ment; hence Its value as food There
may be some objections to feeding
green bone for several reasons. but 1t

tageously to fowls intended for many

conditions. 1t Is great help IN has

Artlflcial Flowers Trim Gowns.

One OF the newest and most desir-
able trimmings for an evening gowE
this season Is artificial flowers. The
possibilities OF this decoration are end
less for the reason that the flowers
lend themselves to lines suited both to
stont and slim figures. Put on In
pendant effect they lengthen one in
clined to being short. while tall
women can afford to do what short
one cannot and decidedly cut her
length by running the flowers across.

flowers are little seen. Without ex-
ception they are large, and roses are
fav0rities. Plentiful use Of foliage
adds green to the general color scheme.
