PARIS. We have arrived at that period of the Paris season known an I .a Grande Semaine. All the most brilliant entertainments are be ing given at the present moment and an every side one finds the most cost ly and exquisite toilettes displayed. I -a Grande Semaine is really the her lld of the end of the summer season in Paris, but then it is also the herald Df the birth of another and equally Im portant season, that of the chateau par ties and of the fashionable seaside re ports. I have seen some really lovely cos tumes lately, which were specially ere ited for the "Grand Steeple," the race meeting wnich the Parlslennes call La lournee deg Hales; and on looking at them in detail I was more than ever struck by the rapidity with which flounces and ruches have crept Into popular favor. On many of the very newest models we now And one or two Bounces on the skirt but as yet these flounces are skimpy and so shaped that they fall into straight lines and out line the figure almost as accurately as a plain tight skirt might do. And for such dresses as these taffeta Is a fa rorlte material. The skirt with the triple flounce Is quaint in outline and very picturesque. The shaped flounces are mounted on a tight underskirt of thin silk or satin and the top flounce la shaped to the figure like a tunic; In fact, the impres sion given is of a skirt arranged lo three shaped tunics. The other afternoon I saw a model of this order chei Worth and the ma terial was Ivory crepe de chine inset with Irish crochet of finest quality. The shaped flounces were slightly cut up In front and each one was border ed with a deep band of crochet which bad been specially designed for the dress. There was a fichu-like ar rangement of Irish crochet over the shoulders, and underneath was a ki mono blouse of crepe de chine. This blouse was bordered by bias bands of dark green velvet, and on the collar of the fine net guimpe a touch of dull or ange was Introduced. The sleeves were quite short, barely reaching to the el bows, and the hat made to accompany the costume was a Duchess of Devon shire shape In yellow tuscan. which bad lengths of black satin and dark grew a velvet ribbons passed over the low crown and tucked away under the balr at the back, while on the wide brim, lying rather flat, was a cluster of glorious yellow roses mixed with branches of white heather. Worth Is this season using a quan tity of the finest embroidered muslins It Is possible to conceive. A great deal of it comes direct to him from India, and for evening dresses he Is -employing long lengths of the famous Indian embroidery tn gold and silver threads. This year the whole world eeems to have become "quite English, you know:" The excltemeat over the coronation In London has made English fashions and English materials stylish in Paris and It is natural that the embroideries of India, as the laces fo Ireland, should attract a good deal of attention. ' Worth Is always very much occupied with bis royal clients, and quite late ly he created a most delightful tea gown for the queen of England, In which Indian embroidery and Irish laces played an important part The groundwork of the gown was Ivory white muslin and on the hem was a deep bands of Limerick lace. The fold ed corsage was almost entirely com posed of lace, but In front at the breast was some rich embroidery and the Bleeves of the "angel" pattern, were of lace and net combined. A upple sash of pale heliotrope crepe de chine fringed In gold was wound round the waist and tied In a loose knot at the left side. This particular shade of heliotrope which seems pink in certain lights is a great favorite of the queen's, and she frequently Belects It, especially for her afternoon and evening gowns. A rarely lovely dinner gown, recent ly created in Paris for the same royal lady, was composed of palest rose mir ror velvet with a side panel of dia mond and seed pearl embroidery. There was a cloud like drapery of deep est mauve silk tulle falling over one side of the skirt and this drapery was embroidered and fringed In sil ver and crystal. The corsago was a glittering mass of embroidery, dia monds, seed pearls, silver threads and crystal beads and little wings of em broidered tulle formed the short sleeves. Redfern has recently created some lovely models for a new piece as the Comedle Krancalse which have made a sensation and which are being free ly copied for the race meetings. One dress In particular has attracted gen eral attention and It Is worth while taking special notice of It, because It Indicates a little Innovation, which Is likely to "jecome very popular. The skirt of this dress was plain and very tight fitting. In fact. It was quite like a sheath, but It was buttoned straight down the front, after the man ner of a priest' cassock, opening at the hem to show an underdress of an other color. The material of the dress ( In question was oyster white serge ; silk, and it opens over an underdress , of dull blue linen. There was a aniArt IlltU t nf Ihik hliiA 1 1 n a n I and this coatee was scalloped round the edge and piped with black satin. There was an empire sash of black sat in, finished off with heavy black tas sels, and the collar of the coatee was very wide, with a single rever. In em pire style, at the left side, both collar and rever being of white serge silk. There was an Immense Jabot of pure white tulle and the hat worn with this dress was in the Alfred Stevens style, of white rice straw with an abnor mally high crown, which was literally covered with black and white aig rettes. I have seen In Redfcrn'i show rooms several costumes which showed little coatees of a material and color differ ent from the skirts and the general ef fect was excellent. The tendencsy of the moment Is to give much more material to the skirts; but then this material Is so cleverly arranged that It falls about the figure ami dis:lava tho outline. The softest and most supple materials are employ ed and the whole success of the robe depends on Just how It Is cut and how It Is draped about the form. The gen eral use of heavy fringes and tassels gives much aid to this style of dress making. The supple materials are kept In place by the weights attach ed to them and by the fringes aud tas sels. The Paisley-patterned nlnon Is de lightful, but It needs the contrast and relief of a plain fabric, and so the sketch will show you how best this can be Introduced, In the form of an apron tunic, which wilt look well In plain nlnon In the same lovely shade of blue as the background of the pat terned under-dress.

