Retaining The Land.

Charlotte observer
The farmers living alongClark's
creek in Lincoln and Catawba
counties have solved the problem
of retaining the bottom lands
at a cost which makes it profitable
to do so. Mention was made in
The Observer a few days ago OF
the undertaking of those farmers
to canal the creek by means Of
dredge boat. The work has pro-
crossed sufficiently to prove it to
be a success. Mr.. r NJ. Roseman
who spent a day inspecting the
machines work, tells The Lin
colnton News that in day the
dredge cut a section of the canal
nearly $50 feet long, with width
Of Is and depth of 9 feet. The
work is. done with dispatch and
at small cost in proportion to the
benefit secured. The men who
devised this plan and have dem
onstrated its practicability are
the pioneers in the work of re-
claiming thousands OF acres OF
fine bottom iards in this section
of the State at q cost which will
make the impr, vement possible
to the landowners, thus adding
immensely to the value Ct me
farms and bringing under cult
walton much land which it is now
u
! impossible ~ cui1.!Nte and which
would cost 100 r1uci to drain n
the ordinary manner.

A New Bonnet Party.

A hostess sent invitations to 20 of
her friends asking them to see an ex-
hibition of imported French millinery
at her home on the date specified. On
the top of the invitation was a tiny
figure in perfectly enormous hat.
Every one wondered what they were
to find and awaited the day with keen
curiosity. They were not disappointed,
for the large living room was ar
ranged like millinery shop; a pretty
maid in cap with long ribbon bow
and beruflled apron fluttered about
speaking broken English with
charming French accent, and the
hostess was in trailing gown of I'M
mistakable French manufacture
Around the room on hat forms were
Understandable head coverings, made
from waste-paper baskets, chopping
bowls, colanders, bread pans, etc.
The trimming consisted of lemons
ears of corn, sunflowers, caulifower
hollyhocks, combined with gay feath-
er busters, turkey quilts, and even
birds nests had been pressed into
service. The guests went into gales
of laughter as they tried on the bur-
lesque creations. The maid exclaimed
Isl charmante, madame" in the most
approved manner.
The dearest little hats made of
crepe tissue paper held sailed nuts
when refreshments were served by
maids in French costumes. The hos

A House Party.

Invitations to this party were sent
out on postcards on which there was
a snapshot of the hostess new home.
1t was a delightful affair, with unique
touches that a clever entertainer al
ways contrives to give her little par
ties. no matter how informal.
After the dozen chosen friends had
arrived and duly admired the coy
porch with it's furnishings of green,
the maid appeared with cold beverages,
which the hostess poured; then she
told them she wanted their very best
ideas regarding house building; that
for the two best plans there were
prizes.
Paper and pencils were passed and
a half hour allotted for the architects
to turn in their creations. The result
was delightful. Each one was allowed
five minutes to explain the merits of
her plan. Some remarkably clever
ideas were developed and much I'M
suspected talent revealed. The prizes
were subscriptions to well-known mag
azines devoted to household affairs,
and the favors were tiny wooden Jap
anese houses filled with bonbons. For
refreshments there were canteloupes
filled with New York ice cream, iced
tea and dainty English biscuit.
In a week or two this same hostess
will entertain the same people, and
they will furnish" the houses planned
at this party.
1t may be readily seen how delight
full this exchange of ideas is and how
alert it keeps one in observing the
best arrangement of all rooms. The
making of a real home should be the
highest aim of every woman. By
that, / mean home where the needs
of each individual are looked out for
with the best effect possible.

A Basket Shower.

Did you ever happen to think how
many varieties of baskets there are?
never did until my attention was
called to the fact by a novel basket
shower given for a September bride.
to-be.
The hostess asked each guest to
bring a basket of some description.
AS the "a guests were all intimate
friends they consulted among them
selves, so the selections made did
not include duplicates. There was a
stunning brown Wistaria waste bas-
ket; one of same weave to hold fruit;
a market basket made by a Dutch
peasant; clothes basket; tiny COW
cred basket to hold a thimble. This
was IN round work basket, that also
had a scissors shield woven to match.
There was a clothes hamper, and a
cunning covered basket with a handle,
just large enough to hold lunch for
two.
To go with these baskets there was
a tea or coffee rest woven of sweet
grass to use when serving on the
porch, and quaint wall holders in
which a tumbler could be inserted to
hold wild flowers. The honored guest
was perfectly delighted with this
shower, for it turned out that baskets
was one of her hobbies. BY the way,
lately have found so many people
basket crazy, some of the younger
women actually taking lessons of the
Indians who come to summer resorts
selling the pretty creations they have
made during the long winter months
on the reservations.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
