Once the season has gained its
stride. we expect to see the more COM
plete creations of that era make their
appearance, observes q fashion writer.
The first gowns are now. perhaps, dar-
ing in some radical innovations. yet
still tentative, but the ones that fol-
low are certain of their art. consistent
In their expression, carrying with
them an air Of being quite sure OF
themselves. no matter what sour criti-
cisms they may happen to meet on
their way.
Now from Paris are coming those
mid-season models that are perfection
In themselves. The designers have
sifted the best from this seasons
styles and Incorporated the ideas in a
few exquisite examples presented as
mid-winter apparel. There are the
skirts. for instance-not long enough
to be alarming. and an extremely
graceful line, after all. They are
straight, still, and that news will be
a relief to the American woman who

Usually duvetyn frocks are worn
with Jackets or long fur coats which
must necessarily be removed imme-
diately upon entering a heated place;
this process gives an excellent oppor-
tunity for the gowns to show to great
advantage as the Frenchiness Of their
construction energies. Recently there
was seen a cloak of midnight blue
duvetyn with a big straight collar and
rather small cuffs made Of krimmer.

wrap and the dress were SO much q

was perfect without the accompani-

the newer winter frocks. they need

them appear at their very best.

URGE TESTING OF SEED CORN
Even When Carefully Selected and
Stored u Should Be Tested De-
fore Planting.

Even where seed corn has been
carefully gathered and stored It
should be thoroughly tested in the
spring before planting. The best way
to do this Il to make a seed corn test
ing box and test 100 ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect. and not injured at the tip
when 1t Is removed from the ear.
Hand-shelling will give much fewer in
jured tips than machine Smelling, and
should be used with all seed corn. II
three or more kernels out Of ten from
any one ear fail to grow II will be
wise to test every ear In the entire
supply of seed. II the 100 tested eara
show no poor ones. further testing Of
the supply is unnecessary.

If the rural delivery is at your door
the city market is there for your small
produce, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. At
present many producers are neglect
ing entirely this marketing medium or
are not utilizing it to the extent they
might. Wider use of the parcel post
for marketing eggs is particularly adj
visable for the small producer who
can easily and advantageOusly build
up direct trade with the city. When
more produce is marketed directly
from the farm to the city there will
be less complaint on the part of the
producer that the prices he must sell
for are too low, and less on the part
Of the consumer that the prices he
pays are too high.
Sell Only First-class Eggs.
It Is preferable to produce infertile
eggs for market, as fertile eggs de-
teriorate rapidly IN warm weather and
are the cause Of much loss. The eggs

laginous coating of eggs and opens the
pores of the shell, 1t should not be
practiced in the case Of eggs intended
for high-class trade. Soiied eggs
should be used at home or disposed Of

TONER
If there Is any doubt concerning the
freshness or quality Of the eggs, they
should be candled, so that all eggs
showing any defect may be held at
home. say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. For parcel-post shipment 1t Is
essential that uniform containers and
a uniform pack should be used. as 9TH
erwise the packages will not wear
well. nor will they look attractive and
appeal to the fancy trade. Further
more. the containers should be stout
and durable, so as to make 1t worth
while to return them as "empties" for
subsequent use.
According to post ONCE regulations,
eggs will be Accented for local deIiv.

COMPOST HEAP MADE
FROM GARDEN WASTE
Organic Rubbish Of All KINDS
Especially Suitable.


Garden waste. decayed vegetables.
dead vines, weeds, and the organic
rubbish that collects about the place
during a busy summer may be cleaned
up and put to work again through the
agency of a compost heap, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Start the heap
by laying down a bed of stable ma
nure which has not been burned or
heated. The size Of the plot Will vary
with the amount Of refuse to be used
for ordinary uses, If the bed is made
eight feet long by six feet wide and
two feet deep 1t win serve the pur-
pose. Over the manure spread a two
foot layer of refuse and cover with
another layer of manure. This last
layer need be only a foot In thickness.
If 1t is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material emp
tied into the hole thus made. This IL
convenient for the suburban home
where there Is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap is well mixed with fork and
the compost is ready to be spread On
the garden plot. The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the

IN PARIS MODES
FOR MID-SEASON

weaves of wool that only the French
really know how to do. The material
is an art all in itself and the bits of
fur used with 1t, along with beaded
embroidery at the sides and bias bands
of the material. all help to pull the
whole together In a most effective
manner. The fur turban shows a
dropping bunch of flowers, so much In
demand for turbans and most Of the
closely-fitting hats.
Drecoll has done the happiest sort
Of French frock in her model of black
and white. This Is a combination of
effectiveness of which the Partisan
never seems to tire; each time a de-

seems to be more beautiful than 1t

deal of the art lies in the delicacy
Of the cut. But the irresistible touch
comes when the little blocks of en-
broidery appear. for they are done in
threads of white and black thick wool.
to make them all the more effective
on their white background. An in
teresting point is made in the lacing
Of the sleeves, for this Is done with
white silk braid tipped on the ends by
bobbing black alls. And the collar
is another bit Of art, for 1t need not
be high. 1t can open and lay back
over the shoulder line with the same
ease and grdce that 1t uses in folding
snugly about the throat. Again. the
waist line says eloquent words for the
survival of that long, mOyen-age treat
ment. This time 1t is done In clev-
erly different way by means Of the
panel at front which becomes q wide,
soft belt further down.
The hat on this figure is one of the
later ones created In Paris. 1t is made
of black satin and has. by way Of a
touch Of trimming, a fringe Of fur all
about the edge of the upturned brim.
