This may be of the dress material or
of the sheer fabric used for the collar
and front of the gown.
When built of thin white or flow
cred summer cotton fabrics the en-
belished portions of the gown may be
cut out of all-over embroidery or lace
and supplied by edgings and flounc-
ings to match.
Striped linen is used in making up
the gown shown in the illustration on
the right. A combination Of plain and
striped linen would also be most eff
fective In this model, while silk, in the
same plan, would also serve charm
ingly.
The coat is built to fasten at one
side under panel front, in each of
which is inserted along the middle a
piece of trimming material. A semi
fitted effect is given the garment by
means Of narrow plaits or pin tucks
that extend from below the bust
down and emphasize short-waisted
appearance. A babyish round collar
is edged with trimming, which may
be eithes striped material OF tuck
ing, similar. to that used upon the
coat panel. Large buttons decorate
each shoulder and also the sleeve cuff
and straps around the upper arm.
Perhaps the most striking feature in
the gown is its prtty sleeve. This
is mousquetaire, of three-quarter
length, and shows, below 1t, fitted
cuff of lace or such embroidered ma
terial as may be selected to trim the
dress with A plated skirt. made
walking length, completes an efrec-
tive costume, which might be made
up attractively in any cotton, linen,
silk or thin wool goods suitable for
dress to be worn in the forenoon.
With this costume is shown a BASIN
shaped hat with flowers around the
crown and big loops of soft ribbon
hanging over the back.
Linen is an admirable material in
which to build the model shown. 1t is
a style equally adapted to light wool
and silk fabrics.-Boston Herald.

The development and extension of
truck farming in the Atlantic coast
states has been coincident with the
development of transportation facili-
ties throughout that section. The
phenomenal growth of the great con.
suming centers of the country has
stimulated a corresponding growth
and extension of the food-producing
territory. especially of that capable
OF producing perishable truck crops.
Transportation facilities, together
with cheap labor and cheap lands at
the south. have made 1t possible to
produce products out Of season at the
north in competition with greenhouse
products.
The first development of truck farm
Ing. as we now recognize 1t, as dis
tinguished from market gardening,
took place about Norfolk, Va, and
Charleston, s. G. Both of these places
were provided with steamship connec-
tions to northern ports before rapid
railway transportation became q fea-
ture in the moving of perishable
products and as a result of these ad-
vantanges for reaching the markets
these two ports became important
truck-producing centers for supplying
the northern trade.
Besides these advantages, the pecu-
liar geographic formation of the terri
tory Immediately surrounding Norfolk
gives 1t winter climate characteristic
of sections many miles southwark.
The fact that the coast line of the
United States at this particular point
is very broken. together with the prox-
unity of the Gulf stream. gives this
area winter climate which enables
it to produce some of the standard

At the north the crop is of very
different character. both In variety
and in the method of its cultivation.
The great bulk of the northern-grown
cabbage may be considered as a
truck-crop feature of the general farm
ing In sections where the industry has
gained foothold. The cabbage crop
takes a regular place In the farm ro-
tation in those communities where the
industry has become a permanent
feature. In some sections 1t forms the
chief money crop of the fall season,
occupying a position similar to that
held by potatoes In other sections.
This great crop is measured by
thousands of acres and millions of
tons. At harvest time. in October and
November. it is shipped to the great
consuming centers In bulk In carload
lots. 1t is stored by thousands OF
tons In specially constructed ware
houses. to be sent out as the demands
of the market will justify during the
winter season. 1t is also manufactured
into sauerkraut. which finds its way
to the great cities as rapidly as there
is a demand for 1t. A sauerkraut fac
tory with wagons filed with cabbages
is shown In Fig. 2.
Besides the staple market-garden
crops of the north which are now ex-
tensively grown as truck crops
throughout the South Atlantic coast
region. there are crops which are
more or less peculiar to certain To-
calities. AS illustrations, the water

