New York.-New clothes are pass
ing before the eyes as quickly as a
vital and dramatic series of motion
pictures.
One has only sufficient mental vision
to catch at the leading points as they
swirl by. These things will not go
into oblivion. They will return as do
the moving films; but the world of
women wants to get at the gist of the
movement at this moment.
The whole continent of women is
buying autumn clothes. Those who
preached economy, suspension of fash
ions, standardized uniforms for wom-
en-, the turning of women buyers in
the industry of apparel into the work
of war relief, must feel that they have
preached in vain.
The reel of clothes that Is running
off quickly before the eyes of every
woman is not nearly so confusing If
one brings to bear upon 1t a we'll
adjusted judgment.
The first impression one has Is that
the vital changes are few, but this i'm
preston gives way after a day or two
to the feeling that the changes what
ever they are, are very important.
The majority of women look at new
clothes In the light of contrast to
old ones. There are few women so

tea aprons.
Sewing aprons are less trimmed,
but are made Of gayly lowered mate
rails. They are small and cut long
enough to be turned up at the bottom
to form a pocket for thread, needles,
pins, scissors and other things. They
are also wide enough to be fulled on
narrow ribbon that ties them about
the waist, and are cut with square
corners, not rounded like the tea
aprons. Bright silks may be used for
them and needlework, In fancy
stitches in decorations, or small RIB
bon flowers are pretty on them.
There Is something charming about
these small belongings for home wear
that every woman may own. They
make always welcomed Christmas
gifts and are easy to make at home
and inexpensive, even when bought In
the shops. ready-made.

early and ship them to cities North,
where the demand for flowers In May,
ending Decoration day, May 80, is SO
great ms TO exhaust the entire output.
1t is the one season Of the year when
flowers are scarce.
The peony Is TIE only flower OF
prominence that blooms early enough
in the SEASON and the one flower that
defes dollhouse culture. It Is an out
door plant and will not succeed when
put under glass, and therefore cannot
easily be forced by artificial means.
When planted on land that is quick
to respond to the first rays Of the sun
I'm the spring, land Sloping to the south,
but made rich and powerful to pro-
duce a strong vegetable growth, the
peony will produce flowers to ship
about May 18.
At this season of the year there Ia
not flower Of any variety to be seen
In any northern market unless 1t comes
from further South.
The blooming season lasts about 10
days and Is generally at its height
Just before Decoration Day.
The plants never fall to bloom, re-
quire but little care, and being legum-
inous, enrich the soil.
Once in the ground, there they re-
main for five years. No other flower
Is more deserving Of popularity. SO
easy to raise that the novice can raise
it, so permanent that clump has been
known to bloom annually for half a
century. So hardy that no protection
is required in the bitterest of winters,
and so free from disease and fungus
that one is spared the labor of fighting
disease.

Lead-PenciI Figure.
There will be hundred or more
remarks like this made by the women
who view the clothes of the hour.
France has not changed her silhouette
as much as America has. She pro-
duced the lead-pencil figure late last
spring, but America takes 1t up this
season with an enthusiasm that is
usually given to what is original.
A few of the American designers
have exaggerated the French idea.
There have been certain gowns sent

the trade over the country, which put
n womans figure back to where 1t was
in 1880. The skirt is pulled about the
figure until movement Is actually i'm
peded. 1t has all the symptoms of the
famous pull-back skirt to which the
hustle was attached. That appendage
is also in fashion, but made so incOn-
spicuous that it cannot offend even
the most conservative taste.
Odd as it may sound, many of these
pull-back skirts are longer than any
thing we have had for four years.
They have to be of decent length, for
their tendency to lift at the back and
null across the knees would bring the
front hem higher than the law allows.
1t is mockery to refer to law in
dress, probably, in the light of what
we have seen during the last two
wears, for what the Fgench call "a
souvenir of skirt and regret of a
bodice" has been combined to make
the average woman's costume.
However, as one reviews the skirts
of the moment, there Is definite rea-
son to believe that the figure will look
much as it did last spring. Trimming

40 inches from the ground, instead OF

GROW CHINESE PEONlES

large red flower of stiff, waxy appear
ance, blooming generally In May. 1t
was not beautiful, but it was hardy
and pushed it's way out Of the ground
In the spring as soon as the frost
would permit.
Peony Is the botanical name for this
plant. Varying forms of 1t have been
In cultivation In the celestial and flow
ering Kingdoms of China and Japan for
a long period Of time.
In China these forms have been
crossed and recrossed thousands OF
times. The hybrids that are the re-
suit of these centuries Of crossing are
the most beautiful flowers In the
world.
While travelling In China several
years ago l had the rare good fortune
to be in the interior during the bloom
Ing season Of these Towering plants,
and | was so much impressed with
them that | purchased 1000 of the
most striking and popular colors for
the home test.
These arrived In good condition and
were carefully planted on my farm In
Virginia. They flourlshed from the
start. I readily sold blooms last year
for $500 dozen. Most of these went
to New York and Boston. At this
price for the flowers an acre of estab-
lished plants would produce splen-
did income.

these flowers Is to get the blooms

Washington. D. C., July IS, 1917
Temperature below the normal pre-
vailed from the central Mississippi
and Ohio valleys southwark, and
above the normal in the north and
west. Well distributed rains fell in
the south and there was sufficient rain
for the growing crops in the central
Mississippi valley eastward, but rain
is badly needed in the central Mis-
souri, valley and westward. Corn i'm
proved in all central and eastern dis
tricts but needs more rain badly in
Kansas. The rain came too late for
most of the corn in Oklahoma and
Texas. Corn is tasseling north to the
upper Ohio and central Missouri val
leys. Recent rains caused some delay
to haying, harvesting and threshing
in eastern districts, but this work
progressed satisfactorily in central

improved in Minnesota, South Dakota

GRATED greatly in Montana and west
