Heavy satin cloth of silver and rich
faille are the materials that are in de
mand for formal evening gowns. These
materials are gorgeous in themselves
and therefore adapted to the present
styles in evening dress, which depends
upon graceful draping of the figure and
not upon embellishments for interest.
It is beauty of fabric and beauty Of
lines that must hold the attention.
Sometimes, in the simpler models,
the drapery suggests the ease and flow
ing lines of the classic Greek garments,
and sometimes a single piece of mater
ial appears to be wrapped about the
figure, with a long loose end forming
q train. But an artist in draping may
use material more freely than is indi-
Gated in either of these styles so long
as he knows how to use drapery TO
glorify the figure. The cOrsage is usu-
ally plain and fiat at the front and
held in place by narrow shoulder straps.
It follows the lines of the corsetiess
figure very closely here and does not

ment OF AgTiculture-1
Members of boys and girls pig
clubs are the pioneers in introducing
purebred pigs and improved methods
of management in many parts of the
South, where the swine industry is
making unprecedented progress
This is true in marked degree in
Georgia. Among the pig clubs, the
total sum represented by the hogs and
pigs in the hands of the pig club mem
bers of the state last year was almost
a half million dollars. The increase in
the number of purebred pigs raised
by the club members in 1918 over 1917
was more than 306 per cent. The in
crease in profits on hogs raised in 1913
over the previous year was more than
81 per cent.
Pig clubs were carried on in connec-
