HOT WEATHER HINTS A WORD ABOUT THE NEEDED HOU8E GARMENTS. •Imple Styles in Dainty Materials That the Home Dressmaker Can Put Together--Illustration Shows a Pretty Idea. This Is a tale of the attractive and comfortable bouse garments needed for hot weather and which a woman of any sewing gift can run up in a few hours. I shall tell. only of the sim­ plest styles--styles which can be bought ready made at a pinch if you can't sew--tell only of the dainty ma­ terials which can be had from 12 V4 cents up to 30. What sort of negligee does the .av­ erage woman need--she who is nei­ ther rich nor poor, but who is still young, or else very young and as coquettish and pretty in her instincts as she should be? First of all a com­ fortable kimono for her bedroom, for the resting hours which are to build FRENCH KNOTS COME BACK MATERIALS THAT ARE USED Combinations Are Much Seen in Cos­ tumes Turned Out for This Season's Wear. Combinations of materials are much seen. In tailored suits, tunic skirts show the petticoat or under­ skirt, the jacket and the tunic of one material. The second material is em­ ployed for the collar, cuff and revers facing. Deep collar and revers facings of black velvet are used on light tailored suits, and two colors of one material In contrasting tones are united in a simple suit. The always popular combination of blue serge and black satin is again used. In a blue serge 6uit a tunic of blue serge passes around the figure and over a sash drapery of black satin which forms the back panel. PRETTIER THAN THE IKULES Ribbon Bedroom Slippers Are the Lat­ est--Dainty and Attractive Footwear. Pretty as are the ribbon mules that were first seen a little more than a year ago, the new ribbon bedroom slip­ pers are even more attractive. They are made in much the same way as the mules, save that the ribbon, in­ stead of simply forming a hood for the front of the foot, must form a slipper for the heel as well as for the toes. First of all a pair of slipper soles must be purchased of correct sire for the fortunate being who is to receive the slippers as a gift. These 6lipper soles may be found in two different styles. One of these is the wool sole, suitable for winter, and which, if it is not to be uncomfortably warm, must be covered over with a piece of ribbon or s&tln The other sole is covered with felt wadded satin, but Is noit so •Oft as the first, and is essential for Are Quite Taking Place of Fashion­ able Beading--How to Make Them. French knots are quite taking the place of the fashionable beading. The latest thing is to buy a voile or mar­ quisette blouse pattern marked for beading, and to make a French knot instead at each place for a bead. The effect is soft and extremely pleasing. Must of us know how to make French knots, but Instructions to the others may not come amiss. Briefly, they are as follows: To make a French knot, draw the needle through the upper side of the fabric. Hold it in the right hand and with the left hand take hold of the silk at a point near the fabric and twist it two or three times around the nee­ dle. Then put the point of the needle through the fabric again, very close to the point at which you brought it up: draw the twisted silk closely around it and push the needle through. Hold the twist tight against the goods with your left hand while you draw the length of silk through, so as to keep it from uncoiling. When the silk has been drawn quite through, it holds the knot up her good looks or keep them in good trim; next, some little gown or other which Is so discreet in style that it might easily be worn for the reception of some accidental guest, be he her young mian, the mayor of the town or the new minister, and after that one or two--the more the merrier--dainty little sacques of the sort that go with petticoats or dress skirts as the occasion may need. The kimono is handy, needful, alto­ gether a thing of the greatest desira­ bility, but with summer so near, when the stern rules of dress are so much relaxed, modish woman needs more than the single garment, which le dis­ tinctly for use in my lady's chamber and is improper elsewhere. She re­ quires a belted daintiness, something thai, can be worn over ft little loung­ ing corset, that can se« and be seen and that is so cool and good to look at that it seems a real pleasure to be a woman and'know the summer­ time. In the illustration shown the style of the sleeves and the smart shaping of. the peplum, as well as the chance to use a very good embroidery, offer very dashing possibilities for a little dinner sacque or a belted waist that would go with a skirt in the same material. AB pictured, the charming coquetry is of white dotted muslin with squara yoke, sleeve frills and peplum of em-- broidery, and a little lace beading threaded with soft louislne ribbon. If made in a single material from three to four yards would be needed. And now let me specialise a little with materials--really cheap things that are not often used. Take a look at the fancy curtain muslins and mad­ ras cottons for the same purpose in the shops and see how many really dazzling effects can be had for gowns with these coarse but effective mate­ rials. If you find some brilliant and not too clumsy 16-cent weave for the little get-up you want to be very fetch­ ing, look for the coarse ten-cent lace that would go with it. Then peep at 'the silkolines for 12% cents a yard- also curtain stuff--and get some dark color with huge poppies or roses for the bedroom kimono. With a little wisdom, much patience and a modicum of taste, the prettiest house garment for summer may b® produced for a song. FOR THE WARM DAYS A simple summer dress of tussah. with revers of flowered linen. Sling Sleeves. The popular and fashionable top coat made of satin or crepe de chine has the wide sling sleeve, which was in style in medieval days. It is not so large as its ancestors and it has a wide cuff, which shows the color and the