CLEVELAND, WHITE CO., GA„ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1SU0. NO. 40 BICYCLE COSTUMES. v A Question Which In of Special Interest to Wonieu. Bicycling is to be mbre tlu* fashion than ever at^ the watering places, ami ut least two bicycle costumes must needs lx? provided for summer wear— 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 must. W fitted in at the side scums so that, it has a neat, trim look. The tail ors prefer the double-faced cloth for 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 like, a covert cloth Is only 15 cents a yard, makes up very well ami launders . well.

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 ccntagethala Wall street man would not pay for a call loan. 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 area, and make more money from the crop, grown solely ils a money or surplus crop In a rotation, which would provide for all his cx|«nsc.w . tfMRTVItil for nun's trt; to ft oM thaupbonfol of vanilla.

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.

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.
