Shfrtwafst Chatter.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Shirtwaist chatter they term II at cne
boarding house where the feminine guests
are decidedly in the minority and clothes
constitute a perennial topic for conversa-
tion at the table.
The other morning one Of the few board
ers who has not yet succumbed TO the
shirtwaist fad-that is the homemade
variety-asked irritatedly at breakfast: Il
wonder IL Ii would be possible to have one
the everlasting shirtwaist being dragged
in?"
Perhaps it's a case Of sour grapes" re-
marked a pretty little blonde across the
table who had been talking shirtwalsts at
want to give sort of megaphone an
nouncement of the fact IL you'd broken .he
record for shirtwaist making in this expert
crowd" and the pretty girl waved her hand
at the crowd round the table, incidentally
ear.
The irritated boarder asked for more"
and the pretty boarder supplied the de-
mand. ION my way home from the office
yesterday afternoon" she said, Il bought
material for waist, cut Ii out and made IL
after dinner and I'm wearing 1t now and
she pointed triumphantly to the pretty
dimity blouse which was so becoming.
How about buttons and button holes.
Loue." was the question from the other
"Oh," was the laughing answer. II
don't need them. just punched holes and
slipped in these big buttons with the patent
fasteners. / fix the eyelets when l get
time"
The cranky boarder muttered something
about ''sackness," but the pretty girl
didn't pretend to hear. And shirtwaists
remain the topic of the hour and day.

Paper Napery.
The Pilgrim

Inc fllgrlm.
Artistic accessories of the table, in the
shape of doilies, casserole frills, ramequin
and sherbet cups are now within the reach
of every housekeeper since they are made
of paper and at most reasonable prices.
The hostess who has seen her most cher
ished piece of lace or embroidery ruined
by fruit or chocolate stain will find
these dainty doilies a boon, indeed; for
trifie extra she can have her monogram
on each piece. The beautiful Teneriffe
drawn work Is wonderfully initiated. as
we'll as the old English crochet work.
They are proof against liquids and hot
viands. despite their fragile appearance,
and there is no suggestion of soddenness,
as they are not filled until time for serv-
ing. Salad and ice cream cases come in a
pleasing variety of forms and coloring
so 1t is possible to carry out a color scheme
at slight expense. Strawberry ice served
in a green cup is suggestive of the month
Of roses, and for July there are number
of patriotic devices.
For children's parties these paper dishes.
supplemented by paper napkins of good
quality. will relieve the anxious mother Of
all worry over breakage and stains. While
for picnic parties, not only the annoyance
of breakage is done away with, but the
tired pleasure-seeker need not be burdened
with unnecessary luggage when homeward
bound.

The warm weather last night caused
nearly 1000 persons to gather at Fair Bank
to hear the concert by Ostendorf's Band
and the two vocal soloists, Miss Mabel
Hudson and Mr.. Jess E. Cain. Miss Hud-
sons voice seemed to be even sweeter and
more powerful than on the opening night
and when she sang "Roll On, Silver Moon, -
she was forced TO respond to several en-
cores.
The instrumental programme consisted
mostly of Victor Herbert selections. To-
nights programme by the band will in
clude many classic numbers
Prepare tions are being made for a grand
celebration of independence day at Fair
Bank Patriotic music will be played by
the band at both matinee and evening per-
formances and Miss Hudson will sing
several patriotic songs, including "The
Star-spangled Banner" and We'll Never
Haul the Old Flag Down.

RECKER-BUTLER.
One OF the loveliest weddings OF the month
took place last night at the home of Pres
ident and Mrs. Scot Butler of Irvington.
when their daughter, Elizabeth Anne, and
Mr.. Carlos Recker were married The
wedding was a notable and interesting one
and was witnessed by the relatives and
a few friends of the two families. The Rev.
]. W. Comfort. OF Evansville. formerly OF
Irvington. pronounced the ceremony
The wedding appointments were simple
and there were no attendants. The ribbons
which formed the aisle down which the
bride walked were held by her brothers. Mr..
John Butler. of FL Ora. Mexico. and Mr..
Ovid Butler. Miss Butler entered with her
father. preceded only by a little flower maid
Margaret Recker. who wore q dainty frock
OF white. The bridal gown was an exquis-
itely fashioned white silk null with
transparent yoke and stock OF lace. and
large medallons set above the shirrings of
TIE skirt. A tulle veil was worn and the
bridal boquet was a shower OF bride roses
Mr.. Recker entered the ceremony room with
the clergyman and met the bride before
the bank OF palms set against the west wall
The house decorations were exceptionally
artistic Groups Of palms were used ef-
fectively In the spacious rooms and the
staircase and chandeliers were draped with
smiax. Red roses were used In the first
drawing room. and for the buffet In the din
ing room there was a mass OF marguerites
The second drawing room. which was used
for the ceremony room, was entirely In
green except for an immense cluster OF red
roses In the wall pocket against the high
bookcase. and the same color note was Pc
peated In the crimson roses In the basket
carried By the flower maid. The lawn was
hung with japanese lanterns and made in
sitlrg BY rustic seats and swings. Assist

