it is nice to watch her make it. May

Steam-Oried hay.

The up-to-date well-equipped farm
seems now to have a method of pro-
lection during the hay season. against
the losses which have been expert
enced In SO many cases by the wet
ting Of the rain and the preventing
Of proper drying. Experiments show
that grass can be dried by steam
within thirty minutes from the time
It is cut. and then be ready to be
stored away. The product thus OBJ
tanned is superior to the ordinary sun
dried product. having sweeter
flavor and keeping fully as we'll. This
can be applied. OF course only on a
farm that has a steam plant. but It is
fairly simple. and 1t certainly seems
to promise to the farmer . protec.
tion against one of his Inevitable
trials In the past.

NEATNESS IN CHILDREN
MORE READILY LEARNED IF
TAUGHT ATTRAcTlvECY
eImpiy-Made Devices Which viii En-
courage the Little Folks to Give
Proper Care to Their
Belongings.

There Is no doubt children will
more readily learn neatness If 1t is
taught attractively. Children by ma
ture are careless and oftentimes lazy.
To make them pick up their belongings
and put them away in the proper
places Is quite as much trouble as do
Ing it oneself.
They leave their shoes around prob.
ably because there Is no charm in put
ting them away in closet, but If
child is given shoe bag for its own,
to be hung inside the closet door. like
the one shown, 1t will be a pleasure
to put the shoes away and visit with
the tiny figures pictured there.
The. foundation Is gray or tan linen
and the figures are worked in brilliant
colors, using mercerized cotton, fast
colors.
Little folks never tire OF the old
woman who lived in shoe and her
large family, or the kittens who lost
their mittens (because they had no
bag) A row of tiny boy or girl fig
ures, each in different stages of put
ting on their Shoes Is another sugges-
ton for decoration that will appeal to
children also.
Mothers may be saved many pennies
and children taught a lesson in neat
ness If they are provided with case
for keeping their pencils. What moth
er has not experienced the wild hunt
for pencils when 1t was time to start
to school? All this commotion can be
saved by making case on the shoe
bag order.
Put the runners in to take pencil
In each pocket. One half of the bag
could be given to the pockets for the
pencils. The other half could be a
scratch pad. On the outside of the
case, over the larger pocket, one could
work couple of brownies, an owl or
q squirrel.
Many mothers know the value OF a
pretty box for collecting toys. but l
know of one child who never could be
taught to put away his toys until his
mother bought fair-sized tin water
pail one day. The small man was told

illuminate the pendant garments with
your torch. drag whatever you select
down from the hook, grasp it firmly
with your teeth, and SO out again on
your hands and knees, rolling the elec.

now why in those good old days chests
of drawers were popular-fortunatel
we have one OF our own that somehow
has got up the stairway; and we see
also. as We begin to settle into it.
what is perhaps the secret of this
humber colonial architecture. The
Colonial Jack who built this house
wanted some rooms round chimney
and roof that the snow would slide
OFF; and so he built 1t; and wherever
he found a space he made a closet or
a cupboard; and because he had no
other kind. he put in small-paned win.

Plain or embroidered ribbons are

Silver threads appear on many OF

The more gossamer an evening
gown the more fashionable.
Lace skirts are frequently gathered
at intervals; many such dresses are
made over skirts with deep transpar-
ent hems.-

DRESS TRIMMINGS FOR FALL
Applique, According to Predictions.
Will Be Popular for Fall and
Winter Gowns.

Applique trimmings are predicted
for fall and winter gowns. One
gown of silk has black velvet leaves
appliqued to its bodice and skirt, the
leaves being bound with silk-covered
cord
Silk braids are used extensively to
bind seams. to form bands around
the bottom of the skirt and to give
military effect to coats and gowns.
Fringe is also used to a consider
able extent, and hand embroidery is
also enjoying popularity. The work
is done usually with heavy rope silks
Or wool. An interesting feature of the
hand embroidery that is used on the
best type of gowns is that no particu-
lar design is followed In fact. the
worker has full sway to let her needle
wander where it will. This makes it
possible for the home sewer to intro.
duce a prominent feature on one or
two new fall gowns.
Narrow ribbons in great quantity
are applied in a variety of ways on
many dresses. Entire bodices are
sometimes composed of rows and
rows of ribbon. Rutfles of ribbons
about three inches wide are emplo"ei
in some cases to simulate an apron
effect on the newest skirts. Such a
treatment is truly economical. for it
saves the cost of extra material to
form an entire apron.
