ALLIED VEGETABLES.

II the average English person were
asked to name the national vegetable
Of America he would unhesitatingly
say maize. by which he would mean
green corn-though the word corn of
course, to an Englishman means wheat
and nothing but wheat. Sometimes he
makes concession and calls maize
Indian corn. And If the average Eng
lishman We're asked to name one Of the
chief advantages of being an American
he might quite likely say "in order to
eat maize, for, according to the axiom
licious than staple foods, the English
man is usually very fond Of the taste
OF corn. To be sure, efforts have been
made to raise green corn in England
and some of them have been fairly sue
cessful. but there is too. much damp
ness and not quite long enough sun
shine to make maize a profitable vege-
table anywhere in Great Britain.
Besides maize we have squashes that
our British cousins do not have but
apparently taste for squash is some
thing that needs to be cultivated, for
one might almost say that one of the
reasons why a Britisher who has tasted
squash once would give for being very
glad he was not an American would be
that he would be spared the discomfort
! of eating squash Wax pod beans, an
American vegetable. are. however, much
admired in England.
Most Europeans regard what the
English call capsicum as purely Span
| ish vegetable. but as green pepper it
| is more and more coming into cultiva-
| ton In this country. So that is an
| other American vegetable.
Aside from onions and leeks and all
their cousins the Italians are especially
noted for finocchio or Florence fenneE
something not unlike celery-which for
some reason has not been much culti-
| waited in this country.
What the Englishman calls aubergine
lin realty the eggplant--is regarded
as national French vegetable, though,
of course, no Frenchman could long
survive without chicory or the globe
tsrtichoke.

The Bell Shaped Hat.

When every change had been rung
on the straight turban, the oblong
toque, the feathered oval, the Russian
army caps, the Indian turbans, one OF
the milliners revived the cloche or the
bell hat with its wide-mouthed head
opening. 1t gave every woman a
chance to wear a small hat, and, al
though the French women have eager
ly seized upon it since the beginning
of the war, it has not had a strong or
marked success in this country.
This spring, Georgette. the French
milliner who for many years has scored
several successes a season, insisted
upon the cloche shape for the Ameri-
can trade and the shops over here have
handled them in hundreds and women
have found them more universally be-
coming than the stove pipe shape that
gave not a flicker of shadow over the
eyes. OF course. this style of hat COW
ers the hair at the back as 1t does on
the sides. a trick which Is not attract
i've unless one has exceedingly bad
hair. but one defect must be yielded
to large advantage.

Farmer Browns Boy Is Clever

The instant Farmer Browns Boy saw
that hole beneath the big rock way back
in the Old Pasture he knew that he had
found the home of Reddy Fox. And when
he saw a few feathers cinging to tho
bushes close by he knew that Reddy had
eeme children there. Those feathers told
him that. He knew that neither Reddy
nor Mrs. Reddy would have brought a
Chicken way up here to the Old Pasture
to eat. The very fact that it had been
brought way up there told him that there
were youngsters too small themselves to
60 hunting
Now, Farmer Browns Boy hadn't had
Reddy Fox for neighbor without learn
Ing just how smart Reddy is. He had
seen Reddy enter the Old Pasture with
something in his mouth. 1t was this that
home 1t had taken him quite while
to find that home, and although he hadn't
caught so much as glimpse Of Reddy's
bright coat since he himself had entered
the Old Pasture. he didn't have shadow
Of doubt that Reddy had seen him. 1t
might be that Reddy was inside that
house now. but Farmer Browns Boy
doubted 1t. The chances were that Reddy
was that very minute watching him from
q hiding place among the bushes.
Farmer Browns Boy didn't walk over
to that hole under the big rock, as you or
I might have done. He was too clever
for that He knew that II he should do
that Reddy would know at once that his
home had been found. Then he and Mrs.
Reddy might dig a new home and remove
their children there. They are very smart
are Reddy and Mrs Reddy, and no one
knows it better than Farmer Browns
Boy. So though he fairly ached to ex-
anime that home and to see II there were
prints of little feet in the sand in front
Of 1t, he kept right on past as If he hadn't
seen 1t at all.
Just as surely as I am walking that
Fox is watching me-" thought he "I
know him. want to see those young
sters of his. but IL he suspects that I
know anything about them I'll never
get the chance. I've got to fool him.
II I keep right on perhaps he'll think
] haven't seen his home and IL he does
he won't change it. Then I'll have to
fnd a good hiding place a little way
on from which j can watch what goes
on here. Those feathers are certainly
chicken feathers. but they are not from
my chickens. They are a different
color from any ! have. All the same.
I'll keep my chickens shut up a little
closer than ever. Young Foxes grow
fast, and to grow fast they need lot
to eat. Reddy hasn't bothered my

was a certain high, fiat rock there, and
to the top of this Farmer Browns Boy
crept very carefully, that he might not
make a sound. Just as he had hoped
he found he could look down and see
Reddy's home. Farmer Browns Boy
chuckled. for there in front of his home
sat Reddy Fox, looking in the direction
In which he had seen Farmer Browns
Boy disappear.

