LAST WORD in
SUMMER BLOUSES

An elegant blouse of linen, hand en-
broidered, and an equally smart but
less costly model in wolfe, are among
the latest offerings in summer styles.
Each of them presents at least one new
feature worth consideration, and either
of them may be easily made at home.
Handkerchief linen in the natural
linen color was used for the blouse

and embroidery in white. black and
blue floss appearing in the decoration.
This blouse has an open throat and
wide sailor collar with rounded cor
nerS. piped with blue. Down each
side of the front are simulated button
holes made of the blue linen. and the
embroidery design, in the fashionable
mode of long stitches, is worked about
these buttonholes. Oblong buttons are
covered at the top with the natural
linen. and the remainder with the
blue. The same model is shown in
salmon color and retails for some
thing over ten dollars.
It is style and hand embroidery
which enables this linen blouse to

FIRST ATTENTION TO CHICKS
Keep Them Quiet and Warm Until
Thirty-Six Hours OId-Then Give
Sand and Water.

Many young chicks are breaking
their way into the world and will need
our attention If they are to grow and
bring a profit Do not be in a hurry
to feed them, but keep them quiet and
warm until thirty-six to forty-eight
hours old. Then give some fine sand
or grit, and water.
After this, feed some hard-boiled
eggs, dry bread or cracker crumbs, oat-
meal or prepared chick food. Feed a
little at a time, and often until a
month old, when four times day will
be sufficient. After three months,
feed three times a day until grown.
Finely ground feed should be given
until they are about a month old.
when a gradual change can be made
to fine cracked grains, which may be
fed until they are about two months
of age. Then another gradual change
can be made to cracked corn and
whole small grains.

PLANTS AROUND THE HOUSE
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

A great deal of discriminating care
should be exercised about the plants
located close to the house. Those set
In such manner as to hide the foun-
dation of the house and relieve the
baroness should be plants that do not
grow much higher than the wall.
Some of the best plants for this sort
OF adornment are the herbaceous spi-
reas, dicentra and perennial phlox.
Such ANIMALS as ten weeks stock, as
ter. nicotiana, nasturtium and core
opsis can also be used effectively.
Gladioli furnish a brilliant display
In midsummer and the tuberose is a
fragrant plant that also should have
place near the house.
Scatter bulbs for early blooming all
through the lawn and close to the
path. Old-fashioned plants are always
happy selection because they pos
sess genuine merit and have been
proved.
Make homes instead of houses by
the good taste exercised In your plant
ing around the home grounds and dis
play your originality along conserva-
tive lines and make your planting ar

BATHING FROCKS AND
SWIMMING SUITS

Bathing suits of this years design
include many new departures from &C
cepted styles of other years. They
are ampler in length and width of
skirt; many of them have sleeves that
partially cover the upper arm, and
considerable needlework is involved
in their making. There are princess
models that look like riding coats. and
there are full skirts with pantalets
that reach some inches below the
knees. Most novel of all is a model
made of silk with a very full skirt
sewed together across the bottom,
with two openings to thrust the feet
through. This serves the purpose Of
boomers and skirt.
One of the best of the new designs
is shown in the illustration. 1t is Of
black taffeta trimmed with narrow
white braid. The skirt is cut in four
cores. narrow at the top and pointed
at the bottom. The waist, cut with
kimono sleeves, opens over a white
silk vest. Revers reach to the waist
line, and there is small flaring collar
at the back. These and the sleeves,
which are slit up the top of the arm,
are outlined with two rows of the mar.
row white braid. Black and white silk
in wide stripes make the close-fitting
cap with wings Of plain black. and
black and white are combined in the
stockings and slippers. Altogether
this is a model that is attractive and
practical. Short knickerbockers are

cheerful character of the living room
and the library is assured by the
many windows that are placed In the
front part of the house. Both these
rooms have windows on two sides.
The main entrance to the house
opens directly to the living room.
The kitchen and the dining room
are directly back Of the living room.
The kitchen is especially well ar
ranged, with plenty of light. and IL
small enough so that unnecessary
work is eliminated to a large degree.
A refrigerator is provided that can
be iced from the back room. and the

On the first floor there are also
provided two bedrooms and q oath

of the house makes all the rooms read

built with sufficient headroom for in

Gates the possibilities. In bungalow de-
signs for houses of more than one
story.
The general impression received
from this home is one of rustic beau
ty. The exterior walls can be finished
in shakes, as shown here. or in shin
giles. The construction of the porch
columns and the chimney harmonizes
with the rest of the exterior. Other
pleasing features Of the exterior are
the white trim and the unusual lattice
work in the porch gable.
The construction of the front door
in this plan suggests some of the pos
sibilities that are open to the home
builder in handling the various small
details of house so as to make his
home distinctive and artistic. This
door has three glass panels in 1t.
These panels are of different lengths.
the one on the left being the shortest
and the one on the right the longest.
The hinges are made with broad
brass plates that extend almost across
the door, and the knob is of dull
brass with heavy plate to match.
A small shingle-covered garage Is
built in the back of the lot. It is
built along the same lines architec-
turally as the house. 1t has a double
swinging door for the car entrance

This is a type Of bungalow that is
popular with many people because of
the room that is made available. 1t
requires careful work, to retain the
bungalow effect and at the same time
make the house tall enough SO that
several rooms can be secured on the
second floor. This has been accom-
plished in good style in the family
home that is shown here. The design
shows a comfortable family house of
eight rooms with the coy appearance
of a bungalow.
Many people insist on two-story or
story-and-a-half houses for several rea-
sons. The main reason is that the
maximum amount Of space is secured
In the house considering the size of
the lot that the house must be built
on. This accounts many times for the
unattractive designs that are built.

