body with eight pin tucks across the
back, in place of belt and skirt a
trif1e longer than the regulation, gath
cred on to the body at the normal
waistline. 1t has moderately large
patch pockets and the designer hap
pened to think to set the two large but
tons that adorn them, at the bottom
instead Of the top. This, with the
panel in the back that lengthens the
figure, are the clever touches that
make one turn round to look twice at
a noteworthy coat. 1t is finished with
wide shawl collar.
The suit begins with an approved
plain skirt and ends with a short,
straight-hanging coat heightened into
points at the hips. This is one inter-
probation of the new cape back clearly
emphasized by long ornaments depend
ing from the points. A wide girdle is
simulated by the shaped piece of cloth,
bound with silk braid, that follows
the line Of the curve at the bottom of
the coat. 1t is caught up at the mid
die of the back with buckle and three
small buttons. A wide shawl collar,
overlaid with removable collar of
white, georgette crepe, finishes the
coat. Tricotine, or any other of the
softer serviceable suitings will devel-
OPP well in this model.

Of course we all aspire to looking
straight and slim-and smart, like the
ladies in the fashion pictures the
best way to go about achieving our
ambitions is to study those pictures,
and ourselves, with care and the aid
of comprehensive mirror. We may
accomplish slimness and we may not,
but we can be sure of straightness and
smartness, and these ought to satisfy
anybody. Above all things we long to
look smart in street clothes, for smart
ness is their flavor-without it they
are fiat failures.
Keen designers who have our aspira-
tons and difficulties in mind, bring to
us such examples of their genius as
the new suit, with It's straight, one
piece back In very short coat, that
is shown here. Or, If a one-piece
frock and top coat is our hearts de-
sire, they present such irreproachable
top-coats as that shown beside the suit.
There is nothing startlingly novel
about them, but there are several in
teresting details In their construction.
No one needs to be told that they are
smart looking and distinctly in the
mode.

In this group of three hats there are
three classes represented by fine ex-
amples of their kinds. There is q
| graceful, soft model for street wear,
in white and black; dressy, pictur-
esque affair in transparent black, and
bit of subdued gayety in a high
pink, bonnetlike shape made Of crepe
georgette. This is reserved millinery
following in the wake of the modes at
modest distance from extremes. But
each hat is gem that will bear COM
parison with any others of its kind
and interesting because of it's individ-
ual style.
In street hats there are not so many
soft models, fashion having swung to-
ward the trim, sprightly, spirited
styles. But there is so much class in
this bit Of headwear that it can af-
ford to be different from the majority.
1t is Of white yedda braid faced with
black satin and has collar of narrow,
black satin ribbon, finished with
small bow at the back. Under the bow
the soft crown is tackled to the brim
and at the front pair of small, black
wings are convincingly chic. The hat
speaks French and if it were not for
the war we would be sure to credit
Paris with 1t.
The pretty black hat, with braid
crown and brim Of machine, is a type
that every woman admires and all
women, young or otherwise, can wear.
1t has tie of narrow satin ribbon
about the base of the crown finished
with little cravat bow at the front.

Cow Climbs Barn Stairs.

A COW of Chinook, Wash, belonging
to Dave williams, which has long held
the championship for breaking into
peighbors' yards in defiance Of all spe-
cially designed gates and locks, has
won a new distinction.
Going into the family barn the other
cav, Mrs. Herman Johnson heard
Eeavy footsteps in the hay NOW above.
Investigation showed this cow con-
tentedly munching bale Of alfalfa
lay. The stairs leading to the loft
IRE at an angle of about eighty de-
grees, and how the cow managed to
negotiate them was a puzzle. Calling
the men, a parley ensued as to how
the cow was to be lowered. While
plans for rigging derrick were being
discussed, the COW walked down the
steps in defiance Of all laws Of gravi-
tatiOn.
To prevent the COW from repeating
this spectacular performance a heavy
piece Of timber was nailed across the
bottom of the steps, but the next day
the COW was discovered In the loft
again, having wrenched out the large
spikes that held the barrier.

