FlLET NET AND EMBROIDERY.
Combination Just Now the Rage OF
the Season in Paris.

Filet net, the rage of the season in
Paris, is an ideal material to elabor.
ate with intricate embroidery. The
square mesh is transparent, SO that il
may be done from a picture taken
from any book Or from the design
shown in a newspaper. The net is
basted on the picture and the out
line is made by darning around the
design, using heavy needle and the
new coarse wood fiber. When all the
outlines are in it is easy enough to fill
1t in by darning the net closely with
silk floss or chenille.
If the net is for a waist to be worn
with linen suit the outline is pretty
done in soutache braid, filled in with
coarse linen thread. For dress moth
ing could be more beautiful than a
filet net embroidered in chenille dots,
or If an evening dress is to be made
the dots may be outlined in chenille
and filled in with gold or silk thread
or vice versa. The band to go around
the open neck and over the shoulders
may be band of net about three
inches wide embroidered solid in gold
or silver and chenille.

THE OLD HITcHlNe POST.
1t May Be Useful, but Is UnsightIy and
Generally Town Nuisance.

That good old hitching post! What
a familiar object to all of us who had
the good fortune to be reared near q
country town. Still, while tender
memories hang around the old post
there is much about 1t at times worthy
of condemnation. There Is nothing
that makes main street Of a small
town look 80 shabby and thoroughly
countrified and back-woodish as a row
Of rickety old hitching posts on each
side Of the street. Constant tramping
and paving near them makes holes in
the ground, unsightly mud-holes in
damp weather and ill-smelling and Of.
fensive in numerous respects. 1t may
appear bit OF enterprise on the part
Of the merchant to erect a number Of
posts in front of his store, but does he
gain business by it? How often do
you see Farmer Shortcrop drive in, tie
his team to the post in front Of Smiths
store and go over to Green's to do his
trading? AS long as hitching posts are
allowed to occupy places in front of
stores on main streets it will be Inn
possible to keep the streets In the
neat and good condition that they
should be in. Far better to have on
some unoccupied street within easy
reach of the business sections posts
where the farmers can hitch their
teams. Every town which has the
power to control its own affairs should
make regulations that will keep tho
hitching post from "ornamenting" the
main streets.

USE CARE IN SELECTING BELT.
Good idea for Large Women to Avoid
1t Entirely.

A belt should not be too deep, and A
tall, slender person is usually long
wasted and the deep belt gives a
sort OF grotesque length to the waist
line. A small person cannot wear the
deep girdle belt, for the dividing line
is completely out of harmony with the
rest of the costume About the only
time a deep belt can be worn is when
soft dress of chiffon is worn and
the girdle belt has the appearance of
being part Of the costume and no
harsh outlines are shown. A one and
one-half inch belt is neatest and some
can wear the one-inch belt. Very
large women should avoid a belt en-.
tirely, when possible, having the waist
made to come over the skirt. This is
only possible when one is wearing a
costume. If shirt waist is worn the
belt should be narrow and well drawn
down in front. The large woman will
find the belt pin more to her advan.
tage than a belt buckle, for with it
she can adjust the belt in the exact
place where wanted A large woman
can wear the hip-length coat and it
is always dressy, much more so than
many OF the longer coats.

Nonproaressive People.

A commercial club, a business
mems association or whatever it may
be called, that is useful in furthering
the interests of any city or town is a
highly useful organization. The field
for work is unlimited Its extent is
only limited to the power Of the mem
bers to act and accomplish. One of
the chief aims of all such associations
should be to advance the varied in
terests of the towns In which they are
started. Sometimes these organiza-
tions fail in their purpose because
they are not started rightly. Some
person who has nothing to do but col
lect rent, pay his money for supplies
to some mail order house, and coffect
interest from the bank, or the ones
whose property is mortgaged to him,
is made the president, or given a place
on the executive board. What is the
result? The club goes under. Its USE
fulness has been destroyed even be-
fore it's organization. The only sue
cessful clubs are the ones that are
under the control of the live bust
ness men of the towns, who have
made their money by their business
connections and who depend upon the
growth Of the town for their continued
success. Keep the knocke- out of the
commercial club. He is sure to be
disturbing factor. His place in the
club affords him a place to further
his own selfish interests, which in
ninety-nine cases out of the hundred is
in keeping back every enterprise that
will possibly increase his taxes.

PRICES OF COMMODITIES.
"Labor Should Reap lts Reward" Ga
the Keynote of Commerce.

