the people Of Wilmington, Phiiadel-

WHY CREAM TESTS VARY.
1t Is Generally Due to Uneven Run.
ming of Cream Separator.

If the separator is not run up to
speed, or, in other words, run too
slow, the cream will be thin; also
you will lose some butterfat. If you
are not sure you are running it at
the correct speed, get out your watch
and count the turns of the crank
per minute. You should do this once
a month anyway, so as to be sure you
are running it correctly. Better run
your machine little too fast than too
slow. The speed should be uniform.
The flow of milk to the machine
must be the same to within certain
limits. If one day the supply can on
the machine is kept full of milk during
the run, and the next day filled partly
full and allowed to run empty before
putting in the next pail of milk, there
will be decided difference in the
tests. To illustrate, if the supply can
be kept full during the run, and the
amount of milk flowing to the separa-
tor be turned off one-half by partially
turning or closing the faucet over the
bowl, the cream will be much heavier
if opened to full capacity. The flow
of milk to the machine should be uni.
form. Cream from warm milk is us.
ually thinner than cream from cold
milk.
Variations also depend upon wheth.
er your COW is eating dry or green
food, says the Northwestern Agricul
turist. Everything summed up, the
test varies with the speed of the ma
chine, with the temperatures of the
milk, with the amount of milk fed tc
the machine and what you are feed
ing your COWS. Richer food does not
necessarily mean richer milk, but il
means more milk.

er the winter modes like the silent
mist of the morning; it is softness of
texture, softness of color, softness of
effect that the couturieres ever strive
to produce and always with remark
able success. Smart checks are so soft
and subdued that frequently they are
only to be detected on near scrutiny.
This is true of a panne velvet in
Amadou. The circular skirt fits per
fectly over the hips and is trimmed
with a front panel and deep lower
facing of its own material, cut on the
bias. Worn with 1t is a coat of very
close-fitting design, the fronts round
ed away in cutaway effect. Its trim
mings are of its own material, cut on
the bias, and the sleeves have the
Oriental effect, produced by being cut
in one with the coat, although they
are close fitting and turn the ell
DOW.
In the checked materials the circu-
lar cut is certainly the correct thing
for skirts, and it is as often made
plain as 1t is combined with plating
and paneling. All of the approved trim
mings are fiat, SO that the fashion
able braided effects can be reproduc-
ed in cloth, silk or other yard mate
rails, cut into bias or straight folds.
In some recent instances of smart
skirts the plaits have emerged from
beneath wide straps that appeared to
be a continuation of a new-shaped hip
yoke. Again they spring from seams,
and still again they are laid in very
fine side plaits, pressed as fiat as pos
sible, and decorated with small velvet
buttons or others of silk crochet.
So much has been written about
long coats that the bolero and Eaton
must feel sighted, yet this neglect
on the part of fashion writer's has not
been paralleled by the couturieres, for
some of the foremost firms are show
ing number of unusually smart boz
leros. They are cut on more or less
novel lines, and are more suited to
dressy models than are the long coats
or, in fact, coats of almost any length.
The waistcoat effect is emphasized
in the short coats, and the prettiest
imaginable ideas are carried out with
combination of lace, braid and en-
broidery.

HOME MADE DRESS BEST.
More Economical and Better Fit Can
Be Obtained.

The idea entertained by our grand
mothers that no ready made dress
could compete with one made at home
is an idea that is steadily gaining
ground at the present. 1t certainly
is the more economical to make girls
clothes, as in no other way they OBJ
tain durability, style, and, most of all,
proper fit. A dress which has been
bought ready made surely can be made
to serve the purpose and to really
look nice, but one which is made at
home Is exactly right, as it is made to
fit one certain figure.
In making a dress great thought and
study should be given to the choosing
of the pattern. Do not choose a pat
tern which is so elaborate that only
the thinnest goods could be made af-
ter it when the material you wish to
make up is heavy and bulky. The pres
ent and sensible fashion for making
the one piece dresses for all girls
under is simplifies the problem.
Smart simplicity also reigns at pres
ent, which is joyful news to the moth
ers of large families. The Japanese
and kimono effects are extremely evil
dent in children's garments, both
dresses and coats, and they certainly
add touch of smartness aside from
the fact that they are as easy to make
and fit
