Those who design suits showed us
Just how adrolt they could be when
they managed their early spring offer
ings Of wool. They had to be made of
the shortest allowance Of goods, but
the designers made virtue Of neces-
sity and the conservation Of wool
worked TO the advantage of styles.
Later they turned to several new and
heavy weaves in silk as substitute
for wool and for midsummer they were
able to forget all about saving ma
terials and design suits Of taffeta and
satin according TO their own fancy.
These make the last of their offerings;
for now they must begin their work
for fall.
No one could ask for more than they
have done this season In giving us va
riety In styles. In the pretty suit at

Why should children prefer to write
on immaculate walls rather than on
writing paper? Because, first. their
mothers caution them not TO do II, and.
second, because the walls are whittier
and the writing looks better on them
than II does on paper. But the time
has come when the mother need fear
for the white nursery walls no longer.
They can Indeed, be changed from n
source Of Irritation to education
nj purposes by means Of finish which
makes them washable. In other words
all pencil, crayoL and pen marks may
be washed away. Consequently, the
wall surface is as good n place for
drawing pictures or making examples

Is intended primarily for the walls OF
the nursery, II may be used In the
kitchen. living room or other part OF
the house where children are wont to
try out artistic ability ON the walls.
The finish may be in any one OF Q
number of different shades.

Cleaning q Ia Ruth.

A Kentucky farmer makes TO the
Louisville Couricr-Journnl the suggcs-
tlon that cleaners should go into the
wheat fields this summer and gather
up every stalk Of wheat which the
binder has missed. He estimates that
ten bushels of wheat, or nbout two bnr'
rels Of flour, would be saved In every
2O-acrc field.
The custom has been TO turn hogs
into the stubblc and~ict them clean up
whnt the hnrvcstcrs have left. II Is
suggested that while we nrc trying To
save -four for the prosecution OF the
war cleaners instead of pigs should
follow the harvest, ms was the custom