GOOD FIRST FEED FOR CHICK
Rolled Oats Are Very Nutritious and
Relished by Young Fowls Just
Out of Shell.

A good first feed for little chickens
is to throw a limited amount of rolled
oats on the floor. only the amount that
the chicks will clean up in about one
hour. Rolled oats are very nutritious
and relished by the chicks and are ex.
cellent as first feed. However, their
continued use is not advisable. Hard.
boiled eggs. ground in a food chopper
and mixed with dry bread crumbs
may also be successfully used as a
first feed.

Broad stripes in many color COM
binations serve the designer of smart
bathing suits to the best purpose.
Wide skirts are cut with stripes run
ming diagonally about the figure. and
the waists with perpendicular stripes.
Usually a fitted girdle of silk. in q
plain color. is shaped into pointed
belt that joins waist and skirt, and q
little vest of the plain silk is intro
duced at the front. Boomers and
stockings match the vest and girdle
in color, and 1t is the custom to make
the hat or cap Of the same plain ma
terial.
There is q distinction between q
regular swimming suit and the bath
ing frock. Swimming suits are closer
fitting and are made of wool jersey
or fiber silk, for the girl who takes
her swimming seriously. No frivolities
of decoration add even little extra
weight to it and it is not expected
that the wearer will promenade about
the beach in 1t.
The princess bathing suits are very
trim and shapely. Plain materials.
with collar, pockets and borders in
striped or plaid or checked fabrics.
make them very slightly affairs. The
boomers reach below the knees, and
the skirts are almost as long. Silk
poplin and taffeta head the list of
silks, but there are several other fab

to make this seasons offerings in

THE ETERNAL BATTLE WITH
BUGS IN THE GARDEN
BY 8. M. TAYLOR.

Spray, spray and forever spray, If
you would save the fruit of your or
chard. field and garden.
Countless days of labor of men and
women are lost, hope turns to disap-
pointment, and ambition blighted be-
cause of the unchecked ravages of in
sects and disease.
The vital importance of spraying is
beginning to be realized by fruit and
vegetable and flower growers, but all
too slowly.
The formulas of the most important
compounds for spraying will be of val
ne to the intelligent and dead-in-ear-
nest grower.
Any of the sprays mentioned can be
applied with comparative safety to
any plant or foliage If moderation and
judgment are used.
Paris Green Formula.
Paris green ................1 LIB.
Fresh (unslaked) lime. 49,. Il Lib.
VI dttI .AOV odio.
Paris green is heavier than water
and the mixture must be kept in con-
slant motion during spraying opera
lions to prevent settling.
1t is often adulterated. Gypsum and
slaked lime are two adulterants COM
monty used.
Pure paris green dissolves without
sediment in ammonia, the adulterant
will not. This affords a simple test
for purity.
Paris green il used on growing
plants greatly in excess of the above
formula may injure the foliage. The
addition of the lime overcomes the
caustic properties and renders it safe
under all conditions.
Dry paris green may be used pure
IL applied in small quantities. Differ
snt dry powder guns" have been in
vented for this purpose.
Poison for Biting Insects.
Arsenate of lead .........2 Lbs.
Water .o0 Gafs.
Arsenate of lead is a combination of
white arsenic, sugar Of lead and sal
soda. It may be prepared by combin-
ing these materials in proportion, but
the process involves considerable Ia
Dor and danger. as the ingredients
must be combined by boiling.
Arsenate of lead is less liable to in
lure foliage. than paris green. 1t re-
mains longer in suspension. 1t ad-
heres better to foliage. 1t may be
used for any purpose for which paris
green is employed in liquid sprays.
White HeIIebore.
Powdered white hellebore is COM
monty employed to destroy currant and
cabbage worms and on fruits and vege-
tables where more poisonous sub
stances cannot be used with safety.
White heliebore ............1 Or.
Water ..x........2 or Gals.
1t may also be used dry, either alone
or mixed with flour. land plaster. SCOT,
etc.
White hellebore is scarcely poison
GUS to the higher animals and may be
used freely on fruits and vegetables at
any stage of maturity.
Used only to destroy sucking in
>sects. It may be applied to the In
sects and cannot be used as pre-
ventive.
This is the standard remedy for
sucking insects.
Dissolve one pound hard soap in two
Gallons of boiling water. While hot
add two quarts of kerosene.
Churn or shake the mixture while
hot for five to ten minutes or until
Il assumes a creamy consistency. Add
six gallons of water before using.
Another plan consists in using sour
