used is heavy gray wool perlaine,
which really is sort of glorified
cheviot, very woody and thick. Then
| the border, which is the mark of dis
tinction, is done in a pattern cut out
of red flannel and edged with band
most unsatisfactory, beyond a doubt,
with any dress or coat of the day,
and there is no denying the fact that,
| for some women and for some oc-
casions, the suit is the very best sort
of attire that can be found.
Moreover, the suit is peculiarly be-
coming-especially this sort Of dressy
French suit. There is slimness and
chic about it which cannot be ap-
preached by any other combination of
outdoor clothes. And there are GER
tain women, no matter what the gen.
eral trend of fashion may DO, who
will stick to this expression through
every change.
Has Full and Loose Sleeves.
This suit has the full and loose
sleeves which characterize the latest
frocks. 1t has the rather long peplum
for the coat, which brings it into the
street dress class, and it has the high
collar which, most certainly, is one OF
the distinguished. features Of the out
door dresses of the present time.
They say that in Paris the muff has
been revived and received with great
avidity this winter season. If so, we
NAV lock for it as a salient part of our
next winters fashions. Certainly it
adds touch to suit of this sort
which cannot be gained in any other
way, and it provides, too, that sug-
gestion of warmth without which the
suit would be totally impractical.
Another model is street dress,
or coat dress, as they are sometimes
called. 1t is made from a checked
blue and red velour with patches Of
embroidery for trimming. The back
ground of the material is dark
blue, and then the check of red runs
through it outlined by fine pin stripe.
The embroidery is done with dark,
rich tones upon blue background.
=
The cuffs on this dress are it's
center of interest, for they give that
width to the silhouette at the place
where it is most necessary if the model
is to take a notable place in the
fashions of the day. Sleeves Of this
character are more or less hard to
manage gracefully, but when one ac-
auires the trick of the thing the re-
suit more than pays for TIE trouble
involved in learning. Except with
privileged few, the management of big
sleeves does not come as natural
born right. More clumsiness can be
exhibited in this respect than in many
others. But once their handling has
become a secure thing in ones mind,
why then there follows satisfaction
in wearing the garmens which is a
total surprise.
Use New and Lovely Fabrics.
For the newer frocks they are using
new and the loveliest of fabrics. In
stead of the usual serge there is
French material, woven by Rodier,
called kasha cloth. 1t is material
with the weave of cashmere and the
surface of clipped came's hair
fabric.

pots in which they are planted out
doors for several hours each day when
the weather is warm. They may be
left out all night when there is no
danger of frost. Plants for the main
or late crop can be started outdoors
after the ground has become warm.
Two methods are in vogue foregrow-
ing tomatoes in home gardens. In the
small garden the plants may be set
two feet apart in each direction and
then pruneC to single stem and tied
to stakes. Where plenty of land Is
available the plants may be set three
to four feet apart and allowed to grow
naturally upon the ground. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that by
trimming and tying the plants to
stakes a better quality of fruit is OBJ
tanned, and that the fruit will ripen
earlier than when they are not trim
med and trained. From twenty-five to
fifty tomato plants will be sufficient
for growing in the home garden, and
this number should furnish plenty of
tomatoes for summer use and for cam
ning.-United States Department Of

There is no one moment in the
course Of a whole year when q new,
fresh frock looks more delightful than
fashion writer in the New York Times.
That is because, perhaps, it stands in
class by itself. All the nice, provi-
dent, thorough-going people have their
winter wardrobeS and are wearing
them. and are satisfied with them.
They look forward to spring-the cor
rect time to wear new clothes. But
here and there one sees a totally
new frock that suits the season, has
new note of design, and that has given
an unmistakable inspiration to its
wearer.
About these midseason gowns there
is also that accumulated note of indi-
viduality which the height-of-the-sea-
son creations sometimes lack. These
in-between affairs are constructed with
q certain single purpose in view. They
are done without the press of time
behind them. They show the result
Of more leisure. They are more ex-
pressive in consequence.
The frocks now, at this particular
moment, being created have much
about them that is new, while in other
respects they are so faithful to the
tradition of the last five years that
one wonders how they can keep up
the pace. But it is astonishing how
far detail can go to change utterly
the appearance of frock. The sill
houette for the most part remains as
it has been. Of course, we have the
elongated lines-lengthened as far as
the individuality of the figure will
permit. But in other respects the
large, outlines of the frock are essen
TALLY the same.
Distinguished by individuality.
Among recent impOrtations are new
models distinguished by their pro-
nounced individuality. The outlines
of them are straight and comparative
ly long, but the trimmings are the
fine points of interest. The cut of the
sleeves (for all sleeves are expression
full these days., the arrangement of
the facings and outside edge trim
mings, the spots of embroidery, the
rows of buttons all contribute to that
effect of novelty for which all the wom-
an world is eternally searching, no
matter how individuals among the sex
may protest to the contrary.
The black dress is one of those day
time dresses made of serge. And an
interesting point is that the French
designers are using a great deal of
black serge just now, instead of the
| long overworked dark blue. This
dress is trimmed with red braid and
red buttons in most effective manner
| In the places where the skirt and
| bodice are slashed there are bind
ings of the braid and long, close rows
| of the buttons. Over the shoulders
and inserted in the cuffs are more
patterns of the narrow braid, and the
| belt is one of those fascinating COM
binations of rings of steel, squares of
red leather and infnitesimal bits of
chain banded together.
The process of applying red to a
dark wool frock is not one easy of
accomplishment. But the French are

