A Cure For Nerves,

The "neryy' girl will find that an
hour's sewing is wonderful nerve
sOother. She can sew in all her little
irritations, her fancied injuries, and
generally become her normal self
again when she has finished long
seam.
One of the most neurotic and ex-
stable women, the famous George
sand, wrote in praise of the soothing
powers of needlework, and every girl
who tries this simple remedy for
nerves will doubtless confirm her tes-
timony.-Iome Notes.

Artificial Flowers.

The fad of wearing artificial flowers
as corsage bouquet is beginning to
find favor on this side of the water
These flowers are most natural-look-
ing and perfumed so it really is a
difficult matter to tell the natural
from the artificial. Especially is this
true of the violet bouquets, which
come in generous punches with stems
wrapped in tinfoil Then there are
orchids, lilies-of-the-valley, gardenias
and sweet peas. The larger flowers
can be bought in single blossom
and the smaller ones in tiny punches,
or large bouquets of one kind of
flower.

blue, rose pink and pompadour shad-

a round or oval bottom and the upper
finish is an ample beading. drawn to-
gether with narrow ribbon velvets,
which are far richer than ribbons.

pailu Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H., June 3.-Wheat-
Weather map showed some rain in the
northwest, but not the heavy rainfall
that is needed. Temperatures are
still low enough to seriously retard
maturity OF the new crop. Although
Hessian fly reports have been numer-
Gus, crop reports have been more fav-
orable. We anticipate further heavy
raiding by the Armour, Lichentein in
terest in an effort to dislodge weaken
ed holders We believe the market is
on debatable ground. The bears are
sufficiently cautious to confine their
pounding operations to the September
delivery. The short side of July is
dangerous if the market becomes over
sold.
Corn-Weatder conditions still UNI
seasonable for the new crop Replant-
ing complaints numerous. Poor germ
nation resulting from bad weather
and bad seed is general complaint.
1t is very doubtful whether full
acreage of corn can be put III this
year. Old corn will be held back I'M
til there is more certainty about the
new crop. There are plenty of bears
and any break in wheat will probably
cause setbacks in corn.
4 Oats Weather conditions fairly
i favorable for the crop although re.
tarding maturity and causing rank
growth Oats have saown little indie
pendence and in a general way have
simply followed the action OF other
grains.
