BLOUSE IN STYLE
Old Shirt Waist Has Developed
Into Real Necessity.
Present Day Garment Often Rea
Work of Art; Now Jewel of the
Wardrobe,

It is indeed a far cry back to the
old-fashioned shirt waist, which served
to set the pace or blaze the trail for
the varied procession of blouses that
have followed each other down the
passing years.
The first blouse was really a serene
1y tailored shirt" worn with a high
collar sometimes attached. Oftentimes
it was stiff, mannish affair, far from
comfortable and seldom really becom-
ing. A cravat or scarf was it's accom-
paniment. However, as time passed,
the shirt or blouse became more dis
tinctly feminine, and today it is often
a real work of art-the jewel of the
wardrobe.
Figured foulard blouses are being
shown for the spring and summer, and
very attractive they are. Figured ma
.terials lend themselves best to the
simplest of style designs. The woman
who wants to make her own blouses,
but is not sufficiently skilled to work
out elaborate fashion ideas, may do
very well with lace-which requires
only care in matching the pattern, add
ed to good workmanship-and with fig
ured silks, which will reward her with
satisfactory results when the same
| points are considered and observed.
In determining the question of color

True love is not passion; no noble
thing is. There is too much caprice
about a passion TO term it love. 1t Is
the one thing N the world that is con-
stant, or the world with all its beauty
of forms and sweet suggestiveness
would fall to pieces. 1t cannot well be
defined, but it can be illustrated in
thousand ways. 1t is the fulfilling of
the law and its work is the perception
Of goodness and the preservation of
truth. Love casts a veil, not of mys-
ticism, but of beauty, over the natural
features of earth, blending all in an
atmosphere of sacred loveliness, soft
ening down all ruggedness and permit
ting the quiet grace of the less assert
tive to whisper forth their inspira-
tions to the listening ear. Her brows
are crowned with the pure gold of sim
cerity, her body covered with light as
with a garment. Girdled is she with
the girdle of truth, and her feet shod
with the sandals of peace. Love
wields no sceptre, her presence is a
benediction.

WAY OF THE TAFFETA FROCK
Garment Takes On Almost School
Girl Air When 1t Is of
Navy Silk.

The way Of the taffeta frock is
long this season, but for all it's Quips
and frills it does descend quite often
to a certain tailored primness oppro-
pirate for the street. Thus it takes
on almost a schoolgirl air when it
is of navy silk, very soft with ac-
contemplated skirt long straight
the side seams, a yoke extending over
to the kimono sleeves, and prim lit
tie round collar of itself divided
front and back. The thing that re-
deems it from monotony is clever use
of lighter blue picoted ribbon which
is folded over the collar, sleeves and
bodice edges to make a unique narrow
trimming.
The outstanding features Of the taf-
feta frocks-and no pun at that-are
the bonffant hip effects. Whether
these effects are gained by pockets,
panniers, or what, at least there is al
ways a suggestion. Vests are seen
quite often, ruffles or shirring encircle
the skirt frequently. Altogether the
1920 girl is perky and pretty in her
taffeta frock.
While a great many navy taffetas
in the palmer frocks are in evidence,
the taffeta shade Of greatest favor
seems to be brown. This is good
news, for one does like to change from
navy serge or tricot to another color,
and those beige and sand-colored tri-
cots and gabardines of which few
very good-looking street frocks are
made are not becoming or serviceable
enough for the majority Of US.

HOW LINEN MAY BE BLEACHED
Clothes Should Be Soaked Twenty.
Four Hours In Water to Which
Borax Is Added.

Linen which has become an ugly
shade owing to bad washing can be
improved by bleaching. Soak the
clothes for "a hours in water in which
a tablespoonful of borax to every
gallon has been dissolved. Then wash
them thoroughly in hot water. Wiring
out, place in the boiler, cover with
cold water, add a pound Of soap cut
in shreds to every four gallons, a
handful Of soda and a tablespoonful
of cloudy ammonia or turpentine.
Bring slowly to the boil and leave for
about fifteen minutes. Do not put too
many things in at once, as the articles
must have sufficient room to toss
about. Turn them into a tub, cover
them with the water in which they
were boiled and leave them to cool.
Wiring the water slightly from them
and spread in the sun or hang up to
dry, Sprinkle from time to time with
water as they dry. When good color
is obtained rinse in several tepid wa
ters. blue them and dry again.

