The English call the princess sequin
gown mermaid" robe.
A certain shade Of steel blue Is used
great deal with smoky gray and
black.
A decorative tie Is of black tulle,
knotted~ about the base Of the collar
and fastening in front with a diamond
clasp, from which depend diamond
fringes.
Nowadays SO important part of the
wardrobe is the hat that the gown is
bought to match it, instead Of the hat
being bought to match the gown, as
formerly.
Butterflies play an important part in
winter fashions. They appear on hat
pins. hair ornaments, appliqued or en-
broidered on gowns and as bows for
the tailored blouse, and now in lace or
ribbon or beads they are found on even
ing slippers.
Unless it Is fur-lined, every even
ing wrap should have an interlining of
lambs wool as far down as the waist.
Broadcloth feels heavy, but silk lin
ings, even with a flannel interlining un-
derneath, do not make up In warmth
the absence of high-necked bodice of
an evening dress.
Linen embrolderies on cloth are be-
ing worn now and will be more so as
winter advances. Irish, Cluny and
heavy makes Of lace are to be used on
winter gowns, Cloth Is more to the
fore than 1t ever has been, but 1t must
be fine, soft, falling make of cloth.
Wolfe will be worn all winter, as will
all kinds Of cream woods. These are
being made suitable to all ages and
are popular equally with matrons and
young girls.
The belt on the fashionable reception
or evening gown has become a sash.
Broad sashes carefully fitted and
shaped to the waist in front are tied
in enormous butterfly bows, which ex-
tend up the back almost to the shout
ders. They float In long ends on the
skirt behind and are rounded lappet
fashion and edged with killed ribbon
or lace or knotted and finished Off with
tassels. Others have ends which hang
down on the skirt In front from under
the belt like stoles, three or four inches
apart. Others are knotted into huge
bows at one side Of the waist or looped
into different lengths at the Sides

Dried Beet and MOIRSseS PulD


Brief notes are given on the produc-
ton of two feeding stuffs and feeding
experiments with COWS are reported
by the Wisconsin station. The ration
used for comparison consisted of five
pounds Of hay, thirtyfive to forty
pounds Of silage, and about eight
pounds Of a grain mixture consisting
of wheat bran, distillers' grains, and
cottonseed meal in the proportion of
2: Il. Dried-beet pulp or moIasses-
beet pulp was substituted for the
wheat bran In the ratio of 80 by
weight. Two tests were made, the first
including fifteen COWS and the second
six.
When wheat bran was replaced by
dried-beet pulp in the proportion indi-
Gated there was no appreciable offer
ence In the effect of the two rations.
Molasses-beet pulp substituted in the
same manner produced, however, about
II per cent more milk and per cent
more butter fat. Beet pulp showed a
tendency to decrease the fat content
of the milk. The results, therefore,
indicate that when wheat bran Is val
ued at $1S ton, drled-beet pulp Is not
worth over $12 and molasses- beet pulp
over $13 ton.

err. A woman has the right to resist
with all her strength any attempt by
her husband to intimidate her."
Continuing the description of ideal.
wifehood, DR.. Morley said in part:
ITO be wife at all is great honor.
But to be an ideal wife is a position
and honor that angels might covet.
When we speak of a wife we assume
that she has those virtues and quail
ties essential to wifehood before she
can enter into the realm of the ideal.
That Is, she is woman before she is
wife. An ideal wife must be abso-
lutely truthful to her husband. Most
people will be untruthful by word or
act under some circumstances, but it
is objectionable for a wife to lie to her
husband.
Your husband courted you in your
best attire. He wooed and won you in
an atmosphere surcharged by the be-
wilderment Of roses, perfume and song.
amid the sweet intoxication Of wood
land rambles and moonlight poetry.
You come to his home and take the
myrtle from your hair, the rosebud
from your throat and exchange the
perfumed roses of love for faded or
even soiled calico. Can you expect any
thing else than a shock to the affec-
lions Of him who had hitherto looked
upon you only In the moveless trance
Of love?
1T is a wife's duty to look her best
at all times, and a sin for her to be
careless about her personal attire in
the presence Of her husband. An ideal
wife never criticises her husband and
is not scold. Solomon says, "A con-
tinual dropping on very rainy day
and a conscientious woman are alike
and in another place he says, 1T is bet
ter to dwell in a corner of a housetop
than in a wide house with a brawl-
ing woman and Solomon knew, be-
cause he had thousand wives, and
no doubt some of them were scolds.
THE ideal wife studies her husband
as she studies philosophy or mathemat-
les, scientifically. Her aim should be
to please him. She looks pretty for his
sake rather than to please other men,"

Why Young Trees Are Best.

AECCh are DeBts
These are the advantages of planting
young trees: They can be trained to
the desired form better than older
trees, says Farming. A 2 or 3-year-old
tree Is branched and has had its head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearltng tree of the apple. pear and
sweet cherry, Is usually unbranched.
sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
full enough about starting out the scat
fold limbs, and 1t Is difficult to cor
rect the form of the head after 1t has
been started. There Is an unmistak-
able preference for low-headed trees,
due chiefly to the need of economy and
efficiency In spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage of low-head-
Ing Is greater inconvenience In tillage.
This Is much more than Offset by the
advantages, in the judgment Of most
growers Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
In the East has been reduced at least
two feet. The bearing Of this on the
matter Of yearling trees Is that the
grower can head a yearling tree where
he pleases

American Standards Analysed.

