Prepared for The Southern World.
Fashion Note*.
Low heels are growing in favor
Very plain skirts are much worn.
Laces were never used more than this sea-
Strawberry is the newest shade of [esthetic
red.
It is said that the first fall dress will be
made of a single material.
Dame Fashlojt predicts that dresses will
soon be lowefin the neck thnn now.
The latest thing in handkerchiefs, is heavy
colored borders with small embroidered
edge.
Embroidery resembling lace, sewed on
with the scalloped edge turned up, is the
popular trimming this season.
Thin white dresses made with full skirts,
wide hems and plain waists, are worn over
handsomely trimmed undersuits.
Cream, white and gray ficelle lace combi
nations, appear to be the favorites for neck
lingerie, and also for diess trimmings.
Boquet pins with projecting centres for
the stem of flowers, are made of gold or sil
ver, for fastening the corsage boquet to the
dress.
Parisian laced shoes, with pointed perfor
ated toes of patent leather, on French kid
-iops t .are rapidly taking the place of but
toned boots.
Blue with brown is a fashionable contrast
of colors in imported dresses. A pale blue
foulard with dark brown figures, trimmed
with bows of brown velvet ribbon, is one of
the prettiest of the season.
A piece of wide lace basted in the neck of
a dress, and turned over like a collar, is
quite convenient as well as fashionable. It
is finished at the throat with long loops and
ends of narrow ribbon, or a neat pin.
Silver is now more fashionable for jewelry
than gold; its frost-like delicate filigree, and
rich tints accord with the profusion of lace,
and white and pale-colored toilets that
marks the present season as one of the most
artistic taste.
White square meshed wool grenadines
trimmed with Florentine lace and applique
cretonne figures, are pretty for mid-summer
dresses. The parasol, fan and poke bonnet
are of the same fabric made over a colored
lining.
The prettiest neglige dresses for summer
mornings, are of white linen lawn or thin
foulard, made in Mother Hubbard shape.
The collar and cutis are embroidered, and
the fronts are tied with satin ribbon strings
in large bows with long ends.
French Chips and Milan straws, trimmed
with long drooping plumes and Spanish
lace, are much favored by both ladies and
girls. They are lined with Spanish lace or
satin, and frequently a large bow of white
or tinted ribbon is placed upon the left side
of the hat, allowing the ribbon to extend
over the brim, ending in long loops and
streamers. Sometimes the hats are trimmed
entirely of lace, nnd again only ribbon is
used, while quite os often, ribbon, lace and
flowers arc combined in the garniture of one
hat. The latter, however, is considered bad
taste by some. The flowers used the present
-*eo?>n, are, to say the least, very attractive.
Those used mostly for dark hats, are rather
gaudy, while some used on light-colored
ones are quite dainty and modiste; conse
quently, almost any lady can suit her taste
in the selection of colors, and be fashiona
ble. Small bonnets for (fill dress are cov
ered almost completely with either lace or
flowers, and sometimes both. Tiie puffed
bindings of satin or velvet are found to be
so becoming that they are used on small
bonnets and large hats alike. A single
large bow on one side of the crown is more
stylish for large hats than a twisted scarf
surrounding the crown. It is preferred to
leave part of the crown behind quite bare of
all trimming, not even long feathers being
permitted to meet in the back.
Athalia Jaidii.
To bleach cloth, put into eight quarts of
warm water one pound of chloride of lime.
Stir with a stick a few minutes; then strain
through a bag of course muslin, working it
with the hands to dissolve thoroughly. Add
to this five bucketfuls of worm water, stir
it well and put in the muslin. Let it re
main in one hour, turning it occasionally,
that every part may get thoroughly bleached.
When taken out wash well in two waters, to
remove the lime, rinse and dry. This quan
tity will bleach twenty-five yards of yard
wide muslin. The inuslin will bleach more
evenly and quickly if it lias been thorough
ly wet and dried before bleaching.
Select a place where the soil is light and
sandy, or if the ground is all stiff, spade in
some sand or coal-dust to make it light and
open, and place the frame over it. If cut
tings of geraniums, cupheas, verbenas, or
other such plants are placed in the soil and
covered witli the frame they will soon take
root and form nice specimens, which, when
they begin to grow, may be potted and be
ready for winter. If the frame is where it
will he shaded at mid-day, all the better;
f not, tilt it a little when the sun is very
hot, to give ventilation and prevent over
heating.—American Agriculturist.
uKcnm
Spiced Grapes.—Five pounds grapes, four
pounds sugar, one pint vinegar, one table
spoonful cinnamon, and one tablespoonful
cloves. Pulp the grapes and bring the pulps
to a brisk boil so that the pulp will burst.
Run through a cullander. Then add the
skins and other ingredients and cook two
hours. B.
Oat-meai, Pie Crust.—Scald two. parts of
fine oatmeal with one part of hot water;
mix well and roll thin. As this bakes very
quickly, fruit which require much cooking,
must be cooked first before making the pics.
This crust is very tender, and possesses all
the desirable qualities of shortened pie
crusts without their injurious effects.
French Custard.—Take one quartof milk
flavor it with the peel of about half a small
lemon, pared very thin, and sweetened to
taste with white sugar. Boil it, nnd leave it
to get quite cold. Then blend it witli three
desert spoonsful of fine flour, and two eggs
well beaten. Simmer it until it is of the
proper thickness, stirring it the whole time.
Pour into cups, or a custard dish.
Baked eggs are a delicious novelty
Sprinkle a layer of bread-crumbs on either
a tin or an earthen pie plate. Break the
eggs carefully over this foundation, not
breaking the yelk of any. Scatter a few
bits of butter over the whole and a little
pepper and salt. If the oven is hot the eggs
will be “set” and cooked in about four min
utes. The gas stove, with its heat over the
pan or broiler, turns out baked eggs beauti
fully.
Bath Buns.—Rub one pound of fine flour
and a half pound of butter together with
the hand; heat up six eggs and add to the
flour, also a teacupful of good yeast. Mix
all well together with a half a cupful of
milk. Let the mixture remain for an hour
in a warm place, and mix in six ounces of
sifted sugar and a very few carraway seeds,
Mould into buns on a baking plate, with
teaspoon, throw upon each six or eight large
carruway comfits, and hake in a hot oven
about ten minutes. The quantities given
should make eighteen biyis.
French Honey.—Break one pound of
lump sugar to pieces; put into a pan, add
the yolks of six eggs, and the white of four,
the juice of four lemons (and grate in the
rinds of two), and a quarter of a pound of
butter. Stir the ingredients well over a
slow fire, until the mixture becomes as
thick as honey. It will keep a year if put
into jars and tied down with paper and kept
in a cool, dry place. It is most excellent to
fill tarts witli, or to spread between layers
of cake.