THINNING IMPROVES
VALUABLE WOODLAND
Lack OF Proper Treatment Is
Cause of Much Loss.
Farmer Should Take Steps to Give
Trees Sufficient Light and Soil
Moisture for Them to Thrive
and Become Profitable.

Lack of proper thinning and cutting
Is a common cause of woodlands be-
ing Improbable, according to a recent
bulletin entitled, Making Woodlands
Profitable in the Southern States" is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture. Nature usually over
crowds trees in a given space, says
this publication, and so steps should
be taken to give them sufficient light
and soil moisture to thrive and become
profitable.
BY properly controlling the number
of trees on a tract it is possible to in
crease their rate of growth and eventu-
ally their size. Except for the produc-
ton of cordwood, a few large trees on
given area are usually more desira-
BILE than many small ones. If possible,
valuable kinds of wood should be
grown In preference to common woods
which bring lower prices. Woodlands

Dyed Lace.

There is much use of dyed lace. In
fact, by dyeing the lace to match the
frock on which it is worn it can be
used with much more variety than in
the old way. To be sure, when you
use undyed lace over another color
you have a better opportunity to see
it's delicate design, but that does not
seem to worry the fashionable woman
Of today who is willing to pay for
more expensive laces without concern
ing herself to show off their delicate
design. In fact, she wears her lace
quite differently from the way lace
used to be worn. Once, you know,
lace was usually applied in smooth
piece, collar or bolero, or as strips,
but now even costly lace is plated or
looped up and used with the most
amazing lavishness.

OUTFIT FOR SECOND WEDDING
Gown Must Be Youthful and Dis
creetIy Gay; Veil Must Be
Worn With Hat.

The church costume for the second
wedding has come to have a new
charm 1t must, however, be a gown
of nice distinction. For the second
wedding all that tends to display must
be avoided. Yet the gown must be
youthful and discreetly gay. 1t is
neither an afternoon nor an evening
gown, but an individual costume for
this special occasion.
French brides are wearing gowns
made of soft-colored satin and chif-
fons, since the white gown is out Of
place.
For the church ceremony the veil
is an essential, but it differs from that
Of the first wedding in that it must
always be worn with hat. It may be
draped as a mantilla or as a slight
veil reaching to the eyes.
Another essential to the costume OF
remarriage is the prayerbook. For.

old and precious book that has long
been cherished as the family treas

CONTROL OF SOIL DISEASES
Next to Seed Treatment Rotation Is
Best Way to Destroy Wilt and
Rot Spores.

With the possible exception of seed
treatment, there is no farm practice,
which, from the plant disease point of
view, gives greater returps on the in
vestment than crop rotation, is the
assertion of Prof. J. G. Leach of the
Colorado Agricultural college. There
are great many plant diseases such
as willis and root rots for which no
specific remedy is known and which
can be held in check only by the com.
bined practices of seed selection, seed
treatment, and crop rotation. These
diseases become worse and worse each
year the crop is grown in the same
soil, and each one taking their annual
toll accounts for considerable loss to
the farmer.
A system Of crop rotation entails al
most no expense other than a little
forethought and planning. The re-
turns in disease-free crops pay for
this trouble many times over, not to
speak of the added gain in soil fer
tility.

there is every inducement to clear out
the inferior trees-diseased, dying,
crooked and less valuable kinds. Right
cutting also includes the removal Of
large. sound trees whose growth Is
slow because they are nearing or have
reached maturity. The cutting should
be done only at a time of favorable
market conditions or when building or
other timber is needed on the farm.

MATERIALS FOR SPORT WEAR
crepes, Voiles, Japanese SILK, Linen
Among Favored Fabrics-Many
Colors Are Used.

