WHAT THE NEW
YEAR PROMISES US
Simple Afternoon Gowns of Great

Simple Afternoon Gowns of Great
Charm-For the Lady Who Knits
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The New
Year holds the promise of many
things. Possibilities Turk behind
everyday things that seem of them
selves so embarrassing Take for ex-
ample the simple matter of under
clothes. The average woman buys,
this month, material enough to last
her for the coming year. All the
stores have "White Sales" and batiste
and nainsook can be purchased for
almost nothing. This year we have,
aside from our regular resolutions,
those we have made to help win the
war. We are going to do our bit,
and the time to start is now
Bewitchingly Staple and Youthful
Does the simplicity we have heard
preached on the subject of frocks and
coats extend to the lingerie? By all
means, yes. We must buy only what
we really need, and use that little with
forethought.

And full Of beauteous rays
And amt thought Of quitting yet,

The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from the
fact that they provide the cheapest,
best, and most wholesome food for
the family. Their value is hard to
estimate when we consider the amount
saved on the bills. Their produce is
a superior substitute for many foods
necessarily purchased at high prices.
In fact, there is no economic way of
doing without plenty of good milk
cows on the farm.

Soft folds and long lines delight the
eyes IN this charming afternoon gown.
Inere is bit of trimming, very little,
to be sure, but present it is in the
bralding design around the simple
neck, on the wide sleeves and on the
skirt. The dress reminds one of the

gray wolfe, lined, perhaps, with tur-
quoise blue, and braided in exactly

gun; hit in right side of back by two
shrapnels. Was lucky not to have been
killed outright. The shell burst in a
bunch of 30 of us, in three feet of me. l
was able to walk to the nearest dressing
station. Found 20 boys there wounded
in various degrees from same shell. Was
then taken to another station for another
dressing. From there went to a field
hospital; was at this last place for an
hour on a stretcher waiting for doctor
to send me to ward to pick out the
shrapnel, and glancing about happened
to see Charlie Ashworth walking near
me! | called to him and you can ina
CINE his surprise. He is wounded too,
but only, slightly, in the hand and leg. He
walked from the front to dressing stat

hospital; all the ambulances were over
loaded Charlie brought me something
to eat that night; he said he would see
me early next morning, but was carried
to the base hospital before he got up.

Am now in an English hospital, but will
be sent to our own hospital shortly in

There are some hats that belong to
middle life. or rather that do not be-
long to the youthful. They match up
with the pOise, and assurance in style,
of matronly wearers who have cult
waited the art of dressing. 1t is their
privilege TO clothe themselves with
more brilliance than belongs to youth.
Rich fur turbans and small hats and
hats made of beautiful plumage are
among those that look best on older
wOmen-.yOuth is not the right back
ground for them. The superb feath-
crs from the peacock's neck and gOr-
geOus tnil, and other irideScent fcath-
ers, and those whose markings are
marvels of natures work, are used to
cover shapes either quiet or spirited,
for matronly wearers.
The new all-feather hats are diStin-
9uished this season by wing and other
trims that are in one with the hat.
That is, the carefully placed plumage is
simply extended into wing or crest or
ccrOnet that seems to grow from the
hat as natural as the wings from n
bird. These hats are suited to fall and
winter wear. Only few feather hats
anticipate these seasons and these are
all-white feather hats that often ap-
pear in August.
