When you see stockings with queer embroidered holes in their tops that look as though I had been there with my rare species of needlework, you will be looking. at the new Butinol hose. Off hand, one might think silk stockings get enough holes on their own account without purposely putting them there, but that's not the psy- chology of inventive genius. If your nerves can take it, the in- nate idea of buttonhole stock. ings Is sort of hypodermic game having to do with trico- Italian silk bloomers, whereby one en- deavors to jab the hole in the stocking with the garter firmly at- tached to the bloomer. It's sort of a mating season theory, each being unhappy without the other. This particular team is intended for that considerable element that goes without a girdle because 1t loves to and is bored with round garters. Don't know any other reason to cite.

"Oh, find another place." This trifie defiantly.
 Dick was silent. He was fond of picturesque old houses under ancient trees. Eve called his at- tention to the broken step, the dismal bathroom, the unattrac- tive kitchen.
 "I'll fix them up for your aesthetic friends" he promised.
 He was as good as his word. Delighted at his offer, Mrs Brooks purchased paint and lino- leum and left Dick, unhampered by directions. to transform the kitchen as Eve wished it !. The walls he painted Q creamy bun with deeper buff woodwork. Table and chairs he enameled in laven- der. Eve hung apple-green satine oyer-drapes at the large, old- fashioned windows and the glass curtains were of cream net. They found an old screen in the attic, and this Eve decorated effec- lively and used to conceal the stove and sink.
 An old mahogany bookcase was moved in to be used as Q cup board. Eve brought home a chintz lampshade with a gay lin- ing. This cast a rosy glow over the room.
 T love it." she exclaimed when the transformation was complete. "ItN looks like charming break fast room instead of a kitchen"

City children as a rule know toe little about the country.
 August Is the time for them to learn a lot if you are within rid ing distance of county fair.
 These fairs are great institutions. Not only are they proud exhibits
 of prize live stock and preserves, of quilts and poultry. but they represent an America of which the urbanite knows too little.
 The farmer, his family; their pride in achievement. There is no finer type of citizen than the progressive farmer.
 Progress in Farming
 Farming has progressed. Com-
 pare the sheep and pigs and COWS of half a century ago to the blue
 bloods we see in the stalls today. Compare the fruits of old. ne- glccted orchards to the snappy beauty of today's varieties. Com
 pare almost anything of the old farm with that of today and it would be Q stubborn person who
 would not acknowledge progress.
 The Century of Progress is not all demonstrated at Chicago. I be-
 lieve those who can possibly af- ford 1t should take the children to the Fair in Chicago. But think
 1t is as important to let them see the progress the other fifty per cent has made of the country too. We need greater understand ing between city and country. The farmer has his fair and invites his
