The Military Coat.


A good model to follow for your
cloth gown has the new bodice yclcpt
the military coat This is tlght-ht.
ting, double-breastcd, three-quarter-
length affair. II Is only fastened az
far as the waist. 1t has n distinct
style Of its own, and Is strictly tailor
finished Twenty black velvet fat
tened small buttons are made to ap-
pear az If in groups Of five on account
OF the decoration o. ornamental stitch
ing. From each o. Eve buttons n line
of machine stitching runs 20 point
on the right side, slightly beyond the
middle of the waist. Tha lines Of
machine stitching converge at the
point, making ornamental triangles of
stitching, and in connecting the group
OF five buttons apparently detach them
from the others in line. Below the
waist the long skirts of our military
coat are edged with a double row
OF machine stitching. The designs in
stitching simulate braiding in SOU
taohe, but are considered rather more
novel. The patterned rows of stitch
ing decorate the collar, the coat front
and the gauntlet upturned cuffs. The
cuffs are stitched in rows for almost
their entire height.
The tailored skirt accompanying the
military coat has been made up on
circular foundation, finished with
dust ruffle. The feature is the gradu-
ated flounce rising high in the back.
Above the founce are nine rows of
machine stitching sweeping upward
toward the back. This serves as n
heading for the ornamental stitching
on the hounce, design of trlanSles
resting on the broad base.

Tho Southern wolnan,s Voice.

l think the reason Southern women
have such dellclously soft voices may
be traced to the Difference Of the men.
Southern men look upon their women

doesn't have to yell for the purpose of
attracting his attention or getting him
TO stop his story and give her a

which seems to be universal through
the South, makes the Southern woman

tion to the kicking. Stand against the
shoulder and throw the right arm over
the COW; lean forward and milk with
the left hand. The COW cannot reach

All animals on the farm prefer foods
that may not be relished by some 9TH
ers. The farmer should take advan-
tage of this fact and utilize all the
materials that might be wasted If
there were not some animals that
would accept them. A judieious use
of the feed cutter, mixing little bran
or meal with the cut food and tempt
ing the animals with q variety, will
render serviceable even such food as
wheat straw. There are several modes
