FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL Girl
ton TO Designs Suitable to Some
what Trying Age.

Heretofore there has been a lack
OF properly fitting clothes for girls
from eleven 10 fifteen years OF age.
Girls OF such ages are too young for
misses clothes and too old for chill
dren's sizes There are now sizes to
suit these ages. The waists and hips
OF these dresses are cut larger than
for misses. The bodices are usually
OF simple style. many having the low
neck and three-quarter sleeve or the
sleeve that turns at the elbow.
Serviceable two-piece dresses have
the modified MILDLY blouse, with a
skirt of contrasting material The
fiounce skirt is also we'll liked. For
school wear serges, gabardines and
black and white checks are used. as
are also the smaller Scotch plaids.
Coats for these misses are made
with odd yoke effects, raglan sleeves,
kimono collars and belts placed at the
low waist line. Some coats have the
flare, which is so fashionable in wo-
mems coats, produced by the use OF
} two fiounces edgipg the coat. or by
cutting the coat in two sections, the
lower Of which has considerable full
ness. The materials for these coats
include serges. gabardines. novelty
worsteds and silks, smart checks.
fancy mixtures. poplins. worsteds in
crepe effects and ratines.
Collars and cuffs are of lace, batiste
embroidery or crepe embroidered in
white or colors Fancy silk collars
are used on some of the cloth coats.
Novelty buttons are a prominent trim
ming, being in matching or contrast
! ing colors In addition to navy blue
the popular colors are tango, sage

Just doesn't take the trouble.
On the part of some, this hesitancy
to acquire a large mirror is some
times due to a dislike for the usual
mirrored furniture TO be seen in the
shops-and the prices. OF course, all
mirrors are expensive, every one
knows that, and so, when laying out
the money for one, it should be Of a
design which appeals to the owner.
Mirrors have two other very impOr-
tant uses. They make a small room
look larger and they make a dark
room lighter Either one of these
uses provides a sufficient reason for
having one or more mirrors about,
without considering their transcen-

Oat SMUT may be prevented by
similar seed treatment TO the one
given for the sinking smut Of wheat
There is not as much danger from
smut balls remaining in the treated
seed. but IL any smut masses are seen
they, OF course, should be skinned
of and destroyed just as in the case
OF wheat smut.
The covered smut of barley is an
other cereal disease with an estimated
average annual loss of two per cent.
of the crop. This smut is most no.
ticeable several days after the barley
has fully headed out. The smutted
heads are darker in color than sound
heads and the kernels are composed
Of greenish-black masses OF smut.
These are not blown away by the
wind but remain until the grain is
harvested and threshed, when the
smutted heads are broken up. Many
of the smut masses are not blown out
by the threshing machine but remain
with the grain, smearing it with smut.
The spores of the smut get on to
sound seeds and are lodged in cracks
and crevices of the seed coat until the
seed terminates in the spring, when
/ the young smut plant also begins TO
| grow inside of the barley plant. This
smut also can be prevented by treat
/ ing the seed with formalin in the same
manner as for the sinking smut of
wheat and oat smut.

and Southwest. 1t is not so easily OBJ
served by the farmer as are most OF
the other grain smuts. The young
smut head takes on a gray or whitist
appearance. and as it develops the
smut masses in the kernels become
dark brown or black. Usually smut
masses are not broken and blown
about to any extent in the field bu
remain as they are formed until har
