stylishness of these expensive waists

wrought embroidery is liked best. All

Speaking Of belts reminds me OF the.
fact that many Of our best dressers are

| New York, June yesterday kind
fate led me to see a woman whose
taste is so correct that she designs not
only her own garments, but also many
which she sells to the fashion pa
pers, and she is also an authority on
fashions in general. Now, l am sup
posed to know more or less about these
very things, but my knowledge is more
in the abstract than in the application.
II 1 try to make anything myself it al
ways looks so very bad that hate the
sight of it ever after. So when / saw
this dainty little person sewing on
satin coat I sat and watched the oper-
alton with exceeding interest The
coat was so nearly done that can
give description of it.
1t is shaped like that in the illustra-
ton, but 1t Is not quite SO long. The
material Is extremely rich and heavy
black satin brocaded with sparse dots,
also black. The sleeves are pulled out
below the elbow and held into cuffs
with lace. The fronts are turned back
In stole shape, and down the edges are
rows of black and white silk fancy
braid In small scallops. The braid is
duplicated in straight lines without
the scallops on the edge and is wrought
into artistic designs of leaf and stem,
while the flowers are made by sewing
the scalloped braid into rosettes
Around the neck is a cape collar Of the
satin, to the edge of which is sewed
row of rich, knotted silk fringe. Above
this is laid superb collar of old point
lace, rendered still more effective by
several of the rosettes of the black and
white braid. There is no standing
collar or band, as the newest style In
these Monte Carlo coats is to have the
neck left. open. There is no lining,
first, because none Is put into these
coats, and, second, because the mate.
rial is SO rich it will not bear lining.
The coat in the illustration is made
OF the pearl gray mohair which is so
fashionable this season. Travelling
dresses, house gowns and elegant tailor
suits as well as ordinary street gowns
are made of 1t. In black the mohair
Is refined, and in colors it is pretty and
durable. This coat is trimmed richly
with machine made lace In heavy in
crustations and with frilI to the stole
band as collar. When this shape is
intended for evening wear it may be
lined with silk in very light weight in
pink, blue or some other tint. Sulphur
yellow is a pretty shade and is particu-
larly effective with black
In shirt waists there is much tatting
set In among the tucks. 1t has light
ness all Its own and is very dainty and
pretty. In white linen lawn waists

hand wrought embroidery, generally
In struggling vines with foliage made

There is not enough Of this to look,

leaves and perhaps few tendrils.
Some OF them have rows of fine drawn
work between the tucks, and this Is

A Perfect Female Arm.

Measured from the armplt to the
wrist joint it should be twice the
length Of the head. The upper part Of
the arm should be large, full and well
rounded. The forearm must not lie too
fiat, not nearly so fiat as a mans, for
example. A dimple at the elbow adds
beauty to well proportional arm.
From a we'll nodded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long, grace
full curves to a symmetrical and round
ed wrist. 1t is better to have an arm
that harmonizes, even if the parts do
not follow the generally accepted lines.
For Instance a full, round upper
arm which is joined to a fiat or thin
forearm has a very bad effect 1t is
only a degree worse, however, than a
graceful well nodded forearm tackled
on to thin, scrawny upper arm.
Correctness of form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm The
owner must possess the power Of eX-
preston in her arms. Those nationali-
ties which show the most expression in
their arms are the Spanish, French and
Italians.-NeW York News.

Cover Crons For orchnras.

On the management of the orchard
depends success in fruit growing. All
work should be done at the proper
time. To secure the best results with
q cover crop that lives over winter it
should be ploWed under early in the
spring while it is sufficiently succulent
to rapidly decay. A crop that is plowed
under late in the spring, after it be-
comes more or less woody, decays
slowly, keeps the soil too loose and
serves then rather to dry it out than to
retain moisture. In some sections also
the crop may do injury by the eyapor-
alton of moisture from its leaves If al
lowed to grow TOO late in spring. The
kind OF crop to grow can only be deter
mined by local conditions. In general
the best crops are those that can be
grown after tree growth stops, con-
tinue growth late in the fail, make a
close, thick cover, live over winter and
furnish green manure. Red clover.
though a good green manurial crop, is
not suitable in orchards, as it does not
start well until late in summer and re-
quires too much time to reach full de-
vclopment. In Canada the mammoth
clover serves we'll In New York both
the mammoth clover and the European

But it is this division of duties that

is not expected 10 do anything else but
