Dressy Effects.

In thin narrow fabrics the circular
top is preferred to skirt and the
rest is all ruffles. One circular ruff
fle may be used as a foundation, begin
below hips, and the trimming put on
this.
Princess gowns are appearing in
the thinnest of. fine muslins, and
handkerchief linen and linen batiste.
They are tucked to fit into the waist
line and are deliberately trimmed with
fine lace and slight designs of hand
embroidery.
Many women whose figures can
stand this severity are making up
such gowns decollete with sleeves end
ing well above elbow for summer
evening wear. They are put over
slips of colored batiste at fifty cents a
yard.
These slips are also princess, 1T

Ribbon Flowers.

The newest table decorations are
made of ribbon, which many clever
hostesses fashion for themselves.
Debutante luncheons afford excellent
opportunities for the display Of ribbon
flowers, the centerpiece and rose IA

louisine curled in such a manner that
it exactly duplicates a la France rose.
Artificial leaves are used and the rose
stems are wound with green velvet
ribbon. Bunches of violets are easily
conjured into shape with narrow vio-
let ribbon and when combined with
natural leaves the effect is exceeding
ly good. In making these blossoms
care must be taken that only soft rib
bon be used, as stiff satin would be
anything but pretty for such a pur-
pose.

Woman's Dress.

But, my dear, good Odo, woman's
husband is not the man wife dresses
for She makes herself as attractive
as she can for everybody worth know
ing. You must be an extraordinary
person if you suppose that | am going
in for the red and green transforma-
ton treatment for you-simply for
you. A woman who is really woman
and not a hockey player has to watch
the fashion as closely as cook
watches a pot; and the married
woman of the present day must do all
she can to look like the unmarried
woman of yesterday. 1t is the mar
ried women who are the most popular
with men, It is the married women
who control politics, the army, litera-
ture and the stage. Therefore can't
you see how necessary it is for them
to do all they can to remain attrac-
tive? Red hair and green eyes? Yes.

skirts remain almost the same. The

twoinch band of embroidery or heavy
lace. Stitched bands of the material
are not among the new fashions for

Barrels or Boxes.

In communication to the Farmers
Review. David Ruble says: why
don't the fruit dealers adopt the apple
box in place of the apple barrel?
The box is easier to handle, packs up
in less space, does not bruise the
fruit, sells better, and should not be
so expensive. The lumber here core
gon) costs but ten cents per box, and
the cost of making is two cents. For
holding bushel of apples we make a
box here of the following dimensions:
Is inches long, Is inches wide and
ten inches deep. We use boards cut
as follows: Two boards three-fourths
inch thick 13x10 inches; two boards
one-half inch thick 14x19h inches;
two boards fve-eights inch thick 10x
1912 inches"
We publish Mr.. Ruble's figures as
he gives them, but we do not quite
understand the force of the last three
sets of figures. The apple box is
coming into use more and more, but
it is evident that it will have to be
made very cheap to drive out the bar
rel According to the estimate Of
cost by Mr.. Ruble, three boxes would
cost sc cents, which is about what
barrels can be purchased for in some
parts Of the apple producing regions.
The box will have to be made much
cheaper than that unless barrels go
still higher. Barrels have some adj
vantages over boxes in the minds Of
the men that handle apples. They
claim that less handling is required
with barrels than with boxes, and
that the barrel can be rolled while the
box cannot. In loading and unload
ing barrels from trains and ships as
well wagons many establishments
have arrangements for rolling the bar
rels up or down inclines, which facili-
tate their handling. Mr.. Ruble says
that "the boxes pack closer" but this
is used as one objection to the box
by shippers of fruit, as they say there
is then no room for the circulation Of
air around the fruit packages.Sfar

Plant Breeding.

Plant breeding Is a modern ldea-
though IL has been practiced unset
entifically for thousands OF years INC
breeding of plants is not exactly par
allel with the breeding of animals ior
crossing is not a very large factor Ia
the work of the so-called plah'
breeder. Selection of the best piah'e
for parentage is the main factor ae
the present time as 1t ever mas peen'
Thus, the various kinds Oh celeiS
that we have on our markets cam9
from careful selection Of the pest III
older varieties, and very seldom
suited from crossing except as nature
made the crosses.
We are just at the beginning OF inc
science of plant breeding, and VIII III
timately use the principle or crossihs
plants to get new varieties. Some re-
markable things are sometimes done
by means of this crossing. We nave
seen yellow tomatoes growing pesiue
red tomatoes, and from the intermlX-
ing of the pollen, seed has been pro-
duced that the next year gave toma-
toes the form of the yellow ones but
with the rich color of the reds.
This is but an example that VIII
illustrate the great possibilities In
plant breeding. The slow progress
we are making is due to the fact that
we have left almost everything to ma
ture, and nature is not interested in
producing plants Of unusul service to
man. Nature is as much interested in
tomato as in a man, and her only
plan is to preserve it on the earth.
Within the next twenty years the
science of plant breeding will entire
ly revolutionize the conditions under
which our gardening is being carried
on. The vegetables that today are
standard will have dropped behind
and be little grown. Other varieties,
better for eating or with a better ap-
pearance, will have come to the front
and we cannot but see that this
change will go on indefinitely, as
there seems to be no end to the posi-
bilities in. the science of plant breed
ing.
