CUBAN" CIGAR
FILTERS FROM OHIO,

Cuban tobacco has for generations been
considered the finest in the world. par
ticularly that which comes from certain
restricted areas. notably the Vuelta Aba
10. But the boast that owhere else in the
world can the right soil and conditions be
found has been rudeiy disproyed by the
calm assertion of Secretary Wilson. in a
recent agricultural report:
"A conference has been held In Washing
ton recently by the tobacco experts Of the
department TO consider the general situation
and to advise as to the methods 10 be pur-
sued during the next season. especially in
Ohio and Texas.
Arrangements have been made for sx-
Fermentation during, the coming crop sea-
son. with good prospects of producing hne
filler tobacco in these two States. Leaf has
been grown that canno be DISTINGUISHED
from the imported Cuban when properly
fermented."
Representatives sent by the Bureau Of
Soils to the States mentioned located tho
soil type required TO grow the finest leaf.
Most OF it Is still in forest. Samples Of leaf
grown there submitted TO New York and
Philadelphia dealers have been pronounced
by those authorities TO be the real Cuban
leaf with the true Havana flavor. Survey
ing parties have been sent out to locate tho
boundaries OF the new soil.
In 1900 Cuba sent US but 100000 cigar.
while the home product aggregated nearly
six billion. But the quality was quite In
ferior. Tn experiments now begun as to
demonstrate that quality as we'll as guam

In Cuba the methods are most primitive.

employ all its time day and night to keep

Secretary Wilson'S comment on this was:
Americans will not sit up all night to pick
caterpillars. They will spray the leaves by
machinery"

In response to these preferences Mrs
Lyon has been always distinguished in her
gowning. None of the club sisters have
been more becomingly or more deliberately
arrayed than She, and with this concession
to the feminine love Of finery Mrs. Lyon
has contrived to Undue everything with
which she has been connected in club life
with an air of social festiv!ty.
She has cultivated the habit of turning of
epigrams at club banquets where other
speakers were laboriousy wading through
long addresses on serious subjects.
MRS. LYONS NOVEL.
Mrs. Lyons first novel. prudence Pratt
will appear shortly from the press Of
Messrs. George V. Blackburne Company.
1t is a novel of social life in New York
and its suburbs. The scene opens at Glen

Mrs. Prudence Pratt. a pretty young widow
of seven years standing. Who has gathered
there a house party of her friends.
AmoEg thes. are counts and countesses
and miilionaires and millionariesses and
other shining lights in the social and in
teliectual world.
Nest important to the development of the
story are Robert Elton and Olive Stuyvesant
Sherman. Here is how the first is described
by Mrs. Prudence Pratt:
Robert Elton is a man worthy of admira-
ton. His father died when he was quite a
boy and left the family with the merest
pittance.

South, but coming here without substantial

gracious patronage Of the fine arts, Mrs.
Lyon has always demonstrates her keen
comprehension OF human character, espe-
cially feminine character, and her ability
to put tat comprehension to good use.
Mrs. Lyon is the newest leader among
women's clubs to have achieved success in
SO short a time. For only four years has she
been at all prominent in club circles.
During that time she has been president
OF the Eclectic Club. an organization upon

and the sleeves, which are short. are
of the satin. with a rufIle of lace under
a full frill of satin. The bodice is filled
in above the girdle with soft folds of
white chiffon. Clusters of tiny pink
~rosebuds are caught in with the knots
of black. Velvet ribbon adorns the
front of the bodice.
The slashed seam effect has suffered
no loss of favor by the changes of fash
ion. Indeed the idea is daintily carried
out in n of the new shirts-novelties
in which are constantly appearing.
The waist is in pale blue nuns yelling
piped with plaid silk. The sleeves are
plain and full with a straight cuff. The
back fits closely and a distinguishing
feature of the design Is the absence of
a yoke. The front shows the slashed.
or slot-seam effect, with two narrow
plaits on either side running from
shoulder a to belt.
There are two or three shades
among the spring colorings-holly-
hook yellow. dove blue-whatever tint
that may be-and a daring shade of
cerise. They are quite pretty, but
with the exception of the second, need
the SOLDERING touch Of black to make
them adapted to any but evening wear.