growing of forage crops and the
feeding of stock have been more gen
orally ignored than anywhere else?
Suppose that a cotton farmer had
raised an abundance of forage in the
shape of corn and peas and had some
cattle to eat it during the winter.
Would not a bunch of fat cattle
bring him cash in the spring at bet
ter profit than borrowing money at
10 per cent merely to raise more cot
ton, and expect that cotton to pay
the debt, give him living, feed the
mules and pay for the mules too?
1t is the system of cotton cropping
that makes the farmer spring-poor
like the stock that stand out all win
ter at the straw stack or in the old
field. The remedy is a change of sys-
tenn of farming and not a change of
system of borrowing. IF a farmer
takes care to have something to sell
all the year through to enable him to
pay expenses in cash he will own the
cotton crop when it is made, but in
any system of raising money or
goods on the strength of the cotton
crop, he will always be in the same
or-nnor condition -----

Mr.. Fred. A. Oggy writing in
the Worlds Work on "The Proper
ton of City and Country Popula-
tion," finds reasons for believing
that our cities have reached their
greatest proportionate growth, and
that henceforth the country will rel
atively gain rather than lose. If we
are to have anything like the popu-
lation predicted by such writer's as
Professor Hart, of Harvard, who
thinks the Mississippi Valley alone
is capable of supporting 35O,OOO,OOO
people in comfort, the cult of farm
ers- must increase to supply food
stuffs. The change in agricultural
methods, the growth of intensive
farming, will be the rule of the fu-
ture; small farms, economically ad-
ministered, will supplant the worm
out estates, and all this will mean an
increase Of rural population.

cover more deeply as they are sown
later in the season. A neighbor had
a very fine crop one year with the
seed just lightly narrowed in, and
almost a total failure the next year
treated the same way. The first was
a moist spring while the latter was
dry. Professor Massey condemns
the spring sowing of oats in the red
clay lands on account of the numer-
Gus failures caused by the spring
drouths so common in the South.
##
We notice that the sale of North
ern grown seed Irish potatoes is
much smaller this spring than usual.
Our people made good fall crops and
are planting them freely. 1t will not
be many years before the South will
be furnishing the North with seed
Irish potatoes. Another thing that
we are glad to see is a decrease in
Congressional seed sent out from
Washington. 1t is a good idea to
send out seeds of rare, meritorious
plants to be tried in different sec
tions of the country, but to send out
a lot of Flat Dutch cabbage that
may make an INFERIOR crop 80 r,v..v
nonsense. Then ask that the results
be reported. Did any body ever re-

Making Good Butter Without a Sepa-
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
I see a great many articles in the
papers, on butter making; and how
to make good butter. Nearly all
agree that no one can make good but
ter without the use of a separator.
There are hundreds of farmers in
North Carolina who keep from one
to three COWS. Many of them are not
prepared to do dairy business. Yet
they have more butter than they need
for their own use.
1t is to this class I wish to speak
a word. Here is my plan. Dig
well, four feet in diameter and twelve
feet deep. Build a house over it 10
10, six feet pitch. Build frame
that you can let down in the we'll.
Fix windlass; four inches in diane
ter is large enough. The smaller the
windlass, the easier you can draw up
the weight. Get some tin cans. Fiji
ty-pound lard cans are very good.
They will hold about seven gallons.
As soon as the milk is drawn from
the cow, put it in these cans and let
it down in the well.
If it does not turn at the proper
time, draw it up and set it out. Of
course this process applies to the
summer season. And by this method
you can make as good butter as can
be made by any process known to the
genius of man. / have used the we'll
for two summers, and it works all
right, no difference how hot the
weather.
