TRIUMPH OF ART
New Gown the MAS
&@TPi@G@ Of the Fore
most ParfsiaD.

zimmerman. who was the creator of
the transformation gown of last win
Ter is again to the fore with a similar
costume for summer, which is. if any
thlng, more fascinating than the first
AZ is practical, too, and Just the thing
Tor afternoon visits, teas or any func-
uon where a pretty toilet is desired,
ana yet wrap is necessity. 1t can
De made in any material that is soft
and viii hang in graceful folds, such
as charmeuse, liberty satin, crepe de
chlhe' or toile de ninon, than which
hothlng Is more delightful to wear.
Inc model gown was of the latter,
and in color that is neither rose or
mauve. 1t was cut like a princess
Tooe, close fitting about the hips, and
with some fulness around the bottom.
Here 1t was finished with heavy cords
Oh the same material, which gave
weight to the skirt and took away the
absolutely plain look. The lower part
OF the tightly fitted sleeves was of dull
silver lace and so was the short high
yoke. A little shoulder cape was fas-
tened in front with an arrangement of
cords, tassels and loops. An inch
wide trimming of loops and tassels to
match edged the cape, and also the
long sash ends which hung down over
the skirt in the back. This sash was
attached to the waist by some fine
shirrings, giving the long line that is
now the fashion.
When worn indoors it is a charming
gown, simple in style and with moth
ing about 1t to suggest that it might
serve two purposes. When, however,
II Is to be worn out of doors the little
cape suddenly becomes a wrap suf-
nclently ample to afford protection
and as coquettish as possible. 1t is
all done by simply taking the sash
ends and bringing them around over
the arms and to the waist in front
Here they are knotted and the ends
finished with balls, and cords are an
additional trimming. In the back the
wrap extends to the waist, where it is
held In place by shirring.
1t Is all cleverly contrived, for the
wrap can be adjusted in a moment
and without the slightest difficulty.
There Is no striving to see if ones
garment is straight in the back, for it
cannot possibly be anything else. The
hooks which fasten it in front are of
the kind that work themselves and
every fold falls into place with only
one or two slight movements of the
fingers. The astonishing part of the
gown also is that there is not one I'M
necessary inch of material in it, nor a
bit of fulness that could apparently be
dispensed with.

DETAILED PLANS FOR A
GOOD CONCRETE TROUGH
Any Farmer Can Watering for Livestock
by Following Instructions Given
By H s. Chamberlain.

A good watering trough is one of
the necessities on every farm. The
best OF wooden troughs are good
for only comparatively few years at
the farthest and the steel troughs,
even though galvanized, will in time
rust through and become worthless.
The ideal trough is one that is al
ways in good shape and one that does
not rot away like wood nor rust away
like steel. Such farm necessity can
be very readily constructed of con-
crete just as many other necessities
and convenienceS in the economy of
the farm may be, says writer in the
Farmers Review. The main feature
OF concrete watering trough is its
durability, point that appeals to all
farmers
Herewith is given a plan for
making durable and satisfactory
concrete watering trough. The first
essential in building such a
water holder for the use of live stock
is suitable foundation. An excava-
ton of at least three feet in depth
and little larger in area than the
dimensions Of the trough is needed to
prevent heaving of the structure by
frost in the winter. This opening is
then filled with cobble stones or grout.
pounded into place by means of a
heavy block of wood. Upon this
strong setting the concrete trough is
to be placed
The next step in the process is
making the mold for the trough. Only
good stout planks, free from knots
and planed on one side and on both
edges, should be used for this pur-
pose. The smooth sides of the planks

BINGHAM IS POPULAR FABRIC
Simple Frocks for Summer Wear, Says
Fashion, and the Edict Is
Well Liked.

This year the girl of moderate
means has ample opportunity to look
her best at the least possible cost, for
she may indulge in frocks of cheapest
gtngham, made very simply. These
always are the very best selection for
summer wear, and If they are made
up with an eye to utility as well as to
line, she will find that at all times
she is among the best of well-dressed
people. The beauty of the fashion is
that one may wear the plainest sort
of gowns with bias band of the same
around the line of the yoke and a bias
band to form the belt. This makes
all trimming unnecessary, and, as the
yoke itself is made of some tucked
batiste, you will see at a glance that
the dress will be very inexpensive. 1t
is not essential that the dress be
made in one piece-neither the prin-
cess nor the empire style. The shirt
waist suit with the belt of the material
will be very effective for the business
girl, and this is far easier to make
than the more elaborate one-piece
frock. The wise girl will choose sew
eral ginghams Of more, or less dark
color, and, If possible, each dress will
be made to open down the front, so
that when it is sent to the laundry
1t may be easily ironed.

''Uncle Joe" Practices Golf on the Slv

sad headshakes and wondering re-.
greet.
The education of Vice President
sherman in the points of the game so
well liked by the president is believed
70 nave set the precedent Uncle Joe"
feels called upon to follow. The
speaker had handled a golf club hut
once in his life previous to President
rats inauguration. That was at the
Portland exposition, when a bevy of
fair young women induced him to take
just one wallop at little white ball
as 1t rested invitingly on its tee. The
speakers secretary is authority that
the first drive was the longest ever
made by any golfer. Content with
having done something of note, Uncle
Joe, since then, has refused to smite
ball, fearing that he might foozle
frightfully.
The speaker never had much of a
desire for tennis under the Roosevelt
administration. In the first place he
couldn't learn how to score, and love
alP' and love forty were as mys.
FERROUS to him as some of Asher
Kinds parliamentary precedents. But
with golf it is different. He is well
equipped with the language of the
game, and if the vice-president is to
enter the Taft golf cabinet, why not
Uncle Joe?"

