LATEST FRENCH GOWNS
NEWEST IDEAS OF THE MAKERS
OF FASHIONS.
Innovations Set Forth by Worth Have
Been Accepted as Setting Forth
styles Of season-For After
noon and Evening.

An attractive feature in some of the
very new gowns is the introduction of
trains that hang from the waist.
Worth is responsible for this innova-
zion. That house has always liked the
ceremonial in clothes, going in strong
ly for the dignified English effects, as
the founder was an Englishman.
The uncle who runs the house is op-
posed to many of the modern features
of clothes; the exploiting of new ideas
through manikins at public places
was never allowed, and well-known
members of the half world were not
allowed in the house. When one
knows Paris and knows how much
courage it required, and monetary loss
it involved, to insist upon these elimi-
nations, then one can get a bird 's-eye
view Of the dignity of the house of
Worth. It may not have paid, COM
mercially or artistically, but 1t exists.
Now that the firm has closed its
historic London house, the Paris Gre
ations may become more eminently
French, but, so far, there is no evi-
dence Of 1t. Only America matters
now with the makers of clothes,
and Worth believes, rightly, that there
is large number Of Americans who
do not like the modern tendency to-
ward girlishness and frivolity in
clothes, especially for those whose
youth has gone.
The evening gowns which he ad-
vances for this winter have their cas-
caded trains lined at the sides with
satin in pale color. Someone who
wanted simple gown from which
was eliminated the gewgaws that spot

CULLING FLOCK IN THE FALL
"2oo-Egg Hens Always Have White
Legs at End Of Their PuIlet Year."
Says Professor Barrows.

Trap-nest records with many hun.
dred fowls at the Maine station make
it possible to say positively that no
bird which has been a heavy layer
will have bright yellow legs at the
end of the laying season. Prof. H. R.
Barrows says that "200-egg hens al.
ways have white legs at the end Of
their pullet year" The yellow color.
ing matter in the legs and skin seems
to be used up in coloring the yoll1s for
so many eggs, and thus the skin and
legs bleach out nearly white.
1t is worth while knowing this when
culling the flock and deciding which
pullets to keep over to use as breed
ers the next year. If the poultryman
has no trap-nest records the color of
the shanks furnishes him one of the
best indications he can have as to the
way in which these pullets have laid
during their first year of life.
His first selection should always, of
course, be on the strength and con.
stitutional vigor. but after having
picked out the good, strong, healthy
birds he should then choose from
among those the ones which show the
whitest legs. Poultrymen often make
mistake on this point, frequently
practicing just the opposite-that is,
picking out carefully those which have
yellow legs which are the poorest lay.
ers in the flock.
