idea is not new, but, nevertheless, it
is much in use.
There is penchant for sparkling
effects in dress and, consequently,
these cloth motifs often are covered
with cut-work Of steel beads, or
embroidered in glistening metallic
threads.
Other glinting trimmings are the
braids that have the glistening white
appearance Of bright new silver.
Even furs are enlivened by inserts
Of such braids. Perhaps it is the

sertlon, lhere is noIhlhS
new" To the casual OBJ
server there is little that is new.
From a walk along a fashionable
thoroughfare one gathers the inn
preston that clothes are much the
same as they were last year.
But the close observer, the one
who really is interested in the fash
ions, will see that there are changes
many OF them-and that these
changes are clever and subtle. They
do not lie in the outline of the gar
ments, but in unusual trimmings. 1t
REQUIRES much less effort and ingenu-
ity to bring out a silhouette that is
attention attracting than to evolve a
beautiful and original decoration.
To-day the clever dressmaker buys
only a small percentage of her trim
mings ready made; she creates deco
rations suitable to the model she is
designing, often using nothing but
the materiall from which the dress
Is made.
This is an old idea. Our grand
mothers depended largely upon ruff
filings, pleatings and fiuitings to en-
nance the beauty of their costumes,
and it is from these old-time trim
ming ideas that the present day self
trimming, as it is called, eminates.
Subtle Trimmings
OF Self Material
THERE was nothing artistic about
the evenly pleated or fluted ruff
hes- Every dressmaker used them
and stitched them to the dress with
great exactness. Vastly different
are the delicate handmade trim
mings Of to-day, carelessly tackled
here and there
Drcssmakers now excel IN intri-
cate handmade decorations, most of
which consist of novel ways Of work
ing the materials composing the
dress A great deal of this sort of
thinning is used, and it gives look
Il elaboration TO simply cut models.
Donstimes Il takes the form of up

Another unusual form Of trim

brcidered in seff-tone, and still ano-
Their interesting effect is produced
BY small leaffike points and narrow
strips cut from two layers Of mate
rial pasted together. This makes it
possible to use the raw edge.

Sombre-Hued Dresses
THE most lavish user of self-trim-
mings is Madame Renee, of
Paris She does marvellous things
With materials, working out intri-
cato designs in silks, cloths and vel
,vets.
An example Of one Of the simpler
methods Of trimming with strips of
the material is seen in the chemise

Selecting Breeding Hens

Poultry farmers Of the county
should begin TO think about selecting
their breeding hens for next year. At
ter eulling out what Is known ~ the
"slacker hem" that will never have

the selecting Of the best from the rest
should take place The later it is
done the fewer birds will pass and the
better they will BE-.

Need Of Standardization

Among Windham county farmers
there IS feeling that marketing
should receive more attention. At the
last meeting Of the officers Of the
Windham County Farmers Assoeia-
ton. there was a long discussion as to
what could be done in connection with
marketing work. There Is no ques-
ton but what, in any marketing work
contemplated, that Standardization Of
products should be given the utmost
consideration. The problem Of Wind
ham county, as well as elsewhere,
among the fruit and vegetable men, Is
the Standardization Of these products.
Only a start has been made in this
country looking toward the standard
ization Of agricultural products.
Standards for fruit and vegetables are
difficult 10 establish because Of their
perishable nature, the wide difference
in varieties. and the varying condi-
tons under which they are grown.
Standardization is generally taken TO
mean the establishment Of suitable
standards Of quality which viii in
tclude such regulations concerning the
digging, handling. sorting, sizing and
packing. as will insure uniform,
standard product Of high quality. Il
hould be extended TO include the ship
ping containers used.
It i equally important that stand
ardization be applied to the production
Of the potato crop. An effort is be-
ing made in many states 70 standard
ize the varieties grown. This move
ment aims 70 confine the planting IN
each section to a very few varieties
which have been proven the best for
that locality An endeavor Is then
made TO plant only seed true to name
and Of the best selection. The result
u such methods Is 70 standardize

materials that are reasonable in price,
and the response generally obtained
warrants the application of such ma
tefials.
The second demonstration was start
ed on a pasture in Wauregan owned
by Mr.. Baton. 1t is just at the end
Of the Chabot farm. going towards
Central Village on the state road. A
great deal Of moss il present in this
pasture, and il is expected that this
treatment will show up to advantage.
These two well laid out pasture de
monstrations should furnish some ex-
cellent observations that can be used
by the farmers near the demonstra-
tions. and also farmers in other parts
Of the county.

ten upon 1, when on the set, for his
mimeiic powers viii reproduce his feel
ing oil an hour before.
Auto suggestion consists in working
oneself mp to the part before going
before the camera By various expedi-
ents. For example. one actor. before
playing a part calling for extreme
anger, spends some ten minutes IN
clenching his FISTS. swearing at the
handiest fence post. setting his Jaw
and so making himself really angry.
II IS not hard TO reproduce emotion
by these tricks OF auto-suggestion. Try
thinking Of something sad-draw your
face dowH-and before long sou will
be in a very glum mood. That is the
way such stars as Norma Taimadge
and Anita Stewart produce tears on
short notice. Most people think they
are tricks OF makeup. such d drops
Of glyseriue. as a matter OF fact, il
IS a matter OF puckering the face end

Sounds Intricate
All this sort OF thing sounds very
intricate. and unnecessary. And yet il
is the really practical side Of screen
acting. The psychology OF each actor
IS different and his manner Of nrepar.

The whole trick Of II, they add, IS 10
keep perfectly cool and know exactly
what you are doing, no matter how
spectacular or emotional the scene.
Still q third school declares that
both these views are wrong. and that
acting is neither a matter OF Thought
nor OF emotion. but IS purely INITIATIVE.
An actor observes his own emotions
as he experiences them IN each crisis
OF his real life. they say. and remem-
bers them so well that he IS after
wards able 20 reproduce them before
the camera.

wrong. The great stars OF the motion

that when they are acting. they are
