mm/oNw FAJSVIES IN BRJDAL ARRAY WHAT 8HOULD BE PROVIDED AND AVOIDED. Lavish Expenditure of Money Not Necessary Providing Good Taste is Exercised--Garments That Um.» D> included. For the bride with $500 or more, (and good taste), the selection of the troasseau is simplified. But, for the giii who only has one-fourth that amount, or less (and good taste), a lot of thinking must be done. But there Is considerable pleasure In economy planning, and much satisfaction In se- i need a dressy cloth goss for vis!i!ss» | and for church wear, and shoes, gloves and dress in keeping. These will be the most often worn and pass under the notice of the greatest num­ ber of people and they are to be pro­ vided for, therefore, before even tli# wedding gown Is considered. It is foolish for a bride In moderate circumstances, who Is to marry a man In the same state, to attempt a lavish and splendid gown for her wedding, and eklmp everything else in order to have it. She will have a white ele­ phant on her hands afterward, of no practical to anyone. And besides! she will cot look any prettier In it than in a simpler gown which may do service for many a future occasion. Let the plain street or traveling dress, and the costume in which you must mg&s-z Is. b «~"«nt iB ^ Vv £ ill v way and content yourself with a sim­ ple wedding gown. You will look pretty dressed all in white anyway. Moreover, the cleverness with which your gown is made and its genera! ef­ fect will count for more than anything else when the great day arrives. Choose a high-class model for your de­ sign and Indulge in beautiful lines to your heart's content. JUL!A BOTTOWL1V, Late Frill of Fashlory A woman just home from Paris had brought with her a dress that Is startling in Its sllnklness even In this day of attenuated lines. It is an afternoon gown of pale vio­ let chiffon made with long lines and rather simple trimming. Its chief cause of novelty Is that It is worn without drop skirt or petticoat of any Jnd. To insure against raids of the po- ; Ice or horrtfed matrons of the old j : chool, the frock was built of six or even thicknesses of chiffon. The under layer was a much deeper tone han the outer ones and the shaded ef- ect was Indescribably lovely, nor was the gown as shocking as it sounds. For Morning or Afternoon. curing bargains. In the case of the girl with the small amount the shop­ ping tour must becomes bargain hunt. Whatever the state of the fair one's purse, there are some Items which must be of excellent quality. Her. un­ der muslins should be substantial, dalr.ty and not overtrlmmed. She must possess a plain, beautifully tailored street suit and smart street hat, with shoes and gloves in keeping. She will For Traveling. Large sewing cases for travelers are to be had in abundance, but have you seen the tiny affairs put up in boxes about the size and shape of a round stick of shaving soap? These contain a tiny spool of white ana biack silk, a email pair of scis­ sors, a silver thimble, and a tiny In­ ner box filled with needles. The en­ tire case can easily be slipped in s handbag and kept there for emer­ gencies. NEED OF GOOD FERTILIZERS Application of Commercial Product Enhances Wheat Grower's Chances for Big Yields. With the majority of farmers the vse of commercial fertilizers in wheat seeding has become quite the rule. While they do not use particularly large quantities per acre, they have found from experience that 200 to 400 lbs. per acre annually is a good in­ vestment In many sections wheat has become i-ather an uncertain crop, and those who raise it year after year, appre­ ciate the necessity of furnishing com­ plete cultural conditions and seeing to it that the soil contains sufficient plant food to feed the crop through to maturity. In other words, taking every precaution that will reasonably as sure fairly good yields and profits. The season just past oas demon­ strated that even in good wheat years when fields without special treatment proved profitable, the application of commercial fertilizers pays, the ad­ vantage of applying fertilizers is read­ ily apparent. When fertilizers pay in good years, the results from its use is all the more striking in off years when the general crop proves a fail­ ure. The growing of wheat, in fact any crop/, is surrounded with enough un­ certainties without trying to make good yields on poor soils which have shown their gradual impoverishment by the decreasing yield each succeed ILLG OT-HKUD. By applying commercial fertilizers the wheat grower's chances for good yields are materially enhanced, and as no one can foretell whether the sea­ son will prove unfavorable, it is econ­ omy to use fertilizers on «-very seed­ ing. One of the chief functions of commercial fertilizers with wheat. Is to furnish the young plant with plenty of available plant food right from the start, enabling them to make rapid and vigorous growth at a time when it will mean most to the later develop­ ment of the plant. With such a start the roots soon reach down into the soil wher they gather food from the less available sources. This keeps the plant growing steadily all through the Beason. With the use of fertilizers ther is no standing still, which is oft­ en the case where no fertilizer »is used. The most perfectly prepared RAPH bed will sot preset!t & condition suitable for rapid growth unless there is plenty of available plant food near the surface where the fust formed rootlets can readily find It ARRANGEMENT OF AN APIARY FANCY EMBROIDERED GOWNS I WHEN ON AFTE-'NOSN VISIT SELF-CLEANING LAWN RAKE Embroidery Talk Which Is In the Na­ ture of a Word to the Wise Needlewoman. All Paris is showing a touch of em­ broidery, sometimes quite heavy and elaborate, on the afternoon and eve­ ning gown. Flower gowns predominate, but such effects as wheat and corn stalks are seen, and even fruit patterns are not unknown. Every material is being used, from chiffon to satiu. and the stitching is in black or In a dark, rich color to corre spond with the gown. For, in general, it is only the darker dresses that are so being treated. The summer girls and the debutante are as yet exempt. Sometimes large dots define the seams of the skirt or form a vertical row down the front. This sounds too extreme for American women, but when these enormous black dots are repeated on the white lace of the yoke and down the tight sleeves the effect is stunning without being vulgar. Embroidered chiffon gowns are made over heavy satin; black over white is especially Bmart. with the embroidery In a rich blue or green. The chiffon Is usually held to the satin by bands of taffeta. Even gloves are heavily embroidered nowadays, black gloves showing wide stitching in white, and white gloves in black or colors. Costume Would Make Up Well in Shantung or Some Material of Similar Character. Shantung would adapt Itself well to this. The skirt has a pretty shaped yoke, cut with a point at bach and front, and a tab on each nip The 8imple Wooden Attachment so Ar­ ranged That Implement Will Thow Off Accumulations.

