PART II.

Slender womens difficulties seem
slight as regards the application Of
this seasons styles to themselves. In
the first place, if you are tall as Wei
as slight, do not try to disguise the
fact by standing badly and carrying
your shoulders in a bent and rounding
position. There is nothing more dis
figuring and the most perfect dressing
will not disguise any such fatal mis-
take If a woman is tall, holds her
self we'll and cultivates grace of move
ment. the effect is decidedly pleasing.
The present seasons styles need not
present any difficulties in choosing
what will be becoming. Yokes in
waists especially square ones, will be
becoming Horizontal tucks and trim
ming giving wide shoulder effects will
help 10 broaden and diminish the ap-
psarance of height.
There is one place where up and
down tueks are correct on a tall wom-
an. In a blouse, vertical tucks, the
stitching going only to a yoke depth,
are adj right, for the fullness left be-
low add breadth. A blouse should
always be cut to give as much breadth
as possible across the chest and
shoulders.
Beauty and correctness of lines are
just as essential to the tall woman as
to the short one. The moyen age styles
tend to lessen the heighth, and one
good example of this fashion is shown
with the princess upper part extend
ing we'll below the hips and fitting in
easily and well to the figure, although
close, tight fitting is avoided The
natural waist line is shown, end the
lower part of the gown consists Of
a side-plaited skirt portion, and plaits
are almost universally becoming.
An attractive afternoon gown, of one
of the soft silks, is shown, which will
be particularly becoming to the tall,
slender type. The skirt is. cut circular,
is plain, and ends in a slight train. The
overskirt is finished little about the
hemmed edge with a lace insertion,
put on in two rows and to the lower
edge of each row a tiny ruffle, not
over an inch wide, of the dress ma
terial is attached
A slightly raised waist line, covered
by a soft sash with long ends, and a
simple blouse, showing a slightly low
neck and short sleeves; and the blouse
decoration consisting simply of three
rows of the same kind of trimming as
that On the overskirt, completes this
simple and yet lovely gown. The trim
ming is applied to the back of the
blouse the same as on the front.
Another pretty style of gown, suit
able for any soft, light material,
from a muslin or net to a wolfe, or soft
silk, shows the regulation princess
top, with square yoke, finished with
q narrow putting of the dress material.
The sleeves have the top part of the
dress material, and to this is set in,
with several rows of shirring, a lower
part of the same material as the yoke
and this, again, is set into narrow,
tight fitting cuff of the dress material.
The skirt portion of the dress is
finished with a deep hem and two tucks
around the bottom, each one and one
half inches in width, and the material
is set cut in straight breadths. This
skirt portion is set onto the upper

One gown recently seen which would
adapt itself especially well to tall,
slender figure was made of white tus-
sor with touches of a delicate green.
The latter joined the white at the
height of the knees under a band OF
green velvet. The folded white cor
sage had bands of the velvet and there
were straight cuffs of it on the tight
sleeves, which were short and over

and wearing a large hat, the principal
trimming of which was formed of
loose folds of black velvet, was pleas
ing, but would be quite the reverse
on the opposite style of figure.
. The two-piece sleeve presents
problem to many home sewers, and as
for really knowing the correct meth
Cd of putting the seams together, they
do not; and there are nine chances out
of ten that when the sleeves are worn
they will persist in twisting, SO that
TIN inside seam, instead of staying
where it belongs, creeps up over the
top of the arm. Of course there are
many ways of trimming, setting III
panels, etc, il. these sleeves, and this
should be done by first marking off
the position of these different designs
on the pattern, then making the ma
terials to correspond.
The first step is in laying the two
piece of the pattern on the material
correctly. The upper or larger portion
is first laid on so that the outside seam
from the elbow up is on the straight
of the cloth; then, holding it in place
at the top, swing the pattern in at the
elbow so that the outside seam at the
elbow point is three-quarters of an
inch towards the front, instead of be-
ing straight up and down as wfen it
was laid on at first.
Look at any we'll made, two-piece
sleeve and you will readily perceive
that the grain of the cloth is the same
on both under and upper parts at the

