For Hot
' . ' '
When the sun strengthens and
blazes in the sky and heat becomes a
factor to reckon with in dress, and
everything else, millinery must be cool
looking or it will fail to be attractive.
All white or combinations of white
with black, give us the crispest and
best effects for the dog days. But
white set off with a bit of scarlet,
deft blue or leaf green is smart and
effective also, and may be chosen in
stead of white with black.
Black for day time wear is not cool
looking except when made of the thin
est fabrics, like lace and net. The big
black hats of hair braid or pyroxyline
are lacy in texture and the admiration
and the darling of the summer girl's
heart. This season they belong to the
"mystery" class; those hats that come
down over the head, veiling the eyes
and showing the profile from one side
only. The corday hats of net and lace
CHARMING LINGERIE GOWN
Exceedingly Pretty Dress Eminently
Suitable for Garden Party or
River Wear.
A very charming lingerie gown has
a smartly cut skirt tucked flounce,
upon which appears a row of van
dyked insertion, the insertion being
continued at the top of the flounce in
the same form, and appearing at in
tervals upon the skirt, the center im

mediately below the knee being beau
tifully embroidered. The bodice has
a collar of Valenciennes lace, inser
tions of which appear in dainty design
upon the bodice and upon the long
sleeves and waist belt, the center of
the bodice being embroidered to
match the skirt. This is an exceeding
ly pretty and useful model, and is
eminently suitable for garden party or
river wear. This model is the one il
lustrated above.
Effective Sofa Pillows.
An effective and easily made sofa
pillow for a summer home is made
in oblong shape, 14 by 20 inches.
The pillow is covered with plain
heavy weave crash in ecru or gray.
Two inches from each end are bands
of flowered cretonne three inches
wide crossing the pillow. These bands
are edged on both sides with narrow
eeru lace applied flat.
Another variation had the body of
the pillow of flowered chintz or cre
tonne with bands of figured ecru lin
en Euch as is used for furniture cov
ering. The ends of this pillow have a
two-inch wide Unen laco in ecru tints.
or those made on the "helmet" shapes i
have captivated as many as the big ;
drooping picture hats.
A lovely hat for the hot weather is
shown here made of dead white chip,
overlaid with black chantilly lace. A
grouping of four immense roses in
tulle and silk is mounted across the
front, they are almost colorless with
a blush of pale pink at the edges of
some of the petals. The effect is of i
millinery as light as air.
A pretty sailor for practical wear is
trimmed with white wings and a coro
net of plaited ribbon across the front.
The shape is a Milan in the natural
pale yellow of the finished hat. All
the trimming is pure white and a
crisp satin faced ribbon is chosen for
making the plaiting.
A floating washable lace veil is
the thing generally worn with these
sailors.
ART IN WEARING OF SASH
Height and Breadth Can Be Increased
or Toned Down by Draping
of Sash.
There is a great deal of art in the
wearing of a sash. One can increase
one's height or one's breadth, adorn a
plain gown, tone down an elaborate
one, give a touch of distinction to
one's whole appearance, simply by the
way in which the sash is draped and
adjusted.
Try wearing the sash in shawl
style over the shoulders, caught by a
stitch in back and tucked under the
girdle, to fall in diagonal lengths to
just above the ankles.
Or wind it twice around the waist,
like a girdle; cross it in front and
fasten with a knot at the sides of
the skirt below the knees.
Then tVve is the Scotch tartan ef
fect, especially attractive with a plaid
scarf, where there is a broad band
over the left shoulder, a narrow
draped one over the back and the
right, and a knot at the watst on the
left side, so that the sash falls in a
broad width almost to the bottom of
the frock.
The adjustment of the sash may
well have reference to the conceal
ment of some defect in the garment
it cover?—a tiny tear, perhaps, or an
ineradicable stain. It should empha
size the good points of the figure and
hide the bad. That is why the old
fashion of the stiff bow at the back
was so bad; it made every woman
look stout.
Give a little thought to the draping
of your sash, and half your battle for
beauty of appearance is won.
The Dainty Negligee.
Dainty negligees appeal to most
women and when these pretty gar
ments can be made at home without
much trouble they are especially in
teresting. In one model seen recent
ly the material was fine white cross
bar dimity and might, have been cut
by a simple long kimono pattern. The
neck was finished with a large shawl
collar of persian lawn and Valen
ciennes insertion, and the large flow
ing sleeves were In the same lingerie
effect. Itoth sleeves and collar were
edged with a lace frill. A casing of
the lawn was sewed on the gown at
• short waist length and was threaded
1 with pink ribbons which tied in the
front at the ends of the deep collar.
i
i Tulle Roses.
i A charming trimming on a pink silk
s evening dress seen recently consisted
' of a cluster of five roses, formed of
pink tulle, with green tulle stems
112 twisted over thin wire, sewed to the
- left side of the low neck. The effect
- was exceedingly attractive, ana
- showed again the value of the little
i touches to raise a gown from the com
. raonplace.

