for daytime frocks, SO of course these
war time economics will become fash
ionable. Because simplicity makes for,
rather than against, artistic success
In design, the new, frocks of silk and
satin are marvels of good taste.
Only satin and needlework furnished
the means for producing the lovely
afternoon gown shown in the illustra-
ton. But this restriction merely serves
to show the resourcefulness Of its Gre
ator; he has made them entirely suffl
cient. The gown has short, plain
bodice, shocked into epaulette Shout
ders. The plain skirt Is shocked to
adjust it to the figures at the waist
line and the last row Of shocking
forms narrow ruffle, lined with white
satin. This provides the most grace
full way for uniting bodice and skirt
In one.
But the cleverest bit Of strategy en-
ployed by the artist whose means were
so restricted, appears in the pockets at
each side. They are managed by slit

ness of the skirt into shocking. The

fox. The muff Is small and soft, drap-
ed at the center and trimmed with fox
bands.
An unusual garment appears In
the full cape of velvet with big collar
of skunk fur. This collar is a short
square cape across the back extended
into revers at the front and may be
turned up about the neck, muffier
fashion. The velvet cape is lined with
crepe de chine or crepe georgette,
which forms a soft puff about its
edges.
The fox skin scarf shown at the
right Is a great favorite and is shown
in many varieties of this lovely, soft
fur. 1t is simply the pelt with tail
legs and head, and is lined with satin
or crepe-white and red fox have had
a wonderful vogue. The cross and sill
ver-tipped fox skins are among the
most expensive Of furs. There are
many neckpieces and muffs made of
dyed fox and no fur is more luxurious
looking or becoming.
There Is a certain knack in wearing
the new scarfs and capes They do
not adjust themselves certainly to the

set on at the top. The collar is of soft,
white satin ornamented with needle
work on points at the front, and cuffs
made in the same way are set on the
upper side of the sleeves.
All quarters of the globe appear to
have been ransacked to provide furs
for the comfort and adornment Of
women. If there Is any fur-bearing
animal from Greenland's Icy mountains

EVER TRY A LILY BED?
BY l.. M. BENNINGTON.

AS the cold winds of winter are
making doubly CHEEKY the window gar
den In the sitting room, the prospects
for a season Of beauty In the garden
next year occupies great deal of
thought and attention. If the whole
garden outlook Is to be changed or II
only a few improvements are to be
made in Its outlines, the winter nights
are the time to develop the changes
that you are going to make in your
home grounds.
No really effective change has ever
been made by experimenting without
some planning. If you plan to make
Il lily bed choose O well-drained spot
for them, and If possible where the
flower will have a background of ever
greens, shrubs or screen of living green
to set off their pale beauty. A back
ground of climbing plants Is also good.
Dig the bed two feet deep and throw
into the excavation rubbish, tin cans,
old shoes, rocks, brick bats and the

cannot stand cold, wet feet.
Enrich the soil with manure from
the COW stable, worked well into the
soil with sand or sifted ashes. Plant
the bulbs eight to twelve inches deep,
according to their size, In pocket Of
sand.
Just before the cold weather sets
In cover the bed with litter of old
leaves, being sure that the storms of
winter will not uncover the bed. Lilies
want shade during the hottest part of
the day.
Lilies are easy to force If the fol-
lowing instructions are carried out.
Select large, solid, heavy bulbs Of the
Bermuda lily.
Prepare soil that is light, fine and
very rich, with well-rotted manure
COW manure Is best. Fill large pot
half full, then press In three bulbs, al
lowing them to touch one another, with
three inches of soil between them and
the pot.
The size of the pot depends upon
the size of the bulbs. The bulbs should
be set In a nest of sand and sur

rounded with It, Then cover the bulbs
with about two inches of soil and
place the pots In a cool corner of the
cellar, allowing the bulbs to make
plenty of root growth.
In about six weeks the roots should
appear plentifully outside of the ball
of earth, and when this happens the
pots are ready to be taken into light
and warmth
AS the stalks shoot up, fill the pots
with earth to within an inch of the
rim of the pot.
Do not put the pots In a hot dry
atmosphere at any time, but at first
they should be kept just above freez-
ing.
Little by little accustom them to the
air of the living room.

