INSECTICIDES— TOOL-ROOM 



use only old Suede gloves; they give suffi- 

 cient covering and permit more freedom of 

 movement to the hands and fingers than 

 those of heavier material. It would be quite 

 impossible to transplant tiny seedlings while 

 wearing gloves with clumsy finger-tips. 



Unless a woman possesses a skin impervi- 

 ous to wind and sun, she is apt to come 

 through the summer looking as red and 

 brown as an Indian ; and if one is often out 

 in the glare, about the only headgear that 

 can be worn to prevent this, is the old- 

 fashioned sunbonnet. With its poke before 

 and cape behind, protecting the neck, one 

 really cannot become sunburned, and pink 

 ones are not so bad. Retired behind its 

 friendly shelter, you are somewhat deaf to the 

 world ; and at the distant house, people may 

 shout to you and bells be rung at you, and, 

 if your occupation be engrossing, the excuse 

 "no one can hear through a sun- bonnet," 

 must be accepted.
