ONE-PIECE FROCK
Garment Is Fastened in dag
onaI Line Across Bodice.
DifS>rs Entirely From the Medieval
Silhouette; Skirt is Long and
Is Draped Upward.

The struggle between the long and
the short skirt having been settled in
favor of the former, which is the
American fashion, the new struggle,
asserts a. correspondent, is between the
medieval chemise frock and the tight,
draped one.
Every house shows both designs,
and if women have sufficient purchase
money to get more than the one nee
essary costume, they can buy both
styles and see which is more suitable
to their figure.
Despite the preponderance of the
medieval frock, the shadow of COM
ing event falls athwart 1t. There is
something significant in the new gown,
which again was designed in Amer
lea. 1t differs entirely from the
medieval silhouette, and the skirt is
long, it is draped upward, it hobbies
the ankles, and it has slim bodice
that would be q basque If it showed
any disposition to recognize the waist
line.
There is a feeling among those who
sense things without being able to
argue them out in logical sequence
that the medieval frock is about to be

GULL THE FLOCK

At no time has it been more impor-
tant to Gull the flock carefully than
now. A good hen is returning to its
owner good profit; poor one, cor
responding greater loss. With the gen.
eral purpose breeds the pullet year is
the most profitable. In fact, it will
take two pounds more feed to produce
a pound of eggs with hens than it will
with pullets. No farmer can afford to
keep any hen of the general purpose
type after she has passed through the
second laying season. All females
which have passed the first year of
laying should be marketed unless they
are to be kept for next years breed
ers. If the farmer cannot tell the age
of his hens. he can avoid future guess
work by putting a ring on the legs of
the pullets.
Some features that will help the
farmer distinguish hens that have
been good egg producers have been
noted by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. In October
the poor layers will have yellow
shanks, a small dull comb, pin bones
close together, and viii have COM
pleted melting. The good layer will
be in the mott, will have pale or al
most pink shanks, will be ragged In
appearance and, If laying, the pin
bones will be well spread apart. The
good layer even though in the molt,
win start laying just as soon as the
early molter. The good layer will
have soft velvety skin while that Of
the poor layer viii be thick and
coarse.
1t viii pay to Gull the flock if the
culling is done right.

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising
mining, timber. The county includes
large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of &C
cess. The mining industry is yet in
it's infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed.
No irrigation in this district. Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.

One Of Several Theories as
To Origin of Wedding Ring

Among several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring is one
which is to the effect that before the
time of minis and coinage the gold
money in Egypt was made in the form
of ring, usually worn on the finger
as a convenient method of carrying
and safe-keeping. The men and wom-
en-. therefore, had all their gold or
wealth made into rings, and for the
majority of people these rings were
no larger than the plain gold bands of
today. Thus, when the groom placed
the ring on the brides finger, he meant
exactly what the modern service
makes him say-he did exactly endow
his bride with all his worldly goods.

SASH A POPULAR ACCESSORY
Decoration as Now Worn Adds Mate
rally to the Attractivcness and
Promises to Remain.

The sash of 1888 is a more so.
phisticated and alluring accessory
than its predecessor of a decade or
sc ago, and it is adjusted to suit the
fancy of the wearer or the artistic
conception of the designer. Sometimes
the bow is directly in the back, big
and broad, like the obi of the maid of
Old Japan. Again the loops viii be
placed at the right or the left side,
perky, jauDty arrangement of silk or
satin, sometimes with one instead of
two long ends and fringe edged. Then
there is the broad girdle, usually Of
the material, deftly Unanswered with
ends terminating in tassels.
However it is introduced, the sash
is distinctive feature of the autumn
frock. Even the tailored serge, fash
toned severely, with high collar and
long, tight sleeves, boasts a sash these
days, at least one chic model does, the
sash being of the material and termi-
mating in q wide bow at the normal
waistline in the back. Another use
for the material sash is on the velvet
frock, one. example being an old rose
velvet gown worn by young girl in
one of the new plays. II is delight
fully simple gown, one-piece, medium
width skirt and wide girdle and broad
bow of the velvet. A narrow band of
kolinsky outlines the round neck and
edges the modified kimono sleeves.
The sash, on the order of the sweat
er accessory, of medium width and
finished with balls and tassels of silk,
is still in vogue and it is particularly
adapted to the trim little gown of tri-
colette or the equally supple wool
scrim.

PUTS FULLNESS AT THE SIDES
New Trick Broadens the Flat Out
line Presented From the Front
or the Back.

The idea of pulling back the fronts
of a redingote or jacket, in order to
show q wide expanse of gown beneath,
Is not a mere idle trick that is con-
fined TO one garment, notes a fashion
writer. 1t is part of a widespread
movement. 1t establishes certain
silhouette. 1t is n dominant note in
what Paris has done for the American
trade for three months. 1t is a bit
new to us; but it is wise to look into
it well and consider it seriously, be-
cause. after all, the silhouette is more
important than the choice of material
or color. If you get your lines right
you can take a great deal of liberty
elsewhere i'm your costume.
This new trick is a definite attempt
to put fullness at the sides of the fig
ure and therefore broaden the fiat out
line that is presented from the front or
back. Short Jackets are pushed back
to give fullness under the arms; long
ones are pushed back to give fullness
from shoulder to-knees and new frocks
are specially designed with this silhou-
cite in mind.
There is a smart new blue serge
from Paris that has all its fullness ar
ranged from under the arms to the
hem of the skirt. This fullness is
made up from succession of plaits
that are held in over the hips by bands
of military braid that cross the middle
of the front and seem to broaden the
outline by several inches.
There is no effort to widen the hem
of the skirt by means of its fullness
1t is securely pressed or stitched In
place, for as skirts grow longer they
grow narrower.

The collar is of satin, the belt of

superseded There is no sign of this
in the Paris exhibitions. but here and

clothes be more fitted to the figure,
even when they are cut in one straight
line. We grow simmer. as Mr.. Hoover
asks us to pull in our belts tighter.
We appear to be attenuated, even
though we may be well nourished. We
do not propose to hide this slimness
under a bushel of material, and it may
be that history win repeat itself from
the days of the directoire, when 1t
was smart and patriotic to appear cut
to the bone.

things to come.
One thing is quite true: The care
less, bunglesome line which was
brought about through the fashion for
the chemise frock will be eliminated
this season. The medievals cut their
cloth to the lines of their figures, and
there is almost a disposition toward
the old princess lines in certain of the
frocks made by great houses.
The French gowns show straighter
line than do the American ones, but
they are not bunglesome at the waist
because they are made of thin material
which clings to the figure; or, in such
materials as velvet, velours and serge.
there is a clever and complex adjust
ment of panels under the arms that
Eolds in whatever fulIness would be
awkward.

While winter winds shall blow.

Yet stars shall rise at last

AUTUMN MODES

Millinery colorings are dull and one
tone effects are favored.
Organdie and brushed wool form
one of the oldest combinations.
Embroidering is much used, espe-
cially in geometrical designs.
Very little jewelry should be worn,
but pearls are still permissible.
1t is always better to buy one cloak
OF hat with really beautiful lines and
wear it for two or three seasons than
to purchase a cheap, ordinary one and
wear ii for just one.

the wrapping of package merchandise;
so do not protest when your dealer
asks you to carry home your cabbage,

and your unwrapped parcels in your
basket and trudge home cheerfully
with them. 1t is the fashion
Disdain the paper bag that you real
