MUST BE PERFECT
ONE-PlECE GUIMPE AND SLEEVE
HARD TO FASHION,.
Delightfully."- Becoming When Well
Made, But Easily Spoiled If Ar
tistry Is Not Bestowed
on 1t.

Although there is nothing more diff
icult of attainment by an unskilled
modiste than the arrangement of a
one-piece guimpe and sleeve, fashion
continues to advocate this style of
dress, probably for the very reason
it has proved more or less impossible
for the great majority. No fashion is
more delightfully."- becoming when it is
correctly carried out, and none more
to be avoided when there is doubt of
the perfection of the artistry to be
expended upon it. AS shown in our

EmolIient for the Hands.

One of the best emollients for the
ands, which should be used during
he cold days of winter, is that of
oney and oatmeal. Curious as the
combination appears, it is an old-fash-
oned remedy, which was once strong
believed in, the meal acting as an
efficient cleanser in addition to it's
;oftening qualities. To make a ball
f the two ingredients, which can be
ubbed over the back of the hands, it
usually necessary to add little
olive oil, while a few drops of rose
water, or, if a still more distinct per-
fume is desired, oil of geranium or at
tar of roses, give it a delicate fra

Use for Old Gown,
GRANGE.

Many an old-fashioned satin evening
gown is lying by considered hopeless,
yet such a frock has wondrous posi-
bilities. 1t will probably have a per-
fectly plain skirt, with or without a
train. Anyway, it will be only the right
length in the front, so as to bring it
up to date. Cut the skirt off a foot
above the hem and insert deep band
of filet lace.
This will make it possible to bring
the skirt above the waist line. The old
fashioned waist will provide sufficient
material for draping a blouse or filet
net or lace.
The Winslow mail., 1909-01-23

Illustration the fabric to be used is
also of paramount Importance in de-
termining whether the guimpe is to
be made with seamless shoulders or
not. A delicate lace, figured net chif-
fon and similar fabrics are suitable
for the seamless fabrics and sleeve,
but stiff fabric, even a heavy lace
which does not drape well, is disap-
pointing for this purpose, no matter
how beautiful in quality or design A
tight, hard effect over the shoulders
is entirely out of place with this shape
bodice. When properly carried out
the high-waisted empire frock is more
graceful in effect when completed with
this sort of draped bodice than with
any other. The dropping effect which
it gives to the shoulders is particular
ly harmonious with the empire lines.

Fortunate Foreigners.

THE money collected by be-
nevolent persons in the United
States for foreign missions runs
yearly into millions of dollars,
but it is mere pittance in COM
passion with the discount made
foreigners who buy our protect
ed wares. We sell them tools
from 20 to 100 per cent less
than the prices exacted from
home purchasers. Saws are sold
for export at 40 percent. reduc-
ton from domestic rates. We
put the screws to home buyers
of screws by asking them 100
per cent more than the export
price. And so it goes through
the whole range of protected
manufactured. o f course the
American consumer should, in
fairness, pay no more for what
he buys than is demanded of
outside consumers; but he can
not help himself, He staggers
along as best he can under the
weight of tariff exactions i'm
posed by act of Congress for the
sole benefit Of the favored.

For tie Farmer.

Those hens with the best ap-
petites and the full crops are US
ually the best layers, but they
should not be permitted to get
too fat.
Deep, rich soil, of an alluvial
nature, soil which contains plen-
ty of humus, is excellent for
planting small fruits.
1t goes without saying that
every farmer should keep enough
poultry to supply his own needs.
Further than that it depends up
on his convenience to market.
What is good hen? One that
lays $50 eggs year is good.
One that lays 200 is among the
very best. The average farm
hen probably lays 100 eggs a
year.
No fruit should be allowed to
GO to waste as long as there is a
possibility of making cider, vim
egar and unfermented grape
Juice.
Our orchards are largely what
we make them. Good cultiva-
ton, tender care and knowledge
of conditions make for success
in fruit growing.

Skinned milk is worth about
fifteen cents a hundred pounds
to feed to pigs from weaving uI

The old-time spring house is nc
longer an indispensable factor in
farm butter muking. The sep
arator has made it necessary in
most cases.
Butter should come granular if
it is to be of high grade. Butter
which comes pasty is never of

An occasional pinch of salt
peter mixed with the salt given
work horses during hot weather
will be found beneficial-it is
cooling and will keep their kid
neys active.
The old-fashioned dashed churn
has now gone into disuse except
for very small amounts of cream.
Barrel and power churns are
easier to handle and give more
satisfactory results.
A good article deserves an
attractive package. The differ

nicely lined with paraffin paper.
Usually the home butter maker
can sell his product to better adj
vantage in pound cakes.

Separate schools for tubercular

The new school code specifically
prescribes that children suffering
from tuberculosis cannot be adj
mitted into the public schools and
at the same time provides for
the compulsory attendance 0 f
all children between the ages Of
six and sixteen years. 1t is the
opinion of the educational officials
