wear. but h spite of the fact that the wool ones are for practical use the sleeves of these are rarely quite to the wrist. and there are other very CO., ouettish details. huge buttons in he lining color being among them.
 1T the bride-ro-be expects to have rather g useful traveling gown of cloth or serge she would do well 70 try On one of these checked or plaid wool coats in harmoniZing colors, for as part Of the skirt would show the coat color would need to match. For home sewing one such model is shown in the illustration, which is of green and black Scotch check with a plain facing of the green The coat is slightly double-breasted and fastened to the neck, where ic is finished with a military collar. When this is thrown back. the lining forms contrasting collar and revers, but this part of the coat is capable of different arrange ment. if liked. as Is shown by the small view of the model. which em- ploys a separate goods for the collar and cuffs The sleeves are of the loose sort approved for the style. the lining forming the cuffs. and the pock- cts are of the patch sort, which are so easy for the home dressmaker to put on.
 If liked, this model could be used for the coat of a suit in a rough wool and 1t would be very handsome and ,teaF,.1 is ir u-o-a pf hiapE satin ou-. lined with silk braid or finished with a pufing of the same. The smarter coat might need 10 have the sleeves shortened a little, for wrist-length sleeves are rarely used for the smarter wraps. The double-faeed wOOls are shown iE all of the big shops at prices that vary according 10 the quality Of the goods, but as the fabrics are all wide, very little would be needed foE such a wrap. Ready made the gar. ment would cost from twenty dollars up to fifty, although there are always cheap coats in the latest styles, and if one is lucky enough to find a good ht and color in one of these the cheap coat is sometimes very satisfactory.
 The home making of a coat is not to be advised unless the sewer pos sesses the skill to give it the neatesr tailored stamp. and she would, be- sides, be much helped if she had the heavier pressing done by tailor as feminine strength is scarcely ade- quate to the output needed.

Clarence is one of our nice boys, of
whom we are justly proud. He has been
for several years chief engineer on one
of the Clyde line steamers, which ply
between Philadelphia and Norfolk. He
leaves a salary of $100 per month to re-
turn to his beloved home and take up
his childhood occupation which is nearest
and dearest to his heart. But now it is
on his own farm which he has earned
and bought. We extended to him our
earnest blessings, congratulations and
fondest hopes for his deserved success.
The much advertised Farmers Insti-
tute that was to be held here Saturday
last, was a farce. Not single speaker
showed up, and those who came out in
the windy blasts were disappointed.
]. E. Ennis has a brand new gasolene
engine which, we are informed, he will
install upon the up-to-date Duffy Farm
near Fleatown for general use. We are
getting proud and tony about Fleatown
and will make the big farms set up and
take notice. Col. Benston must now
show his progressive spirit and follow
suit.
The dupont Road people are unload
ing much machinery, dump carts, and

are not put on the other 40 feet instead
Of the 80 feet of road. We learn that
