businesslike method of taking stock. Count
the value of everything on the farm and after

Many farmers imagine that they have made no
money during the year because the bank bal

their possessions that could be converted into
money and should be reckoned. On the con-
trary, things will get run down and there is
no more forcible way that this can be brought
home than to fix q money value on the same
and compare it with the previous entries.

A curious custom has just been celebrated at
Kiln, near Moscow. All the manageable girls
in the town lined up in the principal street,
decked out in their simple finery, many of them
also having with them the stock Of linen, house
hold and personal, which forms part of their
dowry. The young men contemplating matri-
mony then walked down the serried ranks OF
beauty as they moved toward the church and
selected the girls of their choice. A formal
visit to the parents to arrange details was then
made in each case and date fixed for the cere-
mony.

suRPLIcE WAISTS roruLAR.

While the surplice style of waist is
not actually new or novel. it is so uni
versaliy becoming TO all sorts and ev-
cry type of figure that it will without
doubt remain as one of the most staple
styles in fashions category. The petite
woman finds q flattering lengthening
of her lines in the long fold that runs
broken from shoulder TO waist. Her
broader and stouter sister iinds-para-
doXically enough-that this same line
really takes away from her too gen.
erous girth aud ebulliency of form.
The fact that this style, too. makes
for opportunity for change in the mat
ter of chcmisettes is another strong
recommendation, and there is simply
no end TO the clever conceits that are
afforded in this connectlon.-Was
