FADS "OVER THERE
Reyiving Skirt With Ankle Slit
The Sugar ChateIaine.
Tiny Case Is Used to Carry the Very
Scarce Sweet-Tin Helmets With
Brims of Straw.

The wool shortage works out differ
emily in London and New York ap-
parently, for word comes recently that
English women are reviVng the skirt
with an ankle slit. Skirts must of
necessity be of scanty dimensions, and
one simply cannot wear a skirt that is
only a yard and half wide and hope
to walk. with ease. Hence the slit,
states a fashion correspondent. Five
years ago the slit skirt was undoubt-
edly merely a freak of fashion. We
didn't have to wear such narrow
zkirts. But now, apparently, it has
come back in London as a matter of
necessity, if not of actual patriotism.
Here, of course, we manage, as we
think, more cleverly. We combine wool
with silk and other fabrics in a way
that makes it possible to have the
minimum of wool in our frocks, with
out skirt so narrow as to make the
slit inevitable.
During the sugar shortage last win
ter there were some hostesses who
added a line bearing the words
''Please bring your own sugar" to their
cards sent out to invite friends to aft
ernoon tea. At least one woman,
who was particularly frank, resorted
to this device when her own sugar
supply had been reduced to zero. But
that is so long ago, and so remote now
Is any actual famine in sugar, that
we have forgotten all about it. 1t
seems now as if wheat was the only
thing that we had ever had to con-
serve. However, in France, and to
certain extent in England, sugar is
still a scarce article. In parts of
France there simply isn't any. It isn't
question of conservation there, for
how can you conserve that of which
you have positively none?
When there is any sugar it is prized
as were costly spices from the Indies
priced in the days when to seek q
short route to such prizes was suffi
cient incentive to make Christopher
Columbus brave the unknown seas
French people never knew how much
they liked sweets until now. And

FURNISHINGS FOR THE PORCH
summer Cushions, Among the Most
Important conveniences, Should
Be Made to Withstand Service.

1t is time to think of summer fur
nishings, especially those for the porch,
with which even the most humble
house is now supplied. Service is the
first requisite Of the summer cushion,
because it must withstand dust and
rain and general hard usage. For this
reason heavy dark materials and wash
able ones are to be recommended.
Among the wash materials which are
most attractive are the Japanese tow
elings. These can now be bought in
other shades than the usual blue and
white. Brown and white, cool green
and white and gray and white offer
plenty of variety and chance for set
ting or matching color scheme. They
wash beautifully and are very reason
able.
For the round mats which many
porches require where the porch steps
are used for seats, stenciled oilcloth is
unusual. The advantage Of an oil
cloth cushion in either black or white

Barn for Valuable Cows.
A good example of well-built and
well-cared-for farm building is shown
in the accompanying design. 1t is
barn for valuable dairy cows.
Dairy cattle, like everything else,
have gone way up in price. 1t doesn't
take much of COW today to sell at
500, and plenty of thoroughbreds are
bringing ten times that amount.
They are worth it, too. A high-priced
cow is often the biggest money-maker
for her owner, and, the best food pro-
ducer for the nation.
Valuable dairy cows should be well
housed. No animal can produce eff
GENTLY when stabbed in an uncomfort-
able or insanitary way. A clean stall
and clean manger, plenty of sunshine
and fresh air, protection from the cold,
and pure drinking water piped to the
stall and within reach at all times, add
anywhere from 10 to so per cent to
the yield from each COW over what it
would be under the ordinary neglected
conditions of stabling and feeding.
Any COW that's worth keeping at all,
is worth taking care of and housing
in the proper stable. For thorough
breds-prize stock-it pays to go still
further and give them quarters in line
with their value.
Such barn is illustrated here. The
driveway across the barn is special.
Some would dispense with this, there
by gaining stall room for six more
cows. AS it is, the layout is generous
in size.

BE PUT TO GOOD USE
Propagation of BIadderwort Suggested
as Means of Diminishing Plague
of Mosquitoes.

Not long ago, says the Milwaukee
Journal, Prof. w. E. Ringle, natural
ist Of Pittsburg, Kan. discovered in
Kansas creek bladderwort, plant
that is usually found in more northern
streams. He took it to his laboratory
and placed it in jar that contained
several small tadpoles, in order to
&erate the water and do away with
the necessity of changing it so often. Z
The tadpoles quickly began to disap-
pear in a mysterious manner. An in
vestigation resulted in the surprising
discovery that the small balloons On
the plant were traps and tombs for
the tadpoles. The plant had deyoured
them. If it would consume tadpoles,
there is no reason why it should not
deyour "wiggle-tails," the larvae of the
mosquito, the naturalist thinks. One
way Of Kidding a community of mosqui-
toes, therefore, appears to be to propa-
gate the bladderwort in pools and
streams.

Old CoYnforters.

Sometimes from two badly worn
comforters it is possible to make one
that is satisfactory. The cotton can
be carefully looked over, and that that
is badly worn or soiled thrown away
and the one remaining comforter made
thicker or longer than either Of the
two original ones. The covers may be
cut over so that from one comforter
the top cover may be taken and from
the other, the lining. Sometimes from
single old comforter child's comfort
can be made, or comforter for
baby's crib. But If you have thimble
and a needlebook and some spools OF
heavy thread, set of ten fingers and
wits Of an average sort never throw
away old comforters.
