Notes.

A new sable cape is made with the
skins placed horizontally, SO that the
dark stripes run around.
Bows of braid, sewn only on one
edge to represent tucks, trim some OF
the cloth skirts.
Pique gloves, with one or two but
tons and heavily stitched. r the
fashion for street wear.
A iewelled pin, similar to a safety
pin in shape, is worn to fasten up the
curling locks ct the nape of the neck.
Black satin finely tucked makes very
pretty belts to wear with separate
waists. Fasten them with q fancy
buckle or a knot of satin.
Black net gowns deliberately trimmed
with jet and made over white or black
silk are the most fashionable Of all the
dressy costumes for women who are no
longer young.
Violets are again the ~favorite flower
for the corsage bouquet. And it is
violets without number or regard for

Horse Show were huge in size.
Petticoats Of silk moreen with tat
feta silk rufaes are recommended for
wearing qualities, which the all taffeta
skirt does not possess. The material
comes in a variety of pretty colors.
Accordion plated velvet skirts set
on q deem woke. with q rounded point
in front covered with heavy lace,
either beaded or plain, r the latest
extravaganza in this department Of
dress.
One of the novelties of the season is
the shaped founce of black net en-
broidered with jet silver, steel, or
iridescent beads. It is all ready for
use, and freshens up q black satin
skirt wonderfully.
Another fancy which seems to have
taken possession of the women rather
early in the season is the large muf OF
ehinchilla, sable, and seal or velvet,
flowers. and lace, which she carries
without any reference to the tempera-
ture.
Sleeves seem to have settled down
TO their limit in size, for the season at
least. and the comfortable fulness at
the top still remains; but the skirt is
gradually diminishing in width, two
and q half yards around being the SIZE
of the latest model.
Pelerines of fur are the stylish
thing to wear with the tailor gown.
The long stole ends are trimmed with
innumerable tails, and the effect is
charming. Bows of black or colored
satin ribbon decorate some Of the new
fur boas, set in at intervals the entire

A Rat Hunt,

A great rat hunt came to a finish
last Saturday at Gurneyville. The

The other extreme Of all this elegance
is the medium length full cape Of
light-colored cloth, lined with silk and
interlined with flannel, and o shoulder
cape of shirred velvet, which also
forms the high collar. Blouse coats
of plain and shirred velvet with fur
revers are the popular evening wraps

why Timothy Runs Out.

as contrasted with clover, which is
only biennial, and dies as soon as it
perfects its seed, timothy may be called
a perennial. But it is the least per-
sistent of all the grasses grown, except
on land that is inundated by an annual
overflow. The timothy root always
runs neal the surface, and is, there
fore, much injured by winter freezing.
Not even letting the fall growth re-
main as winter protection will keep it
from being thus injured. Usually, on
upland, the timothy roots exhaust the
surface soil after two or three years.
growth. Even if they did not the sod
is likely to be destroyed by white
grubs, t~heprogeny of the slick beetle,
which lays her eggs in timothy sod,
and the first feed of its young is usually
the bulb at the surface of the ground
from which timothy roots proceed. In
many fields we have seen the sod so
entirely eaten out by these grubs that
the plants for a yard square or more
could easily be pulled up by the hand.
The thinning off of birds by sports
men or for ladies' hats has greatly in
creased the white grub nuisance. For
this reason we should not try to keep
a timothy sod more than two OF three
years, though if it is a meadow that
cannot be easily put to other use, it
can be done by putting on a coat OF
manure every 1other winter. If the
grubs eat out the sod, SOW some more
timothy seed this fall, or else prepare
to pillow it to be planted with somehoed
crop next May and reseed the follow
ing snrinr.

REIGN Of the Sash.

We are likely to have a reign of the
sash again. They are being worn a
great deal in London, and not a few
of them are seen here. The costume
worn by Miss st. John in the second
act of "The Geisha," at Days, shows
o most remarkable effect in sash ar
engagements, the large one she wears
covering almost the whole of the front
of her skirt. A London fashion paper
declares:
"Sashes fall from the waist to the
hem on many of the winter skirts,
whether made for day Or evening
wear, and they appear to be carelessly
tied, starting from o loose bow. This
is the general treatment. The new
est is the Vatican sash, coming be-
tween the shoulder blades and thence
descending to the feet, combining the
grace Of the Vatican plat with the
sash, which is always a great addition.
For these several purposes there is o
liberal choice of ribbons in stripes,
especially velvet and silk combined,
or in checks, which include some un-
usually bold t~artans, and in plain rich
peau de sole Of the vivid red tones
which are SO becoming and often so
delightful an addition to winter dress"
