Everything, from richest frrs to
kitchen aprons and war oyeralls, was
given a chance In the recent style
show at the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.
1t was real exposition of practical
garments of all sorts, designed by
Americans, for Americans, and not
merely competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual, expensive and elab-
crate designs In womens apparel. The
garments were made to sell, not simply
for exhibition, and therefore one could
judge from them the standards reached
and the progress made In public taste.
1t was a valuable and interesting ex-
hibit.
There was great deal of interest In
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
men-as work In factories, munitions
plants. gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made with trou-
sers instead of skirts and usually in
one piece with blouse. Several varie-
ties of oyeralls were among them and
these warlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are so prone to part company.
Nightdresses and negligees were not
neglected for the eternal feminine may
clothe herself in war overalls five or
eight hours In the day lin order to be
able to buy dainty and frivolous things
for other hours) but she will not be
weaned away from filmy fabrics and
laces. A pretty nightdress and neg
ligee, shown in the picture, were
among the most graceful of several
such garments In the exhibit at the
style show. The nightdress of main
sock Is low-necked, finished with seal

Foresighted women INDUCED In the
loose, picturesque cape two years ago
and chung to the theory that II was
the comfortable and suitable type Of
covering for frock or suit The
shops finally took UP the theory and
offered loose wraps at all prices, from
$15 to $500.
There is no diminution in the fash
ion. The economical woman finds
that fresh new covering can hide
a faded or dusty gown and give one
a feeling of self-respect in public
places. The new capes are suitable
for coat suits as well as frocks, and
their fabrics run the gamut. Satin,
georgette crepe, all the heavy Chinese
silks. striped and plain taffeta, broad
cloth, velour and chiffon are chosen
Now the top coat has become part
of costume, and 1t even permits
cape to be worn over 1t. 1t Is rather
fascinating as redlngote. II re-

NEW VELVET HATS FOR FALL
Trimmings for Tailored Headgear In
clude Wings, Quilts, Burnt o.
trich Fances, and Others.

AS the fall season draws closer, vel
vet hats for women are coming into
greater use. The popular models, ac-
cording to the official bulletin of the
Retail Millinery Association of Amer
lea, are made of velvet combined with
hatters' plush or panne velvet, and
satin antique combined with hatters'
plush, panne velvet, ordinary velvet
or beaver cloth. In the tailored mod
els, II says. velvet with beaver and
hatters' plush is used extensively. In
the .dressier' models the other com
binations noted are seen.
The trimmings for tailored hats for
the new season include wings, quilts,
burnt ostrich fancies, ribbon or vel
vet bows, buckles of cut steel or bone,
and both large and small rhinestone
pins. For dress hats ostrich landings,
fancles, tips. jet or beaded ornaments,
paradise, ETC., are used. The leading
shades Tor fall are black, purple, navy,
brown, taupc, and sand, though

Save Garden Seed.

Every boy and girl who has had a
garden this season should, whenever
possible, save seed for next years
planting. In many cases 1t Is possible

come too old for eating, thus assuring
a supply Of good seed for next years
planting. AS rule, with limited gar
den areas it will not pay to grow beans.
peas, sweet corn and other vegetables
for the production of seed, but when q
surplus is allowed to become too old
for eating 1t does pay to save this sur
plus for seed. Sufficient tomato
squash, melon, cucumber, and corn
seed may be saved from the product OF
almost any garden provided little
attention is given the matter.
Seed should be saved only from
strong, healthy plants. In the case of
beans, peas, and sweet corn, the seed
should be allowed to ripen on the
plant. In the case of such plants as
tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, the fruits
from which the seed Is 10 be saved
should be well ripened. Remove the
seed and spread 1t out to dry. All
seed must be thoroughly dry before
being stored. Garden seeds must be
kept in q vermin-proof, well-ventilated
receptacle. A tin bread box is ideal,
as 1t supplies the proper amount OF
ventilation and mice cannot destroy
the contents. Care should be taken to
label every package of seed to avoid
confusion at planting time. Keep the
seed boz In dry, wel-ventilated
, room, such as a room on the second
| floor Of the dwelling.

The melancholy days have come, but
so have the new fall hats, and they
have brought along with them q sure
cure for the blues. 1t is just out OF
the question to try on this enticing
new millinery and go on regretting
the passing of summer at the same
time, for winter is foreshadowed and
welcomed by the loveliest of head
wear. The war has thrown Americans
on their own resources In designing. to
a greater extent than ever before; 1t
is hard to tell just how much we owe
to our own homegrown" milliners,
but there cannot be two opinions about
the new hats. They are excellent
from every standpoint.
There are shapes that are large and
there are small hats, and all of them
are graceful. Lines are wonderful and
trimmings do not interfere with them
or blur them. Brims are Irregular,
crowns are soft, materials are rich
and trimmings simple. Much hand
craft appes rs in the making of these
hats and In the making of their trim
mings. The predominating colors are
quiet, but nevertheless brilliance Is
universal In the seasons models.
A group of representative hats Ia
pictured above. The shapes have style
and becomingness to recommend them
and include the principal types Of hats
to be worn during the coming season.
AT the top a hat of dark blue panne
velvet is faced with long-napped bea-
yer and has a band Of HEAVIER about
che crown. There Is silk tassel Of
the same collar for the trimming. The

