One Really New Ctyta. Will the new welkins suit "take" or won't It? That's the question that confronts tho woman who Is thinking about her fall stilt, and who has been viewing the first tailored mcdcls, Just dis played. This now model Is French In effect, and whllo decidedly original, is a lit tle too bizarre for conservative taste. It consists of a pleated skirt In ankle lengths and a long, perfectly straight coat which reaches to within 10 Inches of tho edge of tho skirt. ' Some of tho coats havo locse belts, but tho effect Is of a straight, shape less garment, very like a man's over coat. There nre big pockets in them, too, Just like a man's, and the suits nre made of English suitings such as are used for men's clothes. Collar and small turned-up cuffs are of velvet, In given or ar.cthrr vivid color, ad dl in; just tho right touch of Biiyety to the suit. These are the choicest models yet fdiown, but whether my lady will fancy their extreme originality remains to bo seen. New Haven Register.

Lady V'tolat Grevlllu, In London Qraphlo. Lace Uocd In Many Wnyse. We use lace as flounces, two or three on the skirt, cs as Insertions to form berthas, or as entire cloaks. It is best suited to evening and to fete gowns and indoor dresses, for lace easily spoils in contact wit the Btreots. There are creeping Into wear In England high dressy gowns, which hitherto havo been more wanted abroad. They are neither tea gewns nor dinner gowns, nor even bridgo gowns, and yet they are worn for all three. They are nearly always costly, and In them lace plays a prominent part. Wo ore coming bacjc to silk, of ton trimmed with ruchlngs of the ma terial, but when Intended for dressy wear It 'is made with a gocd dual of lace. Nowhere does this fabric show so well as on light tinted summer gowna. Thoy had great favor In the winter, and now thoy come vory much In evidence for the daytime, says the Queen. We are returning In such dresses to the bayayeuso. made in mua- llu and laco, which can bo cleaned ana put back again. People who possess old lace should always wear It; but It Is too costly for the multitude, who need not, however, despair, for there is so much nnd such admlrnble Imi tations which demand a connoisseur to distinguish them from the original. Tho transparent laco trimmed dresses are very fascinating, and bo are the flowered voiles and delaines, but they do not require so much trimming, nnd gowns of these only seem to need lace fcr the yokes, but nil havo to be made up over silk foundations. New York Telegram. Ladies Try Gardening. I cannot picture a plrasanter em ployment for a lady than thnt of gar dening If she does not mind hard work. It is a very refined occupation and brings her In contact with nice things. A garden "is the purest of human pleasures. It Is the greatest refresh ment tc the spirits of mnn," sojs Ila con. There nre many ladles with limited means who have to cbooso a profes sion. There are many who are un fit for indoor life and could not en dure the stuffy atmosphere of a type writer's office. They would not have sufficient freedom If they tcok a post ns companion to a lady, and If they have no gift for teaching they would not like the life of a governess. To all these, if they love outdoor life, tho profession of lady gardener will ap peal. The lady gardener must not think t!;r.t she can nt once earn a living. It will take some years of arduous train ing before fho Is competent to manage oven a small garden. Most of the colleges for teaching la dles ngrlcu'ttire and gardening were opened In 1P00 nnd 1901. The train ing they give lasts about two years, and consequently there nre at the present moment a considerable number of ladles who havo been through a college course nnd consider themselves qualified to take posts as head gar deners or single-handed gardeners In private gardens. Having learned how to plan a good svstem of work the lady is likely to find employment In any of the three following capacities: (1) As head gardener, where 10 or more men nre kept, sho would super Intend and direct all work In the flow er garden, kitchen garden and un der glass. (21 A Indy should be able to worlt herself a small flower garden of one acre, provided no vegetables are grown, as they need hard mamml la brr. With tho assistance of a lad when pressure of work occurs she should he able herself to mow and roll the lawn, dig tha borders nnd keep the plnre perfectly tidy. (2) For the-unamblllous lady thero Is an opening If she enrcs' to attend to villa gardens in a country town or In a Kubiirb of london. She can also go out to private houses to arrange flowers for dinner pnrtles. The idea or employing women gar deners Is received favorably by most people and many nre willing to try how It nnswers. It Is greatly to be hoped, however, that tho pioneer of a new profession will fully appreciate the importance of thoroughly under standing every branch of her work he fore she asks for n salary. Although she can demand tho same pay as a man gardener she cannot work as quickly ns he does. She Is not so mus cular, and nlso she is impeded by her dress. She can only economise time by her cleverly thought-out system and methodical planning. Francea Q. Wolsley, In the London Outlook.

After sweet potatoes hove been par boiled and sliced lengthwise they should be sprinkled lightly with white popper, given a dash of salt and placed In tho oven for a few moments. Then they nre to have a dressing of egg and bread crumbs poured over them, nnd put below the flame of a r.ns range, where they can broil. Minced pnrsley Is to be strewn over them just before they are sent to tha table. Wild Grape Marmalade. Take the wild green grapes, cut open with a small Knife and remove the seeds. Allow a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Put the grapes In tho preserving kettle with a little water and boll 20 minutes. Add the sugar and cook until a drop poured In a cold saucer will hold Its shape. Remove at onco and pour In cups or glasses.