The matter Of prices and prOft 10
always interesting, not alone to retail
ers of merchandise, but to consumers
as well. There has been nothing that
has been so troublesome to every class
as the matter Of prices. 1t is all easy,
there is no great problem to solve,
and 1t all rests in the little phrase,
labor should reap its reward" Cost
is an all important thing in every
product. There Is the raw material,
the expense Of putting the manufac-
tured article In mercantile form, It
matters not what the product is, It
Is the expense of preparing it for tho
consumer, the price of the raw mate
rial, cost Of manufacture and distribu-
ton that counts. Allowance must be
made for an equitable compensation to
all having a. part in the production of
any article of commerce. We hear
OF cut prices, Of cheapness in this or
that staple, but when II is given con-
sideration, where is the cheapness?
Every article has or should have a
standard value. There is no good
reason why the worker in the shop
should not have fair and equitable
compensation for his labor. The man.
ufacturer who has thousands Of cap
ital invested should have interest and
pay for his time; the man who places
the product in the hands of the re-
taller is entitled to pay according to
his ability as a salesman, and the
retailer should have equitable inter-
est on the capital he has invested and
compensation for his time and labor.
Here you have all in a nutshell. The
elimination OF the middleman de-
stroys one of the established customs
and industries. When any article Of
commerce Is placed on the market at
a lower price than cost of manufac.
ture and the expense Of placing It be-
fore the consumer, somebody is the
loser. Here is food for reflection, and
it behooVes the merchants and con.
sumers to think the matter over.

Pearls on Petticoats.

Some of tho newest petticoats for
evening wear are made of alternate
bands of ribbon and lace, only the
richest satin broche being employed.
The large raised flowers of the design
are worked over with thick floss silk
embroideries, while in the case of
elaborate evening skirts tiny seed
pearls are used to outline the flowers,
the larger petals being formed Of sill
yer tissue ringed with crystal beads.
For day wear pompadour ribbon, with
black groundwork, is patterned with
immense cherries in dark shades of
crimson, or with life-size punches of
lilac in deep purple shading to pale
mauve and white.

Co-operatlve Scheme.

One of the latest crafts to gather in
the farmers is the cooperative store
game. The field for this work is pro-
life; the west has had prosperity that
has filled the pockets of many farm
ers, and it has made them greedy for
more, and easy victims for the man
who has a scheme that promises a
field for investment and the saving Of
more dollars. The cooperative store
is plan that takes, and everywhere
success has been made of a co-opera-
tive elevator or similar enterprise
that may be in the farmers line the
promoter of the cooperative store gets
busy. If only little stock is sub
scribed for, all the same, as it gives
the promoter and his hackers better
swing, and the jobbing houses that
are behind the movement will have
things their own way. The big rake.
of Is in the supplying Of goods at from
ten to fifteen per cent more than the
legitimate dealer would be required
to pay, and selling at a smaller per-
centage Of profit. The salary of the
manager sad the clerks takes up the
big share of the profits, but as long
as showing of earnings can be made
the scheme succeeds, and the regular
stores find business dull. Dozens of
stores of this class have failed with
"a the past few. years.

HURT HOME TRADE
WHAT GREEDY, sHoRT-sIGHTED
PEOPLE DO.
WAYS THAT KILL CUSTOM
Fair Treatment by Tradesmen Assists
In Building Up Towns and In.
Greases Business for
ALL

One of the troubles in small towns
seems to be that petty jealousies keep
the business men from working in har-
mony. There is just so much business
to be had, and it either goes to the
home stores, the mail order houses,
the department stores Or some near
by city, or perhaps is let go to
more progressive neighboring town.
It should be the aim Of every town
to make it's trade territory as large
as possible. It Is the attitude Of the
business men that counts. One good,
live man in business in a small town
is benefit to the whole place. He
brings trade to all. People are
swayed to and fro by opinions that are
formed sometimes without careful
reasoning. 1t is the best policy to
treat each and every one fairly and
honestly.
Let the average farmer think that
he has been given the worst end of
bargain, and he will ponder over the
matter for years. It is not a good
idea for a merchant to have a scale
of prices for different customers.
Charge John Jones $12 for a suit of
clothes, and sell the same suit to his
neighbor, Jim Smith, for $11, and
Jones will find it out and feel that he
has been treated unfairly, and Jones
is right about it, too. There is one
town, a county seat, in a western
state, a place of nearly 5000 popula-
ton. Its trade territory extends for
q dozen miles in each direction. The
country has a large foreign popula-
ton. They are the best classes Of
customers, liberal buyers and not
quibblers over prices. Still, they de-
sire Just treatment. A few years ago
thousands Of dollars in trade was d.
verted from the town through deal
er in agricultural implements being
a poor business man. A wealthy Ger
man purchased from him several hun
dred dollars worth of agricultural ma
chinery, wagons and other goods.
The farmer wanted a harrow. A
price was made-$33. A few days
later the farmer was at town where
there were but two stores and an ele-
vator. He saw the same kind Of har-
row and was told that $3.50 would
buy it. He visited the county seat a
few days later, called on the man
from whom he purchased his imple-
ments and again asked the price of
the harrow, and was told the same
as before. He then stated that the
same make and kind of harrow had
been offered him for $3.50 less. After
some talk he was told that he could
have the piece of machinery for the
same price. He did not take it, but
secured the one offered him by the
man in the smaller town. He did not
like the style of the dealer in the
larger town. In fact, he concluded
that the other storekeepers Of the
place were of the same caliber. He
quit trading, and not alone was his
trade lost to the county seat town, but
the trade Of a score of his neighbors,
and even they changed their post Of
fee addresses to the smaller place.
The trade of this one farmer lost to
the county seat was the means of
building up healthy trade in the
smaller town and bringing to it other
business places. D. M. CARR.
