A Question Which In of Special Interest

one of serge, cheviot or covert cloth for
cool days, and one of linen, Russian
crash or other wiry material that looks
like, hair cloth, or perhaps white duck,
for the hot weather. The skirts mint
not be too wide, for unnecessary full
ness is not only annoying, jus it blows
back into the wheel if there is the
slightest wind, but also is very ugly and
ungraceful. The fullness must be quite
at the back, and over the hips the skirt
must fit closely. The flare must 1m*
around the bottom of the skirt only,
ami in the. wash materials this is
gained not only by the cut, but also by
turning up a deep hem on the outside,
and stitching it through with several
rows of machine stitching. The short
jackets, either with loose fronts or
tight fitting like waists, opening at the
neck with narrow revers, are the pret
tiest patterns after all. Hut tlu* Eton'
jacket is the most useful on account
of being m> light that it can be carried
on tin* handlebar if it is not desired to
wear it. When the Eton jacket is used
the back must Im» cut long enough to
almost hide the Wit of tin* skirt, and

their heavy costumes, a« they contend
that it is so much more pliable and
hangH better. This cloth is alwjiys ex
pensive and the handsome costumes
made of it lire rarely to Is* had under
$50. This includes the waist or coat
lined with silk. Then* is a great discus
sion as to whether light or durk cloth is
Wtter. The dark shows, of course, ali
dust, but somehow looks more becom
ing and less conspicuous, so that the
choice is simply a mutter of js*rsoiml
taste. In the linings there are some
marvelous fabrics. One which looks

still better, spend the day, eat a meal away

the way some people manage. Klin really
tliinks the cause of so much trouble among
poor people is that they are Improvident,

They do not seem to k ow how. Instead ot
getting bolts of cotton early in the nprlng

stood so much hard treatment, A few
years ago no farmer in the south would
admit that cotton ooulfl be grown at a
less cost, than 0 or 8 cents per pound,
and.there are plenty Of men today who
grow it at this cost, or even more, where
they are ‘'oarrled” by a merchant.
OolUnln the future will be grown by
those who farm Instead of plant, nnd
who work upon a cash basis. The day
is gone by when men could lake a piece
of land to crop in cotton and borrow
money to carry them through the sea
son, and then make a living profit.
Two years ago, when cotton was at Its
lowest price, I addressed a meeting of
South Carolina formers, and took oc
casion to say that, In my opinion, the
low price of cotton was the greatest
blessing that lind befallen the southern
farmer. That, while temporarily, of
course, a hardship, It would In the end
he found to be the only thing thaL would
pevelop true farming in the cotton belt.
One old farmer was so disgusted at my
words that he left the meeting, saying
that he did not want to listen to any
more such foolishness. Last summer 1
addressed the same audience al the same
place, and seeing the same gcnllemim
present, I ctlled his attention to what
I had said two years before. The neigh
borhood had gone into tobacco oil a
general scale since the first meeting, and
there had grown up a more general in
terest in farming among the Intelligent
farmers of that section. More peaB were
being grown, and a far greater diversity
of crops was fast taking the place of the
one-crop system. I said, without dis
sent, that my first statement was correct,
and that in forcing the attention of our
farmers to the culture of other crops,
the low price of cotton had been a bless
ing in disguise.
Now it is common to meet with men
who know that they can gr< w cotton at
a cost of *1 1-2 cents per pound, and some
who think they can grow it for less. < >n
our col'ege farm it was grown .at an
actual cost of Ii 1-2 cents per pound, and
by student labor. But the men who
require three acres to grow a bale can
not grow It at any such cost, and there
are thousands of men all over the cotton
belt who are in j list such a condition.
And these are generally the men who do
not believe In book farming nor in agri
cultural papers, or the negro croppers
who arc carried by merchants al a per

If the cropping system of the south
could b«: abolished, and the croppers
were to work for cash wages for busi
ness-like farmers, the general size of the
total crop could be kept down to a pay
ing figure, while the Individual farmer
would make more cotton on a smaller

Draperies.
Woman's Interests tells us that nothing
makes a house look more up to date than to
tiave the windows draped tastefully accord
ing to the prevailing fashion, it used to
bo considered all right to have Uio parlor
aurtains extremely nice, those Id the back
parlor or silting room not quite as good, tlie
sleeping rooms a little cheaper and so on
ill a downtvard scale. The shades on rollers
were also ol varying hue and quality. Now
it is differeut and the Bliades must all lie
alike from the attic to the basement, wlier
ever there Is a window big onoiigh lo have
shade. This uniformity has been extended
somewhat to draperies, amt one of the
prettiust houses that 1 know of is titled with
rutiled muslin curtains over Bie entire
house. Even tlie kitchen windows are
draped in possilry not ns good a qiialny, lo
match the remainder of the house. The
mistress does tier own work and a fly
scarcely looks inside of her well screened
kitchen.
Wlille every house cannot boast ol iiiusiln
mlli-tH at the kitchen windows, more uni
formity ought to he shown in window drap
ery. Dotted or white muslin with fluted
rutiles ul the same material or coarse fish

, arc pretty. Grosi them well at the top
and tie them buna from the fine where tlie
upper and lower sash meet. This leaves
Bie lower Irnlf of tho wimlow open for light
and view and Is ilie most approved way for
draping the windows ol a Country or village
house. In more pretentious mansions
iraperies like these nre put directly against
the sash, Bleu conus tlie shades and over
these Bin other and more expensive lace
draperies.
