New York City.—The popularity of
the over blouse- seems to be an ever
Increasing one. and this model is so
pretty, so graceful and so simple in
one that it must appeal to every wom-
an of taste. In the illustration it is
made of crepe de chine trimmed with
taffeta, but it is adapted to many ma
terials, and would be very charming
for linen and other washable mate
rials quite as well as for silk and
wool. It can be made to match the
skirt or match the trimming on the
skirt as liked, or it can be made as an
entirely separate garment, and it con
sequently suits a great many pur
poses. The wide girdle is very be
coming, while it makes one of the
latest features and the trimming is
unusual and exceedingly smart. Very
little material is required and so lit
tle labor is involved in the making
that the model makes an exception
ally desirable one from every point of
view.
The over blouse is made in two
pieces, there being no seams what
ever. It is attached to a foundation
girdle and over this the draped one
is arranged. It can be closed at eith
er the front or the back, and the in
ner edges are faced to form the trim
ming, while the outer ones are finished
with shaped bands applied over them.
Coarser Silks.
The coarser the ribs the more fash
ionable the silk.
The New Coot.
As petticoats will not be worn the
new boot is designed to keep women’s
ankles covered when they are cross
ing the street and holding up their
gowns. It is already widely in favor.
Misses’ Three-Piece Skirt.
The three-piece skirt is one of the
prettiest variations of the circular
model. It includes the narrow front
gore, which gives the fashionable
straight lines and it falls in graceful
and becoming fold 3. This one is de
signed for young girls and is appro
priate for any skirting material,
whether the skirt makes part of a
suit or an indoor gown. It can be
trimmed with buttons as Illustrated,
with braid or with banding, or be fin
ished in any way that individual fan
cy may dictate. The buttons and sim
ulated buttonholes are, however, ex
ceedingly smart, and In the illustra
tion they are made of satin, while the
skirt itself is made of broadcloth.
The skirt consists of three pieces.
The front gore is turned under at its
edges and arranged over the circular
portions to give the box pleat effect,
and the fulness over the hips is taken
up in darts, while there are inverted
pleats at the back.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size is five and
five-eighth yards twenty-four, five and
three-eighth yards twenty-seven or
three and five-eighth yards forty-four
or fifty-two inches wide.

The Best Fertilizers for Corn
That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly in
creased by intelligent and liberal fertilization has been repeatedly
demonstrated. Large crops of good corn result from preparing the
land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed
and proper cultivation.
Virginia - Carolina
Fertilizers
will greatly “ increase your yield per acre ” of corn or any other crop.
In some cases remarkable results have been obtained.
Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes: “Words
cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead
of other companies’ goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other
brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what
1 say to be a fact. 1 made a test on five acres. I used on one half
the land your fertilizer and on the other half another company's fertil
izer, same grade; the land received the same cultivation every time.
/ kcf>t a correct account of the amount of money I got off each half
and I got S3OO more from the land on which I used Virginia Carolina
Fertilizer than I d'd off the other half. I got four times as much
torn from the land on which / used your fertilizer .”

Company for a free copy of the new 1909 Farmers’ Year-Book or
Almanac, full of the most valuable and unprejudiced information for
planters and farmers; or ask your fertilizer dealer for a copy.

Young at Seventy
Aldrich's Life Touched a Surprisingly Wide
Segment of American Literature.
Ey Ferris Creenslet
OHE annals of American poetry are a remarkable record of
longevity. The poets of our first rank, barring tragic Poe,
have lived to an honored and benignant old age. Thomas
Bailey Aldrich was no exception in the calendar of years,
yet even at three score and ten it was hard to think of age
and him together. Blond, erect, ruddy, alert, he seemed at
seventy untouched by mortality. More than Lowell even,
he was the perennial boy. And to his biographer, curiously
inquiring into the vanished days of that long singularly for
tunate life, the image that overlays all others is that of •‘Tom Bailey,” the bad
boy, who was yet “not such a very bad boy.” The exquisite lyric poet, the in
imitable story-writer, the accomplished editor, the witty, urbane man of let
ters, all take in the mind a coloring of sincerity and soundness, or mischief
and mirth, from that Portsmouth boyhood which makes his whole life seem
not only its fulfilment, but in strange sense its prolongation.
It is, then, with a certain surprise that one becomes aware of the wide
segment of American literature that his life touched. And it is precisely in
this that one prime interest of his letters lies. Through them, as through the
candid eyes of Tom Bailey, we watch the flow and ebb of the literary tides of
more than half a century. —From the Century.
