NEW NEEDLEwoRK NOTES,
o1essy Details That Are in Evidence
In the Later Feminine
Apparel.

Nainsook is almost universally used
tor nightgowns, both for summer and
winter. The cambria ones are worn
very little.
very many of the most beautiful
Jew cloth gowns are worked in eye
.ets, along with other embroidery, in
ofoderle Anglaise fashion.
IN sewing on buttons, if the knot is
placed On the right side of the cloth,
oi.ectly under the button, the thread
VIII De less liable to break and be-
come loosened, and the button will re-
main on longer.
Bulgarian embroidery and Russian
cross-stitch work make effective trim
nlngs for children's school frocks, and
are much smarter worked into the ma
terlal itself than bought in bands by
the yard.
a special walking skirt petticoat is
. necessity in a complete feminine
wardrobe. No woman can hope to at
tam the really correct hang" for her
outer skirt without one These are
IN view in a design that clears the
ground by about four inches and has
one, TWO or three deep ruff1es for a
trimming.
openwork embroidery is used in the
new gored petticoat flounces to get
combination Of extreme scantness at
the top Of the founce with many addi-
tlonal yards at the hem. Some of the
newest skirts, especially the short
ones, have the flounce made up Of
dozens of graduated cores, hemstitched
together, and in the handsomest skirts
each gore carries a spray of flowers
or some conventional design, hand
embroidered.
One sees few cloth collars in the
shops handsomely embroidered by
hand and applied with curious little
motifs. They come in white, black
and few colors, and make lovely
accessory to the cloth gown of similar
shade. Deeper than these is white
cloth collar that reaches the proper
ton Of a shoulder cape, embroidered
with handsome padded easter lilies.
A novelty in hand work appears on
one of the lovely new brown dresses
suitable for house or evening wear
It Is of brown mousseline and part of
both bodice and skirt are much tucked
and shirred. On the bodice are a
number Of taffeta motifs embroidered
in antique gold. These are applied to
an empiecement of handmade mesh
done in heavy brown silk. The silk
used is almost as heavy as embroidery
silk and the meshes are squares a
quarter Of an inch in diameter each.
The greater part of the tight forearm
Of the sleeve is of this mesh over layer
Of brown chiffon. The dress is all in
the lovely brown, save for the girdle,
which is composed of six rows of vel
vet ribbon. Three are of the brown
and three of deep nasturtium. They
are used alternately and overlap deep
~ at the sides.

Apples Fried in Batter.

parboil. Then fry crisp, but do not
allow them to blacken. Core as many
large, tart apples as are required, but
do not pare. Slice in three or four
crosswise rounds, and dip in batter

COLD STORAGE ON FARM.
Suggestions for the Construction Of
an Underground House Where
Frost Cannot Reach.

Whatever may be its disadvantages,
the farm cellar is about the only place
on the farm where a temperature above
freezing can be maintained throughout
the winter, and as the pit cannot or at
least should not be disturbed during
the winter, we may expect the cellar to
be the chief storing place for apples for
winter consumption for some years to
come.
The "dugout" or cave, so much used

vegetables, butter and fruits, and as

storage, depending upon how they are
built ant ventilated. Some of them are
not ventilated at all and the heterogen-
GUS mixture of everything to be pre-
served into which the cyclone refu-
gee dashes is not conducive to the best
keeping of fruit.
This is the best method fo- keeping ap-
pies in the fall, unless ice or artificial
cooling is used. Some modification of
the plan is adopted by alt-arge apple
growers, usually in connection with
their packing plants.
The dugout mentioned above, if prop
erly constructed and attended to when
in use, is cheap and successful method
of storing small quantities of apples. It
is made by digging into side hill SO that
only the entrance end is out of the
ground. Sometimes the walls are stoned
up, sometimes cemented, rough board
ed on study, or left bare. Rough beams
are laid across, upon which boards on
brush are put and dirt shoveled on, or
the cave may be arched with brick,
stone or cement.
The dugout should be well ventilated.
For this purpose there should be slid
ing door and large iiue extending up
through the roof at the opposite end.
Put valve in this flue and open it and
the sash on cool nights in the fall, clos
ing them when warmer. Adjust winter
ventilation to the temperature and dan
ger of freezing.
By increasing the size and complexity
Of the dugout, and adding more appli-
ances for ventilation, We have what IS
called hillside storage. Fig. l shows
cross section plan OF such a storage
house. 1t is to be placed SO the long
way is parallel with the hill, to save
labor in excavating. The height may be
six feet in the clear or more, if desired
CEDAR posts are set at the sides, with
shoulder cut at the top to receive the
210 joists, which are spiked to them
The matched sheathing inside and the
boards or plank above hold the frame
firm. The ceiling will last longer and the
cellar be of more even temperature if
the spaces between the posts and the
toists are filled with sawdust.
Cold fresh air is supplied by a row of
tile inlets on the downhill side and the
warm air removed by row of ventilat-
ing flues on the opposite side. If the in
takes can be connected with a larger
one which extends several feet unde:
the soil for hundred feet or more,
good ventilation can be secured in the
coolest weather, as the soil will moder-
ate the temperature of the incoming
air.-Farm and Live Stock Journal.
