Still, even youthful charms may be en-

Just where this break shall appear is

Fortunately, today the difficulty OF

does not keep up TO date in such mat

is because she is unobserving. All she
sees are the freak hats she meets In the

imagines must be the fashion.
She does not go further and find out

but concludes that she must either go on
wearing her old hat or see herself in one

MILADY'S VANITY CASE.

Milady's vanity case now takes vari-
Gus forms She is likely to carry a tiny
powder pun in the small glass box with
a top in colored enamel under which a
mirror is sunken. The smartest of these
come in sterling silver enameled with
gray, blue, pink or lavender, and they
are apt to be found in a bridge bag. a
matinee bag or beside the clock case in
the limousine
The fat vanity case Of locket size is
sometimes suspended from the neck
chain, but usually it hangs from the
chatelaine or is attached to the purse
handle. II is of sterling silver, decor
ated with colored enamel and not in
frequently is jewel-set
The dainty little powder bags in satin
must not be overlooked These are
barely two inches square and their puffs
are mere huffs Of swansdown gather d
under a silver stem. But they are large
enough to whiten the. tip Of a nose and
its owner may see this feature reflected
in the silver quarter-sized mirror form
ing the base Of the bags outer side.

COVERS FOR BRIDGE TABLE.

The woman who plays cards or who
has friends who play, is interested in
making linen covers for card tables,
These may be hemstitched or scalloped
and either initiated or numbered on one
side of the corner so that the mark
shows on top of the table. but yet is
not in the way of the players.
These initials or numbers are worked
in hand embroidery and often represent
considerable labor. They should meas
ure about three inches. On white linen
the markings look better worked in white
mercerized cotton, but on tan linen
which many people prefer because II
does not spoil so readily, colored embroid-
cry gives a most artistic finish. Shades
of delft blue, greens and golden browns
all show off well on the tan linen.
A pretty set prepared as a gift for a
linen wedding anniversary consisted of
four cloths marked one, two. three and
four. The numbers were quite large
and fat and were filled in entirely with
French knots of a rather light delft
blue outlined around the edge with a
darker thread. The cloths, which were
tan, hemsttched were folded into tri-
angles with the embroidered numbers
in the apex Put together in a box
they formed a square Gifted into each
other with the number toward the CEN
teri, then they were held in place by
delft ribbon meeting in the center with
e bow of many loops.

SIMPLE EMBROIDERY.

Have you noticed the attractive bed
room sets embroidered with the simple
lazy-daisy stitch? They are lovely
enough to attract the attention of any
woman who admires bright color and
flower designs. The background usually
chosen for these sets is ecru or deep
cream linen and the designs are baskets
filled with daises or asters, old-fash-
ioned bouquets of the same flowers or
garlands arranged in festoons about the
edge.
1t is easier to take the dimensions of
your dresser and chiffonier to a needle
work shop and have the linen stamped
: there in any design you may prefer.
Select merceriZed cotton of a not-too-
heavy quality, in rich tones of purple,
dark rose, yellow and green. to en-
broider the flowers and foliage. A few
flowers may be embroidered with white
if you desire.
The petals of the asters or daises are
filled in with the lazy-daisy stitch and
the yellow centers with French knots.
Buttonhole-stitch the edge in small
scallops. using heavier cotton to match
the linen. If the edging of cluny lace
is stitched 10 this, the effect will be de-
cidedly pleasing.
When making the pincushion, scallop
the lower section also and border II with
the lace, so that when the top and bot
tom are laced together the double edg-
ing Of lace will contribute dainty fin
ish to the cushion.
You will find the three pieces. consti-
tuting the set, completed in less than
no time This is the advantage of using
the lazy-daisy stitch.
Other designs show flowers such as for
get-me-nots. miniature roses, and other
diminutive blossoms packed into baskets
or TO form bouquets.

