SIMPLICITY in NEW MODES
Smart Frock of Today Need Not Be as
Costly as That of a Season When
Elaborate Trimming Was Used.

There's no denying that the narrow
underskirt with long tuniS of some
kind is more generally becoming than
the full flaring skirt ever was; and it
is largely owing to this fact that wOm-
en- are, on the whole, looking rather
better dressed than usual. The modish-
ness of dark and quiet cOlors contrib
utes to this happy result and the abb
sence of fussy trimming Is still an
other factor.
The clothes of this season are, even
at their costliest, likely to be In ac-
cordance with the unwritten laws of
good taste and many a woman who
hasn't sufficient good taste of her own
to like elegant simplicity, will submit
to it If it is the mode, says a fashion
writer in the New York Sun.
OF course, one can put great deal
of money into the quality of materials,
but, despite the high prices of materi-
ais the smart frock today need not be
so costly as the frock of a season
when elaborate trimming that called
for the time and effort of skilled la
Dor was the keynote of fashion. Civ
en- attractive material and the ability
to cut and drape 1t according to the
prevailing mode-one should be able
to achieve a successful frock for a
very reasonable sum.

FRESH AND ROTTED MANURE

There seems to be q difference of
opinion as to the value and use of
fresh and well rOtted manure. Almost
all authors on gardening recommend
the use of ''well-rotted" manure for all
plants.
That well rotted manure is the
safest and best for immediate results
in general farm and garden practice,
is admitted.
But large quantities of this fer
tilizer is difficult to secure at all times.
Besides, manure which has rotted in
heaps, unless properly handled, has
lost a large share of its best fertiliz-
ing properties. The greatest objec-
ton to the use of fresh manure for
immediate plant growth is that it
burns the crop unless the growing sea-
son is very wet.
This, too, it will be admitted, is the
usual case; yet the bad effects from
the use of fresh manure arise from i'm
proper methods of applying the ma
nure and the working of the soil after
the application.
Fresh manure may or may not heat
in the soil and injure plants, accord
ing to the way it is worked into the
soil. Fresh manure, of course, under
goes decomposition and produces heat
in the process; and the more of it
there is in one place, the more heat
there will be given off.
Then to overcome the bad effects
of the heat to the growing plants fresh
manure should be well scattered and
well mixed with the soil so that no
large amount will remain in any one
| place.
The soil should be deeply narrowed
and disked, or both, so that all the
manure is thoroughly incorporated
with the soil particles, leaving a uni
| form mixture. Then the decomposi-
ton will be slow, hence a less amount
of heat evolved.
This thorough working or mixing of
the soil will also prove beneficial in
many other ways, as every farmer and
gardener knows.
The soil, in good working condition
for any crop of plants cannot well be
worked and mixed too much. This is
especially true when manure of any
| kind is used.
Fresh manure is strong, and its

siIverlnu Mirrors,

This is by no means an easy busi-
ness, but if you want to try it, the fol-
lowing method may be used: Place
the mirror face downward on a table
and clean off the part to be silvered
by rubbing it with a pledget of clean
cotton. Now spread over the spot a
piece of tinfoil, little larger than the
part to be repaired and, after spread
ing it out carefully and smoothly, let
drop on the center of it a drop of me-
talic mercury, and with a piece OF
chamois rub the foil until it becomes
brilliant. Now place over the new
2malgam a sheet of smooth writing pa
per, and pile books, or weights of any
kind upon it, and leave over night. The
amount Of mercury to be used should
correspond as nearly as possible to
three drachms to the square foot OF
surface.
While the above reads "easy," the
job itself is one which requires con
siderable practice to do neatly.

Surplice, Shawl and Tuxedo Shapes

Has Not Been Discarded.

bit of color is liked in the neck
wear as well as in the new handlzer-
chiefs. Indeed, it may be said that
several of the mouchoirs can easily

The neckwear sometimes comes in

the edging is done in colored net fine.
ly plated. Frequently there is no
other ornamentation. The surplice,
shawl and Tuxedo shapes are prime
favorites, although they have not made
the sailor type passe by any means.
The latter is liked for young girls
and for children and frequently it is
used to impart a note of youth to
frocks of silk or satin.
Because it has been found more and
more difficult to get fine embroideries
the prospects are very promising for
vogue of lace Of the better sort. For
many years lace has been less fash
ionable than embroidery, particularly
in neckwear development.
Therefore, there is more good lace
to be had and some of it will now
be used up for the adornment of
smart dresses and blouses. This lace
use has reference to varieties other
than filet and venice, which have been
popular for some time.

