DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOP
PING EARLY.

The crusade to persuade mil
lions of thoughtless Christmas
shoppers to make their purchases
early is on again. For years
this carelcssness has caused the

department stores and the little
shops alike. The week before
Christmas sees salesgirls work

happy parents, dutiful children,
expectant bridegrooms, etc,

Cbe Night Of the

they moved there unrolled beside them
the endless film of brilliant shop win

through the swinging doors eddies of
people were sucked in and elected. At
the curb the toy peddlers shouted, the
chestnut stands sent up their smoke.

To Freshen a Lace Waist.

A tight cut lingerie waist of white
lace and embroidery gains wonderfully
in elaborateness by the addition of the
latest French fancy. This is a broad
band of net in a pastel shade, embroid-
cred in soutache braid of the same
color and applied just over the bust.
With this is worn one of the new neck
scarfs of chiffon. i'm n color that ex-
actly matches ana with the ends en-
broidered in the soutache. Both of
these are easily made up at home by
any clever needlewoman and will go a
long way toward hiding the defcien-
cies of a pretty but aging lingerie
waist. The chiffon scarf is especially
charming when embroidered its entire
length with large coin dots in satin
stitch.

but a very convenient arrangement, is
it not?
Hair ornaments, too, are much in

only match or contrast with the color
of the gown with which it will be
worn, but it must be appropriate to
the fabric of which the gown is made.

the hair ornaments should be fluffy

Biggest Fruit Crop in History.

Spokane, May 1.-Officers of the
state horticultural associations and
commercial organizations in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana,
say in reports to the local Chamber of
Commerce there is every indication
that the fruit crop this year will be
the largest and most profitable in the
history of the four states.
F. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner, says that growers will
produce in Washington, twice as much
fluIt this season as in 1908, the year
of the record crop. Including peaches,
apricots, cherries, berries and other
soft fruits, the yield will be at least
doubled owing to the increased acre
age, while the apple crop will show
an increase of about % per cent.
Northwestern apples are in demand
in the Eastern, Middle Western and
Southern states and in Europe and
Australia, and the markets are being
extended year by year.
Reports from nurseries and growers
are that between 1000, 600 and 8, 0OO,-
600 l and 2-year saplings will be plant
ed in the four state and provinces be
fore the close of 1910. This means
that more than $4,000 acres of land
