Art Displayed In Dross-Trials OF Women

Person In Color and style-Our Cooking
\ School. ~
: ART IN DRESS.

The artistic faculty is one of the in
herited traits OF woman. It is betrayed
IN her earliest efforts at adornment OF
her person and surroundings. It is the
temperament of woman, as we'll as her
natural birthright, to guard the beauti-
full in life, and to make her whole ex-
istence visible manifestation of it,
Civilization has given to her oppor-
tunities in this direction denied her in
the past, says the Ledger Monthly.
She has been emancipated from the
slavery of conditions which narrowed
and destroyed those possibilities of per-
sonal expression born within her: Yet
even in barbaric times she was not
blind to the influence of personal
adornment. The evolution of her dress
may have been from the rude blanket
and wild boar's skin to the modern
silks and furs of unrivalled beauty and
Heterogeneous; but there was al
ways, even in the beginning, a method
Of wearing the garments that betrayed
the dormant gifts. She could be artis-
tic even with the simplest and rudest of
garments.
The art of dress becomes factor OF
importance, not only in the life of the
woman who devotes her time to it, but
in all those who associate with her.
The expression of her artistic tempera-
ment may be manifested in no other
way than that of dress, and yet she
may produce an effect of Unreasonable
importance on the world. 1t is hardly
consistent to belittle the effect of wom-
ans dress. even when carried to an ex-
treme. and thoughts .of.,::it absorb all
other considerations of life. The paint
er. is justified; according to human
standards, in devoting all his time and
strength to the production Of beauty on
his canvas; and the poet is considered
legitimately employed If he merely
strives to express in the highest artistic
form those thoughts and emotions of
love which come to him in the highest
degree. The decorator, the musician
and the singer are all appealing to the
sense OF sight or hearing through beau
tiful forms Of sound.
The woman who understands the art
OF personal adornment finds gratifica-
ton Of artistic expression in her dress.
she studies it from many points of
view; considers the harmony of colors
and style; views herself apart from her
personality and environments; and
finds In the whole work a service OF
love which is little lower than that
which the poet or painter feels for his
productions. Dress performs the dou-

be a burden. In every part Of the east:
the orchards were set out and -four u
tshed. Every home had its group OF
trees and the children played under
the branches and culledG the pretty
fruit as they did the flowers. People,
looked forward to the time when
plums would be in surprising abund-
ance In every locality. But the dream
came a pest with which Americans
did not know how to grapple. It
swept like destroyer over the coun-
try. Little by little the beautiful
branches of the plum trees became
filed with unsightly black knots and
ceased to bear fruit. Tree after tree
was cut down but the pest merely re-
appeared on other trees. No variety
was potent against it and every de-
tense failed. No man knew the ma
ture OF the enemy. So the plum Or
,hards disappeared, and men in despair
ceased even to try to grow them. From
that point the scientists took up the
work. Little by little the nature Of
black-knot was found out and rene
dies discovered Today the fruit
grower knows how to combat the most
destructive Of all these diseases and
the plum orchards are reappearing. Let

Every farmstead will be made more.

it. Today the culture of plums has.
been reduced to such science that the
novice and the amateur can succeed
with them. Within the last ten years.

from foreign countries, and more va

The experienced farmer or fruit grow-
sr seldom mentions them. He knows
hat they are easily kept down by the
cultural methods that the crops should
ave whether there be weeds or not.
When fruit culture is carried on on
small scale one Of the best means OF
keeping down weeds is the mulch
This mulch may be Of any kind of
7erdure-grass or straw or weeds. The
writer has found it very serviceab1e
hing In the culture OF tomatoes.
There is good deal of grass and
weeds mown that is not suitable for
hay and this is placed between the
rows OF tomatoes. 1t ensures three
things: The keeping down of the
weeds, the conservation Of moisture
Ind the protection Of the fruit from
1irt. There is a fourth object that is
perhaps attained and that is the in
crease of nitrogen in the surface soil
1ue to proper shading and moisture
under the mulch.
