The Baby's Age Varied.

An Atchison woman with little
baby tells the following story. She
says that a woman caller said: what
a dear little baby; how old is it,"
Sixteen months" replied the Atchi-
son woman. "Well, dear me, it looks
older" said the caller, and then went
on and talked and talked, and finally
turned again to the baby and said:

Mrs. Montague,s Discovery. /.

Thirty years have passed since the
death of the woman who is supposed
to have founded the collar industry
in Troy, N. Y. AS 10000 persons
are engaged in making collars and
cuffs there, and as the city produces
nearly nine-tenths of the collars and
cuffs made in this country, it is evil
dent that the distinction of starting
the business is considerable. 1t seems
that Orlando Montague, Troy shoe
manufacturer, was scrupulously neat,
and that his wife found the labor of
washing his shirts burdensome. The
shirts of the time had the collars and
cuffs attached, as have many fine
shirts to-day. To avoid washing the
whole shirt when only the collar was
soiled, Mrs. Montague made detach-
able linen bands tied round the neck
with tapes. Under this arrangement
her husband could put on c-ean
collar every morning and every even
isS without compelling her to spend
too much time over the washtub.
Her neighbors followed her example,
and the demand for such collars was

New raincoats are full length, with

One of the loveliest opponents Of

Satin cords and bands are being

Collars made entirely of soft satin

A perfectly fat back line is fash

Broadcloth will continue as a fav-

soft, supple weaves will be preferred.
A single large Gala lily rests

Not coat but a cloak of cloth to

Blue Popular.

In spite of its long continued reign
in popular favor the forecast of col
ors shows that blue is in the lead.
The greenish blues and the blush
greens will be very fashionable. Pea
cock blues, some light shades and
some deep, are most attractive. And
then come the cloudy blues, the gray
ish blues and slaty blues. blues with
a suggestion of lavender and those of
the electric hue. The Gobelin blues
are liked and the old navy is never
taken from the list.

Simplicity.

Simplicity is one of the most no.
ticeable features of the fashionable
costumes. whether for day or even
ing wear, says the Pictorial Review.
And although trimming is used, and
used extensively, its purpose is not
merely decorative, for it must aid
in the creation of modish lines and
accentuate salient point to enhance
its beauty, else the attractiveness of
both gown and trimming will be de-
stroyed. Artistic effects must be
created and the trimming, as a trim
ming, must be transformations, blend
ing into the costume to form a COM
plete part of the whole, without de-
tracing from the simplicity and
beauty of the classical lines which
form the basis of present-day modes.

Careful Exercise.

A timely article on reducing the
hips is published in the Pictorial Re-
view: When beginning the exercise
one should be very careful to get used
to it very gradually, as it puts a great
strain upon the muscles and is liable
to make one rather lame at first, If
taken too violently. One should be
extended upon the floor, supporting
ones self by one hand, while the
other is placed upon the hip. While
holding this position raise the body
gradually from the floor until the
whole weight is supported by the
hand and feet. 1t is comparatively
easy to get the body from the floor
as far as the knees, but to bring it up
to the full extent just described is
not easy at first. 1t should be, tried
first on one side and then on the
other.

and many inexpensive wash fabrics.
1t can be made with collar to match
or worn with separate one, and it is
altogether to be commended both for
the odd waist and for the shirt waist

The waist is made with lining,
which can be used or omitted as
liked, and consists of fronts and back.

Along the Eastern coast, as the
berry became scarce, and the price
proportionately high, the thrifty
Yankee set out new plants in the old

take root readily If simply thrust in

field planting, setting the little
punches of twigs something less than

Another method practiced is to cut
a quantity of twigs into inch-long
pieces, and scatter them broadcast
like wheat and harrow them in.
