NOTES FROM THE EDITION.
Missouri this year leads all
states in the union in the value
OF her crops.
Missouri agriculturists this year
are more prosperous than ever
before.
Missouri wheat fields this year
have yielded in greater abund-
ance and of a better quality than
ever before.
Missouri's corn this year is big
ger, more abundant and of finer
grain than ever before.
Missouri peaches this year are
larger, brighter and jucier than
ever before.
Missouri's big red apples this
year are redder, of fuller flavor
and better than ever before.
OF the last two products, there
is not such a general abundance,
as on some previous years, but
wherever there is a crop it is a
record breaker.
Everything in Missouri this
year has thriven. The State has
been blessed with abundant rains,
and vegetation of all kinds was
never before so luxuriant. With
plenty of grain and grass, Mis-
souri, stock will thrive this year
as never before.
The wealth that comes from
the soil is pouring into the peck
cts of the farmers, and the result
is prosperity all over the State,
for when the farmer has money
all other industries reap its ben
eft.
Bankers, merchants, manufac.
turers and even the men who dig
in the mines below the ground,
feel the effects of Missouri's big
!. crops.
Other States have big crops but
none are making such a record a.

For pretty hands injured by the ap-
pearance of premature wrinkles use the
milk cure and avoid scented soap, says
a reliable authority. Sensitive skins
become withered by frequent contact
with perfumed soap and water. The
very best CASTLE soap is preferable to
any other when the skin on a pair of
fair and pretty hands begins to look
dry and filled with tiny crisscrossed
lines The hand bath of fresh, unskim-
med milk is better still A notable in
stance of identifying the hands is that
of a well known prima donna. Her
hands are slim and white. but they be-

as those of a woman of sixty. friend

use milk, my child" was her conso-
lation. EVERY morning a quart of the
best milk is sent to my rooms in the
hotel, and four times day I soak my
hands Just a moment two in the
sweet, white fluid. 1 dry them gently
with a very old piece of soft, pure lin
en-, and they shine and glitter like new
ivory. Milk is tonic to dry skins such
as yours and mine. 1t also tightens up
the outer cuticle and lends it a downy
softness.
"In summer use a milk bath for my
hands once a day, and when require a
bath for them in soap and water 1 use
only the purest CASTLE soap and water,
in which a double handful of oatmeal
has laid soaking for a quarter of an
hour"
The quickest way to whiten the hands
is to sleep in loose gloves lined with
almond paste. To make the paste stir
into half a cupful of almond meal
enough powdered oatmeal to make a
moderately stiff paste Soak the hands
in warm suds until all the dirt is re-
moved and rub little of the almond
oil into the hands before putting on the
gloves

cially adapted to the needs of the Au-
gust dog days. But the well equipped
wardrobe boasts at least one rather
warm and comfortable light flannel
lounging robe to be worn on cool and
damp days.
Pelerines, boleros. large collars and
huge flowing sleeves are some of the
pretty features of the neglige. The
empire is a very popular style. and
when a Josephine costume is too ambi-
tious the short wasted matinee Cir,
died with a dainty sash is an accepta-
BILE substitute. The most expensive
and elaborate peignoirs are of delicate
white lawn hand embroidered in small
wreaths and tiny flowers and lavishly
trimmed with valenciennes lace or with
an insertion of drawn work. If money
is not a consideration, the shops are
full of dainty boudoir gowns, but the
girl who is clever with her needle with
a few yards of lawn and lace can
evolve attractive little affairs for her
self at triAing cost.
At this time of sartorial magnifcence
it is absolutely imperative that the
stockings and slippers should match
the dressing or lounging gown, and
fad of the moment here in Paris is to
paint stockings and slippers to har-
monte with the frock. OF course with
the kimono are worn beautifully en-
broidered Chinese slippers.

