Travelling Gowns

Many women are already beginning
to think of summer travelling suits to
wear on an ocean voyage. on a trip
to the mountains or to the>S Louis
Exposition. To meet this demand
merchants are showing an unusually
large assortment Of materials suitable
for sensible. durable gowns.
"Serges. both fine and heavy vale
cheviot serges and camel's hair chew
lots are out in great force, and are~be-
ing most cordially received every
where" says Crerand's Cloak Journal
But it is to the mohair family that
great and special prominence is being
accorded just now. Mohair for years
and years has come principally IN a
plain color-black, blue or brown. The
smart mohair for this season, however.
is in mixed effects, the raised cord pat
tern, stripes. checks, dots, etc. SOME
varieties have three or four distinct
colors IN one weave. The shepherd s
plaid in black and white and the small
polka dot in dark blue and white are
popular patterns for separate walking
skirts. The mohair. with a dark blue
ground that has a crossbar suggestion
in green and black, also promises to be
we'll liked.
THE separate skirt. for which mohair
is much used. is, of course, unlined.
The most popular model seems to be
the pleated skirt, but the pleats are
laid more closely together than they
were a couple Of years ago, and are
stitched fiat all about the hips The
line Of release is several inches higher
than was the fashion last year. the
pleat now falling free above the knee
AS to jackets, mohair Is best fashioned
into the Eton or the Norfolk. A good
deal Of dressiness is permitted to tn,
former model.

Only the oldest people now alive have
ever seen an old plank road. and yet in
the pioneer days fifty years ago the
plank toll road was a very common
thing all through Indiana. Wisconsin
and Michigan where timber was abun-
dant We recall one forty miles IN
length running from Fond du Lac, wis,
to Sheboygan, on Lake Michigan,
through the virgin forests OF that sec
ton. IL was built Of three inch white
oak plank cut ten feet long and laid on
stringers on the graded surface Of the
highway, q good road when new, but
when once out OF repair about as bad n
road as could be conceived Of. In those
days, before the building OF the rail-
ways, the travel over this road was
something immense, and the tolls col
lected from travellers made It a good in
vestment for the builders. Some Of the
finest timber ever grown IN the west
was used in the construction OF these
roads. There were also corduroy roads
in those days-roads built Of round logs
in place Of sawed plank. to ride over
which was a sure cure for rheumatism
and dyspepsia.

rREr PLANTING.

There are many mistakes made In
the matter of tree planting. A very
common one where trees are being set
in the home lot for shade and decora-
ton is to set them in straight rows In
stead Of irregularly in groups, the best
pattern to follow being natures meth
cd of artistic irregularity; then, the
trees being small, SO many seem to for
get they will grow to be large, and so
set them too near the house, only to
bury the house in dense shade and
shut out the sun. and 1t is rare to find
man with sand enough to cut down
the handsome trees which he planted
twenty years previously. Then mis-
takes are made, and bad ones, in the
selection of varieties. No man ever
regrets planting white elm, a hard
maple, white ash, catalpa, blue
spruce or white pine If they are
planted in the right place, but the
Lombardy poplar, the Balm of Gilead,
the cottonwood, the box elder and the
willow very soon outliye their useful
ness; then it quite often happens that
one may combine profit and aesthetic
beauty by planting fruit tree instead
of deciduous forest tree. No tree is
better suited for lawn decoration
than the cherry, either tame or wild.
while the plum will brighten the lawn
with its bloom in the spring and re-
ward NIL who seek its shade later on
with its fruit. For street planting
probably no tree gives such general
satisfaction as the American elm. We
would not, however, discourage any
one from planting the poor varieties
if that is the very best they can do,
for any sort Of tree is better than none
at all.
