THE FASHIONS.

Small pockets stitched on the left
front of shirt waists are very chic
and stylish.
The new idea IN dainty dress trim
ming consists of ribbon fringed and
trimmed with narrow lace.
When one must have n monogram on
the shirt waist sleeve, the most efrec-
tive plan is to select butchers linen
shirt waist with the monogram in all
white.
Rosettes and bows of plain satin
or peau de sole ribbon are in the lead
for ornamenting all sorts of muslin
frocks and are of infinite variety of
colors and adjustment.
For GOODNESS and fresh appearance
nothing comes quite up to, the lawn
stock, with ends ready to tie in
smart bow; most of these are tucked
and have nice little turnover collars.
For young girls evening frock
nothing is daintier or more effective
than embroidered muslin, the waist
cut low and finished with a bertha of
lace, the old fashioned tambour lace,
or the ever attractive valenciennes.

To Make a Mon.

/ wish to tell how | make my mop.
1t is my own invention and far supe-
rior, l think, to the mops we find in
the stores. 1t has a light wood handle
about ten inches long, an inch in diam
eter at the bottom and little smaller
at the top. Take unbleached thin mus
lin or any other suitable cloth and cut
four circular pieces about ten inches
across. Now cut a circular hole in the
middle of the cloth large enough to go
over the top and not large enough to
slip off; then get a small metal ring
from the hardware store just large
enough to slip over the cloth and hold
it tight on the handle. This mop Is
easily kept clean and fresh, as the
cloth can be removed to be washed
and dried or renewed as often as de-
sired. 1t is convenient to have several
sizes for the various uses to which
mops are put. Any small boy will be
delighted to make these for you by the
dozen.-Good Housekeeping.

1t is not generally known that some
of the most stylish Partisan society la
dies are dressed by contract. By this
is meant that they pay certain fixed
sum each year to one of the famous
makers of gowns, with the understand
ing that they shall be supplied with
all gowns required by them during
that time. Should an undue nnmber
be needed all above a certain limit of
value will be charged for as extra.
This does not include hats and lin
gerie, though it is quite probable that
in the future establishments may be
set up where the lady of wealth may
present herself so many times during
season and have her entire outfit pre-
scribed, as 1t We're, by one who has the
art of dressing down to fine point
and the prescription filled by the max
er, who forsees combination un-
known where every need of dress for
a lady's outfit may be supplied intelli-
gently. If an era of elaborate dress
ing, with countless accessories, is to
obtain in America, there will be need
for this kind of service, both to re-
lieve the wearer of fine clothes from
what otherwise might be a lifetime
burden and furthermore to prevent the
offending styles in dress which of late
are perpetrated by those ignorant of
good taste in this respect.

A KentuclSy Summer Outfit.

Many years ago Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky was summoned to Wash
ington in the middle of June to look
after q small matter of patronage
His departure was so sudden and the
prospect of his staying more than n
day or two away from home so remote
that he carried with him only hand
bag. But business heaped up on him
after his arrival at the capital, and he
was obliged to telegraph back a re-
quest for a trunkful of summer cloth
ing. His little daughter happened to
be the only member of the family at
home when his dispatch arrived. and,
thinking it her duty to respond
promptly, she packed a trunk and ship
ped it. first slipping note inside, as
follows:
Dear Papa-I send you all the clothes l
can find and hope you are well.
The trunk contained seven white
shirts, six winter scarfs. one tooth
brush, one bowie knife and two re-
volvers. 1t was rueful outlook for
Blackburn. with the thermometer up
among the nineties, but he listened to
no proffered condolences. 'My daugh-
ter has done right" he said. "She
sent me what 4 real Kentucky girl re-
CARDS a suitable summer outfit for a
gentleman."-Har Weekly.

made skirts and suits are cared for at
the dry goods stores, then buy nupf-
Der of coat hangers or have them
made at home and hang your dresses
In the same way. Each hat should be
kept in n separate box, so the trim
mings will not be injured by crowd
ing. Damp or mud stained skirts
should be hung up where they will dry
Immediately, then thoroughly brushed
and shaken. Keep a cleansing fluid
on hand and sponge spots as soon as
they are discovered.
1t is good idea to set apart one aft
ernoon each week for Lending and re-
pairing. Tiny rents in woolen skiDts
may be darned with threads drawn
hooks, eyes and buttons that have be-
come loosened sewed on. AS long as
the skirts are worn in sweeping length
new bindings will be needed frequent
ly. When the old one is taken Off,
loosen the material from the lining at
the bottom and brush away the diEt
that has gathered before the new
binding is put on. When skirt loses
its stiffness, dampen the lining and in
terlining and iron on the wrong side
until quite dry. If the skirt becomes
too short, make n narrow circular ruff
fle of the same material or something
so nearly like it that the difference Will
not be noticeable. When it becomes
faded or out of style, take it apart
and dye it some pretty color or black
with liquid dye and make it over for
yourself or little girl. If the mate
rial is suitable, cut off until it is the
proper length and make rainy dTy
skirt of it. Many pretty waists have
been made from the best parts of Old
dress skirts.-Up to Date Farming.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

August is the month in which to bud
peach trees.
In selecting trees give preference to
those with smooth, healthy looking
bark.
Apples and peaches should not be
picked or handled when wet with dew
or rain.
Suphide of potash is death toy all
kinds of plant mildew. Use one ounce
10 -four gallons of water and apply in
the form of spray.
Before going into fruit culture find
out what varieties your land is best
adapted to produce and give those va
ieties the preference.
When pear trees refuse to grow and
appear dormant cultivate them well
and apply Il good dressing of wood

For the Limited Wardrobe.

The woman of limited means should
avoid the snare of getting so handsome
and elaborate a dress that it looks out
of place If worn on any but the most
special of occasions. Because a frock
bears the hallmark of great maker
it does not follow that it is always con-
venable, and as a limited wardrobe
does not allow of frequent changes
the "best dress" has to be worn in
season and out of season because it is
too good to discard till both wearer and
friends are heartily tired of 1t.
TO select one particular color and to
make it the keynote of ones whole
scheme of dress is a sure way to Sc
cure reputation of elegance. Take
mauve or pale blue and let it appear
in ones odd waists, dress Innings, pet
ticoats, waist belt, cravats and hats,
the subsidiary color being neutral gray,
white or black, but make sure the col
or is n becoming and complimentary

A priceless pearl that is a melody,
That makes us feel when it's within us
stored,
That all the gorgeous east we hold in fee
'Tis sweet to watch upon the distant hill
The gilded cloud ship lying low and still
And then to scent the lobster as he

His pregnant message from tho silver

Unto the music of the fruited fzz
And drift away unto Olympus high
And quite forget this vale of beers and

The care of an infant is always the
cause of deep and anxious thought on
the part of the mother, and especially
so when the mother is n young girl
who has always been free from the
cares and duties which naturally de-
volve upon the young matron. Any
mother knows how soon habit is
formed in her child, and this fact is
proof that just as early in life is a
child amenable to training.
If a child is told that he cannot have
certain thing he soon knows whether
a little fretting will gain it for him.
There are very few children who do
not understand this by the time they
are six months old. Let "yes" mean
yes" and just as surely let mo" mean
no." when dealing with child as
when dealing with an adult.
