WOMAN AND FASHION
Quaint Fashions In VOGUE.

The smartest thing one can be this

respondent from the French capital.
THE odd, fanciful. singular'-diction
airy definitions of quaint-are those APP
plicable to the present fashion. 1t is
not exactly picturesqueness that is
aimed at, but singularity. 1t amounts
sometimes to untidiness, but more of
ten to fascinating and apparently
unstudied neatness The hats are
quaint, any shape at all and worn
right over the head, with just a little
hair showing underneath at either
side, often none showing in front.
Then coats are quaint. l saw one Sc
verely tailor made opening over
transparent front of skin white tulle.
The effect was as if the coat had been
donned over decollete gown. 1t was
singular. A long racing coat of green
velvet was braided across, hussar
fashion, and then left open from the
waist. showing blouse of delicate
laces. The effect was fanciful. There
will be wild things done under this H.
cense of Quaintness. On the other
hand, we shall see wonderfully attrac-
tive real quaintness in dresses suiting
pretty people and cleverly carried out"

The prassx Hat.

The very newest hats, strictly for
dress occasions. have streamers that
can be tied loosely under the chin or
left hanging, as one wishes. These
streamers are of broad ribbon or of
black velvet that is introduced in some
way In the hat trimming, the long ends
being brought over the wide brim in
a picturesque way. To tie the ribbon
into a bow at the back Of the head is
a favorite way of arrangement, and
the ends are allowed to hang free

Flowered hats usually have black
velvet that is brought straight across
the crown, over the brim on either side
and tied under the chin at one side.

1t Starts Growing In the Open, but

Most people of the north suppose
that peanuts grow, like potatoes, on the
roots of the vine Others with equal
confidence state that they hang from
the branches like pea pods. Both are
right, and both are wrong. The peanut
ground in the shape of a flower grow
ing at the end of long tube. After
the fall of blossoms this tube, or Pc
duncle, elongates and bends down
ward, pushing itself inches into the
ground. If for any reason it cannot
If it succeeds in burying itself to it's
own satisfaction the ovary at the base
of the peduncle slowly enlarges and
forms the familiar pod, which is there
fore dug out of the ground.
Scattered over the roots of the plant,
however, are numerous warts or tu-
bercles, in which, by the aid of a good
microscope, can be seen myriads of
minute organisms. These bacteria-like
bodies, though they get their living
from the plant, contribute materially
to it's supporting by collecting nitrogen
from the air and holding it in storage,
so to speak, supplying it to the plant
as need requires. These wonderful
little storehouses often contain, by
analysis, greater supply Of this in
despensable fertilizer than the sur
rounding soil.
The native country of the peanut has
long been matter of dispute, but the
department of agriculture states that
the weight of evidence seems to be in
favor Of Brazil. Thus the peanut is
added to the four other plants Of great
Importance that America has given to
the world-namely, cotton, Indian corn,
tobacco and the potato.