dance, II the man who is her escort in
whom she has confidence whispers in her

try: trust me to help you glide along''
No wonder after that. you can take
heart of grace, go through the intricate
mazes Of the tango or hesitation and
come out with flying cOlors.
The escort who SAYS. on the contrary,
to his girl: Don't attempt to go out on
the floor unless you are sure you can
accomplish the steps" would make even
the girl who had been certain of her pow
ers hesitate lest she might make blum

like courage to go on with the dance,

This is the day of the suburb-more

JOY green trees. grass and flowers. Now
all this is changed because of the i'm
provement in car service. Thirty years
ago the man of means took the train to
his suburban statiOn-was met there and
driven to his home. Now even those liv-
ing on small incomes may enjoy the
quiet. the sweet air. the wholesome en-
vironment of the near country life
without its former expenses and draw
backs The electric cars, linking all
large cities with a perfect circle of out
lying settlements. have made this possi-
hle. Even the workingman has been
thought of during the last decade and
many comfortable houses within reach
of his pocketboOk can be found. There
are no longer the old obstacles of no

and all the other advantages of city life
have followed the car lines. Fields,

giving and restful. You will have good

MAKEUP OF YOUNG HEIFERS
Inheritance Of Quality and Quantity Of
MIX Seem to Be Separate-Lots
to Be Learned

Roughly speaking, 25 per cent of
sire or dam is transmitted to the of.
spring. Where test such as milking
quality can check this the female will
show slight preponderance, 20 per
cent.
This refers to high-producing COWS,
and with them the ratio Of high to me-
dium offspring is about half and half,
while with medium producing COWS
with better bulls the high producers
would be but one high to seven me-
dium. There are indications, though
no proof, that production is linked to
a sex factor, milk production being SO
closely interviewer with sex.
Inheritance Of quantity and quality
Of milk seem to be separate, the num-
Der of fat globules in given quantity
of milk being about the same, the diff
ference in the per cent Of fat being
due to larger globules.
There is a chemical difference be-
tween large and small globules, the
former containing softer, lighter fats;
the character Of the fat may also de-
termine the size Of the globule. Prob
ably much of the heredity for produc
ton lies in the size and character OIL
the globules. We are still in the stage
Of investigating these things without
being able to make positive state
ments, but the young dairyman will
come to more positive knowledge by
and by.

Advocates Commission Form OF Gov
ernment For NJ. A. c.
College Park.-At the fall quarterly
meeting of the board of trustees of the
Maryland Agricultural College, Presi-
dent H. ]. Patterson advocated COM
mission form of government for United
States land-grant colleges, and in order
that such a form may be inaugurated
in Maryland rendered his resignation
as president, to take effect July l,
1915.
He has held the position since May
l, 1913, during which time he has
effected a reorganization of the
college work into schools or divisions.
In completing this reorganization he
believes that the most effective method
|of administering the different activities
of the college will be through the
establishment Of an administrative
commission. He said in part:
State institutions established under
the provision of the Land Grant act
and drawing funds from national ap-
preparations are different from other
educational and investigational insti-
tutions. They are required to engage
in three distinct lines of work. First,
research work, whereby scientific facts
related to agriculture may be acquired;
second, extension work, or the carry
ing of the results of this research work
- ,J,,1+ eorvo v,oau ond uouonn and
demonstrating these results at their
very doors; third, college work, or the
instruction of the youth of the State
in agriculture, mechanic arts and mill
tary science.
Each Line Should BE Developed.
These three lines of work are dis
tinct from each other and should be
given equal prominence, support and
development in order to make we'll
balanced institution.
"The work of these three classes or
divisions requires men of different
training, temperament and inclina-
tions. No one man has the ability to
pursue all with equal success. To
avoid the oVer-deVelopmento OF any one
line of work owing to the natural in
clination of any one man toward a
given line of work, 1 believe that
commission form of government will
bring the greatest success in the ad-
ministration of land grant college.
"The commission should be made up
of the director of the experiment sta
tion, the director of college work and
the director of extension work, and
one of these directors should be
designated as president or chairman
of the commission. The commission
should act jointly on all matters that
affect two or more branches of the in
stitution, but each director should be
held responsible for the specific lines
of work which belong to his division"