garden crops without protection and
many OF the more tender crops with
only slight protection during the win
ter months. The islands on the coast
of South Carolina, in the vicinity of
Charleston. are so protected by the
warm currents and by the atmosphere
of the sea that orange trees are grown
successfully in the open, and In some
favorable seasons are known to pro-
duce fruit. 1t is therefore possible to
grow the harder truck crops in the
open and the more tender ones with
very slight protection during the win
ter.
The advantages of the Norfolk re-
gion for truck work appealed to a
Jerseyman by the name OF Hugh
Bates. who went to this section about
1910. Naturally he followed the prac-
tees of his home people of New Jer-
sey In the new territory, and, while
he found some of his precautions un.
necessary. his work on the whole was
successful. He was followed later by
other growers from the same terri
tory.
It was not until 30 years later that
the first all-rail shipments of truck
were made from this territory. Rail-
ways began carrying the products
from Norfolk to northern markets in
1885, and from Charleston in 1888.
The methods employed to adapt
cabbage to the requirements of the
market and to the different areas In
the trucking region are distinct and
each forms a chapter in the cultural
history of this important truck crop.

Is one of the most difficult the people
have to contend with.
Water frequently has to be trans
ported long distances from the Rio
Grande. Where the country is noun
famous and rough water carts cannot
be used, and the water is carried in
water bags which fit over the back
OF a horse. These bags are evenly
balanced on the back of the horse. and
carry from ten to twelve gallons when
filled. They are in general use among
the Mexicans of the border. A slit
in each side of the bag near the top
affords place for pouring In and
emptying the water The bags are
made of stout canvas, and the cloth
fits close around the tunnels. which
fit into the openings. These open
ings are closed by means OF stop
pers. 1t is common sight to see
dozen or more of these water pack
horses in single train. vending their
way to or from the river in charge OF

N AINTY, dazzling, delicious, such
are the creations which Dame
Fashion has introduced for the
summer of 1909.
To accommodate the clinging,
sIinky. foppy styles now in vogue,
materials are all of a kind calculated
to fall in soft folds and drape in folds
known as Classic" and which are
purely Partisan, and as much su-
perior to classic folds as the smart
Paris gown is to the cumbersome
toga, writes Marie de Montaigne.
Sheer white embroidered robes are
features of this and the coming sea-
son, and these are distinguished for
the delicacy and exquisite workman
ship of the embroidery. This, in the
better class of machine-made en-
broidery, rivals hand work in beauty.
and only an adept or the person who
paid the bills could tell the difference
between them.
Our first illustration shows an ad-
mirable design in the latest mode for
our warm season. 1t is a gown that
may be made up in wide variety of
materials, from cloth to chiffon, or
linen to null. A gorgeous dinner
gown could be created by making the
guimpe and stock; the full drawn
puff across the front between the en-
pire band and sash, and the sleeves
of silver tissue with gown of thin
blue satin; or of gold tissue with any
kind of black evening material. In
the first case the empire bolero with

edge of overskirt and bottom of skirt
would be embroidered or braided in
silver. In the next instance the black
gown would be embroidered in gold.
To make an afternoon gown of this
model use soft silk or satin, and work
an elaborate pattern of hand-em-
broidery or soutache braid over the
broad part of the bodice, which Is
formed somewhat on the bolero order
in regard to brevity, and which serves
to support the skirt by means Of two
broad, embroidered straps which are
buttoned to the top of the sash. OF
course, the strap is usually sewed
firmly to the sash, but it is quite pos
sible to fasten it on the button ano
with a concealed hook and eye in each
corner. 1ulS WOuiu peruliL ouo "

The overskirt is looped in upward
folds on each side, and IL embroid-
cred to harmonic with the design
used upon the bodice. This begins
in a tiny scallop high up the front Of
the overskirt, and increases in the
size of scallops towards the bottom.
Buttons or button effects are set in
each scallop Usually these are of
raised embroidery, beginning with a
mere dot and growing to quite large
disc lower down on the overskirt
Upon the skirt is repeated another
harmonizing embroidery or braid de-
sign that extends around the bottom
on and above the hem and straggles
up charmingly into an irregular point
upon the front of the skirt.
The bottom of the skirt lies on the
floor in full, foppy folds all around
and has a slight trail in the back.
Between the embroidered bolero
sleeves and cuff is plain sleeve, fit-
ted and buttoned down the outer side.