reverse side of the satin. Nearly all these coats are made of reversible cloth, the colors of which are in di­ rect but harmonious contrast. summer. Ribbon abont four Inches in width is then bought ard sewed with overhand stitch all round the outer edge of the sole, Just a small amount of fulness being left about the front. The seam, of course, comes in the back. About an inch from the top edge the ribbon is then gathered in fairly tight to an elastic, the inch of material thus forming a ruche about the instep. With a pretty rosette of flowers or ribbon the slipper is then complete. That it may wear well it is advis­ able to provide only a good quality of ribbon, and a heavy quality at that, and if the slipper is to be really dur­ able the ribbon should be lined with silk or satin. Needless to state, tho sole of the slipper and the ribbon em­ ployed must be of the same shade, unless a flowered ribbon is used, in which case the lining of the ribbon and the cover of the sole are of the same delicate shade of pink, blue or mauve, as the case may be. A nar­ row hat elastic is best to use about the instep, as a thin cord elastic will tot hold. Horticulture REMOVING PUNT FROM POT Method Shown in Illustration W!M En­ able One to Re-pot Plants With­ out Injuring Roots. A lady gardener once said to me: '1 have no trouble in taking a plant out of a pot in which it has been growing for some time, as I simply take a table knife and cut around the inside of the pot, r.nd the plant drops out when the pot Is inverted." But That method canndt be approved, as the knife will ruin many of the roots, and so injure the plant that it will not recover its normal growth again for several weeks after shifting, says a writer in Park's Floral Magazine. But it is not only in repotting that !i mm f * I*5 „ & -<sr Shifting a Plant. we wish to take a plant from the pot. Often we wish to examine the roots or the soil or the drainage, and the easiest way to do it Is to place the fingers over the soli. In­ vert, and tap the edge against the ledge of the table. The manner of grasping the pot Is shown in the il­ lustration. Before doing this it la well to thoroughly water the plant, a« this adds to the weight and acta as a lubricant In the separation of the roots and soil from the pot In re-potting it is well to observe these suggestions, as you will thus be enabled to remove your plants from the pots without injury, and promote their health, growth and bloom. MOISTURE IN ORCHARD SOIL Water Is of Prime Importance Whlla Tree Is Fruit Making--Chief Ele­ ments of Success. (By WALTER B. LKUTZ.) As water Is the means of circulation of plants as well as of animals there­ fore it is of prime Importance that water be present in the soil, in order that the plant food in the soil may ba taken up by the trees. Many orchards have sufficient avail-; able plant food, but lack water at that critical period while the tree is fruit making. If a soil lacks water some form of fertilizers are a positive de­ triment If they are present in abund­ ance. The chief etements of success in pre­ paring an orchard Boil for the best re­ sults may be summed up as: Removing surplus water from the soil. The conservation of plenty of moisture. The Judicious use of manure and cover crops. The use of potash and phosphoric acfd in available forms. Cultivation to keep a mulch. Reduc­ ing the number of trees per acre. By withholding nitrogen, and increasing the amount of mineral matter. By the use of wind breaks. By mulching. By keeping the soil in the best physical condition possible. It 1b n<ot wise to stick to the exclusive use of any one practice, but to employ various meth­ ods to maintain the fertility of the orchard soils. HANDY FOR SPRAY MIXTURES 8trainer Allows Heavier and Coarser Particles to Wash Aside, Leav­ ing Rest Free. This strainer Is excellent for the reason that the heavier and coarser pA* tides of the spray mixture which A Brass Screen. do not go through are washed down to the lower edge of the sieve thus leaving the rest free for the strain­ ing of the mixture. Improving Orchards. Three years of spraying, pruning and cultivation will bring an orchard that you are ashamed of into a condition that you will be proud of. If you think of setting out an or­ chard and have had no experience, better hire a good man to show you how. If you can get a man from your state experiment station you will. In­ deed, be fortunate. If not, then try to get the man who grows the best fruit in your country. Buying Trees. The Inexperienced planter thinks he is getting a bargain when he buys trees three or four years old, but ex­ perience will show that yearlings are better and he should never plant any­ thing over two years old. Always buy clean, straight trees with Bhort sterna, and even then do not be'afraid to prune before plant- ins. SET OUT STRAWBERRY PUNT 8everal Methods In General Usa, but Matted---Row System Seema Best --Keep Weeds Down. There are several methods of plant* Ing in general use, which may be mod­ ified to suit the planter. The method which seems best adapted to ordinary conditions in the matted-row system. In the spring, when the land is in good condition to work, harrow smooth and mark out rows four feet apart and as long as possible. Then set the plants at 18 or 24-inch intervals In the rows, and cultivate often enough to keep the weeds out and the soil loose until September, when, if the plants are vigorous growers, the run­ ners should be about six inches apart It is desirable to train the runners the long way to the rows, putting out plants that crowd. In ordinary plant­ ing trowel or spade is used to set the plants. A spade is an easy Implement to open the ground with. Strike It into the ground and work it back and forth, draw out the spade, spread the roots of the plant, and set It so the crown comes Just to the surface of the ground. Firm the soil well about the roots of the plant As scon as possible after