1t is not true the woman growing old
must not wear black 1t is that she must
not wear all black. There are no pow
ders or cosmetics that have the power
20 help the skin like contrast. This Is
one word that the woman who begins
to fade wants to have written at the
top of her dress calendar.
1t is not necessary TO give up the all
black hat, but let her wear it with the
white or nearly white dress or suit
Again, let her wear the white lace hat
or the small dress hat with bright foil
age and flowers with her black gown.
To the sallow brunette the combina-
ton of navy blue cloth with cream trim
mings has been q rejuvenator always
and worth whole battalions of beautiti-
ers. To the same type the palest Of
pale grays with black hat and black
trimmings and white chffons is a safe
screen behind which to hide complexion
al defects. 1t is the same with brilliant
red worn in small quantities with
cream and mode colors, where all red

power like that Of the ventriloquist
which abstracts attention from all de-
fects in such combinations or perhaps
ii is the mixed light of the two colors
which, thrown together on the personal
color scheme, puts it OUT entirely.
1t is this principle which has made
for the universal becomingness and
long staying of the white blouse worn
under the dark winter coat suit. 1t is
one which can also be carried far bet
ter into evening gowns. Here, even
with the decolletage, all black is not
safe where there are health defects.
and consequently bad ones of color
also. To such a complexion the black
net gown made over white lace or
chiffon is a salvation, while all white

Chenille fringe is noted on many
white street gowns.
Smooth satin crowns as a feature
are marked on many of the spring hats.
Braces Of materials to match the
skirt are worn with the corslet skirt
over the lingerie blouse.
Leather certainly has become fad
in Paris this season. To one tailor suit
with braid or velvet there are hun
dred trimmed with leather.
There are many fashionable shades
at the moment, but none are in way
so pretty or SO popular as the different
tones of pink and old rose.
Some very smart women use velve-
teen for their vests. While the effect
is rich, 1t is not dainty, and is almost
too much of a good thing"
The girdle is part of every costume
and must be considered when one is
considering the rest. There are all
kinds of boas and all kinds of slippers.
For morning wear smart little toques
Of fine straw or erin are trimmed with
a single stiff wing in front or to one
side and a bunch of ribbon loops at the
back.
The palmer the short skirt, the
smarter it is thought to be. Rows of
machine stitching are always a good
finish in the plaids, checks or mixed
cheviots.
To those who can wear pink, brown
is sure to be becoming, and there are
no smarter costumes this season than
the rose pink gowns worn with brown
caracul jackets.
A soft gray walking hat is turned
up on the left with a huge gray bird,
whose bigness is almost grotesque.
Most of the hats seem to be quite over
come by their trimmings.
Vests of soft red damage dotted with
black or white are very popular for
coates that are worn half-open. The
vest is tight-ftting and often for con-
venience is made with sleeves.
Embroidered sleeves add one more
rich touch to some of the new blouses.
The design of the front is repeated, in
a smaller way, upon the back, and
broken up and scattered all over the
sleeves
There Ia little difference in tie
clothes ordered for matron or maid.
Light colors and the most elaborate of
materials and models are chosen for
women with gray hair quite as often
as by young girls.
The smaller the waist the more tight
fitting the effect OF coat or waist, the
smarter the costume is thought, and
the end and aim of every woman, be
she debutante or grandmother, is to
look youthful, especially as regards her

The passage of the bill to relieve labor
unions from all financial responsibility
from the acts of individual members dur.
ing strikes by a large majority in the
House of Commons was regarded as a
complete surrender of the Bannerman
government to the new laborite faction.
The Charity Organization Society has
established a special employment bureau
at its New York headquarters for the ben
eft of those persons who, by illness, acci-
dent. infrmity or previous bad record, are
unable to re-establish themselves, but who
are able and willing to do some honest
work.
The striking miners in the north of
France. numbering about 4 900, resumed
their aggressive attitude Monday. Several
houses we're destroyed by dynamite and
at two points barricades were erected
which were charged by the troops. The
companies have notified the strikers that
they will not have any more conferences.
Owing to the success of cooperative
coal mines in the Saginaw valley, Michi-
gan, under the direction of union men,
it is now proposed, says Public Opinion
that the business men of the same region
organize cooperative company to sup
ply cheap coal to manufacturers. The
Saginaw board of trade says that coal
can be supplied on this plan at about 81
a ton.
Florence Woolston tells in Charities
and the Commons of a fraternity of wage
earning girls which has recently been or
ganized as a part of the neighborhood life
about the Speyer school. of New York'S

any wage-earning girl over f. years old,
no matter what kind of work she does.
Unity and cooperation are the watch

The elections of workmen within ST.
Petersburg proper for the delegates to

factories. twenty-nine refused to take any
part whatsoever, and of the remainder
only minority voted. OF those delegates
elected, about one-half were constitutional
Democrats and the other half Conserva-

In the Meyerdale region of the Mary

NO MORE CROP FAILURES,
The Farmers Millennium at Hand,

The Farmers millennium at Hand,
According "a Wilson.
There will be no more crop failures.
This prediction is confidently made by
Secretary Wilson, who knows more
about agriculture than any other man
in public life. The Secretary is antici
pating only normal conditions, such
as the weather experienced year after
year, and does not say that some great
calamity in the form of floods or a
wide area of freezing weather in July
may not descend upon the earth out of
! some remote corner of the heavens.
Early and late frosts, drouth and
prolonged rainy seasons, torrid heat
and lack of sunshine grasshoppers.
rust and other pests and diseases are
considered by the Secretary as condi-
tons which the farmers must guard
against TO insure crops.
when l say there will be no more
crop failures. I do not mean that every
| seed each farmer plants Will thrive
and produce" explained the Secretary.
I'VE may" however. safely count upon
sufficient crops TO supply our own
needs and leave a surplus for export.
A food may visit some valley and acres
! of growing crops may he washed away.
| GraSshoppers may. and probably Will,
again appear in Kansas. Hot winds
| will blow. but we will not hear so much
of the grasshopperS and the hot winds
in the future.
THE grasshoppers Will find SO much
to eat that they will not be noticed.
and the hot winds will find so much
fresh and green to blow against that
they will be checked and cooled. Speak
ing seriously, however the farmers
nowadays go about their work with
cool deliberation and knowledge of
what they can accomplish. They select
the seeds of the crops they know will
produce the best results upon the soil
| to be cultivated.
Certain varieties of corn and wheat,
| for instance, require more heat and
moisture than others. Where the grow
ing seasons are usually dry and hot
| the farmer will not plant the corn
which the farmer where more moisture
! is to be expected would use. Farming
is fast being reduced to Il science. II 1t
may not be said that it has reached
that stage already. Scientific methods
now widely prevail. Deep blowing. soil
investigation, seed selection, improved
machinery. all combine to assure the
| farmers az harvest time of a fair re-
ward for their toll and outlay. They
have intrenched themselves to such an
extent that dispatches in the newspa-
pers of variations in normal climatic
conditions during crop seasons will not
cause the apprehension of crop failures
as in years gone by. There may and
probably will he poor crops in certain
counties, and l will not say that the
crops this year Will be as large as last
year, but I repeat we will not have
what can be called crop failures.