Popular French
Models Copied

New York-The woman who has
been going the rounds will be able tt
check off on her fingers the French
models that have been over-copied al
ready, although the season of wearing
new clothes has scarcely begun. She
may even know the names that have
been given to these frocks In the Paris
salon, but IL, through lack of inter
est, she does not go that far, she
knows the name of the maker and
the source from which the gown
sprang.
There Is the Bulloz gown which goes
merrily on its way into the realms of
the ready-to-wear departments. It's
velours folds clings to many a figure,
and the broad gold mesh bag that COW
ers the front of the figure and forms
peplum to the belt, bangles and
jangles at many restaurant.
The gown by Jenny called Ma
Cheri would bring its creator a snug
little fortune If she had royalty on
every time 1t was copied.
You know this gown don't you? 1t
Is Of black velvet and white satin. II
Is quite simple, with its slim bodice
that runs below the waistline into
rounded curve to which the skirt Is
slightly gathered, its crayat girdles
that loosely encircle the waist, its
loose, elbow sleeves finished with n
turnover cuff of white satin, and the
broad folded surplice-bib of white
satin put around the neck and tucked
into the waistline.
Odd Origin of Name.
Possibly, however, you do not know
why Jenny named this gown Ma
Cherie. 1t is a copy de luxe of the
black and white uniform worn by the
women who serve the soldiers in Paris
at the restaurants and in the canteens.
The American soldier has learned to
call all these helpful and agreeable

perhaps, and every cline between con-
tributes skins. Even so the wonder
remains as to where the immense
supply comes from-only the furrier
really knows-and he is not going to
tell.
Three neckpieces and a muff appear
In the group of fashionable furs pic
tured above. At the left there Is
set of Hudson seal and fox-the vogue
of combining two furs persists-with
the cape of seal and collars of fox.

the front and finished with bands or

Waists Normal to Long.

All dresses except those designed
for young girls show either a normal
or long waist line, says the Drygoods
Economist. The Various lines for
college and high school girls have
rather short waists or by means
of wide girdles give general effect
of short waists. The use of wildly
colored plaid silks for trimming these
misses serge dresses seems to be
growing in favor Colors follow close
ly those shown in coats and suits,
with leaning. perhaps, of navy and
other shades of blue, which IRE not
seen except In few suits.

These war time days being deter
mined to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing, and also to forego wool that is
needed for the armies of the world,
my lady has taken to silk attire. This
Is no hardship at all,-women have al
ways loved silk. Besides satins in
several supple weaves and lovely
crepes have proved themselves depend
able for wear as well as beautiful, in
the first regard at least the equal of
many wooden fabrics.

mattresses by the one French phrase
he has quickly learned, "Ma Cherie."
SO Paris, with its quick love Of a
nickname, has adopted the title for it's
mattresses who serve the soldiers.
Jenny quickly saw the possibilities
of popular gown in this friendly lit
tie salute and therefore copied the
black and white uniform In velvet and
satin, adding some brilliant, ornament
al rhinestone buttons; and the Ameri-
can buyers swung it into line as the
biggest success of this season.
There are two other gowns that were
inspired by the sentiment between the
French public and the American SOL
diers, and these are sweeping upward
on the crest of the wave of popularity
as well as Ma Cherie. One Is Jeanne
Lanvin's Pershing, which Is in re-
markable tone of army gray and what
is called American blue. 1t could real
" be called Maryland blue along with
the Maryland brown, for it is the ex-
act shade of the wild ducks that one
shoots and eats on the Maryland
shores.
This Pershing gown looks some
what like an army overcoat. 1t hangs
straight, In the form of chemise, and
is loosely and roughly girdled in.
Lanvin has another cowboy costume
that runs in the same channel with
"Pershing." It is of khaki cloth
trimmed with itself slashed into the

LATE FALL AND WINTER HINTS

When the ground is frozen hard
enough to bear team, haul mulch to

trees and shrubs, the borders and beds
of roses hardy perennials, etc.
If you have bed of horse radish
or other perennial you wish to get rid
of, dump load of fresh manure upon

spring. This is good way to destroy
clumps of poison Ivy.

South America, With $4,000 Square

$4,000, 900 Inhabitants.

South America is thinly populated
The Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, which divided South America
between themselves in 1404, made lit
tie effort to attract immigration Of
their own people and denied admission
to peoples of other lands. The lands
were administered as crown colonies.
Large land grants were made to court
favorites. There was little opportu-
nifty for Individual enterprise, even II
the continent had been open to enter
prising men.
1t was only after the Latin repub-
lies had thrown off the rule of Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the immigra-
ton of the world. But revolutions and
epidemics decimated the populations,
and the continuance of the great land
holdings, which were just being brOk-
en- up, prevented the close setting Of
the country, SO that even now South

People who have a habit OF btnnA

likely to become infected from what
physicians rather aptly call 'corre-
spondence germs"
That the penholder, such as most OF
US frequently use in hotels. post Of
fees. banks and other public. writing
rooms may be as deadly carrier of
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cups, is the belief OF
medical authorities today.
The next time you use one of these
public penholders you will notice. If
you examine 1t carefully. that the
wooden handle is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprints
of the teeth of persons who have used
the pen before you; and as the mouth
is the favorite port of entry of disease
each dent is usually full of microbes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death. therefore, all you need do il
to bite on the penholder. Every time
you do this. you take into your mouth
the germs which scores of other per
sons have left by similar bites.
