It must be cut in the form of loose hip-length skirt, slashed to the bust line at either side of the front to form a sort of panel that is pouched over the waist line. The material at the sides is then draped up under the slashes until the lower fur-bound edge IS even with the pouching of the panel This only applies to the front, now ever. for the Embroidered edge de- scribes a slanting line toward the back where the length of the blouse is unbroken. Long sleeves are fin ished with turn-back cuffs of cream colored grosgrain silk. There is an upstanding military collar of the same.
 The skirt is in two parts. The un' der one consists merely of a gathered portion extending from hip to hip, US length broken by false yoke seam running several inches below the beit. The back of this underskirt can be or satin or taffeta, for 1t is completeiy covered by the tunic. The tunic IS full length across the entire back, put from the sides slants upward toward the center. It is slashed through the center and turned back over either hip, with just that turned-back portion bordered with fur at the bottom.
 Later on in the season, wren the warmer weather makes one tire of TUT trimmings, the fur may be remoVeu and an attractive change made by add ing sand colored faille collar and euhs' which color combines beautifully wlth the olive green.

a year are to be raised. If but one litter, the pigs may nurse 12 or 13 weeks: where two filters are pro- duced, the pigs cannot nurse longer than eight weeks. The sows should be separated from the pigs, only re. turning to them two or three times and then only long enough for the pigs to empty the udder.
 After weaning time the sows are no longer given the rich, heavy ration supplied during the nursing period. Until their milk flow stops they should be put on grass with plenty of fresh water to drink and given but limited allowance of dry feed.
 After the pigs are weaned they should be continued on the ration which had been given them when running with the mothers The ration can be most satisfactorily given in the form of thick slop and fed In

FASHIONS FANCY FOR SILK
Material Is Employed to Greater Ex. tent Than 1t Has Been for
 Many Seasons.

While ones attention is eentered silks. They occupy very prominent place in the wardrobe of the up-to- date woman. All dresses intended for afternoon functions are made of silk. Delicate voiles or ottomans, soft taf- fetas, silk velvets and wool velour are all used in developing these dressy frocks. Distinctive effects may be ob- tained by combining these materials with gold-embroidered chiffon, jet, pearls, or adding to them bands of fur, such as skunk, sable, ermine and the popular ape skin.
 The evening dresses of this season are not so rich and daring as those of last winter, but in many ways they are more pleasing. The textures are ex- quisite, reminiscent of the lovely fab rics of the days of the Italian renais- sance There are soft gold and silver brocades. delicate taffetas, thin lace drawn through with metal threads and crystal and jet embroidered chiffons and tulles.
 To go back to the less costly mate rials, such as silk and fine cottons, in which the majority of women are in terested in these hard times, a dance frock of bordered organdie, taffeta silk, striped voile or cotton crepe Is now considered the correct thing.-Indian- apolis News.

GOOD IDEA FOR SELECTING BE

With Allowance Made for Possibility of Changing Styles, the Main Pur- pose Must Be to Select Up-to.
 Date Designs.

As it is always bit difficult to ar range for between-season frocks and
 suits, the best plan to follow is to se- iect designs as up-to-date as possible, so that there will be no danger of them going out Of style too soon, writes Lillian E. Young in the Wash ington Star. Then, If there should happen to he fur trimmings, be sure that they are so arranged that they may be removed when spring comes. The shops are showing many modish fur-trimmed garments, which later in

Skim milk is always a splendid feed for swine; and if available in sufficient quantities to form the greater part of the liquid in the ration, oil meal need not be fed. One hundred pounds of skim milk are sometimes considered equal in value for pig feeding to one-half bushel of corn.

COVER FOR SHIRT WAISTS
Dainty Fabrics Protected by the Use of This Contrivance Quite
 Simple to Make.

Every woman needs several cases for protecting dainty chiffon blouses or separate lace waists. Where such waists are made of soft and very plia- ble materials they may be laid away In cases or boxes, but with many fab rics their fresh, uncrumpled look is best preserved by hanging the waist on a wire hanger and protecting it from the dust by thin slip cover of

TO ACQUIRE STATELY ANKLES
In These Days of the Snort Skirt us Possession Is Something Greatly
 to Be Desired.

There used to be time when our dresses. or at least the dresses of our mothers, reached to the floor, or so nearly so that brush braid or coarse binding on the bottom hem was nec- esary to preserve the fabric. In those days, if the tiniest bit of feminine ankle showed above the shoetop It was a cue for woman tc blush.
 Praise be. these conditions do not hold today. What with our hobpie skirts, slit skirts. tight skirts, short skirts and now short circular skirts, we have become accustomed to dis playing our ankles. Woman's right to the possession of ankles has finally been recognized, consequently pretty ankles are greatly to be desired, as they add to ones general appearance and beauty is indeed duty.
 To improve the shapeliness of ankles, exercise and massage will do won- ders. It will be found that most ankles which are unattraetive, or not quite so shapely as the possessor might wish, either lack sufficient flesh or else are too fieshy.
 If your ankles are little stout you can reduce them in a month, or two months at the most, by means of a little exercise ten minutes morning and night. Remove the shoes and stockings and cross the knees so that the support Is removed from one ankle. Thrust out the foot and move it around from the ankle in twisting motion, then bend it up and down, making sure that all this is done with the ankle bone. When one foot be- comes tired shift position and exer' else the other ankle.-C. Eleanor Mather in New York Press.
