Uses Maury Phosphate Rock-Frank
Mann of Illinois, Perhaps Greatest
Farmer in America, May be Here.

Efforts are being made by citizens
of the city and county to arrange a
Better Corn Show to take place IN

nent farmers from other states will be

ready been written to Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture Vrooman, extend
ing to him an invitation to be present
at the new birth of the contrasting
industry in Maury county. Frank l..
Mann, of Illinois. known to many as
the most successful farmer in Amer
lea, will be asked to attend.
The exhibit will follow along gen.
eral lines the Better Baby Show, which
was held in connection with the Socio-
logical congress. Those in charge ex-
pect great benefits to be derived by
the farmers of this county, as at the
show they will hear the opinions OF
experts on the raising of corn
Mr.. Vrooman uses on his own farm
the raw ground phosphate rock, for
which this county is so famous, and
has repeatedly expressed himself as
being an enthusiast for this material
as fertilizer. The Corn Exhibit com
mittee believes that Mr. Vrooman can
be secured for the show. The follow
ing letter has been written to him:
August IS, 1916.
"Hon. Carl Vrooman, Asst Sec'y.

Handy for Boudoir.

The woman of individuality. unless
she cares little for the dainties of the
toilet. usually has all her boudoir fit
tings to match. 1t does not matter
much to her in what sort of packages
her powders and creams are bought;
she puts all in matching receptacles
when they take their place on her
dressing table.
She has a bottle for sunburn lotion,
one for an astringent lotion. jars for
creams. a bottle. perhaps. for brillian-
tine. receptacles for the various pastes
and unguents needed for manicuring-
and they all match. There are jars and
bottles that can be bought in sets for
all sorts Of pastes. pomades. creams
and lotions.
The newest thing is glass, painted by
hand, in matching sets. Very often
these glass receptacles have oil flowers
on them, and, of course, one would Sc
the chintz hangings of the summer
bedroom. Perhaps the smartest of the
new painted glass receptacles are those
that show simple black landings or
conventional designs. Stripes, of course,
are very smart this summer. and the
woman who would take the fad for
stripes into her boudoir can do no bet
ter than to buy a set of striped bottles
and jars-with black stripes on the un-
colored glass.

BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.
'ial Correspondence Of The Star.

"pecial Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 24-France has
changed her mind about the size of
hats. and thereby hangs a tale.
1t is a tale that the reporters of
fashion have been made to write and
rewrite because of it's constant recur-
renee. 1t has to do with the fact that
America wears in the spring the win
ter fashions of Paris.
This has nothing to do with the stu
pidity of buyers or the cupidity of de-
signers. Those who represent the shops
and dressmaking establishments of this
country go to Paris promptly on the
1st of February and select with all the
skill of which they are capable, and at
large expense, the hats that the Paris
milliners offer to the American trade.
The same thing is done on the 1st Of
august and again. as every. French
women wear in September what Paris
wears In May.
1t is not possible, evidently, for the
smart women of the two continents to
woman has her clothes sent direct from
her favorite dressmaker or milliner in
Paris.
There is very good reason back of
tnls. ana while the mass Of people in
America do not know it, the American n
buyers are quite aware of it They do
not. however, see any stern necessity
for the American woman to wear the
new fashions at the same time that
they are launched in France. They
take the attitude that it is better for
France to try out her new ideas on her
own people and for us to take them up
when they are established by the semi
annual openings which take place in
Paris.

laugh and cry at the same time. You
know Peter doesn't eat nuts or beetles
or fish or lily roots. and he knew that
those who had brought these things
knew that he didn't and couldn't eat
them. But he knew. also, that they
had brought them because they wanted
to bring something and could think. of
nothing but the things that they them
selves liked best. He thanked those
who could get in to see him and sent
his thanks to those who couldn't. And
then he had a happy idea He explain :
ed that he couldn't eat anything just
then. because he was sick, and proposed
that those who had brought things have
a party and eat all the goodies for him.
And so they did. The birds sang their
sweetest and the others feasted, and
all did their very best to make Peter

sport dresses are very smart and are
becoming to most children
An exceptionally smart little sport
dress is shown in the sketch Plain
white and red and white e-striped cotton
voile were the materials selected
for the original design, although
this dress would develop admirably in
linen. gingham, Galatea cloth, or any
OF the sturdy tub fabrics available
For its best effect, however a plain
color and striped or checked fabric
should be combined. The comfortable
snort sleeves and low collar and the

small girl.
To make this dress for a six-year-old
would require one yard of material
thirty-six inches wide in plain color
for bodice, cuffs and pockets, and two
yards OF striped or checked material
