Early Buying Is
Not Best Policy

some kind. Even If the world is re-
duced to whole garments Of sewn fig.
leaves, there Is no reason why any one
woman should wish herself out Of the
picture. Let her go along with the
momentum of the hour and buy and
wear garments Of fig leaves.
The public is beginning to see the
wisdom of buying small amount at
the moment it is needed. 1t should be
preached in every possible form of
propaganda that this is the wise way
to live during war time. Rest assured
that If the public buys up all the stock
Of one thing from a store, that store
will be replenished the moment its sup
ply is exhausted.
OF course, there are women who al
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have badly cut gown, made in a past
fashion, if they are sure that every
thread is silk or wool as the case may
be. But the majority of women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
TEN of dress.
Therefore, let us start out In new
measure of reform, as soon as this
month is over, and face September
with no idea of rushing into shops and
buying everything that is offered be-
cause it is labeled New" Maybe it Is,
and maybe it isn't. But a feeling of
panic among buyers that now is the
only chance to get enough clothes to
carry one through the winter, results
in the very thing that the government
desires most to see avoided-reckless
spending of money. So buy sbrewdiy,
and not for boarding.
If there is to be economy in clothes,
let it begin this week, 1t is at this
time, between the seasons, that won.
an can take thought of her wardrobe
and twist and turn it according to pre-
vailing fashion, in way that will serve
her until styles are more settled. Then,
when she has to buy much, she will
buy wisely and well.
Help in Remodeing Clothes.
Here are some prophecies that may
help you to be economical and wise.
One of them sounds like the first aid
to an injured wardrobe. 1t comes di'
rect from Paris. 1t Is that checks,
stripes and mosaic blocks are widely
worn in whole suits and parts of suits
Can you imagine any piece of news
more gratefully received than that
which gives woman chance to make
a new coat to an old skirt, or the
other way around2
There are colored stripes on white
background, made of heavy wooden ma
terial and built into a skirt to be worn
with any slip-on cuirass or short jack
ct of colored cloth or velvet.
Skirts are narrow. AS the govern
ment will allow shoes to be 8 inches
from the ground, the skirts need not
be heightened. For the present they
remain moderately short. What the
near future will bring out no. one can
say.

A Clothes Mandate.
Owing to the necessity for con-
serving materials and labor, and to
keep the ever-rising cost of garments
down TO a minimum, fashion authors
ties are not authorizing or recon-
mending radical changes for the au-
tumn. Therefore the silhouette will
be straight and youthful; colors will
be restricted to the smallest possible
number and for street wear will be
dark and rich In tone, with much fur
trimming, fringe and embroidery.

Vestee Is Smart.

Vestees may be made from any kind
of material, and can be either mere
strip of corded silk or a gorgeous Gre
alton fashioned from cloth-of-gold or
Chinese brocades. In some cases,
these vests are In reality sleeveless
tunics, which slip on over the head
and are to be worn with or without a
jacket. An especially handsome tu-
mic of this sort is one made from silk
crepe In Paisley design, Joined I'M
der the arms by narrow strips trim
med with buttons. Such garment is
essentially for country use. 1t is smart,
easily fashioned at home, and, In many
respects, practical.

One hears that very few capes are
smart unless they are touched up with
checked or plaid fabric. And capes,
you know, are as smart as jackets,
and will continue to be so through the
autumn. They are worn over separate
skirts and cuirass blouses, or short
Chinese tunics, and they have that
swagger military air that comes from
their careless arrangement across the
shoulders. All of the new ones have
some kind of waistcoat arrangement
which holds them closely over the bust
and waistline.

FOOD SUPPLY is
MUCH INCREASED
Spread of War Garden Movement
Is Reported From Every
Section Of Country.
ADDS MUCH TO POCkETBOOK
Examples of Progress of Home, Chill
dren's and Community Gardens In
dictate They Have Come to Stay
Some of the Advantages.

War gardens as q whole, including
home, children's and community gar
dens, are more numerous and far more
productive this year than last, accord
ing to the department of agriculture.
This is the consensus Of opinion of
those who have been working on the
garden problem, and is based on
specific reports of the departments
agents, and upon the observations Of
its specialists throughout the country.
While it is reported that seedsmen
sold less seed to home gardeners this
year than they did last, this does not
mean that there are less gardens or
smaller paintings. Amateurs learned
last year that they bought too much
seed. Some of this seed was un-
doubtedly kept over, and many gar
deners saved seed from last years
crop for planting this season. A few
gardeners going to work In 1917 with
more enthusiasm than experience de-
cided not to plant this year, but a
gardens last year made them this
season.
Estimates Not Reliable.
Estimates of the number of gardens
vary, and there are no figures other
than conjectures. Department garden
specialists say that an estimate of TO-.
100000 home gardens is conservative,
but admit that this figure represents
only good guess.
Specific examples show how the gar
den movement has grown. Before the
war, according to the garden leader of
the District of Columbia, there were
not more than 5000 gardens In the
federal district which contains the
capital Of the country. Now there are
$4,000, including school gardens. with
a marked increase in 1918 over 1917.
Chicago has $4,000 gardens, 10000
of which are home gardens. 10000 chill
dren's gardens and 238,000 community
gardens. Oklahoma City had more
than 1900 gardens last year.
Gardens on Farms.
1t must not be supposed, either. that
city man and suburbanite constituted
the only classes that needed admoni-
tion to start gardens, and the only
ones that needed the admonitlon. The
county agent of Oswego county, New
York, maintains that the majority Of
farmers in his county have not had
gardens and that much of the effort
toward more and better home gardens
should be expended on the farmer
rather than on the city man.
In the South last year more than
$4,000 new gardens we're started
through the efforts of farm demonstra-
ton agents, AMI this figure takes no

department of agriculture. OF even
greater significance has been the great
amount of gardening done through the
cooperation of industrial enterprises.
Many of the great lumber mills and
cotton mills of the South have en-
couraged their employees to have home
gardens even to the exteD1 of furnish
Ing the ground and the blowing, and
allowing time off with pay for the
planting, cultivation and harvesting
Of the crops. In Bib county, Ala
bama, mine companies furnished land,
seed and fertilizers. In Calhoun
county, the same state, home garden
ers co-operated with the military au-
thoritles at Camp Mcclellan, Admission,
in growing food for the camp mess.
The city Of Mobile has 1000 war gar
dens. On many railroads, particularly
in the South, the unused portion Of
the right of way has been given up to
gardens made productive by section
hands and construction gangs. There
has been a decided movement for fall
gardens and even for year-round gar
dens where there Is long growing
season and the fall food acre" of the
South has been a direct result of the
governments campaign for more home
food production.
Gardening Come to Stay.
These facts are significant as show
ing tendency, and are an index of
activities in every state Of the Union.
The most hopeful aspect of the gar
dening situation, according to the de-
partment officials who are willing to
venture an opinion, Is the unanimity
of their belief that the home and com
munity garden has come to stay, and
that those who have undertaken the
work as wartime measure will con-
tinue 1t after victory has been won.
Their opinion Is based, they say,
upon the advantages which garden
ers have found: cheaper vegetables,
better quality and greater freshness,
zest and healthfulness In gardening as
recreative occupation, and the growth
of community spirit and action
through a common ground of interest.
