"

Thinning Fruit to XIII Insects.

Thinning Fruit to htll IDseciE.
In thinning out the fruit in the or
chard during summer growth the TO-
liage and fruit left on the trees are
not only benefited, but the general
health Of the trees also. In my own
experience I have found that this
practice when jUdiciousIy followed
has a distinct benefit upon the health
Of the trees, and heCce enables them
to withstand the ravageS from insects.
This is point that has not been en-
phasiZed much, but if you go into any
orchard where thinning out is prac-
ticed you will find that insects are
less destructive than IN another where
tie let-alone method is adopted. The
insects are destroyed by this process
in two ways. When you make trees
grow vigorously and thriftily you
make them less susceptible to disease.
Thus the yellows will rarely attack a
peach tree in good condition, nor the
blight and rot appear on apple and
cherry trees that have an iron-like con-
stitution. One way recommended for
combating fruit tree diseases is to fer
tiliZe and cultivate the trees so they
will be strong and healthy. The more
important effect that thinning out
fruits has upon the tree diseases and
insects is in the destruction Of the
larvae Of the insects in the wormy
and immature fruit. Now the larvae
Of the codling moth produces the
worlny fruit on apple trees, and If
these deformed apples are pulled off
in the thinning out process scores of
would-be codling moths will be killed.
The plum curculio produces the wormy
plums and cherries, and by destroying
this immature fruit we kill them.
There are many other injurious worms
and insects that are killed in this i'm
mature fruit, and thus the seasons
crop Of destructive Insects is limited
by just that number. Usually this i'm
mature fruit never amounts to much,
but eventually drops on the ground
and dries up. The insects and worms
then emerge forth and breed q neY
crop.
In thinning out the fruit from any
trees all the undersized, worm-eaten,
deformed and unshapely, fruits should
first be selected when very young.
They should all be destroyed by fire
or some other way so that the larvae
of the insects will not escape. Throw
ing them away or burying them mere
" gives the insects another chance to
grow and mature. 1t is only after the
poor fruit has been destroyed that the
thinning process should be extended
to the better class. Usually it is beS-
ter to thin only a little at time, for
sometimes the fruit with worms in
them do not show any defect Until
quite large. If the thinning out is al
done one does not feel like pulling oft
more fruit toward the end. By lcay-

FIRE BALLS FROM The CLOUDS
These Electric Phenomena Are Rare, But

The storms that have ragged over

a FIRE ball fell into DiddoD reser-

loud, kissing sound. A gigantic foun-
tain was thrown into the air and half
the surface Of the reservoir was ruff
ded for fully five minutes. An ap
palling thunderclap followed. The
smell Of sulphur was so strong that
the caretaker and his family could
scarcely breathe.
The fire ball which wrecked the vii
lage Of Stoke Doyle, near Aundle, is
