This Is not only true of the stupendous
spectacle of war in It's most barbaric
form, asserts a prominent fashion crit

and happenings that flutter through
this imbroglio called life"
Observe fashions. The designers dip
their hands deep into the boiling pot
Of ancient lands, history and peoples,
and pull out of 1t demure or fantastic
things, which they dress up a bit and
give over to most modern people, who
accept them as new.
At present the designers are dipping
more deeply than ever. They seem to
be frantieally pulling out odds and
ends of flotsam and jetsam that must
serve to whet the appetltes Of those
who have money.

EASY TO MAKE YOUR GUlMPE
Garment Has Gained Useful Vogue
May Be Found in All Manner Of
Attractive Materials.

Guimpes have gained tremendous
~ useful vogue this spring, You know
what they are--little blouses to wear
underneath the coat suit, made with
sleeves that have well finished cuffs,
and with finished and sometimes elab-
crate collars and fronts. The rest of
the guimpe Is plain, for It never shows,
save when its wearer is putting II on.
For when one Of these guimpes Is worn
with coat the coat Is not removed
These guimpes may be bought in all
manner of attractive materials in the
shops. Perhaps those of dimity are
the daintiest. They are made in white,
with coIored collars and cuffs, and In
colors, too. And they are made in
other fabrics. Washable fabrics are by
far the most serviceable for summer.
1t is now possible to buy a paper
pattern for one of these gufmpes, and
so to make 1t yourself, II you wish to
do so. You can buy the frilliug by the
yard In net or organdie, more attrac-

and wool the body Of the coat-that
portion about the shoulder and sleeve
is of the silk, often extended below
the waist forming a long waist effect.
Collars-which are ample--are of the

who are looking for something new
might consider the silk jersey or wool
and jersey combinations.

formed by elaborate plants that it may
not be matter of common knowledge
that such equipment is not necessary.
MIX may be pasteurized at home with
the very simplest of paraphernalia.
Pasteurization consists merely In ex-
posing the milk to high temperature.
All the equipment necessary Is metal
pail, q pie pan with some holes
punched in the bottom, and a Their
mometer. The pail is filled to the
proper depth with water and the milk,
in the bottles in which it is delivered,
placed in 1t, the pie pan having been
placed at the bottom to allow free cir
culation of water under the bottles and
to prevent humping. A hole is punched
through the cap Of one Of the bottles
and the thermometer inserted.
The pail is then placed on the stove
or over gas burner and heated until
the thermometer in the milk shows
not less than 145 nor more than $50
degrees Fahrenheit. The bottles are
removed from the water and the one
with the punctured cap covered with
an inverted cup, The thermometer,
meanwhile, has been placed in the wa
ter in the pail and cold water added
until the temperature of the water Is
between las and $50 degrees. The bot
ties are then replaced in the water,
covered with towel and held thus for
from 20 to 80 minutes. The final proc
ess is to run cold water into the pail
until the milk is reduced to the tenn
perature of the tap water. The milk
is then pasteurized and should be i'm
mediately placed in the refrigerator,
preferably with ice packed around the
bottles. 1t must be remembered that
pasteurization does not destroy all
bacteria and that even pasteurized
milk must be kept constantly cold.
Where pasteurized milk cannot be pur-
chased and where conditions under
which the raw milk is produced are |
unknown, home pasteurization Is
recommended by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.

June weddings make q bright paren-
thesis in the grave story of war times.
Just as many lovely brides grace just
as many beautiful bridal professions
this June as in Junes gone by-and
the Joy they radiate is more than ever
welcome. No one expects the bride to
curtall any of her privileges on her
great day. 1t comes but once In life
time and she is entitled to make the
most of 1t. The pomp and circumstance
of war is not to be compared to it.
Society countenances the pretty ex-
travagances Of the wedding pageant
and styles play into the hands Of those
who plan them. Malines and georgette
crepe make the more than ever pic
turesque hats for bridesmaids. Some
of these have wells of mallnes extend
ed into scarfs that swathe the throat
and partly cover the face. Special
thought has been bestowed on the ma
iron of honor--the most dignified mil
linery featuring her position. In q
procession where there were two
flower girls, small soft hats of narrow,
val lace, trimmed with little rose buds
we're allowed them. In this company