camisole and skirt in one-have peep
adopted by q number of fashionable
women. They save trouble and are
graceful, two attributes appreciated by
the swagger mondaine.
All these skirts play a prominent
part in the summer wardrobe, as most
of the dresses are made without lin
ings. The bargain hunter is safe in
purchasing these skirts for use at pres
ent or to wear with winter toilets in
the house.
Lingerie always suggests the corset
and it's styles, and the French certainly
excel in the making of this very i'm
portant article of the toilet. The sum-
mer corset is thing of beauty with it's
dainty strappingS of ribbon, which in
many cases compose the entire affair.
The corsetiere who knows her BUSH
ness allows no woman nowadays to
have anything but a perfect figure.
She supplies what is wanting and con-
ceals what is redundant. A fad of the
moment is to lace the corset down the

beautiful robes.

closes the pretty jupon beneath. An
extravagant skirt departure is to have
the smart petticoat fashioned from
crystalline, a material resembling india
silk. Some of the newest models in
finest muslin have lace edged deep
hounces up to the knees to interrun
with ribbon attached to a yoke with
appliQues and veinings connecting the
two parts
Very lovely, too, are the petticoats
of white cambria with tiny tucks, in
sertions, ruches and edgings of point
d'esprit. while soft india silk affairs
smothered in lace are particularly
dainty to don with the lace princess
frock, which is SO becoming to a per-
feet figure.
For morning wear with the linen
dresses skirts are made of stout linen
canvas and plentifully trimmed with
coarse lace. They stand lots of hard
wear, and the tub seems to improve
rather than to impair their beauty.

Some of the simpler linen batiste

Paris just now one feels that
the Parisians have obligingly
stepped out of town to leave
room for the visiting Americans, who
seem to be making their presence felt
all over the gay capital after the man
ner of thi| dominating and strenuous
people. Along the fashionable avenues
the closed maisons and the great hotels
of the socially elect speak only too
conclusively Of the summer exodus.
The concierge. perhaps with his fam
lily, may be seen taking his ease at the
gate, and that is all the evidence of life
and animation visible. In the Bots and
at the nearby restaurants in the bouIe-
wards one sees magnificently arrayed
mondaines, but the haute monde is
conspicuous by its absence.
1t is a great time. however. for the
bargain hunter, and these hot August
through the shops In leisurely and
dignified fashion entirely unknown in
America for marked down prizes
Lingerie seems to be the special OBJ
ject OF the chase, and as dainty under
wear Is characteristic of the French
woman it is not surprising that the
stranger within the gates of Paris
should visit the leading magasins with
the purchase in view of lingerie simple
OF de luxe. Many women think that
Partisan lingerie is always elaborate,
but as a matter of fact French under
wear is extremely simple in appear
ance, though made of the finest cam
brio or lawn and exquisitely ornament
ed with fine handwork. Embroidery is
distinct feature of all Paris lingerie;
not the machine made edging that is
bought by the yard and associated with
long cloth. but dainty sprays and sep
arate flowers and dots done. of course
by hand Although these embroideries
are so delicate in appearance and are
worked on fine lawn and pure linen,
they have great wearing properties as
well as an artistic value
At the present moment the utmost
simplicity is observed in lingerie, even
That made for the most expensive
trousseaus. Very fine valenciennes and
eeedlework laces are de rigueur, and
the monogram of the fortunate owner
is worked on every piece. A great deal
of expense is put into the working of
this monogram and the number of
entire deux surrounding it, but the eff
feet is that of extreme simplicity.
All the summer models of lingerie
are perfectly charming with their dain-
~ arrangement of fine embroidery, lace
frillings and delicate stitching. The
empire robes de mutt and chemises are
the favorite patterns, although many
of the smartest nightdresses have the
Holuminous cape arrangement of the
1850 fashions. But certainly the en-
pire empiecement is far more becorn-
ing, and many brides are keeping to
this favorite model. Some of the mod
els de luxe in chemises are made with
a narrow strap over the shoulders and
are further adorned with fine medal
lions and wreaths incrusted with a
tracery of the finest stitching sur
rounding the applications. Each che
mise is bordered with a narrow frill
surmounted by a garland or motif of
embroidery. The chemise is always
