 Washable silks and satins, crepe de chine and some new silk weaves are used, with lingerie laces. to make these underbodices. They launder as easily as cotton or linen fabrics and are just as durable With these prac- tical attributes in their favor, and the elegance and beauty lent by the silk. to recommend them, it is safe to anticipate their appeal to women.
 Two of the most popular undertook ices are shown in the picture above, both very simple in construction. Val insertion and edging is used in com bination with silk and with ribbon for making them.

DEFINITION OF GOOD FARMER
ing From Land and Rear Family Carefully and We'll.

Few definitions are clearer or more comprehensive than Dr. L. H Bailey's definition of a good farmer. In it's 34 words it shows a lifetime of study and experience. Doctor Bailey defines the good farmer by telling what he must do, and that makes the best sort of definition for practical use.
 Here is the definition-what the good farmer must do:
 Make a full and comfortable living from the land.
 Rear family carefully and well
 Be of good service to the com. munity.
 Leave the farm more productive than it was when he took 1t.

 As neckpieces and muffs are small and only a touch of fur is needed on the hat to match, these sets are beau tifully adapted to the tailored suit Seal, squirrel, chinchila, kolinsky eony and beaver are liked for them, and very attractive sets are made Of several fur-fabries The latter are not at all difficult to make at home and so inexpense that one may indulge in an extra set for the sake of change or to spare the set made of real fur.