2,300 acres or Land within 10 or 12 miles of said
railroad ; 10 miles from the city of Natchitoches, Par
ish of Natchitoches, La., one of the wealthiest par
ishes In Northwestern Louisiana. 1,100 acres of said
land lies In Bed river bottom on Bayou Pierre river,
a stream running out of lied river Just below Shreve
port and returning Into Ited river Just above Grande
Kcore. I,2j0 acres of said land adjoining the bottom
track is upland and is well supplied witli fine pine tim
ber, suitable for making into lumber. 350 acres of the
bottom land was in a high state of cultivation when
the war ended, since then it has been somewhat ne-
^ leded; with means and proper management it can
e made one of the finest Cotton and Corn planta
tions In Louisiana. The lands In the bottom prop
erly prepared and cultivated, will produce one bale
of cotton weighing 500 pounds or 6« bushels corn per
acre—I have made it on the land. Tho soil Is alluvial,
of a reddish cast and some 2ufor more feet deep. A ny
one disposed to go into a purchase of these lands will

Hints nnd Helps.
Moths may be kept out of furs and wool
en goods by wrapping them in calico; as
motbs cannot eat through calico.
Leghorn hats or bonnets may be cleaned
by washing with lime-juice, a little gum be
ing applied afterwards.
Lemons can be kept fresh for weeks by
covering them with buttermilk, changing
the milk once a week.
Never fold a gossamer waterproof inside
out. It is the inside which should be kept
free from all soil.
Prepare Now for Winter Flowers.
Those who have small green-houses or cul
tivated flowers in their windows, have set
out their geraniums, and other quick-grow
ing plants for the summer. Many make the
mistake of taking up these plants in au
tumn, after they have grown alt the season
in the open ground, and potting them to be
replaced in the window or green house. The
result will always be “ long-legged,” mis
shapen plants, which, instead of blooming
satisfactorily during the winter, will take a
long time to recover, and never be worth as
much as new plants from cuttings. Such
plants may be prepared for, this month
and next, and with very little trouble. Of
course those who have green-houses with ap
pliances for propagating need no directions,
but many lovers of flowers have to content
themselves with such plants as may be grown
in the windows of the living rooms. These
become attached to their plants, and when
one is set out in the bed they expect it back
again. When a plant goes out, consider it
thrown away, for it may bs well be,
and set about replacing it. The following
methot] will give a few plants with little
trouble. Take a common Btore box, such as
a starch or soap-box, knock off both cover
and bottom, and if need be strengthen it
with exta nails. Tack over this a piece of
cotton cloth and the Irame will be ready.

Atlanta, Ga., July 25, 1882.
After thoroughly tenting this variety, usually
known an the "Bill Dallas Bust Proof Wheat," we
unhesitatingly pronounce It the surest cropper yet
originated, having lost only one crop In ten years,
and that from the fly or some insect, not rust. We
have never known it to rust. It is classed by millers
as a white wheat yielding lirst-cluss flour. It appears
to be a hybrid—a smooth-headed wheat with utmost
Invariably some bearded heads cropping out amongst
It. The crop Just harvested shows the largest yield
of any variety In this section, the yields so far re
ported being from 21 % to 30 bushels per acre.
