CRAZE NOW IS FOR
QUAINT CUT SMOCKS

New York, May l6.-There really
seems to be sort of "baek to the
farm movement among the fashions.
There's a perfect craze for quaint
smoeks of eolored linen cut exactly like
those affected by honest Gaffer Gray,
and all the other perfectly good old
English tenantry.
It's far cry from a matched cot
tage in rural England to an apart
ment or house in an American city but
the smock adapts itself beautifully as
well as artistieally to all the mod
ern improvements and looks even more
delectable on peach than peasant.
Modelled on the same loose lines as
the actual peasant smocks they reach to
the knees and are made of loose woven
linen in lovely shades of old blue, old
rose, leaf green, orange, or in fact any
shade you want them. Their round
turned-over collars and cuffs may be
of contrasting shade or the same
material and the shocking that char
aeterizes the yoke in front, or back, or
both, as you choose, is prettiest caught
with thread of blending eolors.
They are indeed charming as well
as a practical adjunct to your summer
wardrobe, either to slip on when you
"eOme into the garden Maude" and
dig among your poises or to wear just
around the house in lieu of regulation
apron effect.
OF course we long ago reveled in the
charm Of the smock and shocking for
the kiddies and artists discovered their
practicability for studio work but now
that they have been offered for general
consumption we can I help feeling quite
shocked to think we all haven't been
shocked as well as frocked long, long
dgo.
Another farm fashion is the tendency
of all millinery to burst forth not into
bloom but into fruit. Cherries appear
to be the favorite fruits of the moment
and are found on the very best heads
not only as a hat trimming but even as
eOiffure or ornaments.
1t seems natural tendency of the
cherry to go to ones head whether it
be on a hat or in a cocktail. Tiny
oranges, peaches, apples, grapes, straw
berries, lemons, plums, currants and
even goOseberries are pressed into serv-
ice as hat adornments. Indeed there
seems to be no forbidden fruits for
Fashion.
From the farm yard comes also the
coekseomb frill. The fullness of a taf-
feta skirt is drawn up into a hustle
effect behind and jutting pertly out of
the centre of the entire length of the
hustle are two frills with pinked edges
that end in the girdle. With the frock
developed in a bright red coral taffeta
the effect of the cockscomb is startling
realistic. This fad of the moment is
certainly d cocky one.

when he was going around the stalls,
and in some way missed the manger
which he tried to grasp to break the
fall, and his left side came in contact
with the solid boards. The fall knock
ed the wind out of him but further
than that Hickman did not think he
was hurt to any extent He harnessed
his horses and went about his work
as usual until evening, when he began
to feel catch in his left side every
