In order to get the best results, 1t is
desirable to have the CRAFTS made of
rather tender shoots, such as have
only partially hardened. In order to
get a proper union with this sort of
tissue, 1t is necessary that the cut be
made with very sharp knife, prefer
ably with a razor. The two parts
are then rather tenderly joined togeth-
er using very soft cloth bandages or
moistened raffia. 1t is desirable fur
thermore to cover the grated plant
with bell jar or hand glass of some
sort for few days in order to prevent
too rapid evaporation. If it is left ex-
posed to the open air, especially if the
atmosphere is rather dry, the scion
dries out and willis so badly that it
cannot recover. The saddle graft is
made by cutting the stock wedge
shaped, while the scion is cut with a
V-shaped slit so that it will fit down
over the wedge of the stock. The rest
of the process is carried out exactly as
already described for the splice graft.

TILE DRAINING PAYS.
One Farmer Who Is Certain That the
Investment Is Wise One.

In my opinion tile will pay the larg-
est possible dividends on money in
vested, writes an Iowa farmer in Or
ange Judd Farmer. / do not care how
much or how little is put in the profits
will be in proportion.
My experience indicates that the
tile drains should be laid below the
frost line. / confess, however, that
/ never heard of any damage to a
tile drain from frost. Experience liz
dicates that a depth of 3 to 31h feet
is most satisfactory. think the work
should be done while there is water
in the ground so that there will be no
possibility of making a mistake in the
grade. / like a fall of at least two
inches to the 100 feet More would
of course, be better
Tile bitches should be straight.
Lines of tile should be placed from
three to five rods apart, according to
fall and kind of soil. The three-inch
tile is the common size for short dis
lance bitches, but a larger size should
be used for outlet drains Tile drains
will not do much work in spring until
the frost is out of the ground OF
course, if it is very wet some of the
water may seep in. / am especially
interested in tile draining, but do not
pretend to know more than expert
enced men. do know, however, thai
when l put in tile drain it does the
work all right. l only wish / were
able to put in lot more.

LARGE HATS STILL WORN.
Tendency Now Is to Have the Trim
ming Rather Flat.

Despite predictions to the contrary,
the large hattie very large hats
still fashionable, but the tendency
this season is to have the trimming
rather fiat, except in the case of the
dressy plumed hats designed for aft
ernoon and evening wear. Some of
the smartest hats shown by the inn
porters are quite severe in trimming,
but the lines of these hats are so
good that they are generally most be-
coming. One particularly smart shape
which would be excellent for street
wear with a tailor gown, is shown
this season. The brim of this hat is
very large, rolled slightly at the left
and down little at the right side of
the back. The crown is low, but very
large, and is wider at the base than
at the top, which is rounded in mound
shape. Corded silk with rather a
large rib, in any desired color, is
used for the top of the hat, the un-
derbrim being faced with black moire
silk. The shape was shown trimmed
in two ways, one style which was es
pecially smart for young girls having
only twist of wide black moire rib
bon around the crown, with large
bow at the left side of the back, the
pointed ends of which were allowed
to fall a little over the edge of the
brim. The other style of trimming
was little more elaborate, as it con
sisted of large gourah feather in
quill shape with a stiff rib in the CEN
ter, fastened at the left side of the
front with a small fiat bow of black
satin ribbon.

NOVELTIES FOR DAINTY LUNCH.
Welcome Refreshment at the End Of
Card Games.

In these days of table or two OF
bridge as a form of entertainment,
hostesses are interested in inexpen-
sive novelties for refreshments.

the customs of the city and the time
OK the party. During the hot weather
the morning has been the favorite
hour. Play lasts from ten o'clock I'M
I'll 1880, when a cold lunch is served
on the card tables or in the shaded
dining room.
This might consist of halves of
canteloupe, with few blackberries in
each piece; jellied gumbo in cups;
boned chicken or Virginia ham, car
rots and peas in aspic, tiny French
rolls, iced coffee, whole tomatoes
stuffed with chopped green peppers,
and olives covered with mayonnaise;
peach or blackberry sherbet with va
nllla waters.
Such menu can easily be prepared
the day before at the cost of but a few
dollars.
II a lunch seems too much trouble,
iced coffee, tiny bacon or cheese sand
Wiches, cake and candy are passed a
little before noon, so the guests may
get home to lunch.
With these light refreshments dain-
tiness should make up for variety In
vest in a set of card cake cutters,
which consist of four pieces to repre-
sent the aces of spades, clubs, hearts
and diamonds. These can be used to
shape both the sandwiches and cakes.
Bake a rich cup cake in thick layers
IN an oblong pan to save waste in
cutting. Ice the clubs and spades in
a fudge icing and the other two shapes
in a boiled white icing colored red
with currant strip or few drops of
cochineal.
Serve the iced coffee in tall, thin
glasses half filled with cracked ice
and with whipped cream on the top.
Russian tea or-ginger ale may be sub
stituted for the coffee.
Instead of the sandwiches, crack
ers, buttered,, covered with Parmesan
cheese and red pepper and toasted in
the oven may be used.
The candies can be made at home,
either fudge or white grapes, seeded
and covered with cream fondant.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ito be
