HOLDING IT'S OWN
Popularity of One-Piece Blue
iSerge Is Unabdted.
New York City,

Apparently the little one-piece gown or
blue serge or thin blue woollen material Is
TO enjoy another season OF popularity. And
this Is not strange, considering how grace
fully II fits into places where linens and
silks are out of place. 1t sounds plain and
wanting in individuality, II is true, but its
pleasing possibilities are almost unlimited
nevertheless. This has been demonstrated
before. and Is being demonstrated once
more in numerous smart costumes which
are being worn at the Southern resorts
The skirts OF the new gowns are made
with or without trimming Some are mar
row, and are finished with a knee deep
hem, outlined with narrow blue braid
design or with loose hand stitches, done
with heavy floss. They are raised at the
waist slightly above normal height, and
the bodices,~ the style and trimming or
which are entirely matter OF individual
taste, are loose and easy
Deem collars, square, round or pointed,
appear on the smartest blue gowns. Some
well dressed women cling TO the three
quarter sleeve, and have 1t finished with a
cuff matching the collar; others have the
long. snug fitting sleeve, with a fine pleat-
ing OF lace, embroidery or net reaching al
most TO the knuckles. The large collars
| on many Of the apparently simple creations
| are exquisite works OF art. Some OF the
Ioveliest are Of batiste, with motifs OF
Venetian and Irish lace applied 30 per
fectly that they seem a part OF the ma
| terial itself.

son of simplicity, but the tendency Is In
that direction.
Models for sunny skies" are already
prominent I'm all the smart establish
ments. rather cruelty so for the content
ment of those whose lives do not admit OF
Southern fittings. But the new ideas are
interesting Some Of the hats show re-
turn to a most severe style of dressing
They are on the oldtime sailor lines, with
narrow brims, or after the classic form
of the morning walking hat. These are
only tentative modes. Clever women
whom they may become will perhaps
adopt them, and In such manner the fasn-
ion will be launched. 1t must be admitted
that the great proportion of new models
in hats. certainly most that we see worn'
are of the extravagmt, picturesque ORDER
The spring modes would seem to pre-
sent plentiful opportunities for making
over" If. alas! there could be found
dressmaker who would accept that kind or
work. Skirts are to built in layers, ana
two or more materials go into the build
ing of most gowns. French modes call
for longer skirts, longer street costumes
and trailing gowns for all formal atter-
noon occasions. The American buyers
seem 10 think that trailing daytime gowns
will not "go" in America. but they agree
that the scant, very short skirt is ALREADY
out of date
The idea that Is really new this season
is the puffed skirt a sort Of tunic railing
in full folds into tight band set on just
below the knees. The top OF the gown Is
quite plain. made generally with long
sleeves and soft untrimmed folds over
the bust That drapery OF some sort Is
coming into skirts there seems to be little
doubt, but IL is hardly probable that II
will take so drastic a form.

MAKING OVER
Last Summers GO10nS Easily
BROUGHT Up to Date.

With the suggestion of fuller skirts and
more elaborate bodices that is in the air
n looks as II the remodelling of last sum-
mer's gowns might be little difficult.
However II is a good assumption TO go on
that no change OF fashions presents a
situation impossible for the wisely eConomi-
cal woman TO meet. The fashion designers
Of Paris do not change their modes In the
direction Of economy, but at the same time
one fashion glides so smoothly into the
ideas OF the one preceding IT that 1t is al
ways possible to adapt the two. and on
that basis there can be no difficulty In
adapting last summers modes to those be
fore us.
II is always easier to diminish the size
OF a garment than to increase it, and so
at first sight the present problem may seem
a trihe diffcult However, there is one, or
rather several. features in the new modes
that will help out; gowns are TO be mace
OF two or more materials. and on both
skirts and bodices there is a good deal Of
over drapery. new model in a lingerie
gown shows a skirt with an embroidered
front panel and some corresponding deco
ration down the back breadth, and there
are three scant founces on the sides con-

Maryland Farm State.

In the great staple crops corn,
wheat, hay and rye Maryland is
making substantial progress from year
to year, and annually the farmers of
this State are becoming more progress
sive, according to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson and his assistants in the
crop review of the year 1911, which
gives special attention to the progress
made by the Maryland farmer.
The review, which was issued recent
ly also discloses the facts that in dairy
and truck farm products Maryland has
made strides in the past II months
equaled by few other States in proper
ton to population. In cattle raising
and the production of wool the State
is taking a higher rank with each year,
while in truck farming the proximity
of it's counties to the large centres OF
population is giving this industry high
er rank each year.
Over go, 900 acres were in corn last
year, an increase of 10000 acres ovel
1910. The crop of 1911 was valued al
$15, 4O7. 900, or more than 81, 800, 600
