On Monday morning a public
meeting was held at the Commercial
Club rooms at which the committee
to make canvass for cove made
their first report and the showing
was strong one from most all
sections of the county. The enthus-
iasm everywhere is great and some
of the smaller towns are making a
showing that is remarkable. Nc
Clave made the biggest showing
outside of Lamar itself. and Bristol
was right close on its heels, and
Wiley and Hartman not far behind.
All these are live towns and the
farmers around them realize the
immense benefit that q big dairy

four thousand cows will be pledg

crease over the showing made twt
years ago. but can be greatly in

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

The lines of the afternoon costume here
shown are unusually good. 1t complies
adequately with the straight up and
down silhouette prescribed by fashion for
youth and style. The blouse and tunic,
which extends to the knees. are of sap
phire blue silk broche. The blouse has
long sleeves cut in one with the body and
has the front edges surpliced and finished
with a banding of skunk. The cuffs, too.
are of fur. A little tucker of white satin
fills in the V neck. The skirt has scant
gathers, evenly distributed at the waist
and fastens on one hip with a row of
silk-covered buttons.
The development of the tunic is most
novel and interesting. AS has been men,
toned before, the broche tunic extends
from waist to knee; it is there taken in
slightly in even gathers under band of
skunk. Chiffon of the exact shade of
blue as the broche completes the tunic
length, being about a foot deep and
shirred at it's upper and lower edges. and
then finished with a second band of
skunk. This transparent border lends the
desired chic to the costume. The re-
mainder of the skirt length is in plain
satin and is set on from under the first
fur banding. 1t is draped and open in
front. with the edges caught blindly to
within a few inches of the bottom.
1t is an altogether desirable model and
should prove becoming to most women.
If reproduced in taupe or mulberry col
orings, with the dark fur to enhance the
color scheme, it would be a stunning
gown indeed

The Age Of Simplicity.
By Ruth Cameron.

| The other day I had occasion during
| the search for a certain house to walk
| up and down some of the finest streets
| in this city. past the homes not of the
wealthiest class, but of the most cultured
and educated, and one thing impressed
me very strongly about these homes, the
| fact that many of the windows were
utterly without draperies.
| There was a time when window
screened only by an ordinary window
| blind was the sign of dire poverty. The
wealthy had their expensive lace dra-
peries; the middle class had curtains of
| net or muslin: the poorer folks had their
CHASTITY limitations Of the wealthy-only
| the windows of the penniless We're bare
of draperies
Today the undraped window. into which
sunlight anc air can come unobstructed,
is to be found in the homes Of the upper
middle class.
Don't you think this is a good sign of
the times?
I do.
think it means that the age Of super
fluffy in household furnishings is giving
way to the age of simplicity.
We are rapidly getting rid Of carpets
in favor of the cleanliness and simplicity
of bare floors and rugs. Nay, more; the
rugs themselves are growing fewer.
There was a time when the thickness Of
a mans parlor carpet was an index to
his wealth. Today the nakedness Of his
drawing room or living room floors is al
most as good as Bradstreet l know one
lovely house where the only rug in the
living room is a beautiful tiger skin
thrown down in front of the open fire,
and another expensive house where there
is not a sign of rug in either of the
big drawing rooms.
OF course, there is danger of going too
far in simplicity. as We have been too
far In superfiuity, but, considering the
American temperament. l think that is
small. Think how many rooms you know
that are unattractive because they have
too much in them and then think Of how
few you know that are unattractive be-
cause they have too little, and the pro-
portion ought to reassure you as to any
immediate danger of our making our
homes too bare. The average person
could remove from one-quarter to one
half the furnishings and bric-a-brac in
his living room without making it bare.
And by SO doing he would add dignity
and value to what he left. few objects
attract and hold the eye; a great many
confuse and repel it.
Look around your home today and ask
yourself if you cannot make it more dig
nified and beautiful by making it more
simple.

Baked Apples With Walnuts.

Take five or six large tart apples, re-
move the cores carefully. being particular
not to break the outside skin. Fill the
cavities with walnut meats, then bake in
a quick oven. When done place in a
dish and pour over them whipped cream
or milk. Serve while hot. Do not take
the skin from the apples, otherwise they
will burst in cooking and spoil the beauty
of their appearance.
