where it may be laid in folds or gath
ers.
The coat in the suit mentioned has a
very short position in the back, and
the jacket rounds off to 1t. In front
it is finished in true tailor style and
has revers and collar, and this, find
is made so that it can be worn up or
down. as the lady owner may wish.
The sleeves are rather close coat shape,
and have deep turned up cuffs.
The whole coat is lined with the
same and the revers and collar are
or coat is so arranged that it can be
worn open or closed, and it therefore
requires a vest This may be any
thing that the lady likes best. but the
unities would demand vest front Of
white silk or satin, fun or snug, or it
could be worn over regular waist,
but in such a case the waist should he
white if possible, as the style of these
silk suits demands that they should be
only in black and white.
The other special suit was very near
ly the same as to the skirt, but the coat
was longer on the hips and had flap
pockets and deep cuffs, and all these
were embroidered closely with very
fine and exquisitely neat pattern in
faint colors and with a little silver
thread. This coat hung open in front
over a long vest of white satin. and
along the edges of this were rows of
this embroidery. one on each side Of
the seams 1t buttoned from top to
bottom with tiny gold buttons. The
collar and deep cuff, as well as the
shape. gave a faint reminder of the
Louis somebody style. l may remark
that the whole coat was as stiff as
featherbone and buckram could make
it. The skirt is as plain as hands can
bring ii. and in that lies the style.
The illustration shows how some of
the cloth and Venetian suits are made.
and the difference between the way
they are designed and the silk suits
Is very small. OLIVE HARPER

FOR
THE BABY.


ed. is the advice OF DR.. w. III. Hunt of
the Mothers and Babies hospital in
New York. Babies do not die of heat;
they die because parents fail to keep
the bottles and cooking utensils abso,
lutely clean and because the milk Is of
ten bad. Babies die of neglect, not of
heat. The baby well cared for will en-
dure greater heat than an adult.
Putrefaction is always easier in sum.
mer. Germs multiply In the heat. If
the dishes and bottles are not very
clean or if the milk is not pure and
sweet, the baby is poisoned by germs.
That is why so many little ones die of
intestinal troubles. The babys food
should not be essentially different In
summer Milk is the best food, but the
various infants foods may be given as
usual. Cleanliness is the great watch.

health in the summer.

Local Matters.
STARTING IN EARLY.
Options Already Being Asked on Next Years
Timber Cut.

Options are already being asked for
next years timber cut from some OF
the largest owners of cumberland adj
iaccnt to the Kennebec. There is not a
general demand but in one or Two cases
the options have been asked.
From a recent conversation with one
of the largest cumberland owners on
the Kennebec it was learned that the
people asking the options are not the
owners of pulp mills but men who are
planning to use the spruce for other pur-
poses, probably for building
The demand at this particular time
is something unusual In a few cases
the contractors are beginning to send
a part Of their crews out of the woods.
Nearly every train from the up river
districts brings in from one to half a
dozen men who have been confined in
the woods all winter. This means that
the yarding is beginning to draw to a
close. and from this time on the work
" the lumbermen will be to haul to
the landings.
BY this it is shown that even before
the present years growth is taken care
of, the demand for the cut OF next
year has commenced.
mills on the river in speaking of the
matter recently said that as far as he
knew none of the pulp mill owners
had yet commenced to think of asking
options on next years timber.
There is one notable thing and that
Is that the demand is almost wholly
for spruce instead of pine. That
goes to show" said o1e Of the timber
land operators, that Maine may lose
her name of being the Pine Tree
State" Continuing. the timberland
owner said that what little pine is
cut is used in dimension stuffs.
He then went on TO say that there
has been a remarkable falling off in
the uses of pine Formerly pine en-
tered very largely into the cOnstruc-
ton of nearly every building. But the
pine is being replaced by other woods.
This, one of the contractors said, is
due to the fact that the southern
woods give less trouble and make a
prettier finish.
Attention was also called to the fall
ing off in the demand of the pine for
masts of ships. a few years ago there
was one lot in the county that had
an unusual number of trees that We're
worth thousands of dollars for shin
masts. The owners of the lot held
onto the timberland and when it was
finally sold it was at a great discount
on the price that had formerly been
offered, this falling off in value be-
ing due to the use Of Southern pine for
masts instead of Maine pine.
But to get back to the matter of the
demand at this time of the year for
next years timber cut. one of the
contractors in speaking of the matter
said that in his opinion it is caused by
the good prospects of next years
building season. The prices Of ma
terials are no less but there is a
Willingness on the part of certain
contractors to take contracts for work.
There is. in addition, a great deal of
talk in all parts of the State of erect
ing new buildings. Combining the
two, the contractor could find a reason
why the timberland owners should be
asked to give options on the timber
cut of next year, even before this
years cut comes down the rivers to the
mills.
