CenterpieceS in Color

H VEN centrepieces show the color in E fuence. and we have gone back to
 the solid embroidery on white linen, where the whole effect depends on the workers artistic sense ana knowledge of shading. These new floral designs are bolder than formerly; ana we see hydrangeas, poppies, hibiscus. azaleas, or roses instead of dainty Dresden flowers.
 By fall there promises to be many new ideas in colored embroidery de- veloped in wool and floselles. The work is German in character, the de- signs modified Art Nouveau and the coloring extremely rich in mahogany' old blue, green. red and yellow tones' brought out by black outline.
 The stitches of this coming work, though intricate in appearance, are really adaptations of well-known forms-as, for instance. couched pineapple stitch CT a much -slanted satin stitch, barred in different color or the satin stitch done in three or four shades which gives woven ef- feet, or even the old-fashioned prlar stitch with the centre caught in con- trasting color

For Baby's S Coach in
 Summer

n ABY in his coach always looks H charming, but never more so than in summer under his dainty coverings of pique or by soft lace-hung parasols.
 Needless to say, these white cover fngs must be always kept immaculate, and, therefore, in the selection of will launder easily.
 There is nothing more really satis- factory than pique for summer coach covers. These may be absolutely plain, scallop, or they may have a rather elaborate pattern in eyelet embroid- cry and satin stitch. As rule, separate piece is added to the top, put on in a French seam, to look as if 1t had merely been turned down.
 Frequently master baby sports his monogram or initials, embroidered in three or four inch letters in the cen- tre of this turned-over flap.
 Some of the newer and more elab- crate pique covers have the turned back section shaped and edged with a ruffie of the embroidery; while, in the body of the cover insertion, is set in a simple design, reaching half way to the bottom hem.
 Very dainty and fiuf1y are coverings of white Persian lawn, with lace-edged ruffles and tiny tucks and insertion. The insertion also outlines the under part of the cover. This is fastened to a lining of pink or blue silk or satin. while the pillow Is trimmed to match. Sometimes the ruffie Is put on with a beading, through which narrow ribbon, a slightly deeper shade than the lin- ing, is run.
 For days when there is a touch of chill in the air little white cashmere blanket, bound in soft wash ribbon, Is found very convenient either to use alone or to slip under lingerie cover.
 Though English coaches. with leather tops, and easily run push carts have rather forced in the background the fluffy parasol. baby Is never more fas- cinating than when peeping from be- meath one. The tops of these parasols must by all means be quickly remov- able, since soot and filth improveth not their looks. No more satisfactory style can be found than a top of dotted point d'esprit. finished with a deep hem with three or four inch tucks above it.. This is adjusted by a draw string, con- cealed under a ribbon bow, to the white or colored silk parasol beneath.
 Dainty straps come for the summer coach-some in colored satin, hand painted; others in white leather. with a pattern embossed in gilt; still others, more serviceable than these, of heavy canvas piped in colored leather and em- broidered in sample cross-stitch pat tern.
 As baby is sure to be thirsty on his summer walks. one of the new little drinking cups, which come in tiny pink or blue boxes of hand painted celluloid proves a useful as well as a dainty ad- 1unct to his coach.

The West Wind and
 the Sea

OVER the waves. Sweet sounds come to me;
 Iris the song of the mermaids, Under the sea; And the chorus is sung, So high and free. By the wild west wind, And the dashing sea. In caves of pearl,
 At Neptune's feet; The mermaids chant their Couplets sweet; With ever the chorus, high and free. Of the wild west wind And the dashing sea. Treasures of shells,
 And jewels, untold Are brought to the caves, By fishes of gold; And tales of these
 Are told to me By the wild west wind And the 6ashing sea. Sing on! Oh mermaids, Your plaintive strain, With dreams of splendor Fill my brain; But for ire and strength! Oh give to me, The song of the west Wlno And of the seal

Midsummer Mourning

NEAD WHITE, without the least
 scrap of black about it, Is fast
 taking precedence over anything and everything else in the shape Of mourning for midsummer weather.
 But the plainness of white must be emphasized-it' not the airy, beautitul, fluff characteristic of the summer girl armed for her campaign. Trimming must be kept subdued, and jewelry, except for the useful bits tand even this as plain as the proverbial pipestem), Is tabooed.

with them the prettiest pleated bolero the hardest thing to make, but an odd, interesting little style when just the right woman wears it. But the wrong one in it-!
 More boleros even than any other sort of coat are made with elbow sleeves, some of the most attractive made with sleeves that are almost apologies for sleeves-loose and flow ing and apparently with more of the lines of little capes than of sleeves. Upon the embroidered boleros the sleeves are embroidered as we'll as the front and back, with perhaps the ever-useful scallop dragged in by way of a finish.
 Those little postilion backs are high in favor in bolero fashlons-some of the linen ones having the tabs which fall below the waist made of lace.

