HERE is no doubt that we:

set US in Paris. and are
making it a white season.
There has. been q practical.

hi - reason for the wearing Of
white, odd as the word practical" may
sound in connection with such an UNI
seviceable color. It means that in the
cold weather from which we all suf-
fered in the late spring and early sum
mer, white fabrics gave suggestion
of sunny days to come. and yet were as
warm as cloths of darker hue. Thus
hopsacks, Serges, cloths, and hun
dred and one new canvas materials and
voiles in cream and white have been
much in vogue during the past two
months.
OF the white gowns none are more
attractive than the French tailor built
affairs. Ever so smart is-.a white
serge, made with series Of seven
fiounces, graduated from about four
inches below the waist, and very
frou-frouy at the feet. Each of these
flounces has a border of large black
spots of various sizes. These spots
also form trimming on the smart
coat bodice, which is finished with a
yoke of most exquisite lace, with a
touch of rose-pink underneath, and
will be worn with wide band and a
simple black hat, with no decoration
beyond wreath of glorious velvet
vieux-rose pansies. With this is to be
carried white silk en-tout-cass with
black spots thereon. This black and
white costume is the very essence: of
smartness. To wear over it is loose
taffeta coat, with a big pelerine cape
Of old guipure, lined with zibeline.
Yet another French frock, which is
extraordinarily simple, is in q peri
Wrinkle blue cloth edged with the
sweetest little entre-deux of cream
lace, outlined with black and white
chenille braid. This is made in the
form of tunic, fastening with early
victorian buttons, finishing with a
black panne belt, with straps of en-
broidery decorating the rather full,
fairly short skirt When I say short,
mean it just touches the ground all
round. .~
Now, in direct contrast to this, and
in view of a hot summers day, there
are some glorious hand-painted mus
Inns on silky ground. Pompadour
designs are, of course, most popular,
and their beauty is wonderfully en-
HANGED by the addition of little coat,
either in very fine, old-fashioned en-
broidered lawn, or some real lace.
The skirts of these are accordion

most of them are made with separate
f1ounce, which joins the skirt below
the knees in order to give the neces.
sary amount of frou-frou.
Muslin and lace gowns really deserve
pages to themselves. A pale green
muslin has punches Of orange pome-
granates painted thereon, and seems to
consist of an intricate mass of gaug-
ings, tuckings and insertions. A very

lures, and large pulled early Victorian
sleeves, finished at the elbow by wide

The hat designed to be worthy of
this gown turns of the face in very
becoming and slightly Victorian man
ner, and is of fine white chip narrowly
edged with burnt chip, which is clev-
erly accumulated with small black
lines, for most smart things have q
touch of black nowadays, and very be-
coming it is, too, and the long soft
tulle strings, to tie or float at pleas
ure, passing round the crown and held
by greenish Part nouveau stud, are
black also. Soft white plumes droop
under the brim over the hair and away
to almost touch the shoulder, just dis
closing en- route a tight chou of rosy
''champafgn" satin, while cluster of
roses of the same fashionable hue,
with their glossy shaded leaves, deco
rate the crown and complete this
charming picture chapeau. AS finish
ing touches come the stole and sun
shade. The former is of softest white
chiffon, much gagged between hori-
,zontal lines of wide ruching. >>
I have seen some lovely 1880 bonnets
in chip and chiffon, and, indeed, sew
eral composed wholly of lace, They
are mostly of a large order with
strings, and, therefore, very closely re-
semble a picture hat, finished with a
single feather and rose.
I think the best hats are still of the
Gainsborough type in beautiful chips,
in black, white and pale shades. Some
are simply trimmed with wonderful
choux of ribbon and an equally won
derful buckle, while others have a
long, sweeping feather, These hats
are very distinctive, but must not be
ranked among economical headgear,
The Louis XIV. shoes with big
buckles never come amiss, and your
hosiery can be as fine. and as elaborate
as you please. This is of as much Inn
portance as. the rnderskirt,> some ex-
amples Of which are made in variety
of bright foulards or demure black and
white and blue and white checks. .
White cambria petticoats are delight
full with muslin frocks, but I think the
foulards, plain glaces and soft washing
silks are more in keeping with the lin
en- or serge frock. BE

sion of the various tracts OF waste land
and plant them with pine" r..
:, 4 preliminary survey Of 1000 acres in
northern Minnesota has already been
made, the planting of which will follow
as soon as arrangements can be made
for it.
In the western states, where the agri-
cultural land is limited in area, but
highly developed through irrigation,
forest planting will necessarily be con-
lined almost exclusively to the noun
talns. 1t is true that in certain parts of
southern California the profitable cul-
ture OF the Eucalypts for timber is being
carried on even now on very valuable
agricultural land. The climatic adapta-
lions OF this tree prevent it's general use,
and no other tree grows rapidly enough
in that region to pay on valuable land.
A forest of good density acts in two
ways-both beneficial: 1t greatly les
sens evaporation and it diminishes the
surface torrents Immediately following
a rain, to percolate gradually through
the soil and to appear at lower levels in
the form OF springs. 1t is often the case
in the western mountains that where
the forest is needed most it lis totally
lacking or else is too thin to exert. any
appreciable influence on stream flow.
This Is true of very large portions of the
San Gabriel and San Bernardino noun
tains in southern California, where by
fire and grazing the forest has been en-
tirely destroyed. Some of the best
orange-producing and lemon-producing
land in the United States depends upon
water from mountains for irrigation,
With water it is worth from 81 500 to
$2,OOO per acre, while beside it is land If

Ing, because there is no water available
to 1rr1gate 1t. The restoration of the
forest on the denuded mountains would
according to experience in similar conn
tries, so increase the water supply that
much more of this land could be irri-
gateo. Increase the supply enough to
1rrlgate 1000 acres of this land and the
value OF 100000 is created. There are
brought about within 20 years by plant
ing at an expense of less than $50 600
Under such conditions the practicabil-
lty OF planting is unquestionable.. In
less degree this condition exists widely
In the western states,
The government has already begun
experimental planting in the San Ca
brlel, San Bernardino and San Jactnto
forest reserves in southern California
which are estimated by the United
States geological survey to contain
l,447, 900 acres of brush land, upon which
all valuable timber has been DESTROYED

on the .driest spots; incense cedar. smear
pine and western yellow pine on the
moister and cooler places. And what
