RETAIN ALL DAIRY ANIMALS
More People Than Ever In Country to
Feed and Milk Will Be Used If
Price Is Fair.

There are more people to feed than
ever in this country and If prices can
be brought to a point where they can
afford to buy they will buy and use a
great deal more milk than they did.
AS for selling of dairy cows, think how
disastrous it would be. Many do not
even now get as much milk as they
would like, and thousands and thou
sands of pounds of butter substitutes
are used every year.

NOVELTY IN WINTER GLOVES
Heavy Silk, Reinforced Handeovering
Is Introduced by Manufacturers;
Kids Match Shoes.

Another novelty of the season, and
one Of the most distinct. is the intro
duction Of silk gloves for winter. Orig
inally these were created by their
manufacturer to be worn with the
protection of a muff, the object being
to save white gloves, which quick
ly become hot and sticky inside
muff. But It has been found that
these silk gloves work so well for 9th
er purposes that their original mission
is to be extended. They are made OF
Il special heavy silk, and in addition
are reinforced One type is a loose
"slip-on" with elastic in a shirring at
the wrist, the silk backed with cotton
woven in with the silk. The other
type is the usual shOrt-wrIsted silk
glove, heavy outside with thinner
silk lining.
The imported and domestic kid
gloves have dressed themselves up to
match shoes and stockings, and we
see white glace kid gauntlets lined
with Il color, biscuit, pale blue, yell
low, and stitching on the backs to
match. The reliable and indispens-
able chamoisette is naturally as much
with us 'late and soon" as ever.

LACE COMES INTO ITS OWN
The twisted Puff Is Very New.

The Twisted Puff Is Very New.
Skirts are definitely longer and
longer and there is a marked tendency
toward the irregular. hem-line, espe-
cially in evening gowns, says Paris
fashion writer in Vogue. Many of the
evening gowns are draped, and many
are In brilliant colors. The decol-
letage, as a rule, is only moderately
low. Perhaps the most marked feat
ure here is the use of the rolled or
twisted puff OF the material Of the
costume or of some soft fabric. This
twisted puff is put to a variety of
uses. Sometimes it is set at a tow
waistline to form a belt, usually end
in a caseading scarf at one side of
the front, which may even form a.
train. Again the puff may be used
as the collar of a suit or coat, or it
may serve as finish for the sleeves,
long or short.

Coats and Tuxedo sweaters are still
in vogue, especially in brushed wool.
The newest flower girdles have arti-
fetal flowers appliqGed fiat against

Braided bands, beaded trimmings
and spangles have lost none of their

Appliques Of brOadcloth, velvet or

a feature.
Many Of the suit coats button tight

and are three-quarter length.
Many walking boots and street
shoes in russell are shown, In fact,
there is vogue for brown footwear