VEST IS FEATURE

There are, of course, a number Of de-
signs in Georgette, crepe de chine and
chiffon.
On the whole, less lace and button
trimming is being used on the blouses
this season than last; hand embroidery
is largely supplanting these. Hand
tucking is being extensively featured
this fall with very good effect, espe-
cially on fine white linen bIouses de-
signed for wear under a suit.
The more elaborate models show a
marked tendency toward the new col
larless style. In some instances the
| absence of the collar is covered by
the introduction of hemstitched yoke,
in others there is a small collar hung
from the shoulder seams.
Some of the more extreme styles
show sleeves of the full bishop vari-
ETY., which are gathered in to a very
tight cuff at the wrist. Sports blouses
have rather tight sleeves, with deep
cuffs reaching almost to the elbow in
some cases. Speaking of sports blOuses

WINTER THOUGHTS OF THE
GARDEN

Making your plans for next years
garden? Well, plan for beauty, then
work for the plan.
Let your light shine in the back yard
that there shall be nothing hidden.
Have grass and shrubbery in the
back yard rather than rubbish.
Some of the prettiest things in the
way of plants, vines and shrubs should
be in sight of the kitchen window.
Hardy analeas are among the most
brilliant, hardy shrubs.
All the spireas, herbaceous or shrub,
are beautiful and hardy.
Let your kitchen window be a pic
ture frame. Let the picture framed be
green things growing.
Let the green things be something
beside burdock, gimpson weeds and
cookie burrs.
Plan to. screen the ugly views from
the back door. Vines will do it.
Get a root of the trumpet-creeper
from the woods, and plant it in the
back yard.
Get a strong stake beside it, and
keep the vine cut back until the shrub
habit is formed. It is beautiful.
The trumpet-creeper will not spread
unless you cut its roots. When you
| do you won't have to import any more

Eat Fruit to Save Flour.

The people of the United States
have bananas, apples and a dozen per-
ishable foods that are denied our SOL
diers and the soldiers of our allies In
France. If one person will do without
biscuit day by eating the eQuiva-
lent in fruit or perishable vegetables,
in one year the wheat in 365 biscuits
will have been saved for shipment to
Europe. And the fruit and vegetable
eater will be happier and healthier for
the practice. Surely that is worth the
doing. Instructions from the govern
ment tell exactly what is to be con-
served. When those instructions are
not observed the consumer is helping

The long shoulder is a feature of
this frock, and, as will be noted, the
sleeves are long and close-fitting.
The little one-piece slipover frocks
have won what seems to be a perman-

mime fancy, and their popularity is GER
tainly merited.
This frOck might be attractively de-
veloped in velveteen in any preferred
dark shade, with trimming of white or
light-color satin or faille silk.
A dress of this type may be made by
the home dressmaker without much
difficulty; but one point that must be
borne in mind is that excellent work
manship must be embodied in the de-
velopment of these very simple gar
ments, If the desired smartness is to be
realized.

NOTES ON DRESS.

The square decolletage is featured
on many of the new evening frooks
and in many afternoon gowns the deep
V line is filed in with little square
tucker of muslin or white satin.
Checked velvets are much in vogue
for smart suits and the results OBJ
tanned with them are most gratifying.
A rather small check made up with
diagonal lines gives an interesting eff

Many of the effects in new frocks
are one-sided. Especially is the one
sided tunic much featured in serge and
satin combination frocks.
A French model in black satin shows
jaunty bows of this material at the
turned-back cuffs that terminate the
elbow-length sleeves.
Two yards seems to be the favorite
width decreed by the masters and max
ers of fashion for winter skirts.

Must Have the Bronze.

A second requisition of church bells
has taken place in Austria to the Sor-
row of the Catholic population of that
country, according to advices received.
The government came to the conclu-
sion that further requisitioning was
necessary, with the result that the
church has had to sacrifice many more
of its familiar and cherished bells to
the never-satisfied Moloch Of war.
The idea of substituting steel bells
for bronze has not yet eventuated, ow-
ing to the onerOus conditions stipulat-
ed by bell manufacturers, who de-
manded, among other things, that the
price should be paid in foodstuffs for
the Workmen in the factories.

strength consists of valuable COM
pounds for plant growth that have not
been dissipated through decomposi-
ton.
In the soil, these plant foods are alb
sorbed and held for plant growth; out
of the soil, most of them are carried
away by the air and wasted.
The litter in ordinary stable mature
has absorbed much liquid product, and
this litter well mixed with the soil
will give up these fertilizing COM
pounds, and the litter itself will en-
hance the chemical and physical con-
dition of the soil.
The improving of the physical con-
dition of the soil is of as much value
as adding chemical fertilizers, for soil
in q good physical state gives up its
plant food readily and makes a COM
| Portable home for the roots and plants.
1t is held by many that fresh ma
nure, of any kind or quality in the soil
during a dry season is a detriment.
We have not found by repeated expert
ments that this is true.
For several seasons we have ap
piled fresh manure to the surface soil
of the garden crops and corn till late
in the summer, working the manure
into the surface soil with each cult
vation.
With corn the manure wagon was
driven down rows in the same manner
as the two-horse cultivator goes, and
the manure applied heavily between
rows.
The good effects were apparent aft
er each rain when the soluble portions
were carried into the soil and taken up
by the roots of the growing crop.
When this manure was cultivated
into and with the surface soil it acted
as mulch, increasing the moisture
holding capacity of the soil; and dur.
ing very wet periods it retarded wash
ing, decompOsed rapidly without detri-
mental heating results, and promoted
rapid plant growth.
We should use all the well rotteG
manure that can be secured for the
garden, but the garden should not be
without manure when only fresh is
available. Of course when fresh ma
nure is used on the garden or trucl
patch the cultivation should be done
: with horse tools so that the soil may
be worked and mixed deeply to thor
oughly incorporate all fertilizers il
the soil.

instead of being belted to the mill
at its base, as is usually the practice,
The main need seems to be a mill
that requires lower wind velocity to
start than those now available, since
the latter are idle for long periods at
