THE shop windows and the streets
Il are furnishing a panorama Of en-
ticing things for midsummer wear,
with dresses of sheer cotton fabrics
the outstanding item in the display.
Women have returned to fine and prac-
tical fabrics and are using the simpler
methods for decorating them, as tucks,
frills, ribbon borders and narrow lin
gerie lace. For the street, wolfe is in
the lead, either plain or figured, en-
broidered or printed. Chiffon taffeta
is its closest rival and is often made
up with georgette crepe. Georgette
also redeems satin and makes II mid
summerlsh by supplying satin frocks
with sleeves, tunic or other details in
their composition that make them look
cool.
For dressier frocks organdy and
wolfe are both used and st. Gall
swisses with embroidered dots are re-
appearing at prices that are somewhat
lower than they were earlier In the
season. Wide tucks are In great favor
in wolfe and on organdy dresses. while
frills seem the natural order Of things
for both swiss and organdy. The lat
ter material is much used for collars,
cuffs, bands, sashes, fichus and frills
on dresses of other materials.

dress of white organdy at the left and

The organdy dress, worn by Irene Cas-
tie will help to uphold that talented
lady's envable taste in the selection
of clothes. Frills of lace make the
medalll0ns and other trimming in the

the deep cuff. The long sleeves and
collar high at the back are late inno-
vations In summer styles. A wide tuck
headed by a frlll of lace calls atten-
tion to the distended hip line and even
the crushed glrdle is of organdy with
little frlll of lace running along the

The pretty dress of plain wolfe at
the right has skirt covered by tiers
of narrow, scant fiounces and a plain
short sleeved bodice, ending In two
rufles at the natural waist line. What
makes this simple affair so chic is the
ribbon that borders all edges. 1t is
cleverly managed, showing the borders
of the fiounces finished with loops and
ends, on alternating flounces, at both
sides, small bows on the sleeves and
in the back at the end Of the shirring
about the waist line. II suits Its
Youthful wearer and is calculated to

This year a part of the peach crop
may be better graded at less expense
than heretofore by use Of new sizer
developed by government workers. Two
machines were built last year and test
ed under commercial conditions at
Leesburg, Va, and Mayfield, Ga. In
formation gained through these tests
was used in perfecting the present
machine, drawings Of which are now
available to all growers or manufac-
turers interested, according to an
nouncement by the bureau of markets.
The machine has several unique fea-
lures and advantages over existing
types of sizers which make 1t possible
TO handle fruit with less brulsing,
while its construction permits 10 TO 10
packers to work at one time, thus max
ing possible a run of two to three car
loads of peaches a day from each ma
chine, the amount depending on the
average quality of the fruit. The over
all dimensions of the machine are
24x15 feet. II requires an electric
motor of less than one horsepower ca
pacity, or a small gas engine, to ope-
rate II, and it can be run at half ca
pacity If desired. Under commercial
conditions ii should be sold at a price
not to exceed $3.50, according to esti-
mates of the designers.
How II Works.
The peaches from the orchard are
delivered on an inclined roller convey
or, on each side Of which sorters stand
and pick out culls and damaged fruit.
The rotation of the peaches on this
conveyor, which Is obtained without
brulsing, enables the sorters to see the
entire surface Of the fruit without
touching 1t. From this roller convey
or the peaches are delivered to two
sets OF ropes running over pulleys'
A simple lever arrangement permits
the adjustment of the spaces between
these ropes to accommodate any size
fruit II Is desired to grade. Although
the ropes diverge from each other I'M

Dutch colonial houses are having a
steadily Increasing popularity with
home builders They have the beauty
OF the colonial exterior, coupled with
the quaint roof treatment OF the homes
Of Holland, an architectural style that
was transplanted into this country in
colonial times. And coupled with these
advantages the Dutch colonial makes
possible great economy in the use of
the interior.
An excellent example of a shingled
Dutch colonial house is shown in the
accompanying Illustration. The CEN
trail entrance and the balanced win
dows, those on each side of the door
being duplicates, follow the colonial
while the roof treatment is essentially
Dutch.

set on concrete foundation, and its
outer walls are covered with shingles,

GIVE HOME GARDENS
BEST OF ATTENTION
Don't Put Away Rake and Hoe
Too Early in Season.
Surface Of Soil Should Be Lightly
Stirred and Kept Mellow--Finely
Slfted Manure Scattered Over
Seeds Is Excellent.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Here is q message for the tillers of
the thousands of home gardens al
ready planted in cities and the smaller
towns, and other thousands in process
of being planted. Let every gardener
remember that his work of food pro-
duction is only begun. Many amateurs
make the mistake of putting away
the rake and hoe as soon as they have
the seeds in the ground. The surface
Of the ground should be lightly stirred
with a rake and kept mellow before
the seeds come up. Often a week or
30 of extremely dry weather comes
after garden planting. This Is liable
to cause many of the smaller seeds
to fail TO terminate, or, II they germ
mate, they may not have enough
moisture TO keep them alive.
There are two or three ways of pre-
whiting loss. One is to use the sprink-
ling can and keep the surface lightly
watered until the seeds are up. An
other Is 10 lay board directly over
the row of seeds until they sprout
and are Just about ready to come
through the ground. II does not do
however, to leave the boards over the
row too long. as the little seedlings
on coming up against the boards viii
be bent out Of shape and weakened
sim another method is to scatter a
little fine, sifted manure. Here, also
care must be taken that the cover
ing is not too hesv., or the seedlings
win be injured when they come
through the ground.
A steel rake Is one Of the best tools
for euItivatIng the garden. because II
loosens the top inch or two OF the
soil. Before the plants are mp, break
the surface ever 50 gently over the
rows with the rake. After the plants
appear, use the rake frequently along
each side Of the row 10 keep the sol
loose and mellow.

floor plans. However. there are sew
eral features Of the Interior that de-
serve special mention.
The colonial balance Is preserved In
the interior. On either Side of the re-
ception hall, which is of good width,
are the living room and dining room.
The former is q large room, 10 by p
feet. The placing of the fireplace In
the center of the front wall is unusual,
but attractive. 1t is broad fireplace
and on either side are cases for books.
Double French doors on both sides Of
the fireplace lead to the porch. 1t
can be imagined how good this ar
rangement is when the porch is In
closed. The dining room is Ii by 10
feet, with buffet built into window
bay, the windows. of course, being
above. Triple windows, corresponding
with those in the living room, also con-
tribute to the cheeriness of this room.
The kitchen is 8 by 8 feet 9 inches,
and off II is a good-sized pantry, so ar
ranged that the icebox may be iced
from the rear porch.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, each a
corner room. The bath is placed at
