THE SOUTH is GOING DRY.

Lay the jest about the julep in tht
camphor balls at last.
For the miracle has happened, and thu
olden days are past!
That which made Milwaukee famous
does not foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight
locked as can be;
And the comic-paper Colonel and his
cronies well may sigh.
For the mint is waving gaily, and the
south is going dry.
BY the still-side on the hillside in Ken
lucky all is still,
And the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill,
Nawth Ca 'lina's stately ruler gives his
soda glass a shove,
And discusses local option with the
So'th Ca'lina guy.
1t is useless at the fountain to be
winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, ana the
south is going dry!
1t is water, water, everywhere, and
and not drop to drink"
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink;
When the Colonel, and the Major, and
the Central, and the ledge,
Meet to have little nip, to give their
appetites an edge;
For the egg-nog now is nogless, and
the rye has gone awry,
And the punch bowl holds carnations,
for the south is going dry!
All the nightcaps now have tassels.
and are worn upon the head!
Not the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the bluegrass
is as solemn as is death,
For it bears no pugent clove-tang on
its odorific breath;
And each man can walk the chalk-line
when the stars are in the sky,
For the fizz-glass now is fizzless ana
the south is going dry!
Lay the jest about the julep meath the
chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moonshine,
and the older days are past,
The water wagon rumbles through the
southland on it's trip,
pick UP the drivers whip;
For the mint beds now are pastures,
and the corkscrew hangeth high;
All is still along the still-side, and the
south is going dry!

BATHING SUITS.

The bathing outfit of the summer
girl of 1914 is fascinating. No longer
does it consist solely of a serge or
mohair suit cut like all the other
bathing suits on the beach. A skin
tight rubber cap covered by gay ban
dana and shoes and stockings obvious
| ly designed to Withstand the assaults
of crabs and pebbles. 1t is as dainty
as garden party frock, with its at
tendant parasol, hat and slippers. One
of the new features is the cape of
serge. lined with gay stripes, designed
to wear over the wet bathing suit
Another is the rubber silk bathing
suit bag shown-a bag in which the
bathing clothes, damp or dry, can be
carried from the house or hotel to the
beach lighthouses and back again.
The newest features of the bathing
suits are waistcoats and collars. These
are made of organdy-and, of course,
when they are of organdy they need
daily refreshing pique and silk, and
it must be admitted the flaring collar
is an improvement to the customary
plainness of any bathing suit. An
other new feature is the diminu-
tive skirts on some. One recently
seen is made of scarlet satin, bound
with black, and the skirt is hardly
more than short, full tunic. The
or flounced skirt, too, is
represented in bathing suits, and one
with three tiers, scalloped and bound
about the bottom is popular model.
There are corsage flowers of rubber,
as there was last year. and these are
used to trim bathing caps. There is
a useful cap, too, with visor that |
protects the eyes from the sun. And |
there are rubber silk garters, quite as
dainty as any worn in the boudoir.-
Exchange.

TALL MILLINERY TRIMMING.

Whatever the shape or the sizesof
the hat, very tall trimmings are given
preference, says the dry goods econ
omist. High effects in cog, hackle and
burnt ostrich are all in evidence.
High quill fancies, alone or in com
bination with bands, are favorably
mentioned.
The majority of these are made of
cog or goose feathers, wonderfully
colored.
Odd-looking birds with (slim tails
are smart. Long pointed wings of
hackle' are to continue a strong fea-
ture.

MAKE USE OF PARCELS POST.

Did you read those parcel post eX
perience letters in the Progressive
Farmer? They were interesting in,
deed, and from the many ways thest
correspondents have found the new
service of value to them we believe
all our readers may gain ideas thai
will be of great service in their future
buying and selling operations
These letters were uniformity opti-
mistic and enthusiastic-we feared
maybe little too much SO, for the
parcel post system still has patent de-
fects that must be corrected before it
becomes the highly efficient medium
between producer and consumer that
it should be in the United States anC
that it already is in some European
countries. AS an illustration, we now
have in type and expect to run at an
early date an article on marketing
poultry in France, in which it is stated
that dressed poultry, butter and eggs
are carried anywhere in that country
by parcel post at a cost of / cent a
pound. Think of what such rates
would mean to the farmers of the
United States.
But even as it is our parcel post
system is a great institution, one of
the soundest and most helpful legisla-
tive enactments turned out at Wash
ington in many day The point is,
let's use it more, and thus learn more
of its value. Only recently the post
-matser general issued an order au hor-
izing postmasters in certain cities to
prepare lists of farmers, dairymen
and poultry raisers who are prepared
to supply city consumers by parcel
post, and we hope that many Progress
i've Farmer readers are taking advan-
tage of this opportunity. We are by
no means claiming that the service is
as yet perfect; but we are certain that
by using the parcel post more we may
be in a better position to advise our
representatives in congress as to just
what is needed to make it what it
should be.-Progressive Farmer.

THE NEW sHIRTWAIsT.

