ALONG SIMPLE LINES
ORNATE DROPPED FROM MODERN
DECORATIONS.
u Has Been Found That the Best Re-
suits Can BE Obtained by Sim
pIlcIty-FurnIture Set
40 Example.

There Is a certain decorator In New
York who employs children, preferably
under ten years OF age. to design and
apply the painted decorations on his
furniture, writes Ethel Davis Seal In
the Washington Star. Children older
than that. or adults. know too much, he
says, to obtain just the simple. crude.
but effective results which he desires.
There is also designer in Paris who
resorts to the public schools for the
same reason. The children here, he
finds, produce the simple but strong
designs. which he cannot procure from
the average professional worker.
One OF these men Is the decorator OF
houses. The other il a designer Of
clothes. The decorator il the product
OF the era; the designer has seized
the spirit Of the era, and embodies It In
his creations. We admire and adopt
his styles for our apparel, and we ad-
mire the same modern influence In
house furnishings. which we find mani
tested on every side. But do we stop
to think about 1t and analyze why this
is SO, and how can we best make use
Of this modern feeling without abusing
1t? For. not only Is It possible to en-
tirely overdo It. 1t is also quite likely
that timid ones will be afraid to at
tempt 1t at all.
Occasionally have spoken to you OF
the daring use OF black and white; Of
the strong effect to be got from the use
Of supposedly uninteresting checks.
stripes and dots; Of an effective note
Of orange, or a turkey-red bowl. But
this is, when summed up, simply the
result Of the new movement. Some
call II Futurist, some Cubist, some
rank Impressionism. but i believe It
may be termed simply modernism"
Let who will deride the movement, and
point the finger Of scorn; but who can
say that we ridicUle the simple art Of
the Egyptians, where effect was often
obtained in the simplest, crudest
way; or the more perfect art Of the
Greeks, where simple line decorations

Chiffon Dancing PettIcoat.

There is a new chiffon dancing pet
ticoat with two strips Of whalebone to
keep It, and the frock worn over 1t,
out about the hips. But do not take
this to heart as an indication that
hoopskirts OF the old sort are really
here or that the skirt Of the summer
is really any fuller about the bottom
than ever. Styles are slow in their
development, even though they are
foreshadowed for many months. and
the skirt of the moment is still far
from full at the bottom. This chiffon
petticoat, in spite Of its balloonlike
proportions at the hips. is scant at
the bottom, for it is shirred and pulled
into slight dimensions.

ing occupation, and the introduction
of new crops, were reported by al
most every officer.
The institute work also has been
reinforced by so-called county demon
stration campaigns, in which group
of four specialists has gone to county
and has held farm demonstration
meetings throughout the week. TWEEN.
ty.two such meetings were held in a
Cowley county campaign in April,
with an attendance of over 40. The
same number of meetings took place
in Bourbon county one week in May,
with an attendance of 700.
County schoolhouse campaigns to
emphasize and explain some pressing
agricultural need of a county have
also been conducted during the year.
These campaigns have been carried
on by agricultural agents and college
representatives, two meetings being
held each day, one at o'clock in the
afternoon in a schoolhouse and an
other at 7:30 in the evening In a
schoolhouse in another part Of the
county. Such county campaigns were
conducted in the counties Of Labette,
Cherokee, Wilson, Allen and Ieaven-
worth, with an approximate attend
ance of 900 people in each county.
The subject in the first three counties
was silos; in the last two, silos and
dairying.
Other such campaigns are being
planned for the coming year, and
those counties which show the great
est desire and eagerness for them will
be the ones supplied.
District farmers conventions or in
stitutes we're held at two places dur
ing the year. at Oakley, in western
Kansas, and at Parsons, in southeast
ern Kansas. These meetings were ad-
dressed by the heads Of departments
OF the agricultural college and by
President Waters. There was an
average attendance Of more than 500
people at each session Of the Parsons
meeting, while between 300 and 400
attended the Oakley meeting. Every
one present became enthusiastic for
this type OF convention.
II possible, similar conventions will
be held in three or more representa-
tive places in the state during the COM
ing season. Cards win soon be sent
to each institute oficer Of the state
TO ascertain the time preferred for
holding the annual meetings. and the
subjects which each institute wants
presented by college representatives.
Just as soon as these are filled in and
returned, definite schedules win be
made out, the work win be planned.
speakers win be assigned, and another
institute season win be on.

DAINTY H0T-WEATHER FRocK
With Variety Of Materials to Choose
From, Fascinating Designs
Are Possible.

There are, perhaps, no more fasci-
mating frocks to design and make than
those intended for afternoon wear dur
ing the summer. The infinite variety
of dainty materials at hand to choose
from and the dainty colorings season
able give ample scope for working out
all kinds of pretty and picturesque
ideas, far more 90, indeed, than In
winter, when heavy cloths and velvets
are necessary.
This year, especially. the shops are
showing vast range Of silks and mus
Inns, voiles and crepons, that almost OF
themselves suggest new schemes.
So exquisite are the patterns and
shades in which they are produced
that one h impelled to give two de-
signs for summer gowns that can be
charmingly carried out in any OF these
thin materials, and In colorings to suit
the individual fancy. One gown In
apron style shows the folds Of the
drapery arranged in this manner. It
is far more becoming to many figures
than the full all-around tunic. This lit
tie gown would look very nice made
up in pale mauve and pink shot tat

skirt being quite plain, while the apron

That the growth is healthy Is evi
denced by the fact that no institute
Is now organized except on the de
mand Of local people who appreciate
what the organization means to the
community. Each year a few insti
tutes fall by the wayside, thirteen hay
ing become comatose or dead in 1913
1914. These may Sumber on for q
while, but for every one Of them three
others are born to grow and develop
into virile organizations. Even the
dead ones may come to life again. In
most cases 1t needs only the efforts
Of one or two men or women to bring
this about. This has been proved
again and again by Institutes in Kan
sas. For year or two a certain or
ganization may not do much and then
it will come back" more vigorous
than ever. Not only that there will
be a demand for large number OF
new Institutes this year, but that
many will come back" with renewed
enthusiasm because Of the splendid
promise Of crops, desire for informa-
ton, and general optimism in the
state, is certain.
There Is now at least one institute
in every county in the state. Sumner
is the banner county for Institutes,
having eleven. Several other coun-
ties have from six to ten. OF the
440 Institutes in the state, 40S we're
visited by representative Of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College during
the season of 19lS-1914. and about
1000 local speakers addressed these
meetings. Two hundred and eighty
one-day institutes were held and 12S
two-day meetings, with total Of 962
sessions. In addition to the meetings
held when the agricultural college
representatives were present. the In.
stitutes met, on an average. 1888
times during the year, the entire Tro-
gram at these monthly meetings be-
ing furnished by local talent. Some
institutes met every month during the
year. At the meetings attended by
college representatives there was an
aggregate attendance OF 10000, not
counting the attendance at street
demonstrations and lectures given be-
fore high schools. In addition, two
institute trains were run with ia
stops, 8 lecturers, and an attendance
Of 29,445. Independent and special
topic institutes to the number Of fifty
were held, with fifty sessions and a
total attendance Of 5000. The round
Up institute, known as the State
Farmers Institute, held at the agri-
cultural college, had q registered at
tendance Of 9S4.
In an investigation Of the results
from institute work made in 1913, q
QUESTIONABLE was sent to all the In
stitute officers in the state, and 27S
institutes responded. OF these, $40
institutes reported that definite re-
suits from institute work could be OBJ
served In the community, while -,

You enjoy perfect utility sooner
