But these bottom lands now
contain a large quantity of tim
Der, which must necessarily be
removed in the preparation of
the land for tillage. Among the
trees composing the stand on
these lands are: sweet gum, oak,
tupelo gum, cypress, popular,
sycamore, beech, birch, willow
and hickory. Much of the tim
Der is not large, and some of the
species are scattering but class
and size of tree that was scarcely
known ten Or fifteen years ago,
is finding a ready market TODAY.
Although some of the best farm
land in the State will evidently
result from this undertaking,
there will be much waste and
much loss of timber in the pro-
cess of clearing. The area Of
timbered land in that section
will be largely reduced and her
cleared land increased by these
thousands of acres now lying
waste.
But one of the economic prob.
lens involved in this land being
cleared or set apart for clearing
is market for the timber. The
diminishing supply of standing
timber in Tennessee suggests
that every economic means be
taken to secure . market, even

hauling the timber merely, pays

IN THE REALM
OF FASHIONS

IN the realm OF fashions at least
there is peace. Never were
modes more calm, more simple
more in accord: a bit subdued in
influence perhaps, after our Haunting
styles Of a season or so. but in no way
rejecting the insanity Of war. Shut
off somewhat from the direct influences
Of Paris. we are feeling our way to
something that is more directly II
keeping with our national character.
There is very little Of severity found
in fashionable costumes. Everything
flares and ripples and the season might
be said to be one especially adapted
to the woman Of economical mind,
for effects are not hard to obtain
and the smartest costumes are OF tns
sort that can be made at home without
difficulty. On this page. for example.
are shown redingote suit and q suit
with short coat. The two extremes
not only represent equally fashionable
models but are replete with suggcs.
tons for the home woman.
The redingote is a complete garment
which stops at the waistline where this
separate skirt is attached. and ID no
more difficult to make than blouse.
Since it is always the severe, tailored
garment that presents difficulties to
the amateur. these are important facts
We are to see great deal Of sou.
tache braid applied over stamped de-.
signs, and that always makes hand
some trimming. Collars, cuffs and
bands Of fur are so extensively used
to trim street costumes that it Is not
really necessary to possess a scarf. \
and just now when conditions mean
an advance in the price of furs. that
fact is an interesting one.
The new velvets are as soft and
supple as charmeuse satin itself. and. Il
consequently, they can be used for
sashes and draperies and for garni-
lures with the most wonderful success.
The afternoon gown that Is shown
here is a good example Of the way \ \
shoutache is being used. The NJ.
terial is charmeuse satin, with ! sashi
OF velvet while the chemisette u q u

One of the street costumes IL made q
from velvet with broadcloth reveft, d
and the other from a new material
known as kittens ear" which = 81
really wool with silky lustrous sur
face. The latter costume is trimmed
with Beaver fur.
For the more elaborate costumes for
dinner and evening wear, fur trimmings
are extensively used, and the most
effects are obtained by the
use of silver and gold, both in WOVEN
fabrics and embroideries.

entire width is needed for the front.
and this method of placing the pieces
is the most economical. As the bow
however, is longer than forty-four
inches, it must be pieced and the small
oblong piece is the end which has been
cut off at the point indicated by the
dotted line. The fronts require the
full width of the goods. Therefore,
before placing the pattern on the ma
terial, it should be opened out if it
is folded and the fold pressed out,
then the material folded crosswise and
the front pinned into place with the
sleeve as already mentioned. Then
each piece of the goods will be doubled
and the two sides of the garment cut
at one time. The cEemisette and cuff
are shown in smaller diagram.
If the shorter sleeves are wanted
and the sash with only knotted ends,
the pattern of the sleeve should be
cut off on the crossline Of perforations.
and the bow omitted and each front
cut fourteen inches longer than the
pattern. To do this. place the sleeve
on the material folded lengthwise in
the place now filled by the bow and
fold the piece for the fronts to allow
an added length Of fourteen inches on
the extension.

silk folded lengthwise, the back of
the collar marked with the three

LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTERS

it adds materially to any toilette with
which the scarf may be worn. In Jewels.
the semi-precious stones are having a
great vogue for what might be called
the fancies of the season. They make
beautiful gifts and appropriate gifts.
and they are to be found both in silver
and gold settings. In the eyes of the
Orient. jade is special meaning that
is its own. Today we have cultivated
pearls that are made into exquisite
objects of many sorts, yet which are
kept within reach OF moderate purse.
The gift that seems to carry with it
the recollection Of some special wish or
taste Of the recipient will surely be a
gift of great value, and therefore these
stones OF lesser cost serve as we'll as
rubies, diamonds and the genuine
pearls. There is very great fancy
of the jet novelties are as brilliantly
beautiful as could be desired. New
styles Of hair-dressing call for oddly
shaped combs, and those OF Jet are
brilliant in the extreme, for the ma
turer years. For the younger con-
tingent are to be found really mar
vellous effects in rhinestones and in
colored stones of various sorts that are
designed to be worn with toilettes with
which they harmonic. and which
serve all their purpose, when they give
a bit of brilliancy and color that adds
a picturesque touch. Earrings as
quaint and as interesting as can be,
are to be found in sterling silver with
oxidized finish set with Oriental seed
pearls, for as small price as six dol
lars, and if one is on the outlook, there
are other equally charming, equally
attractive novelties to be found that
will not tax the purse of even this
depleted year. We regard Jewels less
seriously than was the case genera
ton ago and while those Of us who can
afford the luxury still delight in costly
gems and rare settings, for the Christ
mas gift, the pretty novelties that
bespeak the season are in every way
appropriate. Among the novelties in
fur, are stockholders of velvet with
fringe of monkey fur, and fancy neck
pieces of fur with loops and ends of
velvet. No matter how many i'm
portant sets and scarfs woman NAV
possess, trifes such as these are sure
to find place, while among the hand
somer, more costly pieces, there are
marvellously beautiful combinations
Of spotless ermine and skunk or with
some dark fur that could be trusted
to harmonic with any handsome i
gillette, and which consequently could
not fail to find place.

the chemisette. the collar and the
cuffs are made of white faille silk but
il simpler material is used for the
bodice. crepe de chine or washable
satin would be preferable for the
chemisette and the cuffs.
BY far the greater number of fash
ionable materials are woven forty-four
inches wide, and since that width is
a good one for this pattern, it is shown
in the diagrams for the basque. The
iaille from which the collar. chemi-
sette and cuffs are cut is twenty-seven
inches in width. In one diagram the

1.-TWO important features stand
forth pre-eminently in any con-
sideration of mid-winter fashions
namely that combinations of materials
are very smart and that fur trim
mings are used generously. Since often
the trimming will consist only of a
little bit on the collar and sleeves.
it is by no means difficult to achieve.
and if the fur is of good quality it
gives an unquestioned touch of ele-
gance to the costume Wise women
who have treasured even the bits OF
fur left over in the course of remaking
will be glad Of this.
Almost any two materials that are
effective can be used together. but
