SOME NOVEL SPORT SKIRTS
Flannel, Plain and Striped, and We
Iours Among the Accepted Ma
terials.

The vogue for separate skirts and
sweaters is well established, and now
sport skirts claim attention with their
distinctive touches and serviceable ma
terials. Flannel, plain and striped,
is among the accepted materials for
sport wear, and there are some smart
skirts in checked velOurs. Linen and
washable damask are among the cot
ton fabrics, and some skirts are made
Of fancy silk crepe.
OF plain white flannel is a good
looking sport skirt, easily tubbed. 1t
is a straight-line model, not too mar
now at the bottom, and belted at the
top. Pockets are slashed at the hips.
This skirt combines wonderfully well
with a wool jersey Overblouse or a
Tuxedo sport coat.
White linen strictly tailored is use
full for a smart skirt for morning wear
in the country. Crescent pockets are
the only trimming. With this type
skirt one wears a mannish blouse Of
striped madras or wolfe.
Another skirt listed among the cot
ton materials comes in striped damask.
Straight slit pockets finished with
biased band, and buttons relieve its
severity.

There is only one golfer in England

that? 1t is six holes too long.
1T is because of these six holes
that the bond-slaves have to bolt their
breakfasts and miss their baths and
come back late for lunch; that every
one rushes around the course at a
hand gallop; that every one is always
either pressing some one in front or
letting somebody go through behind;
that every one is tOuchy in the morn

Fall Hat Styles.

The outstanding feature Of the early
fall hats is the strong leaning to bright
embrOiderles as trimming. Black hats
trimmed in wool embroideries in novel
motifs and in the most vivid color
tones are unquestiOnably good looking.
One small hat, recently seen, of the
tam type made of black duvetyn was
embroidered all over with woods in
CzechOslovak cOlOrings, the embroid-
cry being applied in a sort of tufted
effect. Two pompons made of wool
finished the hat at the left back.

These various points of fashion are
giving us much food for reflection and
making us wonder, in a panic whether
the hens of last years frocks are
ample enough TO let them express the
new mode.
The salvation Of the longer skirt Is
the longer waistline, for it readjusts
the proportion so charmlngly that we
welcome the silhouette and cease to
regret the comfort of the shorter skirt.
A dress of heavy black crepe has an
underskirt made on slim, straight lines,
and is quite short. It is covered with
a clever draping Of the same material
and certain ends of that draping come
very near the floor.

The Best Way to Improve a Dairy
Herd Is by the Introduction Of a
Purebred Sire.
the hope Of starting an interest in bet
ter stock and creating a demand for
his animals, presented a purebred bull
to the community. Little interest was
taken, and the gift was accepted with
reluctance. The community was made
up of small farms and there were few
cows.
Following this a dairymen's picnic
and exhibition of live stock was held,
and as a result of extension work car
ried on by the dairy division of the
department in cooperation with Glenn
son Agricultural college more people
became interested and bought cows.
In 1917 cooperative bull association
was organized, from which developed
a live stock show, and the members Of
the association developed a keen inter-
est in comparing the dairy animals
they raised.
Another show was held in 1920, at
which prizes, offered by merchants and
bankers consisting Of cash, merchan-
disc, and savings accounts we're
awarded. One Of the features Of the
show was a program of short talks on
local problems by the county agent,
leading farmers, and representatives
Of the commercial club and the State
Jersey Breeders association. AS an
indication Of the interest that was
aroused those attending the show
voted unanimously to hold a commu-
nifty fair next fall, to include not only
dairy stock but other agricultural
products,

OF BLACK
CTepes, Satins and Lace Are
Favorable in Paris.
Nothing Depressing in Effect Of the
Color az 1t Is Worn by
Women Of France.

'There are so many black dresses in
Paris that they look almost like na-
tiOnal costume"
"Black costumes" observes a Paris
correspondent, "are made from every
known material, from crepes and
satins especially, and from much black
lace. They have very tiny sleeves or
no sleeves at all, and they are long
only few inches from the floor"
Here we have the description in a
nutshell. The lead is certainly simple
enough and, as far as can be learned
In other quarters, 1t tells the story
adequately. The French woman has
always loved black. She knows how to
wear 1t so that there is nothing sombre
or depressing in it's effect. By her
knowledge Of line and proportion, Of
material and draping and white
spaces" made up Of throat and arms,
she manages to achieve an effect which
is actually colorful.
The longer skirt the longer and the
blOused waist, the long sleeves and the
uneven skirt lines are In evidence.

SAVES THE TIME AND THREAD
Make More Than One Garment at
Time; Do Not Take From Ma
chine at End Of Seam.

One can arrange to make more
than one garment at a time and save
thread. Do not take away from ma
chine at end of seam, but have an
other seam ready to start under the
presser foot. 1t is surprising how
much those ends waste. Instead Of
a French seam, place edges together
as In ordinary seam, allowing one
edge to extend just far enough be-
yOnd the other to turn down. Turn
this over the other, then both in
narrow hem, and one row of stitch
ing makes neat seam, which for
great many garments does just as
we'll as q French seam. By buying
large quantity Of one pattern for
children's clothes, you often get an
extra garment from what would go
In the "piece-bag" If each suit, etc,
were different. Same for mems shirts,
for where we need three yards for
one shirt, five and one-half, sometimes
five yards, will cut two.

An example of how bull associs'

dairy methods in a community Is IL
Illustrated by the work which has been
done in Spartanburg county, S. G.
Five years ago little dairying was
done in this county, according to
dairymen of the department, but now
the industry is making rapid progress
and up-to-date methods are being prac-
ticed largely as a result of the organ
ization of a bull association.
The interest in dairying dates from

Green and Be In Keeping With
Latest Styles.

New hats for autumn are made OF
felt in black, brown or dark green. nj
though bright green is worn also. The
cloche is again favorite, very broad
of brim and rounded of crown. The
felt brim is bound with ribbon and n
twist of ribbon with perhaps a small
bow enriches the base of the crown.
Smart is Maria Guy shape Of black
velvet with the under side of tho brim
lined with cyclamen velvet, a fold of

The new shapes are large rather
than small-the broad, slightly droop-

SPRAY TO KEEP FLIES AWAY
Best Time to Apply RepelIent Is in
Morning After Milking or Early
in Afternoon.

To keep cows quiet and contented
they should be sprayed to keep flies
off. A good time to spray is after
milking in the morning and before
milking time In the afternoon.
With a portable cart, made from
half barrel by attaching wheels and
a spray pump and nozzle, two men
can spray 40 cows in five minutes.
Thirty gallons of mixture will spray
40 cows twice day for 10 days.
Formula: Az quarts coal tar dip,
AZ quarts fish oil, 8 quarts coal oil,
8 quarts whale oil and Ia quarts oil
of tar. Dissolve 8 pounds laundry
soap in water, add the above ingredi-
ents and bring the whole up to 80
