WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN

A handsome dress of blue charmeuse l is made with plain skirt. At the waist is draped girdle, that broad ems on the right side until 1t forms a sort of draped tunic half way to the knee. On the. left side it retains it's character of broad girdle draped only to the hip. The bodice is cut blouse fashion, with a V neck filled in with creamy white net.
 An extremely attractive blouse for mourning is of black crepe de chine, made with a deep vest of white crepe
 and d collar of the same around the neck which has the shape known as
 sunshine" and is pointed on the shoulders. Small crepe covered but tons adorn the waist in the front at either side of the vest.
 Plain fabrics are returning to favor One of the smartest plaids is made up in chiffon and is used for bodices. It is barred with red and gold on a blue ground and shows a line of green here and there. This plaid chiffon is COW cred by the dressmakers with sheer blue chiffon, the color of the back ground, and so the coIors arc sottened and merged into harmony.
 The slashed skirt that has caused so much discussion has been taken over by just enough establishments to keep it fashionable. 1t was reported that the skirt would disappear before the summer but with summer modes the cut was as much in evidence as ever. At modish resorts on the coast during the summer the skirt was so much worn that people ceased to look at it and the expose it made.

WOMEN ON THE FARM.

Tn his endeavor to make his de- partTnent serve it's full purpose, the secretary of agriculture has undertaken the ambitious task of endeavoring to supply, SO far as it is in his power. the help which will better the lot of the women on the farms. Naturally it is important that he should know what the needs of the farm women are and he went about it in the right way when he decided that he would find out, by asking 5O.OO0 farmers wives. When A is considered that these wo- men are located in 28OO counties in this country. it is readily seen that there will be a diversity of answers.
 Certainly no one is better qualified to tell what they need, or what the department can do to aid in bettering the conditions for the farmers wives. than they are themselves. There are plenty of ambitious and intelligent farm women in every county who can offer souse valuable suggestions. which if they do not require the de- partments assistance. would be of i'm n1ense value in dealing with the lot of the farm women in general There are many things which it might be imagined would be wanted, if condi- tions on the farm were right, and work and leisure could be made to cooper ate The life of a woman on a farm is necessarily a busy one It ought 10 be. nevertheless. an interested and a happy one and the interchange of ideas which the secretary is seeking is going to offer many valuable and useful suggestions in the plan itself whether the department is equal to 1a ysr1sz

FOR THE PORCH.

Do not throw away your old chairs. By cutting them down you can make them useful for the front steps. Take a saw and cut off the back legs entire ly and then measure the depth of the step and cut off the front legs so that they will just reach the next lower step. In this way the chairs will fit on the steps and the fact that they have back rests makes it a pleasure to sit on the steps summer evenings.

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Though brocaded silks are used for costumes, they are not as universally becoming as the plain fabrics. The combination of a coat of figured ma tertal with a skirt of the plain goods is a happy one, and if the coat is in neutral coloring it may be worn with other silk frocks and the lingerie dresses.

SCATTERING IMMIGRANTS.

The importance of properly distrib- uting the large army of immigrants who come into this country each year has long been recognized. It offers difficulties. however which are easier to point out than to overcome for the natural tendency is to big cities. or centers wherein other of their fellow countrymen can be found: it is only what could be expected of strangers in a strange land. That distribution is hard to accomplish is only strong CT reason for greater and more persist ent effort
 There are over a million coming to this country every year to obtain and share in it's benefits. With the great expanse of country which is not put to its full use, it is but natural that such states as Louisiana, MississfDpi Arkansas and Alabama have united in an effort to secure a distribution of the desirable immigrants throneb the port of New Orleans instead of New York. There is certainly a need and an opportunity in the south for the agricultural Europeans. the same as there is in western and northern states IL is much better that they be scattered about over the country than to be huddled in great cities. both for their own good and for the good of the nation. Certainly the idea. of getting the immigrants to ports near est the points where the best opportu- mites exist for them Is bound to prove Of apprectable value in the dietrfbu- ton of these people and what this quartette of states is doing could be well initiated by others,

Shapes o! the Satellites.

Photometric studies of six of the
principal satellites of Saturn, made by
Guthnick, indicate a confirmation OF
the previous conclusions OF other OBJ
servers that several and perhaps all
Of these satellites behave like our

side toward the planet around which
they revolve. In regard to the satel
lite named Tethys, an interesting by
pothesis is offered to account for Its
very marked changes of luminosity
The theory Is that Tethys possesses
the form of a long ellipsoid, the two
principal axes OF which are to one an
other in the ratio Of flve to two. A
similar suggestion has been made con
corning the shape of the asteroit