This keeps It from mimuk of commercial fertilizers, the amount to think it does not pay to food grain under such conditions. It is possible, i however, that where this belief is hold there has been considered only the direct returns from the grain fed in milk yield alone, without reference1 to other beneficial etToots which will be mentioned later.

In this experiment the grain fed lot continued to receive the same ration on pasture that they had re ceived during the winter on dry feed. Another experiment lontjcted the same year on soiling with grass alone, and with grass and grain showed Jthat just about enough more butter fat was produced by the grain fed lot to pay for the increased cost of the grain ra tion. A net profit was made on the grain fed lot of 13.70, 8 cows for five months. The next season a similar experi ment was conducted. At no time during the season was the pasture lux uriant. A herd of sixteen cows, pure bred and registered Jerseys, was di vided into two lota of eight cows each. Lot 1 received grain as follows: Corn meal 2,600 pounds; Cotton seed meal, 1,300 pounds; Bran, 1,300 pounds. Total, 5,200 pounds. Lot 2 received no grain. The milk produced by the two lots was as follows : Lot 1, 22.628 pounds: Lot 2, 17.697 pounds. Difference, 4,9.31 pounds. It will be observed that the grain fed lot produced nearly five thousand pounds more milk than the lot getting no grain, an average daily difference of about three and one-half pounds per cow. This was enough more milk and butter fat to pay for the increased cost of the grain ration The grain fed lot gained 166 pounds live weight per cow, while the cows in the lot re ceiving no grain gained an average of 113 pounds per cow, a difference of 53 pounds per animal in favor of the grain fed lot. The question now arises whether the increase in milk flow and the gain in live weight of Lot 1 over Lot 2 would have any in fluence on the milk flow of the follow- j some soils it is certain that the effect would not be so marked as on other soils. The following conclusions regarding the questions would seem safe: 1. When cows are fed grain on pasture that is succulent and abun dant, the tendency of such feeding is to increase the yield of milk. 2. The tendency of such fowling is also to promote some increase of llesh production. 3. The quality of the milk, that is, its per cent of fat, is not materially influenced by such feeding. 4. The residual effects from such feeding are considerable, as are shown in two ways: First, in building up the system, as it were, through in crease in flesh; and second, by in creased subsequent production in the period of lactation that immediately follows. It has also been demon strated that grain fed to heifers in milk, of yet uncompleted growth, on pasture, resulted in securing a more perfect growth than when not so fed. 5. Some saving will be effected in the pasture. While the amount of such saving is not easily determined, it is generally true that it will not be quite equal to the value of the grain foil, for pasture is ordinarily relative ly cheaper than grain. 6. The resultant fertilizer from feeding grain should have a tangible value. This value will be proportion ate to the quantity of grain fed, and to the fertilizing ingredients in the same. The increase in direct milk production therefore, from feeding grain tells but a part of the benefit from such feeding, and perhaps not the most important part. In the present status of the question the following would seem to be a ju dicious course to pursue : When the pastures are succulent and abundant, low and gives It when Ironed mo gio.s Of new silk.

It seems reasonable to assume that this increased production was due to the grain fed curing the preceding year, especially in the case of the younger animals. Indeed it was plainly evident that the grain fed two-year-olds and three-year-olds de veloped into better animals than their stable mates fed no grain. Bulletin No. 16 of the North Dakota station reports as follows: Two lota of two cows each were fed grain with pasture, and pasture only, in alternating periods of two weeks. The pasture was composed of mixed tame grasses and clover and was of good quality. The grain used was bran and shorts. ! There was an inrease in the yield of ! butter fat and a small gain in flesh when the grain was fed. The gain in the butter fat yielded came from an increased milk flow, as no increase in the percentage of fat was shown. The financial statement showed a net profit of $7.60 from feeding the grain. The considerations that arise in the effort to determine whether grain should be fed or not are of ho elusive a nature that it is scarcely possible to arrive at conclusions that may be re garded as final when sitting in judg ment upon tnem. ir it were only a rr.iflii.Ail t.tr .......... . . a ... ......

Should the cows freshen during the season of late pasture as in a common practice, care should be taken that the feeding of grain be begun in ample time to pre vent checking the milk flow for the winter milking season. rASHION HINTS i h ' Ml I Li:i ; ft'ra'.'it giile-e lire cimixkIii iI n, lIH The from'-1 ovcr-iKirt, Hlll cmwil nt t... k, , particularly graceful.
