Finishing the Tailored
Suit

CTRAPS, folds and plain lines of
- stitching are the most usual
methods of finishing the palmer of
the tailored suits.
A great many buttons are also
used. They are usually arranged in
groups or at intervals singly
around the foot of the skirt at the
hem line.
They are cloth covered like the
gown they trim and are made on
button moulds.
They are set fat upon the skirt
and stitched down like discs.
Some of them are two and half
inches in diameter.
The fancy buttons are used only
on the jacket and vests

The Newest Skirts

THE newest skirts, while con-
4 forming to one or two single
principles, are endlessly varied.
The principal points are sheath
fit over the hips and a flare at the
foot.
The preference is given to plain
skirt trimmed with bands of its
own material.

Luther Burbank has attracted a vast
amount Of attention because he has at

Technical World Magazine. HE ls
breeding up plant, fruit and vegetable
life. He is the godfather of the sugar
prune, giant in comparison to its an
cestors, the French prune, of which
California produced 15O,0OO,OO0 pounds
Of the dried product in a year. The
sugar prune ripens earlier and Is Of
immense commercial value. Burbank
is also the maker of the seedless plum
which he accomplished by crossing two
varieties Of the Pruns trifora. The
white blackberry is another Of the wiz
ard Of horticultures triumphs. Sixty
five thousand bushes were used In tests
before he developed this phenomenon.
He has given to the ARID deserts new
species of grass which will grow on
the plains without water. He convert.
ed the cactus into an edible plant. The
wild potato of South America also re.
ceived his attention. From a single
eye Of this potato he developed one
hundred and twenty hybridizations
and grew large tuber Of good quail
ty. Mr.. Burbank has made endless
experiments with the potato. He keeps
in his farm at Santa Rosa, no less
than 10000 varieties for experimental
purposes. He has grown potatoes Of
every shape and color, round, long
short, square. pure white, pink, Grim
son, purple and yellow. Burbank po
tato seedlings have been shipped al
over the world. The late Cecil Rhodes
planted 10000 of his seedless plum
trees in South Africa, until now they
have multiplied into the millions"