nave also provided attractive barrack.
Tor the use of the girls when theil
days work is done.
In other instances, where the farm:
are not so large, and the distances are
not so great, these committees have
oeen the means of inaugurating cen
tral clubhouse for the girls of a dis
trlct. Here, girls employed on the va
rlous farms in the district are able tc
meet Tor an evening or Sunday after
noon chat, cup of tea, or to listen tc
the music of graphophone, and in
TINS way loneliness-that dreaded bug
aboo of the farmhand-has been re
| moved.
AS girls learn of these arrangements
that have been made for their com.
fort, slowly the old prejudice against
farm life dies out.
AT the same time the men and WON.
en- In charge of the work of increasing
this interest throughout the country
speak enthusiastically Of the change
that has come over the farmer. Cen
orally speaking, the old prejudice of
the average English farmer against
employing women for general work, is
gradually giving way before the great
army of efficient women workers.
The farmer now not only writes let
tiers to the board of agriculture and
the committees through whom he en-
gagged the girls, commencing their
work in the highest terms, but the adj
miration of the farmer for these con-
scientious, adaptable, light-hearted
workers has led in a great number Of
cases to his marrying a girl farmland.
which is, OF course, the highest compi-
ment he can pay her.
While girls have proven their eff
cheney In all departments of farm
work, from operating a motorplow to
wedding and haying, one thing in
which they have excelled is in taking
care of the stock. The farmers have
been quick to realize this. 1t has
been woman's natural work to care
for children, so why shouldn't she be
especially adapted to looking after the
pets of the barnyard?
AS the numbers of the land army
have grown to thousands, the commit
tee of women, under the board of agri
culture which has this work in hand
is constantly introducing new ideas.
For instance, travelling inspectors
visit the district committees, and often
the girls themselves, and thus the girls
may keep in touch with the land army
organization. Examinations are held
at various periods of the year and any
ambitious girl who has devoted her
time to specializing in a certain kind
of work, such as dairying, gardening
or poultry raising, may enter the ex-
aminations. Her efficiency is record
ed with the committee, and she is
given the first opportunity that is open
for her services, with the increased

CALIFORNIA; Goat Ranch.

California has a large ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk
from which is condensed and canned.
Goats milk is said to be very rich. and
is in demand as nourishing food for
invalids. A well-bred mich goat will
produce II. times it's weight in milk.
A COW produces yearly three times
her weight if she is good mixer, but
the goat cannot be depended upon for
a steady supply of milk at all times
through the year. Therefore 1t is said
that canning is the best method Of
making O goat dairy profitable. An
11-ounce can of condensed goat milk
retails at 20 cents in the West, and
the sale has thus far been confined
chiefly to drug stores. The Pacific
Dairy review reports that goat dairy
ing is thriving industry in the west,
and believes that canned goats milk
would find wide sale If extended to
the grocery trade.

general interest and illustrated stories
of the work of the land army.
That the experience of these girls will
give strong impetus to the back to
the farm" movement is already shown
in innumerable little ways.
Many of the girls are planning,
when their soldier boys, to whom they
are engaged, return home, to settle on
a little farm, and many women whose
husbands are doing their bit at the
front have declared their intention of
taking up farm work permanently
when the men return.
Many inquiries have come to the
committees from young women, who
have expressed a desire to continue
farming in one of England's colonies
after the war, and the government has
been asked what, if any, arrangements
have been made to meet this request.
In answer to such a request the fol-
lowing appeared in recent number OF
the official farm magazine:
Nothing very definite can be done
in this matter until after the war; but
a register is being prepared at head
quarters of the names, addresses and
qualifications Of those girls who wish
to take up this work. When the war
is over the various colonial govern.
ments will be approached with view
to obtaining special facilities in the
colonies for all the girls whose names
are on this register
So, no longer is there question as
to farm work for women being an &C
copied or recognized occupation. The
woman farmer, of England has come to
stay. Will the American woman fol-
low her example?

Straight and Draped Skirt.

There is a strong struggle going on
between the straight and the draped
skirt. Both are leading fashions and
neither one is new, but the ultra-smart
woman insists that the draped skirt is
better than the straight one, and she
is upheld by many of the dressmakers.
On the other hand, there are hundreds
of women who say that the draped
skirt has been so featured in cheap
materials in low-priced gowns that it
Is exceedingly commonplace. The
struggle makes skirts interesting and
incidentally adds to the confusion of
the season, which has turned out to be
an arena into which hundreds of fash
ions nave been unfortunately thrown.
