FROCKS MADE TO CLEAR FLOOR
Idea Of Foreign Designers Cannot
Be Said to Be Highly Com
n1endable.

There is little dignity or elegance in
an elaborate gown that stops short Of
the floor. This method Is all very
well when the skirt is for everyday
street wear, for one cannot be both
cred with holding it up.
But 1t does not look suitable In a
frock intended for the most formal
social occasions. Yet this is the
last caprice Of the designers abroad.
They are making exquisite frocks
OF satin, Of mousseline, Of hand and
metal embroidery with skirts that do
not touch the floor. The most re-
cent wedding gown made there for a
smart bride-elect Is short-actually
short! 1t does not touch the floor,
and clears 1t enough to let one see
the white satin slippers.
1t Is Of mousseline and satin, the
skirt festooned with tulle caught with
hearts Of orange blossoms.
Two exquisite frocks for formal
wear, one Of white chiffon with a
draped tunic Of pink mousseline
meshed in silver, and one of bluet
mousseline with black cluny roses as
a border. Both have skirts cut two
inches from the floor.

BRIGHT COLOR OVER WHITE
Late Fancy Of Fashion That Can Be
Made Particularly Attrae-
tive.

One Of the fantasies Of the day is
to drop a long tunlc in a brilliant col.
or over a frock Of white. The materi-
ais must accord, but not match. One
gown. showing of this idea. is of
white charmeuse satin beneath, with
tunic Of emerald green, a vivid tone,
over II.
This tunic is rather long at back
and front, but slightly higher at the
left side. 1t is bordered with a fex.
ible braid woven with silver.
This runs up the sides OF the
slsshed opening and ends in a small
bow Of silver ribbon. The corsage is
folded across the figure, opens on the
eft side, and is caught there with an
other silver bow on a line with the
first one.
The sleeves are In one with the
shoulder. end at the elbow and drop
over a tight sleeve Of Cluny lace to
match a low. rounded yoke Of the
same, A short string Of pearls is
worn around the bare neck.
The hat is a cavalier one Of thin
white felt. trimmed with a scarf OF
green mousseline and a wired silver
and lace bow In front

A Handy eranary.

Is small, but contains many things
which save labor on the farm, and the
capacity is very fully utilized. 1t is
hardly possible to get as much saving
OF labor and time out of any other
structure Of the size as the one de.
voted to the purposes for which this
will be used.
A basement half the size Of the
building has cement floor and is made
warm. In this is an air pressure wa.
ter supply tank filled from a we'll Just
outside the building. This carries sui.
ncient pressure to throw water over
any farm building. Water flows from
the tank to the house, barn, yards,
etc. All Is made frost proof.
A bucket elevator runs to bottom oil
basement. This takes grain from the
wagon and places it in any bin in the
building. Grain flows to It from all
bins, and can thus be stored, aired II
damp, mixed, cleaned, sacked OF
ground without hand lifting, spouts
connecting all parts.
The second story is used for grain
storage and has a convenient stair
way and good lighting and ventila
ton. More grain can be stored than
with the common arrangement.
In the first story is a room fol
cleaning and grinding grain, Smelling
corn, etc. This has a wood floor. The
engine room has space for gasoline
engine and any machinery likely tc
cause dirt or dampness. Cream sepa
rator room is plastered and finished
with as little woodwork as possible
The floors Of these two rooms are Of
cement and are pitched so they car

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING
"nen Done Before Snow Falls Land
Freer from Injurious Insects
Other Advantages.
(By R. B. Rushing,


AS much blowing as possible should
De done In the fall. The soil thus
turned up is exposed to the frosts Of
winter and they penetrate it to a con-
siderable depth. Soils that are GOV.
cred with sod are not penetrated
more than half as deep by the frosts
as are those soils that are recently
plowed In the fall.
II Is desirable to loosen the earth
below the depth to which the pillow
goes. This is especially valuable in
clay soils. When ground is plowed
well before the coming Of frost the
soil will often be frozen to the depth
OF 20 inches. This means that every
particle to that depth is moved to a
certain extent. The expansion of the
particles OF moisture pushes apart and
breaks up the most retentive soils.
Clay soil that has been well
drained is in this way made more fri
able to a great depth and when spring
comes and the frost goes out of the
soil 1t will be so loose that air can
penetrate to a great depth and chem
lcal action be better.
The manures In the surface soil are
disintegrated and some Of them are
washed down to the depth the frost
has gone.
The result following Is that the
roots Of the plants seek the cool,
moist earth below If there be in II
plenty Of plant food and the plants
supported by the roots are the more
able to resist many droughts that
may come In summer.
Where droughts are common It Is
desirable to have plant roots go as
deeply as possible.
Fall-plowed land will also be found
freer from cutworms and other inju.
rlous insects in the spring. Some OF
these insects try to get below the
frost line or at least to point where
freezing and thawing in the early
spring is not possible. The blowing
OF the land turns up these insects,
and, though they may be still covered
bV the eoil laavae tho ground en- loosa
about them that they freeze and in
this way they are killed.
While fall blowing does not entirely
wipe out all the cutworms that may
be in the ground, 1t will greatly les
sen their number.
This point alone is enough to JUS
tify the blowing Of land in the fall.

KEEPING THE SHOES IN SHAPE
Proper Fitting and General Care
Practically All That Is
Necessary.

Some people imagine that feet can
not possibly look neat unless they are
small. This is a great mistake, for
however good and we'll made a boot
be, If it Is too short or narrow 1t will
be sure to bulge out at the sides and
wear into an ugly shape.
Boots and shoes should always be
at least half an inch longer than the
foot, as, in walking, the foot works
down into the toe of the boot, and II
1t is too short, the resistance thus
caused throws the whole foot out OF
shape.
The foot looks far better in a long
boot or shoe, because 1t keeps its
shape longer and takes away from the
width of the foot.
The trying on of boots and shoes
should always be done in the evening
when the foot is at its largest. II
this plan were adopted, one would al
ways be sure of obtaining properly
sitting footgear.
AS a last hint, l advise all persons
to have at least two pairs of shoes to
wear alternately. There is nothing
like days rest every now and then
for keeping them in perfect condition

Satin Eoulard,

The seasons love for foulards has
spurred the manufacturers to greater
efforts, and we have a wider choice Of
these soft fabrics than ever before.
Their width, which is As inches, makes
the material one that is especially ad.
vantagsous, for it adopts itself well
to the demand for tunics. peplums and
princess models. Foulards seems to
have a more brilliant finish than for
merly, and 1t has slipped easily into

Uncared For Nails.

There cannot be a beautiful hand
with uncared for nails. Nails ought
to be slightly arched and only long
enough to extend as far as the flesh
terminating the fingers. They must
be well polished and Of a rosy hue.
The white crescents or half moons
seen at the base Of most nails should
be developed BY pressing back the
soft rim Of flesh. which. unless kept
back, will grow over them. This can
ordinarily be done after washing the
hands. using the thumb nail Of each
hand and the towel to crowd the rim
downward and away from each half
moon.

the attaching Of 1t to the lace.
The Frenchwoman who does this
work loves 1t, and never has to be
cajoled into doing It. She has her
price-a little price. She wants the
work, and therefore she does It well.

for the low-necked nightdress, is q
