The vast wheat belt Of Russia has
given rise to startling speculation as
to the possibilities Of the country pro-
ducing the worlds supply Of wheat
and putting the American farmer
practically out of the business of
growing that cereal, and It is easy to
figure out that with her 49,O70,OO0
acres of wheat land. exclusive of
vast acreage in Asiatic Russia she
could and should produce nearly
billion and 4 half bushels of wheat
each year. knd then let the indus
trious statistician figure out that with
the present rate of increase of the
wheat acreage it will not be many
years before she will have doubled
the acreage devoted 10 this crop. and
Russia as competitor in the wheat
market Of the world looms up irrC.
sistable
Russia is increasing each year her
wheat area at the expense of t,2
rye, In the ten years from 1894 to
1904 it was increased 42.27 per cent,
~ 'AllN 600 I'Nt NNlll' Ibl lNt. MS
remarkable growth Of the wheat area
is partly explained by the growth of
the now Asatic wheat region. Yet
even in European Russia the same
process Of gradual oncroachment of
wheat upon the rye area is noticed.
But notwithstanding her immense
wheat acreage, which is nearly one
half of the total for all Europe. Rus

ity of the wheat fields of Russia as
great as that Of the rest OF Europe,
on the average the total production of
wheat in European Russia would
have been about Sj0,0O0,0OO bushels.

The DisoruntIed Novelist.

ut is whispered" said a magazine
editor, that Mark Twain will tell In
his autobiography story about a ia
nous novelist.
This novelist loves praise when he
is sure of its sincerity. Sincere praise
indeed, is dearer to him than untold
gold And sometimes, in the hope of
getting little of it, he hides his iden.
tity and talks to people in book stores
and libraries about his own works.
One day he went into Brentano's to
get some novels for summer reading.
The salesman, who didn't know him,
after bringing forth Howell's latest,
and Conrads, and Harrington and
George Moore's, threw down one of
the mans own books.
VIII you try this, sir?' he said.
The novelist, eager for praise.
threw up his hands before his own
book eXclaiming:
Dear me- l cant stand that
mans stuff
Can't you, sir?' said the salesman.
Well, to tell the truth, l can't ell.

trasts are available. If, on the other
hand, you prefer a rather larger shape,
there is that hat whose brim is com
promise between the French sailor
and the mushroom, and whose trim
ming consists of a veil of soft satin
striped chiffon in the fashionable
petunia shade, patterned with white
spots, the loops of velvet on the ban
deau repeating the shade of the chit
fon, and both together making most
effective contrast with the white felt
of the hat. In blue and white and
black and white the effect is equally
admirable.
In the same category Of smart sim
plicity comes that other hat of dark
but bright blue felt, whose softly UNI
dulating brim will make a very be
coming framework for the face, while
at the back it dips closely down over
the hair. Here veil of dark blue
chiffon is cleverly combined with 4

border brings together red and green,

The acreage OF Russia Is ten times

And then, too, 1t must be remem

small yield in proportion to the
acreage the more striking In fact,
the Russian yield Of wheat is found
TO be Invariably smaller than In any
country with the possible exception

own peculiar difficulties
It is evident, therefore, that any

English moorland and Scottish
glens are coming to hold more and
more attraction for Americans and it
is no uncommon sight as one traverses
the country to see the stars and stripes
floating side by side with the British
Jack over some sumptuous shooting
lodge which is peopled by Americans.
During the shooting season these
places are centers of social activities
in which the Americans shine as hosts
and prove that American hospitality
in the picturesque mansions holds a
peculiar charm. There is a growing
appreciation of the beauty of English
and Scottish country places, and while
the hunting season is at its height
these hunting lodges are the center
Of little world all their own.
Life in a Scottish country house is
different from that in an English
abode. Train journeys are long, High
land railways are slow, and although
motors have done much, yet the drive
from the station often means a matter
Of many miles. A shooting invitation

several weeks, and the familiar Mon

be said to be the finishing touch to
perfect toilette and one of the most
becoming accessories of dress, if prop
erly put on. The thick veil is suitable
for outdoor and morning wear, Some
women make the grcat mistake of
wearing a too thick veil with thin
dress and straw hat, or vice versa, a
fine tulle veil with heavy, dark cloth

In putting on the veil see that the
middle of your veil is in the middle
Of the front of your hat, then decide
how much fullness you want at top
and bottom, and draw it straighJy
and smoothly from the hat TO the
chin, and secure ii at the top: but do
not attempt to arrange it there as
yet. Now give all your attention to
the lower edge of the veil. and bring
it around TO the back, so that there
are no wrinkles or folds across the
veil anywhere. Gather the two ends
firmly and tie them, tucking them
away neatly. Let the CHIEF strain be

lodge for courtesy sake not far from
Inverary. Dinner in a Scotch house
is always brilliant affair, but the
craze for the real Scottish dances,
with the pipers playing, is more in
vogue this year than ever before At
Glenoich Mr.. Phipps has followed the
fashion of his native neighbors, and
reels and filings have afforded the
chief amusement for all his guests
every night after dinner. The old
pipers line up in the great hall, and
the men in kits lead out the daugh-
tiers of the host and the other Ameri-
can girls staying there. The Hon.
Mrs. Frederick Guest, the oldest of
the Phipps daughters, is the best
dancer of the lightsome reel, while
Mrs. Jay Phipps has mastered the in

been Miss Gladys Grace, the youngest
and only unmarried daughter of M. p.
Grace of Battle Abbey. She has mas
tered all the Highland jigs, reels, and
filings, and is much-sought-for part
ner in these graceful dances.
Mr. Phipps' house parties embrace
the highest Scotch nobility, and Miss
Grace has been the constant partner
of Lord Lovat, who is one of the best
sword dancers in all Scotland. He is
highly fastidious about his choice of
partners, and is at no pains to conceal
that he has strong preference fol

ace. The Duchess Of RoXburghe, who
was Miss May Goelet, has taken a
series of lessons from an old piper at
Dunbar, but has not yet mustered up
courage enough to attempt any Of the
reels or filings in the Glenoich ball
room. Lady Craven, daughter Of
Bradley Martin, dances the reels very
gracefully, and her little son, Lord
Ellington, promises to be one of the
most expert crossword dancers in In
verhrss-shire. Young Mrs. Bradley
Martin has had many lessons in the
eightsomes and Strathspey reels. but
she has not been able to attain the
proficiency Of either Miss Grace or
Mrs. Jay Phipps.

The possession of at least one hat
