So long as they must ecOnOmize In
SOol, designers appear to have made
up their minds to do it gracefully.
When they accomplish such cOmbi-
nation as appears In the coat for
spring, shown above, we are inclined
to be thankful for the necessity that
mothers such lovely invention. Rich
satin and peach-skin velour vie with
each other in it and the satin in a
heavy soft quality cannot Outclass the
velour. The velour in fact Is used as
II for decorating the coat, but Is an i'm
portant part of the garment in which
the two materials pre nicely balanced.
The body of the coat is made of the
satin and Is cut full. The lower part
Is Of the velour set on in Il very wide
band machine stitched along the top.
A shirred cape collar of satin ut the
back has its length doubled by wide
band of the velour. The cuffs are
made Of ii and the belt is bOrdered with
1t also.
The belt is wide but the softneSs of
the satin allows 1t to crush so that it
slips through slides Of satin at the
sides Of the coat, ties at the front and

and looks as If ii had been candied and
ribbons are given an extra coat of pol
iSh.
In such season fOulard and satins
for dresses follow rs the night the day.
They are here in all their brightness
and interesting variety Of patterns.
Figured foulards make the most SIM
pie designs In dresses appear less sim
pie than they are.
The polka dot has returned along
with foulardS. 1t invites our atten-
ton i'm the dress shown at the left OF
the picture above, where white polka
dots, in groups of three, spangle Il sur
face of flng blue. This youthful model
has Il vCStee of white wash satin at the
front of the bodice and cascade OF
short hounceS at the back of the skirt.
There Is II girdle of the silk about the

sign accords with the new departure
In the combination Of silk and wool by
presenting equally new features in its
style.
Velour is made In lightweights that
make this beautiful fabric practical
for. spring and summer coats.
A fashion authority who is keen
and experienced buyer says that
women are demanding sheen in their
apparel this spring. From top to toe,
from hat to shoes, the call is for lus-
trous surfaces on which the light plays
and dances. All the displays bear out
his assertion. In millinery, besides
the CLEAN Of ribbons and satins, there
are all sorts Of glazed fruits and flow
ers, lacquered wings and quilts, var
nished straws and ribbons. Even the

ture a much more liberal use of mate
rial is required to carry out the ideas
Of the designer. A tunic, with very
full drapery, is ornamented with hand
embroidery in a design that includes
outlines Of flowers, foliage and birds.

sleeves of george,,e crepe finished with
a narrow band Of metallic ribbon at
the front and at the edge Of narrow

requirements Of any occasion in these

HOW THEY USED TO
SAVE WHEAT IN THE
GOOD OLD DAYS"

Old Edingurgh town had its plan
for saving wheat away back in
1881. A patriotic food saver in
the United States has just sent to
the United States food administra-
ton a quaint old manual printed in
Edinburgh 81 years ago, entitled "The
Repository Arts and Sciences, or Cab.
met of Useful knowledge" On page
2O3 of this delightful compendium Of
wisdom Is given a New Method Of
Making Flour Without Grain" The
method is as follows:
Take turnips. potatoes. parsnips,
and white beet and grind or CRATE
them fine: then put the substance
into water and let il remain therein
several hours; then strain off the wa
ter, and add fresh water in quantity
sufficient to cover the substance. Con
tinue to repeat this process, until the
water pours off quite clear. Then
| strain and press the water from the
vegetable substance, which is to be
| dried on a kiln. or other proper con
vcnicncc. When the substance IS
quite dry, grind it in a corn or other
proper mill until II becomes fine
flour. Either Of the above vegetables
alone. or any two or more OF them
mixed together and prepared as spec
flied. will answer for the purpose
The foregoing description is for max
ing coarse or common flour; when the
best or fine flour IS to be made. pare
or peel the rind off the vegetables
before they are ground or grated
Then pursue the same process as will
the coarse or common flour Thu
writer has been informed that a mil
for this purpose has been established
near New Ross, in the county Of WcX
ford. which has been productive o
much profit to the proprietor. POta
toes produce q flour as fair and white
as wheat"

a station on the road TO McDermitt

again struck by the rush OF water
