Charming Robes In the Llshtest Of
Silks Well Suited for Wear on
Separate Occasions.

Alluring robes In delicately colored
crepe de chine and white lace are list.
ed as nightgowns, but may quite as
properly be worn as negligees, and
most women buy them for that pur.
pose. The back and front, each cut
from single breadth Of double-width
crepe de chine, are SO gradually
sloped from the lower edge-fnished
with an a-jourheaded hem-to the
bust. that nowhere is there an atom
too much fullness. At the top the
crepe de chine widths at back and
front are opened at the right side and
drawn in point to that shoulder.
while the other side is caught under
the left arm. The entire lower sec.
tion is swung from deep yoke OF
white lace whose neck is drawn taut
by ribbon run beading after the
robe is on. for there is no other open.
Ing and no fastening to bother with.
The elbow sleeves are simply wide
puffs Of lace ending in narrow rufties

TO BE POPULAR THIS FALL
Forecast Of Styles That Have Been
Settled On as the "Smartest

In the majority of fall models wom-

bonnet, mushroom and bell shapes
have given way TO the hat with an up
turned brim. and to be strictly in style
the brim must turn at the back.
II you are young and fair to look
on, by all means wear chinband on
your new fall hat. This can be OF vel
vet ribbon, taffeta or moire or Of tulle
and mallne. II can have fastening
by means OF hook and eye, or the
streamers can be tied at one side. CO
quettishly under one ear or just In
front. The chinband will be noticeable
on hats for afternoon and evening.
One cap is OF velvet. with puffed
crown and n visor which comes down
in front. At one side Is panache
mounting to n great height and giving
a dashing effect that would look well
with military suit.
On black velvet hat for evening
there is used chantilly lace for the
brlm and for the wired bow at the
back that holds the turned.up brim.
The sugar-scoop hat OF black velvet
will be typical fall style. 1t has no
clearly defined crown and the greatest
height is at the back. The tilt is
down toward the nose. and bandeau
is frequently the means to the end.
In boat.shaped hat the length from
front TO back is emphasized by hori-
zontal line OF feathers The brim flares
up decidedly at the side.
There has been inspiration in the
Jockeys cap, which is now shown in
green velvet, the brlm turned up at
the back and extending out in front.
Wired loops rise at the back.
A visor cap has a satin extension In
front. low crown and loops Of ribbon

From the early part OF August until
the end OF October the year-old stock
is going through period OF prepara.
tion for the coming winter by getting
rid OF the worn and old covering and
acquiring a beautiful new one. A
slight molt is also experienced by
some young pullets that have been
hatched very early in the year. The
only time We have ever had change
to observe this. however. was in the
case OF six Plymouth Rock pullets
that were hatched in February. These
began to lay In the latter part Of Au-
gust, and while they went through
slight molt in the last part Of Oc-
tober. this mott was go gradual that
it did not seem to affect the egg yield
to any noticeable extent. Other ex.
periences that we have heard Of differ
from this and the above is probably
the exception rather than the rule.
Generally speaking, 1t appears that
pullets hatched earlier than the first
part OF March will go through the molt
In October and November and may
not resume laying until late in jan
uary. Therefore. It would seem that
old hens or April and early May
hatched pullets are the most desired
for early winter laying and for breed.
Ing purposes.
Regarding the heavy molt which
happens after the pullet year. several
tests have been made from time to
time to see II this molt could be
forced" SO that the hens would re-
sumo laying at least in November. In
forcing the molt. the general plan is
to starye the flock for a period Of
from four to six weeks and then feed
heavily during the remainder OF the
period. II has generally been found.
however, that the fowls will molt al.
most as quickly under normal condi.
tions as they will II forced.
1t is not generally known that the

older birds). Therefore, II yearling

some cases the hens do not begin till
the last part OF October or early in
November. When such late molt
takes place the time for the complete
mott is generally not much more than
two months.
Since 1t has practically been proven
that forcing OF the molt is not effect.

stood by anyone that the shedding OF
feathers and the building up Of the
new covering is a strain on any fowl
and while the owner Is getting al
most no returns from his flock this Is
the time when their feeding should
be most carefully watched. The usual
habit Is, however. to neglect the flock
during this period simply because they
are not giving good resultn.
One OF the best recommended mix
lures to be fed the flock during the
molting period Is given below. This
does not vary much from the feed

lbs, oil meal / h.. alfalfa meal lb..

This latter mixture was used by the
Cornell experimental station in tests
along these lines.
Our general opinion Is that more
thought should be given this question
of molting. and that careful attention
should be given nocks at this time.
The days when so eggs per year per
hen would be considered sufficient
have passed and 1t is remembered
that we now throw out the hen with
such record and even criticize the
lOo'egg hen; we should also remember
that the results We expect cannot be
reached unless we give the flock the
best care that we possibly can and
consider no details too small to be
overlooked in the daily routine.
