NOTES OF THE MODES.
Fall aud Winter Millinery, Bridal
Gowns and Attractive Dress
Combinations

White wool hats are very promi-
nent among the samples of fall and
winter millinery. There are two
styles, one of very fine velvety French
felt, the other of white camel's hair,
to correspond with suits of the same
rough surface, and with zibeline,
boucle cloth, and similar hairy
weaves, says the New York Post.
Among the designs for fall and
winter bridal gowns there are many
in princesse form. For short rather
stout women, this style of dress is a
boon, for the former wrapper-like eff
feet is now wholly eliminated. Even
when a costume made with a skirt
and jacket is perfect of it's kind, di-
viding the skirt and coat has a ten
| dency to shorten and broaden the eff
| feet. No inexperienced dressmaker,
however, can possibly make success
| of a gown of this kind. All the pref
ty accessories are added to these
| gowns-the fancy blouse fronts, boz
leros, picturesque sleeves, collars,
vests, etc
White and black combiDa tons in
millinery will again be popular for
the two coming seasons. Black and
white fancy satins, velvet, and velour
| weaves; black and white laces, featn-
ers, aigrettes; black velvet ribbon
overlaid with white silk passemen-
terie; black velvet loops lined with
white satin; large or small dress
hats of white French felt or velvet
garnished with black and white tulle,
doves wings, white birds with black
wing tips, and breast plumage, and
white velvet peoples or water lilies
with black or yellow velvet hearts.
A charming Weille model for an
evening dress is of primrose chiffon
over pink and primrose yellow
chameleon taffeta silk underskirt and
bodice. On the front is an open Rus
sian blouse of point de Venise lace,
with pointed girdle and collar of
primrose satin, held by buttons of
pink pearl, intermiNed with tiny
fronts of the blouse shows dainty
dip vest of shot satin, yelled with
tulle and banded vertically with pink
pearl gimp.
Very few of the demi-dress gowns
of the season are plain in effect.
Nearly all have some sort Of braid
work, small frills set one above the
ether, strappings, and fancy buttons,
tucking, and lace en- applique, etc.
Quite half of the skirts now shown
are finished with hip yoke trimmed
with applied folds. soutache, all-over
embroidery and stirring or faggoted
bands. Novel and pretty black passe-
menteries are used just now by
French dressmakers, not only for
trimming frocks for semi-dress wear,
but also for walking and travelling
costumes.
The Monte Carlo coat in various de-
signs is again popular this season.
Some OF the coats are in three-quar-
ter styles, others are in hip length
with an inverted plait at the center
OF the loose back and similar plat
on each side of the box fronts. The
styles in cloth, as a rule, have sim
gle cape collar and bishop sleeves,
while the silk coats have flowing
sleeyes and two shoulder collars, with
a fihish of lace or embroidery and a
double row of buttons

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

Fresh dirt makes a good winter
flooring.
Hens need fresh drinking water as
we'll as horses.
Watch the 'little things and be
constantly regular.
Now is the time to rid your flock
of undesirable fowls.
An exclusive diet of corn will pre-
vent hens fron, laying.
Old hens do not pay as well as pull
lets and two-year-old hens.
Don't throw money away by feed
ing lot of culls and drones.
All meat and milk products should
be given as fresh as possible.
It is good plan to soak the oats
that are to be fed; it helps diges-
ton.
Clean the hen house again. It will
take but little time and will be bene-
fetal.
To get the best results. give va
riety OF food and shell-producing
articles.
Don't forget that animal feed Of
some kind is absolutely necessary to
the best results.

Splendid Manner,

The sketch below is a one-horse har.
row or weeder that does the work in
a most excellent manner. It runs very
light, covering two rows and tapping
half the space to the adjoining rows,
thereby making speed with one horse.

RURAL SCHOOL REFORM,
Row Country Teachers Should BE Ed
ucated to Be Successful in
Their Work.

There has been great deal of talk
lately in regard to the teaching Of
agriculture and horticulture in the
rural schools. Doubtless great good
could be accomplished in this way if
there were teachers qualified for the
work. But the so-called normal
schools turn out too many drilled
automata and do little in the real
teaching Of nature. If the country
school-teachers could all be given .
short course in agriculture and horti-
culture at the state colleges of agri-
culture we might after awhile have
men and women prepared to take up
the work in an elementary way in the
rural schools. But as the short
courses at these colleges mostly come
in the winter months, when the teach
ers are employed, there arises need
for summer schools for this purpose.
These might be made a strong force
in the progress of nature teaching.
With teachers enthused for the work,
there would soon come some applica-
ton of what they have learned in the
planting and identifying of the school
grounds. There is nothing like the
actual work in planting trees and
flowers and caring for them to make
children fond of nature and her prod
ucts, and there is nothing better cal
culated to drive the young people
from the farm than the comfortless
and ugly schoolhouses and their i'll
kept surroundings. Getting the young
people interested in plant life will
then be apt to draw them to the farm
ers' institutes. and the institutes will
never accomplish what they should in
the education of the farmer till they
catch him young cnough.-Practlcal
