SOME NEW PARISLAN LINGERIE.
Colors in Blouses Very Fashionable
Especially the Delicate Tints.
BERTHA BROWNING.

In the new Paris lingerie, the
fashion is to have sets of chemise,
drawers and short petticoat of the
same material and type, and all
trimmed in the same manner. Main
sook and very fine batiste are the ma
terials usually employed for their con-
struction, the mode of silk underwear
being for the time abandoned. There
are two new fabrics called silk main
sock and silk chiffon, both cotton, but
of very fine weave, and which do not
lose their glossy appearance in wash
ing. These materials have much the
appearance of silk and in garments
made of them lace is profusely used.
The lace composes much of the upper
portion of the chemise and the sleeves
which are of bell shape reaching al.
most to the elbow. These are open

). HineIesso Potato HeId Eraad.

A special to the Record Herald says
that a fraud order has been issued
against the Vineless Potato Company,
OF Pullman, Ill. The company adver-
tised to sell territory or individual
rights for vineless potato, which
would grow in bins above ground in
sixty days. After Investigations by
the departments of Agriculture, JUS
tice and Postoffice, the fraud order
was issued and w. ID. Darst, discov-
erer of the wonderful process, will be
excluded from the use of the mails.
He proposed in reply to inquiries pro-
voked by his advertisement to license
for $25 any individual to grow vine
less potatoes, and said that for 500
he would sell unlimited territory. He
also offered ''potatine" at $3.50 a pack
age. Because his ''potatine" was
merely sulphate of potash, worth 20
cents, and his vineless potatoes worth
less commercially, the order was
issued.

a succession of ribbon bows. In lin

this is always finished with band of
lace or embroidery.
The empire form is, of course, very
fashionable for chemises, but, while
it is a pretty cut, it needs to be made
of very fine material else its straight
form will lie in folds beneath the cor
set. Most chemises nowadays are
shaped in under the arms so as to do
away with this extra width at the
waist-line. A pretty finishing to take
the place of sleeves and shoulder parts
on a garment to be worn with decol-
lette dress, consists of ribbons which
tie on the shoulders and may be un.
tied and slipped beneath the bodice
when worn with the evening gown.
The Japanese nightgown of quite
loose cut is a decided novelty. This
has rows of little tucks descending
from the shoulder and extending half
way down the figure. A double band
of insertion starts at the foot of the
gown, passes by the side of the tucks
over the right shoulder and around
the neck at the back, meeting in the
centre of the front at the waistline.
The sleeves are loose and flowing as
BELTS a garment of this nature. Few
nightdresses have collars, most OF
them being finished with straight
bands of embroidery or lace.

SUGAR BEETS AND MOLASSES.
An acre of sugar beets will produce
224 gallons of alcohol. Our vast irri-
cation projects in the West are water
ing lands which will soon produce
sugar beets more profitably, perhaps,
than any other crops and the molasses
from these crops can readily be turned
into alcohol. A waste product of the
ta e sugar mill, known as base mo-
lasses," would be another available
source of our commercial alcohol sup
ply. Millions of gallons of this pro-
duced in all the Central and South
American countries and the West In
dies are now largely burned, fed TO
animals or destroyed, although a por-
ton is dumped on our shores at almost
any price above freight. At New Or
leans, Boston and Brooklyn it is be-
ing worked up into inferior liquors.
The alcohol made from it has a dis
agreeable odor and taste. But if re-
pulsive matter must be added to Il

under the new bill, it will serve as
factured for power, heat and light.
Already in Cuba such alcohol from
this base mOlasses is being made at
10 cents per gallon. The base mo-
lasses itself can be had at New York
at cents a gallon. A similar grade
Of base molasses is turned out as
