Trees in 1897.

trees in the colonies was in Massachu-

Charles F. Millspaugh, In the Chau-

a close second, when in 1910, regula-

ting of some oak trees. In 1893 the
Massachusetts Agricultural Society
offered prizes to the person who
should cut the trees from the most
land in three years; however, SO
alarming decrease in forest area
was shown by reports received at the
time that the policy was speedily re-

LATTE said this with a dignifed
coldness, and as if wishing, by full
explanation, to dismiss the subject.
Laro did not answer, and LATTE
continued:

accident"

answer. We'll up sail at midnight,
when we can reckon upon slipping
away from under the nose of that in

has, no doubt, been wondering at my

channel that brings us to the Barra
de Hero, and anchored before it, all
the craft England can send would
have hard work to get at us. We will
take the niggers there for awhile, and
turn them out on the island, to work
our crops, until Claiborne takes an
other nap and forgets all about the

He had, while speaking, again pick

Laro was swearing at the enemy he

Simple Shirt Waist Styles.

Revolutions in shirt waist styles are
gradually being brought about, both
as to style and color. More severe
lines are demanded. There is very
little blousing in front and the gar
ment is made as tailory as possible.
Even absolutely plain shirt waists are
worn, radically different from last
years shirt waists, which required ev-
erything trimmed.
Embroidered shirt waists are still
very good; but the embroidery de-
signs reflect the spirit of the severe
styles, and are simpler-more dots
and eyelets joined in simple conven-
tional patterns replacing the involved
flower design.

To Serve Tomatoes.

Select as many round, smooth to-

a piece from the top of each for a

hold an egg. Put in first small piece

drop in the egg, being careful not
to break the yolk. Put more butter
on top of the egg and adjust the COW

Grated cheese or bread crumbs may
be sprinlzled over the egg before the
cover is laid on.

middle classes appear to have con-

themselves with photographers. The
wealthy, on the other hand, appear to
consider picture-buying merely in the
light of an investment, and all they

Gardenias, which last year were
seen exclusively in the buttonholes of
men, are this season the flower spe-

gardenias is the number chosen for
wearing. Sometimes they are seen
snuggled in the side of the couture,
when their waxy whiteness appears
most charming, or they are worn in
the front Of the corsage or carried in
the hand. In these latter instances
their stems should be left long, and
as many of their brilliant, glossy
leaves allowed to show as possible.
