wearer. There is great variety of
shapes in meshes-square, diamond
shaped, heXagOnal and oblong, with
all sorts Of incOnspicuOus crossbars
and figures to add interest to them.
Street wells have light woven-in Dor
derS and they are worn either hanging
free or fastened about the neck, after
the manner of the three wells shown
in the picture.
Wells should be tried on and Sc
lected for becomingness, as hat shapes
are. Some meshes make the face look
more youthful and others seem to re-
veal wrinkles. For clearing up the
skin and bringing out color dark blue,
sapphire, and national blue are all eff
fective. Taupe and black find more
admirers than any other colors.
There are some small face wells only
large enough to extend from hat brim
to chin, and they are made to be
pinned or to be slipped on and held
in place with small, round elastic cord.
The floating wells shown at the right
and bottom Of the group are knotted
In at the back sometimes as in the
hat shown at the upper left side.
These are popular styles, soft, becom-
Ing, and desirable.

Since the war came to Europe the
eyes of the farmers, particularly the
dairy farmers, have been opened to
the distinct advantage derived from
the use of the motortruck over the rail-
road for the collection and delivery of
milk, writes Jack Brooks of England in
Dairy Farmer.
In the last few months the number
Of motor vehicles for the handling of
milk by road has trebled, especially in
Britain, where the business of prOduc-
ing milk for consumption by the pub
lie has outgrown every other kind Of
dairy enterprise by leaps and bounds.
To the majority of dairy farmers,
time means money, and experience has
proved trat the saving of time is one
of the most appealing assets of the mo-
tortruck's general efficiency In farm
ing work.
The British railroad companies
charge two cents a gallon up to so
miles and 3 cents a gallon up to 100
miles to transport milk from the dairy
farmer to the big milk depots of the
wholesale dealers in the various hooks
md cranntes of the country. Empties
are returned to the farmer without ex-
ira Charge This is not excessive and
by actual comparison with the cost of
the motortIuck is, indeed, slightly
cheaper. But there are several fac
tors inseparRble from the total cost
of transporting this milk that are
not included in this fiat rate of trans
port charged by the railroads. And
1t is these "extras" which, to the think
ing dairy farmer, mean just that diff
ference between a small margin and a
generous margin of profit.
Advantage of the Truck.
For instance, the cost of transport
ing milk from one railroad station to
another does not include that expense
entailed in getting the milk from the
dairy farmers premises to the rail-
road station of departure. This may
be a distance of one mile, or it may be
ten miles. Then there is the time
spent in transferring the "churns"
from the vehicle to the railroad trucks,
more time spent at the other end in
taking the churns out again, and the
possibilities of delays on branch lines
and the waiting on the platforms I'M

rich. Pile fabrics are warm and rich
looking and have proved to be most
durable. Coats of these plushes sell
at q reasonable price and so do those
of heavy woods that are woven like
steamer rugs or army blankets. Leath-
err coats have been introduced to pro-
vide warm coats at medium price.
The two coats shown in the picture
above are good examples of styles for
all-rOund general wear. They are cut
on the most practical lines with muf-
tler collars, big pockets and roomy
sleeves. The coat at the left has a
narrow belt of cloth with long ends
that loop over at the front. A few
bone buttons make themselves useful
for fastening at the waistline and col
lar and ornamenting the cuffs. In
the coat at the right, the buttons are
cloth-cOvered and the belt slips
through a slide at the front. A luxu-
riOus collar of skunk fur may be
brought up and fastened at the throat,
in the face of stormy weather or be-
fore the teeth of an icy wind. These
are both attractive coats and types of
styles that are soft and becoming as
well as warm and durable.

Coatings represented in thick, soft
weaves and, if gifted with a retentive
mind, she may be able to commit their
various names to memory. They all
seem to be variations of cloths that
we have known in the past as Bolivia,
Zibeline, duvetyn rough mixtures and
other heavy, woody fabrics that are
coy looking. Some of them we know
to be strong and sturdy, others look
as promising. Taken as whole,
cOatings are richer looking than they
have, ever been, which is a pleasant
thing to contemplate-and measured
by prices they certainly ought to look
rich.
Some of the new coats are extrava-
gantly high priced and there has been
an increase in nearly all of them. The
cheerfulness of the buyer is apt to be
somewhat dampened unless her purse
is long, for fur-trimmed coats must