Justice Brewer of the United States
Supreme Court, in an address on the
larger and higher life of the nation, at
New Rochelle, n. Y, paid us the usual
compliment of being a Hercules among
nations, saying facetiously that if we
didn't have Hercules club, we at least
possessed big stick at Washington. but
this was not enough. Those responsible
for the country's future must ask, What
are the ideals of the nation?" Are we
seeking only material development, or are
we striving for the higher life?" He re-
ferred to our pride in a big navy and the
ostentation of our cities over their build
ings. houses, art galleries and Libraries
bought by the cubic yard. He believed
the nation was running deeper into debt
each year. Quoting Washington's fare
well address, he said he was one who
didn't rejoice IN great national debt.
Nevertheless he thought that the growth
of intellectual spirit was leavening the
crudeness of the people.

A solid Floating Foundation.

A writer in the Technical World Mag
azine tells of a new engineering device,
invented by William e. Murray of Los
Angeles, Cal, by means of which 1t Is
possible to build in the open sea struc-
lures that usually require solid rock foun-
dations, such as breakwaters, lighthouses,
forts, bridges, etc. These will remain per-
fectly steady, no matter how turbulent
the surface of the sea may be. This re-
suit Is obtained by immersing the floating
structures deep down in the still waters
in such IA way that the surface vibration
cannot affect them. The simplest form Is
hollow upright cylinder of iron. with
broad projecting fange. This base will
act rs lever to counteract any tsrizon-
tai pressure at the top. In this way II Is
hoped that torpedo stations may be plac-
ed far out to sea, forming an impene-
trable barrier to an attacking fleet.
Again. 1t is proposed to thus erect float
ing wharves, which would rise and fall
with the tide.

floor slightly at the sides and have a
decided train. Among the ultra-smart
gowns the directoire style Is playing a
part with its scanty width and long
pointed train. The use of wide bands
of trimming at the bottoms Of elaborate
skirts has already been discussed here.
One result of these bands is naturally
the Weighing Of the skirts at the bot
tom and consequence Of more folds,
more clinglng than they would other,
wise be. Velvet and cloth are both
used for the bottoms Of gauze skirts,
but gauze is seldom, If ever. unless COW
cred with heavy embroidery, seen foot

COwpeas for Hogs.

Those living where they can success
fully grow the cowpea should utilize
this valuable crop as cheap ration
for pigs. The pea is rich in protein and
furnishes the needed growth, and does
away with the necessity of millstufr.
Drill three or four pecks of seed per
acre the latter part of May or the first
part of June, and give the needed Guilt
walton till the vines cover the ground
enough to check weed growth. Turn
the pigs into the field when the pods
begin to ripen, and they will do the
harvesting. If the old hogs are pas
tured on peas, they need corn or some
other carbonaceous feed to give proper
balance, for they cannot utilize so much
protein as pigs. Try a patch of cow
pea pasture this year, and get your
hogs In fine shape for the corn when
1t comes.

Dictates Of Fashion.

DhctuteH OI rahhhOhs
In spite of the superstition regarding
them, opals are much worn and ball
costumes are adorned with turquoises
and coral. Silver Is much used as a
setting for pearls. Another style of
headdress consists Of gold or silver
lace work set with pearls.
A new item of luxury are shoes
clasped with jewels or made Of lace
set with precious stones. Fans set
with jewels will complete the most lux
urious outfits. SO many jewels are
used that the exclusion Of the sparkling
stones is necessary to avoid taw-
dry, exaggerated effect.
Wells are more important than ever
In the calculation Of the fashionable
and the swathing, floating folds of chif-
fon, net, etc., are tremendously becom-
Ing II artistically adjusted.
Fur stoles are broader than ever,
and the cravat so much liked last year,
Is pronounced out of fashion.
The Partisan fad for shawl-like dra-
peries has brought out some exquisite
shawl scarfs in crepe, In soft silk and
in lace, the crepe and silk scarfs being
deliberately embroidered.
Soutache braiding Is used on nets
and chiffons as well as upon cloth and
velvet.
Tartan plaids are finding much fav-
or as trimming and appear in pipings,
girdles, belts, buckles, buttons, etc.
Silk crochet buttons are revived and
are to be had in all the fashionable col
orS.
Colored gloves have supplanted
white ones in Partisan favor and tan,
gray or black long gloves are the cor
rect thing for street wear.
Wells are fully two yards long. Most
are edged with a ruching of the same
material, and are draped in such man.
ner that the ruching appears to frame
che face.
A handsome full length empire coat
of caracul dyed brown does not look
at all too heavy and bulky. This short
haired, pliable fur Is disable In dress
where clumsier furs would be out Of
place.
One Of the newest things in waist
ings is wash flannel in challls weight.
This comes in delicate background en-
broidered to give pompadour effect.
1t washes beautifully and Is urged as
a rival Of the ever-popular white wash
blouse.
All-black hats draped in black os-
trich plumes are much liked. All-white
hats will never lose their popularity
with some women for special occa-
sions, and the combination of a black
hat, with white wings, fiaring high at
one side, will meet with the approval of
her who likes that touch Of black and
white.
