WITH THE AFTERNOON FROCK
Two Designs, Either One OF Which
Makes Most Effective Addi-
ton to Costume.

An attractive wide lace collar used
on an afternoon dress had pointed
front with the opening in the back
and all around the edge there was
frill of lace. The heavy part was
combination of embroidery, with in
sets of lace, and was effectively worn
over a soft rose silk princess. 1t was
an extremely girlish dress and would
be an excellent model to follow IN
planning part of the debutante's
or young girls wardrobe.
Another design with quite lot of
lace on it presented jacket style,
The new era., 1909-12-23

with the back going down in point
and ending under sash. The lace
part fitted the figure closely and
where it was cut out in a square at
the neck to show a guimpe it was
edged with a narrow band of fur.
There was fur also on the lower edge
of the jacket. while a wide band oi
it was introduced horizontally in the
skirt just below the knees. This was
interrupted at intervals by long
straight folds of the material sug
gesting plaits which extended from
under the lace jacket to the bottom OF
the skirt. Skunk makes an effective
and comparatively cheap trimming for
this model, and any of the foxes is
suited to this purpose

Celery may be grown on any soil
from sand to clay, provided other con-
ditions are made right. Success is
largely matter of fertility and mois-
ture. Fertility is maintained by the
use of cover crops, mine manure. and
commercial fertilizers, writes Paul
Work in Rural New Yorker. Crimson
clover and rye are the standard hum
us-making crops, with the latter pre-
ferred The clover is of value as a
nitrogen gatherer. but unless it can be
sown earlier than is possible on high
priced and intensively farmed land,
the gain does not cover the extra cost
of seed Rye has the advantage of a
greater bulk of humus and an assured
stand.
Seed for the early crop should be
sown in flats about March 1. Earlier
sowings show a marked tendency to
run to seed, and there is little advant-
age in marketing before August 1.

GRASS RUNS FOR CHICKENS

OF course, in estimating the sur
face required for a given number Of
fowls a great deal depends upon the
luxuriance of growth of the plants.
The soil must be well prepared and
rich, the runs must be located to re-
ceive ample sunlight. In event of a
protracted drought they must be wa
tered with hose, and lastly the seed
must be sown thickly. The hens walk

Educate Collie Pups.

The Collie pup, like the child, must
be thoroughly educated. A child that
is not educated is simply back num-
Der and has no standing in the better
society circles. so the Scotch Collie
that is not educated up in the proper
lines is little benefit to his master.
The Scotch Collie is almost, if not al

Disadvantage of GILT.

A gilt will usually farrow about as
many pigs as an aged SOW, but she is
usually not more than half-grown and
not in proper condition to farrow, SO
her pigs come much smaller and she
has developed no motherly instinct or
milk flow; consequently it is about
two weeks before her pigs get to

EXPLOSIVES.

The Lenox fire horror leaves no
doubt that criminal negligence of high
explosives and inhammable fluids is
more common than we think, and that
the laws regulating such matters ought
to be more thoroughly honored by the
business men who deal in them. The
facts show that in this case there was
gunpowder, dynamite, cartridges, tur-
pentine and oils occupying the base
ment of a structure, and sleeping per-
sons occupying the upper floors.
The Springfield Republican, COM
menting upon this matter. says: State
law in Massachusetts has something
to say about the carriage and storage
Of explosives, but for the most part
the matter of regulation is left TO the
town and city governments. And those
governments in this state are better
known for their neglects than their
precautions in relation to the handling
and care OF such substances. Per
haps our own city might be cited in
illustration. Very clearly Lenox may
be. Compare some Of the British reg
ulations with what Is revealed by this
Berkshire calamity. Gunpowder up to
200 pounds must be kept in a hreproof
safe away from houses and public
places, or in a detached building used
exclusively for this purpose. If kept
in a dwelling house it cannot exceed
SO pounds in amount unless placed
in a freproof safe when the amount
may go as high as 100 pounds. In no
case may other explosives or highly
inhammable substances be kept in the
same freproof safe with gunpowder,
or otherwise than at a safe distance;
and the storage and sale Of gunpowder
in a mix-up with other articles not
explosive or highly combustible are
carefully guarded against"
The loss of life in this case appears
to be attributable to the explosives
in the building, and it is not surpris-
ing that The Republican asks:
Does responsibility lie with the
town, or is it to be more closely in
dividuallzed

HOW THEY TALK IN TOLEDO.

The cities that depend upon high
winds to sweep their streets usually
have busy doctors and full hospitals.
This is what the Toledo Blade has
to say Of municipal spring cleaning:
1T is not too early to begin to think
about the municipal housecleaning. It
is well to entertain such an idea over
many days that its dread be lessened
and its goodnesses rise to the top like

They say there that it is obeying a
springtime law to clean up and per-
forming a civic duty. Here in the east

A QUESTION OF TASTE.

Mrs. Boyle. who kidnapped the
Whitla boy, does not like to be called
in print "a vulgar person." and pro-
tests against it, for she has been given
a good education Of the head if it did
not seem to affect her heart, which
seems to be as blacka heart as wo-
man could possess. A contemporary
thinks that she would prefer to be
referred to as the Queen Of Kid
nappers," that high sounding title
which invests the basest of crimes
with a glamor in the eyes of the peo-
pie and caters to criminal vanity
would be very much NOSE pleasing to
her, and t. all criminals of her class,
and this is one Of the best reasons
why this peculiar distinction should
not be paid to them. The ordinary,
so-called vulgar person" would have
just reason to protest IL they were
classed with such a creature, for they
are not entirely devoid of heart and
responsibility 1t is an encouragement
to criminals to give them the pictorial
notoriety which they crave, and which
too many papers appear to like to ca
ter to.
