WHAT THE FASHIONS SHOW

1t has been said that while Paris
held sway as fashion dictator, the
designers borrowed ancient styles
and remodeled them according to
modern lines. Now that our Ameri.
can cities are taking the lead In d.
resting the styles, the old fashioned
models are borrowed outright with
out change. A striking example OF
this has just been exhibited in one
of the shop windows. The gown
may be made of lawn or dimity. The
waist, close fitting. low at the collar
has long, snug sleeves; the front Is
embroidered with spray Of white
flowers beneath which two tucks run
around to the back. The grid e Is
straight piece Of rich, green rib
bon hung from high waistline. The
skirt, plated onto the waist, he's for
its only trimming four graduated
tucks beginning with one, two and
one half inches wide just below the
hips and ending in a four inch hem
which stops short at the ankle.

Sometimes they are edged with lit

bound with tiny narrow strip Oh
color. Sometimes, too, these hchus
are bertha like in their folds, and
are made Of lace,

itely to the fore, 1t will be well

mans summer wardrobe, Tor 1t at

attra :tions.
A though the soft white necker'
chief of our foremothers has evolved
into an elaborate fichu, 1t is still
quite as picturesque, but there are
difficulties in the way of wearing 1t,
These can be overcome, however, II
the accessory is made properly. Even
the most primitive form, which was
a square, will be apt to ride" UP In
a mass of folds at the back OF the
neck. II the fichu is loosened to al
low the folds to smooth out, the

COMPANION

Have the comfort of your body In
mind when you select your wearing
apparel Comfort and beauty are
boon companions. When comfort de-
parts beauty generally goes with 1t.
There is nothing more uncomfort-
able than a shoe that does not fit
the foot. 1t is annoying, II too large
or too small. 1t will bother you just
as much while rubbing blisters as
1t will when it pinches your toes. A
beautiful shoe will fail to add to
your appearance If it makes you limp
II 1t places lines of suffering In your
face its beauty will be more than
offset by your distorted facial ex;
preston. D.,
In selecting your shoes pay as
much attention to size and fit as to
style; otherwise they may force you
to appear in the roe Of a cripple.
1t is needless to point to the fact
that 1t is difficult to be graceful In
a shoe that Is rubbing or pinching
the foot. Practically every person
has been so unfortunate as to learn
this through experience. Such n
shoe will detract from your grace. no
matter how Spartanlike you may
bear the suffering.
The tight shoe is bound to affect
your whole appearance. 1t may be
kept out of sight, but the suffering 1t
causes will be reflected In your face
and bearing. You cannot walk, sit
or stand properly for any length Of
time when the shoe is pinching. The
tight shoe Is indeed a most effective
weapon against beauty.
The pinched foot Is irritated from
the time 1t Is incased In tight shoe
until 1t is removed and all that time
the wearer of such a shoe is infllct.
ed in a way that affects her general
appearance.
1t is impossible to be gracious and
charming when a shoe is hurting
your foot. The shoe will make an
impression on each of your words
and smiles 1t is the enemy of a
sweet disposition.
AS to listening when others are
talking to you, that is an impossible
ity, because the mind Is too busy
recording the suffering Of the injur'
ed foot to permit any other idea to
have sway there. q. ...
Pride comes before fall when you
sele.t shoe that Is too small for
the purpose Of minimizing the size
of the foot, and you will not ge,
much comfort out of shoe that is
too large.
Comfort is a basic requisite t.
beauty. II is not to be found In 6
shoe that does not fit the foot.
.Remember-A half size taken from
your shoes does not reduce the size
of your foot, but it warps the whole
expression of face and action.

THE MERRY, MERRY MINsTRELs

The merry, merry minstrels are
coming to town, and this time it is
not the white man imitation, but
that good old standby, Richards &
Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels.
This company has been coming
here SO long that We are at a loss
to remember the date of their first
appearance.
This is the one minstrel organiza.
ton that seems to keep pace with
the taste and cravings of fiekle
public. Each season they offer an
entirely new program, replete with
novelties and surprises, but never get
away from that distinctly minstrel
atmosphere as do SO many Of their
white competitors.
When one goes to a minstrel show
he expects to see a minstrel show,
not hodge podge Of musical COM
edy, vaudeville and what not; and
right here let us state this is the key
note of this company's success. IL
you want to see a minstrel show they
will surely satisfy your appetite. For
two and one half hours you will be
entertained with all that the word
implies. AS the funny man says,
Its a corker!"
Thursday, February %, is the date
of their appearance at the Lyric the
alter. At noon the big parade.

SEIZE cANANEA
THE LIME you APPLY

Everybody Is familiar with lime.
II Is one of the commonest of sub
stances. Its Importance in sweeten-
ing the soil, so that the cloveTs and
alfalfa will do we'll In 1t, is also
we'll known to every intelligent far
mer. But we venture to state that
there is more error and confusion
in the minds Of intelligent men on
the subject Of the various lime prep
arations than on any other familiar
topic.
Here are a few things which the
reader may or may not know.
Raw ground limestone has been
found better In the long run than
burnt lime. 1t may not give marked
benefit so soon, but 1t will not burn
up the organic matter in the soil.
1t cannot possibly do harm, and the
burnt lime can, and often does.
The limestone does not need to
be crushed as finely as many sup
| pOscI llOubu lhS hhtI wv 'N'''i' N''
If as fine as coarse corn meal 1t
will dissolve slowly and sweeten the
soil.
A ton of raw ground limestone will
go as far as 1920 pounds OF fresh
burnt lime.
Hydrated lime is simply burnt lime
which has had about third of its
weight in water added. Most lime
sold as agricultural lime" is moth
ing more or less than lime which has
been thus watered and ground.
1t takes 1,4SO pounds of this agIi
cultural lime to go as far in sweet
enlng the soil as 1920 pounds OF
fresh burnt lime. And 1920 pounds
Of one or 1,4SO pounds of the othe'
are equal in sweetening power to q
ton Of ground limestone,
The hydrated agricultural lime is
handler to use than the fresh burnt
lime but 1t Is not as strong-and one
pays freight on the water and Is
obliged to haul 1t,
The cheapest form IN which to buy
lime is merely a matter OF figuring
using the above quantities as a basis
