Partisan Designers of Recent
Models Have introduced a
Novel Feature.
EFFECT IS THAT OF FRAME
Designs Seen So Far Have Been
Charmingly Effective-Many Ways
in Which 1t Can Be Arranged
to Get Best Results
Bouses Without Belts.

New YOrk.-An actually new fea-
ture of fashion which the materials
reflect, or possibly instigate, is the
use of a turned-up hem, called cuff
hem, at the bottom of skirts, made of
brilliant colors or plain fabrics, with
an Egyptian or Aztec design printed
on them. There are many kinds of
materials for these borders, and a
woman can frame herself In, as it
were, by bordering her skirt, cuffs,
collar and waiStline.
All artists know the value of
ment of lines and colors needs strong
outline around it to cooperate its
parts into a pleasing whole, and it is
the artists who have constantly i'm
pressed upon women that their cos
tunes need some one strong note 60
ing around the figure. At last comes
the border, to do this very thing. You
yourself know the difference between
an unframed and framed picture
You know what striking character Is
gwen TO small design OF any KIND by
taking bit of dark paper or cray
on and putting a line around it.
Now, exactly this thing is being
done in fashion. A woman will be
framed in with u sharp line of some
dark or brilliant color. 1t need not
be broad. A slender line does the
work in an effective way. On Shan
tung, tussor, jersey silk and muslin1,
there will be sharp, distinct frame
made through a border of the same or
another material in marked coloring.
Where 1t Is Most Effective.
1t is more important to put this
striking frame around a gown which
has designs on it, than around one
made of plain fabric. Take, for in

ChiId's Apron.

When the child feels too grown-up
to wear bib, one can persuade it to
cover its pretty frock with an apron,
provided the apron is attractive. For
this purpose clever mother designed
and made very cunning model. She
used blue-checked bingham for the
apron and cut it so that the apron had
sleeves. BY using the kimono idea,
cutting the apron and sleeves in one,
the pattern called for very little extra
work or material. The neck line was
bound with blue braid and the same
trimmed the narrow cuffs into which
the sleeves were gathered. Across the
bottom Of the apron was stitched a
strip Of white muslin on which figures
of children were painted. The muslin
forms a deep pocket, which kiddie can
use for any purpose she desires. The
idea Is no doubt taken from the
pocket apron so much in favor with
grown-ups who do fancywork.

The wide headband is of Violet-colored
straw made of narrow strips tapping
each other. The daring, stiffened
crown is of violet satin, piped at
the outer edge.
material, there has come about re-
vival Of this primitive style of hand
work. 1t has been used for three or
four years on that wide assortment Of
so-called garden costumery that took
women's fancy, but, as means of
ornamentation, 1t was not used on high
priced, elaborate garments until Ian
vim and Cheruit took it up for velvet
evening capes. Lanvin went from
shocking to quilting, and it is rather
strange that America has not caught
up with this trick of fashion, for we
were once known as a nation of quilt
erS and our quilting bees, as method
of social diversion, were incorporated
into our history.
The French are still using quilting
as method of ornamenting coats and
| one-piece frocks. A satin street suit,
made with severity, has its hem, its
belt, and the wrist part Of its long,
tight sleeve finished in machine quilt
ing done in coarse, black silk thread.
Sports skirts Of white jersey have
quilted hens of scarlet, and quilted
kangaroo pockets hanging from the
sides of the three-quarter coats. This
stitchery rivals shocking on the
French gowns, and both of these meth
DDS of ornamenting a plain garment
should suggest to the woman who sews
at home, an excellent way out of an
ever present difficulty.

the street and the empire waistline for
the house.
Mind you, the Russian blouse, or any
kind of bodice that has an outside pep
lum, does not carry belt that con-
fines the material at the waistline and
into the measurements of the figure
it carries belt that IS even in outline
but merely takes in a bit of the fullness
at the place where the waistline Is
arranged on the figure itself. This In
an interesting development in clothes
and should not be missed by the wom-
an who watches the small things.
No Sleeves to BIouses.
Another interesting feature is that
these Russian blouses are without
sleeves. This is nothing new, but its
accumulation In these late styles shows
that we will probably keep to the
jumper effect. Even in house gowns
there are sleeves Of fine, tea-tinted
muslin with Byzantine embroidery at
the cuffs, and bit of yoke, or rath-
er, a line of the same material COM
ing above the oblong fairness of the
neckline. These sleeves and this piece
at the neck are not detached from the
blouse; they are part of it.
There are also bl0uses made Of bril-
liant red Shantung which are cut we'll
out at the armholes, and rather high
at the neck in the medieval line and
show an underpiece of black satin that
comes well out over the armholes.
From this satin encircling the wrist,
drop the full peasant sleeves with their
vivid embroidery.
Revival of Smoking.

being somewhat like him in that re-
Spect, a mutual attraction had grown
up between them. Then came Miss
Kraft to visit the Stevensons, who
lived in the most pretentiOus house in
the place. She was a settlement work.
er in New York, and having acciden-
tally met Jennie, she became inter-
sted In her; and when the girl told
her of the necessity for finding work,
and her desire to go to New York
to try to earn something, Miss Kraft
promised to see what she could do.
Joe had very little sympathy with
Jennie's desire for New York. She
was perhaps foolishly reticent regard
ing the real reason, not explaining as
she had to Miss Kraft. She thought
he did not care. He did not ask her
to stay. And Joe believed she wished
to get away from the little village,
himself included, to find in the great
city the chance for excitement and
the kind Of life he loathed. So 1t was
a misunderstanding all around. He
did not know that one word from him
would have kept her there, even
though she had scrubbed floors for a
living, and perhaps he had not yet
thought of speaking that word.
SO with the bitter memory of his
Indifference ranking in her heart,
Jennie went down to the great city.
The place Miss Kraft had found for
her was that of a saleswoman in a
cheap department store downtown.
The pay was so small that though she
shared small, comfortless room with
another girl, prepared her slender
breakfast over gas jet, and ate a
ten-cent lunch, there was very little
left at the end of the week. Out of
this meager amount she sent some
thing to her mother with reassuring
words of raise in her salary. At
first 1t seemed to Jennie she would
not be able to stand the prlvation and
hard work; but pride and determi-
nation to hold on kept her at 1t.

bold, crudely-colored Egyptian figures

Prosperity on the Farm

The average farm family has earn
ings, including house rent and value
of food and fuel supplied by the farm,
about equal to those Of the average
industrial family, but the farmer has
the advantage Of a much lower cost
of living and has, in addition to his
earnings. the interest on the money
he has invested in his farm business.
The wages Of the average farmers
are about 5000, composed Of about
5000 in cash and about $500 supplied
by the farm. The average wage
Garner in a factory earns about $3.50,
and the average salaried employee
about $1,000. Thus the farmers
wages are higher than those of sala-
ried employees in industry. How
ever, 10 view of the lower cost of liv-
ing on the farm and the fact that
two.thirds of the farmer have inter-
est on their investment in addition to
wages, it appears that farmers, as a
class, are better off than the majority
of persons engaged in other pursuits.
Even though this is true they could
be making more if each farmer knew
in detail the income of his business.
Do you keep a set Of books on your
farm? The system used need not be
complicated. And if you do you will
