Comfort Dresses.

Comfort dresses, that i the new

panion for July
"They are smart in style, she wouldn't
own them if they were not. They are
most simple in design yet they carry
distinction. And they are surf to be
becoming, for their colorings are spec
tally charming.

blue tints seem to lead and their diff

and gentian- blue tones being more 70
the fore than the turquoise and bue-
green tints. Then there are the tans

one another in their soft, becoming

low the cap. fortunately for grace and
locomotion. there may be deep kilt

fiutters and waves facefully with
walking.
But these are the pet extremes OF
the hour. and for those who want the
sensible thing pray let me introduce
few pictures which show styles as
pretty as they are reasonable.
Though designed for misses, the mod
els are appropriate for small women
and the styles are all quite simple
enough for home dressmaking.
The combination of Russian coat
and plated skirt. shown in the Illus
tration, represents an ideal style for
a young girls street wear for both
autumn and winter. for by wearing
a warm little vest under the coat the
dress would be suitable for any but
the most frigid days. AS pictured. the
suit is made of mannish goods in
brown and red. with little handsome
embroidery and some fancy buttons
on the bodies. The skirt is in seven
cores, but az these are plated and
stitched at the top the effect IL styi-
ishly narrow.

STYLES FOR MISSES
MORE NEARLY RIGHT THING
THAN THOSE FOR WOMEN.
Look Actually Adorable In BasIike
Skirts Of Hour-Many Dressy
Frocks Are in One-Piece
Models.

The fall clothes provided for misses
strike the heart disgruntled with fash
ions follies as more nearly the right
thing than those provided for woman.
True, the small woman may find them
to her taste, but the styles are Great
ed for the girl. and 1t is not entirely
the traditions Of girlhood that make
them attractive. Perhaps 1t is the
charm of the very short skirts and the
slim figures-it may be that the young
girl is more suited to the present friv-
olities than the woman who is sup
posed to have come to the age of rea-
son.
Everywhere one encounters the
actually adorable in the baglike skirts
of the hour, with their restraining
bands or skinny cut. with the over
skirt that looks as II it has right
to be. the short sleeve that seems
legitimate and SO on. In the field OF
practicalities a mannish little coat
suit represents the proper caper for
street wear. and in its most killing
phases it looks as II 1t might be made
out of three yards Of stuff. A trim.
dinky sort of little jacket, with coat
sleeves fitting all but to the skin and
single-breasted front. is completed
with a skirt without gather and with
only two seams-these at the sides
Mannish materials, too, are being used
for 1t. and for all the apparent sim
plicity of such suits they require the
touch of accomplished tailoring.
Many dressy little frocks are in one
piece models, or they may be in two
sections, with the upper part of the
skirt Stimulating, with yoke or trim
ming, some basque finish for the
bodice. When the waist and skirt join
perfectly it is impossible to see at
first glance that these frocks are not
in one. Then there is the straight
overskirt still with US. and just now
it is the merest cap. hugging the hips

WHAT HE CONSIDERED FAIR
Mr.. oIsen's Offer Must Have Come a.
Surprise Even to Persuasive
Claim Agent

Up in Minnesota Mr.. Olsen had a
COW killed by a railroad train. In
due season the claim agent for the
railroad called:
I'VE understand, Of course, that the
deceased was a very docile and valu-
able animal" said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim-agentleman-
ly manner. "and we sympathjze with
you and your family in your loss. But,
Mr.. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your COW had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our pri.
vate property and when she invaded
them she became trespasser. Tech

GETTING EGGS
DURING WINTER
Good Laying Hens Are Strong.
Large Bodied, Vigorous Birds
e rIy oItin4 Is
Necessary.

Where eggs are desired in the win
ter 1t is important that the layers
shed their feathers early SO that the
new plumage will be grown before
cold weather begins. Some birds.
however, begin to molt late. others
early. this depending on the time
when they are Matched. and as a re-
suit they are not in condition or seem
disinclined to lay eggs when the high
est prices are obtainable. 1t is posi-
BIZ, to cause flock of fowls to pass
thu ough the molting period early and
uniformly. This method consists in
Withholding part of the feed for about
two weeks, which stops egg produc-
ton and reduces the weight of the
fowls, and then feeding heavily on a
ration suitable for the formation OF
feathers and the general building up
of the system.

"FAIR APRON" MAKES A HIT
Designed by Clever Young Woman
Who Found No Further Space
for Table at Fair.

THE Fair Apron" 1t is called by the
clever young woman who is its origin
ator There being no further space for
a table at the church fair in which she
was anxious to help, she conceived
the Idea OF making a big, stout apron
of denim, with plenty Of spacious pock-
cts, and going around with It. selling
small toys to the visitors, at the ba-
zaaY.
No sooner thought than done. The
apron was made Of dark green denim.

braid. Two smaller pockets were
made higher up. All of these pockets
were hastily ornamented By pictures
OF Teddy bears. etc. outlined in thick
white floss. The apron was fastened
around the waist by two stout cords.
which helped support its weight.
So great was the success of this
plan with the children who were too
small to get near the big tables that
the second day of the fair she was
obliged to hang tray around her
neck to hold the further wares de-
manded Of her!
