after at the opportune time.
THE patches Of sow thistle can
be detected easily in the field just at
this time. A patch Of yellow bios
somed plants sticking their heads
above the grain should be examined
for in most cases they will prove to
be SOW thistles. The blossom looks
like a dandelion blossom and for this
reason the plant is easy to identify.
Sow ~thistles spreads very rapid

Of the plants either by some process
Of digging or by smothering SO they

Little Miss Burns came in yesterday

very small, and While plaid is an ex-
cellent fabric for her-giving her both
breadth and height-nevertheless by in
Producing two patterns of fabric in the
one suit it rather breaks the figure at
the waistline. This would make her look
shorter than ever. besides giving a
rather awkward line to waist and hips
because of the excess fitness the con-
trast would suggest.
The secret of the well-ftting plaid suit
combined with a plain color lies in
adapting the lines of the coat to the
pattern of the skirt. The plaid figure
tends to broaden the skirt; therefore,
the coat should be of tight-f1tting sup
pressed lines This tones down the bill
lowing, broads effect of the skirt, and
gives a smart trimness to the figure
The accompanying illustration shows
how this effect may be obtained. The
skirt is a wide-patterned. green plaid.
Although it is scant and narrow. never
theless. the pattern makes it look ex-
ceedingly full about the figure. It opens
at the left and fastens with dull gold
buttons.
Note that the skirt is cut on the cross
