One Of TuiIe Valenciennes Is Made
With Neither Trimming Nor
Fullness.

The newest cream white blouses are
more plain than ever. The prettiest
are tulle valenciennes, or a kind of
soft point d'esprit with figures like
those in the valenciennes design. One
blouse of this material has not the
slightest trimming or fullness except
IN the back, where there is tiny bit
% cover the opening and make it look
like narrow plat. The entire thing
Is made in one piece the sole garnish
being little button studs of black vel
vet in two rows at the throat. both
back and front, and on the wrists.
The neck is cut low and round, with
:ording of the lace in three rows.
A noticeable feature of this blouse,
which was designed in house in the
Place Vendome and intended for the
Riviera, is the sleeves maG+s all In one
piece, with no extensions Whatever 1t
Is as though the entire thing had been
nodded together. No doubt the styles
tor the coming season will adopt ideas
seen in this blouse. We have arrived
1t period when cuts and finishes are
1t their cresendo of plainness. Moth
Ing further is possible because effects
could not possibly be any more rigid
Or simple.

Cold STORAGE for Fruit.

Three systems of cold storages are
commonly used for fruit-the ammo
MIA system. carbonic acid gas and CAL
cium chloride-says the New England
Homestead. All are chemical stor-
ages; but in region where natural
ice can be obtained cheaply, the cal
cium chloride gravity system seems to
be much cheaper than the two first,
and equally good. The ammonia sys-
tenn has to be pumped at pressure OF
200 pounds to 400 pounds to the square
inch. Both these require expensive
duplicate machinery and high-priced
engineers night and day, while the cal
cium chloride uses cheap machinery
and ordinary help. G. H. Powell, for
merly with the United States depart.
ment at Washington, says the calcium
chloride gravity system is the best for
northern localities.

Curtains of Fine Net,

It has always been possible to get
coarse nets in crude colors. This year
one of the fine nets has appeared in
soft artistic shades that are a delight

light blue. and pink are a few of the
colors. 1t is so inches wide and sells
for SO cents yard. 1t will make
satisfactory substitute for two sets
of curtains, combining the transpar-
ency of the white net and the color Of
silk or linen, says a writer for the

Favorite Color, Vet This Style
10 Always Smart.

While cOlors are to be rampant this
year and spread themselves over the
world like gorgeous sunset or a rain
bow, yet the tiny black satin hat is to
be very smart indeed The woman
who is in doubt what to choose when
she is bewildered by the sulphur, pur-
pie, bronze and red shades offered
would do we'll to N3n:dly retreat to-
ward conservatism AMI choose a hat
of black satin that has little trimming
and owes its beauty to it's shape.
Such hats are not what they used
to be. They are distinctly of this sea-
son. The shape is rather stiff, with a
low crown and two-inch brim which
rolls slightly back at the edges; over
this the satin is stretched and finished
at the, seams with cord or piping.
There are no folds or bows or full
crown bands; all is as smooth and de-
mure as a nian'sssilk hat. The trim
ming is pie ced nat on The brim and is
made up of any kind of feather that
has spirals and looks struggling and
careless.
The best known choice is feather
called numidie and which is more or
less expensive and very fashionable.
The peacock feathers are on this or
der and that is one of the reasons
why they have returned to favor.
Straw and wheat are also used, and
whatever does not lie flat on the brim
stands insolently erect in the middle
Of the front or back.

Rhubarb.

