Style OF Trimming IL Smart and servet
IN Various Capacities to Add
Beauty to Garments.

No manner Of trimming is smarter
than quilting this season, and beautiful
quilting is quite as difficult to do as
beautiful embroidery. The stitches
must be tiny and perfectly even, and
the lines of the pattern must be per-
fectly spaced, SO that the design will
show up effectively.
A very handsome frock of midnight
blue taffeta, seen the other day, had
a tunic bordered with s inches of quilt
ing, and the pattern was repeated on
the sleeves and on panels at back and
front Of the bodice.
To make quilting Of this sort the ma
terial is underlaid with thin sheet
wadding, and the quilting stitches are
set through the outer material and
wadding. Then the quilted portion is
faced with thin silk or with the mate
rial of the frock, if it is not too heavy.
Quilted angora is especially smart just
now. Vests Of quilted angora show in
the open fronts Of new cape coats, and
there are waistcoats of quilted angora
for wear with street suits.
Such a waistcoat accompanies q
taupe cheviot suit, the waistcoat being
in lighter taupe shade, and the quilting
is done with still lighter taupe silk.
A blue cloth cape is lined with scarlet
satin and has a blue angora vestee
quilted deliberately with red silk.

SHOPPING BAGS AND BASKETS
Spacious carry-AIIs Serve for Various
Purposes, but Not Satisfactory
for Going to Market.

Now that most Of us carry more
packages than we ever did before, we
are learning to S bags for shopping.
Of course, in some places there are
city ordinances against carrying knit
ting bags into the shops. A good deal
OF shoplifting has been carried on I'M
der the protection Of these c%apacious
carry-alls. But, nevertheless, we find
the big knitting bags a great conven-
fence for the slowing of small parcels.
When we go marketing most of us pre-
fer a basket, and the shops show stout
baskets, with handles by means Of
which they may be hung over the arm ;
and these are better for carrying spin
ach and peaches in them than is a knit
ling bag. They come in all sorts Of
prices. OF course, you can get q bas-
ket of suitable size for going market
Ing for SIS, but you can also get one for
81 or so. 1t pays to get one that is
stout and serviceable, with jointed han.
dies, If possible-that is, handles that
swing back and forth.

GET RETURNS FROM POULTRY
On Many Farms Products From Fowls
Can Be Counted N as Practically
Clear Profit. =
prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF A%griculture,)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The farmer who raises the ordinary
grains and keeps some live stock has
perhaps the greatest opportunity that
has ever come to him for making
profit from poultry. The possibilities
for profit are perhaps not SO large as
they used to be for the special poultry
farmer, and that fact may have led
some general farmers to believe that
the situation applies, in some way to
them; but there exists just here IN
unusual paradox. The very conditions
that may make poultry and egg pro-
duction a losing enterprise on the spe-
cialized poultry farm tend to make it
an increasingly, gainful one for the
general farmer. Where nearly all
Of his feed has to be bought at high
prices, the margin between cost of pro.
ductidh and proceeds from sale be-
comes extremely narrow, but where
practically all of the poultry feed is
made up of waste materials that would
otherwise not be utilized in any man
ner, the percentage of profit becomes
very much larger when prices are
high than 1t ever could have been
when prices were low. Poultry on
the farm obtain a very great part Of
their feed by fordging, by cleaning the
waste from stable yards and feeding
lots, by consuming the scraps from the
kitchen door, by preying upon insect
pests in pasture and field, and in
only a relatively small degree from
grain or other commodities that would
be marketable. A farmer whose poul.
try is fed in this way may count
all Of the money received for eggs
and surplus poultry as practically
clear profit. When, therefore, eggs
and poultry are selling at higher prices
than have usually been o%btainable, the
farmers margin Of profit without ex-
penditure is very greatly increased.
It Is, therefore, to the farmers Of
the country that the nation must look
for the greater part Of the immedi-
ate increase Of poultry products which
will make it possible to supply our
own army and navy with red meats
and at the same time furnish the allies
with the animal foods they need.

less of season.
A graceful feature of the dress pic
tured is the wide sash Of self-fabric
tied at one side. This may be plain,
as shown, or the ends may be banked
In satin edged with beads.
On the little tailored serge dresses
now being shown for fall wear in
Vulnerable small round fabric covered
or crochet buttons are used as trim
ming. Frequently panels, which ap-
pear on all sorts of garments, are
edged all about with buttons set close
together, and again a slashed skirt of
serge will be edged with buttons, and
open over a petticoat Of satin. But
tons and fringe share honors as trim
ming, with embroidery holding it's own,
and it is interesting to note that one of
the very new types Of embroidery is
that done in a heavy silk twist, SO
heavy and so firmly twisted as to ap-
pear like cord. This silk twist or cord
is often used in a color contrasting
with the serge Of which the frock is
made, to form a button-hole stitch all
around the edges of panels, sleeves.

with very good effect.
There has recently been revived q
determined effort to create interest in
American designing. Paris has sent
over little that was distinctive or diff
ferent in the past three years. The
early showing Of garments for fall is
largely Of American design, and it may
well be watched with interest.
