@ARIS has discovered new corr
- bination. and one that seems to
have every advantage from the
practical point of view. as well
as being artistic in the extreme. This
new idea is the combination OF plain
or checked materials with Powered
lawns or silks. and the idea Is ex-
cellent. because 1t does away with ex-
pensive lace trimming.
Each of the three gowns shown to-
day carries out this idea. and three
better gowns for the trousseau of the
June bride 1t IS hard to conceive.
They include q going-away gown.

robe, a linen gown for the morning
and O lingerie gown for the after
noon.
o. course. Cor going away the bride
will not wear that sensible little
cloth suit that she will adopt later.
and for this reason 1t seems as though
the many wolfe suits must specially
have been designed for this purpose.
The checked gown of the picture Is
a wolfe in blue and white. lined with
blue ;affeta The blue is a soft shade,
something on the Alice or Danish va
riety A band OF plain taffeta-to
match the blue in the material-is
used to head the band of pompadour
ribbon at the foot of the skirt. which
also has as it's predominating shade
the same blue. The bands on waist
and sleeves and the buttons are in
the plain taffeta, while the tiny vest
IS Of the Powered ribbon. The gown
Is perfectly fascinating. and the hat
is just the finishing touch. 1t is in
shades OF dull blue. with white roses
and white aigrette. A more effective
tout ensemble than this 1t would be
hard to find. and a honeymoon begun
so auspiciously would. indeed. be a
pleasant holiday.
The linen gown, which Is suitable
for morning calls or trips to the coun-
try club. is in rose pink with bands
of white linen. printed with pink
roses The printed linen might be
hard to get in this country. but flow
cred dimity or organdie would do as
we'll. Pearl buttons are used on tho
gown, while a yoke OF tucked sheer
lawn completes 1t. The hat Of black
chip Is trimmed with pink and white
wings.
A more dressy frock is that In pale
blue 'batiste. trimmed with bands of
Powered batiste in shades Of blue and
yellow These bands are outlined with
an edging of valenciennes lace one
half inch in width. The girdle is of
the Powered batiste. fastened with a
large gilt buckle. while the hat Is
white straw. trimmed with white
aigrette and a large yellow rose.
These gowns are inexpensive. for
they require no costly lace: their
beauty lies in the combination of col
oring, which any girl with taste may
find easy. An economical girl can
include twice as many gowns in her
wardrobe II she chooses such original
and artistic models as these instead
of those deliberately trimmed with
costly lace. which are not one bit
prettier. Girls who cannot AFFORD

ta.ns useful gowns. and that as many
of them as possible will serve dou-

that artist who makes artistic tailored
suits of cloth and cashmere-must
necessarily have his innings. for 1t Is
naturally impossible to wear the
charming lingerie gowns during such
very inclement weather. In the semi
tailored suits there are many combi-
nations of cloth and cashmere. one
composing the skirt and the other
the loose jacket. while the pelican
sleeve figures on the best semi-tai-
lored models. One OF the latest novel;
ties in the tailoring world is the
braided boiero which matches the
hem on the skirt. while the skirt it
self matches the sleeve OF the bolero.

are the Indispensable accompaniments

SUMMER NEGLIGE'E'

DERHAPS there Is nothing more
important in brides trous-
seau than the negligees, those
fascinating garments that dainty
brides may wear about their rooms
when receiving their most intimate
friends-those who need not be en-.
tertained in state. But a negligee to
be proper and attractive must not be
lacking in shape and must not look
as though 1t was just flung on any
way.
Today there are four pictures OF
charming negligees. each of which is
becoming. besides being inexpensive
and easy to make. Almost every
bride has selected her own color. that

most often in her dainty garments

The Wisconsin Stallion Law.

