RUFFLEs ARE MUCH IN USE

The extensive use Of fine plated ruff

Is from one-hah inch wide to three
inches and IL used to edge girdles,
fichu collars, sash ends and is applied
in endless ways to trim apron tunics
and overskirts.
An effective and extremely new

much used on silks. A large figured

SUITABLE FOR STOUT WOMEN
Longer and Narrow Skirt Regarded a.
Far More In FaVor-open Sleeve
a BLESSING

II you yourself are not more ro-
tund than you should be, you just
don't know anything about II, unless
mayhap you have narrowly watched the
struggles Of a fat friend or are the
dressmaker who must plan the raiment
for the fat as well as the lean-you
don't know anything about how per-
fectly and entirely unsuited the mode
that has just gone the way of all
passee styles was to the woman Of
many pounds.
The short skirt Is an abomination
for the woman who weighs too much,
yet as things were one looked abso-
lutely frumpy In a long skirt. And
short skirts seemed to call for French
heeled shoes and q heavy woman
really does not look her best In that
type Of shoe or rather she 80 soon gets
the better of the shoe that that type
Of shoe always looks N little shabby
and out Of shape when worn by her.
But the mode that Is already with
us Is far more favorable. The mar
row skirt Is a blessed relief. The mar
row skirt likewise helps, or rather the
skirt draped to look narrow. The open
sleeve Is q blessing, for the increased
width at the wrist makes the upper
arm appear smaller. 1t hides the fat
wrist and also makes the hand ap-
pear slender.

INDIAN DESIGNS IN RIBBON
coIors Are Delicate and Suggest
q Beautiful Panama Hat; Deeper
Tones for Outing Hats.

Smart ribbons have been brought out
in Indian designs for outing hats for
women. While the designs are In
dian, the colors are delicate and sug-
gest a beautiful Panama hat. In the
deeper tones for outing hats there are
ribbons OF Roman effect. The polka
dot is good for hat trimming. and In
larger sizes, in the wider ribbons, each
dot as big as an apple.
There are beautiful things In two
tone ribbons, one side one color and
one the other. Some of these are all
In the pastel shades and others In
deeper tones, contrasting colors
brought together. Two colors are also
used In beautiful quality grosgrain
ribbons, these having the body and
edge different with rich contrasts.
Handsome broad metallic ribbons are
rich and heavy, made to wholesale at
$50 bolt of ten yards.
A ribbon, not new this year, but deep
and rich In color and design, the lat
ter Egyptian, is the Cleopatra, and a
ribbon suggesting cubist art In color

Ribbons In delicate colors and soft

with rose petals. Doubtless the rose
petal hat will be much in demand as
spring comes on apace.
No one with open eyes needs to be
told that the corsage bouquet has been
revived. 1t is not as yet so usual as
to be actually popular. 1t has the ad-
vantage, as yet, of exclusiveness. 1t
is seen worn on many evening gowns
and not infrequently on afternoon
gowns as well. 1t is possible that the
spring will reintrOduce the fashion of
wearing flower bouquets on the tail
ored suit or street frock, as was the

We are told that hats this spring are
to be verltable flower gardens, notes
millinery authority. And II would take
no oracle to predict that Of all hOw-
ers the rose would be supreme. Even
before the armistice was signed the
rose became immensely popular-real
roses and artificial roses and the rose
motif In decoration. Then with the
armistice and victory the color Of the
rose became one Of the most success
full Of victory colors. In fact, it was

"D0NT'S" IN USE OF MACHINE

Don't forget to oil the sewing ma
chine frequently. The treadle and pit
man should be oiled In their bearings
almost as often as the working parts
above the table.
Don't allow the machine to stand
uncovered when not In use, as II COZ
lects dust and lint. The working
parts below the cloth plate should be
busted and lint removed frequently
with small camel's hair brush. The
parts above the cloth plate should be
wiped ften with cheeseclth.
Don't run the machine when the
presser foot is down and there Is no
material In the machine, as this
roughens the underside Of the foot
and blunts the feed.
Don't run the machine while 1t Is
threaded without a piece Of material
under the foot, as this causes the
thread to knot around the bObbin and
makes a big. ugly, bunch Of thread
on the underside of the work when
stitching is begun. There IS Oftea
a tendency on the part Of the open
tor to stitch several inches after the
end Of the seam has been reached
This Is a bad practice.
Don't pull the material while II
being stitched, as this causes
stretched, tight, ugly stitch and very
often blunts or breaks the needle

A lovely young actress-One Of the
sdored beauties of Paris-had just
launched a most effective novelty. This
novelty takes the form of thick cord,
with long tassel, of bright scarlet silk.
In front there was an antique Orna-
ment, In plaque form, suspended from
the cord, and at the back big tassel
weighted IT down and made a splendid
flash of color. This idea was taken
from the scarlet cords and tassels
worn by choir boys in some churches
on ceremoniOus occasions.
The color of the cord and tassel
was the brightest and most vivid scar
let. the ornament in front being

Farmers Week at the Louisiana State
University, July Fl to August 8. Espe-
cial attention will be given to the me-
ehanfcal construction of tractors, as
well as to their operation. It is be-
lieved that lack of such knowledge
on the part of the farmers is n of
the main reasons why more tractors
are not in use in the state,
It is planned to have a number Of

facers present, who viii assist in the
instruction and demonstrations. The

.structor. and be given practical in

MARKING CHICKS SAVES
LATER MISTAKES

Poultry raisers frequently make the
mistake of keeping old hens on their
farms and killing the younger hens
and pullets because they are unable
to distinguish them after the pullets
have matured, say the poultry special
lists, Extension Dixision, Louisiana
State University. Marking the chicks
when they are young with a toe punch
will help to avoid this and win enable
the poultryman to determine readily
the age and breeding and to keep any
other records desired. The chicks
should be marked before they are
transferred to the brooder o r brood
