The Peanut Has Aliases.

Considering its universal popularity and
excellent standing in agricultural circles,
1t is remarkable how many aliases there
are under which the peanut travels
Whenever it is introduced to new COM
munity the toothsome offering of the sod
adopts a new name and comes forth with
an additional sobriquet which makes it
almost unrecognizable to its old acquaint-
ances.. II the edible fruit''-as the die
tiOnaries call it-had ever done anything
to be ashamed of the public might under
stand, but as things are the eccentricities
of peanut nomenclature are absolutely as
tonishing.
Here in Virginia we designate our lit
tie friend principally as the peanut, but
quite often We likewise allude to him as
a ground pea" and occasionally as a.
''goober." Over in England they call the
same fruit ground nut, while it is vari-
ously known elsewhere as "earth nut"
Manila nut" "junut" and 'pindar.' The
scientific patronymic as we understand it,
is Arachis pypogaea. and the family be-
longs to the genus of leguminous plants.
But, be its name what it may, a pea
nut is a peanut the world over. so far
as its virtues go, and few are the human
palates which decline to receive an intro
duction to it.-Richmond Dispatch.

Dressmakine as a Profession

There are 100000 dressmakers in
the country-many of them French
women who come over here to sell us
models-so out of that number should
think we might reasonably expect 49,
900 at our reception and meeting at
Masonic Temple on Friday" said Miss
Elizabeth White, founder and presi-
dent of the Dressmakers' Protective
Association of America, which holds
it's first meeting this week in New
York city.
1--WE intend to show the dress
makers of Europe that We are artists
as we'll as needleWomen, and that the
women Of this country could wear
beautiful gowns even If every Euro
pean dressmaker went out of business.
Our workmanship is superior to that
Of the French dressmakers, and our
designs and color schemes are equal
to theirs. In most cases the French
gown worn by an American woman
has been altered to suit her American
ideas, SO that 1t is really not a French
model after all, but something in much
better taste.
'In New York and all the large cities
of the country one finds foreigners in
the dressmalking establishments, but in
Paris and Vienna we find no Americ-
ans. Why is this? They are clever,
well trained, adaptable, artistic, but
they are not employed abroad. This
may be because they do too well at
home to seek work abroad, or it may
be that the European firms do not
know how well Americans can work.

The st. Paul Choral club is to have a

An East Indian Corner.

The architect of home beauty is the
woman. 1t is the little personal touches,
evidences of feminine forethought and
planning, that impart the real atmosphere
of home. An empty corner, an ugly
niche, become an inspiration for woman s
ingenuity. A coy nook of her creation is
a pretty note in the scheme of furnishing.
The tones may be harmonized with the
color scheme of the room and embody a
picturesque retreat as we'll
Newer than the Turkish corners are
the East Indian hooks. One could hardly
say prettier nor more artistic, but their
harmonieS of vivid hueS .1SSssad well into a
solid sweep of mellowed beauty as unbrok-
en- as the tints of a rainbow.
To drape an East Indian corner the
East Indian prints should be used. The
Merut prints of East Indian origin are
genuine importations from the Orient,
and usually range in price from 20 cents
to 35 cents a yard. Curtains and Bur

cutta panels are hung at available spaces
on the wall to suit the artistic eye of
the decorator. The panels cost about
$3.50 each. Kus Kus fans fill a vacant
spot here and there on the wall quantity

scheme of draping. Along with these.
says the designer, odd trays and plaques
of Moradabad or Benares ware are placed
with the drapeyies for appropriate and
decorative background. These pieces, by
the way, come from Benares the sacred
city of the East Indians. The coy COR
ner may be as elaborate and eXtravagant
as you please, though four prints are
sufficient for a beginning.

A Paris Gown.

The following description of a gown
evening at an engagement dinner is full
of suggestions to a woman on the qui
vfve for new effects The gown was COM
posed of pale gray crepe de chine and
white chiffon. There was an overdress
of crepe de chine, embroidered in large,
white chrysanthemums, scattered irregu-
larry over it. The underskirt was made
up of many plaitings of white chiffon,
and the gray tunic was raised at the
sides by white velvet ribbon. The en-
broidered crepe formed bib on the bodice
both back and front the pieces being
held together on the shoulders by odd
Russian silver ornaments with pendants.
There were shirred gray mousseline over
the shoulders; under these clasps long,
loose draperies OF the mousselne fell from
the shoulders over bishop sleeves of unlin
ed lace, the lace terminating in bands
of white velvet riLNon. The bodice also
had small yoke OF white lace, matching
the sleeves, the edges finished with white
velvet. A gray panne velvet turban,
from the left side of which, fastened by
a cleaning jewel, a long white ostrich
plume swept the shoulder, topped this
exquisite frock.
