FOR JUVENILE WEAR
New Fabrics and Styles Have Been Introduced.
Brown Gabardine Bids Fair to Be
Popular This Spring.

As an accentuation Of the change
that has taken place in Juvenile
clothes, there is a new frock advanced
as the most correct model for
spring; it is made of brown gaberdine
embroidered in yellow, with yellow
satin blouse.
The use of this fabric and this color
is unusual in children's clothes, and
1t shows that we are tending away
from the conventional theories of
what should be worn and dipping.
into the region of the unknown. 1t
is quite true that the tiniest young
sters have worn woolen clothes when
no attempt was made for fashion and
only comfort and health were con-
sidered; but whenever there was even
the smallest altar to fashion raised
In the sewing room, small children
were kept to washable materials.
Another new frock for children
that is quite different from the ordi-
nary and shows the new movement
toward originality, has tight-titting
bodice of blue velvet with blue-and-
white checked taffeta skirt. One of
the most startling house gowns that
has been invented for children which
was worn as page costume at a
smart wedding, had a skirt built of
many rufles of white silk net, topped
by a short, white satin bodice with

Formerly the decorator or painter

PROPER WAY TO HANG SKIRT
Care Necessary If One Would Have It
Retain Its Original Shape-The
White Dress.

Every woman knows how hard 1t is
to hang up a skirt so that it retains its
original shape. Here is one way in
which it can be done:
Take an ordinary wooden coat-hang-
er and screw underneath the hanger
two small brass hooks about one inch
long. Place them at either side of the
center hook, at equal distances from
it. Hang the loops of the skirt or the
hooks. A jacket can be slipped on the
hanger without wrinkling the skirt.
To improve the shiny serge or cloth
lay it fiat on the table and pass
piece of fine sandpaper very gently
over the shiny part. The sandpaper
will roughen up the nap again, but be
careful not to rub too hard, as it may
wear a hole in your material.
When putting away white dresses
wrap them in dark blue cambric to
prevent them from turning yellow. Pa.
per can also be- used and can be blued
by dipping in strong bluing water and
dried Fine centerpieces and doilies
not in use should be kept wrapped i'll

slight shoulder straps of tulle. The
gown was an exact replica of the
most fashionable frock that is being
worn by young pomen Of twenty, and
yet, the interesting fact about it was
that the dress was definitely youth
full. In addition to a few pink rose
buds, a pair of flesh pink socks and
heelless, white satin slippers with
ankle straps took all the sophisti-
cation away from the frock.
The milliners have kept up with the
dressmakers in devising new kinds Of
things for children, and one of the
new straw hats to be exploited in the
spring has a tulle crown through
which the hair shows. AS a rule,
quantities of tulle are not used in
juvenile hats, although miles of it
have been employed everywhere else.
The fashion for colored worsted flow-
ers has crept into small hats, but
many of the critics have regarded it
as more suitable there than anywhere
else.
or course, the present fashion for
shocking spreads over into young
ster's clothes, and the brilliant
smocks of colored satin and crepe de
chine have been initiated in small
frocks. Entire frocks of pale yellow
or blue-androse-colored china silk are
shocked at the shoulders, the wrists
and the hips, the latter holding the
fullness into the figure and obviating
the necessity of belt.
Summer frocks of fine muslin or
organdie will have shocking of cam
brio thread with no other ornamental
ton used but a bit of lace at the
wrists and neck.

HENS PRODUCING MOST EGGS
Comparison Made Of Hen-Hatched
Chickens and Artificially Hatched
Incubator Is Favored.

Experiments conducted by the New
Y 0rk State College of Agriculture. ex-
tending over a period of three years.
disproved the theory that hen hatched
chickens are Of higher vitality than
those hatched in incubators. The
first year the hen matched pullets laid
more eggs than the incubator hatched
ones. The second year the incubator
pullets succeeded, both in number and
in profits, as they laid more reglarly
during the season when eggs were
high priced. During the third year
the balance was still more in favor
Of the artifcially Matched hen. Also,
she was in better condition.
The chicks were hatched from eggs
If the same quality, and fed and
housed in the same manner. The ex-
pertinent will be continued for many
years, so that more accurate conclu-
sions can be arrived at. So far, the
chicks, hatched by incubator from
eggs laid by hens Matched from incu-
bators, have proved more steady and
valuable egg producers.
Middletown transcript., 1916-02-26

matured will naturally produce more
birds and stronger birds than eggs
from pullets who are still in state
of growth.
Sometimes it Is true that pullet
eggs hatch out we'll, but they do not
produce birds with the vigor and
stamina that come from mature eggs,
And you will find that the chicks from
pullet eggs will be more subject to
disease and more will die.
If you have a good breed and raise
your own eggs, separate the best hens
of your flock and select the best eggs
from these. Never set an egg from a
hen that is puny, or that has had a
touch of disease at any time, or that
is any way deformed, no matter how
slightly.
If you use an incubator, you must
watch it day and night. and after you
have learned all that the manufacturer
tells you in the directions on the ma
chine, you must use your own com
mon sense and comply with the vary
ing COnO1LlOnS OF climate.
When the youngsters come out Of
their shell they, too, must be watched
every day and be cared for in every
detail all the time. Young chickens
cannot be raised by any person who
is frequently away from home for long
intervals. One must be on the job
all the time.
The most important thing in start
ing young chicks is to refrain from
feeding them a single atom for at
least SO hours. Nature has filled their
little stomachs before they left the
shell and if they are stuffed as soon
as they appear, many will die.
Give them plenty of water and af-
ter thirty-six hours feed them lightly
on fine rolled oats or coarse cornmcaI.
Then, just as soon as they show
strength and vigor, let them run on
the tender. short grass for a little
while every day.
Watch for lice from the start, and
if any are found on the heads or under
the wings, touch the spots lightly with
lard or vaseline.
Having started right by following
the above directions. your success de-
pends upon the fidelity with which you
manage the flock until they become
hedged or are ready to be sent to the
market.

cuffs to match, of beaver or ermine or
seal perhaps, or more often a mere
border of fur on collar and cuffs of the
coat material give just the needed
note of contrast on velvet of some
lovely color, soft old blue or rose on
