ways used and always in good taste; but the navy parasol is usually utili- tarian rather than coquettish and &C., companies practical afternoon cos- tune in the same shade.
 Black and white parasols this year are charming; one cannot go amiss in selecting parasol in black and white combination. if single parasol must do duty with several costumes. Some of these magpie sunshades are checked; some striped; others a com- bination of the two. Very handsome parasols with black chantilly, or tucked black net over white silk, are ready for use with distinguished matronly costumes. In gayer semb- lance is a black and white parasol in which bands of crosswise black and white striped taffeta run down the ribs, separating panels of black satin. This parasol has a long handle of carved black and white wood, with an effective black and white silk tassel.
 Another attractive black and white parasol has a cover of white satin. is shirred closely at the center, and at the edge, overlaps in a deep tuck, an ungathered flounce of striped black and white satin. The handle is black with white tassel.
 The kite-shaped parasol is a nov- city of the season and is distinctive not only by reason of its newness. but, also because 1t is made of such hand < some materials. The cover is rich moire silk and the ribs at the corners of the kite curve up to show hand some lining and also the soft ostrich trimming which nestles just under the edge of the parasol.

heliotrope Is attached to a white tuIle bracelet on the handle and the com- panion nosegay nestles in the net shirring of the cover.
 Some of the coaching parasols are made coquettish with many little swinging tassels; a tassel dangling from the end of every rib and from the ferrule where it emerges from the cover. A model of this type comes in navy blue taffeta, with blue tassels and in corn-colored taffeta with tassels to match. Corn-colored parasols are enjoying special vogue this season and other colors that are evidently fancied, are purple. rose and green. Navy blue parasols are al-

 The model of accordion pleated white Georgette with embroidered bandings and white ribbon edging skirt, tunic and cape collar is called tub frock by courtesy; 1t might indeed be washed by skillful laun- dress but most women would prefer to pay a dry cleaners price in the case of so dainty frock. The little puffed sleeves and deep cape-collar are particularly interesting features.

darting swallows made of black velvet or silk are appliqued against the para sol cover, sometimes inside so that they show only when the parasol is open. There are also white swallows on navy blue parasols, and dark brown swallows on parasols in biscuit or tan shades. The long, slender lines of the swallow in flight are beautiful and the swift" threatens now to replace the long fashionable bluebird in favor

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-04


 do in the way of adding yards
 of material in a single season, look at the fiounced linen frock pictured. Six yards, no less, this skirt measures around the foot and the width is accomplished by gores, gath CTS and a circular cut so that there is not much fullness over the hips. The tunic, however, is gathered very full at the waistline and its fullness Is emphasized by wide bias bands, or f1ounces, in contrasting color, these founces matching band at the foot of the skirt in material and in width. The arrangement of the tunic and loose bodice suggests redingote eff feet, with waistcoat of white pique buttoned at the front and dropping over the skirt a little way. This linen frock Is yellow in tone, with waist coat, sleeve-ba and founces of ivory white pique. The sleeves will commend themselves to the woman who likes coolness and comfort in summer time. The deep cuffs are slashed up at the back and fastened together with link buttons of white pearl. This model is shown also in brown linen with buff bands and in green linen with striped green and white bands. It is one of the newest and smartest tub models of the sea- son.
 A White Season Prophesied.
 Because sport clothes are gay col ored, frocks and suits which come un- der the head of tub wearables, are mainly white. White is so attractive on a midsummer day that there is good excuse for it's popularity and of course white tubs more satisfac- torily than anything else-especially in this day of untrustworthy dye stuffs. The white tub suit of linen or pique demands immaculate access sories in the way of hat. veil, gloves, handbag, parasol and boots. A hint of color anywhere takes away just that much charm, though a white linen suit worn with black hat, black and white parasol, black pumps and white silk stockings is very smart in- deed. Most women, however, are planning to wear this summer the tall exquisitely pretty boots of washable kid with white tailored tub costumes Cor while these enchanting boots re- main in fashion no opportunity for their exploitation must be neglected Never has boot been invented that made the foot appear so fairlylike and altogether alluring. The buttoned models are perhaps the most dainty and becoming to the foot. and now that this washable kid has been dis covered-so that two minutes and a wet sponge will make one's footwear immaculate-nobod need be in too much of a hurry to don white boots with her white frock.
 Linen Always Useful.
 Perhaps there is no type of costume that Is so agreeably useful as white linen frock. The woman who has found this out will never be without one-or two or three, if she can man age 1t. White linen is so particularly smart when fresh from the laundress; it is cool as a cucumber without showing through" and making elab- crate brassieres and petticoats neces- sary when one is dressing for an in- formal occasion; and 1t is so durable ---tt will stand one in good stead on

