This Is Another Silk Season.

An Elaborate Gown.

A striking gown of Partisan design
ing is of heavy and rich white satin,
on which is applied irises and their
spiky leaves in their natural purple
and green and some others in black,
all cut out in perfect shape in colored
Lyons velvet and applied by embroid-
cry to the white satin, and then the
whole embroidered all over with but
terf1ies in sequins, some gold, some
motherof-pearl and some steel and
silver intermingled. These embroi der
ed decorations appear on both train
and under dress, but the corsage is
wholly covered with lace, held down
with the butterflies alone, the irises
not appearing there save in the form
of a cluster of the natural flowers set
against the left shoulder and bosom.

Paper Muslin Mats.

Mats for tables or chair backs for
the summer cottage are made of paper
muslin. The paper is cut into strips,
folded and woven, just as the kinder
garten paper mats are made, and the
effect is quite good, when garnet and
white strips are interviewer, or dark
blue and green, or white and navy
blue. Patterns are to be had, not
alone the simple checker board effect,
but more elaborate designs. A bag
to hold odds and ends, made in this
way and finished with silk top to
draw it up by, Is handy thing to
hang on the wall of a summer cot
tage.

Fruit for the FAMILY.

The farmer that considers first
the fruit for his family is
wise. There are multitudes IL
farmers that cannot .afford tn raiee
fruit to sell in the general market
that can yet afford to raise all tho
fruit they and their families can use
1t should seem unnecessary in this
great country to call the attention Of
any farmer to the fact that he is not
raising all the fruit he should, but we
know that thousands of farmers even
in Illinois do not raise enough fruit
for home use. An abundant supply of
fruit should be one of the things found
always on every farm in a location
where fruit will grow.

Latest Couture Is Pretty.

The couture of the moment is really
very becoming, for it tends to make
the head look smaller, and the at
tempt at neatness is highly commend
able. The hair is still waved, but not
fEizzed-a fact which the amateur will
do we'll to note. It is taken up rather
tightly above the ears, and is only
little full in front, with two side curls.
Tortoise shell pins Of every kind are
worn, and very beautiful are some of
the new dark and amber tortoise
slides and pins inlaid with gold.

AutumnaI Dress Materials,

No one need fear to invest in a
plaided or checked costume, even
though it be desired to continue it's
use next autumn, for manufacturers
are now weaving and getting ready to
weave plaids of all sorts for the COM
ing fall and winter. Shadow plaids,
checks, and also stripes are to be a
feature of the autumnal dress mate
rails. These made their first appear
ance in mohairs, and since then they
have been manufactured abroad in
melrose, in satin prunella, and other
goods.
Stripes are to be pushed this au-
tumn, and ought to find favor, with the
stout women, at least.

Barley Water.

To make this from ordinary barley
pour a quart of cold water on to a
handful of common barley, add the
thinly-pared rind of half lemon, and
simmer this all together steadily for
two hours or so (if you are in a hurry
little can be got in half an hour,
but this is not really so good as when
it is boiled the proper time), then
sweeten to taste and let it stand till
it is quite clear, when it is fit for use.

Farm Fences,

Farm fences are always mat
tiers of expense and no more
of them should be retained on the
farm than is necessary. In case of
permanent pasture, that only will
need to be fenced. The shape of the
pasture counts for good deal in the
use of fencing. The form of pasture
that will use least fencing to a GER
tain area is the square. Every devia-
ton, from this means an. increase IL.
