1t slips through a slash in the other
end and both are supplied with but
tonholes that fasten over buttons OF
white bone. The blouse fastens with
snap fasteners down the front. A neat
finish is given to the deep cuffs and
rolling collar by narrow piping Of
the plain material used for the suit.
But this piping has another function
and that is to give to these acces-
series the proper set.
The ambitious girl who wishes to
experiment in making things for her
self might try her hand upon a suit
of this kind. Nearly all the work ia
done on the sewing machine, the fit
of the blouse is vague and the skirt
presents no difficulties. All she has

trance to the jar. The animal In CON-
Ing along the tunnel falls into the Jar
and cannot climb out. Success depends
much on the skill used In placing the
trap.
Repeated leveling of mole ridges on
a lawn by means of a roller not only
tends to discourage the animals from
making further incursions, but pre-
vents the soil from drying out and thus
injuring grass roots.

mole, its habits, and methods OF con-

Blessings doubtless rest upon the
head of the designer who originated
those pretty cotton costumes for sum-
mer days which are coming to be
classed as pastime suits. When com
fort and style and daintiness present
themselves all combined, and at a
small cost, they are Irresistible. These
things have made the instant success
OF the cotton suit for summer outing
wear.
Cotton poplin or cotton gabardine
are of about the right weight for suits
of this kind and there are other fab
rics that are well suited to them, as
crash or ratine and fancy basket
weaves. The suit shown In the pic
ture Is of gabardine, with collar. cuffs
and pocket flaps Of brocaded ratine.
White is as good a choice as any for
the skirt and blouse and there are
many striped and figured cottca goods
that will answer for the trimmings.

mole when 1t attempts to pass In ell
ther direction. The choker trap has u
pair of wire loops that encircle the
burrow when the trap is set. All these
traps are sprung by the same sort of
mechanism trigger pan resting on
a depressed place in the mole ridge in
such way as to be lifted when the ami
NAL passes beneath. No part of set
mole trap should ever be in the run
way, as its presence makes the animal
avoid the obstruction by burrowing
around or below it.
Directions for Setting Traps.
Only general directions for setting
mole traps can be given here, nor are
detailed instructions necessary, since
the makers OF traps usually furnish
specific directions for using them. A
mole trap can be successfully oper-
ated only when set on that part of a
mole runway which is near the sur
face and has the soil raised into q
distinct ridge, newly worked. Freshly
broken soil usually indicates that the
tunnel is In use. When in doubt, the
operator may make small break In
the ridge and observe whether the
mole repairs it within few hours. In
placing trap, one of the stretches of
the runway that leads in a definite d.
rectlon should be chosen rather than
one of the turns that may not be regu-
larry traversed by the mole.
Before setting the trap, 1t is well to
ascertain the course of the burrow by
thrusting down lead pencil, or stick
of similar size. The trap selected
should then he lined up with the course
ms nearly as possible; the jaws of the
sclssor-jaw type should straddle it, the
loops of the chOker type should encir-
Gle 1t, and the spikes of the harpoon
type should be directly above il. In
the case of the harpoon type, IL is best
TO force the impaling spikes into the
ground once or twice TO facilitate their
penetrating into the burrows when the
trap is sprung. 1t is desirable also, i'm
setting any of the traps. to depress on
" that part of the ridge Immediately
under the trigger pan, using the hand
a
little earth or a small chip of wood
may be placed under the pan if neces-
sary. The trigger catch should be set
as lightly as possible, and one should
avoid stepping on any part of the run
way near the trap. 1t will pay to visit
traps at least twice a day.
Moles are persistent in repairing
breaks in their tunnels and may often
be surprised at their work. 1t is easy
then to capture the animal by impaling
1t with fork or throwing 1t out by
quick thrust of spade or shovel. A
section of the runway may first be |
broken open or leveled and the place !
