Half-Hidden Trimmings.

Trimmings ordinarily arranged seem
to have lost their power of pleasing.
We must have them half hidden or
yelled. For some years frlls of chiffon
and the like have been attached TO the
under side of lovely evening dresses,
but now we have added the hat and
the parasol. Many a lovely hat has
absolutely no trimming above the
brim, whatever there is Of frills and
flowers being tucked coquettishly un-
derneath. Same way with some of the
lovely parasols. They are so plain and
unassuming that one is much surprised
upon peeping underneath to find a
veritable forest Of frills, especially fine
shirrings.

to the value of $1,260,OOO. The,
acreage of wheat this year is esti-
mated by tho same authority at 3d.
77l,6O6; oats, 74S,439; barley,
23S,568; rye, 2l,063; corn, 49,
O49. The acreage of fax is prob
ably about 100000, acres. A
large per centage of this was rails
ed on newly broken ground, and
represents good increase under
cultivation this year.
The good areas of the state have
been by no means fully developed.
There are yet large sections of un-
broken soil that will yield as good
returns as the acreage already cul-
tivated.
