NEW LAcES ARE YOUTHFUL
Material Affords Ideal Summary Eve
ming Gowns and Enhances Grace
of Youthful Silhouettes.

What could be more youthful or
more charming than the dainty, filmy-
colored laces offered for our admira-
ton? They make ideal summary eve
ming gowns and more than anything
yet created enhance the slim grace Of
young silhouettes. The laces of this
season were most certainly designed
for youth! The new shades, so soft,
are exquisitely becoming. Lace is, in
itself, enough ornamentation and in
consequence dresses of this delightful
stuff should be absolutely trimming
less.
A charming frock worn by one of
the guests at a recent fashionable
wedding was fashioned of fine cream
colOred silk net with edgings Of
graceful design worn over an under
slip of citrOn messaline satin. The
bodice was exceedingly snug, the short
sleeves and yoke being cut in one.
In contrast to the severity Of the
corsage was the widely bouffant skirt
Of Spanish origin. The girdle of cit
ron tulle had floating draperies fall
ing over the sides Of the skirt. swing
ing a long tassel at each end.

FRlLLS OF FASHION

Plaid taffeta Is used for sport skirts.
Nearly all new blouses are made of
hip length and slip on over the head.
Plated ruffles of white organdie
trim some very pretty black satin
frocks.
Drawnwork is often the only trim
ming of imported crepe de chine
gowns.
Soft black chantilly lace is charm
ing over white satin. This cembina-
ton makes adorable evening GOWNS.
Silk friRges are very much in evil
dence just now. We see them on
dresses, coats, hats, handbags and
even gloves.
The Egyptian sash tied in front
and held in place with a jeweled orna-
ment is still seen on some imported
evening frocks.
New collar seen on many new
wraps is very deep at the side, on
the shoulders and quite narrow at the
front and back.
Calico is used for a number Of
quaint summer frocks. Calico, COM
bined with linen, makes attractive gar
den or porch dresses.
Many new dresses have widely
flaring skirts, the fullness placed on
the side, while front and back remain
just as fiat as possible.
The new sport suits have brightly
coIored Jackets with white skirts
trimnned with vida hands of tho coI
ored material, to match the coat.
Attractive afternoon summer dresses
will be made of printed chiffon. This
new chiffon is very striking, decor
ated with huge flowers and queer
butterflies worked out on a rather
dark background.

lar Fad in Paris.
Summer FrocIes Made Up Of the Com
bination Which Has Been De-
clared Good Taste.

There is a run on black and white
this season. One sees it on all sides
and in many different circumstances.
One of the most successful entertain
ments which had ever been given in
Paris, writes a correspondent, was the
Black and White ball, which came off
recently at the Theater DIES Champs
Elysees.
1t was immensely brilliant and
everyone admired the black and white
walls and pillars, which made such an
effective background for the exquisite
and beautifully dressed women who
crowned the big theater.
In one lovely model white organdie
and black satin were combined with
great success. The whole front of
the dress was organdie-a series Of
gauffered frills arranged in neat rows
with black ball buttons running right
down the front. This was an exceed
ingly chic model, the perfection of
good taste and elegance.
One white model has short sleeves.
This is an important point. Inf1uen-
tial dress experts assert that high
necks and long sleeves were to be "the

mer, milk could be produced at much
less cost, there being required COM
paratively small amount of concen-
trates.
During the two years covered by
the study, 44.5 per cent Of each years
income from milk was obtained dur
ing the winter. During the first year
records were obtained on IL herds
having an average size of 31.3 cows,
with an average annual production Of
1859 pounds of 3.74 per cent milk
per COW. During the second year IS
herds, Is Of which had been in the
first years work, had an average
Of 28.6 COWS and produced an aver
age of 1928 pounds of $50 per cent
milk per COW. From each 100 cows

