cures the earnest attention of
the wanderer by the way of
sales. The "further reduction"
legend Is no fairy story, but a solid
and adorable fact, and sacrifices
which may be labelled alarming by
the sacrificers hold no terrors, but ex

The Heroine of the Sale.
The cotton frock has been the her
oine of the sale of fashion, and we
have grown so wise In Its manipula
tion that Its unllned simplicity bears
uninjured the weekly attacks of the
most virulent washerwoman. Zephyr
and linen are the chosen varieties
dedicated to the thrifty, whilst the
prodigal )s devoted to Madeira work
effected In white or color on a white
ground, and Imitations of this flourish
successfully In economical circles
The conventional style of the Inex
pensive "tub gown" a phrase well
borrowed from the ubiquitous and In
structive American boasts a skirt
with a panel at the back and the

front, a waist In Its most normal posi
tion and a kimono bodice centered
with a piece of embroidery, a trim
ming re-appearlng round the low col
lar and at the hern of the sleeves.
Further embellishments are supplied
by the black tie with tasselled ends
and the black patent leather belt; the
black note being struck again by the
black shoes worn with stockings to
match the frock, and the black hat of
net, tulle or lace gathered and frilled
and garnished with a small bouquet
of mixed flowers such as rosebuds,
heartsease and forget-me-nots, a hap
py union which permits alliance to
dresses of any color.
An Old Style Revived.
The Introduction of black velvet
with cotton or muslin dresses may
claim the adjective novel, although
definitely It Is but a revival from a
mode popular scarcely a century ago.
However, here It Is again, and wel
come, too. In auch Instances as the
white crepe dress, with a skirt drap
ery overhanging a hem of black vel
vet, or a belt of black velvet putting
In Its appearance on a short-walsted
red and white striped pique, or a lin
ing of black velvet to a white chip hat
wreathed with pink barley. Another
revival Is the colored taffeta coat
renchlog to the waist and bordered
with a gathered frill and worn over
a white muslin frock. To be rure, the

Concerning Coats.
Long and short coats are much
worn on such occasions, made of dia

choice. The long coat of black net

may be answered either In Tuscan

favored method In millinery, which
will, however, shortly be obliged to
moderate Its transports better to suit

whole, I should say that wings fly to
the top of the poll. The owl (sJc)
made of yellow heron's feathers Is
perched on many of the new model
hats made of Tuscan-tinted straw
bound with black straw, or lined with
black Tagal; and twin, buff-colored
owls may be seen solemnly contem

narrow high-crowned black hat lined
with buff-colored nlnon bound with
black velvet
Novelties In Hats.
Amongst the novelties which are
suffering reductions at the sales are
hats entirely made of broderle an
glaise. The brim of these bears a
frill, and the crown Is decorated at
the aide with wings formed of the
embroidery. Feathers cf lace are j
popular circumstances, too, and very
cleverly these are contrived, with the I
center bone culled from the natural
wing and the lace softly frilled
on
either side of this. The new combina
tion for hats Is felt and straw, the
former being lined wltv the latter.
These I have only met In white trim
med with a scarf of white gauze or a
drapery of yellow lace. Then they
look their best completed with a lace
veil. Dark veils of mole, grey and
brown chiffon have also a consider
able vogue on white hats.
For Traveling.
Traveling coats which may do their
duty decoratlvely are now engaging
the attention of the authorities who
have well found some light, soft, re
versible tweeds of vicuna tendency.
The most triumphantly smart of these
are of deep coffee color Interwoven
with a dull Saxe blue lining, which
serves to make cuffs and collar, while
no other trimming Is found necessary
beyond the large and convenient but
tons, and the best of shapes fasten
liberally over to the side and the
front, and the back hangs quite
straight, fitting very closely to the
figure, the sleeves being of most lim
ited width.

white linen and spotted muslin over

that the wily "Richard" who once
made- himself hoarse shouting "A
Horse, a Horse, my Kingdom for a
Horse." wanted a good one.
Richard had Just killed five Rlcta
monds, or thought he had. and was
looking for another when his horse
was killed under htm, and when he
uttered his memorable words. Yes,
he wanted a horse and he wanted one
badly enough, but, he wanted a good
one.
A good horse was what he wanted,
good horses are what we all want, and
It Is only the large breeder who can
really tell us, how many bad horses
he breeds, for one good one that he
sells. This Is In large measure due
to haphazard methods In breeding;
breeders are not careful enough In
the selection of their parent stock, nor
do they take pains enough to ascertain
the peculiarities and characteristics of
the families from which the parent
stock comes.
In the trotting horse everything has
been neglected for speed, and In the
thoroughbred In this country, nothing
but this element has been considered;
the result Is too well known to be re
capitulated. Notwithstanding this no
body seems to try to remedy the de
fects that this near slghtedness has
produced. There Is not 'one trotting
horse In a thousand whose anatomical
formation, physical and constitutional
soundness, will permit him to become
a 2:10 trotter, nor Is there one race
horse In the same number that ran
gallop a mile In first class company
with any chance of winning, for the
lame reason.
Breeders no not give sufficient care
to individuality, size. bone, substance,
1 and soundness; they never think of
temper or temperament and only con-
slder speed, which, although Inherited
on both sides Is useless In a weakling,

ny Mil. LRU ruvtsi
If there Is not a perfectly comfort
able poultry house on the farm, one
should be planned and provided this
summer, at least before cold weather
sets In, for It Is poor planning to put
off providing a warm poultry house
until the time arrives for Its use. A
comfortable poultry house need not be
a costly one nor a particularly warm
one. Every poultry house should have
two rooms with a tight partition be
tween them. If It Is build In this way,
the flock may be crowded Into one
room when very cold weather comes,
and the beat of their bodies will keep
the room warm. A hen does not feel
the cold as quickly as a man does, for
her blood Is five per cent, warmer nat
urally, and If she ran sleep where
there Is no draft blowing on her she
will be very comfortable In a room In
which the temperature runs as low as
10 to 12 degrees below the freezing
point.
