Such materials as admit of pretty handwork --tucks, en>-roidery and dainty lace edgings--are much to the fore for out- of-town wear. Everything now shown, in fact, sug­ gests coolness, guimpes and sleeves NEW GOWNS SHOW A CHANGE Louia XV. Style Is Boeomlnjf'Apparent and la a Hint for the Coming Fall Costumes. The Louis XV. style is more than apparent in many of the new gowns. An excellent example is shown in a point d'esprit gown made with a skirt that is definitely flaring in tho light of what our eyes have become accus­ tomed to. The skirt is festooned with filmy flounces over the lining of coral-col­ ored silk. The polonaise, which dips back rapidly from the waist line in the skirt, is of a quaint coral-colored bro­ cade, the ends of the skirt part knot­ ted back in a whol'y original way and the middle of the back falling in with the train. There is no girdle at the front, but there is at the aides and back.. The low neck has a sort of bertha of the silk edged with a lace frill and the short sleeves have deep lace frills. The polonaise is a growing fashion and it is more than likely that a good deal of it will be seen next fall. If Louis XV. styles are again material­ ized, it will be sure to crop out. Trimming for Buttons. Large fabric buttons are trimmed with embroidery, passementerie beads; sometimes a quilling of satin or narrow ribbon is put about them to enhance their value as an orna­ ment French Cynicism. la their first passion women love their lovers; in all others they love love.--La Rochefoucauld. TWO WAISTS TO ONE SKIRT. being only an cxcuse for concealment with their unllned nets, tucked gauzes and open eyelet needlework; while coats have dropped sleeves entirely and headgear assumed something like a touch of reason. Altogether, there Is a rural flavor upon the town; flowered calico holds a choicer place than silk, as far as the counter goe&, and in the milliner's window field posies and pale grasses vie with the farmer's fruits for no­ tice, their simple prettiness quite put­ ting the more gorgeous flowers to the blush. The lingerie headgear is most charming, and though the prettiest of this is, of course, for misses and chifc. dren, there are very smart muslin hats for women, which, with their frills; and ribbons, g£ delightfully with cerv tain quaint frocks in the same ma­ terials. A misses' gown of almost classic simplicity is pictured here, but if tho .material Is carefully chosen a gown in this model could be worn on the most festive day occasion and even on a smart evening one. The dress is suited, however, to any service, for all that is needed is to suit the ma- terial to the use required- For a really fine frock, white or pale cream shan­ tung, both of which wash beautifully often, and always clean superbly, will be a rewarding material, as no matter how plain a gown is, this rich silky texture creates a look of great ele­ gance. The scallops in this case could be done of hand embroidery, and the but­ tons be of silk embroidery, while a somewhat handsomer textile than net should be employed for the long sleeved guimpe. A parasol in the same material as the dress makes the get-up very fetching, and the deep basket hat would be lovely if of Pana­ ma or leghorn, with a white, deep blue, rose-colored or black ribbon. For this little dress eight yards ot shantung, pongee or linen 27 inches wide, and two yards of tucked net 18 inches wide, will bfc required by medium figures. A Tablier for New Gown. Swinging stoles, or tabliers, richly embroidered or inerusted with beads and weighted with fringe, are a fea­ ture of new Paris frocks for cere­ monious wear. One handsome cos­ tume shoves five of these tabliers hanging over a satin gown and laced together to give the effect of a tunic. Over a black lace or net evening frock a gold-embroidered tablier Js very stunning, and any woman could make this dress accessory at home. The- tablier should hang straight from the bust or high girdle, and should be at least four inches wide at its narrow­ est part. The lower edge, near the foot, is rounded off in broad tab fash­ ion, and is weighted by fringe. The tablier is embroidered with soutache braid or coarse silks, and the Pharaoh, or Egyptian, patterns are most popu­ lar. CHIC OUTING HAT. Good Idea for Summer Frock That Will Greatly Prolong the Life of the Garment. In making up a shirtwaist frock of summer material, that is to see hard service, it is a god idea to make two waists to one skirt. The skirt wears twice as long as the blouse and in this way the life of the frock is prolonged. They will fade unequally? Not a bit of it if the waists are worn alternate­ ly, not keeping one until the other is worn out. Another useful tip for the morning frock is to have stocks made of the ®aterial with white piqueties for a , four-in-hand. There should be at least two to each waist, as a frock that is worked in gets soiled more quickly in jtbe collar than elsewhere. If the Stock is not detachable the blouse Jaust often go to tne tub before its : Have the skirts cut to clear the ^*J|round by two Inches and do not se- J«ct a model with many plaits.

