FASHION AND THINGS FEMININE By Ida Mellor. Copyright. t A TENNIB DRESS. The lover of outdoor pursuits is ap' to be more seriously interested jusi now in the informal sido of the ward robe that appeals to summer sport; and pastimes than in tnat part of il which- concerns more nearly th« smarter side of dress for we have arrived at a season when tennis and I'oating, croquet and other garden and field sports prove to scores of women more attractive than formal receptions

imi ceremonious entertainments gen>rally, wherefore matters of moment ;o them are simple washing dresses md blouse and skirt costumes. For river wear, tennis and so on, I lie latter type of dress is to bo pre- i erred, to the all-in-one model, as it 6 often advisable, when the body is; teated by active exercise with the acquets or the oars, to make a change •f blouse as soon as possible. Again, ! .'hen the afternoon tennis or croquet j arty is followed up by a friendly din-1 er or high tea and "social," the i irl-gnests will, of course, find it con- i onient, and even necessary to make a i hange of toilette, and can easily take i itb them something pretty in the I ay of a dinner-blouse to slip into af- r »r the game, while the afternoon i ■rge skirt will suffice for both ocr isions. ' 11 In riew of these dual entertain- j r

1 raents the auramsr wardroba ot i sportswoman should contain a . or and skirt costume of white w3rg "V;te of fine blue serge, and so«r* .*" blouses of delaine and wathißß . 5i!K £ muslin, the woollen Mouse DbHig l preferable to the lingerie on© g£ sporting purposes generally, ""»M dinner wear and afterwards, a » ■ or silk blouse will prove appropriate. The new sailor blouse may be 1 gested as an ideal one f« r 2* 1 * 1 pastime s and boating, as well as ior seaside and country wear generally. } In one of iu \ urious aspects it ".JjT 1 picted in our sketch, and it . « jus/* . the blouse for the tennis girl- in» I blouse differs from the ordinal? wMW 5 1 model, in that it is cut in one p***. ■ after the vogue of the day. It is made lof cream flannel, with inserted co.iar Hand cuffs of dark blue linen, and lasf tens in front with buttons arc! onv l 'tonholes, the sailor tie being of g£ I with a striped border. The breastJ pocket is smart as well al Jf*»:> . ■| Blouses on the same model, nn°«U. ,' II mauve or white twill or washing siijc, F! look well with a navy blue dart.

SUMMER UNDERWEAR. \'' At this season the thoughts of many I a girl are engaged on re-stockir g her s ! wardrobe with underwear for sum- ;, I mer, and the new designs shows in s our group-sketch may possibly be or . assistance in suggesting how to make , up under-bodioes, night-dresses, etc., s all the designs being quite simple and ,-, easy to make up. Im At the top of the group is shown a night-dress made without a placket, , the sleeves cut in one with the bodice, !, but seamed along the" outside from * neck to elbow, the bodice being joined * „ at the waist to the skirt. The neck . opening is cut suffieienty Jarge for the brad to paS3 easily through, and li „ afterwards drawn up to size by a ribban threaded through a wide msary

lio«. Th« waist is treated in the same manner, and the sleeves are also flashed with riblion and insertion. Another idcn for a nightdress of similar character is to make the waist vithout a seam or ribbon-runner. The full-length figure illustrated vears a simple under bodice and divid,rd petticoat. The latter, the back | "iew of which is shown in the smiall | sketch, is finished with ombroidered ' ! llouncing, put on with a beading, and ia a very useful, combined garment lhat suits well the modern style of dress. The wardrobe of the American j;irl is well supplied with combined laments of the sort. Made with a basque, the underbodice illustrated' is trimmed at the reck with insertion run with ribbon, Hatching the style of the night-dress, and fastens with buttons in front. If preferred, the basque could, of course, be dispensed with, but it is convenient in helping to keep the bodice well down at the waist. Banish care and debt from your mind.—Plautus.

There is no doubt that the keeping of stock on the farm conduces to the maintenance of soil fertility. [n the ranks of the purebred* the study of character in sires and dams is a matter of the first importance. One of the features of the development of 1909 was the utter collapse of the pig supply all over the world. (■attle do not care for cockspur when it is old and hard, which is the condition in which horses prefer it. Judicious feediig is the secret os? success in the dairy. There is no sense in overfeeding a milch cow. . Y/heat cannot be cheap t*o°d ß in view of the capital"Mvhich has to !>© sunk in the farms to-day. T le ond and object of your existence ihov.
