Silk and satin gowns are now reserved
for the wedding day and the gradua-
'tion gown is of some sheer tub mate
rial combined with lace and embroid-
cry, or of chiffon, lace or net dropped
over a slip of thinnest silk. For the
June graduation the lingerie frock is
enchanting, though often a dance fol-
lowing the commencement exercises
gives excuse for a costume of more
elaborate type. Such is the graduating
gown of embroidered net, looped up
with flower sprays. The manner of
slashing one of the net flounces on the
skirt and looping up the lace under
the spray of small roses and leaves is
notable. In the opening beneath the
looped up f1ounce shows the drop skirt
of thin white messaline, edged with a
pleated net frill which forms the foun-
dation of the embroidered net costume.

bliss OF sleeping between cool. smooth
linen sheets will never refuse a future
invitation from that particular hostess.
Bedspreads and window curtains
usually match in the bungalow bed
room and just now there is a fancy
for spreads and curtains made of
machine embroidery. These embroid-
cry covers and hangings are easily
laundered and give the summer bed
chamber a DELIGHTFULLY."- fresh and
dainty appearance. Wide bands OF
embroidery insertion are set between
strips of dotted swiss or plain white
lawn and a ruffle of embroidery edg-
ing borders the curtain or forms the
valance of the bedspread. Dresser
and table covers are fashioned to
match and sometimes light colored
lining of sateen is laid under the
embroidery.
Dining room linens for the bunga-
low are as unpretentious in effect as
the bedroom linens. though in both
cases the linens themselves may be
as fine and handsome in quality as
the hostess pleases. Only for dinner,
in the bungalow regime, is the large
table cloth used. Breakfast and lunch
cloths are much smaller and make
easy washing for the laundress when
many guests mean fresh changes
every day. The lunchcloth may be
any size from a yard and a quarter
to two yards square, and it is usually
matched by small hemstitched square
napkins and by simple, scalloped or
hemstitched linen doilies to be placed
on the polished table If there are

of the lunch or breakfast cloth will

The question of a rye mixture, how

crop, the farmers growing it will have
to exercise great care or there will be

Having had some inquiries from
grain inspection departments along
this line, it was thought best to run
a test with a known quantity of each

quantity of No. 2 wheat vas secured
to make this test. This wheat was
all thoroughly cleaned and secured In
one lot. Then for each sample there
was just enough of this wheat taken
so that when the 1910 or Is per cent