OAD and HOME-MADE STUMP PULLER. Contrivance for the Extermination of "Grubs" of all Kinds, from Bi£ Pine Down. Tbte part of Michigan is yet new, so we have a great many stumps to deal with, of all kinds and sizes, from the monstrous pine down to the small hardwood, or "grubs," as the latter are called here. The illustration shows the general construction of a kind of machine which is in general use here for pulling stumps, says a writer in the Rural New Yorker. I cannot give sizes, because tbey are made in all sorts to suit the work they have to do. The timbers for legs, etc., A Stump Puller. do not need to be sawed or hewed, a round pole will do as well,.if it is only stout enough. A blacksmith can make the irons, and any farmer who Is handy with tools can put one up, the one thing important to know being that every part must be very strong and rigid, as the strain is something immense. The tackle block at the bot­ tom (on the "shoe") is single; the others may be double, triple or even quadruple, according to the power needed to do the work. The large clevis, hanging from the lever, can be changed to different holes, as shown, to give more or less power, as needed. The tackle blocks should be iron or steel, and a half-inch wire cable is much better than a hemp rope. The way to use the apparatus will readily suggest itself from the picture. PROPER CARE OF HORSES. Many horses are ruined by being brought into the barn too hot and left to stand in a cold draught or bitched to a post to stand. A good currying occasionally does- not make a sleek horse. It takes every day grooming to open the pores, soften the skin and produce a good, healthy, sleek coat. The colt's training must begin short­ ly after birth. A halter should be put on so he can be caught and handled every day. Never tease him. Regularity of work counts in every­ thing, and especially in the handling of animals. The horse that is worked regularly aequires strong muscles and v tough shoulders. Many farmers allow their work horses to remain idle for several days or weeks at a time, and then imme­ diately put them Into hard service. A horse that has been idle for sev­ eral dayB should be given very light and moderate work for the first day or two, so that the muscles and skin will regain their strength and toughness. It is a better plan to arrange some work for the horses daily. In this way their bodies never become soft and weak, hence they seldom become ill or injured and are always In train­ ing for efficient service. NEW KINDS OF VEGETABLES. Delicious Radishes of Unuatfal 81m the Result fef Long andCara- "VK*Oul Exparimaftta. ' ' V; • (Copyright, 1*».) \r ' About three years ago the United States department of agriculture In­ troduced a new radish from Japan, which immediately made its way as something both striking and valuable. It is an enormous white-skinned rad­ ish with leaves two and three feet long. The seed looks like that of the common radish, only considerably larger. This radish is known by sev­ eral names, the most common of which Is Sakurajlma. It is claimed to reach the weight of 30 pounds in Japan. The heaviest one they were able toTgrow at the Rhode Island station weighed 18 pounds, and In various tests with seed secured from various places it averaged 15 pounds, which made a pretty good steed radish. - It grows about a foot and a balf long, and about eighteen Inches through. Its leathery skin Is easily removed, revealing beneath a crystal whiteness, very solid., and in texture like an extremely fine apple. It tastes like our earliest radishes of the high­ est quality. It has the rare merit of being free from rankness or biting character even in the heat of summer or fall... It neyer grows corky or pithy and grows equally well in every kind of soil. The Sakurajima may be eaten in many ways. It is sliced and eaten raw, or may be boiled and served very -much as we cook turnips; in China and Japan it is sliced and sprinkled with salt and allowed to stand for about twenty-four hours, then washed and served. The leaves also are edible. They may be cooked as greens, are far more delicate than kale, and are finer for this purpose than any of the well-known greens used in different portions of the country. Unlike the smaller members of the great radish family, Sakurajima is at its best in the summer time, when all other early radishes hate become un­ eatable. Pulled the last of Novem­ ber, after several hard freeses, it proved sweet and palatable. Sea kale is not what can be termed a new garden vegetable, but it is classed among the "fancy" vegetables. It is not oommon, because an idea has prevailed that it cannot produce results worth while in less than four years. This has recently been proved an erroneous idea. It is a most de­ licious vegetable, combining as it does the flavors of asparagus, cauliflower and celery. The edible portions are the naked leaf stalks, which ara flbrced and bleached. They look at first sight like celery stalks, but have a distinctive taste of their own unlike any other vegetable. It may also be cooked and served with drawn butter, in which form It resembles stewed celery, tastes some* thing like blanched asparagus, but has withal a special and delicious flavor all its own.

