It looks as If there were about as
many silk suits as there are wool suits
in the displays at the shops. One
hears women who have no need to
save money, saying and repeating 1t,
that they are not buying wool clothing
at all. They intend to look to cotton
and silk to supply them with what
they need, for this summer and they
are doing this from patriotic motives.
Wool suits are being remodeled, fresh
ened with new collars and cuffs of
satin, or garnished with fiat silk braid
In many precise rows, and we are
pointing with pride to these made-over
possessions
In the meantime those VINO manu-
facture silks are centering attention
on new beautiful and very practical
weaves, for all sorts of wear. There
are among them some wonderful, dis
ttnctive dress fabrics.
AS silks become more and more
practical they will continue to replace

wool. Already there is not much diff
ference in the designs for street suits
between those of silk and those Of
wool. In the foreground of the pic
ture there is a suit of satin and near
enough for comparison one of wool.
Their lines and style features are very
much alike. The silk suit has a skirt
with more fullness at the front than
usual it is plain and hangs straight
The coat, in the mode of today, is
uneven in length with long points at
the front. Its body is extended at
one side to form part of a wide girdle
where three fancy buttons finish it.
These buttons appear again as a deco
ration on the sleeve where 1t flares
at the hand.
In this suit shawl collar is supple
mented by a sailor collar under 1t.
This order of things Is reversed in the
wool suit where a small separate col
lar on the waistcoat. overlays the coat
collar.

Size Of Hens and Conservation.

Size OF Hens and Conservation.
My Aunt Clarinda,'' said the North
Alabama street car passenger, lis the
most practical patriotic woman I know.
The food authorities may depend on
her when it comes to meeting all de-
mands for the conservation of food.
For long time she has been aceus-
toned to having an egg for breakfast
one egg. no more. The hen whose
duty it was to supply this egg was of
plain country extraction, wholly desti-
tute of pedigree. and laid an unusually
large egg My aunt, thinking this over.
came to the conclusion that as a meas
ure of food conservation she could get
along with a much smaller egg at
breakfast What did she do? She put
that hen In the pot one meatless day
and got in her place Seabright ban
tam that lays an egg less than two
thirds as large-'.Indfanapoli News.

The blouse shown in the picture

A checker board design Is made by
basting on small squares of the fab

the blouse and having them all out

of the band of decoration made in this

are groups of very small tucks. A

'MERklE LIVES down
HIS FAMOUS .BCNER

New York, July 5.--The bonehead
plays that players make live after
them, according to the baseball
oracle.
But though bonehead plays may
live, the players who perpetrate them
may live them down, and this is just
what Fred. Merkle is dotng-Fred
Merkle of the famous episode that
cost the Giants pennant when he
forgot to touch second.
AS he became a veteran in the SER
vice of the Giants his playing over a
stretch of six or seven years over
head play and the novelty of kidding
him about IT wore off, though the
scribes often referred to 1t.
Then came the season of 1916,
which saw Merkle on the decline-or
at least John McGraw thought so,
for Fred was traded to the Brooklyn
Dodges for Lew McCarty and that
day August 20, 1915. was one of the
blacklist days of his career.
Last season Merkle bloomed out in
the uniform of the Chicago Cubs,
having been sold to the Weeghmsn
combine in January of last year for
sum said to have been $4,000.
What did the Cubs want with
MGTktEf dNkFu kHS ldIiSt 4lSA FAC
was through or McGraw would never
have parted with him, they figured.
But Merkle wasn't through. He had
"a fairly good season with the Cubs
last year--just fairly good. mind you
yet he proved to Manager Mitchell
that he was still a mighty valuable
ball player to have hanging around.
Today there is not a question as 70
Merkle's value. He is the leading
slugRer OF the Cub machine and his
playing around the initial corner for
Mitchell has been an inspiration to
every member of the team. Should
the Cubs come through to a pennant
this year Merkle's work will be
pointed to as one OF the reasons why
Merkie has lived down his bonehead
play. He has come back as few
players ever came back and he de-
serves no end OF praise
