Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN. How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use of, the Moist Subsoil. In Syria and Palestine from the be- ginning of April until October there is practically no rain, yet in July the fields teem with a vigorous growth of watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., all flourishing without artificial watering, although at that time no rain bas fallen for many weeks. In fact the Syrian peasant, from the moment his seed has been sown, prays that no rain may fall. During the period of growth of a crop the sur- face of the soil toa depth of six or eight inches is perfectly dry and loose. Below this surface layer will be found moist soil, in which the roots extend and grow vigorously. In this moist subsoil plants continue to grow until the late autumn. ‘When the crop is removed in the autumn the rains com- mence and the land is ploughed after each heavy rain as soon as the soil be- gins to dry. Two primary objects are kept in view in ploughing—to furnish a fa- vorable surface for taking up all the water and to prevent its upward evaporation from the subsoil. The great point is to keep the upper six inches of soil perfectly loose and fri- able, so that the moisture from below is not drawn upward and lost in evaporation, but does not ascend high- er than the compact subsoil that is not broken up by the plow. For this reason the ploughing is shallow, aver- aging from four to six inches in depth. When the time for sowing the seed arrives the land is ploughed to a depth of about six inches, and the seed is sown from an arrangement attached to the plow, falls on the damp subsoil and is covered by the soil closing over behind the ploughshare. From this time the upper stratum of loose soil prevents the escape of moisture up- ward beyond the wet subsoil on which the seeds rest and into which their roots after the process of germination spread.

Bordered Fabrics Not Popular with the Smart Womsn — Ring-Dotted Batiste Makes an Effective Dress for Afternoon. The dot, large, small and middle- sized, has been revived in the latest weaves for midsummer frocks. In the spring we saw nothing but stripes, and the dot was said to be quite out of the running, but behold, with the first warm days, fickle Dame Simple Afternoon Dress of Dotted Batiste. Feshion changed her mind and once more the dot reigns practically su- preme in new dress goods. The fashionable border is in a meas- ure responsible for this revival. Very few women approved or found becom- ing the bordered fabrics in which FABRIC FOR FALL WEAR. New Idea in Satin Is Scheduled for Popularity. A new fabric for fall wear will be satin majestic. The fabric is suitable for new fashion features in costumes, with good draping qualities, color range and finish, while the price is now on a low level to insure quick sales. The manufacturers of mirage silks are busy preparing new lines of fancies which will be brought out early. Satins are moving for early fall delivery and some of the well-known brands of silk. Summer lines are steadily improving, and the call is growing for fine quality tussahs, pon- gees and shantung silks. Printed silks, such as foulards, are working into a stronger position, and are expected to be good property during the summer months. Neat effects are being taken, and any new colors or designs brought out are being immediately sampled by the retail trade. Some of the prices named for late summer deliveries are attracting buyers, as they are consid- erably lower than those prevailing last year. Raw silk is considerably lower than it was a year ago. Linen and Cloth. One of the oddities in the present season’s styles is putting cloth and linen together. This is done in small or large quantities. A green cloth skirt, perfectly fit- ting, quite long, and without trimming, carries a loose long skeleton coat of green linen. of cretonne with pink, green and yel- Jow combined. Linen is much cooler than cloth for a coat, and as it is of the handsome hop-sacking weave it does not sit bad- ly above a skirt of satin broadcloth. The collar and cuffs are | ground work and border were in di rect contrast. The natural-toned pongees are both stamped and embroidered with dots and ring-dots, in strongly contrasting colors, such as cardinal red, green, brown and all the delivate tints, laven- der, Alice blue, geranium pink and rose-pink. The dots vary in size from a quarter of an inch to those the size of a quarter. Lovely dotted challies are shown, but these are principally for elderly women who like a warm frock for cool mornings and evenings. They are not seen for street Wear this season. In the tub fabrics, batiste, swiss, lawn, organdie, cotton voile, madras, pique and percale, the dot is simply rampant. Lightweight pique embroid- ered in white mercerized floss, or dots or rings in bright colors are most charming for tailored shirt-waist suits. A tie embroidered: to match the dots o: rings gives the finishing touch. In the lighter weight weaves, par- ticularly batiste, various sizes of dots appear in the same dress pattern. For instance, you will find the greater part of the pattern covered with dots no larger than a good-sized pea, but here and there will come a_ strip showing dots as large as a five-cent piece or even a quarter. The large dots are employed to give a bordered effect below the small- er dots on the skirt, while a similar strip of large dots appears on the yoke. This sounds like a striking combination, but in reality it is most effective. Particularly is the design useful in making princess frocks, for large dots do not work well into tucked waist lines. The illustration shows a lovely lit- tle frock ih ring-dotted batiste with only fine tucks on skirt and blouse to fit it to the figure. A box plait down the front. of the blouse, edged with lace and elbow cuéfs to match, provide the simple but effective trimming. This is an ideal afternoon frock for the woman who does her own work and who must set tea forth after she has dressed for the day. Most of the new swisses show a double pattern, that is dots or rings seattered over a plaid weave or be- tween stripes. And a word to the wise which ought to be sufficient; If you pick up a piece of black or white or ecru silk net with a ring or dot, or a dress length in chiffon cloth, marquisette, or fine voile, embroidered in the same _ fashion, count yourself in great good fortune, for the dot, it is prophesied, will re- main in demand all fall and winter. BROWN LINEN SUIT. A smart suit of brown linen which is unusually good looking. An over- skirt effect is given by applied tucks set on in deep points and on the bod- ice there is a generous supply of sou- tache braid put on in attractive de- sign. Sleeves and lower portion of bodice are tucked and the high stock is braided to match yoke. A large chapeau of white palmetto straw is trimmed with brown ribbon loops and bunches of green grapes. ON COLLARS AND STOCKS. bmportant Features of Costumes for Those Up to Date. Stocks, we all know, have come into fashion and are expected to stay, espe- cially lace stocks with high frilly tops. A collar to connect the costume and the stock is now sometimes added. made of bands of ribbon and boney uprights. This fits over the stock and forms a sort of lattice work through which the lace of the former shows plainly. For instance, if one were wearing a dark blue waist and a white stock, the blue ribbon lattice over the white would tone down the glaring whiteness of the lace and connect it with the waist. These new collars are made of one- half inéh ribbon, arranged in three rows and held in place by four up- rights—two in the back and one on each side. The bones are covered ‘with the ribbon used for the rest of the collar. The lower bow of ribbon which goes around the bottom of the collar is loosely tied in front, and both ends are fringed or tasseled with gold. ‘ About Cutting Flannel. If you are about to cut garments for the baby—or for the growing child— from flannel, do not fail to wash your pieces of flannel in the ordinary way before you cut into it, says Woman’s Life. Nothing is more provoking than to cut a flannel garment according to the pattern, only to find, after one or two washings, that it has shrunk until too small for further use. In cutting the garments—even after thus treated —always allow a seam larger than pat- tern, even where there is a seam ak Jowance on the pattern. wet Painting Canvas Shoes. White canvas shoes may be turned into pretty slippers by painting them with a Dresden design in small flow- ers. This idea turns comparatively plain shoes into very ornamental slip- pers suitable to wear in the evening with light decollete dresses. Needless to say, it is necessary to have some artistic talent in the family before this can be accomplished. After the shoes are finished they will look like cretonne which is so popular this year for anything from a wash-bag to a lingerie hat.