The materials for sport blouses may
be almost anything. Crepes, voiles'

good. Japanese crepe is popular this
year for the smock, and it takes kind
ly to marvellous worsted embroideries.
Batik is another invention sought out
by the sport designer, and certainly
nothing can be more effective than the
blouse trimmed in this wise.
Among the colors most seen for
sport wear may be mentioned first of
all, copper, that tint which has raw
aged almost every domain OF dress.

henna, ciel, blue and rose, is met with
constantly in everything from the

ARSENICALS FOR
KILLING WORMS
Annual Loss From Cabbage Pest
ConSeNativeIy Estimated
at $1,300,0o0.
NOT DIFFICULT 70 CONTROL
Arsenate Of Lead and Paris Green Are
Preferable to Other PoIsons-
Number Of sprayings Depends
on Conditions.

l(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Arsenicals are being generally used
to control the cabbage worm. There
are now few instances of the total de-
struction Of crops of cabbages as was
formerly often the case. Neverthe-
less, conservative estimate would
place the present annual loss from this
pest TO cabbage alone-not including
caulinower and other related crops
at S1,30OOO0, or one-tenth the value
of the entire crop.
The cabbage worm is not difficult
to control, and 1t should be borne in
mind that most other cabbage pests,
more often present than not, will be
controlled by the same methods.
Poisons Preferred.
Repeated experiments have shown
that arsenate of lead and paris green
are preferable to other arsenicals in
common use. If paris green is used
It may be applied either wet or dry
preferably, however, as a spray, at the
rate of one pound to 80 gallons of wa.
ter. The plants should be free from
insect attnck when they are set out
and should be sprayed a few days later
to make sure that the poison reaches
the young caterplllars before they have
burrowed far into the heads. Other
applications should follow as inspec-
ton of plants shows that they are nee.
essary.
These applications of arsenlcals can
be made with absolute safety even af
ter the heads are formed, as the poison
disappears from plants almost com
pletely within two to three weeks af
ter application, and even earlier in
event Of repeated or heavy rainfall.
Increased Cost
Scarcity of paris green has increased
the cost. Arsenate of lead has beer

other arsenicals as an insecticide ant

along the path of the centuries had
almost lost the cigarette, found it
again in England, and so it came back
to US.
For a time most cigarettes were
made from the Turkish leaf. Then it
was discovered that the bright Amer
ican tobacco, now grown in Virginia,
the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee.
made an agreeable cigarette. Even
tually cigarette making machinery was
invented, and today American ciga-
rettes, both straight" and offended"
are smoked all over the world.
In 1868 not enough cigarettes were
consumed in the United States to be
subjected to the internal revenue tax.
In recent years the increase has been
by billions. From 1899 to 1914 it was
500 per cent. In the past two years
the demand has advanced prodigiously,
probably largely because of the war.
In 1910, for the first time, the man.
ufacture of cigarettes exceeded that of
cigars. their relative numbers being
S,500000.000 and S.000000,000- Since
then, while cigarettes have multiplied
cigars have just about stood still. In
| the year ended June 30, 1919 the num-
Der Of cigarettes was 46,500,000,O
| and of cigars approximately S,000,0O0.-
600, as in 1910 For the first time more
leaf tobacco went into cigarettes than
| 100000 pounds and 162,000,000
pounds.
The government derived from the in
ternal revenue tax on tobacco $206 6003,-
O91, an increase of $40 Sab over the
preceding year. More than $95,500, 900
of the tobacco money came from ciga-
rettes. Recently the tobacco tax has
been heavily increased.
Altogether we used 497, ,079,920
pounds of tobacco last year. We got
away with 174,697,4O pounds Of plug
II, ,499, ,465 pounds of twist, 9,909,2 ,225
pounds of fnecut, 257, 500, ,440 pounds
Of smoking tobacco and 37,1SO,3S2
pounds of snuff.
The value of the tobacco crop to the
farmer was estimated last year al
$542, ,547,0 ,000 The average price he got
for 1t was 80 cents a pound. He gets
more now.
