In the making of the new princess
gowns there is a wide latitude allowed.
1t must be a tight-ftting dress, without
division between waist and skirt, but 1t
need not be the waxenlike mold which
characterized the old princess shape
One form Of princess has a waist laid
in little side plaits. At the belt line, or
where the belt would ordinarily come, the
plaits begin to flare and the skirt is
formed by releasing all the plaits COM

The Watteau skirts are made three in
number and of three colors. Pink, blue
and very light green make favorite set
Of skirts The result is a pretty green that
has a little rose tint in it. One skirt drops
over the other, three deep.
The lily petal skirt is cut upon different
lines 1t is tight at the hips and f1aring
around the foot. There is sometimes no
overdress, but just a single skirt Of satin,
or of taffeta, or of peau de sole, or Of
corded silk, made snug, with the fare be-
ginning at the knees. Little fans Of chif-
fon are set in this skirt and chiffon ruff1es
are beneath it.
From fashions indications it would
seem as though the woman of 1902 would
do naught but wear her best gowns.
Street dresses there are, to be sure, but
they are kept well in the background in
the display of the coming modes, and the
evening gowns are the only ones that are
brought out. The chiffons and the en-
broideries, the appliques and the fancy
trimmings, crowd out the utilitarian
styles.
It has been suggested that fashion is
going back to the time when all women
were elegantly gowned all the day and
when the cloth tailor-made would have
been considered a sadly unfeminine viola
tior Of every canon Of pretty art.
The long shoulder effect is something
that will be noted at once. This is Sc
cured in the house gown by the lace COL
lar, which is very deep and falls almost
to the waist, front and back This gives
the desired slope, as it can be obtained in
no other way.
Shoulders for 1902.
The low shoulder. seam has begun to
appear. though happily it has not come
on rapidly. There are few gowns cut
with the shoulder seam below the should
er rather than on top of it, fairly hug
ging the arm. and the sloping shoulder is
the result But this style hampers the
movement Of the arm so in the new gowns
the slope is obtained by trimming the
sleeve in such way that it looks as
though the seam were low.

remarkable Of the things to be observed
in the fancies Of the year. They will be

THE NAME OF cRgscEUs.
How the Great Stallion Came TO
Get II,

Where did George H. Ketcham get
the name of CresCeus, is a question
that has been a ked many times. Mr..
Ketcham, the owner and driver of th
great stallion, is good reader, in
fact he is the DOssessor of one Of the
finest libraries in Ohio, his native
state. About the time the now great
son OF Robert McGregor began to
show promise Mr.. KetCham was
spending his reading hours in reading
the history of ancient Rome. AT The
suggestion of Tim Thurman, the trainer
of Cresceus, that the colt needed
name. Mr.. Ketcham thought Cresceus
would be appropriate inasmuch as in
the days of Nero, there was chario-
ter named Cresceus, who was invinc-
ible as a reinsman. He was, so to
speak, the Geers of drivers in the days
of racing when Nero reigned.
ApropOs of the coming Cresceus to
attempt to lower his own and the
worlds trottius record of 2:02A, is
the following regarding Mr.. ketchain:
When yet very young man Mr..
Ketcham was in delicate health, and
knowing ones limited at consumption.
An outdoor life seemed the proper
thing, and a natural love Of horses
attracted him to driving as the open
air exercise that pleased him most.
The game began to be interesting
with the acquisition of Robert Nc
Gregor, the famous father of Cresceus.
1t was then that the men about
Toledo, who cared for a brush, used
to drive up occasionally near George
on the winters speedway. They
usually got what they were lookiLS Z
for
With the years came the ambition to
own a great trotting horse, and as
Cresceus early showed all the points
for making a record, Mr.. Ketcham,
who had bred and trained him now
allowed himself word of praise for
his stallion. At first even his best
friends laughed a little when George
quietly remarked that he had the fast
est horse on earth, but their cynical
grins turned to smiles Of admiration
when the sorrel began to smash the
records as a 3-year.old. Since that
time he has justified all that his
owner and his caretaker, Tim Thurman.
have promised for him, and today be

will produce fairly well for twelve or
fifteen years.
Set about forty feet apart each way
are poles connected on the top with
heavy wire. Fastened at right angles
across these larger wires are lighter
ones arranged six feet apart in parallel
rows. This arrangement covers the
field like an immense screen.
Sometimes in the fall but usually in
the early spring, the old vines and up
per roots are cut off. thrown into pile
and burned, and men go through the
feid and hill up around the main roots.
Later on, men with step-ladders-in the
smaller fieIdS-Or with a high derrick
wagon in the large plantations, go over
the field and fasten strings at regular
intervals Of six feet along all the cross
wires, leaving the other ends of the
strings dangling over the little mounds
from which the future hop vine is TO

Fastened 10 little iron pegs driven near
the hop hills.
In some sections poles are stuck in
the ground at intervals Of six feet each
way. and the hop vines climb UP these
poles 10 a height of eight feet or more.
When picking time comes these poles
are pulled up and laid across a large
crate into which the hops are stripped.
But this is a primitive and laborious
method. The wiring method makes the
hops easier to cultivate and handle. and
Increases the crop about fifty per cent

of the mercerized linen in those new
green shades are made for dress-up wear
in skirt and bolero trimmed lace, a fancy
white shirt waist coming beneath the
jacket. One of these suits appears in
the accompanying initial picture. Ivory
white lace trimmed it, and the white
silk revers of its bolero were embroidered
in black silk. Gowns of this material
commonly are made so deliberately that
this example is to be counted as a sim
pie one
There's no end to the lace-trimmed
gowns of muslin, lawn, null and organ

black lace and ecru lace insertion. Black
lace is a feature of many such dresses,

ga trife more wadding will do it
nicely" said the Madison street tailor,
and he made some mysterious chalk
marks on the coat of a customer, select
ing the left shoulder for his work. The
customer went out, and another man,
who had dropped in to pay something
on account-nOt because he felt like
paying, but because he wanted more
clothing and didn't think he could get
it save by demonstration of good faith
looked a question.

his shoulders is shorter than it really
ought to be, don't you know? Ever
notice how a letter carrier wears his
mail bag? Always has it slung over his
left shoulder"
THE result is that in course of a very
limited time they lose symmetry. The
right shoulder remains in its natural
position, but the left drops more or less,
but always enough to make the defect
noticeable.
There are good many other persons
who are in need of cotton padding for
one shoulder of the coat. There is not

miles to the plantations. They carry
on their backs such meager stock of
bedding and cooking utensils as will
suffice for their rude wants, and erect
for themselves, along streams or where
wood and water are convenient, rude
huts of boughs or brush, in which they
live during the season.
The jolly Pickers.
The white pickers as a rule come in
families and lodge in rough board
shacks erected for the purpose. Four
poles may serve as posts and rafters
for a crude awning over the doorway,
and bench with pail of water and
wash basin may stand against the
front of the building, for hop pickers
are not aesthetic. in their tastes and
can get along with comparatively few
modern cOnyeniences and luxuries.
They live in primitive way, and they
enjoy themselves in primitive ways,
too.
1t seems to be generally understood
that hop picking time is an opportunity
to have good time. While some tough
characters seek employment in the hop
fields, they are not regarded as desir-
able because they are not reliable. All
classes Of people at one time or an
other are to be found in the fields.
The healthfulness of contact with the
hops, and the picnic character of the
picking, attract many members of the
best families, and while they do not
make picking a serious business, they
manage to extract a great deal of
health anG enjoyment out Of the expe-
fience. .,. ..
