The gathering of the Democratic

ACCORDION PLATING.

ACCORDION plating is enjoying a rather
unexpected favor. A charming blouse is
made with a section extending yokewise,
from the back to the front, of ACCORDION
plated chiffon. The rest of the blouse Is
made of all-over lace over tulle. Charm
ing tunics of the new, long sort are made
OF ACCORDION plated chiffon or net. Ono
model that has attracted attention-it is
a Cabot model-shows an ACCORDION
plated tunic OF chiffon embroidered with
big discs about the bottom, four or five
of them of graded sizes in upright rows.
The tunic is cut to match the hem of the
skirt at the back, but in the front It
only reaches to within eight inches of the
hem. There are other frocks with plain
tunics and foundation skirts Of accord
eon-plaited taffeta.

Forest officers have considered this
weed a nuisance. since it is the nature

areas and kill of other vegetation. 1t
is particularly a pest on stock ranges.
In line with its policy of range improve

forest areas of all such injurious plants.

that the commercial demand for soap
weed will soon reach such proportions
that it will not only take an otherwise
useless product, but also will eradicate
It from areas which could be utilized to
better advantage for the supplying Of
