There is strong tendency among
young unmarried women, even de-
butantes,. to wear satins, not merely
the supple liberty variety, but the
rich, heavy qualities, and many are
wearing them. These must, however,
draw the line at brocade. The Older
unmarried women, around 80, if state
ly, may appear in tho rich fabric and
be appropriately clothed. 1t should,
however, always be borne in mind
that brocade is not suitable for short,
too-plump figures. It looks best on the
Juno type, but the slight woman can
wear it we'll if she Is tall.
The girlish matron has a more ft-
ting frame in crepe de chimes and all
the delicate, clinging fabrics, than
brocades and velvets.
One thing is certain, no woman can
be dressed to show off her own partic-
ular style, or charms Of face and fig
ure and expression, without studying
them carefully and weighing carefully
the comments-including both compli-
ments and criticisms, especially the
latter-of her friends, and also more
particularly of those who are not
friends. Unless, indeed, she have a
modiste who understands her style
thoroughly and who decides for her
just what she shall wear and when she
shall wear it.
The Gibson coat continues much in
favor and is decidedly smart looking
when made in good quality serge or
black, navy or cream colorings. It is
lined to the waist with silk and fin
ished of with touches of trimming in
the way of collar, cuffs and buttons,
which show such clever and artistic
schemes of color and contrasted fab.

On dark blue serge coat there is
collar of pastel mauve cloth, bor-
dered with silken braids in soft blue,
green and mauve shadings, while the
color contrast is introduced again on
the cuffs, and into the center of the
waistband at the back. Then a white
serge coat combines in it's collar and
cuffs, mauve cloth, palest green silk.
green and white braid, and most
telling touch of black satin, while the
big buttons at either side in front are
in white serge. centered with green
silk. And there are dozens of differ
ent combinations.
Much of the spring millinery retains
the imprint of the Empire period. The
mushroom shape will be strongly
prevalent. Paris is still using the EN-
pire hat, and almost every conceivable
form of the mushroom, which is q
modern adaptation of the Empire, will
be seen during the-spring.
Among the novelties in millinery will
be hats made entirely of flowers.
Petal hats will be the newest form.
Models in all of the newest shapes
will be seen made of rose petals in
white, pink, pale blue, cream color and
yellow.

TOMATOES As A FIELD CROP
The Kind of Soil That Is Best and
Its Preparation.

This crop is more profitably grown
on good clay subsoil or low lands bor-
dering on our bays and rivers. The
seed should be selected by every
grower. Sow the first seed about the
middle of April, in well prepared soil,
where the tomato plant has not been
grown for five years at least Spray
plants in the bed three times with
Bordeaux mixture. This will help the
first blossoms to resist the blight;
if they do not drop, you are pretty
sure of a crop.
A sod field of scarlet or crimson
clover covered in the winter with 10
loads of manure per acre, plowed un-
der in April and kept we'll narrowed,
should be used. Mark out rows four
feet with plow, sow down these rows
600 pounds per acre of phosphate com
posed of four per cent ammonia, nine
per cent phosphoric acid, ten per
cent potash. Then cover and mark
rows crosswise with light marker four
feet; give shallow cultivation and
plenty of it when the vines are not
wet with dew or rain, up to the time
they begin to ripen.
Early tomatoes require hotbeds and
cold frames to grow the plants to a
strong, stocky condition, with bios.
SONS set before transplanting to field.
Light, high, warm soil, with not so
much vegetable matter, is the best.
Mark rows three feet each way and
drop half small shovelful of well
composted manure in hill. Set your
plants with as much dirt as will hold
to them in this manure and cult
vate we'll. A little nitrate of soda
around the plants after they start to
grow is helpful. Pull off the poor.
knotty or specked tomatoes as they
ripen.
Never wait for a season of rain,
says Farm and Home, but set your
plants when ground it dry, sun is hot
and nights warm. BY pouring little
water around each plant, small,
fibrous roots will start from the plant
the first night they are set, when
ground is warm

UTILIZING CORN FODDER.
The Best Way Is to Cut 1t Up Into
Short Lengths.

1t is desirable to utilize all the
food value there is in the corn fodder
though the usual way of feeding it to
the stock is very wasteful method.
Where the daily supply of fodder is
thrown in the barn yard at feeding
time, what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed so far
as the feeding value is concerned.
The leaves and the stock are all stock
will eat. From one-third to one-half
the length of the fodder is readily
eaten in racks without cutting. When
the stalks are heavy, coarse and hard,
the upper half may be cut for feed
with a sharp broad axe and heavy
block if but a few cattle are fed. Fol

CHAPTER lA,-SONTlNUED.
Oldaker, wincing and turning to Miss
Bines for sympathy, heard her say:
Yes, do, Mr.. Higbee! l do love
those ragtime songs-and then have
them play Tell Me, Pretty Maiden,
and the Intermezzo.'
He groaned in anguish.
The talk ran mostly on practical az
fairs: the current values of the great
staple commodities; why the corn crop
had been light: what wheat promised
to bring; how young Burman, of the
Chicago board of trade, had been
pinched in his own wheat corner for
four millions-'put up" by his admir-
ing father; what beef on the hoof
commanded; how the Federal Oil COM
pany would presently own the state of
Texas
Almost every Barbarian at the table
had made his own fortune. Hardly
one but could recall early days when
he toiled on farm or in shop or forest,
herded cattle, prospected, sought adj
venture in remote and hazardous wilds.
"'Tain't much like them old days,
Ell. Higbee?" Queried the crown prince
of Cripple Creek-"when you and me
had to walk from Chicago to Green
Bay. Wisconsin, because we didn't
have enough shillings for stage fare?"
He gazed about him SUCCESSFULLY.
Corn beef and cabbage was pretty
good then, eh?" and with sure, vigor-
Gus strokes he fell to demolishing his
