GRAY MATTER AND CLOTHES
How a Smart Girl Copied Hat She
Saw i'm Shop Window, Making a
Most Clever Reproduction.

Read about these two clever things
that one girl did whose allowance for
clothes was nothing what it should
have been, which only goes to prove
that pocketbooks don't always make
smart clothes and that gray matter
has a lot to do with it. She saw hat
she liked in a smart shop window. 1t
was a tricorn, with the most adorable
trimming cockades on each of the three
sides. But she couldn't afford it. How
ever, she went straightway and bought
a plain silk tricorn and then proceed
ed to copy those fetching little cock
AIDES. She painted a wooden button
mold with some gilt paint, then covered
it with some dainty figured chiffon.
The result was that of an enameled
ornament. She then used some long
yellow and black beads, which she had
on hand, and arranged them around the
button as spokes in a wheel, backing
the whole thing with a plating Of the
folded chiffon. -
This same girl did wonders to a
plain blue chiffon blouse designed to
be worn with dark blue suit, but not
quite dressy enough as it stood when
bought.

BETTER POULTRY

One must plan ahead in order TO be
Poultry keeping is no exception, writes
an authority. If you do not have the
breeding birds you need for the seas
on of 1913, now is q good time to get
them. There is a countrywide scare

and one must expect to pay somewhat
higher prices than in past years. 1t
will not pay to get inferior birds in or
der to save a little of the purchase
price.
If you are just starting, or if you
want new blood, you can buy either
stock or eggs for Matching. Men are
more likely to buy stock because they
do not usually handle eggs so care
fully as women and also because usu-
ally they have more money to spend.
course, and on the whole is better, but
1t costs more money. For both stock
and eggs prices are high and will con-
tinue so. One cannot expect to buy
eggs for Matching in 1918 in quantities,
at So per hundred Such low prices
are now absurd for eggs from stock Of
any decent quality at all.
Most poultry breeders, except those
who have a large number of birds of
superior quality, are compelled to re-
pleniSh their flock with new blood al
most every year. Our flocks either
90 up or 90 down. Just because prices
are higher than normal we must be
careful to get good quality in what
we buy. This is time when poor
stuff will not pay. There never was
a time when it was so true that "the
best Is none too good" 1t does not
pay TO keep inferior fowls now.

Gowns Suitable for All Occasions
and All Ages.
May Be Relieved by Use of coIored
Lining and Touches of Jet
and Metallic Lace.

With the spring season almost upon
US, nearly every woman will have need
of a smart new evening gown. Some
thing simple and dignified is looked for
in these days of economy, says a
fashion authority, and women gladly
pass up the frivolous frocks of more
prosperous days. Black is tremendous
ly popular for evening wear. but it is
usually frightened by quantities Of
fine jet or metallic lace.
One Of the lovelieSt black evening
gowns is made of black tulle over soft
satin. If you have a black satin or
charmeuse afternoon frock, the waist
of which is worn, you can use that to
great advantage. If the skirt is rather
narrow, use 1t as the foundation.
First make a plain drop skirt of
black net over the satin, reaching down
TO the hem. A narrow band of jet
sewed to the net will give it weight
and make it hang well. A tunic with
four points, also bordered with jet,
goes over the net skirt and falls a
little longer than usual.
This tunic can be deliberately en-
broidered in jet beads, or you can buy
black net that is already embroidered.
However, it is not difficult to do one
self, and if white tissue paper is held
under the net, it will not be so hard
on the eyes. Later, carefully rip the
paper away.
The bodice of the gown should be
extremely simple. Make plain dart
fitted foundation of black satin and
drape the net over it in soft folds
Shoulder straps of jet hold the bodice
while two loops of jet slip over the
arm. Or you can make a bodice of
net with long sleeves flaring at the
wrist. A jet band is the only trim.

colors. A rich red poinsettia would be

COVERING THE HAT FRAME
Sure Way Of Getting Headgear That
Fits and Is Becoming-How to
Economic on Millinery.

It is difficult matter usually TO COW
er a hat frame so that it looks well.
However you can do this if you go
about it in the right way. If you have
an old hat made on q buckram frame
that is becoming the best thing is to
recover that. Then you are sure Of
q hat that fits and is becoming. You
can cover the brim by making q bias
band slightly more than twice as wide
as the brim, joining il in a circle, fold
ing it lengthwise through the center,
slipping it over the brim with the
raw edges toward the crown-one on
a line with the lining and the other
on the edge of the outside crown
and gathering the fullness along both
edges neatly into place.
The lining, which always goes in
after all trimming has been placed,
covers one of these gathered edges.
Now cover the crown letting the raw
edge Of the crown piece meet the raw
edge of the brim covering. over this
Joining place a neat band of straw
braid. Where the two ends of the
braid meet you can arrange the flower
trimming. Sometimes you can wind
several lengtN of straw braid around
the lower part of the crown to make
q band three or four inches wide.

No Established WheatIess
Days, but Pound and Half
Should Be the Very Limit

The UNITED States food administra-
ton has made wheatless days and
wheatless meals optional in private
homes. But that does not mean the
lid has been taken off. 1t only means
that the question of which day or meal
shall be wheatless is left TO the indi-
vidual household.
Ir. other words. the food administra-
ton has made the reduction Of wheat
consumption a test of good citizen
ship. Each citizen in the land is
asked. as a good American, TO cut his
individual wheat consumption TO q
pound and q half week. That means
to cut the ordinary, peace-time con-
sumption in two. 1t doesn't matter on
what day or what meals that is done,
Just so 1t is done. III that regard the
food administration says:
"In making optional the observance
Of wheatless days in private homes
the food administration lifted no re-
strictions upon the consumption of
wheat products. 1t is merely asking
the American people TO reduce their
per capita consumption to not more
than IL pounds per week.
'This is an absolute military neces-
sity. The method of saving is being
left entirely to the individual. If it
can be done without foregoing the use
of wheat at any specified meal or on
any day, the food administrations ur-
gent plea for further conservation will
be carried out to the letter."

Short PepIum Pleases.

The short, wired peplum is again
sponsored by Lucille. An exquisite eve
ming gown presented at the opening
was made of silver cloth, pink pearls
and sequins and pale pink tulle. The
tulle was wired into an extremely short
peplum, below which hung the draping
of pearls and seQuins. Delicate shades
of green, mauve and orchid satin were
combined in the bodice, and at the
waistline there was a tiny bunch of
handmade ribbon flowers. the edges of
which were hemstitched and pecoed

Why They Are Called Tumblers.

About 800 years ago the Saxons in
England used drinking vessels that
were made of horns of cattle or oxen.
They were shaped like cones. AS their
bottoms were pointed they would not
stand erect. When a man had his drink
ing horn filled he disposed of its con-
tents at single draught and did not
lay ii down until he had drained ii.
These horns were tumblers In the sense
that they would not stand upright. AL
though our modern glasses do not have
this Objectionable quality, the name
that originated in early Saxon times
still persists.
