Fashions For Girls ana Coys.

The sailor suit locks especially well
made in~white duck or pique. with a
broad sailor collar OF blue linen or
flannel. Frocks OF dotted muslin are
fashionable this year for young girls
as well as older women. The fine
polka dots I'm white are the smartest,
and there needs TO be very little trim
ming with lace-that IS. there is no
necessity for lace insertion. IL the
founces and ruffies are trimmed with
narrow lace. that Is all-sufncient. and
the lace need not be of an expensive
quality. Dotted muslin Is not a cheap
material in itself. because the cOarser
qualities are not n good investment;
but so much can be saved on the
trimming that in the end the frock car

Thu whites and Yolks,

In putting the whites and yolks OF
eggs together for a soufiie, says the
New York Evening Post. the greatest
care should be taken in the way In
which 1t is done. They should be
mixed very gently. the yolks lifted
over the whites with the spoon, with
out stirring. or really much breaking
them. Any quick movement of the
whites OF eggs tends TO make them
watery. and in the case OF soufiie
they should be put in the dish still
dry from the stiffness to which they
are whipped.

kingsbury county school lands
sold this year for over s16 per acre.
In 1890 Kingsbury was dried out
and many people left. In fact that
county went through exactly the
same experiences as Hand County
did. Both counties haye recoyere d
in a great measure during the past
ten years. But while Hand County
land is selling Tor 81 per acre, Kings
bury land runs up to SIC. And yet
K%ingsbury il in the dry belt" less
than so miles from Hand County !.
There must be a reason why thu t
county developed more rapidly than
this. 1t is easy. Kingsbury built
creameries, mine OF them, and milk
ed the cows. That is the secret.
While the COW raised a calf she also
brought the family living and more.
Hand county had no creameries, ex-
cept the individual ones, hence her
development has been slower.
