THESE "all-day" dresses have given
= us something that is new and in
creasingly interesting to think about.
Just how close a second they will final
ly run to the suit and to the tailored
skirt and separate skirt, is something
not to be foretold, especially since the
new models show that manufacturers
are taking advantage of the liking for
smocks in designing them. To the
women who spend most Of their time
in tailor-made clothes they offer the
spice of variety-a change from blouse
and skirt or tailored coat and skirt. Be
sides, more of them offer possibilities
in remodeling suits that the thrifty
are not going to overlook.
Two very fine models in all-day
dresses will not have to ask twice for
the attention of alert women. They
are pictured here and hardly need de-
scription. In both of them the skirt
and smock idea Is carried out. 1t has

exquisite things that come to light
within the home, is to leave out many
lovely luxuries. But since everything
cannot be described, a few accessories
for formal dress are selected and pic
tured here.

them off the Spanish comb and long

satin sparkling with spangles. Sticks
Of mother of pearl or of tortoise are
not among the things that have "come
back" because they have never been
away. But in the picture ara OLD
timey lace mits with a flavor of two
generations ago, when they were worn
by fine and gentle ladies. Little van
ity boxes are more modern; gold
and enameled one and pair Of cut
steel buckles show themselves in COM
pany with the lace mits of yesterday,
all belonging in the bright assemblage
of today's luxuries.

PAsTURAGE CUTS FEED BILLS
Cost of Pork Production Can Be Re-
duced by Providing Suitable
Pasture for Hogs.

Farmers can reduce the cost of pork
production next year by providing a
suitable pasture for their hogs, says
". III. Peters of the animal husbandry
division, University farm. Most pas
lure grasses are rich in protein. The
call for high grain rations is therefore
less urgent a matter to be taken into
consideration in these days Of falling
prices for hogs and pigs. Alfalfa and
bronze grass are best for growing pigs,
but no matter how good pasture is
some grain must be fed if the hogs
are to thrive and make profitable gains.

i,nerick,s Claims to Fame.

Limerick has been linked up with
other things besides verses and medi-
eval conquest. Limerick laces were
at one time renowned, until they were
so widely copied that their originality
was lost. Today Limerick is famous
chiefly for bacon and pretty girls. The
natives claim the very preftiest Irish
girls grow up in Limerick. AS for the
bacon, $4,000 pigs are killed in the
town yearly, and yet pigs swarm in its
streets, yards and houses. Limerick
bacon and ham seldom reach the
American table, but throughout the
British isles they are regarded as the
best in the world.

about it. In this model a plain skirt IL
set onto an underbodice that carries
the sleeves. A light silk serves for
this with underarm pieces and, sleeves
of the cloth. Two straight pieces OF
cloth having inverted plaits down the
center are fastened to the underbody
at the waistline, with snap fasteners
Below the waistline they hang free, re-
vealing> he skirt st the sides. Squares
of embroidery al the front of smock
and skirt exactly suit the tailored dress
for which they make a handsome
finish.
If one has in mind remodeling an old
dress or making skirt do double duty
she cannot do better than to carry out
a scheme like that shown in the second
dress. This is a short smock, banded
with satin ribbon like the skirt in color
and ornamented with satin-covered
buttons and an all-over braided pat
tern. Henna-colored jersey cloth with
dark-blue braid and ribbon is a fine
combination for the smock to be worn
over plain blue cloth skirt.

one Of the very best things that

they. were doubtless. OF some value
TO the community. but their useful
ness in serving the purpose for which

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-Repre-
sentative Kahn of California has an
nounced that the California delega-
ton Of Congress is considering the
matter OF extending the provisions OF
the law prohibiting the holding OF
land in that state by Asiatic aliens so
as to include all foreigners. The ap-
plication of the present anti-alien land
law TO all foreigners would nullify the
Japanese protest against the measure
as discriminatory to the mikado
subjects, IL is pointed out. II would
also act as a check against increas-
ing the already large British oil hold
ings in California.
1t is intimated that Japan's report
ed withdrawal OF her protest against
the law is because Great Britain is
worried over the future of her oil IN
terests in California. Pressure could
have been exerted by Great Britain
on Japan to withdraw the protest, Z
