ADVANCE STYLES
IN SPRING COATS,
Full Length Models Lead, but
Shorter Ones Are Coming In

In speaking of spring wraps the Dry
Goods Economist says:
The cut Of the coats again shows the
straight line from shoulder to hem.
While there is no indication of any at
tempt to draw in the figure in any ex-
a%ggerated way, the absence of fullness
in the skirt gives the appearance of
slimness which is so essential.
The full length coat is considered the
most practicable for the coming sea
son, but manufacturers are working
Oh some new models in three-quarter
and seven-eighth lengths in cutaway
effect, which they expect will be taken
in the dressier models in silks, satins
and charmeuse.
The large easy fitting sleeve is con-
sidered excellent for spring and is seen
frequently in the utility coats. 1t is
made somewhat similar to the regula-
ton coat sleeve, outlining the arm to
more or less extent. In automobile
wraps the sleeves as well as the arm
hole are made somewhat larger and
usually finished of with a deep turn
back cuff, some of which have buttons
and straps so that they can be fas-
tened close to the arm when taking
long journeys.
In the evening wraps the sleeve is
frequently cut in kimono shape, but
set in at the shoulder or below the
i shoulder line, but the regulation kimo-
no sleeve Is seldom seen in the new
lines. The full length sleeve is by far
the most desirable, but some three
quarter and seven-eighth sleeves are
to be found in the extremely dressy
wraps.
The use Of fagot1ng and fancy silk
stitching is noted and makes a neat
and effective trimming. Belts are much
in evidence, and belt effects are also
seen. These are largely Of leather
and suede in black and colors and in
some cases of the material itself.

MO wonder an old botanist called
chocolate 1.-The food Of the gods"
Chocolate contains 80 per cent of
fat, which should be remembered when
the housewife is considering the desir-
ability of foods for winter use.
Some Simple Cakes.
Chocolate Doughnuts.-Take one cup
full Of light brown sugar, two table
spoonfuls of butter, two eggs, n cup
full Of buttermilk, one te%aspoonful Of
baking soda dissolved in milk, two ia
blespoonfuls Of grated chocolate, n
teaspoonful Of nutmeg. Add just
enough -four to roll out a little at a
time, cut and drop into hot lard.
Chocolate Drop Cakes. - Take two
eggs, their weight in butter, soft sugar,
-four and grated chocolate, using more
chocolate than -four. Beat butter and
sugar to a cream, add beaten eggs,
-four and chocolate alternately. Last
ly add n or two drops Of vanilla es-
sence and one teaspoonful Of baking
powder. Mix we'll, drop a spoonful into
some we'll creased patty pans, bake
in a fairly quick oven When cold
frost with white icing.
Chocolate Eclairs.-This favorite pas
try may be made thus: Put two ounces
of butter into a saucepan with half a
pint Of water and a dessertspoonful Of
sugar. Bring it to the boil and stir in
half a pound Of -four and the yolks of
three eggs. Beat well. When cold
add the whites Of eggs beaten to a
stin froth.
Bake in strips in a moderate owe
for half ar hour. Cover with chocolate
icing made as follows: Put three ounces
Of chocolate into a saucepan with half
a pound Of icing sugar, a little water,
melt over the fire and while hot pour
over the eclair.
Make a split in the center of each
one and fill with whipped cream.
With Cornstarch and Rice.
Marbled Cornstarch.-Make a rich
! cornstarch custard. coloring with pow
dered chocolate. Pour this out into a
| sheet one inch thick and let cool. When
cold cut up into dies about half an inch
| square in different sizes and shapes.
Line the dish with a very thin crust,
| fill it with these chocolate dies in a
careless manner. then have ready a
cornstarch custard free from color.
Pour this IN the dies in the dish and
it will run between them. Place this
to bake in the oven till set. This cut in
slices looks like marble.
Chocolate Rice.-Put four cupfuls of
milk In a double boiler. When boiling
add one-half cupful Of rice, one-third
teaspoonful Of salt, six tablespoonfuls
of sugar. two of butter. three of grated
chocolate and one ~teaspoonful of va
nilla. Steam one hour and serve ict
cold.

A Little Work May Save Large Repair
Bills.
To make that mile or two OF road
better will take a little time, a little
work and a little expense. But it is so
little time, SO little work, and SO little
expense it would seem that almost
anyone would be willing to give it. For
the expense part of it W. will fix the
total at the enormous sum of IS, just
about what it would cost to have a
blacksmith fix a buggy which had been
smashed up in a chughole some dark
night when the team was feeling a
little frisky and one of the boys had
stayed out a little bit late seeing his
best girl and was in a hurry to get
home.-Farmers and Drovers' Journal.

One of Montana'S
Worst Weeds.
BY D. B. SwingIe, Botanist,
Montana Agricultural Col
iege.

+ + + i + :.
A weed that has justly earned the
reputation of being among the worst,
II not the very worst, for Montana is
the fan weed, known botanically as
Thlaspi arvense l.. In other parts of
the country it is called field penny
cress, bastard cress and French weed.
It belongs to the mustard family,
which contains a number of bad weeds,
but under our conditions this one ap-
pears to be the worst of the lot
Fan weed is an annual plant; that
is, under normal conditions it pro-
duces a crop of seeds during the first
year and dies in the fall. If, however,
the plants start very late in the sea-
o and do not have time to seed be-
fore cold weather sets in, they live
over winter and reproduce very early
the next season. In the latter part of
February, 1911, there we're at Boze-
MAJ a few warm days, aad on the 2Sth
we saw a plant in full b~s9m standing
in a small hole in a snordrift. Even
from seeds terminating in the spring
the plants grow with great rapidity
and mature seeds in July or v in
June. Others come later on so that
ripening seeds may be found during
the rest Of the growing season.
This plant forms a tap root with
oidn hronahnc hit 1ovo1onc M H0chv
Or creeping root system. The stem
grows from six to twenty-four inches
high, usually about eighteen inches.
1t does not stool out, only n stem
growing from a seed. If crowded, it
makes only a few short branches, but
If allowed DON it branches very free
ly. The leaves are simple, about three
times as long as wide, and only the
very lowest have leaf stalks, the blade
being attached directly to the stem,
which is often clasped by two basal
lobes. The lower ones are about two
inches long and the upper about one
inch. AS the plants mature the lower
leaves turn yellow and drop off, leav.
ing the stalks bare. The flowers are
small, less than one-sixteenth of an
inch in diameter, With four white pet.
als, and are borne at the ends of the
branches.
The seeds are borne in fiat capsules
nearly round in outline with a deep
notch in the apex. Each is divided by
q partition into two seed chambers
A thin marginal wing extending all
round gives the whole structure the
appearance of a fan from which the
name is taken. They are borne on
slender stalks one-fourth to one-hal1
inch long and are arranged along the
sides of the main stems and branches
at the top and extending downward
for several inches.
Each capsule contains several seeds
fourteen being the typical number II
all have set. They are conspicuously
marked with ridges, usually five OF
Dix on a side. The color is a reddish
brown.
