one OF the prettiest models for an
" afternoon gown has been devel-
oped by Green of Paris. 1t is unusually
plain and il is unusually shapely. Yet
IT is strictly in the mode, and the
mode started out to be very fussy. But
Americans would not have too much
BUSINESS. Hence it is a quieted and
much-chastened mode exemplified IN
the model shown in the picture.
The skirt is draped in plaits foldeo
over toward the left side. with a short
split at the hem. 1t hangs In at the
ankles and out a little at the hips.
The underbodice is a separate gar
ment OF siih and lace.
The little coat is cut with kimono
sleeves and shaped to the figure at
the front by folding It in from the
swell OF the bust downward. A short
basque is shaped into a semi-fitting
back and short rounded end. A dou-

out so many culls ana poorly -colored
fruits, IL would be much better TO thin
of, early in the season, all wormy and
diseased apples and the small green
ones on the under sides OF the limbs.
which really never size or color up. AS
result, the fruit left will be much
freer from blemishes and more uni
form in size and color, so that the task
OF closer grading and packing will not
be difficult.
When To Thin.
While there is some question as to
the best time to thin apples, the most
generally accepted time is during the
month of June, after the June drop
natures method of thinning fruit)
has taken place. BY thinning off the
unnecessary fruit at this time the
whole strength and vigor of the tree
can go toward the. uniform develop
ment OF the fruit left on.
Method of THINNING.
In thinning. all diseased. injured or
insect-eaten fruit and the little green
apples on the lower and under sides of
the limbs should be removed and all
clusters should be reduced to one
apple. The remaining fruits on the
limbs should be left from six to seven
inches apart. Never shake a tree as
means of thinning, the wrong fruit
may fall While pruning takes out
many fruit spurs. still those limbs
left may need thinning. The work
can be done readily by hand, or clip
pers may be bought with which to clip
the stems. Never break off the fruit
spurs.
Kinds Of Trees To Thin and Cost Of
Thinning.
IL may not pay to thin all varieties
all ages of trees, and trees growing
upon all kinds OF soils. Some varieties
are naturally shy bearers, and some
medium-aged trees on rich, heavy soils
are able to mature their crops salts
factorily. but in West Virginia, where
our trees come into bearing so Young
and bear such heavy crops, and where
we grow so many high-class apples
that could easily be boxed, there is no
doubt but that IT would pay us to
thin in many cases. No definite cost
OF thinning can be given which will
cover all cases, since so much depends
upon the form, age of tree. and the
amount OF fruit TO be removed. The
result is also influenced by the char
acter OF the workmen and the price
paid for labor. However, a fairly ac-
curate estimate of the cost of thinning
trees from ten to twenty years old
with the average farm help and with
a fair crop will run from fifteen to
thirty cents per tree. and with trees
twenty or more years old the price
will vary from thirty to fifty cents per
tree.

subject can find a more detailed dis
cussion in the Proceedings Of the

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
It is true that nature and woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more effieacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health - many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

The deceased was of a prominent