temperature of the earth varies less
than that of the air. but the fact that
the temperature of the earth at 6 or 3
feet below the surface remains at or
about IS degrees F. the year around
makes 1t quite as important TO protect
the stored ice against the earth heat
as against the heated air. 1t Is more
difficult to remove Ice as needed DUR
Ing the season from pits than from
structures above ground. Slight adj
vantages are apparent at harvest time
In favor of the cellar or the half
sunken types of house, and under some
circumstances they will be preferred
to the other type.
The length of time ice may be kept
depends upon the character Of insula-
ton provided. This will naturally
vary with the location of the ice house
and the method of construction. An
other important factor win be the cost
Of construction.
The simplest type of Ice preserva-
ton consists In stacking the cakes Ia
compact mass on well-drained site,
as well protected as possible by nat
ural or artificial barriers from sun and
wind, and covering the mass with saw
dust, shavings, fodder, marsh hay, or
any other good insulating material.
Such crude method is not to be rec
commended except as temporary
makeshift for Ice which Is to be used
early In the season.

loped edges and fine tucks across the
front There Is an embroidered me-
dalton at each side and full sleeves
that are much longer than sleeves havs
been for several seasons. There Is not
much needlework on this gown. but
what there Is, Is very well done.
The negligee is long slip of plait-
ed silk with an overdrop of lace that
hangs from the shoulders. having the
effect of a short, full lace coat. 1t Is
open down the front and is to be worn
over lacey petticoat or slipped over
the nightdress for bedroom wear. Satin
slippers edged with silk fringe are
detail worth remembering for pretty
pagligees demand the right sort OF
footwear.

some hats are seen with llght-colored
facings.
The bulletin also says that many vel
vet models for fall are being COM
bined with novelty braids. One Of
these braids is made of two or three
strips of felt Joined together with silk
floss stitching and Is used on fianges
and side crowns. It is seen chiefly
In light blue, sand, and rose. Another
novelty is ratine braid, which looks
like heavy cloth with rough finish.
1t Is used mostly on tailored or semi
sport models.

FOR LACK OF ICE

One large creamery, which
buys about 100000 gallons or
sweet milk and cream per year,
returned to farmers last year
nearly $2,700 worth of these
food products on account OF
lack Of proper care which
caused souring, churning and
off flavors.
The records of another plant
show that nearly $4,000 gallons
Of sour milk we're received IN
one year.
insufficient cooling caused
most of these losses, which are
duplicated many times all over
the country during the heated
season.

flowing capes, bordered by long, sweep

view this season, are far from artistic.

ICE SUPPLY FOR

Needed for Protection OF Dairy
Products, Vegetables and
Other PerishabIes.
PLAN FOR SUMMER SUPPLY
Natural Article May BE Harvested at
Time When Farm Work 10 Not
Presslng--Expensive House Is
Not Necessary.

Every farmer who can put up nat
ural ice should plan to do so this win
ter as patriotic duty. Zach farm Ice
house will help relieve the drain ON
the city supply and on transportation,
and will guarantee protection for the
dairy products and other perishables
from the farm when warm weather
comes again.
These war times make heavy de-
mands upon the fuel supply of the
country, and, paradoxical as 1t may
seem, 1t takes fuel to produce artificial
ice, while natural Ice may be har-
vested at time when farm work Is
not pressing and both man and horse
labor are not otherwise profitably EN-
ployed,
Ice is one of those Injuries which In
many sections Of the country can be
had for the gathering. The cost of
harvesting and storing 1t Is not great
as compared with the comfort that 1t
brings.
An ample supply of Ice is Of greater
economic Importance In the country
home than In the city residence. City
people can purchase perishable sup
plies as needed, but the remoteness Of
country homes from markets often
renders 1t necessary to use canned,
corned, or smoked meat products dur
ing the season of the year when the
| table should be supplied with fresh
meats. Not only Is the use Of Ice I'M
portant In the preservation of fresh
meats, butter. and other table supplies,
but the production OF high-grade do
nestle dairy products Is almost Inn
possible without II. Many markets to
which milk is now shipped demand
that 1t be cooled before shipment to a
degree not attainable without the use
of Ice.
Type of House to Build.
Generally, the construction of an ice
house Is a question of economy. The
cost of harvesting and storing, interest
on the money invested, repairs and de
probation on the building should Off
Get the saving In the melting of fee
beyond this II is not good policy TO GO
Since Ice at best is a highly perish
able product, requiring special equip
ment for its preservation. such natura
advantages as are offered by shade ant
exposure should be taken advantage o.
in locating an Ice house. A shad,
