The "jumper" waist is a god-send
to the woman of moderate means,
and now that a plaited skirt devoid
of trimming (but of similar material)
has been added, beauty and utility
have joined hands. All the del
icacy and freshness of the lingerie
waist exists in the dainty lace yoke
and sleeves, the latter being con
structed oh individual taste, or the
resources of the wearer. Very light
shades of silk, broadcloth and even
panne velvet are made up into even
ing dresses of this style for home or
theatre wear, but there the line is
drawn the "jumper dress" must
not appear at a ball or full dress
SIMPLICITY IN MAKING.
Another pretty dress was of white
voile, the skirt trimmed with rows
of white satin ribbon, and the waist
full hut. lmv npf'W. with fichu effect
of voile ruffles edged by narrow satin
I ribbon, the fichu crossing at the
j front and the ends tucked under a
J wide, white satin belt. This style
! serves as a model for any light
i weight material. Double box plait
I ings of blue and white stribed rib
l bou three are used with excelleut
j effect on a dotted net skirt with
draped waist of striped silk, and
lace tichu crossed at the front.

EVENING PRESSES.
These include a long list of lace
robes, spangled robes, hand-painted
chiftou, combinations of crepe-d.-chine
and chiffon, fancy silk3 or
nets covered with embionJeiy, and
over elaborat'on is tarried to such
an extent, that a dives of simple
material, simply mail?, is positively
refreshing. Among a collection of
evening gowns shown by a promi
nent house, were two of white dotted
net over a silky lining. The skirt
of one was plain to about flounce
depth, then there were three scant
puffs of net, each finished by a plain
net ruffle. Narrow blue ribbon was
run in each puff and a few wired
bows of the same ribbon were fasten
ed to the skirt quite a diftance apart.
The waist was low neck, with plaiu
net gathered at the front, and bre
telles graced the shoulders, formed
of one scant puff edgeJ by a hingle
net ruffle. Blue liubon (narrow)
was laced across the frmit, Jand the
sleeves were in keeping with skirt
and waist.

1 The Stuck 'Foot! I'raiul Warniig Our
Farmers Against a C ommon Swindle
The Haleigh Progressive Farmer
piints a notable article exposing ti.e
stock food fraud, which it pronounces
the most stupendous swindle now
being practiced upon Attericun
farmers. Millions aud millions of
dollars are spent every year several
thousand dollars a year perhaps in
this very county for gaudily adver
tised "stock foods", "condition pow
ders," etc., for farm animals, hile
the investigations and tests mad? by
the Experiment Stations ;have dem
onstrated that these prepara(ons
are nothing more than common ileal
bran, etc., with a little cheap pul
phur, salt, Epsom salts, pejper,
saltpeter, etc., added to change the
taste, aud the mixture (hardly uore
valuable than ordinary ship 6 tail)
put up in flaming packages, adver
tised in big illustrated ads in fa'm
papers, and sold to gullible farm;rs
at rates ranging from $250 to $2,500
a ton.
These stock foods, which can be
found in almost any country sttrt,
have recently been tested in se-en
different Experiment Stations, md
jour farmers, who are paying sich
enormous prices for the mixtures,
! should be interested in the resilts
! as reported bv The Progresave
I Farmer.
j In Minnesota steers without stick
, food gave better results than those
using trie stock foods. In Kamas
I two lots of sheep were fed, and tlose
withoutstock roods made 117 pouids
greater gain. In Massachusetts a
slight gain in butter was made mt
at an iu creased cost of 48 cent a
pound! Of nineteen experiment in
New Jersey, sixteen showed no gabs,
and in tne three cases were gans
weie made from stock foods, their
cost was 8) great as to make tteir
use unprofitable. In Iowa $1.41 a
steer was lost by using these hip
priced mixtures.
And so it goes. The Progresaie
Farmer gives instance after instaice
but we mention these exampes
merely to warn our farmer readrs
against -wasting further the mmy
h"rd earned dollars that go tut
each year for these much-ad vertied
frauds for frauds they are, althou;h
so conspicuously advertised in iiaiy
farm papers; and The Progressive
Farmer reports that it loses $1.QX)
t. year in advertisings patronage by
exposing them to its farmer readers.