Horsemen living in this and other
states have been interested, and some
times even annoyed by certain provi-
sions of the Wisconsin stallion law.
The editors or the Wisconsin Farmer
are frequently called upon to define
regulations. For the benefit of recent
inquirers we are here giving, in SUBJ
stance. the provisions of the law
which deal with the sale of and pay
ment for stations sold in Wisconsin.
This particular enactment has three
main sections. The first provides that
all promisscry notes and other evi
dences of indebtness, taken or given
for any stallion shall have written or
or printed thereon in red ink the
words: The consideration for this
note is the sale of -. stallion or
interest therein. =
The second section specifies the
penalty for taking note without the
statement. By It's provisions any
person who sells a stallion or in
terest therein Or who takes a promis
sorry note or other evidence of in
debtedness for the whole or any part
of the consideration thereof and who
fails to state the consideration for said
note shall be liable to penalty equal
to the face of the note so taken.
The third section, which provides
that notes taken for stations are non
negotiable, has provoked criticism
upon the part of several horsemen.
It's terms are to the effect that all
notes or other evidences of indebtedness
taken as the whole or part payment
for a stallion or interest therein,
which shall express upon their faces
the considerations for which taken
shall be non-negotiable. The object
of the law was Of course, to keep out
Of tho state all irresponsible dealers
Of necessity it has practically made
the discounting Of notes an impos-
sibility, which in turn often calls for
the continued investment of large
amount Of capital Wisconsin Farmer

Influence of The Chicago Stock Show.

The International Live Stock Elk
position, which will this year be held
from November 28th to December 10th
inclusive, has proved such triumphal
success, has made such phenomenal
growth. has SO widened its educa-
tional influence and has scored as
such a popular attracti IN to all
classes, that the management found it
necessary to extend the dates, thus
Offering exhibitors greater opportuni-
ties, giving visitors more comfort and
granting those most directly connected
with the live stock industry more
time for study and research.
The educational influence that
radiates from this exposition cannot
be ove1estimated, and as the live
stock industry is the very life Of
agriculture and this great exposition
its right arm, no progressive farmer
or feeder can afford to ignore it,
The fate of the American farmer
is, to considerable extent, bound up
with the success Of his keeping live
stock. The father owes it TO his son
to give him such training as will
bring the best results, and the lessons
taught at the 'International" are
of such nature that they will not
only create ideals, but also assure
ultimate success; consequently, he
should not overlook this opportunity,
take advantage of the low railroad
fares, acquire such lessons at this
exposition as will prove beneficial to
him in the performance of his daily
labors, and also give himself and
family a change and perhaps much
needed recreation.

THE APPLE CROP is SHORT.
Statistics Indicate the Yield Is Not
Nearly What 1t Should Have Been
Through the Country.

Captain Handy Of Quincy, secretary
of the Mississippi Valley Apple Grow
ers association, is in receipt of
statistics of the crop this year through
out the Unied States. The figures
at hand place it at %, 900, 600 This
is quite few apples but nothing like
what the crop should be Twenty
years ago when there was not within
100, 600 acres as much apple orchard
as today the crop amounted to SO, 900, :
600 bushels. In the same proportion
per acre there ought this year to
have been a yield of 80, 600, 600
bushels.
Captain Handy, has letter from
August Wolf, of Spokane, special cor
respondent suggesting in connection
with the horticultural exposition in
that city next month an Apple
Week in America, and further sug-
costing that the captain take hold
the idea and see if he cannot work up
something that would boom the
orchard industry. The captain will
think it over for a few days before
making reply.

There we're Christmas trees at West
Corinth on Wednesday evening, e the
Meadow and East Corinth on Thursday
evening and at the Center on Friday
evening.
The one at the Center drew q crowded
house and was well worth seeing. There
was one feature Of it which was entirely
original with the committee and that was
log house painted on canvas, covered
with snow; q door and window in il.
This was exeauted by George Hopkins.
Santa Claus came out Of this door when
be made his appearance to deliver the
presents from the two well laden trees.
The exercises were well rendered and very
interesting and appropriate. Rev. Owens
added few well chosen remarks and
prayer.
The exercises at the Meadow we're also
very we'll rendered. The two classes oi
singers from tbs Meadow and south Cor.
inth schools drew applause; also the sons
by Fred Easter was especially fine. i
gave much credit to those who had had

churches.
