Serves Many Purposes and Is Gaining

There are few plants which will put
waste land or run down farms into
proper condition for producing crops as
quickly as sweet clover. On this ac-
count sweet clover, which Is SO COM
mon along roadsides an1 in waste
places in many parts Of the country, Is
rapidly gaining in favor as a cultivated
crop
The root development of sweet clover
is such that large quantities Of vege-
table matter are added to the soil when
a field of it is plowed. By turning un-
der a crop of sweet clover when the
plants are one to two feet high or only

In the following crops. Sweet clover is
very good winter cover crop and
especially so on rolling land, since it
prevents the soil from outlying and
washing. 1t takes up large quantities
Of available plant food from the sur
face and subsurface soils. some Of
which would probably leach out Of
these soils during the winter. This
plant food is returned to the soil when
the roots decay.

SACHET FOR THE HATB0x
Bunch of Tiny Roses Is One of the
Newest Ideas for the Seeming
of Lingerie.

An unusual sachet, which would be
very attractive for the hatbox or to
keep among the lingerie, is a bunch
of tiny rosebuds, such as are used for
decorating boudoir caps, negligees,
etc. The heart of each rose, before
being coiled, should be filled with
ones favorite sachet. In cluster of
eight or nine roses, the sachet will
be sufficient to impart delicate fra
GRANGE.
A sachet of this sort is extremely
dainty and the rosebuds are the most
easily manipulated of all the ribbon
flowers The ribbon should be an inch
wide and sewedainto a little pocket at
one end of the sachet, then wrapped
around and around until the rosebud
is the correct size. Add few leaves,
cut from green velvet, and you will
have one of the loveliest of sachets.

years ago will remember the remark
able popularity Of cerise. Since then
it has returned many times and with
each temperance it has been re
ceived with the same amount of pleas
ure which characterized its first CON-
ing.
"Beetroot," "geranium" and various
other shades of red have been favored
by fashion, but none of them is ac-
cepted so cordially as cerise, which
reappears under the name of mill

red help to brighten the dark colors
which are so popular. The monotony
OF black, tete de negro and midnight
blue shades in vogue is relieved by
an occasional dash of brightness, such
as cerise or similar colors.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea

Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

us how he tried to milk cow-with-

an easy task for an Impractical hand.
Leslie Stephen was once on long
tramp in Switzerland, accompanied
by his friend, Doctor Morgan. They
missed their way and found them
selves, parched and hungry, far from
any dwelling place. At length they
came across a COW, from whom they
determined to extract some nourish-
ment, but after trying their best for an
hour, each holding on to her horns in
turn, they had to abandon all hopes
of milk This, remarks Doctor Nor
gan, is zone of the very few occasions
on which l ever saw Stephen fairly
thwarted."

gay years women have accused the
Worths of making them look old, a
crime that few dressmakers can sur
vive, and there have been times when
this house has not enjoyed popularity.
Even the American buyers have not
paid much attention to its models
during the last three seasons; the
reason always was that women
wanted more frivolous, more conspic-

But the house had decided sue
cess last season. One or two of his
models were more widely copied, per-

during the winter. So this season he
has gone in for ruff1es as real nov