New Gingham Hats.

Gingham hats are novelty. and are
quite appealing, not only because of
their smartness, but because of their
appropriateness for seashore and coun-
try wear. Ginghams in large plaids
and stripes are usually more effective
than those in smaller designs.

OF Interest TO Women
SILK AS A HOT, WEATHER MATERIAL.
By ANNE RITTENHoUsE.
,nce Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. May 22.-Silk is cheaper
than cotton, say the majority of those
who discuss the availability of fabrics
for the next year.
1t is true that 1t is reasonably priced
as underwear, and one can get excel
lent garments in it for what one pays
for somewhat middle-class garments of
muslin and lace.
Silk underskirts have replaced che
misses in many wardrobes. Silk bloom
ers are preferred to muslin knicker-
bockers. Crepe de chine nightgowns
are used instead of elaborate pieces of
fine needlework on lawn. Wash satin or
silk petticoats have almost entirely re-
placed those of cotton. Even under the
ordinary sport skirt goes the plain
ing of val or cluny lace at the hem. or
a band of scallops to steady the edge.
Women wear silk stockings as COM
monty as they once wore isle thread
ones. The factories have made them
cheap enough for the large majority
and they are not considered luxuries
even by the girls who work. They may
be half cotton. but the part that shows
fashion for the short skirt has led the
way for all women to be extravagant in
shoes and stockings, but silk ones have
been in evidence everywhere for hve
years. The reason is their comparative
cheapness.
Wash SILK Sk1rtS.
1t is no longer thought extravagant
to substitute silk for pique, linen or
cotton duck skirts. Its price is with
in the limits of the majority of purses,
it washes better and more easily than
the ordinary white fabrics, and 1t is
cool. Good reasons, all. for it's pref
erence. With fashion demanding
silhouette that is slim without sever
fly, the best medium of obtaining 1t
is with fabric that does not ask for
starch. The omission of this tngredi-
ent is also a measure of economy this
summer with the price Of 1t as high as
1t is.
The manufacturers Of silk have
flooded the market with such a vast
variety of weaves, patterns, colors and
designs that no one will have trouble
in getting whatever Is most suited to
the purse the figure and the social op-
portunities. And remember the latter
condition. always. when buying any ma
terial or choosing any garment The
woman who rarely leaves the city streets
does not want to invest her money in
sport clothes. That's wasting n.
Wash satin has come to the front
as well as silk for separate skirts. Its
heaviness of texture is not all that
could be desired. unless it is imported
from France, where they weave a spe-
cial and durable brand of satin that
will last a generation. The weave we
have here for sport skirts. or even for
use around the house with blouSeS OF

suspect that the only reason he
hasn't is because he thinks 1t is safer
not to catch chickens quite so near his
own home"
All the time he was thinking these
things Farmer Browns Boy had kept
right on walking. SO that pretty soon
he was quite out of sight Of Reddy's
home. When he felt that he had gone
far enough to remove any suspicious
Reddy might have he turned toward
another part of the Old Pasture. He
felt it in his bones that Reddy had
followed him. and in this he was right.
Reddy had. But when Reddy saw him
turn toward another part of the Old
Pasture he stopped following him. He
concluded just as Farmer Browns Boy
hoped he would, that his home hadn't
been discovered after all.
Farmer Browns Boy kept on for
some distance, then turned again and

RUG CLEANING AT HOME.

Rugs of good quality and fast dyes
may be cleaned with soap and water.
First, however, remember that water
plus dust equals mud-therefore, be-
fore the soap and water is applied, the
Il should be thoroughly cleaned of
dry dust. Then place the rug on a
tablet is easier to work there than
on the floor-apply the soap and water
and work up a thick lather with a soft
brush. The rug does not need to be
soaked. but simply scrubbed vigorous
ly. The lather should be wiped Off
with a sponge or soft cloth wrung out
of warm water. This is all the rims
ing necessary. Brush the nap all one
way so that it may be dry, smooth and
velvety. With a whisk broom give the
dry rug a final finish.

been celebrated in American Falls for
many years. While the big AL G..