Some inventive soul has brought
out a new Kind of shirtwaist that goes
outside the skirt, dropping like tunic
we'll below the waist. 1t is made OF
white or colored linen and has a far
ing collar, or one that lies fiat on the
shoulders.
Working on this idea, few young
women in New York have brought out
a child's frock in colOred linen with
shocking at neck and wrists, to be
worn as a blouse, or waist, or what
ever one might call it, over a white
linen skirt, or one of wooden. This is
primarily workman's blouse, and the
linen is dyed in the tone of blue with
which one is familiar in France, and
smart women who have gardens in the
country are adopting these workmen's
blouses for the out-of-doors, with
shade hat made of striped Bingham.
Even parasols are arranged to match,
and the effect is charming.
There is no reason why the woman
who remains in the house in town
should not find this shocked ,pinafore
of colored linen quite an admirable
substitute fol the ordinary white
shirtwaists. 1t does not soil easily; it
comes in alluring colors and is easier
to wear when working than the waist,
which must be confined with precision
beneath the belt of the skirt.
One cannot imagine this type of
blouse gaining Roadway as fashion
for the street under coat, for it
would be inconvenient; but it has
many points of merit for house wear,

SEPARATE JACKETS.

Conspicuous among the pretty things
in the way Of dress accessories for
summer are the little separate jack
cts and coats of silk, MORE and even
corduroy, says an exchange. These
jackets are worn over lingerie gowns
and contribute very comfortable
warmth for cool days and evenings.
One recently seen was in the popu-
lar tango shade. cut with bolero
fronts, fulled into a belt at the side
and had square tail effect at the
back. A. frill of lace edged the bolero
and bottom of the cuff. Corduroy-cov-
cred buttons trimmed this fetching
model

FASHION NOTES.

Bags are being made partly of bead
work and partly of silk.
Seersucker lingerie comes nowadays
with embroidery on It,.
Military collars appear on some of
the new automobile coats.
Glazed foliage and fruit are used to-
gether on many fashionable hats.
Smaller shoe buckles are in favor.
However, they are more elaborate
Bastiste and pique are one of the
oldest combinations of the summer.
When grown sleeves are full length
they must Be frilled at the hem.
The large picture hat is returning,
If II can be said to have ever gone out.
The present pleated tunics, it is said
win soon become straight, full skirts.
II is likely that military and Mex
lean features will appear in autumn
styles.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

In making jelly, If you get it too
sweet and have no more juice, put in
little pure cider vinegar. The jelly
will "jell" at once, and the flavor will
not be at all impaired.
A piece of sandpaper, over which
borax has been rubbed, is very con-
venient for ironing day-cleans and
wakes at the same time.
If you are caught in the rain and
the color comes off your coat onto
your blouse to soak in milk over night.
If the bottoms of pots and kettles
are creased before putting over the
fire they will not become black.

The Guests Comfort

Remember the comfort of the guest
when furnishing the dresser, it is
most awkard for the outsider who has
forgotten her brush and comb, or
some other important article of the
toilet, to ask her hostess to lend her
the necessary article. A complete
toilet set, including brush, comb, mir
ror, nail file, clothes brush, ETC., should
be laid out on top of the dresser. Also,
1t is a good idea to have little sew
ing bag in conspicuous corner, in
which can be found sewing thread,
needles, a thimble and scissors. Often
button comes loose, or some other
bit of sewing must be done, and if the
implements are there waiting to be
used, the guest will be truly grateful.

HOW TO MAKE THE GUEST ROOM
ATTRACTIVE AND COMFORTABLE.

No part of the home is more impOr-
tant than the guest room, for the rea-
son that the outsider will gain her
whole impression of the house in
which she is visiting from the cham
Der that is allotted to her. Therefore
the guest room must be as dainty and
attractive as possible, must be COM
fortably as well as artistically fur
nished, and decorated with an eye II
the needs of the guest.
Nowadays almost every home pos
sesses a guest room, and especially is
this so of the country cottage, for in
the country much visiting goes on
during the summer time. 1t matters
not whether the bedroom is large or
small-sometimes in small bungalows
it is no larger than good sized box
but the furnishings must be fresh and
dainty, and comfort must be the key
note of the room.
The Guest Room.
Much can be done with chintz or
cretonne to make room attractive
Also a can of white enamel will work
wonders in it's Identification. White
woodwork, white furniture and few
yards of chintz used as hangings and
coverings will make any bedroom a
bower of daintiness and beauty.
The home decorator of small means
can do much of the work herself. She
may need the aid of man to paint
the furniture or woodwork, but with
her own hands she can cut out, sew
and hang the chintz window hangings,
the bed, table and dresser coverings
of the same. These should be edged
with small ball fringe, which gives
a pretty but inexpensive finish to the
coverings.
If the woodwork is white the wall |
paper, if any is used, should be either
in cream white with a Powered bor-
der, or in some pale shade, striped |
effect being pretty if one doesn't wish
a solid color. Flowered paper in 4 |
small room diminishes the size of the
room, and for this reason is not to be
desired.
White furniture need not be special
ly purchased for the summer guest
room. If there are any old pieces of
bedroom furniture lying about the
house which are in need of a new
coat of paint, have them scraped and
painted cream white. They will
look quite as nicely as new furniture
and will not cost nearly so much. Sim
pie white iron bedsteads, provided
they boast comfortable mattress and
a good spring, will answer the purpose
Of good nights sleep just as well as
4 more expensive bed. And many OF
The iron bedsteads are so simple in
design that they are really objects of
beauty, especially when covered with
/ pretty chintz spread.
