Stanch Favorite Fabric In Lovellest
CoIors--Must Be Embroidered to
Be In Style.

1t is delightful to see that real liner,
as transparent and filmy as the finest
of handkerchiefs, is being worn once
more, says Harper's Bazaar. In the
loveliest Of colors 1t is abroad on sum-
mer sands and lawns, but never as an
unadorned fabric; 1t is invariably en-
broidered either in fine white cotton
braid, in matching WOOL or In satin
ribbon. The ornamentation msy take
the form of small motifs applied at
equal distances, or Of single motif
covering the entire front of the skirt.
but ornamentation there must be.
There is one other mode of adorn-
ment for these frocks-broad bands
of perforatton exquisitely embroidered
often give the effect of entre-deux.
This renaissance of linen, however,
has by ru means submerged the popu-
&larity OF organdie, which Is used In
m.ny charming ways this season.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1920-09-09

boards are also hung about the collars
Of many suits and coats, giving bona
fide "beah,ded lady" effect.
Even the lines of the new dresses.
suits and coats are taken from the
East. The prevalent, sackish line OF
the new coats Is direct adaptation of
the Arabs burnous. Dresses display
the bolero as taken from the uniform
OF the Balkan soldier, and the flare
line of the new suit coats Is taken from
the uniform of the Greek soldier.
Evening gowns are very much la
Cleopatra. Black net embroidered In
an all-over scroll pattern In black silk
Is very popular, and the gay oriental
note is given by q rich girdle of velvet
or satin In many colors. Many Of these
girdles and sashes extend into q train.
Sol n0fet1lS trains are wired up so as
to form canopy behind milady. Do

held responsible for this fad--another
folly for which the FoIlies may be
blamed.

ORIENTAL TYPE
is POPULAR FAD
New York Fall Fashions Display
Note of Far East.
Suits Heavily broidered---Jungle Ef.
fects Are Supplied by Tufts
of Monkey Fur.

Fall fashion has its far and near
East problem. Shall the Serpent of
the Nile be the seasons flvorite daugh-
ter, and shall slinky, vampish robes of
gorgeous hue be styles demand, or
shall Helen of Troy, with white, flow
Ing and corded raiment, be the model
that the times demand? asks New
York fashion correspondent. What
ever the solution, today's Indications,
as seen In the smart shops Of Fifth
avenue or in the tawdry shops of the
Bowery, are that nothing In the realm
OF feminine raiment will be IL faut for
the coming season unless 1t bears some
earmarks of the Orient. Said ear
marks may be almost literal, for one
eastern note Is seen In earrings that
dingle-dangle from many smart lids.
Fall millinery fabric itself Is exotic
with rich stuffs such as abound In
Arabian Nights lore There are rich
brocades of purple or dusky rose, lus-
.trous satins of Algerian blue or Chi
nese crimson, stiff ribbons of metallic
thread interviewer with flower, bird
and butterfly gins, and even vel
vets embossed with rich embroderies
in gold and silver threads or incrusted
with seed pearls or rhinestones. And
from these gorgeous hats hang ear
rings of wooden beads In startling
hues or of black jet. or even real
sparkling gems.
Suits are heavily embroidered until
they resemble the coronation robe OF
some fairyland prince. Wool and silk.
metallic threads, jewels. colored hemp,
eor painted designs are used-in working
out this effect. Many Of the suits and
coats have the sleeves fairly embossed
I'm embr0ideries. and allover embroid-
lered bOdices are very common. Some
Iof the suits may be quite plain and
simple in themselves, but are fiecked
by the Orient with a vest Of some
gorgeous fabric or a neck chain sold
with the suit. Even appliques Of black
Oilcloth are strewn over many gar
ments, and hats are profuse with these
oilcloth splashings In gay colors.
A jungle effect Is supplied by tufts
of monkey fur. which Is the most mod
tsh trimming OF the season. Goats