 Lay hems along the front and bot tom, an inch to two inches wide, and enough threads in a stitch to make the drawn part quite open.

PARIS, '06.
 @oLLOwING the vogue of small H sleeves. which have come in A through Empire influences.
 blouse sleeves are diminishing daily in size and increasing proportion ally fin econony-it is always easy to remodel when fashion allows things to become smaller.
 The new styles are fatal to thin arms. for the pretty puffed top has its transparency accentuated by designs executed in fi1my lace, and. st present, everything is elbow length, although we are promised long sleeves again at no very far distant date. How ever, 1t Is better to display a little independence rather than an ugly forearm, and to wear a long cuf att tached to a puffed top that is sorne- what larger than the extreme of fash. ion demands. A combination of long cun with the narrow pun (which Is perfectly good for an elbow sieeveI tiiakes up badly proportioned sleeve.
 To all unlined sleeves the little stay- ing tape Is not only boon. but necessity. It Is usually arranged as shown in the sleeve which ends in a long cuff made up of rows of bias bands and fagoting. This design Is . very practical one, as the cuff may be heightened or shortened without spelling it. while it's graceful sim- plicity makes 1t appropriate for any of the simple sorts of blouses.
 For an elaborate blouse. nothing could be prettier than a sleeve like the one pictured. in which insertion is made to wind about isolated motifs of hand embroidery. The fluffy elbow trimming is formed entirely of in- sertion. instead of the usual lace edge By adjusting tapes as indicated---Iet- ting them come from the top of the arm all the way to the end of the narrow pun, the sleeve may be worn above or below the elbow. as fancy dictates.
 4 good arrangement of Irish cro- clfet, or of any other heavy lace, Is also shown. Here a broad insertion holds the puffs on top, while stay ing tape is invisibly tackled to the in- side. This sleeve was designed for a blouse made entirely of alternating strips of lace and puffs of soft liberty satin. E. D.

broidered kind at which the masculine
mind SCOTS, but one of leather. Mis-
sion furniture and other heavy types
abound in college rooms, and even for
team" backs they may be safely sof-
tened. These cushions should be made
of ooze or other soft feathers. They
are cut almost square and are the size
of the chair seat and back. They are
stuffed with hair or down to the thick
ness of not more than two inches
Leather tabs should be put at the cor
ners by which to fasten the cushions.
Then there is always a desk to be
furnished. If girl has sufficient senti-
ment to wish to make something she
can keep her gift quite on the mascu-
line order. Letter racks of wood may
be bought and covered with fine French
tapestry pasted on and finished with a
narrow gilt braid. A portfolio cover Of
soft leather is also serviceable, and a
clock case is not as expensive as it
sounds A clock that will keep good
time may be bought for So, and the
case may be made of light wood just
large enough to admit the face through
the front, which should have a hinged
door, The case is then covered either
with leather or tapestry, handle of
the material being placed across the

Mucn Water and small Yield.

It frequently happens that fields
which have received large quantities Of
irrigation water produce low yields.
This result may be due to one or more
causes. Chief in Importance is the
proper cultivation of the soil. It may
be regarded as one of the fundamental
truths in agriculture that irrigation
cannot take the place of cultivation.
The western irrigator has been slow to
recognize this fact and is still inclined
to depend too much on irrigation end
too little Oh cultivation.

Failure of Alfalfa.

The failure of alfalfa west Of the
Cascade mountains is frequently due
to the lack of nodule forming bacteria
in the soil. If the land to be sown has
never grown alfalfa before it is the
safest plan to artifcially introduce
these organisms. This may be done
either by soil inoculatton or the use Of
bacterial cultures.

that the hay crop natures at time

The other is involved in the fact that
perhaps the most satisfactory or at