When baby falls and bruises him­ self, provided the skin Is not broken, appiy a clean cloth wrung out of wa­ ter as hot as can be borne. A little olive oil, butter or vaseline should then be rubbed in to prevent dis­ coloration. If the skin is broken, however, bathe the place carefully with warm water, to which a little boracic acid ha* been added, to remove the dirt. Then apply some boracic ointment, and the abrasion will very quickly heal, says Home Chat. Barley ,water makes a cooling and refreshing drink for the little ones during the hot weather. It should be prepared like this: Well wash two tablespoonfuls of pearl barley and simmer gently in a pint and a half of water for two hours. Then strain, add a little lemon juice and sweeten very slightly* In hot weather it should be made fresh ev;ry day, as It "turns" quickly. A Hot Salt Bath. There Is nothing more soothing in a case of nervous restlessness thau a hot salt-water bath before retiring. The salt seems to go into the system, giving rest and quiet for the nerves. The water should be about as hot a» It can be borne, and the bather shouid retire just as soon as the bath is com­ pleted. Care should be taken In the drying, a heavy Turkish towel being used vigorously. lower part is plaited at the sides, and is then set to yoke. A light braiding design is arranged at the edge of yoke, also on the overbodice and sleeve-bands. The underslip 13 of whltfe nloon. Straw hat to ^match dress, trimmed with chiffon.

Attached to this piece of wood were two pins which passe 1 through the back of the rake. Two compres­ sion springs placed on these pfns b<» tween tbelr beads and the rake back kept the strip of wood at the base of the rake teeth. If the grass or leaves would stick to the rake teeth after drawing of the rake, all that was nec essary to do to clean them was to turn the rake over and strike the heads of the pins on the ground. The teeth would be cleaned instantly. Plow Lands Well. I want soli plowed fairly deep, and Insist on having every inch turned over, realizing the truth of tie old adage: "Land well plowed in half hoed." I use the disk barrow, going over the piece about once In two weeks until the ground freeze*, thus securing a sod bed that is in the best possible condition for the following crop, says a writer in Baltimore Amer­ ican. I have taken a field tt at was badly Infested with witch grass and by following this method have en tlrely eradicated It. and I behove that I have Increased the crop .'ully 25 per cent, by so doing. Venice Fashions. The ladies of Venice have formed a league to discourage Paris fashions and bring back the medieval Italian styles. They hold that the vision of a Venetian woman attired in the latest Paris creation and seated in a gondola in one of the picturesque canals of the city, is ^ sight go ridiculous as to become pathetic. Headed by Signora Rosa <3enoni, the novelist, these daugh­ ters of Venice have started a crusade that promises to bring renaissance styles back to Italy. Fortunateljr for Paris, Ameircan women do not care for oui- aboriginal costumes. Beekeeping Furnishes Li'ir.g. Beekeeping is not an occupation in winch one can easily becom< wealthy, but it can be depended up >n to fur­ nish a comfortable Ijvlng, and perhaps enable a man to lay up e few thous­ and. Fortunately, however, the pro­ fessional man's happiness bears little re'ation to the size of his fortune: and the man with the hum of the bees over his head finds happiness deeper and sweeter than ever comes to the merchant prince with his cares an' his thousands. Knowledge in Beekeeping. With the numerous popular works on bees and beekeeping no one need be so ignorant of the subject as to be deterred from engaging to a reason­ able extent in it, and it is.,best to be­ gin in a small way and increase the number of colonies as knowledge in­ creases.

