Work Of Turkey Hen.
A turkey hen that begins laying In
the middle of March will usually finish
laying her first litter early in April
her second late In April, and her third
litter about the third week In May,
depending upon the number Of eggs
she lays and the promptness with
which she is broken up on becoming
broody. Some turkey hens can be
made to lay four or five filters, but
this is not usually advisable as poults

not sufficiently mature the following
spring to be used as breeders.
Turkey hens can easily be broken
of their broOdlness by combining them
for two or three days to a coop with
a slat bottom. They will mate sOor
after being let out Of the coop and
begin laying in about q week. Turkey
hens and chicken hens usually are
used to incubate TURKEY eggs. although
incubators are quite generally used
where turkeys are raised on a large
scale.

Among the new evening gowns from
France this spring the twelfth century
tunic is as frequently seen as In the
street gowns, but the effect of the two
is strongly differentiated. For the eve
ming the designers use n narrow, slim,
primitive slip of satin or metallic
cloth the latter preferred. Over this
slip drops n much wider, more volumi-
lous, transparent robe. 1t is cut like

New York.-POris has sent her
clothes owe here. We have viewed
them. They have been acceptable in
large measure and approved Of in full
measure. And yet observes a promi-
nent fashion writer, we don't under
stand why they should be as they are.
They are a somersault from what has
been. Paris has preached occurrences,
economy, simplicity and modesty. Her
cloths have been symbolic of the tidal
a of depression that swept over her
spirit since 1914.
The Reason tor the Change.
Do you realize why Paris has sent
US over such brilliant, alluring, rich
clothes? 1t 1. because American mon
ey has burst upon her with such force
that she has gone up in a balloon, fig
uratively speaking,
France settled herself down for de-
mure clothes on the day of the war
and has kept to this contract with
herself, compelling the rest of the
world to dress likewise; but in the
autumn of 1917 there burst upon her
astOnlshed vision the vanguard of
America. They were not commercial
buyers; they were not cosmopolitan
multi-millionaires who aped the French
woman. They were the true repre-
s~entatives of a country whose vastness
and resources France had only guess
ed at. Boys in blue flannel sailor suits
had bank accounts of ten thousand
dollars each; women in Red Cross
uniforms could afford five hundred dol
lars per gown, If they wished privates
In khaki paid their bills without look
ing at their change canteen workers
hid under their collars strings Of
pearls worth fifty thousand dollars.
All these Americans laughed and went
to the theater and ordered expensive
dinners and jOked with the mldinettes.
The confusing part about this stu
alton Is that America is getting into
the spirit of economy and sOmberness
that Paris had n year ago. Our re-
formers preach Standardization, uni
fOrmity In clothes our economists
preach conservation our e~mOtiOnallsts
beg us to go about in black. without
smiles and turning our heads from the
wlles of pleasure, as though we were
early Puritans.

What the PrOphets WhIsper.

gray gown of crepe de chine or satin
and chiffon.
What the Prophets Whisper.
There is no disputing the fact that
French women have yielded to the
American desire to wear short skirts
on the street, and the skirts In these
new clothes are both narrow and short.
The women who appeared on the street
I'm them without leggings or high shoes
have created unpleasant criticism,
which should compel them to change
their style.
The smart ONE run a Logging or
a high clOth-tOp boot well up under
the hem of these short skirts, and the
effect is military and pleasing. But
at the very mOment that we are ac-
cepting with enthusiasm this continued
style of short and narrow garments,
the prophets say that the real French
skirts are growing longer. And the
smart American designers say the
same. They are making the garments
slim, without using an inch of surplus
material, but they are dropping them
to the ankles, emitting the leggings
and the high boots, and coming back
to the hat-heelGd pumps with broad
ribbon bows across the vamp.
Three or four of the best houses in
New York emphasize these skirts, and
those who are tired Of the brevity Of
the skirts we have worn for years are
accepting this new type of garment
with more than the usual enthusiasm.
If 1t had fullness It would be impOs-
sible for street usage, but its narrow
ness and the slight bias line at the
sides, that comes from the material
being pulled backward and upward,
make it a pleasing picture on the
street and an artistic contrast to the
prevailing garment.
Miles of Tulle.
Even when France starts out to be
demure she changes her mind and gets
a little fling Of gayety into the most
sOmber gown. For example, she
makes n black satin restaurant frock
I'm the style of the eleventh century,
with the long chemise, the slight Cir
ullnB ABOUT lllc hlpS anu lHe udll-lOW-
decolletage. Well and good. But she
is weary Of the black surface by the
time she gets to the armholes and the
neckline, so she swings in n pair OF
floating Chinese sleeves of jade green
tulle edged with jet, and she winds Il
narrow scarf of tulle once around the
neck, pulls its fullness once Over the
chin and weights its ends with Jet tas-
sells. When green isn't used, kings
blue or wine color is chosen.
Every French designer used what
she could of cOlOred tulle. There must
have been a competition over there
as to who could reduce the amount OF
tulle in France most quickly.
One designer took It into her head
to omit white collars and use as a
substitute tulle wrapped about the
neck and tied In a bow. This fashion
is already considered quite smart over
here. In restaurants, for l~uncheOns
and for any affair where the hat is re-
tanned the tulle which covers 1t forms
this collar, and sometimes drops In
long ends from the nape Of the neck
to the knees.
