THE ALL-IMPORTANT HOUSE
DRESS
DRESS

Our modern housewife, be she bride
or matron, does not prepare breakfast
in be-ribboned and be-ruffed morn
ing frock. She delights in her trim
morning dress, with open throat, short
skirt and sleeves, developed in some
fresh material which may be tubbed
every Monday morning. Her hair is
drawn back daintily and becomingly
and often confined under a cap of the
same material as the housedress, to
protect the hair from dust or cooking
odors.
The Material Of the HOusedress
Gingham, chambray and percale are
the staple fabrics for these dresses,
but someone who desired to simplify
matters still further, decided that the
plain white soiled no quicker than the
starched gingham or chambray; that
soft, white cotton crepe, which washes
so easily, requires no ironing, does not
wrinkle, and is fresher looking, was
more practical for these dresses than
the old-tine fabrics which require
starch and careful laundering.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

The summary Of weather and crop
conditions in corn and wheat for week
ending September Fl as given out at
Washington, D. c., Sept. % says:
In much of the corn belt weather was
favorable as to temperature but the
beneficial effect was Offset in some
western localities by too much mois-
ture and the crop matured slowly in
many important states; the week just
closed much cooler further retarding
maturity. in the west-central and
northern portions much of the crop
requires from ten to fifteen days of
warm dry weather. In the eastern
states the week was favorable and
corn is maturing rapidly. In the
spring wheat belt threshing is near
ing completion under favorable condi-
tlons. In portions of the winter wheat
belt preparation for seeding is about
completed, with favorable soil condi-
tions, but in other portions the work
has been delayed by continued wet
soil and little wheat is yet sown in
any portion. Pastures, ranges, and
stock continue in good condition, and
tobacco is being housed.
The weather continued warm dur
ing the entire week. The first part of
it was clear but the remainder was
cloudy and rainy. Corn matured rap
idly and some has been cut in southern
and middle counties. In the southern
part of the state there is some com.
plant of soft and moldy corn. Fal
plowing is well advanced and seeding
lis begun. Potatoes continue to ror
badly. Pastures are in good condi
