Gowns Not Over Tioht.

Very many gowns worn by aristo
cratic Parisiennes show that the best
dressed women, while they have re.
stricted the number of their garments
to next to nothing, and while draping
the bust, but leaving the entire arm
and shoulder absolutely nude and one
ankle in coquettish evidence, do not
however, drape their gowns with the
tightness that some of the sensational
dressn aker's models would lead one to
suppose. Though the draperies are
close and everything is weighted to
hang fiat and straight. nothing is
stetched into a tight wrinkle. Flesh
colored or white tulle is inevitably in
side the corsage, as the corsage line
runs straight about under the arm or
extends in deep point or square quite
to the high belt.

TO WATER FLOWER BASKETS.
Use of Small Pulley Will Make the
Work Easier.

The fern baskets and hanging bas.
kets now used on porches when hung
high enough to look well usually are
out of reach and the watering of them
often enough to keep plants thrifty is
a task. To overcome the need of stand
ing on chairs, stools, ETC., in order to
reach them suspend the baskets by a
cord such as is used on window avn
ings, and instead of the usual hook
in the ceiling of porch screw in small
pulley through which to run cord.
Screw another pulley in ceiling of
porch column and an awning hook in
back of column about four feet from
floor. Run cord through first pulley
along ceiling of porch to second pulley
and through cord down back of post,
and fasten on awning hook When
necessary to water basket lower to
within easy reach or rest on porch
railing. The flowers can easily be
watered and cared for and the basket
raised to place again. With fern bas.
kets which must be taken down and
plunged into a bucket of water at least
once a week the plan is excellent. as
the cord can be long enough to allow
basket to be lowered to porch floor.

READY FOR WINTER
WAYS OF PUTTING UP CANNED
VEGETABLES.
Some Trouble to Prepare, but They
Are Welcome Additions to the
Menu During the Cold
Months.

Canned Beets (WhoIe) Wash the
beets, selecting those that are small
and of medium size. Leave on cou-
pie of inches of the top, so that they
will not bleed, and be careful not to
break the skin. Boil half an hour, or
until done; turn off the hot water and
put the beets carefully into wide
mouthed jars. Fill with hot water,
set into a pan of boiling water and
cook until the water in the jars has
reached the boiling. point. Fill up the
jars to overflowing from the boiling
kettle, put on the top, and seal at
once.
Canned Beets (Siced).-Boil and
peel early beets as for immediate use,
slice and put into fruit jars Add salt
pepper and tablespoonful of sugar to
quart of good cider vinegar, and
bring to boil. While still scalding
pour over the beets in the jars, and
when filled to overfowing put on the
tops of the jars and SEAL
Canned Tomatoes (WhoIe) Choose
large, firm tomatoes of uniform size.
lay them in boiling water for a few
moments, until the skins are loosened,
and slip these off. Lay just enough
tomatoes to fill one jar in a large
saucepan of boiling water cover and
leave for eight minutes Take them
out carefully, put into the jar, fill full
with boiling water and seal.
Canned Tomatoes (Stewed) .-Scald
the tomatoes, take off the skins and
lay the tomatoes in a colander to drip.
When all are ready put into preserv-
ing kettle, bring to the boiling point
and cook for Is minutes. Drain off
the surplus liquor, add salt to taste,
and turn the tomatoes, boiling, into
the cans. Close at once
Canned Corn and Tomatoes.-Boil
"a ears of tender green corn until
done, and cut from the cob while still
hot. Peel and chop into small pieces
"a ripe tomatoes. Put the two vege-
tables together, salt to taste and re-
turn to the fire in a preserving kettle.
Cook for minute after it reaches
the boil; can and seal Immediately.
Canned Spinach.-Pick over the
spinach and wash it carefully in three
or four waters, that no sand or dirt
may be left in it. Pick the sprays
apart, discarding all tough stems and
wilted leaves. Put over the fire in
boiling salted water, and cook, as for
the table, for about 20 minutes or un-
til the spinach is done. Take it out
with fork or skimmer, and pack into
jars, filling them full. Pour in boiling
water to fill all the cracks and over
flow the tops, and seal. When to be
used, 1t can be taken out, heafSd,
chopped, and seasoned as the frs&ss
spinach.

Care of Curtains.

When the curtains are taken down
for the summer too much care cannot
be expended upon them, for they are
not only difficult to replace but they
are the most annoying things in the
world to make for the particular win
dows of the house.
The heavy ones should, of course,
be folded lengthwise in half and laid
fiat, particularly if they are OF velvet
A very good idea is to first lay sheet
upon an unused bed; upon this lay
the curtains, folded in half, inside out,
one on top of the other, and then cover
the whole with another sheet.
If they are going to be kept in the
storeroom, two chairs may be placed
back to back-though not too close
together-and the curtains may be
spread over them and covered with
sheet. There will then be no insight
ly creases to mar them and they may
be rehung.