WAGON BED CONVERTED
INTO DIFFERENT USES
Agriculturist Hfis Often Found It Hardship to Be Obliged
to Buy or Build Number of Vehicles
Required on Farm,
A convertible wagon bed which can
be changed into IB different kinds of
bodies for different uses around a
farm, without adding to it or taking
from It a single piece, has been de
signed and is undoubtedly the most
radical improvement made in farm
wagons for a decade, says Popular Me
chanics.
In a few minutes it can be trans
formed from a hay rack into a wagon
for carrying live stock, and with equal
quickness it can be converted into a
vehicle for carrying a large number of
passengers who can be provided with

The remarkable versatility of the
new wagon bed is secured by hinged

is put upon these pieces when heavy

RIDDING FARM
OF GRASSHOPPER
Favorite Remedy, Recommended
By Colorado Agricultural
College Is Arsenic
Bran Mash.
(By S. ARTHUR JOHNSON, Colorado
Agricultural College.)
In spite of the fact that a great
deal of work has been done by exper
iment stations on grasshoppers, no
royal road to control has yet been
found. Each attack has to be con
sidered on its own merits and relief
sought through the most promising
channel.
One of the favorite remedies Is ar
senic bran mash. This Is made by
mixing one pound of white arsenic
with 25 pounds of bran. The ar
senic is so near the color of the
flour in the bran that It is not easy to
tell when the mixing is well done. To
overcome this difficulty, the arsenic
may first be collected by adding a lit
tle dry paint.
After the bran and arsenic are well
mixed they should be moistened with
water. Putin just enough to make
the particles stick together. This
mixture should be scattered where

The Illustration shown herewith is
from a bulletin of the Ontario De
partment of Agriculture and shows i
how the water table of the soil de
pends on the location of drains. If in
a field that is underdrained three feet
deep a number of holes are dug it
would be observed after a heavy rain
that in those nearest the drains no
water would remain. In the hole sit

C would hold considerable water for
a few days.
In a clay in fairly good condition it
will be found that the slope of tli6
water table is about 1 foot in 25, in
loam 1 foot in about 33. The illus
tration represents a clay soil with
drains A and B 100 feet apart. Wells
are dug 12.5 feet apart. At the end
of 48 hours after a heavy rain the
waver will stand about as indicated
by zig-zag lines, in a gradient of about
1 in 25, and hence will be two feet

The agriculturist has often found It;
a hardship to be obliged to buy or build
a number of wagons for the multifari
ous requirements incident to the op
eration of a farm. The wagon that
could serve to carry boxes or cratecj
vegetables and berries to market
would not be of any use when haying
time came around. When it was neces
sary to carry calves or live stock, still
another wagon must be called into
service.
While reapers, threshers, and other
i farm implements have been continually
' improved, the farm wagon has ro

haps the fact that the automobile has

served to overshadow the humble beast

I the insects are invading a garden or
potato patch, it is well to scatter the
! bran mash about the borders. In
j the fields of alfalfa or grain, the
I bran should be scattered where the
grasshoppers congregate on ditch
banks and dry places. All the in
sects will not find and eat It, but many
will and often the crop can be fairly
well protected. The writer has never
used this preparation against young
grasshoppers, but some farmers state
that the crops may be completely pro
tected by its use, while others claim
that they will not eat It.
Of course, it will not do to scatter
his substance where chickens will
be likely to pick it up, and none of
the mixture must be left where do
mestic animals are apt to get it or
be fed from the vessel.

feed by rooting and thb exercise will

feet of drained 801 l over A and B, but
only one foot at X. Capillarity and
soil resistance to water flow play an
important part In holding the water
highest half way between the drains,
and the gradient 1 in 25 represents
their combined strength in clay,
hence after this gradient is reached
drainage becomes very, very slow, and
the water table stands In this irregu
lar shape until lowered by evaporation
from the soil and plants. But during
the months of April, May and some
times June, when the rains supply at
the surface all the water needed for
evaporation, none is drawn from be
low for this purpose, hence during the
early months of growth the water
stands as indicated by the dotted line

remedy the defect, either to dig A

In a volume all by Itself revealed to a
persistent city shopper the thought
and money that are expended on the
furnishing of dolls' houses. Book
stores had not the story in a single
volume, but in a department store
one young woman interviewed had re

department and was able to contribute
a helpful hint.
"I think," she said, "you can find it
in one of the dolls' houses downstairs."
Curiosity had by that time become
a sauce to literature, so the shopper
hurried downstairs to inspect the doll
houses. Three of the most expensive
houses contained libraries consisting
of a score of diminutive books and
each book contained a child's story
complete. One of them was"The