resilient stiffening. The best of these stiffening fabrics are damp proof, but they are not supposed to be immersed in washtub of soap and hot water which is of course the end and the beginning of satisfactory tub cos tune. There are various distending petticoats, some of batiste or nainsook prettily trimmed with lace or em- broidered ruffies beneath which are hidden away castings for the distend- ing hoops of featherbone.

 tish in themselves. The plain coach Ing styles are used only with severely tailored suits; all other parasols are frilled, gathered, shirred, piped, shocked and garnished with flowers, bowknots or tassels. There are flow cred silk models for use with bathing suits trimmed with the same lowered silk; there are airy. transparent para sols designed for coquetry only, for they could not possibly keep out the sun; and there are parasols frankly and obviously intended as back grounds-most becoming backgrounds for pretty faces and charming hats.

GOOD TIME TO PRUNE TREES
Much Depends Upon object Sought,
Age Of Trees and Convenience In
Performing the Work.

It is a fact that trees pruned In
June are more likely to set fruit than
II pruned in spring or winter; also
wounds made In June heal more
quickly than when made in early
spring. On the other hand, 1t is a
fact that most farmers and orchard
lists are too busy in June with other
work to attend to pruning; also it is
more difficult to prune in June, be-
cause the leaves cover the trees and
interfere more or less with rapid, easy
work. It is also fact that no one
rule will apply to all cases.
II a farmer or fruit grower wants
wood growth in young orchard or on
young shade trees, he will get 1t most
quickly by doing his pruning in early
spring. whereas, II he vents merely
to promote the formation Of fruit buds.
he will find that June pruning is best;
so, looking at the question in a large
way, there are two best times" TO
prune trees-depending upon the OBJ
ject sought. the age OF the tres and
convenience In doing the work.

CHANGE in WEIGHT LIMITS
Boxing Promoters Advocate Adoption
Of British, French and Australian
Plan OF scale.

Adoption OF the British, French and
Australian scale OF weight limits to
make it a world scale, was advocated
by boxing promoters at the first
national convention of pugIllstic back
ers in Cleveland, o.
Weights suggested include: Fly
weight class with ll2-pound limit; ban.
tamweight to be changed from 116 TO
11S; featherweight, 1872 to 1875; rails
ing the lightweight from 1873 TO 1885;
welterweight from l45 to lat; middle
weight from 1853 to 100; establishing
cruiser class instead OF light heavy
weight limit at 175.
Other resolutions voiced by the pro-
moters are that all champions must
defend their titles every six months;
establish q national boxing commits
sion for arbitration; promote legisla-
ton SO referees can give decisions on
short bouts, and blacklist all fighters
who do not live up to their agree
ments.

and owls, which are enemies OF these
rodents, are continuously prosecuted.
The mice live upon roots, seeds, sue
culent vegetation and bark of young
trees, and are very destructive to
sweet potatoes and other tubers, az
well as to trees and shrubs.
The most practical method of con-
trolling this pest Is by poisoning.
Sweet potatoes cut into small pieces
have proved to tie the most effective
bait. They are prepared as follows:
Sweet potato bait-Cut sweet pota-
toes into pieces about the size Of large
grapes. Moisten four quarts of these
and drain off excess moisture. Slowly
sift over them one-eighth Of an ounce
of powdered strychnine (alkaloid) /.
using a pepper box or salt shaker for
the purpose. and stir constantly to dis
tribute the poison evenly.
One or two pieces of the poisoned
sweet potatoes should be dropped into
the tunnels through the natural open
ings, or through openings made with
stick. A systematic use of this
poison invariably results In an almost
complete determination Of pine mice.
These pests are also easily trapped, but
owing to the extra time and labor re-
quired, this method does not compare
favorably with poisoning.
