An Old Friend In TRIMMING.

Some of us remember as far back
as 25 years ago when 'rose-ruch" trim
ming was used on cloth and silk
gowns. This trimming was made of
silk. raveled out two inches at the
edge. and double box-plaited in ruche
fashion. It-was used to edge sleeves,
overskirts and the fronts of bodices.
Now the rose-ruche is back under
splendid auspices, for it is introduced
by Doeuillet, a famous Paris dress
maker-and back it comes on an old
timey polonaise at that. This straight
gown is trimmed at sleeve edge with
silk ruche trimming frayed out in the
old style fashion, and there is no 9th
er trimming on the gown except the
long row of buttons from neck to
hem.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS ON GOWNS.
Caprice Of Fashion by No Means
Pleasing to Florists.

Never was there such craze for
artificial blooms for evening as we'll
as street wear. All the big shops now
have special flower counters, where in
glass vases and other receptaeles are
displayed make-believe roses. violets.
orchids, gardenias and other blossoms
high in fashions favor at the moment.
And so natural are these flowers-es-
pecially when sprayed with perfume
derived from the real flower scents
that it seems really a pity to spend
pennies for posies that would faue.
OF course, all the florists are tearing
their hair at this eccentric notion of
wearing fake flowers and in conse-
quence the lover of real flowers may
possess them in generous quantities at
delightfully."- little cost.
The pale lavender satin gown with
bands of amethyst and pearl embroid-
cry has artificial flowers in pale and
deep mauve shades fastened TO the
corsage and also caught to the skirt
at the knee. This gown shows the
new one sided effect, tunic edged
with the amethyst and pearl banding
opening over trailing petticoat of the
satin.

Commenting on these two RECORDS
touching the comparative value Of the
two cows, the Farm and Dairy of Can
ada says:
1t will be noticed that one COW gave
practically just double the amount OF
milk in seven months that the other
COW did. Does this indicate that she is
worth just twice as much? BY some
IL will be claimed that Is worth more
than twice as much because she did
not eat twice as much as the second
COW, although she gave twice as much
milk
When, however, we look at the profit
of the one cow compared with the
profit of the other, we find that the
first cow gave five times as great a
profit as the second COW. Does this
mean that she is worth five times as
much? If 1t does not, then how much
more is the first cow worth than the
second COW?
These figures all go to show that
the main profit in keeping cows lies in
the amount of milk they can be in
duced TO give above the actual cost of
feed. The greater amount of milk the
COW gives above the cost of feed, the
greater is the proportion of clear
profit in handling her. In the case of
the second COW here referred to. 1t
will be noticed that while the first
cow give twice as much milk as the
second SOW. she yielded five times the
profit. This was because once the cost
of feed had been deducted, all the
milk she produced above the cost of
her feed represented clear profit. For
instance, it is infinitely more costly
to keep five cows, each yielding a
profit of $500, than it is to keep one
that alone gives profit of $34.90. By
keeping one COW instead of five, the
feed of four COWS is saved as well as
the labor of milking and attending to
them, and the space they occupy in
the stables.
