THE POPULAR COAT
Is Long and Loose, and Made Either
of Soft Silk or Pongee.


Those long, loose silk and pongee
coats are making records for themselves.
AS summer comes on dresses will out,
and most women find 1t necessary to
have some sort Of an attractive wrap
to wear over them.
Whoever invented them was a genius.
and that other who adapted them to all
sorts OF uses was as great in another
way.
There's been a radical change in the
use Of silk this season. Instead OF the
ubiquitous silk shirt waist suit of last
year and the year before, fewer Of silk
have been seen. and those are nearer
the dress-type-surplice styles for the
most part, worn with the wonderful lit
tie chemisettes
Silk Is not SO evident in suits. either;
although the little check suits that Paris
wears every spring had land are still
having) an ovation.
The most pronounced new use of silk
is for those separate coats, the silk
that is used being soft-finish taffeta
and pongee.
They're usually very long or very
short; although, like everything else this
spring. every length Is worn And most
of them are unlined, except those that
are worn as evening wraps and have a
lining to add to their beauty. The main
idea is to have them the highest and
ARREST wraps imaginable.
For garden parties and for evening
wear, exquisite things have been made
of pale blue and biscuit color and white
lots Of 1t.
For driving and automobile coats
ne darker shade of elk will be more
worn, and pongee of every shade, from
the natural color down to clean, de-
lightful blues that will be worn morn
ing, noon, and night.
Pongee really has things more its own
way man silk has; for shirt waist suits
and suits lthe most stunning little suits)

ing Of dresses-are made of II.

AMERICANS AT COURT.
Many Are Admitted Who, if English
Subjects, Would Be Strictly Barred.

Among the most beautiful debutantes
VINO have graced the court of King Ed
ward of England are those daughters OF
the wealthy and aristocratic families Of
America who have been introduced at
the royal drawing rooms,v through the
kindness OF the American ambassador,
or some of the many American women
who have married into noble English
families. A presentation at one of
these state functions is one Of the great
est social honors which can be conferred
upon a visiting foreigner. Among the
Kings own subjects none but persons
having a satisfactory claim to the rank
OF gentlemen" are admitted. British
yeomen and tradesInen are strictly
barred, and even actors and actresses
are generally excluded from the court.
In the cases of visiting Americans and
colonists the ru1es are not SO severe,
and the lord cha mberlain admits many
men and women who, were they resi-
dents of the British Isles. would never
be allowed to pass the palace gates. In
preparation for their debut at these
drawing rooms, both ladies and gentle
men are put to much worry and ex-
pense. The character of costume for
both sexes is strictly ordered. and for
many weeks before the event the de-
butantes are under the tuition OF mas
tiers OF department n order that the
bows and courtesies may be made at the
proper moment and in the correct man.
ner. When the day at last arrives 1t is
one or extraordinary anxiety. and happy
indeed are the youths and maids who
are able to carry themselves with ali
the grace and deeofum that Is consid-
cred necessary.

More Corn
To the Acre

In the whole realm of agri-
culture, there is not a. single
department of more import
ance than the preparing and
planting of seed corn.
Not only should the seed
be selected from corn that
is thoroughly matured, but
should show such uniformity
of shape, size and color as
would indicate good breeding
and strong vitality.
After the seed has been
thoroughly prepared, thenext
important step is to test your
Planter. A planter that does
not drop uniform sized corn
with an accuracy of less than
95 per cent should not be al
lowed to go into the field.
1t is a we'll known fact that
the old style dropping plates
used in planters does not per

drop.
