From about her seventh year until

Where the line lies that marks the
division between morning house
dresses and all-over aprons, 1t Is a
hard matter TO determine. They are
often very much alike. In house
dresses, however, much greater va

also greater variety of design. The
prettiest ones are made of printed
voiles in stripes, plaids, checks and
plain patterns, usually finished with
collars and cuffs of organdie, dotted

Do This After You Eat
Hot Weather "Out of Fix" Stomachs
Easily Put Right

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. Winter-Nature's ice
box, is gone-hot weather breeds
the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all its many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloated, :'lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach, heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
hotweather. Il is the time when you
have to guard constantly against an
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt to follow. Then again
I'VE have the worlds war to win

work which means we must all care

times-or any other times, for that
matter.
Any substantial cotton or reliable
wool fabric may be- made up like
the frock pictured of plain goods. The
bodice has the effect of short jacket
which buttons under fly at the front,
and the plain skirt-with fiat saddle
bag pockets applied-is gathered on
to II. The sleeves are three-quarters
length and the dress Is worn over
lawn or batiste blouse with small
turnover collar. The decoration Is the
simplest sort of needlework trimming
merely silk floss In outline stitch
forming squares that border all edges
in the bodice and on the pockets.
Plaid and plain Bingham or plaid
and plain serge will serve equally well
for the other dresses. In this model the
skirt is plated and set on to plain
body. There are two narrow belts of
the plaid goods, the lower one ter
minating under a narrow box plat In
the front of the skirt and the upper
one fastening with plain button.
The white pique collar and cuffs are
separate. Like the under blouse in
the other dress, they are the means
of freshening up the frock and teach
ing the little ones the invaluable les
son of daintiness in appearance.

OBJECTS SOUGHT IN PRUNING
Mistakes in Forming Head or Result 3
Of Neglect in Early Years Are
Irreparable.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The principal objects sought in prun-
Ing may be summarized as follows
1. To modify the vigor of the tree.
2. To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds.
3. To make the tree more stocky.
4. TO open the tree top to admit air
and sunshine.
s. To reduce the struggle for ex-
istence In the tree top.
6. To remove dead or interfering
branches.
z. To renew the vigor of the tree.
8. TO aid in stimulating the devel-
opment of fruit buds.
8. To secure good distribution of
fruit buds throughout the tree.
10. To thin the fruit.
II. To induce uniformity in the
ripening of the fruit.
II. To make thorough spraying pos
sible.
13. To facilitate the harvesting of
the fruit.
The pruning which a tree receives
during the first two or three years
after it is planted has much to do with
Its future. Mistakes in forming the
head or the results Of neglect during
the early years in the life of tree
are practically irreparable. On the
other hand, If the tree is well formed
and properly pruned during its first
years, the foundation Of good tree
Is established; subsequent errors in
pruning If they occur, may admit Of
correction without permanent harm
to the tree.
In general, the proper time to prune
peach trees is during the dormant pc
Rod, preferably in late winter or early
spring. just before growth starts, ex-
cept in regions where bleeding from
wounds is likely to occur. In such re-
gions 1t should probably be done in
early winter. But conditions and the
| object Of the pruning must be consid-
cred in each case. If the pruning OPP
erations are very extensive, 1t may
be necessary to prune throughout the
winter whenever the weather Is suit
| able for men to work in the orchard.
If the fruit buds are endangered dur
ing the winter by adverse tempera-
lures, 1t may be advisable to delay
pruning as much as economic condi-
tons permit until settled spring
weather arrives. This is especially
advisable If heavy heading In Of the
previous seasons growth is involved,
since the proportion of live buds may
determine the extent to which the
cutting back should be carried.
A limited amount of summer prun-
ing can usually be done to advantage.
The trees should be observed constant

or other heavy cottons are requisi-
toned for collars, cuffs and pipings.
They are all easy enough to put on
and they are neat and attractive. The
model shown I'm the picture is good
example which will serve either as a
morning dress or an all-over apron.
There has been promising new de-
parture recently in cotton dresses for
morning wear. Ii is likely to be car
ried, by the high tide of the calico
vogue, to great success. New one

signed i'm smart coat, or sweater coat,
