lace or silk.
For the fluffy neck ruches plain
tulle and the ring-dot net are favorite
materials, and, although fancy prices
are asked for these ruches in the fash
ionable millinery shops and large
stores. they can be made at home at
fraction of the expense. Such q ruche
is sketched in the drawing. the model
pictured showing a deep plated run
of brown tulle mounted on stiffened
silk band, and finished by silk loops
and bows in front
Another very pretty model was
made of black ring-dot net. four deep
plisse frills being used, with another
OF tulle next the face. A cluster of
black silk peoples with yellow centers
was tucked among the tulle in the
front, which was finished with many
ribbon loops and ends of black velvet
and net
Another very odd ruiz was also
made of ring-dot net. each rune being
bordered with satin ribbon. On the
ribbon at intervals we're set little sat
Uncovered buttons. encircled by frilis
Of the narrowest valenciennes edging.
Little capes of broadcloth. usually
with touch OF black somewhere
about them, are made up ON the Car
rick" lines. and are very smart and
becoming for driving or for use in
the country and at the seaside. One
very pretty model made In the Carrick
style was Of bright cherry broadcloth,
each of three circular capes being I'm
ished by stitched band Of the same.
The trimming consisted of small
rounded collar Of black, showing
scanty touches of gold braid. the low
er points of the wrap also showing
rounded tabs of black velvet.

FOULARD RLPPLES INTO FAVOR

The polka dots of last spring and
summer have given way to stripea of
all widths and colors. There is the
wide one-inch stripe and the narrow
est threadlike band of colors, and
some Of the foulards have strips of
graduated widths arranged In clusters
or verging gradually from wide to mar
row.
Good effects can be obtained In the
wide tucks by placing the solid colors
together wherever the material needs
to be gathered in. as about the waist
and hips. Sometimes the stripes are
in two or more tones of the same
shade and again the white stripe
against any color design is seen.

The rules for measuring hay vary
in different localities. q cube of seven

considered ton at other places. We
would like to sell hay by the seven
foot plan and buy 1t by the eight foot
plan. A cube Of hay eight foot each

which with the average run Of hay
win come very close to ton. 1t takes
q very excellent quality Of hay for .

The rule for estimating the num-
her Of tons in an ordinary stack 10 to
multiply the length in feet BY the

level. This height is sometimes con.
sidered one-half the height Of the
stack. The result divided by 500 will

stack.
To estimate the contents Of round
stack, says the Farmer, we multiply
the square Of the distance around the
stack in yards by four times the
height in yards and point OF two
places from the right and this will be
the number of cubic yards In the
stack, which divided by 20 win equal
the number of tons. For In

high, to find the number Of tons first
square the distance around the bulge
20 yards which would be 400. multiply
ing this by four times the height eight
yards, we would have 1880. pointing
on two places from the right making