ing back a corner of the upper or larg-
er sleeve portion at the hand end of
the inside seam and creasing it so that
it runs with the straight of the cloth,
and then laying the under sleeve por-
ton on the upper SO, that the inside
seams are resting over one another,
and then creasing the smaller portion
the same as the upper, it is an easy
matter to tell how to lay the smaller
sleeve portion on the cloth. Simply
lay it ON so that the crease made is
on the straight of the cloth.

''Extry, extry," and looked about to
see where all the noise was coming
from, says an exchange.
Across the street they spied one
very small newsboy shouting with
all his might.

boys attention, called him to her
and bought paper; then, as she
dropped the pennies into the little

Clemson VIII Teach Cotton
Grading.
Special to The State:

Special to The State:
Clemson College, Dec. ls.-Be-
ginning January 4, Clemson college
will offer to the farmers of South
Carolina course in cotton grading,
which will continue six weeks.
1.-THE work will be given in the
carding and spinning division of
the textile department by Prof. d.
E. Earle, who has had considerable
experience as olassifier and also
as collaboration with the United
States department of agriculture in,
preparing the standard government
cotton lypes that are to be sent out
to the markets in the near future.
All of the important cottons OF the
world are studied, but most of the
practice is with the various varie-
ties grown in the United States, and
especially those grown in South
Carolina. Con slant practice is given
with q full line OF samples, the pre-
nliums and penalties being explained
for each grade. 5
II is the purpose of the course to
point out to the farmer the defects
which would lower the grade of his
cotton and how some of them may
be- avoided, thereby increasing the
market value of his cotton. Ginning,
baling and the various methods Of
averaging lot of cotton fora basis
price are discussed. Elementary
bookkeeping and warehouse ac-
counting are also included IL: the
course.

The Value of One Good Mare.

The value of a good breeding
animal on the farm can scarcely be
over-estimated. There is an ordinary
looking mare near the writer's home
that during 10 years has produced
eight colts. -Four Of these colts have
been sold for s765, and the ether
four, which the breeder still owns
are valued at 5000, making a tota
of s1,365 worth of colts in 10 years
During all these years this old gat
ron has earned her own keep by
doing regular work and is again in

mares on the farm the boil weeyil

Agricultural Reading a. Guide
Post to Better Farming.

Does anyone really doubt it, we
wonder. If so, it is surely because
he has not observed very closely.
Some farmers there may be who
read and fail to profit by what they
readAsome, because they decide
that tits s@snotpractical, 2 and Others,
because. they, spend all their time in
theoriiiziing Over what TREY read
SO have no time to put it into prac-
tice. And there may be, here and
there, fairly successful farmers who
do no reading at all about their
work; but they are very rare. The
average farmer who does not read
agricultural books and farm papers
is a pretty poor sort of farmer
not at all the man whom one would
look to for leadership or hold up as
an example to emulate. He Is usual
ly a man who is content to go along
in the old ways, and who makes lit
tie progress as the years go by.
The man who, through his read
ing, can profit by the experiences
and advice of others, has a tremen-
dous advantage that constantly
grows greater. This is why We urge
all our folks to read all they can
along the lines of farm work; and
why we would now especially urge
them to take up for the long winter
evenings some systematic course of
reading. No man who does this,
using his mind as he reads, weigh
ing and considering and applying to
his own conditions what he reads,
can fail to be benefited by it..
Why not form a neighborhood
club Of formers for some such course
Of study this winter: 1t will not
only be pleasant way of spending
the evenings, but it will mean better
crops next year, better farms and
better farmers.
Don't be afraid you will learn too
much about farming. MI of us have
much to learn yet; and it is the far
mer who reads, and thinks as he
reads, who is going to do the best
farming and help most. in making
farm life what it should be.-Ra-
