DAINTY HOMEMADE BLOUSE
OF Filipino Embroidery and Lace, It
May Easily Be Fashioned in
Half a Day.

Everybody adm1res dainty blouse
and nearly every woman is able to
make one for herself if she can get
just the right sort of material. But
for the busy woman, at any rate, there
must be some inducement to warrant
the time and work that go to the max
ing of even the simplest waist.
Filipino hand embroidered blouse
patterns can now be got for $3.50, or,
with deliberately embroidered collars,
for $3.50. With the addition of ~
yards of mercerized batiste at Is cents
a yard, 4 yards of insertion at IS cents,
and IL yards Of lace edging at rs
cents yard, materials for a lovely
blouse can be got together.
A little blouse of this sort, made by
girl who is in an Office all day, was
edged up and down the front and
around the square turnover collar
with inch and a half calais val lace.
The back was made in batiste panels
alternating with lace insertion. The
narrow embroidered strip which came
with the pattern intended for a collar
was used as the central panel of the
back and the cuff pieces were let into
the sleeves lengthwise and bordered
by insertion to make deep cuffs. This
blouse was finished by hemstitching
around the tops of the sleeves, to out
line the collar and cuffs and down the
front. This added dollar to the cost,
but was just the necessary touch need
ed to make it complete. The girl spent
about five hours of her evening time
at cutting out, whipping on the lace
and sewing up, and the entire cost was
$G75.
There will be a good six months

"Low-yielding acres, like boarder
cows, are often fatal to successful
farming" according to ]. C. Mcdowell
of the Office of farm management,
United States department of agricul-
ture, in the new year book. Our
farm survey records show that areas
of poorly drained, compact and sour
soils, or soils low in humus, greatly
reduce net profits. Sometimes these
records show that as much as 80 per
cent of the entire farm acreage does
not produce enough to pay It's way.
Zone farm in Wisconsin, on which
records were recently taken, has 40
acres of poorly drained land that In
It's present condition is practically
worthless. Twenty-Five dollars per
acre spent III drainage will make this
40acre tract the equal of any in that
district, and good land is selling there
at $3.50 per acre. A small portion of
similar land on this farm has already
been t1le-drained and is now produc-
ing fair profit on each acre so i'm
proved.
1.-THE successful business man al
ways tries to weed out all Improbable
enterprises and to expand those that
pay a profit. Improbable acres can
not always be disposed of as readily
as boarder cows, but usually they can
be improved until they become profit
bearing. If the income from such land
cannot be increased it is quite posi-
bic that the labor spent upon it can
be reduced until the income at least
pays a little more than the cost of
labor.

In buying farm, improbable
acres that cannot easily be made prof.

as having little or no agricultural
value. They may even be a burden

IN trying to get start on acres that

TO drag out miserable existence in
toll and worry on worthless land.
Lack of knowledge of the business
side of farming is largely responsible
for loss in the management of unprof-
liable acres. The problem of how to
prevent waste of money, time and
energy in the attempt to develop
worthless land is worthy of careful
study. At best such waste can only
partially be prevented. The pity of

FOR A" SMALL HALL

The hall piece9that is now banished
by fashion t. the hat rack-the poor
old thing!' Think OF being banished
after years Of such faithful service!
And by some sort of reactionary prin'
ciple the piece that is reclaimed from
iniquitous desuetude is the wardrobe.
Not only movable hat racks but the
built-in type of thing, the looking glass
with hooks at each side and arms ex-
tended in embracing curves to support
witty wet umbrellas-old familiars,
that seemed downright essential to all
well regulated halls a year or so ago
are irrevocably doomed. The sad fact
must be faced: They have gone out
of style!'
In conformity with the general trend
toward better taste in home furnish
ing, nothing is allowable that has an
untidy air, and certainly nothing was
ever more untidy in appearance than
the hat rack burdened with miscel.

we can use an attractive little mirror,

venience to have small clock, pre-

also rest the maids little silver card
