Just at the moment when woman
kind was ready and waiting for 1t,
there entered the service suit" 1t is
a new garment for the new woman,
and 1t has been given this name,
duly christened by the patent office.
1t is the spirit of the times translated
into APPAREL thing that we have
been waiting for without knowing that
we were waiting until 1t arrived.
Therefore IT is welcomed with glad
acclaim, like that which greeted the
airplanes that made the heart to sing
at the accomplished conquest Of the
air.
The service suit" is made of khaki,
and 1t is good to look at, with conven-
fence and grace and stability to appeal
to the good sense Of the out-of-doors
woman. And just as soon as the out
of-doors woman sees it, she is capti-
vated--and all Is over except deliver
ing the parcel. For camping fishing,
golfing, tennis, gardening Bookkeeping
and farming, II is destined to become
the conventional suit.
The new garment is cut along lines
that are correct for women, and is no
more masculine than party frock is.
It Is made trouser fashion, with the
full trousers plated to a shapely
blouse; II is well tailored and fastens
with bone buttons across the back.

Even little garden is better than
no garden at all and everybody, that Is
anybody with patch Of available
ground, Is doing some gardening this
year. 1t Is unpatriotic and unfashion-
able to be idle. Even In small back
yards, allotted to city jewellers, women
are gardening with enthusiasm, and If
they raise only few vegetables for
the summer table, they are helping to-
ward conserving food for next winter.
In the smaller cities and towns wom-
en- have a real chance to do real work
toward producing the food that is go
Ing to be needed to last through next
winter. Those who know conditions
are advising them to raise vegetables
for canning and to put them up In
much greater quantities than ever be-
fore. BY putting up enough to last
their own families through they will
save food and keep Its price down for
those who are not situated where they
can make gardens.
Since duty calls women to the gar
den to work, clothes have been design
ed to meet the emergency. Sunbon-