SCARF Is LIKED
NaDy Wear Tbem SO
Wide as to Re
s@n0bI@ a NaDtl@

There is no gainsaying the popu-
larity of the scarf. With both day
and evening costumes it is a promi-
nent feature, and there are many
new details of its use which point to
an even more extended vogue.
In the first place there is great va
riety. Scarfs are now shown in many
different materialS-in nets, embroid-
cred and plain, in chiffon, crepe, satin,
cashmere de sole and lace. They are
braided, embroidered, beaded, span
gled, printed in design and orna-
mented with hammered metal work
Not only do they how increasing
length and ornamen on but increas-
ing width also, says the Dry Goods
Economist, some of them being so
wide as to assume almost the form
of a mantle.
With day dress the scarf otter.
matches the hat, and with evening
costume may be Of the same material
as the dress. Both these points are
distinctly new and are indicative of
a far reaching vogue
Scarfs which match the dresses are
made of chiffon, satin and cashmere
de sole. A notable instance of match
ing scarf with evening costume was
seen in a debutante's toilet of pale
blue chiffon, with woven border of
broad satin stripes This border
formed the trimming and the wrap or
scarf was formed of a full width of
the chiffon, showing the border on
either side draped in bedouin cape
style and worn carelessly over the
shoulders throughout the evening.
Many Of the new scarfs are fringe
trimmed. Very beautiful are those
made of the coarse mesh nets of both
silk and metal trimmed with heavy
fringes made from lacet braid. Many
of the scarfs are draped in the bedouin
cape style at the back, the point being
weighted with tassel. This drapery
gives more graceful outline to the
scarf when worn and makes it more
becoming.
Other novelty forms show the scarf
shirred or plated in the center back,
where it is held in shape by a large
ornament of rich embroidery. The in
creased favor shown the hammered
metal scarf is very apparent Entire
evening nantes and coats are formed
of these set together in artistic de-
sign.

An Ideal Watering Trough.

are placed next to the concrete. The
following plan then should be fol-
lowed:
The outside dimensions are: Length,
feet; width, feet; height, 25 feet.
The lumber for the form must be
cut to accord with these measure
ments. At the corners of the mold
and also along the upper edges of the
uppermost planks triangular pieces of
wood must be placed so as to avoid
any sharp corners when the trough
is completed. This provision prevents
the chipping of the corners, SO COM
mon to sharp angular cement work
When the mold is in place, the sides
should be reinforced by two or three
pieces of 2x4 inch uprights at equi-
distant intervals. These uprights
should then be strongly braced to pre-
vent bullying out of the concrete while
it is being tamped into compactness
A brace at each end of the form will
be also necessary. This form Is
erected directly over the cobble stone
or grout foundation. When the mold
is in position the concrete mixture
consisting of one part cement, two
parts clean sand and four parts fine
gravel is shoveled in and tamped
down well in layers of at least six
inches in thickness until the mold
is half full. At this point in the
operation the inside form must be
placed for providing the water holding
space.
This inside form is also made of
lumber planned on one side and on
both edges with the smooth side out.
The part of the mold should be made
strong so as to resist inward pres
sure when the walls of the trough are
being shaped. The core mold should
have the following top dimensions:
Length. feet; width. feet; vertical
depth, LIS feet or Is inches Bottom
measurements: Length. feet; width,
IL inches. Thus it is seen that the
mold has dimensions providing for a

6-inch interior slope from the top of
the trough to the bottom. These slop-
ing walls are to guard against rup-
ture in case water should freeze in
the holder during cold weather.
This interior mold must be fixed
carefully in such a position that its
upper edges will be just six inches
from the top edges of the outside
form. Cross pieces are nailed across
the entire width of the form to hold
the inner form in position. The ce-
ment concrete may now be filled into
the spaces between the wall of the
molds and carefully tamped into
compact mass. The top of the con-
crete wall may be finished off with
layer 1 inch thick from a mixture
of part cement and l part sand and
smoothed of with a trowel. This will
give q harder coating to the upper

it 80 that there will be an angle of a
little more than 80 degrees between
the two parts, one part being about
two feet long. In constructing the
base this pipe is embedded in the
concrete at convenient place SO that
the long end of the same projects
about six inches beyond the walls of
the trough. Allow the shorter end to
project an inch above the bottom of
the trough. Have a care that the
lower end of the pipe is several
inches lower than the bend OF the
pipe so as to insure the perfect
drainage of both pipe and trough.
The concrete hardening around the
pipe will make the union of the two
water tight. After the concrete has
set the projecting end of the pipe in
the trough may be cut off near the
bottom surface of the trough and
then the bore may be slightly en-
larged by means of a wooden conc.
The edges of the pipe should be fat
tened down with hammer to let the
water flow out more readily A wood
en- plug is inserted IN the open end
Of the pipe in the bottom of the wa
ter holder to retain the water. The
water from this outlet should be led
away through special drain tile. This
precaution is imperative if the trough
is to be properly cared for.
The dimensions of the herein de-
scribed trough may be cut down or
added to. to suit the wishes and de-
mands of the farmer thinking of con,
structing this farm necessity.
