The work is done here by immature,
untutored girls. who are told TO draw and
color any design ,hat is in their heads
These are invariably primitive but their
very lack of sophistication pieases.
Again are the spriSs and vines and tiny
flowers of other days. On . white ground
there will be a fat crude red rose in
MARITIME red, which is the tone that is
given to the new kind of glass used for
country houses. Again there Will be
large seometrical fgure in a wonderful
new shade of blue, produced at regular
intervals on a background OF white, and
the designer who makes this fabric into
a frock will add patch Of red, for blue
and red make noteworthy combination
this season.
There are cotton crepes that have uSht
little roses in brilliant colors placed at
regular intervals: and there are chiffon
clothes which are covered with flowers
and leaves in deep pink, green and pale
blue.
One of the best gowns made for the
spring is of this latter material. and the
narrow skirt has three fiounces placed
around it in corkscrew fashion, each one
attached with round piping of terra
Gotta satin The loose kimono sleeves
end at the wrists. The bodice is draped
across a vest of tea-tinteG lace. and the
belt is OF terra Gotta and green satin
ribbon
The tunc. which is attached to the
blouse. is not of the ninaret variety. Its
I fullness gives it a ripping flare at the
hem, and it is long enough 10 reach to
the knee line at the back and is gathered
in front into a box pleat.

Probably the woman who does not care
for the satin and silk weaves in summer
Will take up figured crepe de chine and
cotton crepe The latter is said to be an
Improvement over the cotton crepe which
tried our patience because it usually
shrank into nothing. One could buy
gown of this material and find il a big
, handkerchief after washing
This new weave is quite soft and il
does not need starch and they say it
should not be ironed. but in its present
condition il does not look rough dry, as
did the cotton crepe of three years ago.
! There is much talk about the use of
| blouses of figured and lowered materials
| instead of white ones with coat suits.
1 1t is not an artistic idea and should not
be largely INDUCED.
! Here and there the blouse of ecru

( occasion for wearing this is rare and the
artistic taste of the weai>r must be well

! More tolerance may be given TO the
idea of using figured chiffon cloth blouSes.
/ The fabric is infinitely better than that
of crepe and the coloring is less vivid.
/ Soft autumn tints are used. especially
, those of dead green and russell brown.
/ These blouses are lined with a brassiere
Of lace that aces not extend over the

these colors in the blouSes to the color

effort TO bring about brilliant blouses of
satin o. chiffon with suits of a markedly

hands OF those not versed in color lore.
Because of its suitability to good taste
the allwhiteb louise of fine materials is
the best to choose for spring and summer
street suits.
We have gone long way from the
ornate wash waist which was worn in
! the days when women spent their leisure
in loading il down with lace and en-
broidery. with hemstitching and feather

New York.-Six hundred mosquitoes
ranging in size from a gnat to a pier
odactyl, were held up here when the
Carl Schurz docked because the GUS
toms officials could not find the duty
on mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes. which were accom-
panied by DR.. Emilio MARITIME. from
the Isthmus of Panama, were admit
ted finally under bond to keep the
peace. They will start for Germany
on the first ship, to be studied by SCI
entists there.
Lucius Ford, a fellow passenger
with Doctor MARITIME, said that outside
the canal zone mosquitoes sometimes
appeared In such thick clouds the light
was shut out. He said that mosqui-
to cloud last summer darkened Puerto
Cahello for three days. But Mr.. Ford
is not scientist. He, however, agreed
with Doctor MARITIME that the pests
have been practically eliminated
from the canal zone.

REAL PEARLS IN GEORGIA
Probably Taken From Same Streams
as Those Obtained by De Soto
From Indians.

Atlanta, Ga.-There are real pearls
TO be found In Georgia, and they are
fine ones, too DR.. s. w. McCallie,
state geologist, is in receipt of pearl
taken from mussel in the Chatta-
nooga river, which is a stone OF very
fine quality and is valued at $125.
According to DR.. McCallie, there
are just as genuine and just as fine
pearls to be found in the humble moi
lusks of the rivers of northwestern
Georgia and eastern Tennessee as
may be obtained from the East In
dian fisheries.
This is not the first pearl to be
found, nor by any means the most
valuable one either. Some time ago
a magnificent stone, weighing 700
grains, was found, and, after being
dressed. was disposed of to New
York jeweler for 500.
According to DR.. McCallie, as long
ago as when De Soto made his ex-
ploration trip through Georgia, In the
early part Of the sixteenth century,
the Indians were found TO be In pos
session of number of valuable
pearls, some Of which they disposed
of to the explorer. This probably led
to the reports that we're current
among the Spaniards of the marvel
lous riches OF the country.
Dr. McCallie Is OF the opinion that
these stones, which De Soto obtained
somewhere in the vicinity of Rome.
were Chattanooga river pearls.
The tradition connected with De
Soto's visit had long since been for
gotten. however. and only recently has
pearl gathering in the streams Of
northwestern Georgia given promise
again Of becoming an important indus
try.

Fall Fresh Cows.

Spring fresh cows yield most OF
their milk when low prices prevail
for dairy products and the dairyman
is busiest with the crops. In winter
such cows yield only small flow OF
milk at most. On the other hand, q
fall fresh cow gives a large supply
OF milk during the winter and flushes
again with the stimulus Of pasture
In springtime. Fall fresh cows should
annually yield from 10 to 10 per cent
more milk than those calving in the
spring.
