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

1t 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
~ tailored Shirt" worn with a high
collar sometimes attached. OftentimeS
it was a stiff, mannish affair, far from
comfortable and seldom really becom-
ing. A cravat or scarf was its 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,

PLANS OF WORK FOR
CONTROL OF BEETLE
Quarantine Against Insect win
Be RigidIy Enforced.
Poisoning With Sodium Cyand in Wa
ter Will Be Practiced on Soils Bad
ly Infested With Larvae or
Grubs-Nets to Be Used.

At a recent conference of officials OF
the United States department of agri-
culture and the New Jersey depart
ment of agriculture, held at RiYertOn,
plans of work for the control and sup
preston of the japanese beetle were
thoroughly gone into. Provision has
been made thoroughly to inspect and
certify products found free from the
insect, including greenhouse and
nursery stocks, fruits. vegetables and
.arm crops. While the quarantine
will be -;gidly enforced, it is believed
that no serious interruption will result
to the movement of most farm and
Other products from the infested ter
ritOry. In control of the beetle, sew
eraI methods Of attack will be fol
lowed. Poisoning with sodium cyanid
in water of such soils as are badly in
tested with the larvae or grubs will be
practiced. Several million beetles, it
is believed, can be captured by sweep
ing infested plants with nets. A band
of vegetation from one-half to one
mile wide surrounding the infested
area will be kept thoroughly poisoned
with insecticides sprayed or busted on
the plants. To prevent accidental
carriage of the beetles on automobiles
and other vehicles and on pedestrians,
the roadways have been cleared, by
grubbing and burning Of food plants
of the beetle The weed food plants
will be kept down by the use of large
quantities of weed-killing chemicals.
Attention is being given to the intro
duction of parasites of the beetle from
Japan. An agent of the bureau of
entomology is already in Japan. en-
gagged upon the work.
The officials connected with this
project believe that the operations of
1920 will pretty definitely indicate
what can be expected from laree-scale
operationsin suppression of the beetle

Sex and Muscular Strength

Two women graduates of Leland

been Investigating the comparative
muscular strength of men and women
They have reached the general con-
clusion that any difference that exist
in this matter is not due to sex as
such, but to differences in the use of
the muscles. brought about By. the
conventional limitations Of activity or
by dress. Thus women's back muscles
are stronger than mems because their
clothes ere largely buttoned in the
back. Certain of their arm muscles
are also stronger. owing TO the fact
that they do up their hair, and also
because the heavy coat sleeves of men
limit the freedom of action of these
muscles.
On the other hand, the forearm OF
men is better developed than that OF
women. because women wear tight

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 its quips
and frlls 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
bodice with tie back ends issuing from
the side seams. yoke extending over
to the kimOno sleeves, and a 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 taft
feta frOcks-and no pun at that-are
the bouffant hip effects Whether
these effects are gained by pockets,
panniers, or what at least there is al
ways 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 sandcolored tri-
cots and gabardines of which few
very good-loOking street frocks are
made are not becoming or service able
enough for the majority of US.

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. 1t 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
tunate is the bride who can carry an
old and precious book that has long
been cherished as the family treas

An organized competition among

in vegetable. fruit. and flower grow

desire to have a horticultural show or
a garden competition, but who do not
know exactly how to conduct one, is

sued by the department of agriculture.
The methods given in it are those
which experience has proved to be
easiest and best Among the subjects
treated are classification of entries, the
exhibits. the points observed in judg-
ing various horticultural exhibits, and
the prizes offered.
Scope of the Exhibits.
An organization already in exist

farmers club, a grange, a garden or
horticultural club, or a boys and girls
club, may father q horticultural ex-
hibit or a group may be brought TO-
gether especially for the purpose.
Once organized. this circular suggests,
the first step is to outline the scope
of the exhibit. Competitions to be in
teresting must be fair and equitable.
In order to make them so, competitors
with similar opportunities should be
matched against one another. The ex-
hibits should be divided into as small
units as possible, SO that the person
with only few square feet of ground
may show such products as he may
grow. in even co npetition with like

argument where he had broken it,
carried it along with a sureness that
displayed an irreproachable knowledge
of the subject in hand. When he fin

products produced by larger gardens.
\ large number of small exhibits in
stead of few large ones favor a sue
cessful show. An important point is
to have the premium list made up
early, preferably before seeds are or
dered. Exhibits should be attractively
staged, the entries for a class being
kept together. Both classes and indi-
vidual entries should be plainly and
appropriately labeled.
Helpful Competition.
Vegetable, fruit, and flower gardens
or the home grounds of a community
may be fairly classed and judged.
These make most helpful community
competitions.
Token prizes instead of those of in
trinsic value are all that is necessary
for successful competitions.
When the time of the show APP
proaches the eXct date must be fixed.
and this should not be changed. If it
is done it may provoke a feeling of I'M
fairness.
Where competitions of any of the
types discussed in the departments
Circular 60 have been held, they have
been found not only to stimulate al
terest in gardening and home adOrn-
ment, but even more to get neighbors
acquainted with one another and de-
velop community spirit.
An exhibition requires considerable
effort, but it is usually felt to be well
worth while, even by those upon whom
the heaviest burden falls.

TIMOTHY Is LOW IN PROTEIN

Farmer Can Grow-Cannot Be
Compared With Alfalfa.

More timothy hay is grown in the
United States than all other hays COM
bined and yet timothy is one of the
poorest livestock feeds that the farm
er can raise. Its value for feeding
purposes cannot he compared with
clover or alfalfa. 1t is low in protein,
the nutrient upon which farmers and
more especially dairymen must to a
large extent rely for the besr returns
from their herds; it is not very pala-
table to live stock, except, perhaps,
to horses. and it has an undesirable
cOnstipating effect upon all classes Of
animals. Furthermore, 1t yields less
than clover or alfalfa. and it is fer
tility destroyer instead of a soil build
er. All things considered, it has very
little to commend it.

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
its 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, a collar or a bolero, or as strips,
but now even costly lace is plated or

1t was in the following December,

duced to Symington Otis. This day
was a notable one for renewing casual
acquaintance.
The past year. although 1t had
added not a little to his capital, had
failed to carry Fitzhugh as high as
he had intended it should. He had
suffered many reverses, for his reck-
less habit Of plunging often carried
him backward as well as forward. But
these setbacks, if keenly disappoint-
ing, were not discOuraging. nor were
they Improbable. He learned by
each of them, using them as stepping
stones. He never made the same mis-