No matter what else in the way of
wraps Is offered for midsummer, we
are always sure of the taffeta coat.
1t Is so practical and so pretty that
1t cannot be banished entirely-it
comes along as inevitably as the
Fourth of July or the bathing suit.
Here 1t is as interpreted for this sum-
mer in taffeta, with landings of vel
vet. 1t is as graceful and easy as the
popular cape and at least as little
trouble to manage.
In colors these silk coats are best
In dark shades-deep blue, brown and
green proving full of style. There is
always black, of course, depending
upon smartness Of the design to rescue
1t from being commonplace The lus-

KEEP BACTERIAL
COUNT VERY Low
Main Essentials Are Clean Cows,
Sterilized Vessels and Small
Top Pals.
TESTS ON ORDINARY FARMS
Result Of Experiments Indicate 1t Is
Possible for Average Dalryman
to Produce Milk of Very
Superior Quality.

The consumer of milk may some
times be inclined to feel that its purity
Is In direct proportion to the cost of
the plant and equipment from which
1t comes. The dairy division Of the
bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, has
demonstrated that this is not always
the fact. Clean milk, with low bac-
terial count, can be produced in ordi-
nary farm barns, provided a few basic
principles are adhered to in each
case.
How Tests Were Made.
In order to demonstrate the practi-
cal value of the three essential factors
in producing milk of low bacterial
count-sterilized utensils, clean cows
with clean udders and teats, and small
top palls-tests were made on six
ordinary farms with the voluntary CO.
operation of the dairymen. Five of
the farms sent milk and one sent
cream to an experimental creamery OPP
Grated by the department of agrlcul-
ture. The dairy barns were ordinary
farm barns, scoring on the dairy di-
vision score card less than the average
barns for equipment. The plan was to
determine first the bacterial content
of the fresh milk and cream on the
farm under the existing conditions;
then to place in operation the three
factors previously mentioned and note
the results.
For the work small-top pals were
lent to the farmers, together with sim
pie steam sterilizers. The method of
operating the sterilizer was demon
strated to the farmer, who was then
left to operate without further assist
ance. At each milking the milk was
stirred by means of long sterilized
pipette, after which samples were
taken from each can and composite
sample placed in ice water and tests
made within an hour and half. For
a period of three weeks samples were
taken from each farm under the old
conditions, and for the three weeks
following under conditions in which
small-top pals and sterillzed utensils
were used.
Decrease In Bacterial Count.
On all the farms the bacterial count
of the fresh milk showed very great
reduction following the installation of
the simple safety method mentioned.
The bacterial count Of the milk on sew
eral of the farms was reduced to 1900
per cubic centimeter. One of the most
striking reductions was on a farm
where the average count was reduced
from $4,000 to 5000.
The results of these experiments are
taken by the department of agricul-
ture to indicate that 1t is possible for
the average dairyman on the average
farm, without expensive barns and
to produce milk of very
low bacterial count. These factors,
when combined with other simple fac
tors relating to cleanliness In produc.
ing and handling, will result in clean,
wholesome milk with low bacterial
count.

1t Is interesting to note the different
effects materials have In the various
shades. Brilliant, clear colors are good
looking for dull materials. BY dull
material is meant one which does not
show up In the high lights. Reds and
bright blues look well, for instance, in
crepe o. homespun, and have a total
ly different effect when matched ex-
actly in the same shade of satin or

WHAT MAKES MILK SAFE

1t Is mighty nice to know that
you are drinking milk drawn
5 from blue-blooded cows by i'm
maculate milkmen in palatial
barns.
But, because such is not the
case, the milk is not necessarily
, inferior.
Though the COW be an or
binary grade animal of no par
ticular color or character, the
, barn ordinary and the milkman
clad in blue overalls and Jump :
err" the milk may be just as
: wholesome.
The United States department
of agriculture has shown that :
keeping the bacterial count of
milk low depends upon four
! things-clean cows, sterilized
utensils, small-top pals, tenn
perature never above so de-
grees Fair.
Therein lies one of the ways
of helping the meat and milk
supply"
The thing you are interested
in is that the milk you use be
pure and wholesome.
If you can satisfy yourself
that your dairyman observes
the few essentials of cleanliness,
you need not worry about the
pedigree of his cows, the archi- J
} lecture of his barn. or the eclat ,
of his mixers. ,
