cused of being the most eXtravagant
and wasteful of civilized people.
This season there is a good chance
to economic in millinery because
hats include many shapes that were
worn last year, or even in earlier sea-
sons. Sailor shapes, wide brimmed
leghorns, some of the ''cloche" or
dropping brimmed hats as well as
toques and turbans of former sea-
sons need only q little alteration to
make them entirely up-tO-date. The
light colors that have become soiled,
may be vanished with darker color,
or black, and it is the simplest thing
in the world to do this work at home.
There are several stains or varnisheS
on the market, usually for sale in
drugstores, that are easy to apply.
The vogue for dotted Swiss organdie
in facings and trimmings suggests
one way of bringing the hats of yes
ter year up-to-date. These materials
are used over straw shapes and to
make entire hats. Collars and cuffs
to match the hat, made of the same
Swiss or organdie, add the smartest
kind of touch to a street outfit. Of
course, every woman has right to
one new hat in the spring, but she
is entitled to others ii she is clever
enough to make them herself and one
hat will hardly answer all purposes.
Even if it would there is pleasure in
a little variety in ones headwear.

TTOW ATTRACTIVELY QUILTED
Il l. for summer time promenade is
the beautiful girl pictured here! She
has arrived at stunning appearance
by employing simple means, and in
this case the character Of the fabric
used is almost altogether responsible
for the success OF the costume. This
is one of many spring suits made of
heavy fiber silk, which are vieing with
those of wool materials in the spring
displays. These silks have brilliant
luSter and are woven in many novel
patterns employing one or two colors.
They have been used heretofore for
sports wear, more than for any other,
but progress in weaving them has
opened a new field of usefulness and
they are delighting designers by sup
plying a new and wonderful medium
for street and formal suits.
There is a great variety of weaves
In this modern silk the crepe and
ribbed effects predominating, with
many new drop-stitch designs. These
new weaves inspire designers to fur

quite out of the question and this &C.
counts for the simplicity which is so
effective in suits and costumes that
are made of colorful or lustrous fabrics.
In the suit pictured two tones Of
color, gray and green, both in rather
dark shades, are woven in plain crepe
and checkerbOard pattern. The plain
weave makes the skirt and is used
on the coat in collar and girdle. The
collar merges into a facing below the
waist-line. There is nothing to de-
scribe in the suit that may not be
gathered from the picture. It's very
long, close-fitting sleeves with fascinat-
ing frills of lace falling over the
hands and the plated jabot Of wide,
net-top lace, that plays the part of a
vest at the front, are details that cam
not be spared from this design.
Hat, shoes, stockings and parasol
have all been carefully selected for
this suit The hat in light gray and
dark green has a spice of black in mar
row bands of patent leather, to give
it sparkle. Shoes and stockings are
gray and green predominates in the
parasoI where bands of black repeat
the black note in the hat.

LITTLE CHANGE IN PHYSIQUE
Report That Average Stature of Amer
lean Men Was Affected by War
Declared Untrue.

The wholesale clothing manufactur-
ers assert that there has not been any
change in the size Of their garments
since the war. They are manufactur-
ing more garments, but the proportion
Of larger sizes is no greater now than
it was three years ago. In short, their
size patterns have not changed. Yet
changes would be necessary if the stat
ure of American men had been affect
ed in any appreciable way by the year
and a half or two years Of military
training.
Manufacturers of ready-to-wear
shirts and undergarments agree with
the clothing manufacturers that there
has been no change in their size pat
terms despite the reports Of numerous
individuals who take "a size larger"
today than they did before the war.
AS one manufacturer put it, the pro-
portion of soldiers who need larger
sizes in shirts or suits today than they
did two years ago is so small that it
has no effect on wholesalers. Sales
men naturally remember certain indi-
vidual cases of increased chest develop
ment, but, taking the country by and
large, there has been no appreciate
change in the physique of the male
portion of the population, at least as
far as their clothing is concerned.

A nature study and biology teacher

"Organic matter is when you have
something the matter with your or

"Five devices by which seeds are

to talk in low whispers, he said that
16 years ago he came to the United
States from Vienna, leaving wife
and children behind and promising to
send for them when he had saved
enough to buy a small farm.
Then the war came on and his plans
were thwarted AS soon after the
armistice as he was able to get in
communication with his wife he re-
ceived a letter in which she said she
would come to him if he would send
$1,000 for transportation. He sent the
money, but never heard from her
again. Finally he wrote to relatives
of the woman, who told him she had
married another man.

THIS NEST MAKES HENS LAY
Egg Drops, Then Bell Rings Up the
OWner-There Are Few
False Alarms. aH

St. LOUISA bell rang in the
kitchen of the home of Robert w.
Maxton of this city, and was followed
by the cackling of proud hen.
There's someone at the door" "a
visitor suggested.
"Oh, no." replied Mr.. MaXton. "One
of my hens has just laid an egg"
Mr.. MaxtOn was tired of supporting
hens that would not lay, he explained,
so he installed trick nests in his
hennery.
When a hen enters a nest, door
closes and imprisons the fowl until
released by the owner. In this way
Mr.. Maxton asccrtains what hens are
laying the eggs.
An electric alarm is connected to
the doors of the nests, and when a
hen seeks exit by pressing against
one of the doors, the bell in the
kitchen rings.
The plan has worked successfully
for several months, Mr.. Maxton said,
and there have been no false alarms.

each end. The button should be large
enough, of course, not to slip through
the tape.

TT NBLEACHED domestic cotton, in
~ the heavy, strong qualities, is
among the reliable things that the
high cost of living has brought into
new uses. A few women have made
themselves bungalow aprons and house
dresses of it for summer wear and
it proves surprisingly attractive with
a little simple needlework as its fin
ish. Where it proves most useful is
in attire for little folks in dresses
and slips or aprons. The natural col
or makes a fine background for little
figures worked in croSsStitch on peck
cts or belts-bunnieS, chickens, birds,
kittens and other small friends of
the youngsters.
In the matter of price, for several
things, the steady upward progress
appears to have reached the point
where women balk at paying it. They
are demanding less expensive millinery
for one thing and are determined to
do without silk garments unless the
prices become stable and less ex-
horbitant for silk fabrics. In few
cities, leagues have been formed
whose members pledge themselves to
wear their clothes until they are worn
out. Suits and dresses of wool are
remodeled and worn with good grace
since it is hard to get reliable goods
even at the increased prices. Shoes
are maintained by journeys to the
ronair Shon-where new half SOleS
and rehabilitated heels, give them a
prolonged term of service. These
economies are enforced in most cases,
but it is "a good thing that American
women are going through this ex-
