American agriculturists for proper f.

they get it. 1t does not matter where
the money comes from, Wall street or

Mr.. Herrick is assembling facts and
figures for the members of the South
ern Commercial congress, who are
now on their way to Paris by way of
Rome. He says that letters received
from those members indicate that
they have broadened the scope of
their inquiry to cover the agricultural
needs of the entire United States. The
most important document obtained by
the ambassador is the report of the
English inquiry into agricultural cred.

WAYS OF FINDING PARTNERS
Some New and Original Ideas Whi:h
Intending Hostesses May Find
of Real Value.

A correspondent kindly tells OF
these ways to find partners:
"One girl had conurdrums written
on cards and given to the girls; the
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers on
the girls cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An
other girl had the girls names writ
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
to make out who their partners were.
Another girl had small piece cut out
of the card; the pieces were given to
the girls and the other portions of the
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told to look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
with theirs. Another put the girls
names on cards and they were put in
envelopes and sealed and hid in diff
ferent places in the parlor."

1t has become quite fad to have
the combinations, corset covers. pet
ticoats, gowns, etc., in colored batiste
to match the costumes with which
they are to be worn, or else to harmo-
nize with the decorations of the bou-
doir, particularly in the case of gowns
and petticoats. The trimmings are
usually lace of the shadow or val vari-
ETY.. Cluny, baby Irish and venise are
used on gowns and petticoats. This
fad will probably continue until hot
weather arrives, at which time there
is nothing better than white.
