foodstuffs Is greater than the world

that this desire is attested by q gem

runs from SIS to $25 per acre, accord

The cultivator Of high priced farm

It therefore becomes question for
the farmer himself to answer, whether

NIidscason Hats.

Now that the midseason is here.
hats of velvet are giving place to
those of satin and silk. Figured
silks are used for some smart, col
orful hats, while crepe is another
material favored by the milliners.
Combinations of straw and satin are
likely to be very popular also. Black
straw formed the tiny brim and the
lower part of very high crown of
a chic hat. The top of the crown
and the upper part was of blue
satin. Medium size brims on rather
dropping lines are also noted. A
hat of crepe was trimmed with three
rows of pleated ribbon at the top
of the crown with a beaded orna-
ment in front.
The veil is still the faithful COM
panion of the hat. Embroidered
wells are even more popular than the
plain ones, and the flowing wells
more favored than other styles. Some
of the flowing wells are worn very
short.
