COVERT COATING.

The coming season will be a record ont
for silks. The fact Is well established
from reports received both from abroad
and from the leading silk manufacturer
at home. The impressionists, lovers OF
strong .colors. have even entered into this
arena the new brocades suitable to day
wear, showing a number Of conventionally
designed. conventionally colored novelties.
But the silk that il likely to make q
small furore is covert coating quality.
This covert coating has already estab-
lished reputation Of worth, and it 10 sur
missed that every fastidiously equipped
wardrobe will possess . coat and skirt
built of 1t, much in the way It was deemed
necessary to own q tussore costume Q few
years back. At present the tones are
mostly neutral. but these suffice. There
are also some silk reps. that the leading
dressmakers are keenly interested over.

Patchwork Tournament q New
STYLE of Enferfainment.

Patchwork Tournament q New
Style Of Entertainment.
n N amusing entertainment. which has
IN lately been held in London at one Of
the hotels, was a patchwork tourna-
msnt in which both men and women took
pat. The entertainment was organised
BY a group of young women who belong to
fine Patchwork Club. Two hundred and
fifty persons participated in the tourna-
ment.
Partners were chosen for the tournament
and two couples placed at each table. Eacn
one was equipped with a plain square OF
muslin and heap of colored pieces OF
which TO make the patches. and needle
and thread with which to attach them.
The couples worked together. the men as
a rule cutting out the pieces. while the
women sewed them to the muslin square.
On large board at one end OF the room
the patchwork squares were pinned up 80
that all might see them. The couples
finished their work as soon AZ they could
and then FASTENED to the other tables 90
that they might watch the agonies OF
their friends in their efforts to arrange the
pieces with the best effect. At the end
of the tournament prizes were awarded

aigrettes or paradise ornaments that were
the rule during the winter and that made
a great sameness in headgear, for in spite
of their expense and prohibition on this
side they were in great evidence in femi-

The bright ribbons, flowers and fruits

hats In those that are feather trimmed
the ostrich plumes that are twisted on the
stems have the charm of novelty. The
small picot straw gray hat shown here is
wreathed in gray feather fronds and with
one Of these twisted feathers bent intoSa
pretty and unique shape.
The new sailor hats come under the
head of the medium sized millinery and
they are often jauntily tip-ilted on the
head by means of bandeau into be-
coming angle with the face. On this
band under the brim q small flower
wreath, q cluster Of roses, or knots of
ribbon are posed, while perhaps the
crown is simply banded by strap of
velvet or of swathed satin, or, if bowl

material, which has been purposely cut
long, to blouse all about the skirt or bel,

Sleeves are cut with a wide shirt size
arm hole and a bishop fulness that
gathers into a cuff with or without ruffle
or pleated frilL All seams are marked
BY an entre-deux beading, and hens in
the edges are often run with medium
sized cords, separated from each other
by parallel rows of machine stitching.
Picot edges, which may also be success
fully initiated by hand, finish raw I'M
hemmed edges, especially of china silk
and chiffon.
Collars are inconspicuous and are all
sorts Of small shades. The novelty is to
have two or three different colors or
materials, one placed over the other, the
lower ones extending beyond the upper.
Sailor knots and ties are the most popu-
lar cravats, especially those of thick
cotton cord ending in tassels.
The chiffon and net waists are also
made in the same simple designs; the
chiffon ones are of two thicknesses, the
under layer flesh pink, the net simply
laid in two thicknesses to make it less
without taking away from
the diaphanous look. In many models

graceful, shaped bouquet of shaded pink

color note.
| Flowers placed under the hat brim are
one of the innovations of the season, for
head bands of any sort have not been
| used for several years. The small black
straw hat worn with this white voile
gown has such a bandeau covered by q
close wreath of black daisies, ard over
the brim edge drops ruffle of malines
At the back is placed quaint flat ribbon
bow, the rather short ends dropping at
the back.
Charmeuse, that beautiful soft satin so
becoming to women, has rightly had
great success these last two seasons for
daytime wear as we'll as for evening, and
it bids fair to continue its vogue through
the coming season. Buttoning straight
down the front, gathered lightly into the
belt, the simple white charmeuse daytime
gown shown on this page, blouses in
modish fashion above the violet folded belt
The flat turned over collar is also violet,
outlined with a full ruffie of pleated
shadow lace, and double row of violet
satin buttons are used instead of those
of white satin that close the frock.
It is the blousing of the material over
the belt and the light gathering of it into
the skirt that stamps the distinctive
models of this summers simple gowns. /
All do not look well, however, in these
bloused corsages, though the time has
gone by when those of stouter girth think
that the style of vaguely fitted garments
adds to their size, unless, of course, they
are badly shaped.
Transparent stuffs, stout women can
and do wear, made in the same shaped
gowns as for thin women, for the figure
shows through so it does not look thick

part in the tournament had worked on,
elaborate designs, others had used COM
paratively simple ideas but had produced
an effect by cutting their patches so that
striking and unusual effect was pro-
duced. Flower designs were cut from
colored material and sewed on a lighter
background. foliage designs were applied
in the same manner, being made of dark
green, brown or autumn tints on a con-
trasting background. Figure patches.
showing birds. animals and persons, were
also cut out and sewed on the patches.

They are all made on very much the

to the shoulder while others descend un-

Then there are the heavy white silk It's

material used, but this is far from being
like the cotton velvets, for it is quite dn'

weave and also make splendid tailor

have uneven threads that give a pretty
texture, and often the very heavy and
thickened threads are in different tones
The bordered white voiles show bands of
these different contrasting weaves, white
or in color.
Moire charmeuse, silk wolfe and silk
crepe are also as good fashion this year
as last the changes in styles make them
seem like different materials this season.
Three Paris models made in latest style

shown on this page.

front that opens below to make a rather
short slash. The coat buttons with ball
buttons that look like ivory and the bishop
shaped sleeve is banded in with a narrow
strap fastened with one of these buttons.
A very deep drop shoulder seam adds some
pretty curved lines to the garment, and
a few tacks are tsken to modify fullness.

r. HOUGH small hats are correct and
popular for the moment, it is never
theless true that the medium sized
and large hats have many adherents
among women of fashion, for the tiny
shapes are not becoming to all and they
have been popularized long enough to have
set the designers to making new sizes to
vary the monotony of whole season of
the little tip-tilted affairs that are having
such an extraordinary vogue this spring.
Small hats, to be sure, are not all the

Although linen, which is so light, prac.
teal and smart in its simplicity, has not
quite lost its popularity for chemisettes,
the very fine cotton crepe is becoming
serious rival, for it has the great ad-
vantage of crushing less easily on account
of its having no starch in it. But since
it does not lend itself to being trimmed
with pleats, it is generally decorated with
old fashioned embroidery, made of the
same stuff, in the Moldavian and Persian
styles. which has had so much success

We heard one farmer say that

Texas where the farmers are
paying $4,000 per acre for land
on which they never can make
enough to pay for the land with
their crops. let alone making
good interest on their investment.
We talked with two young
farmers from another part of
Texas, and one of them told me
that eight years ago. there was
not a house between their
fathers farm and the mountains
twenty miles away. Everything
was devoted to ranching. Today
with the exception of one ranch
of 5000 acres, their father owns
the largest pasture in that
country, and that pasture has 1l3
acres in it. All this in eight
years. These two young men
then SAID that the conditions for
general farming were notas good
in that country as they are right
here in Lubbock. Ifsuch a thing
can happen under those condi-
tons somewhere else, how about
Lubbock with all its opportu-
mites? We believe that Lubbock
