Better Agriculture.

Washington. Oct. IA scheme to
stimulate agricultural development is
being pushed by the crop Improvement
committee Of the Council Of Grange Ex-
changes. an organization composed of
nineteen Of the twenty-five largest ex-
changes in the United States. The
movement has for its aim the placing
in each state of a trained agriculturist,
whose duty it will be to study local
conditions and suggest plans for scien-
tific farm management. In carrying on
its unique work the crop improvement
committee is receiving cooperation
from the government, the state schools
Of agriculture, the railroads, the grain
exchanges, commercial clubs and other
important bodies. Heretofore almost
the only financial aid given to agricul-
tural development in this country has
come from the states and the federal
department Of agriculture.

graceful drapery of such gowns is
quite indescribable. A very pretty soft
falling black satin has a black lace
front over white chiffon, the vest all
puckered and white chiffon brought
to the neck with the black lace on
either side. The sleeves are made OF
black tulle puffings over white to the
wrist. On many of the black dresses
q touch of color is introduced and has
wonderful effect, seeing how little
is used-just a strip of ribbon intro
duced on one side. Many of the gowns
made in diaphanous materials have
a panel of satin starting from above
the waist and carried down the en-
tire length of the skirt.

Buttoned Down the Back.

Skirts buttoned all the way down
the back are the latest caper of fash
ion. An evening gown, worn at a
large reception recently, had one of
these skirts. The gown was of pale
yellow satin charmeuse, the sides of
the skirt being lifted in slight draped
effect at the hip and passing under
the broad panel which formed back
and train. This back panel was but
toned down the center with small but
tons of the yellow satin set closely
together, and the line Of buttons ex-
tended from the waist line to the
end of the train. The satin skirt
was draped up over bodice of yellow
chiffon, and yellow satin buttoned
boots and long. embroidered gloves OF
pale yellow silk completed the cos
tune.
