HONEY IS WASTED EVERY YEAR

An editorial in Farm and Fireside,
the national farm paper published at
Springfield, Ohio. says:
THE present centeriHg of attention
by economists on food waste is show
ing that one of the most unnecessary
losses of a valuable food product is
the ungathered nectar of flowers.
speaking in a broad way, there are
few farms in America that do not an
nually produce several hundredweight
of honey over and above the honey
required to sustain the bee harvesters
of this appetizing staple food pro-
duct
THE farms on which the owners
systematically plan to save their
honey at present are less than one
in a hundred. On several million
American farms where this honey
goes unharvested year after year this
wastage aggregates billions Of dol
lars.
"A Minnesota scientific bee cultur-
ist, Francis Jager, is authority for
the statement that 100 colonies of
honey bees suitably located and prop
erly cared for, can be expected to
average a net production of profit
twice as great as that of the aver
age 160-acre farm of his State can
show, while the equipment and over
head is less. OF course, 100 colonies
of bees cannot be pastured on an
average-sized farm, but there are
innumerable farms where a dozen
hives of bees could gather 500 worth
of honey annually

any color that may be desired. For
those who prefer the Oxford-and
many wear them both summer and
winter-there are the high-top spats
in colors to match the dress. Nothing
could be more stylish than the vari-
GUS shades of russet and brown
feathers, generally, though not al
ways. made up in the more sensible
boots with medium heels for general
utility wear.
Beading, so popular on all the other
garments OF women, finds a place on
the toes of the dainty slippers for aft
ernOon or evening wear. Black satin
embroidered in silver beads furnishes
a style which has a firm hold this
season, though jet beads have a
vogue and those of various color fur
nish a high note in the costume of
the woman who wants the very lat
est thing.
My lady's slippers for dancing
events must glisten with rhinestone
buckles, large or small, or the fash
ing stones must combine with en-
broidery in furnishing an embellish-
ment for the foot. The hosiery for
these are as dainty as a lace hand
kerchief, and in the large stock
Berberich's carry a tone OF hosiery
for every pair OF shoes they sell.

Notes on Bows Wear.

AS in the STYLES for their mascu-
line elders, the keynote of boys
fashions in both suits and overcoats
runs towards belts and shirred backs,
belts and yoke backs, belts and pleat
back. belts all around, three-piece
belts, two-piece belts, mock belts and
then more belts.
In short, the belted garment in Vari-
Gus conceptions OF expression is the
dominating style for fall and winter.
The designers of these garments
have run riot to introduce distinctive
touches of novelty into their models
to get that different" effect from
the other fellows with a result that
the fashions are varied and volumin-
GUS.
But withal there is a superlative de-
gree of nattiness in the boys styles
for this season that is pleasing and
pronounced.
In the suits the lapels are a trifie
wider and shorter than heretofore
and come either to a very sharp point
or a slightly rounded peak. Collars
are high set, pants are of the bloomer
style, but with a trifle less bagginess
than last season and come a trifie
higher below the knee.
Coat cuffs show many forms Of nov
city Ornamentation expressed mostly
by button treatments and cloth tabs.
Pockets are either patch, flap, slash
or inverted pleat. The flap pockets
usually embellished with button
schemes.
Many mackinaws will be worn by
boys of all ages. The little fellows
will have caps and leggings to match.
The style treatments in these macki-
naws with reference to backs, cuff.
and belts are OF the same modelling
described for suits. Patterns are of
the enormous plaids and all colors of
the rainbow will make up the color
schemes.

No longer does the term "iapper"
carry a stigma when applied to
youthful aspirants for big sisters
style. Without so much as by your
leave, the younger sets, even down to
the Httlest girl, have adopted their
elders newest fads in dress, and the
way they manage to put it over is
very delightful in its insouciance.
Mothers mannish coat revers are
reflected in the smart, straight-lined
cloak OF her younger daughter. All
this talk of the awkward age vanishes
when one sees a miss who has a
sympathetic and understanding dress
maker. or a mother who has the won
derful gift of making her growing girl
easy to look at"
Very good indeed are tweed coats
with double belts and a hat to match,
for school or travelling. For little sis
ter. or brother for that matter. the
regulation blue REFER coats always
have an air that Is unmistakably

INVENTS TROUSSEAU
I'm A nutshell" |"
Goldenbers's Designer Offers Won
derful Creation for War
Time Brides.

A little sentiment crept into Col
denberg's big department store when
the head of the suit department took
time to put up trousseau "in a nut
she'll" as 1t were, for wartime brides.
There she stands near the center
Of the suit department. on a hand
some Oriental rug about SKI, and with
absolutely everything for trousseau
that a real genuine wartime bride
may need. The thought is not for the
girl who has time and money for the
white satin and tulle gown, the long
tulle veil fastened with tiny clusters
OF orange blossoms and carrying the
shower bouquet which one reads about
in the social column, but for the girl
he leaves behind with an earnest look
into the future.
She is just mannikin girl,
but enough brains have been used
in her trousseau to engineer
dozen weddings. She wears
plainly tailored street suit-her
wedding gown-of the softest cloth
in old Burgundy color, with self
made buttons-just a few of them
and a handsome big square collar
Of dark brown fur. The hat is a turned
up sailor of black Lyons velvet with
an outstanding fringe of gourra about
the edge. There is a separate waist of
old Burgundy chiffon with a white
Georgette crepe vest and a few touch
es Of embroidery and a general utility
one-piece dress OF fine navy blue serge
with sleeves of Georgette and the
square cut next finished with folds Of
white.
For afternoon or to use as a semi
dress dinner gown such as the women
over in Paris have adopted, there is
Burgundy satin crepe de chine hand
somely embroidered, made effective
with Georgette sleeves and a dozen
touches of elegance in the finish.
There are light gray boots to match
the gray fur square and muff for
dress parade. and nifty dark shoes
with military heels for general utility.
There are a few other suggestions,
and there she stands. Goldenberg's

The separate dress department is
filed with happy thoughts for women
with much and little money, and every
dress bears a distinctive touch in en-
broidery, braiding or beading. and the
stock of sensible black satin dresses
with white wash satin collars is al

FALL FASHIONS FOR THE MOTORIST

Suits for sporting wear are fur
trimmed and embellished with en-
broidery quite as elaborately as those
used for other purposes. The differ
ence is that the furs chosen are the
short-haired variety, and the embroid-
cry Is done in woods, the fancy stitch
ing or the braided patterns. The eN-
ira cost in tunic type has almost re-
placed the short coat, though some
women still cling to the improved
models of the Norfolk. An example
Of the early autumn suits is one of
black satin with long double-breast-
ed tunic coat edged at neck, wrists
and at the bottom with bands OF
Alaska sable. The buttons are Of
black with gold flecks through them,
and there Is a pointed black satin,
gold embroidered piece set in below

is loosened. The coat is lined with
