An Attractive waist.

Sheer tan batiste is used for this at.
traetlye waist, with ecru lace collar'and
wristbands It is made over a glove
fitted featherboned lining of green taft
feta that closes In the centre-back.
The green shows through the batlste,
lending a pleasing contrast to the neu-
tral tint OF the fabric.
Three forward turning tucks are ar
ranged at each side of the centre front.
The third tucis are stitched from neck
to belt TO simulate a vest, while the
others terminate half way down, pro-
yiding a stylish fulness that blouses
over the green satin belt.
The closing is made invisibly at the
centre-back under a box pleat, the
waist fitting smoothly in the back and
under the arms.

If preferred beading may be used to
finish the neck and upper edge of front
and ribbons drawn through the bead
ing, tied in a bow at the neck.
The sacque is trimmed with a band
of embroidery at the lower edge. The
sleeves are shaped with inside seams
only, have comfortable fitness on the
shoulders, and have a casing stitched
about three inches from the lower
edge. Elastic run through this casing
draws the sleeve close to the arm be-
low the elbow, the lower portion form
ing ruff1e. Narrow lace is applied
over the casing.
Stylish sacques in this mode may be
made of lawn, Swiss or dimity, with
pretty ribbons and lace for trimming.
1t is also appropriate for albatross,
yelling, silk crepe, cashmere or any
soft wooden fabric with bands of taft
feta to take the place of lace OF en-
broidery.
To make the saeque in the medium
size viii require three yards Of twenty
seven-inch material.

A transparent lace collar completes
the neck. These collars are especially
popular during the summer as they
are much cooler and more comfortable
than those lined with stiffening.
The elbow sleeves are shaped with
inside seams and tucked to fit the up
per arms closely. The fulness between
the point where the tuclls stop and the
lower edge forms a puff that is gath
cred and arranged OH a narrow lace
elbow band.

Mrs. Roosevelt knows the shops OF
New York City-a matter all women
must learn before acquiring the art Of
successful shopping. 1t Is her knowl-
edge Of knowing Just where to find
what she wants that enables her TO
run up to town and out again in two
or three hours, making a number Of
purchases in that short space Of time
that would take the inexperienced
woman a full day at least. She is no
bargin hunter, yet is a careful buyer
making her selections quickly and
without having everything in the stock
hauled down for her inspection, and
in her manner of treatment Of clerks
she is very similar to a former Presi-
dents wife, Mrs Cleveland. A gen
tie smile and kindly word is never
lacking on her part to show her APP

Improvement by selection has made
the live stock Of this country much
more valuable. II was once supposed
that a three-minute gait In trottlng
was very fast, and the four-mile run
ming horses would barely accomplish
that distance in eight minutes A six
ty-pOund sheep was large, and the ra-
zor-back hog was on every farm. To
day we have trotting horses that have
gotten close to a mile in two minutes.

400 pounds alive are not rare.

Lace jackets are considered extreme

Jackets of colored pique to wear

Shall Men Choose womon's Clothes?

Shall Men Choose Women's Clothes?
1t is often said that women dress to
please each other, but men dress to
please themselves. On this point a
writer in the Ladies's Pictorial says:
Now and then one sees a woman
whose clothes are absolutely character
istic of her, and bear the impress Of
having been carefully thought out by
their wearer. These are those who
never wear garments fashioned like
others; but the majority of women do
not desire, nor, indeed, would it be-
come them, to be individualistic in
their attire. They like to be Sin the
fashion" And the question is are they,
)r are men, best suited to making what
is understood by la mode? On the
whole, one inclines to the opinion that
men are really the best judges of what
suits the female form divine; and, OH
the other hand, it would seem as if
woman's taste in mems clothing is far
more reliable than mans. She is quick
to detect mistake in the choice of a
tie, toI the angle of a hat, the set
Of a Z {, the pattern of a tweed, the
shay of a collar, and she never falls
int. the error Of urging her men folk
to adopt any atrocious thing merely
because they are described as every
fashionable" The man whom woman
considers we'll dressed is we'll fitted,
absolutely well groomed and quite I'M
Obtrusive alike in the matter of hats,
waistcoats, ties or patterns, and this
looks as if each sex were meant to
select the others clothers. Women are
ready enough to admit mems good
taste and cleverness in this direction.
but the other sex disclaim with horror
the ability Of their womenkild to ex.
ercise any judgment with regard ia
their wardrobes, despite the fact that
en- unfavorable feminine opinion OF
anything they are wearing means its
instant disuse. Perhaps if men and
Tsomen alike more freely expressed
themselves in fashion journals from
time to time about each others clothes
it would be better for both.

A biography of Marshal Canrobert
has been published recently in Paris.
Not the least interesting part of the
work is that which refers to the extra
ordinary popular demonstrations that
marked the state visit of the late
Queen Victoria to the French capital
When the English sovereign, with her
consort and heir, went to the Invalides
to look upon the tomb Of Napoleon the
scene was one which seems to have
greatly impressed the Marshal, who
thus describes it:
Everybody was profoundly moved.
Not a word was spoken. Each person
stood gazing at the tomb and was lost
in thought Prince Albert was in front
of me in the red uniform of a field
marshal; at his side stood the Queen,
and standing beside her was the Prince
Of Wales, dressed in his Highland cos
tune, with his velvet coat, his purse
of fur, and the kilt; at the right was
Princess Mathilde, whose features, so
pure, standing out in the light of
torches, recalled too wildly the fea.
lures of her uncle. After a moments
pause of reflection, of absolute silence,
the Queen, with an expression on her
face of severity, calmness and medita-
ton. turned to the Prince of Wales,
and, placing her hands ON his shoulder
said; Go down on your knees before
the tomb of the great Napoleon II
was fine exhibition of keen political
tact, as well as Of fine human feeling
on the part of the Queen"

pounds. On this ration the four horses
in the experiment maintained their
weight with what little exercise they
were inclined to take The station be-
lieVes that horses cannot only be main
tanned upon this, but that the ration
is sufficient for light work. In diges-
ton experiments at the North Carolina
Station, it was found that there was
a higher dlgestibility of carbohy-
drates when rations rich in easily di-
gestible protein were submitted for ex.
pertinent. The protein from alfalfa
hay may fulfill the same conditions.
In such case there would be more
pounds of carbohydrates digestcd
from the straw in the above ration
and the nutritive substance would be
correspondingly increased.
