 The embroidery gown is certainly a fad of the season. It comes in robes with a wide fiounce Tn a flower pattern and enough bands to trim the little blouse. Then there are hand embroid- cred robes designed for three-quarter coats and plaited skirts. These robes are so ridiculously cheap and so easy to make that I certainly recommend them to the home dressmaker.
 This is the time of the year Tor horseback riding and there Is scarcely anything so healthful or one which af- lords equal opportunities for meeting delightful people. In the summer the expense is minimized by the linen rid ing habit, which costs about half as much as the woolen one. A straw sail- or, too is cheaper and more becoming than the stiff derby.
 When I have nothing better to do go down to the riding school and watch the beginners. It is just as good as A vaudeville It's strange. but. as rule, women learn easier than men. The later are apt to be self-conscious and stiff in the joints. There is one un- naturally solemn owl of man with little pointed beard and glasses which give him a goggle effect He always rides a fat, white cob, and his antics are wonderful (the mans, not the horses, alasD He bobs around ike a cork on a string. and when the horse trots after a wild interval of "bumpe- ty, pumping" he invariably lands on the animals neck with his arms clasping firmly around its throat.

 Horseback riding is becoming more and more popular in New York. For one thing, 1t is an excellent way or spending a hot summer day. One can ride out ever so far in the co%htry, and then there is always the Claremont, where you can get fine dinner. And it's quite a fad to come home by moon light, too.
 Far from destroying the popularity of the horse, the automobile has only made him cost less, which Is good thing for people of moderate means. The rich, of course, have both autos and horses. Lucky peoplei

Congressional Carpets.

Washington Letter in Baltimore Ameri-
 can.
 Every four years the Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senate must buy a new carpet for that chamber 1t takes 800 yards to cover the Senate floor. and there is a lively competition among carpet manufacturers to secure the contract Colonel Ransdell, the Ser geant-at-Arms, has just completed his selection of the new carpet. and for the last two weeks he has been nearly worried to death by carpet manufac- turers who have been showing him samples, designs and colors for the new floor covering. He finally selected a wilton of a subdued green color. and 1t will be made at a cost of $2,000. One stipulation of the contract Is that the design shall not be duplicated. 1t Is the custom of both branches of Con- gress to change the color of the carpet at each session of Congress. Green Is the color used for the long session. and red for the short. session. Therefore, the new Senate carpet will be laid this fall and will be ready for the opening of Congress in October. Both the House and Senate are obliged to have two carpets, one red and one green, the life of each being about four years. The green carpet of the Senate has lived It's lifetime. and hence the pur- chase of a new one.

 The Saltmarsh, which is named for the superintendent of the local railway division, carried out a cargo valued at s363,S2S, a part of which was nearly nine thousand bales of cotton and almost one hundred thousand sacks of cotton seed meal. This cargo in point of value Is the largest that has been cleared from this port in some months.

 The woman who dresses well has both a good dressmaker and good seamstress. The good dressmaker evolves all her smart gowns, and the seamstress makes her summer dresses, her fancy waists and her house gowns. The seamstress Is cheaper than the cheap dressmaker, and in this way the difference between the cheap dressma- ker's price and that of the good one IS made up.
 If women who have small dress ai- lowances would only realize that 1t Is the fit and not the trimming that counts! The tendency of the ordinary woman and the ordinary dressmaker Is simply to overload

There was vivid tableau representing the South ern cross. thirteen pretty girls each nersonating a State of the Confectionery.

they cannot afford to pay 800 for a
good bull calf or $25 for a boar pig.
Once in a while we hear prominent
farmers advocating pure-breds at mar
ket prices.
The different states are holding
dairy meetings all over the country
and it is a good thing, but what about
good beef and pork? They do not seem
to think these of any value. Do these
men like their steak off the big-bef1ied
slab-sided dairy COWS? We need the
dairy and we need it badly, but we
cannot all milk COWS or we could not
give our butter away. We have heard
dairymen say butter never will be
cheap again as we are making SUCH
good quality. What makes 1t so cheap
in the summer? Scarcity, we suppose.
Those who are raising beef should not
get discouraged; keep right at it, buy
ing good sires and dams regardless of
a little cost; feed them well and your
pocket book will compare with any
dairyman's.