setting the plants, cul­ tivation should commence, and It should continue at frequent Intervals till fall. Keep the weeds down and the top soil loose. If the runners get too thick, cut out part of them, leaving about six inches between them. Run­ ners may be encouraged to root by putting an inch or two of soil over each one near the end CiJURCK LIGHTED mm NoVel Method Employed ta lllumlnata Sacred Edifice Near Birming­ ham, England. Possibly one of the most lovel methods of providing lighting for a church is that employed at the old Cosely church, situated a few miles out from Birmingham, England. About 600 feet from the church is the mouth of a disused coal mine, around which are huge piles of tail­ ings. Upon one of these a steel tower 60 feet high is erected and a windmill 18 feet In diameter installed. At the base of the tower In a small house is an electric generator which is run by the mill. The current thus generated feeds 27 lamps In the church, two in the chapel, two In the vestry; operates a motor for pumping the pipe organ, and also lights 30 lamps in the reo- tory. A storage battery in the rectory is a part of this unique lighting plant. DRAINAGE FOR FLOWER POT So Arranged That 8talning of Wood­ work of Porches by Dripping Wa­ ter Is Prevented. The staining of woodwork on porches and posts caused by the drip­ ping of water from flower pots can be prevented in the following man­ ner: Make fl zinc or galvanized tray of Suitable shape in Which to set the pots, as shown in the Illustration. Solder a tube for the overflow, or n Flower Pot Drain. dripping, on one side of the tray. Have the tube long enough to clear the post or part of the porch where the flower pot is set The tube may be placed to the rear so it cannot be seen from the street. If desired. Place some small pieces of wood beneath the tray to allow the passage of air. thus preventing moisture. The tray can be made in any shape to conform to the shape of the pots. ' OFF YEARS WITH CHERRIES Much Trouble Caused by Pickers Who Gather Next Year's Buds--Clip­ ping 8hears Best. Watch your pickers uu the bearing years and you will learn why soma cherries, especially Early Richmond, bear so shyly every other year. Cher­ ries are picked with stems on, and In picking St wlii be observed that where this stem Is left on a cluster of next year's buds comes off with the cher­ ries. The picker is really picking two crops at once--this year's and the next. Instead of tearing these stems from the trees have them use a pair of clipping shears, or else take the cherry from the stem in picking. One careless picker can ruin your next crop quite easily. Pickers may com­ plain of the slow work in clipping, but Insist on it that you, not they, are the sufferers by their careless work. PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA "A few days after birth we noticed an Inflamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in his eyes, ears and scalp. For sight weeks he was bandaged from h«ad to foot He could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced It chronic eczema. He is a very able physician and ranks with the best In this locality, nevertheless, the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered. Ha was losing flesh so rapidly that we be­ came alarmed and decided to try Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment "Not until I commenced using Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment could we tell what he looked like, as we dared not wash him, and I had been putting ona application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but since we have been using Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much hair as ever. Four weeks after we began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was entirely cured. I don't believe anyone could have eczema worse than our baby. "Before we uBed the Cuticura Rem­ edies we could hardly look at him, he ^as such a pitiful sight He would fuss until I would treat him, they semed to relieve him so much. Cuti­ cura Soap and Ointment stand by themselves and the result they quick­ ly and surely bring is their own rec­ ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B. Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa., Feb. 20, 1911.

Settled Them. "I've a sight o' sons--thirteen alto­ gether," remarked a prosperous old farmer, "and all of 'em's done me credit save the three eldest, who sowed wild oats at a pretty rapid rate, and then came home and saddled my shoulders with the harvest. "Well, I own I was glad to see em back, and I feasted 'em, and petted 'em, and set 'em on their legs again, only to see 'em skedaddle off afresh when things had slowed down, with all the cash they could lay hands on. "That thereabouts sickened me, so I called the rest of 'em together and said: " 'There's ten of you left, and if any of you 'ud like to follow t'other three I won't try to stop you. But under­ stand this, though there may be a few more prodigal sons, there'll be no more fatted calves. I've killed the last of 'em!'

Practice clean cultivation In the or­ chard. A grape vine should bear ,only a limited number of clusters. No other fruit plant requires so careful pruning as the grape vine. Poultry manure should be freely used for both fruits and vegetables. There is danger of sunscald if too many large branches are removed in June. Set the chrysanthemums where they can be protected from cold winds and rainstorms. The apple worm 1s the larva of the codling moth, and it gets into the ap­ ple at this season of the year. You cannot raise a yovAig orchard without spraying any more than you can raise apples without spraying. San Jose scale, codling moths, cur- culios and other pests rob us of 20 per cent, of our annual $135,000,000 fruit crop. Young grapes will bear some fruit the second season after planting if they make a good growth and are otherwise well cared for during tha first growing season.
