Present.

New YOrk.-The merry-go-round of
fashion continues. Each of the great
centers where women's apparel is sold
reports an extremity of business that
has caused the work people loss of
sleep and threatened the heads of the
departments with a nervous collapse.
Naturally, women object to having
their gowns copied, and there is
hubbub in the apparel world concern
Ing the well established fact that the
gown which Is imported at cost of
5000 can be bought for $50 as copy
ut one of the ready-to-wear shops.
There is no remedy for this condl-
ton. The woman who insists upon
wearing models that are exhibited in
the early part of the season must face
the fact that she is apt to be repeated
through the streets or at parties as
though she were gazing into a maze of
mirrors.
There are experts who say that the
remedy for this condition lies in the
hands of the American designers. They
say that II the latter will create hun
dreds of gowns which are as agreeable

PLAN FOR FUTURE BEAUTY
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

by LIMA n. hOSE.
We who grow plants in our rooms
do so for the beauty of their foliage,
flowers, or both, and get the pleasure
from them to just the degree that we
can bring them to their utmost perfec-
ton. To attain this, with plants of
any kind) one must know their char
acteristics and requirements and con-
slider whether available conditions in
the home are adapted to the plants
desired.
If plant standing in the open beds,
or In sunny southern windows is max
ing grand showing of flowers, or
brilliantly colored foliage do not get
one like 1t expecting the same results
unless it can have similar conditions.
The same results cannot be secured If
the plant is put into shaded or north
ern window.
On the other hand primulas and 9TH
er plants that produce perfect flowers
In cool, semi-shaded rooms will not
prove satisfactory In place adapted
to those needing more tropical condi-
tons. The plant-lover who expects to
have all sorts Of plants grow and bloom
In the same window will certainly be
found wondering why some of them do
not come up to expectation.
Even the texture of the foliage needs
to be taken into consideration for
rough-leaved plants, that are injured
by frequent washings have no chance
to develop beautiful foliage in a room
where furniture needs busting every
day.
Space is another factor that makes
for satisfactory wlndow-gardening,
for certainly half dozen plants de-
veloped to perfect form and good size
are vastly more beautiful than twice
that number of deformed specimens
crowded into the space.
The question as to whether plants
should be turned or not is frequently

It, and that the back is slightly semi
fitting, In order to suggest some curves
in her figure These are matters to
take up with the dressmaker and the
corset maker. If they are managed
in the right way, her figure will be
improved by this particular style.
BY way of individuality the coat has
several odd features. The sides and
back Of the skirt portion are longer
than the front, where 1t fastens at
the left it is cut to contrive a panel
with buttons at each side and it has
an original idea in half-belts. Two
tabs, fastened in at the side seams,
have rounded ends, joined by fold
of the goods. This fold is finished
with little silk soutache braid. Each
tab has long buttonhofe with a silk
covered ornament slipped through it
instead Of a button. The band Of fur
about the neck may be detachable
with a high velvet collar or one of the
material Of the coat under it.
Panels set In or panels ranging
loose, but panels anyway, are to be
expected on the suits and frocks of to-

asked, and some people say: "Oh, don't
turn them, they will not bloom" and
so on. After years of working among
plants / hold this opinion on the sub
ject: Plants grown solely for their
beauty as seen from the outside will
serve the purpose better if never
turned, leaving foliage and flowers
drawn towards the glass, but ordinar-
lily they are grown for the adornment
of the room and the enjoyment Of
those inside and should be turned Of
ten enough to keep them symmetrical
In shape, for lop-sided plant show
ing all its stalks Ito those in the
room) is not very ornamental.
Very often plants are bedded out
for the summer and then potted for
the winter garden window, and almost
as often the potting Is delayed until
the plants must be taken In or frozen
and the result is lot of plants that
need a good share of the winter in
which to recuperate.
If they are growing where crowded,
sacrifice few branches from the sur
rounding plants in order to give them
space for shapely development, then
pinch out the ends of the branches on
the selected plants to force the forma-
ton of lateral branches. These late
raj branches furnish the blooming
points on geraniums and most flower
ing plants, and the more of them that
can be forced to start, the more flow
ers one has during the winter.
DO not select plants that have bloom
ed profusely during the summer for
1t Is against nature to expect them to
keep 1t up during the winter. Above
all, after deciding which plants shall
be potted for the winter display, keep
all the buds pinched out-do not let
single blossom develop until the plants
are established in winter quarters.
Do not leave plants in the bed until
forced by cold weather to take them

home. Those whose talents and tins
are given to millinery understand the
art of trimming better than even a
gifted amateur. But O fair needle
woman can copy many good trimming
IDEAS. Millinery shops and depart
ment stores, also, show many trim
mings all ready to sew on the shape
and in this way smooth the path of
the home milliner.
Three velvet-covered shapes are
shown In the picture for three differ
ent types of hats. A small, round tur.
ban at the left of the group needs only
ribbon cockade, fur pompon, a
smart-tailored bow, or fancy feather,
to be ready for street wear. 1t be-
longs to the class of tailored hats.
The shape with wide, droopy brim is
one Of those classed as portrait hats"
and may be trimmed with q scarf of
fur with an aigrette, with an ostrich
feather wreath or fringe-or hand
some ornaments of Jet. Ribbons, metal
brocades, and handsome fancy feath-
ers are appropriately used on hats of
this character or ribbons with flowers.

