great demand. Appropriate ornaments
on an evening gown, they are also for
lingerie sachets-and may, in fact, be
put to any purpose which an ordinary
sachet can serve.
The narcissus and pansy sachets here
pictured require one-inch satin ribbon.
The narcissus petals, of white ribbon,
are cut nearly an inch and half long,
and the rounded portions, which end
in very slight points, should start lit
tie past the middle of each strip. The
square ends are then carefully turned
under, preparatory to shirring. For the
center a bit of ribbon half the petals
width is used. The upper edge of it
must first be outlined with a touch of
yellow paint, or 1t may be closely over
cast with yellow silk. The five petals
and the center are then shirred together
and fastened firmly to tiny sachet,
half an inch wide and about an inch
long. 1t is made of white satin ribbon,

NEW IDEA IN GATES.
Just the Thing for Cattle Pastures
Where n Three-Wire Fence
Confines the Stock.

The following is a description of a
cheap and serviceable wire gate which
will be found satisfactory, especially in
places where gate is not often used.
1t, of course, would not do for sheep
or hogs, but will serve the purpose in
cattle pastures. where a three-wire
fence is sufficient to confine stock. Cut
three wires each about foot longer
than the distance between the posts,
and three short wires each six inches
long. FORM the short wires into loops
and fasten to post (A), (B, b, 3D. with
staples, the desired distance apart.

tened to the tufted sachet-pad, measur-
ing four by five inches, made of rib
bon and lightly wadded. A daisy may
be fashioned on the same plan, in four
inch ribbon, either yellow or white.
Two strips of ribbon six inches long
are used, the petals shaped like those
of the narcissus.
The heart-shaped corsage sachet OF
white satin is to wear around the neck
beneath ones lingerie. The rolled rib
bon edge and bow make a pretty fin
ish and it is suspended by a ribbon.
This should be placed in dainty heart
shaped box before sending us a Christ

this order consists of two pads about
two inches square with a small bow in
the center of each. They are fastened
to the ends of strip of baby ribbon
For the Japanese sachet make of Jap
anese silk a bag two and one-half by
three inches, and in the top fasten a

The pansy petals are rounded consid-

The larger rose sachet is used as a

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
1t Can he Used Not Only for Cisterns
and Floors But for Fence
Posts Also

There is little excuse for up to date
when concrete walks may be had around
house and barn with very small outlay
of money, provided the man is handy and
can do the work himself after a little in
struction, says Rural New Yorker. Be
sides the making of walks concrete is
being used in many other ways advan-
tageOusly and economically. During the
past season We have seen fence posts
made from stone and concrete that are
much cheaper than the cut stone post,
and just as durable. The plan of making
The posts was to dig down two feet into
the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft
ground, and then make a box the size
of post wanted which was filled with the
concrete and topped out according to
'ancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted
Tor hanging gates holes were bored in
The box and the eyes inserted before the
filling was done, taking care to have
same anchored well in the post A con-
crete floor is easily made in houses built
Of stone or brick, and renders a residence
practically fireproof. We saw floors of
this kind made last season that seem to
pc perfection. A wooden floor is first
made of rough lumber and on this is
laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete
Is spread six inches thick. When it
dries the wooden floor is removed and
the concrete is self-sustaining. The
convcrete is made by mixing together
Portland cement, sand and coal cindefs.
1t is said to cost but little more than a
frst-class floor made Of wood, including
the joists. We have seen number of
cisterns made out of concrete, no brick
being used for walling up. In making
a cistern of this kind it is necessary to
have a rough wooden wall made about
three inches all around from the dirt
and fill in space with concrete. After
the wood wall is removed one coat Of
cement completes the cistern, and it is
there for all time to come. The greatest
objection to iron fence posts is that they
are not solid in the ground, being so
small. By using a bed of concrete and
the base of all iron posts set in it will
be found that they will stand as we'll as
any other post.
