Gray is as much worn for evening az for

vellous triumph Of the ressmaksr's art and
testified clearly to the genius Of Beer; a
model rich in wonderful hand embroideries,
but all in soft grays, a model Of exquisite
lines, OF delicious detail; a model all cloudy

the reds which are SO numerous and so fash

There was. for ipstance. a red broad
cloth among a group Of imported shades,
a light red suggesting very deep coral,
tlough darker than any coral shade. No

woman who has a figure equal to its de-

Portable warmth is avoided by the use Of
lace or chiffon or net for the greater pst

remarkably lovely model shown by several
importers and reproduced among the cuts
has an entire foundation OF oyster whte

heavy silk embroidery floss wide bands N

These bands run the entire length OF the
plain skirt, giving q striped effect and end

bodice only in such details as girdle, and
little folds trimming the guimpe and sleeves
Of cream lace or net.
A dull silver lace il used with excellent
effect upon some OF the French frocks in
dull blue, gray and other soft medium COL
ors. The favorite way of introducing It is
to inset squares or medallions OF the lace
and frame them in hand embroidery. This,
OF course, means an elaborate and costly
ffook, but exquisite results are obtained.
A souris gray crepe from a noted Paris
house had . full skirt hanging In long
straight folds, and embroidered deeply at
the bottom in many shades OF dull silvery
blue. At wide intervals large squares Of
old silver lace which seemed almost as
gray as the crepe were set into the embroid-
cry design, and smaller motifs Of the lace
were introduced among the embroidery Of
the bodice.
A foundation Of cloth OF silver lie used for
some sheer evening gowns in white or gray,
and clusters Of roses made Of silver tissue
are often tucked among the soft bodice
folds Of a frock which has no other silver in
its trimming scheme. A more elaborate
use Of silver tissue or cloth Of silver was
illustrated in an especially lovely evening
gown Of white chiffon cloth.
The long wasted under robe had a girdle
OF cloth Of silver with white velvet ribbon
draped around the girdle top. On the bot

biscuit shades and lavenders are all adj
mirahle for such frocks, and often the
gayety and dressiness OF the model 10 in
creased without loss OF serviceable qualities
by making up tho sheer material over q
white lining.
Some OF the red and rose n in par
ticular are much improved by such treat
ment. The Rose du Barry silk voile
pictured among the sketches had q foun-
dation OF white messaline which glim-
mered through the sheer wolfe. while the
silk which trimmed the wolfe and exactly
matched IL in color seemed deeper In tone
because Of It's opaqueness.
Lace dyed to match frock material has

.autocrats, and where lace is used at all
upon the skirt OF any frock not white or
Of very delicate tint it is usually colored
TO match the gown. Heavy dyed lace
often trims a skirt OF sheer silk or crepe,
and forms an entire shield or Overwaist.

The first of series of debates be-

societies took place in the chapel Sat-

gress. The Miltonian team consisted
of Messrs. Sperb and Parry and Miss
Peirce, while the Athenians were re-
presented by Messrs. Dillman, Nelson
and Fickle. Both teams did exceed
ingly we'll and showed that they had
put forth every effort to win. The
Athenians won the trophy last year
and consequently felt quite confident
OF winning again. After the debate
both societies went to their respective
halls where a reception was given in
honor OF their representatives.

Two Weeks Course of Lectures at
Agricultural College

We cannot urge too strongly upon
the farmers of the state the impor-
tance of the corn and poultry school
that will open at the Agricultural
college in this city January 2nd and
continue for two weeks. Men who
have spent years in study and expert
ments have been secured as instructors.
The corn school will be in charge OF
Prof. Nj. L., Wilson of Iowa. Mr..
Wilson is one of Prof. Holden's assis-
tants and is amply fitted for his work.
The poultry school will be in charge
of Arthur A. Brigham OF Maryland.
He was director of the Rhode Island
experiment station and while serving
in that capacity conducted the first
poultry school. He will deliver ten
lectures and were it possible every
farmer and farmers wife in the state
should hear these lectures.
Reduced rates have been secured on
all railroads on the certificate plan. 1t
is hoped that there will be large
attendance.

RICH VEIN TIN ORE DEPOSIT
Recent Discovery of a Large Vein
In The Black Hills

Late dispatches state that rich
vein OF tin ore has been discovered in
the southern Black Hills at depth of
25O feet. The body is four feet wide,
and has been stripped for distance
OF forty feet.
Tests show that it carries about one
and quarter per cent tin, and also
from SLIGO to $3.50 in gold. The COM
pany plans that the gold will pay the
cost OF treating the ore and that the
tin will be clear profit. A small test
run has been made and q larger one
will be put through this week. The
company has a ten stamp mill we'll
equipped, and a cyanide annex. 1t
has a large acreage OF ground and a
large body OF rich ore in the old shaft.

Good Roads Made Cheaply

We are in receipt OF bulletin issued
by the Missouri State Board OF Agri-
culture that seems to us to be the best
little booklet we have ever seen. 1t
contains much valuable information
relating to road building and how to
keep roads in good repair at very little
expense. 1t also sets forth the valuable
features OF the King Drag and what
it has done in the gumbO regions OF
Missouri. 1t is our intention to have
series OF articles in the Minnesota
and Dakota Farmer" among which
will appear much Of the matter con-
tanned in the bulletin above mentioned.
We are pleased to know that so many
of our subscribers have already taken
advantage Of the splendid offer we are
making to those who are taking the
Register and the Individual, and we
wish that everyone OF our patrons
would either call in or drop us postal
requesting that they receive the Farmer.
Don't delay this as you may receive
something that will prove OF incalcul.
able value to you. Remember that
we have secured the services of one OF
the best farm editors in the Northwest
to aid US and the contributors will be
OF the best in their line. In fact we
have been very fortunate in securing
the cooperation OF such energetic men
and we believe that the publication
will find favor throughout the north
west where it will circulate. We ex-
pect to begin the publication OF the
"Minnesota and Dakota Farmer" in
January.
