Adjustments give an idea of season
that will be unusually brilliant so far
a. this form of garment is concerned.
There is an unusual number of novel
ties seen, and, in fact, it would seem
that all the models are distinctly new
but few, if any, of the old ones being
seen.
The pronounced feature is 'less

there, but it is not SO low down. An
other noticeable feature found on
practically every waist is touch of
silk, either embroidered or appliqued.
and there is a constantly changing and
wonderful array of various forms.
They range from the low price of SIS,
or even less, to those that cost $500 and
over. They are constructed of viscosa
printed panne and velvet; also brocad-
ed silk and plain taffetas, very much
trimmed. AS for sleeves the variety is
endless, both in regard to the cut and
trimming. The narrow tucks and
cords, running lengthwise to the ell
bow, and below, are very effective.
The flannel waists are mostly tailor
made, and they are embroidered, hem
stitched, corded, appliqued and
trimmed with velvet ribbon or fancy
braid, and every possible color is
worn, but there is tendency toward
pastels and soft standings.
One of the new blouses in viscosa
printed panne designed for matinee
wear is in colors of ecru, with small
black scroll pattern. The blouse is
slightly full, with deep pointed revers
from the shoulders hanging in a broad
cascade. The revers are lined with
red silk, with a strapping of silk at the
outer edge. There is a collar ard fancy
front piece of real lace. The sleeves

regulations adopted by the recently

an evident desire to adopt western

 General Conditions.
 With exception of quite general rains on the first two days, which retarded cot ton picking, and, in some places, caused a continued deterioration of cotton end corn, generally favorable conditions pre- vailed for harvesting the staple crops. though the temperatures averaged from two to four degrees below the normal with light to heavy frost in northern places damaging open cotton, and nipping other tender vegetation. Cotton is open ing rapidly in southern counties but rather slowly in other districts: about two-thirds of the crop has been picked, with the yield continuing generally light in some fields being about one-half the average, with few complaints of its quality grading low; reports now confirm previous indications that there will be no top crop worthy of mention The housing of corn has progressed slowly, with some complaint of the grain rotting in the field. and a general agreement that the yield will be very light. Sugar cane, sweet potatoes, and peanuts are making a satisfactory yield: sorghum syrup mak- ing is about completed, with fairly good yield: late Irish potatoes and turnics are doing well; field peas are yielding well; grass hay is making & very good yield, some correspondents reporting it as the finest hay crop in years. Preparations for fall seeding are backward. though some wheat. rye, and oats have been sown, with the latter germinating in few fields; about the average area will be devoted to wheat and oats.
