Golf veilings can be had Of red OF
green chiffon adorned with the usual
pattern OF golf sticks and balls.
Large buttons appear upon many
smart suits, sometimes Of pearl and
occasionally covered with the material
Of trimming Of the suit.
Soft peau de sole sashes are pretty
for children, and all children wear
sashes. Occasionally a sash tied in
front with simple knot is effective.
Black Chantilly lace on black and
white foulards is a strikingly effective
combination, and one frequently seen
among displays Of handsome gowns.
One Of the pretticst variations of
the laced skirt is on the sailor suit Of
the small girl. There the placket hole
is laced with a soft silk ribbon to
match the trimmings Of the suit with
very good effect
Little handbags Of gray suede are
very popular as a conve1Ment accessory
Of the race costume. They are long
and narrow In shape and decorated
with steel, or If the bag is Of white
suede, gold applique is the ornamental
ton.
Safety pockets for valuables come
in both canvas and chamois. The one

signs, either one large pocket with a

small pockets.
| Linen tailor gowns are made by
some tailors to lace with robbons the

The Scottish Regalia.

It is rumored in Edinburgh that the
Scottish regalia, which has been kept
in the castle for over two centuries,
will be temporarily removed to Holy
rood Palace when the King holds his
court. The regalia, Of which the chief
is Bruce's crown (used at the corona
ton Of every subsequent monarch OF
Scotland), were locked UP In room
in the castle just after the union In
1907, and brought to light again Ia
1917, by order of the Prince Regent.
During the civil wars some of them
were kept in Dunottar Castle, in Kin
cardineshire, which was held by Ogil-
w, Of Barras, against CromwelPs S
troops The wife Of minister was
allowed to enter the fortress to see
Ogilvy's wife, and she and her maid
between them smuggled out the
crown, sceptre and sword. When
Dunottar surrendered and the valua-
bles were missed Ogilvy was sent to
prison in England.-London News.

Wastes on the Farm. /.

Millions of dollars worth OF mate
tial are wasted annually on the farms
Of this country, is a statement made
by some authority. In the aggregate
[ suppose there is an enormous amount
of waste in every industry, and farm
ing is no exception to the rule. There
are farmers to-day who avoid waste
on their farms fully as much as the
wideawake manufacturer or producer
in other lines. On the other hand,
there are plenty who fail to realize
that they are wasting good material,
although the process is going on daily
under their very noses. Everything
is waste that is not put to it's best
and highest use. Thus cornstalks
burned in the field is distinct waste
if there is any possible way to convert.
them into food for cattle. Sometimes
it is a decided waste simply because
the farmer is too stupid to see that his
best plan is to raise more cattle to eat
the stalks, and less corn. Again it
lay be a great waste to attempt to
raise only one farm crop when the un-
certainties Of selling the produce at
fair profit are great, especially il there
a-c other crops which could be raised
satisfactorily.
Sometimes one of the greatest wastes
on the farm comes from the failure to
spend money for needed improve
ments The soil that is not in fit con-
dition for raising certain crop to the
irh ic oafJ1 w
when sown with seed which it cannot
possibly do the best by. The waste
comes in at such times because of lack
of foresight OF because the farmer is
unwilling to spend the extra amount
O. money. Now, we can waste soil
and crops. We can also waste time,
machinery and labor. All Of these are
studied separately and individuality
! The successful merchant studies the
market, labor, cost Of production and
| the wear and tear of machinery and
waste of capital. So the farmer must,
| to avoid leaks and wastes, look to it
that the highest efficiency is obtained
from every dollar Of capital he has in
| vested. Progressive farmers of to-day
are doing this, and they are rapidly
| becoming the best business men in the
| country The man who can take a
| run down farm and build it up and
make a good living from it through
| good farming is a shrewd business
man not to be overlooked in this age
| Of strenuous living.-W. e. Edwards,
| in American Cultiyator.

twelve feet long and eight feet wide
At one end the posts are about five
and one-half feet high, at the other

Now take boards four inches wide,

notches in each end hoard, and bore
holes through them at intervals Of one
foot, preparatory to boIting them to-

between these boards and clamped
fast For the sake Of clearness only
one of these brush is shown in the IL