Linen in Favor for Summer

Slips Of black silk or satin, or Of some
color, are often worn under full
length, sleevea tunics of organdie
which are left open In the front. Be
1t white. rose or Jade, the crisp trans
parent fabric is unutterably lovely
when thus combined
The chapeaux which surmount these
airy frocks are appropriately seduc-
tive. There is one that may be re-
called with joy; Of pale pink or
gtndie, generous In size and with
slightly rolled back brim, 1t was
wreathed uniquely with black and
white grapes. One can but note the
prevalence Of fruit as trimming for
hats. A broad-brimmed chapeau of
deep rose organdie Is encircled with
garland of white grapes; another Of
faintest mIize is adorned with black
cherries and with leaves of green cire
ribbon, while broad hats Of red horse
hair besf a luscious burden Of ripe
red Strawberries.

Cutting corn with machinery does
not reduce materially the cost of cut
ting. II does, however, enable the
farmer to cut a given acreage much
more quickly. and, In that way, often
proves profitable. The proper time for
cutting corn in order to preserve Its
full feeding value Is SO short and
other work is usually so pressing that
the saving of time often means a
great deal more In the farmers pocket
than could any actual saving in wages
and other cutting costs. This Is the
view taken of corn-harvesting ma
chinery by. the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, as expressed in
Farmers Bulletin 992. the Use Of Ma
chinery in Cutting Corn. The saving
Is greater in cutting corn for silage
than for fodder. the bulletin continues.
The two types of embarrassing
machinery, the corn binder and the
platform harvester, are discussed in
detail. Under normal conditions, It Is
stated, the binder drawn by three
horses will cut about seven acres In a
ten-hour days. One man will b. re-
quired to operate the machine and two
to shock the corn. These three men
working with corn kniyesswould prob
ably be able to cut about four acres
In ten-hour day. The binder, there
fore, does nearly twics~ass4.sach work
as the three men could do without 1t.
Objection to Binder.
There are, however, limitations and
objections to the use Of the binder II
the corn is badly blown down. the
binder may not be able to handle 1t
and may have to stand idle through a
season. The binder necessarily knocks
Off some of the ears, and 1t may be
necessary to send man over the
field to pick up the ears by hand. Men
at first find 1t harder t handle the
bundles from a binder than to hane.e
loose stalks. Some binders drop the
bundles so nearly behind the machine
that the horses have to walk over
them on the next round, and thus CEN
siderable damage Is done to the corn.
However, the specialists say, these OBJ
jections can be minimzed even where
they cannot be completely obviated.
In order to make the use of the
binder worth while, the reduction In
labor and the saving due to getting
the work done at the proper time
must more than pay for the use Of the
machine. the Irvine, and the labor OF
the horses.
The saving is greater when cutting
for silage, for several reasons. The
binder saves the labor of at least two
men in cutting. Often the saving In
time due to having the stalks In
bundles instead of loose will enable
the operator further to reduce the
size of the crew. If only small
amount Of silage is to be put up,
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1920-09-09

binder would not be paying opera
ton unless there were a large guam
tity of other corn to cut. The co-op-
erative use of both binder and cutter
Is discussed and is recommended
where the only corn cut Is that for
silage. Cooperative ownership and
use Of the binder Is said to be fire.
quently advantageous for small farm
ers. The use of the corn elevator In
connection with the binder Is dis
cussed and both the advantages and
disadvantages pointed out.
s Platform Harvester Cheaper.
The platform harvester, while a
cruder machine than the binder. Is
much less expensive to purchase, re-
quires only one horse instead Of three
or four, and two men instead of
three. It's days work Is about four
or five acres. Generally, the equiva-
lent Of the labor OF one man Is saved
every day the platform harvester is
used The work Is harder with the
platform harvester than with the
binder. But the platform harvester
can be used more profitably on small
farms than can a binder and It can
stand idle greacr part OF the time
or wear out sooner than d binder and
still be profitable inya
