An as blue an glad an helpful as the cam mid

The blazin' dogwood blossoms How they flash

Lord, the hawtree holds a sermon that is sent
direct from you;
An the bendin' cherry branches. an, the elder

There's the perky dandelion bobbin' up so fresh

Till the whole enduring hillside has its polkydots
An the blossomin' May apple, hidin' underneath

Sends tipglin sort o. flavor till IL coaxes ont

FATHER Or LOVER Or BOTH.


Daddy, Daddy, how am going to
write you this letter
should feel ashamed of myself for
not having the courage to go straight
to you and tell you my secret, as a
sensible young woman should. In
stead run up to my room and lock-
ed myself in, to write you all my
heart. When I have finished, shall
slip the letter under your bedroom
door.
Here it is: love another man
another besides you Daddy; and the
conviction is nearly breaking my
heart.
The man 1 love-the other one
yes, even great but my poor heart
aches unutterably with the thought
that, if I go to him, 1 must leave YOU.
Leave you, dearest, best, truest father
girl ever had.
w ncn IOOk DaCk over the twenty
three years of my life-all motherless
years-and recall how we-you and
/, Daddy-have walked hand in hand,
heart to heart, all the way, through
sunshine and shadow, over smooth
paths and rough, drawing ever closer
to each other with the passing OF the
years, when l think of all this, and
then realize that l am actually ask
ing you to let me leave you, actually
deserting-oh, l could tear my heart
out for its treachery, 1 could weep my
eyes dry for very bitterness of soul
When l think of leaving you for
this new love, l despise myself and
want to go down at your feet and
beg forgiveness but, ah, Daddy,
when 1 think of giving up my new
love cannot bear the pain of it for
one moment. / can not, I can not
And here l am, asking you to let
me go. Will you ever know the pain
it gives me? Almost could implore
you not to let me go-to hold me, to
hold ME, even against my will.
But no, you will give me your dear
smile of immeasurable tenderness and
bid me seek my happiness, and then
my heart will bleed in an agony of
self-reproach.
Daddy, if you can forgive me, how
silly of me to say that If you can
believe that still love you, that is
foolish, too. If-ah, must ask it
if you can give me up to him, tell me
SO, by putting a rose on my breakfast
plate in the morning. Don't speak to
me then, for my heart is too full.
Just put the rose there. And then,
after while, l will try to talk sensi-
bly, to you about it-about him.
Goodnight, sweet Daddy. I hard
ly know what sort of state my heart
is in. ]. only know that l love two
men with the very soul of me. That
sounds dreadful, but one of them is
my idolized father, and the other
ah, put the rose there in the morn
ing, Daddy Your loving

MEASURING CORN IN THE BIN.

There are numerous methods OF
measuring corn in bins, but as there
is difference in the weight of corn,
it is nearly impossible to tell exactly
how much is in bin by measure.
But for an approximate estimation
these seem to be as near as any.
Rule for Shelling Corn.-Multiply
the length of the bin by the width and
that by the height and you have the
number of cubic feet in the bin. Null
tiply the number of cubic feet by
eighteenth (.S) and you have the
number of bushels of shelled corn.
Rule for Ear Corn.-Find the cubic
feet in your bin as in the former rule
and multiply the sum by the number
of cubic inches in a foot (I728) and
divide by 3S4o (the number OF CUBIC
inches supposed to make bushel.)

There are suits. however and very popu-
| lar they are. too, which have the skirt of
linen in natural tone inserted with ecru
colored lace. and the entire waist made OF
the same.
Black velvet IL used as a relief IN such a
\ suit. and the fast dye goods that will not

