An exquisite dress trimming Is
filet net, entirely of gold.
The tunic, in fact, can hardly be
said TO have even an established
vogue of its own as yet.
The American bolero is made of
four silk handkerchiefs put together
and connected with inserting,
The advance styles of hats would
indicate that ostrich plumes are to
be as great favorite as ever.
The edge of the tunic gives oppor-
tunity for the display of original
designs in well-executed hand en-
broidery.
The separate coat, with long and
tancifully shaped skirt part, has
similar effect in smart carriage and
visiting gowns.
The horseshoe pin set with coral
is as useful for fastening the girdle
as it is the collar for which it was
originally designed,
White cotton wolfe, trimmed law
ishly with valenciennes and cluny or
Irish crochet laces, is being used
again for lingerie waists.
Every dressy event in Paris calls
out collections OF toilets so filmy and
beautiful in color that one can think
only of tlocks of butterflies in look
ing over them.
Waists are strikingly plain, but of
course every woman isn't going to
wear plain waists, for some women
have the courage to wear what is be-
coming regardless of fashion.
Every season witnesses some new
mode in hat trimmings. This sea-
son the preference is for flowers and
wings, and quite vogue for Ameri-
can beauty roses, which combine so
effectively with almost any color of
trimmings.

THE WOMAN AMANUENsIs.

The male amanuensis has been
hOpelessly beaten in the race by the
busy woman scholar. Her industry
ts ureIess and her knowledge abso-
Iute9y thorough. Her winning quail
ficati0n is patience-the dry details
which slacken a mans attention are
vigorously grappled with in her case,
90 Tint the demand for her labor and
knowledge is on the increase. In
fcw years. however, she will have
wiped the male amanuensis out OF
existence. But 1t is characteristic of
her that the British Museum is the
only great building in London in
which one never sees a pretty cos
tune except inside the cover OF

ALFALFA IN MAINE.

AS result OF recent experiences
with alfalfa the Maine station APP
pears little more hopeful, notwith-
standing the poor average success of
the many hundreds of trials that have
been given to the crop in that sec.
ton during the past twenty-five years.
Some progress, however, seems to
have been made, and there are plan
tations which have been successful
for number of years. Weeds seem
to be the greatest obstacle, next to
climate and unfavorable seasons. At
Bath alfalfa plants have been estab-
lished for more than ten years, and
have made very large growth

POOR STOCK CONDEMNED.

1t would be better if the farmers,
instead of using poor stock from the
West, would select their stock from
their own lambs, and in doing this as
much care and judgment should be
used as in selecting dairy cow. In
regard to profits, one farmer has
sold forty lambs at $7S5 per head,
while another breeder has obtained
thirty-two lambs from twenty-four
ewes and they have netted him an
average of $10.06 apiece. Professor

MAKING INTRoDUcTIoNs,

Introductions should always take
the simplest form, and, without ex-
ception, the man is always presented
to the woman, the latters name being
the first mentioned, as Mrs. So-and-
So, ! want to present Mr.. Smith to
you" This phrase is sufficient. 1t
is not necessary then to say ''Mr.
Smith, want you to meet Mrs. So
and-So." AS matter of fact this
repetition to the man is bad form,
because it then presents the woman
to him.
1t is the height of rudeness to pre-
sent a man to a woman without first
asking her permission. When, how
ever, the guests are in small draw
ing room and the occasion is an in
formal one such strictness is not OBJ
served, for it is taken for granted
that the hostess friends are persons
whom one wishes to meet. In a pub
lie place, where any one may be able
to enter, as at big dance or recep-
ton, and where with all the care that
can be employed the assembly may
still be mixed, one cannot be too par
ticular not to introduce man until
woman has expressed her willing
ness to meet him.
Whether in large ballroom or
small sitting room it is always good
form to take the man to the woman;
under no circumstances should the
woman go to the man.
When a hostess presents two stran-
gers she should mention topic in
which they are mutually interested.
For example, If they have friend
in common it is very simple to say,
Mrs. So-and-So knows Miss Jones"
or if they care about some particular
sport, work, etc., the hostess can say,
You two should find each other con-
genial, for you both play bridge" or
like golf"
This gives the two who nave just
met and know nothing of each
other a topic on which to begin talk
ing, and thus tides over an embar-
RAISING pause.
Etiquette no longer requires that
a woman shall either rise or give
her hand when a man is introduced.
Indeed, it is considered more correct
for her to remain seated and bow
graciously If, as sometimes hap
pens, the man and woman may know
each other very we'll by name and
have many common interests, more
cordially is expressed by the woman
shaking hands when the two are
brought together. This is distinctly
optional with her, and the act means
more friendliness than is to be ex-
pected at the usual introduction.
Should a man offer his hand before
the woman does she should take it
to avoid the appearance of ungra-
ciousness. Washington Star.

CLEANLINESS ESSENTIAL.

o. #. Hunziker. of the New York
station, summarizes a bulletin on the
care and handling OF milk as follows:
THE greater the attention paid to
scrupulons cleanliness in handling
milk at all stages, the shorter the
time that elapses between the draw
ing. straining and cooling of milk,
and the lower the temperature to
which it is cooled, the greater the
freedom from heterogeneous, the
longer it will retain its normal condi-
lions, the more profitable it's produc--
ton will be, and the more wholesome
will it be for old and young"
