THE AMERICAN HOME. HUIT It IN Probably AfFe«'trd by tbe Apartment Iloime 11 li It* .Modern Appliance. I have no mind to harrow up the tninds of my readers with any explica tion of the miseries and mysteries that confront the average housekeeper in t lie daily maintenance of a simple but com putable existence for her family; as lor herself, an existence at all seems H struggle which at times she would gladly give over. One might define a heroine as the average American wom an who does her own housekeeping. Hut some hint of the unnatural and un happy state of affairs existing at pres tnt may be deduced from the consid eration of two economic facts. First, woman is, by nature, a home founder tind a home maker. This is not intended an assertion of personal belief, but fis a statement of scientific fact. It was woman —not man who opened the industrial world; it was woman who made the first rude dwellings, and dressed skins, and wove textiles for GIRL FOR A RAINY DAY. A Clever and Sensible Idea for the Progressive Woman 'Who "Wantß to Keep Dry. A busy woman In New York whose time Is so occupied with charity and social duties that every day finds her forced out of doors, no matter what the weather may be, has long be*-n in a dilemma over a costume that would exactly fill her Betds. The short rainy-day skirt would not do at all, for, while it would answer IP' ~ buttons and tAbi \ \ \ onoufside.; \ » V^SVSSSVS^S \ S Ki'rl* w'lTh ar>4 . // \ \on inner 3>ide. y » \ // * '» // / v \ y \ for plodding through the streets on a wet day, it was quite Inappropriate for a «o cial hour. The difference would be particularly marked if the day had cleared and the sun come out. This woman now gets over the difficulty with a clever arrangement of tabs and buttons, or rings and tapes. The tabs are more satisfactory than the tapes, and therefore ÜBed more often. There are five tabs. These have a single buttonhole at the very ends and are buttoned to the gown. Two buttons extend below them. Thus, without difficulty, the gown can be shortened and let down again to conventional length. MARTHA HOUK. clothing. It was woman, and not man, vho made the first fire, and the first utensils for cooking, and the first rude tools for industrial ends. All her ac tivities clustered about the hearth ami ministered to the home, if the woman end the work had not reacted upon eachotherso that, to-day, women should be by nature home makers and home lovers, there are still depths for the scientists <o sound in the working of heredity and of natural selection. And yet—here is my second fact —the enor mous piles of stone and brick rapidly filling the choice plots of ground in our large cities and shutting out the light of heaven with their gabled tops, are mute if not magnificent witnesses to the fact that the investment of capital Is all against the perpetuation of the separate home. The shrewd modern in vestor is willing to put hundreds of thousands against hundreds of dollars that (for his lifetime at least) women tire going to prefer the ease of the iipartment hotel to the separate house with its privacy, its own table, and, alas! its own service.

There are many novelties in neck wear this season, to be worn over shirt waists, and thick dresses as well. They are not only very fancy, but they are made of several materials, making them quite pretty enough and expen sive enough to class with the nicest of nice shirt waists. A novelty of novelties is a bow called the zouave. It consists of a fold of 7IIL£ THE ZOUAVE BOW. bright red and green silk around the neck.

LarKe (luaiitltleH of Really tiuod Hot ter Are Spoiled by Their t»e All Over the Country. A great many unseasoned butter tubs are being marketed by one or two firms, which ought to be in better busi ness, but which somehow in the com petition between them do not exercise the care they formerly manifested iu all their manufactures. Of course, it will be said of the guilty concerns that it is some one else that is turning out such fresh material, but investigations show that the concerns in question ought to be in better business if they desire to maintain any sort of reputa tion for honest, decent goods. In writ ing on this phase of the question to the New York Produce Review, a Mr. Dodge says among other things: "All the trouble that I have had in the past three years has been from sappy green wood, and the trouble can only be overcome by having the wood thoroughly dry and fit for use. There is nothing manufac tured, that is made out of wood, until the wood is properly seasoned. I see no reason why this should not follow as regards butter tubs." No reason what ever, except the rapacity and narrow greed of some of these manufacturers. It makes a great difference in the price of butter that is not packed in first class and thoroughly seasoned tubs 01 those raw and fresh. Tubs may look all right on shipment, but after the buttei has been in transit to market, the de fects become apparent and the goods are reported as off, affecting top quo tation*. Butter-makers should exer cise the greatest care in such matters, and if possible make such concerns sign a contract to make good any losses sustained through want of properly seasoned tubs. There is no excuse fot it any more than there is for any othet kind of fraud. —Prairie Farmer. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Plant out plenty of small fruits. To grow large onions from seeds sow very early.

Allow no fruit to grow on strawberry plants the first season. Pick off ul! buds and blossoms. Of the different kinds of fruit goose berries will give the best yields of any when no care is given. Pull up any weeds that may have started in the strawberry bed, but dc not disturb the mulch. Do not let the plants in the seed bed prow too thickly or they will grow tal! and spindling and be weak. One advantage with sjsring setting out of strawberry plants is that it is the surest way of securing a good stand.