Half Finished Embroiderv

For quite long time the needlework
shops have been selling pillow tops
doilies, centerpieces and table covers
partly embroidered, so the beginner in
the art merely has to copy the work
already begun.
This is particularly easy method
for the elderly woman whose eyesight
is not sufficiently good to choose the
shades of the silks for herself. 1t is,
too, much more encouraging to finish
work already begun. 1t gives an i'm.
petus, desire to see it complete, quite
lacking when just the stamped ma.
terial is lying in the work basket.
Besides embroidery one may also
buy bits of drawn work in which the
threads have already been pulled and
one corner is finished. AS SO few know
the intricate stitches, 1t is far better
to invest in one of these-even IL 1t
costs somewhat more.

POINTS OF FRENCH LINGERIE.
The New Undergarment Is Worn
Under the Petticoatless Gown.

Lingerie dresses for grownups are
being made of sheerest null without
a scrap of lace of any kind, but COW
cred with very bold floral design done
in white and richly raised. The de-
sign is massed about the torso, bust,
waist snd hips, the skirt set on to the
bodic with a beading and a sash
wound loosely twice about the figure,
but weighted at the ends. This sash
is in printed silk with the design
masseo on the ends above deep fringe
The neck and hem of the null gown
IS trimmed simply with hem-stitching
and tucks, and the short embroidered
sleeve is straight and wide enough to
reveal the arm bare to the shoulder,
its hem plain.
Lingerie fans in handkerchief EN-.
oroidery mounted on sandal wood are
the newest things, and most fascinat-
ing of all possible combinations is a
single garment to wear over silk skirt
and corset, and made entirely of mar
row encircling bands of lace set to-
gether with crocheted linen stitch.
This garment consists of corset cover,
pantaloons drawn about the knee with
frills and ribbon, and a short. scant
skirt that does not pass the knee, the
entire thing is lace bands save for
half dozen narrow bands of white
null let In about the waist and hips.
This garment is hardly thicker than a
handkerchief, and yet it is enough to
prevent the corset and garters from
making mark through the petticoat-

Linen Reticules.

Attractive pocketbooks, like reti-

linen. They are Just the shape of that

they are every bit as picturesque. The

How to Maintain the Fertility.

How to Maintain the Fertility.
1t is a noted fact that where legumes
are grown on land say two-fifths of
the time. which certainly should be the
case, the nitrogen supply is held. 1t is
also we'll known that the feeding of
the crops grown on the same farm, the
proper care of the barnyard manure,
and it's application to the lands, will
return all the fertilizing ingredients
with the exception Of such as compose
the animal body, and such other prod
ucts as wool, cheese and butter as are
sold from the farm. They are actually
lost to the soil forever. Thls1oss is
represented on phosphorus and POTASH
UNI compounds, and can be supplied In
three distinct ways only. They can
be purchased in the form of feeding
stuffs for farm animals, finding their
way to the soil through the manure
or, they may be secured directly by
commercial fertilizers; and again by
the subsoil running down to a depth of
or feet from the surface.
Roots of all crops go down into the
soil from to feet, and take directly
the ingredients from the subsoil, and
, upon their decay tend to increase its
porosity. This assists the capillary
movements of water which reacts as
an agent to carry fertilizing ingredi-
ents as they become soluble in the low.

STABBED
PRIEST
ENRAGED MAN TRIED
TO KILL HIM.
IN PRESENCE OF 400 PARISHION
ERs OF ST. JoSEPH,s CHURCH,
SALISBURY, MO.

Salisbury, Mo-, May 25-The Rev.
Father Joseph F. Lubeley, aged 33
years, pastor of st. Josephs Catholic
church of Salisbury, was stabbed twice
with a pocketknife and perhaps fatally
injured in church Sunday morning by
Joseph Schuette, prosperous farmer
living near here, who is believed to
have become suddenly demented.
The stabbing occurred in view of 400
worshipers many of them women. The
injured man was taken to a nearby
residence, where his wounds were at
tended to by physicians. His condition
is critical
Immediately after Father Lubeley
had finished high mass he started to
leave the Church. At the door he was
rushed upon suddenly from behind by
Schuette, who stabbed him twice, fell
ing him. The first blow from the knife
struck the priest in the temple and the
second cut a deep cash in the neck,
just missing the jugular vein. The
crazed man was about to stab the
priest third time when Mrs. Barbara
Ginter and John Gates, both members
of the church, caught his uplifted
hand. In the struggle which followed
Schuette stabbed Mrs. Ginter in the
hand and inflicted a painful cut on
Gates arm. A dozen men came to the
aid of Mrs. Ginter and Gates and over.
powered Schuette. Struggling and
fighting, he was taken to Jail.
1t is believed Schuette, who has been
a devout member of the church, be
came suddenly deranged and the at
tempt on Father Lubeley's life re
suited.
During the services Schuette sat In
the rear of the church. 1t is said he
glared constantly at the priest as if II
great rage.
Father Lubeley had this to say: "Ht
attacked me from behind and had NJ
chance to defend myself. Fortunately
the first thrust of the knife grazed m!
temple. 1t would have killed me hat
it struck me directly. The second blow
missed my jugular by narrow mar
gin.
"Schuette and I were the best o
friends and l never did anything con
sciously or unconsciously to incur nj
enmity. He must have lost his reason.
Another version of the attempte'
assassination is that Father Lubele
had publicly reprimanded Schuette TO
attacking a member of the congrega
ton last Saturday.