months PERIOD and AZ during the
summer season, while three cows did
not calve during the year. Nearly
One-half Of the cows freshening
dropped their calves during the
months from February to May, in
elusive.
Most of the milk in this section is
sold for condensing purposes, and is
delivered by motor truck to large con-
denseries. All the herds selected for
study were representative of dairy
conditions found in that section.
In western Washington the pasture
plays very important part in milk
production, according to the bulletin.
With cool weather throughout most Of
the summer, plenty of moisture, and
rich soil, there is abundant pasture
until late in the fall. During the pas
ture season almost 60 per cent of the
milk for the year was produced, and
at one-thlrd of the yearly feed, bed
ding, and pasture cost. The annual
pasture charge per COW amounted to
IL acres or $23.04. Such items as
fees, medicine disinfec-
tants, and other items, amounted to
$1.45 per COW per year. 1t was found
that the number of hours required
to care for a COW did not differ mate
rally between the summer and win
ter seasons. However, due to the in
creased flow Of milk in summer, the
time required to produce 100 pounds
Of milk in that season was materially
less in summer than in winter

AMONG THE DRESS NOVELTIES
Trains Cascade Down over the Arms
Fashions in Fans to Suit the
Various Types.

Trains may do anything this sea-
son-one of the newest ines is that
which starts at the square-necked
front Of the corsage and cascades
down over the arms in place Of
sleeves. This is a delightful depart
ure from the court train which swings
from the back shoulders.
Fashions in fans are myriad-select
one which suits your type. Cock feath-
ers, lustrous and incandescent of color
are new and clever, ostrich feathers
are still good for the fluffy woman,
and for the tall, Turing woman, who
would wave a wicked weapon, there
are the peacock feathers.

ROME, Dec. 30-(By the AssOc:- ated Press) The total liabilities ot the Banca Italiana di ScOntO, which closed its doors Thursday, and today was granted a moratorium of one year III which to endeavor to straigiten out it's financial tangles, wi;i react four billion lire.
 This fact became known today by the publication of d petition or tre bank for a moratorium. The petition added that the moratorium would en- able the institution to tide over it's presen financial crisis anu that tne bank anticipated complete re-estab- lishment of it's credit. The petitlCn attributed tLe situation of the bank tC the general European economic breakdown.
 The history of the bank was out lined in the petition for the moratoI ium. Before 1915, it had a capital of 15,000,000 lire. Then. by leaps and bounds. the capital was increascu Cur ing the war and in 1919 it had reached 315.000,O00 lire.

STOCK MARKET
By The Associated Press)


 NEW YORK, Dec. 30-The stock exchanges final fall session of the year was marked by conflicting and cratic fluctuations. Heavy cash sales to meet income tax returns occurred in many of the low-priced issues but representative rails and favorite in- dustrials were comparatively strong, though dull in contrast with ine ac- tivity shown by speculative issues.
 Opinions from authoritative sources dealing with general conditions in the coming year sounded a note of optimism, especially in relation to commercial and industrial prospects.
 These were borne out by overnight developments, such as the strengthen ing of the financial position of the Sears Roebuck company, further fa- yorable November railroad earnings and advices from Montana indicating early resumption of operations in the copper mines.
 Money rates stiffened in conse- quence of unexpectedly large renewals into 1922. Opening at per cent, call loans rose to 51A at noon with TUT ther advance to 6 per cent in the last hour.
 Sears ROebuck was the prominent feature of the day, although it's ex- treme advance of slightly more than z points was reduced to 43s at the close. Studebaker, Rahway Steel SprIng, American Ice, WOolworth and sugars were among the other stocKs to show substantial net gains. Sales amounted to 775,000 shares.
 Trading in foreign exchanges was larger than at any recent period and the strong tone suggested more en- couraging view of European economic conditions. Sterling bills were at the weeks highest level, and all allied quotations were firm, the Italian rate making full recovery, Dutch and Scan- dinavian quotations were 10 to 20 points higher.
 The bond market was active as whole, but irregular movement marked tue foreign division. victory 4%s featured the domestic list, odd lots selling at S1O002, the years max imum quotation. Total sales, par value, S17,35O,00O.