How few rhubarb plants one sees
growing and how nice that old-fash-
Toned spring tonic lis! Considering
ing to plant it and the plants come up
year after year, there is no reason
why we should not, all of us, have all
of the pieplant pie that we can eat
every spring. Half dozen hills will
supply an average family.
Harvest time for rhubarb is the
spring and early summer, but we fire.
quently get second crop in the fall.
Sandy loan is best for this plant,
but it will grow we'll in any rich,
warm. moist soil. You cannot get the
soil too rich for rhubarb, and it does
not stand drouth very we'll.
Do not try to grow the plants from
seed if you can secure root cuttings
from a good, strong old hill Each
cutting should have two buds or eyes.
Plant them in rows three feet apart.
with the eyes an inch below the sur.
face. They will begin to grow at onca
and, if planted early, few stalks
can be pulled the first year.
AS fast as seed stalks appear cut
them of. If very fine, large stalks
are wanted, and why not have the
best, thin out all but the center buds,
so that the entire strength of the
plant will feed these.
After the leaves are cut back by
frost in the fall cover the plants with
four inches of straw or manure. This
prevents freezing and makes the next
years crop earlier
While the plants will start early,
at the same time the leaves will not
push through this covering until after
danger Of spring frosts is past, hence
it should not be removed too soon.
Many commercial growers keep the
soil covered with straw the year
round in order to keep weeds down
and hold moisture without cultivation.
Cover the plants in the winter any,
way. 1t will avoid disappointment
and increase the plant food.
Every three or four years 1T is ad-
visable to dig up the plants divide
tnem ana replant In another spot. II
this is not done, the plants run out
and the stalks grow small and pithy
Division and new location start
them off again as good as new.
Any surplus can always be sold in
the spring at a good price as we seem
to have natural craving for the fresh
green acid qualities of this old-time
pie fruit" Eat lots of it. Eat it raw
and cooked, in pies and out of pies,
put up all you cannot eat and save it
for winter, but grow it yourself if you
have two by four patch Of ground
where the sun shines. Il costs moth
ing to raise and it tastes lots better
when it comes out of your own patch
And, Furthermore, it is a much better
spring tonic than sulphur and mo-
lasses, or sassafras.

See how sleek my coat is! Do you
feel that big lump in my stomach
That's nice lamb I had for supper!
When I met you was on my way to
get some honey. always like to have
something sweet after have eaten a

Honey! Honey" said Billy. Il
often heard my old Daddy talk about
eating honey. Can l 60 with you and
get taste Of honey? l never ate
any in all my life.'
Come along with me, and on our
way I'll tell you all about it."
So the two bears walked leisurely
along through the bottom. and out
into the big woods on the higher
| ground.
| Il told you," said Sol, Il was a
! wise bear l work with my head,
thinking about schemes to get good
living without much labor.
! When l am out in the woods and
see little bee flying along as fast
as he can go on a straight line, ]
| know he is going home with load OF
honey. get his course and follow
along after him. Pretty soon another
bee will come flying along in the same
direction. going home with his load
of honey, and so keep following the
bees until l come to the honey tree
where the bees live. This tree we
are going to now found yesterday
while l was taking a little walk
| through the woods"
By this time they had come to the
honey tree and Sol pointed it out to
Billy.
DO you see that big hole away up
! by that big limb" said SOL That's
where the bees live. There is a lot
of honey in that old hollow tree, and
| we'll eat just all we want of it.
III. go up and pull the big chunks
of honeycomb, filled with honey, out
of the tree and throw it down to the
ground. While I'm doing that you
! can keep watch" And Sol strutted
/ off to the tree, put his arms around
the trunk and pretended he was try.
ing to climb up and get the honey.
NY! My!-1 am getting 80 fat
and I've eaten SO much I'm afraid
| can't climb that tree tonight"
! I'll go up there" said Billy. That's
easy for me-"
And Sol put his paw to his mouth
and chuckled, because he never had
any notion Of going uH that tree.
"Just put your paw in the hole
Billy, pull out the honeycomb and
then come down and have the sweet
est supper you ever had in your life. .
Billy was up to the hole in few
moments. peering in and licking his
chops. ~s>,@@
Sol sat back In the bushes laugh
ing. He laughed so hard the tears
came to his eyes. Just as he looked
up. Billy put his paw In the hole and
pulled out q great chunk Of honey
At the same time poor Billy put ri
