Are they made of silk or are they
Of wool? That is the question that
Clues our eyes to the new showings of
suits and leads us to take many an
extra step for a closer view. 1t turns
1ut that many of the suits for mid
summer are made of new weaves in
silk fabrics that are soft and supple
snd have little luster, so they keep us
guessing. Besides the all-silk fabrics
there are silk and wool mixtures, all
OF them calculated to make us forget
to deplore the scarcity of wool. In
case the government should see fit to
commander the wool production 1t
will be no hardship to wear these new
fabrics.
There are many belted models In
the new modes and many coats open
over trig-looking plque vests. Uneven
lengths, cleverly applied buttons and
unusual pockets are features that tone
up their style-fine points in the tech
nique of making. Skirts grow mar
rover and remain plain. Fashion still
finds slenderness adorable and design
ers have grown marvelously clever in

The simplest of these blouses are

and white made up with collars and
cuffs of white organdie finished with
frills, or with these accessions In

that In the blouse, make variety
enough to suit everyone.
The best things about these and all
the rest of their kind is their peren-
NAL freshness and their durability.
Voiles, batistes and organdies stand
wear and Tubing better than heavier
materials and look as good as new
after long service, therefore their
charm is permanent.

lined with corded edge and finished
fashloning suits along such trim lines
that they suggest slimness even on a
plump figure. This bit of camoufiage
is well worth considering.
The suit pictured might be made of
one of the new silks or silk and wool
mixtures, and 1t would be effective in
pongee or poplin or in light weight
wool materials. 1t embodies the salient
features of the seasons modes for mid
summer with its coat pointed at the
bottom and belted about the sides and
front and its covered buttons applied
in rows to the sleeves. Two of them
at each side are slipped through actual
button holes so that the belt across the
front fastens on either side.

Mere man varies the monotony of
his workaday clothes by indulging
himself in many changes of ties, and
women in the same way rely upon
blouses to give the spice of variety to
their daily costuming. The new
bIouses that have Just made their ap-
pearance for midsummer wear prom
ise to fulfill their mission in the most
refreshing way, for they are made of
light colors with white in many ways.
Manufacturers of fabrics and design
ers of blouses have worked together
for the good of womankind this sum-
mer, the first producing striped and
cross-bar as we'll as plain materials
that are washable and the latter
pleasing and versatile details of trim
ming.
Cluster tuckings, contrasting collars
and cuffs, frills of net or plain organ

a,id some hand embroidery finish off
the clever planning and cutting which
see to 1t that the new blouses are
started right. They are adorably re-
fned and dainty and sometimes they
are just as simple as they LOOKOUT
not often. 1t is their business to look
simple and beautifully finished.
The blouse shown in the picture
bears out these statements. 1t is OF

1t is generally appreciated fact that n
very small percentage of the theoretical efIl-
cheney Of coal and other fuel Is practically
utilized in useful work In other words, the
greater part OF the fuel's value is lost up the
chimney.
The worst part of this is that we go along
on this basis in perfect contentment. The
wastcfulness Of a coal stove is enormous, but
because it cooks our food and at the same
time gives out some grateful warmth we are
apt to view the situation with complasance.
An addition TO the ordinary range in the
shape of Il metal cover to conserve the heat
has been recently invented.
1t is an entirely inclosed compartment
covering the entire top of the range and
being secured TO It by means of clamps
Hinged doors permit access TO the interior
for the purpose of placing and removing
utensils containing food to be cooked on
the surface of the stove The device is
said TO show great economy in the coal con-
surned and the amount of work done by IL.

Plants cut in midsummer have power
TO adjust themselves, while plants
which are pruned in winter have ex-
pended all their energy.
1t is said that heading In of tho
branches before active growth has

fulness. This checks the length of the
branch and encourages short lateral
Erowths. or short spur-like branches
The tendency Of such branches is to
develop fruit buds.

SPRING LAMB NOT ON BILL

late enough in "fulling." there Is

that the spring lamb was conspicuous
by its total absence.
The market men explain this rare
occurrence. or nonoccurrencc, by re-
ferring to :ho long and bitter winter
which cut the carly spring lamb sup
ply short. Be that as it may, the
fact is that up to the present writing
no spring lamb has appeared on the