Now remove the snucepnn from the stove and add tho egg yolk, well beaten. Household Hint. A tablospoonful of sugar added to the water for basting roast beef will give a rich brown color as well as a fine flavor. Old stockings cut down tho seam make excellent cloths for polishing furniture and floors, as well as soft Iron holders. In order to have potatoes always white, the kettle In which they are cooked should never be used for any other purpose. In flavoring cakes do not use lomon Juice if a light cake is desired, since the acid sets free the carbon dioxide before baking. Tho waxed lining paper to cracker boxes is excellent to wrap around small cakes and loaves of bread. It Is fine to clean flatlrona with also. Eggs covered with bulling water and allowed to stand five minutes are more nutritious and digestible than when boiled rapidly for three minuted. Roll Jelly cake can be more easily rolled If the edges of the cake arc carefully trimmed off, as they, being stlffer, cause the cake to break on tha edge. To remove soot from a carpet, sprinkle plenty of fine salt over it and sweep along the grain of the carpet. Repeat until every trace of soot Is re moved.

Frequently persons Inquire bow to raise cucumbers, squashes or melons so as to avoid the ravages of the striped beetle (dlabtotlca vittutn). During the last ten years I have bad no trouble with the beetle. This is what I have been doing: When I plant cucumbers, which are planted iu hills Ave or six seeds to the hill, I stick into each bill two or three small onions. The beetles nlways give my cucumber or melon patch a wide berth. There Is no loss; the cucumbers grow Just as well ns if the onions were not there and when the encumbers are done bearing I get several messes of good onions. J. W. F. Coponhonver, Jn The Epltnmlst.

A plan for doing this is shown In the Illustration. A gnte is made of proper material reaching from the manger to the end of stall. The post of this gnte as the end Is made about a foot longer 'thnn the lower rail and a bole Is made In the floor through which this post is slipped when put In position nnd thus makes the gate or fence firm. At the manger end the gato is fastenel by a pair nf gate hinges. Two stitt sticks are fastened to the Joist nbovo with a bolt, one over the manger end nnd one over the other end. Iu the lower end of each of these sticks a notch is cut which comes over a staple and holds it, the fence, firm. When tho fence Is not in use It may be lifted from the binges uud put away and the sticks folded up against the Joists. Tho lllustratiou shows the points mentioned dourly.

Hut, as a rule, farmers are prone to give more work on some locations than Is neces sary under certain conditions. It Is a waste of time and labor to cultivate two acres If a larger crop can be se cured, proportionately, on one. One acre mny not support a farmer, but the rule is applicable to larger areas. He should not cultivate fifty acres If he can secure better result from twenty live. It will pay Ii i m to realize seventy-live bu'hels of corn, or twenty-live bushels of wheat perncre, from twenty live acres, while lie may lose money if he secure fifty bushels of corn or twenty bushels of wheat per acre, from fifty acres. It Is not the gross amount of produce be receives that pays, but I lie net. It requires uioro time to spread a given amount of manure upon two acres than upon one, nnd, so far ns cultivation is concerned, the cost is double. Now, nil this extra work may bo thrown away if the farmer can, by lessening the nren, devote more time and attention to n smaller space. There will bo less hurry, more thorough eultU vntlon, greater facility In harvesting, fewer laborers and better condition of the working stock. It Is In tho correct application of labor that the profits are derived. It may be wasted or mis applied, and thus cause bankruptcy instead of prosperity. Large I.tttrrs There Is a wide difference In the bank neeouut of the breeder whose sows bring and raise him ten or twelve pigs at a litter and tl.e one whose sows only average four or five pigs at ii litter. Hence it is materially to the Interest of the pig raiser to discard ull sows thnt do tint bring u good sized litter und raise them. It Is true that this is not such an important consid eration with the professional breeder who raises pigs to sell ut fancy prices to others; because if his sow only brings four or five pigs they should be very fine ut weaning time nnd possibly one or two of tho litter command an extra fancy prlco as a show pig or herd bender, but for the average breeder who looks to the pork barrel, the rock upon which the hog business Is founded, for his dividends, then the amount of pigs raised is u very im portant Item to bliu. If tho brood sow be well fed while suckling, a lifter of ten should at weaning time be Just ns luro framed as a litter of five, though the smaller Utter may average more flesh. Figuring ou ten nt a litter and two litters a yejir and the pigs ut slaugh tering tlmo to be worth say 10 each, theu there would bo a difference of $101) lu favor of the litter of ten over the litter of five. And on a bord of five sows foOO. True, It takes more to rear and fat ten the larger Utter, but not twice as much, while tho gross value Is double.
