American social life. it is no wonder that Chinese embroidery brocaded slippers, jade bracelets to hold down winged draperies, and remarkable gir- dies of colored crystals and old satin have been gleefully taken up by those who are looking for interesting con- binations in color and fabric.
 There are entire Chinese tea gowns made fo.- women oi fastidious and exacting taste. which are first cousins to the costumes worn in the old Chi nese plays. These gowns are embroid- cred in a gold dragon. they are splashed with black. they have won- derful red satin Things, and, taking all in all they are a bit too unusual to be given the background of an average house. They need something exclusive
 It is big drop from such house costumery to the simple and yet alte : gether lovely tea gowns that a woman may turn out in her own sewing room with lowered muslin, some old blue ribbon. and the silk or satin lining left from last years party frock

ment was made, however, before the English woman had learned to copy the arts and the graces of face and figure her stiff, unyielding, ugly clothes; her big boots. straight, mannish Scotch tweeds and raglan coats.
 The English tea gown has spread over the civilized world. alongside of the English 5-o'clock tea, which even the American soldiers behind the French bat tie fronts have learned to desire.
 The British wear two sets of costumery at that hour in the afternoon, and both of these are introduced this summer; the lowered muslin with the big shade hat and the alluring tea gown with its fanci- full coloring and it's loose grace. FRENCH SUBSTITUTE
 IT FOR DINNER GOWN
 One of the reasons that America is wearing this tea gown at and after the o'clock hour is that the French have taught her the economy and pleasure of it.
 But there is another reason behind this epidemic of colorful tea gowns. which the French do not always give to the outsider, but which is we'll known in French life today. It is that public opin- ion and personal inclination both contrive to repress the wearing of bright colors on the streets anywhere in France.
 Black, midnight blue, olive green, beige and munitions gray have ruled the out door costumery of the French people since August, 1914 They have worn white only at mountain and seashore re- sorts, and then it was restricted to sport clothes for the morning hours.
 Well, human nature goes along the line of depression just so far and then some thing must happen. It is well that this is so, otherwise this would be world of melancholia.
 The French are quite willing to wear dark and demure clothes in the street. but they ease up the depression of their spirits by adopting colors in their own homes. At the opera, the play, in public restaurants, one sees clothes in somber colors; but in the French homes-espe- cially in the Paris houses, where women are involved in social system-there is a brilliant display of the British tea gown. It solves the problem it satisfies the need for color; it does not Haunt it self in the face of the public. It is worn intimately, cheerfully and artisti- cally in ones own home.

 The modern employer is a captain ct industry, in some cases a general. What does he expect of those coming to his re- cruiting station? In many cases he has thousands of troops, whose movements he must direct for the winning of his conquests. The first thing he says to himself, as he looks the recruit over is, will 1t pay me to train this young chap; can I make anything out of him? This IS very serious problem in waste avoidance. It has been calculatd that the cost of breaking a green hand IS anywhere from s40 to $50, items of ex- pense which are appreciable when the number of employees runs up into tie hundreds and even thousands.

The world goes on reviving old thing' and calling them new. This is not only true of the stupendous spectacle of war $ in it's most barbaric form, but it is true of the minor accidents and happenings that flutter through this emoroglio called life.''
 Observe fashions. The designers dip their hands deep into the boiling pot of ancient lands, history and peoples, and pull out of it demure or fantastic things, which they dress up bit and give over to a most modern people, who accept them as new.
 Today the designers are dipping more deeply than ever. They seem to be frantically pulling out odds and ends of flotsam and jetsam that must serve to whet the appetites of those who have money.
 We must spend that others may live, is the motto of the hour among those who realize that steady wages keep work CTS from charity organizations and the poor house.

TEA GOWNS FROM EARLY

All of the house robes that are to be substituted for dinner gowns this spring and summer do not owe their inspiration to the exotic east. There are other epochs and other fashions from which the designers draw
 The early nineteenth century has been found prolific in ideas. The tea gowns which are taken from that time .are sometimes more suitable for the average woman than the more compli- cated draperies.
 These are made of lowered chiffon. printed voile and silk net, and they are run beneath bust. after the manner that obtained in the directoire, with broad ribbons of old blue, pale pink and Chinese yellow. They are half

 There are India muslin tea gowns made on long. flowing, supple lines, that drop from the bust and are sir dled with broad sashes in pastel colors, that tie at the side with one loop and two long fringed ends.

 There are tea gowns made from white or black satin evening frocks. The shoulders and arms are draped with scarfs of thin lace or embroid- cred chiffon. The drapery forms a winged sleeve and is caught in at the wrist with a crystal bracelet TOUCH TAKEN FROM

RENTING GARDEN HATS
 AND TEA GOWNS

It seemed a fitting thing today to re- vive the simplicity of Civil war costum- cry, and therefore we see approaching us an era of printed muslins, garden hats, pastel colors and colonial fichus.
 Along with these fashions comes that intimate and usually alluring garment called the tea gown. It is as much a part of the English social system as B. o'clock tea, cricket and parliament The French have always placed their reliance upon the garment which they call the robe d'interieur." But the American had nothing to place beside these two.
 When this remark was once made to a French designer she lifted her eyebrows in surprise and asked, But is there not the Mother Hubbard?" There was, she was assured, but it was not the kind of garment of which she would approve. The picture that leaped through the mind was amazing when one contrasted the frowzy shapeless, cotton Mother Hubbard of the cabbage patch and the back door step in crowded neighborhoods, with the s200 confection of the seductively dressed French woman seen against a pale-gray background. So the subject was dropped

STUDY slL0s AT IOWA STATE
FAIR

II any man Is In doubt as to mat
ters OF silo construction he should visit
the Iowa State Fair and make a study
of the proposition at first hand.
The Iowa State Fair is the only
place in the middle West where COM
plete silos can be seen. Other places
either begrudge them the room or else
limit building operations to founda-
ton work. With more than 800 acres
of ground In the state fair plant the
Iowa management finds room to az
plot everything Of interest to farmers,
and liberal plot Of ground was set
aside and dedicated to the sflo indus
try. From time to time silos have
been built until now that corner has
become a regular silo town. With the
exception of the pit silo about every
idea In silo construction ever conceived
has been worked out. There are wood
en- staye silos, cement, brick, block,
tile, metal, ETC., etc. For practical in
formation it beats book lore and sales
mems spiels million miles. And
there will be all kinds OF silo-alling
and silage-cutting machinery on exhi-
bition and in operation. The govern
ment is conducting silo-building cam
paign this year, as a part Of food con
servation propaganda, and this SPLEEN
did silo exhibit at the Iowa State Fair
will be all to the good for the man who
wants practical information.

powerful interest to the citizens Of Iowa
and adjoining states the last ten DAYS

and Camp Dodge, where thousands Of
soldier boys from Iowa, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Missouri are in training.

that the Iowa State Fair is the great
