DURABLE WIRE FENCE.
Plan of Building That Has Been Tried
for Years and Always Given
Good Satisfaction.

Take line with rings on each end;
have line just so long that from center
to center of rings is one rod. Stake off;
this is all right for horse and cattle
fence, for sheep and hogs set the posts
half rod apart. By having the posts
rod or half rod apart it makes it nice
about calculating the amount of land
in field.
The end posts should be hedge or null
berry with roots or large knot or pieces
spiked on lower end of post so that
when set and the dirt well tamped in
four feet deep it will be perfectly solid.
Where the fence crosses a low place
posts should be used that have roots,

great dressmakers.
These extend to point below the
hip line, where the ample fulness be-

material to be fulled or plated into the

slightly at the waist line and still avoid

the skirt is to hang and fit we'll. There
must be no resemblance to the old-time
gored skirt. The folds must fall in
straight lines. changing gracefully with
every movement of the body, yet the
extreme fulness beginning high above
the knee. just below the hips in fact, must
swell to still greater dimensions at the
foot.
In some instances, particularly in the
case of the frilled or founced skirts,
this effect is achieved by circular
flounce of great depth setupon topalso
somewhat circular in cut, but less FLAIR
ing. The Jennings must be hidden under
shirring, putting, Iuching or some other
trimming, and this trimming must be
repeated above or below the line Of
union so that no suggestion of the added
f1ounce may be given.
Flounces are not Fashionable, butthey
must be frankly full flounces often cut
, altogether on the straight and many
with outstanding headings of corded
shirring, putting, ETC. The Circular
Iflounce as a scheme for attaining cor

sion of inability to obtain the result
in more skillful way, and SO is not to be

Where skirt yokes are used at all, they
are shallow and consist of lines of corded
shirring. shocking or gauging. Occa-
sionally one sees yoke effects in vertical
tucks or plaits, but this is, as a rule a
concession to some special heaviness OF