cred in factories by machinery. This
part of hat making has been brought
to such perfection that there is great
output of shapes in the stores, on sale
ready for trimming.
The shapes vary so much that there
is no good excuse for anyone to own
an unbecoming hat. There are small,
trim ones for street wear and large,
picturesque ones for dress, and those
that occupy place between-just,
smart, well-shaped velvet hats that
are equal to almost any occasion

and satisfying to women as the French
models, there will be chance for in
divid,Nl dressing.
This sounds well, but there are great
difficulties in the way Of establishing
it as reliable theory. An American
designer who has made a remarkable
reputation for her clothes insists that
she does not design more than dozen
models during n season and that she
hopes to sell a thousand gowns from
these models. There you are.
Knowledge of Gowns Valuable.
The knowledge of gowns-their sill
houettes, their fabrics, their various
movements-will be first aid to those
who are seeking not to be injured by
buying what they don't want. 1t is
not necessary to purchase u gown
merely because 1t strikes your fancy;
1t is a very good thing to see every
thing than can be arranged for your
inspection and then, out of all of them,
choose the one which you like the best
and which you think is the least apt
TO be worn by all your neighbors. If
you don't mind this duplication on
every side, then buy the gown which
suits you, regardless of how often 1t
will appear.
But the main thing to remember is
that you must not be disappointed if
you're not individual. There are GER
tain gowns that stand out as symbols
Of popularity.
The first one that comes to mind is

One of those closely buttoned up,
trim-looking, high-necked suits, that
give to wearers well-set-up, eff

of sort, like the Russian blouse, that
may be made becoming to the slen-
der figure and is sure to be becoming
to plumpness, so that 1t is a happy
choice for either.
This suit has taken sides with the
advocates Of the straight silhouette,
so 1t takes intelligent management on
the part of the slim woman to wear it
successfully. She must see to 1t that
she does not look too fiat chested in

Providing the shape is becoming

Ready covered, velvet shapes are more

the purpose for which the hat is to be
used.

SAXON NO LONGER

Whatever else the European war shall accomplish, It is to result in a complete dyorcement from English customs and ideals, and even nomenclature ot every thing German, or remotely German.
 Just now there is demand in the English press for taking the hyphen out of "Anglo-Saxon" and dropping the latter name Anglo" is thought comprehensive enough without the "Saxon, considering the fact that Saxon regiments are now in the trenches facng brtSh soldiers. ....,
 It is contended that the Saxon race in the British
 isles has long ceased to exist and that the term is dstaSte full to Scot Welshman an lrshman. These Celtlc races think several gentlemen of the press have furnish ed the enterprise the imagination and deasm that built the British empire If there is to be any hphen the neeo of which is admittedly not pressing It should oe uSeu Ill the term "Anglo-Celt."
 However it is not so important to England what it's blend shall be called is the quality of its manhood me blend under the national stress is acqutng itself credit ably Whatever it may be termed it is much the same blend as have here in the United States and the gen eric term "Brton or American" should be quite broad enough and flexible enough to cover either nationality (Post-Intelligencer)

Potatoes are grown to eat although most of the growers this country have never stopped to consider this fact but have been raising potatoes to se according to Lou D. Sweet who addressed the International Farm congress when it in session at Fl Paso on "Ihe Com mercial Possibilities of Potato Growing.
 In the opinion of the speaker the growers have con sdered only the market price and the best yield they could get without stopping realize that high quality not only stimulates consumption but also brings better financial returns q firmly believe continued Mr. Sweet that if the potato growers of this country would unite to grow only high grade potatoes with fine flavor and good value that the per capita consumption of potatoes in this cOun try could be practically double what it is now" Failure to properly rotate their crops and negligence in the grow ing and selection of good seed other causes that have contributed to the decreased potato production m the United States and the decreased consumption"

With the passing of General Frederick Funston, the United States loses one of its seven most experienced line officers at a time when line officers are greatly needed
 Funston was typical American warrior, ready to take the lead in all things He was human in that he sought and appreciated praise among his fellow men, but he never claimed credit for the accomplishments o otheS and made good at every opportunity.