ance of the suit. and in no way smuts or

This velvet will trim the collar and cuffs
and as well form the belt. and in some
cases little tab effects edge the self-yoke.
LACE MEDALLION
SEEN ON LINEN SUITS.
Another style Of linen suit. although not
quite SO new. is still very much worn by
the fashionables. and shows lace medallions
inserted all over or else applied on in the
same style.
The yoke and cuffs are also of lace. These
medallfons are round and are to 3,s inches
in diameter. Cluny is used for this purpose.
although Plauen lace is more of a favorite
here than it Is in any other kind of a linen
suit
Stylish as are these white and ecru eff
fects colors receive their share of miladi's
attention.
Blue is the most stylish and in
Dresden tone is particularly pleasing. Pink
and also green are worn. but they are not
as modish the blue
The lawn dresses of this season are in
deed beautiful in their simplicity The ma
jority. like the linen effects. are very little
trimmed. but depend on the material itself
for their ornateness
For this reason attractive lacy patterns
are all the rage. and are shown in an ar
ray Of attractive styles. The combination
lace and dotted pattern Is particularly
pleasing one.
These dots really belle their name in the
majority of cases, being as large as a 90
cent piece.
OF course. there is a certain amount of
fuffiness in the lawn dresses which does not
appear in the linen effects.
The trains are inclined to be longer and
the gown fits the figure more neatly The
idea Of the skirts is to assist in every way
to bring out the Venus-like form in the
wearer-a style OF figure all the rage to-
day.
Waists, though many of them are very
simple. with but slight blouse in front, |
in others run to a more elaborate FORM
The simulated coffee effect is considered
very good. The Handkerchief waist is an
other pleasing novelty. In most Of these
models the yoke Is plainly outlined.
The lawn gown, like the linen effect. has

PLAIN SKIRT WITH
A SHORT TRAIN.
A very stylish form OF skirt in these ef-
fects is a plain model, just escaping the
ground in front and showing suggestion
of a train in the back, but, nevertheless.
made with but little fullness. This skirt Is
inserted with two or more wide bands OF
lace.
These bands are not put on in symmetri-
cal form. but. starting from the middle of
the front of the garment, they extend to
the rear with an upward tendency. form
ing very wide V.
This effect is repeated in two or three
sets of parallel bands, although some skirts
simply show very wide single band. with
the front of the V slightly below the knees.
This lace band is usually edged with one
or more tucks about an inch in width, while
the bands measure from eight to ten inches

novel method is adopted. The scalloped
edge of the yaIloon is at the upper instead
OF the lower edge.
The waists of these suits are usually al
most as plain as the skirts though in some

BLOUSE FRONTS
SEEM TO BE .FAvoRITEs.
Blouse fronts seem to be the favorites.
while the lace yoke and collar are almost
invariably seen.
The sleeves are rather large and full. on
the bishops order. The sleeve, like the
rest Of the garment. is happy combina-
ton of lace with the body material. In
some Of the models the entire full lower
sleeve is of lace. as is also the tight cuff.
A rather novel feature expressed in some
of the gowns is a cape Of self material
This Is collarless and in some original mod
els has the general effect Of a separate cape.
1t may be adorned with the lace. or then
again French knots are used as trim
ming.
The yoke Of lace IL usually 80 constructed
as TO show the skin of the wearer under
meath. giving a pretty and summary effect
to the garment
These suits. as . rule. are very little
lined; in fact. their very nature precludes
the possibility Of any such treatment. The
collars, however. when they are Of lace are
sometimes slightly stiffened with feather
bone or some such light material.

appeared In the lace-inserted style this sea-
son. and some very attractive numbers are
seen. showing wide inserted bands of C1uny
or some other handsome lace.
Quite pretty idea is to insert the skirt
with bands of this lace at equal distances
and Their to relieve the lower part by self
tucking- This form is also carried out in
the waists.
For dressie- wear the lace net or the
dotted Swiss gown trimmed with ribbons
is considered very modish. These ribbons
are in self-color. which means either pure
white OF a light cream.
A novel idea is to apply the ribbons in
graduated widths. some seven or eight or
more being applied together, each one a
trifie wider thar.jts predecessor.
The silk shirt-waist suit. like the linen
and the lawn, is shown inserted with bands
OF lace
Some Of these suits show the lace applied
on both waist and skirt to form the "
effect referred to. In others it takes the

front is very stylish. This was new mode

been revived to a considerable e. eat
A relief in the shape of little silk-embroid-
cred knots on the lace lends very pretty
and novel appearance to the whole scheme
OPENWORK HOSE WORN
WITH PATENT-LEATHER SHOES.
Attractive as miladrs suit may be, she
must see to 1t that her hat. her gloves her
parasol and her footwear are all in keeping
On her feet she will wear either black
openwork lace hose with patent leather
shoes or else white silk hose with white kid
or canvas ties. The ordinary black shoe
will soil the edge of Cthe skirt, and for this
reason is never worn.
Or her hands white silk gloves or lace
mitts are the proper thing
The parasols of this season for such cos
tunes are naturally those that harmonize
best While chiffon effects deliberately
tucked and plated and showing overhang-
ing edges are very modish. The coaching.
however. fancily trimmed, is also considered
stylish.
