TURKEYS ARE ARRIVING
IN GOOD QUANTITIES
Prices Bid Fair to Be Lower Around
New Year-Decrease in Egg Prices
Looked For in January.

Usually. after Christmas there is a
drop off in business in the wholesale
produce market, and the dealers have
a comparatively idle time of it. This
year, however, they report business has
continued brisk and the outlook for the
New Year market is that it will be
the busiest in several years. Turkeys
are coming on the market in good
quantities. and will sell slightly lower
than week ago, the wholesale market
being a cent or two lower on the pound.
Other poultry continues at about the
prices of last week. Potatoes and
celery are higher priced. Lettuce is
so cents a crate lower on the choice
grades and is the only thing in the
vegeta BILE market to show lower
price. With the coming of good weather
the dealers look for a lowering in egg
prices. This may come within short
time, IL January liz mild and pleasant
and the hens start to work. Otherwise
it viii be February before the increased
supplies of eggs come in. The market
this morning was well supplied with
foodstuffs and wholesale prices ranged

when a busy housewife is free from

and the hostess who does her own work
will find that making sandwiches is
play if she uses one of these regulating
bread cutters.

dynasty. They range from the smart est of low-necked evening frocks of silk and satin to the simplest of ging- hams, and from these to the trimmest of service suits.
 Under the name of service suits come number of military models of which the sketch illustrated is a good example. Instead of being made of khaki this suit is made of heather jer- sey, which is color mixture in which brown is fiecked with deep pink, green and lavender. An inverted pleat in the back of the coat adds to it's style.
 Another military model which l saw very recently departed widely from the military in its development, for it was made entirely of balsam-green tussur, a reminder of green leaves and cool breezes in Robin Hood forest.
 Although every ones mind is run ming more or less toward serving the country and very naturally toward costumes which would be practical for any task that one might choose, there are also charming frocks for other oc- casions.
 Taffeta and FOulard Frocks
 Taffeta and foulard frocks are re. quirement of every woman's wardrobe whether she has a large or a small one, for a dress of either of these materials is always ready to wear; it does not go to the laundry and is not feazed by fogs and dews. Although taffeta and foulard can not in them selves be said to be new this season, their trimmings of organdie make them seem so. Frills, bands and fac ings of organdie give an ariness to these frocks which is summery and cool. Satin is also being trimmed with organdie. In fact this might be called an organdie season, for it does its 'bit" on silks and satins as we'll as on the humble gingham.
 In the second sketch is shown a frock of soft plaid taffeta with collar, lapel facing and pockets on waist and on skirt of white organdie. The collar

 French embroidered lingerie now has a rival in the Filipino hand-em- broidered garments. These latter have been growing in popularity, and since the war and the scarcity as well as high cost of the French underwear there has been a swerving toward the revival of hand embroidery.
 Low-Healed Sport Shoes
 With sports clothes, service suits and simplicity frocks comes suitable footwear. Low-healed half shoes with sensible lasts are worn for sports. Some of these shoes have spring heels, others have heels three-quarters of an inch high, and often the soles and heels are of rubber. This does not mean that the foot comes in contact with the rubber, however, for there is a thickness of leather between the outside sole and the foot. White is worn great deal for summer. Gray is very fashionable, and, of course, brown and black are standard.
 For wearing with elaborate after noon frocks are low shoes with high heels, either French or Cuban-Louis.

 "Variety is the spice of life," said some one at some time so long ago that the saying has become a proverb. It is true, whether it be in scene, en- vironment, in fashions, or in food Variety is one thing which we possess in fashions this season; variety in sil- houttes, in materials, in trimmings. Smart clothes range in design from the high waisted styles of the First Empire, through fluffy frills of the Mid-Victorian era and draperies al. most pannier-like, "peg-tops," and last, but not least, straight hanging models which are compared to the Egyptian garments of very ancient

 In Paris, it is said, that the girls once working in the laundries have abandoned them for work in the muni tion plants. To this is attributed the popularity of black lingerie.
