summer dance and evening dresses.
Metal laces are effective on the more

The colored blouse of organdy, voile,

| Bitch a hold on tlie popular fancy that

and grays predominate. The cos-

season of color and one may indulge

and butcher’s linen are both popu-

Parasols promise to phi? a more

they are oddly shaped and vividly col-

dairying industry to the country. He
stated that he at one time nianufac-

and that they wore sold over a large
territory, and that in every instance
his collections were much bettor in
the dairying sections than in the oth-
er. showing conclusively that the peo-
ple in the dairying sections wore much
more prosperous than in the others.
Mr. Ramsey stated that at one time
ho lived in a soetlqn of Missouri
where the lands were very poor, would
grow practical!? nothing but a little
grass, the land was bought and sold,
and finally fell into the hands of a
few thrifty Germans who started in
the dairying business, and that with-
in seven or eight years this section
had grown into the most productive of
the entire State, owing to the Increas-
ed fertility of the lands, brought about
bv the running of cows. Ho further
stated that the dairy section went
on a cash basis, whereas the wheat