The great advantage of this device is that the funnel catches all caterpillars which fall. Max M, Lutton. A Willow Baskat. There Is a great fascination In the cqjloring of willow baskets, or even of chairs and porch furniture general­ ly, with wood dyes. We used to call them? stai|s, but they are of slightly different ingredients, and are now re­ garded as more of a dye. The new porch basket is made of willow in the natural state and will take the dye perfectly. It is intended for sew­ ing or for a fruit or flower basket In shape it is low and flat, with a tall handle. ^ The basket itself is about 18 inches by 12 inches, an oblong. The bottom is slightly curved and its sides are only 2% inches deep. No more beautiful basket ^ of these flat willow ones dyed greea could be imagined for the woman who has made a hobby of her flower gar­ den and goes laden with cut blossoms for her neighbors. AN OUTDOOR FEED BOX. I have a plan for making an outdoor feed box, which will interest all farm­ er , says Lynn Fa- v < r i n i n t h e Prairie Farmer. Tv/o posts are p l a c e d i n t h e ground at the de­ s i r e d d i s t a n c e a p a r t t o s u i t l e n g t h o f b o x . Two or more feet from the ground 2x4'* are nailed for support for the feed box. The box is placed on these 2x4's. Between the tops of the posts a wire is twisted to hold them together and keep the box in position. Such a feed box can be made without any difficulty and on many farms will often be found to be a great convenience. Scarcity of Farm Help. The great problem of farming com­ munities to-day is the scarcity of farm help, which makes, it Increasing^--"They will eat them all the year round. ly difficult for the farmer to leave home. It hardly seems possible that within a few hours' ride of our great cities, help cannot be sectored, but our farmer friends assure us that it is easier to pick bank notes off black­ berry bushes than to find a man to milk cows and take care of stock on the farm--and yet there are thousands in the cities who are serving long hours at unwholesome work for the merest pittance, who might regain Piling Seasoned Ties. tie is brought into contact with the ground at more than one point; that only a comparatively few ties are required, thus permitting numerous piles along the right of way, with a consequent saving in the labor of carrying the ties from the pile to the track. Good Hay for Horse. Many farmers still have the notion that clover hay is not fit to feed work horses. It is one of the best of hays for horses. It contains good muscle and energy-producing materials. It is almost twice as rich as timothy, hence a less amount is needed. A good way to use clover with horses is to feed it half and half with timothy. Clover hay is a good bowel regulator, and 1b generally beneficial if fed with cau­ tion. Money In Farm Animals. Live stock of all kinds is now on a high basis and no doubt will continue so for some time to come. There is money in growing farm animals, both for the animals themselves and for the good they do in producing fer­ tilizer at home. Keep all young stock growing on pasture, and do not be afraid to feed a little grain to supple meat the grass ration. Take Care of the Colts. Don't let the colts go out Into pas­ ture skin poor. Keep them in good flesh with hay and grain foods. Corn and clover hay are about the best feeds for these young animals, and Dry clover hay is relished by all cat­ tle and horses even when on good summer pasture, and it is. a good thing to give them a daily feed erf it A Good Rotation.

The Courier-Journal tells of this embarrassing statement made by a Well-known Louisville woman who Is ki!own as "saying things without thinking." Her daughter was enter­ taining a young man on the front porch and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over a year old, and it was trying to walk. "You shouldn't let it walk so young," ad­ vised the thoughtless matron. "Wait until it's a little older. I let my daugfiter walk when she was about that age, and it made her bow-legged." The young man began to talk eneis getically about the weather. The 8ame Old Johri L. Old John L.

Sullivan was washing his face in the theater dressing ro-jm when the two arrived, and they wilted patiently until he had finished his ablutions. When John had dried hia countenance he gave the dude one look, and then said to the manager: •'Well, I congratulate yott. Jack, is it a bor oMi girl?" ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food. The story of the great discoveries or inventions Is always of interest. An active brain worker *who found himself hampered by tack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study va­ rious foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, be­ fore he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat master) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man doe* not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of mating Grape-Nuts daily Is easily seen in a marked sturdi- ness and marked activity of the brain and nervous syste-n, making it a pleasure for one to oarry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming and being fully and thorough* r cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Port, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in pkgs. for the famous little hook, "The Road to WellviUe." "There's a reason." *T think she's double-faced!" "Oh, don't say that!