Of all unpleasant places to work It is an apiary where the hives are crowded together, or where they are under trees. If hives must be set under trees, the limbs should be trimmed high, so as to avoid catching the veil. Since I have no trees or bushes in my yard I, use the ventilated onver? *t><? rharle-boards over them. During the hottest weath­ er 1 draw the hives back beyond the end of the bottom-board so as to give more air. , A Healing Ointment With t Wide Range of Usefulness • letter from Mrs. I. S3. Cameron, Graduate Nurse, Augusta, Me., says: '1 must write and tell you th\s good Resinol Ointment has done. I applied it to an ulcerated leg of six months' standing. Almost everything had been tried to heal it. Resinol was applied twice a day for four weeks, and the ul­ cers are entirely healed. It is now k\t months since the treatment and no indication of a return of the trouble. I have used Resinol for eruptions on children's faces, and for everything that seemed to need an ointment, with satisfactory results in every case." Mrs. F. Cox, Chicago, 111., says In another letter: "I cannot speak too highly of Resinol Ointment and Soap. They cared my baby boy of Eczema. He had a very severe case. Numerous other remedies had been tried and failed to do any good. I would not be without them in the house.

SPRAY FOR POTATO BEETLE Most Growers Neglect Applying Poi­ son Until Insects Have Ob­ tained Start on Vines. The chief difficulty in spraying for the potato beetlf seems to be that most growers postpone applying the poison until the beetles have obtained a good start upon the vines. The best time to kill them is immediately, or soon after they hatch. The destructive season of the bee­ tles upon late potatoes lies between July 1 and August 10. The season of greatest destruction from blight upoa late potatoes usuaiiy conies between August 15 and September 1 HIS WELCOME FOR PRODIGAL Cowboy Would Have Reversed Pro­ ceedings as Recorded In the Scriptures. . . • f Judge Ben B. Llndsey of the famous Denver juvenile court said In the course of a recent address in char­ ity: "Too many of us Rre Inclined to think that, one misstep made, the boy is gone for good. Too many of us are like the cowboy. "An itinerant preacher preached to a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son.' He described the foolish prodi­ gal's extravagance and dissipation; he described his penury and his husk- eating with the swine in the sty; he described his return, his father's lov­ ing trelccnse, the rejoicing, and the preparation of the fatted calf. •*The preacher in his discourse no­ ticed a cowboy staring at him very hard. He thought he had made a con­ vert, and addressing the cowboy per­ sonally, he said from the pulpit: " 'My dear friend, what wouid you have done if you had had a prodigal son returning home like that?' "'Me!' said the cowboy, promptly an! fiercely, I'd have shot the boy and raised the calf.' "--Detroit Frae Press Potato Spraying Maehina. Some farmers are deceived In think­ ing that they have the beetles under control when the large Insects sud­ denly disappear. The fact 1b these beetles go into the ground to get their wings, and when the mature insect comes out they cause serious loss to the crop by chewing off the leaves and leaving the stems nearly stripped of foliage. They cannot be con­ trolled at this stage. It Is almost Impossible to prevent swarming when producing comb honey. The honey extractor saves the bees much time in comb building, and thus the beekeeper can secure more honey. Improve yoilr bees by always rear ing queens and Increasing from col­ onies that have gathered the most honey Never mix sun-slaked lime with ma nure, as It will cause the escape of the ammonia, one of Its most valuable elements. Salsify Is a common vegetable oy ster and. properly prepared, It is one of the most delicious vegetables the garden produces. Never extract honey before at leas« two-thirds of the comb is sealed or capped over. Otherwise the honey it not ripe enough and will ferment.

At a dinner giv­ en In his honor, he spoke of "the ashes" of some dead hero. "Ashes! What American Engilsh!" rudely broke In an Englishman; "dust you mean, Mr Sumner. We don't burn our dead in this country." "Yet," in­ stantly replied Mr. Sumner, with a courteous smile, "your poet Gray tells us that Even in our ashes live their wonted fires." The American was not criticized ajraln that evening. A Dreamer. "You say your boy Josh is a dream cr" said the literary lady. "Does he write pvetry or romances?"