eAITdNuSduC, DuC no scrap
OF meat or bit of bone need be wasted,
as there is stock, salad, timbales and
canapes which may be made from
small bits:
Chicken d la Marengo.-This dish
is said to have been originated for
Napoleon after the battle of Marengo.
SINCE and clean five-pound chicken
and cut 1t up for fricassee. Melt two
tableSpOOnfuls of butter in saucepan
and add three tablespoonfuls of the
best olive oil. When it is hot add the
dark meat Of the chicken and cook
five minutes. Then add the white meat
with salt and pepper and bit of gar
lie. Mix and stir over a good fire and
cook 20 minutes, until each piece is
golden brown. Have ready to-
mato sauce, made from one can Of to-
matoes a bit each of onion, carrot,
parsley, cooked thick and rubbed
through a sieve; add One-half pound
of fresh mushrooms and the chicken.
Cook the mushrooms in fat five min
utes. Arrange the chicken on a plat
ter; add to the gravy IN the pan three
tablespoonfuls of the tomato PURGE,

Roast and mash to paste one pounu
of chestnuts. Add half a cupful of
cream, teaspoonful of chopped pars-
ley and a dash of salt with two we'll
beaten eggs; pour into well buttered
timbale mOlds and bake, set in dish
of hot water. When firm, in about
20 minutes, turn out and serve with
cream sauce or with rich tomato
sauce.
A delicious soup may be made with
chestnuts as a foundation. Cook a
quart of cheStnuts in boiling water,
slip off the brown skins and drop them
into cold water. Drop again into boil
ing water; add a small onion, three
stalks of celery, small blade of
mace and bit of bay leaf. When
the nuts are tender mash through a
sieve, add white stock, tablespoon

There is something very alluring
about wells. They are among the be-
longings of women, that are peculiar
ly their own; mere man having no
share in this kind of apparel. The
wedding veil IS vision that girlhood
cherishes and thrills over Wells are
significant and charming-and have in
most cases no other season for exist
ence. But they contribute to neat
ness, If one must be practical, and
they are often very fattering. 1t Is
the element of style in them, with be-
comingness that makes them dear to
the hearts of women and provides us
with everchanging weaves and pat
terms to choose from.
Some mOdistes have featured wells
as an essential part Of the trimming
of hats, in their displays of fall mil
linery. The all-over lace patterns ap-
pear to have given place to mesh wells
with borders, these borders being often
in lace pattern or having a floral de-
sign applied to the mesh. Wells fall
about the face and head from small
and medium-sized hats in ways that
seem casual but are not. They are
sometimes draped with the border
about the hat and the plain edge hang
ing down, but this Is exceptional ;
nearly always the plain edge is placed
about the shape and the border de-
fines the bottom Of the veil.
Among the very elegant wells used
on dressy hats those Of chantilly lace
are conspicuous. The mesh is fine in
these, and the border a floral pattern
above a scalIoped edge usually. Black
and taupe gray are the favored colors
for wells, either color proving practi-
cal for the street and becoming to the
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1919-10-23

Undoubtedly, the greatest advantage
the industrial motor vehicle has to of
fer over the railroad train in the ship
ment of milk is the avoidance of trans
shipment and the elimination of sew.
eral landings. With the motortruck
the dairy farmer sends his milk d.
rect from the farm to the market. At
least four landings of the milk be-
tween departure and arrival are avoid
ed, and there is a resultant saving Of
time, labor and last, but by no means
least, the risk of damage. OF course,
the motor cannot compete with the rail-
roads over long distances, but since 1t
costs as much to send gallon of milk,
in Britain, 20 or % miles as to send
it 80 miles by rail, and 55 or 60 miles
cost as much as 100, the use of the mo-
tortruck for these shorter distances
under each rate is to the farmers ad-
vantage.
Saving In Cost
Looking into the cost from a COM
parative point of view, we find that:
Thirty "churns" shipped say, 81 miles,
cost by rail, 5000; by motor $3.50.
The average churn FUSED on rail-
roads) holds II gallons. Thirty
churns would thus total 5000 at
two cents the gallon. A three-ton
motortruck costs, on an average of
$4,000 miles, $3.50. Fifty-four miles at
% cents per mile gives the cost of the
trucks trip. Then the railroad is I'm.
doubtedly cheaper, you say.
Yes! But what about the cost Of
shipping the milk from the farm to the
station, which is not included in the
railroad fiat rate? And the further
away you are from the station, the
greater the expense. And what about
the return journey? With the proper
type of truck, the empty churns can be
stacked in half the truck space, the re-
naming half being available for a load
at no additional cost. Even if the
dairy farmer does not in every case
wish to load up for his own purposes
his available body space on the return
journey, he usually can utilize it for
load of his neighbOr, which is prac-
tically the same thing. No one knows
better than the dairy farmer just what
he can save by getting a return load
home at no extra cost.
