Jameson of Peoria, ILL.,, as the speak
err who had come to discuss the re-
publican side of the question, but who,
because of conditions, would have to
speak for both sides. For fully twenty
minutes Dr. Jameson made as good a
democratic speech as was ever deliv-

cal followers of that faith to wax in
tensely enthusiastic, and then the tide
turned-Mr Jameson declaring the
democratic party the party Of mis-
rule, mobrule and malevolence.

Fifty Bushels to the Acre.

Boone. Aug. 15.-Boone county has q
barley field which went fifty bushels
to the acre. If any other county can
duplicate this, the owner of the farm
would like to hear of the same. Reports
from threshers are to the effect that
oats are better in the Boone county
community than the general average
over the state. In portions of the
state oats gave yield as low as fif-
teen bushels to the acre. Two fields
show wide difference in yield in this
community, making as low as twenty
five bushels. and as high as fifty BUSH
els to the acre. A field Of barley be-
longing to William Williams went ov-
er fifty bushels to the acre. Both crops
are probably above the average In
quality.

BABY'S WARM COAT.

1t is not a minute too early to begin
making baby's autumn clothes, and
particularly when they are to be hand
embroidered.
Beautiful coats may be made OF Bed
ford cord in white and finished all the
way round the edge with buttonholed
scallops. They may be plain, even cut
on the kimono style. If desired, so
there will be no extra frills and fur
bellows to annoy the tiny wearer. For
cold weather a lining may be added
Of white a~lbatross, which washes easily.
One wise mother a made a padded
jacket of two thicknesses of habutai
silk. interlined with a layer of lambs
wool. 1t is then quilted so that it
will stand washing and cleaning; it
makes the warmest little jacket imag-
Unable.
Do not invest in a fur coat for the
baby. as it is apt to cause many a
cold difficult to break up. 1t Is hot
and causes the little one to p~erspire.

THE NEWEST WAISTS.

The directoire lines have their effect
upon all imported garments and a
novelty comes to us in the way of
waists. 1t has the high girdle effect
and Is to be worn over the skirt. The
bodice is fashioned after those seen
on the dl~rectoire costumes. with Jokes
made of lace or chiffon in combination
with narrow lace or hand embroidery.
The sleeves are long or short, but al
ways deliberately trimmed to correspond
with the other part of the waist. Many
of them are completely covered with
hand embroidery.
They can be bought all ready made
in high-class shops, 1t only being neces-
sary to adjust them to the armholes
of the dress. Raised effects In Irish
crochet or other laces and fancy but
tons are used for trimming both the
yoke and the sleeves.
Such waists can be worn either with
the regulation skirt or with those of
the high-waisted style.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have been going with a young man

me of other girls who ask him to go

ECHO OF THE MERRY WIDOW.

The wide hat. very little trimmed ex-
cept with a broad scarf or drapery of
soft silk, Is still as popular as ever In
Paris. In conjunction with the tight
tunic robe, 1t gives a very artistic sill
houette. 1t is probable. however, that
the winter winds will do much to sup
press 1t in the Parisienne's favor, for
the Parisienne. despite her Characters
tic friyolity, is an eminently practical
lady. 1t is a little early to foretell what
materials are to be in favor this
autumn, but certainly fine blue serges
seem to have met with renewed atten-
ton this summer. Even for the pic
ture gown" this useful material Is still
largely used. The texture particularly
in demand Is the finest n softest
make. AS 1t Is very resisting and warm
and light, It bids fair to remain long In
favor for those gowns.

COLLARS AND RUCHES
FOR THE SEASON.

In all the modern developments OF
neck garnitures the employment of the
ruche is dominant. One Of the most
popular forms is the high collar made
of plain or tucked net ~surmounted by
a white ruche at the top. Usually
this collar is much higher in the back
than in the front. 1t is quite different
from the one worn during the sum-
mer, for the points are placed nearer
the back and are rounded, giving it a
deep effect as it goes toward the front.
This can hardly be called a Direc-
toire idea, for the rufus resemble very
closely those worn during the reign
of Henry vi. of France, and in other
places lean toward the pompadour.
In many cases collars of this order
are a part of the dress. This means
the buying of many yards of ruching,
for such collars cannot remain fresh
for any great length of time.
Tailored neckwear has made its ap-
p~earance In a variety of taffeta and
other silk effects.

6Vifb the Needle and Thread.

1t is not surprising at all to find the
latest lace collars composed of three
lengths of insertion, divided with waist
material. They are, unquestionably,
very high. Neck arrangement is grace
full this season-decidedly ~so-though
many collarless dresses are worn for
house wear, especially the narrow yoke
shaped to the neck.
For a lightweight tailored suit, pa
mama cloth is a good material. Cash

dresses; thai is. for entire gowns, as
1t does not make too heavy a bodice.
The dark seryiceable shade may be
chosen II 1t Is made to be worn with
either a net or some other white
guimpe. That will brighten 1t up and
make 1t suitable for a young girl.
The skirt should preferably be a
plated one, as this material Is a little
light in weight to be made in a plain
style.

about a chemise is not to join the

on each side and slip dainty ribbon
through them, thus tying the shoulder

For a dainty coat for the baby OF

the baby slip, only make little sleeves
with bands of silk around extreme

material. These coats intended for In