EARLY CABBACES
NEED RICH SOIL
Start Seed in Hotbed in February
and in Open Ground as Soon
as Possible.
CULTURE OF RELATED CROPS
CauIifIoWer Thrives Best Under Irri-
cation, and Brussels Sprouts May
Be Grown in Same Manner
Collards Are Tender.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
When set in the spring, cabbage
seed should be started in a hotbed or
greenhouse in February and in the
open ground as soon as the soil can be
worked. For late crop in the North,
plant the seeds in a bed in the open
ground in May or June, and transplant
in the garden in July. Early cabbages
require rich, warm soil in order that
they may. mature early. For late cab
bages, the soil should be heavier and
more retentive of moisture and not so
rich as for the early crop, as the heads
are liable to burst. Cabbages should be
set in rows 80 to Sc inches apart and
ii to IS inches apart in the row. Early
cabbages must be used soon after they
have formed solid heads, as they will
not keep during hot weather. They
can, however, be used for making
sauerkraut.
CauIifIower.
Cauliflower requires a rich, moist
soil, and thrives best under irrigation.
1t will not withstand as much frost
as cabbage. The culture is the same
as for cabbage, and the heads begin
to develop, after which the leaves may
be tied together over the heads in
order to exclude the light and keep the
heads white.
Brussels Sprouts.
Brussels sprouts are closely related
to cabbage and cauliflower, and may
be grown in the same manner. In
stead of a single head, brussels sprouts
form a large number of small heads
in the axis of the leaves. AS the
heads begin to crowd the leaves should
be broken from the stem of the plant,
to give them more room. A few
leaves should be left at the top of the
stem, where the new heads are being
formed Brussels sprouts are more
hardy than cabbage, and in mild eli
mates may remain in the open ground
all winter, the heads being removed
as desired. For winter use in cold
localities, take up plants that are well
laden with heads and set them close
together in a pit, coldframe or cellar,
with little soil around the roots.
The uses of brussels sprouts are
similar to those of cabbage, but they
are considered of a superior flavor.
Collards.
The culture and uses of collards are
the same as for cabbage and kale.
Collards withstand the heat better
than either cabbage or kale, and a
type known us Georgia collards is

FORTUNE HELD FOR MISSING
Man Has Been Away for Eleven Years
and 1t Awaits Him in Den
yer Bank.

Denver, Col.-There are 1000
honest-to-goodness American dollars
lolling around the vaults of a local
bank that belong to Louis c. Casper,
but the young man cannot be found.
If Casper fails to put in an appear
ance before Jan. 1, 1923, he viii be
declared legally dead and the money
will be distributed among twenty-cdd
cousins of the missing youth.
Young Casper disappeared early in
1916, en- a day when his mother sent
him to the bank to deposit $1,000.
The money never reached the bank
and Louis has not been heard from
since.
In 1918 his mother died. Two years
later his father died, leaving an es-
tate of $1,000. A Denver law firm
instituted a countrywide search for
Casper.

START OKRA IN BERRY BOXES
After All Danger of Frost Is Past
Transplant Young Plants in the
Open Garden.

Sow the seeds Of okra in the open
after the ground has become quite
warm, or start the plants in berry
boxes in hotbed and transplant them
to the garden after all danger of frost
is past. The rows should be 4 feet
apart for the dwarf sorts and 5 feet
apart for the tall kinds, with the
plants feet apart in the row. Okra
does best in rather rich land and re-
quires frequent shallow cultivation un-
til the plants cover the ground.
The young pods are the part used,
and these are employed principally in
soups, to which they impart pleasant
flavor and mucilaginous consistency
If the pods are removed from the
plants and none allowed to ripen, the
plants will continue to produce pods
until killed by frost, but the best pods
are grown on young plants. Okra pods
can be dried or canned for winter use.

PLANTING ONIONS IN GARDEN
Grown From Seeds-Sets May
Be Planted Early.

Onions may be grown either from
sets or from seed. The greater part
of the commercial onion crop is grown
from seed, but the usual method Of
planting onions in the garden is by
use of SETS One quart of sets will
plant from rs to 125 feet of row with
the plants 4 inches apart in the row !;
this depends, however, upon the size
of the sets. Onion sets should be
placed in a small furrow, root-end
downward and covered to a depth of
about 11a inches unless the soil is eX-
tremely heavy, in which case they
should not be covered so deeply. Onion
sets may be planted just as early in
the spring as the ground can be cul-
tivated.-United States Department of

LIME BENEFITS CLAY SOILS
Application Has Effect of"PuIverizing
and Loosening, and Corrects
Sourness.

An application of about 10 ordinary
1O-quart pailfuls of hydrated or air.
slaked lime to plot of ground 80 by
60 feet in size will generally prove
beneficial. Lime has the effect of
loosening and pulverizing any heavy
clay soil, and of binding loose, sandy
soils. Lime also corrects any sour
ness in the soil due to lack of drain
age, but in a case of this kind proper
drainage should be secured. Lime
should always be applied to the sur
face, and in no case should it be put
on the land at the same time as COM
merical fertilizer. The proper method
would be to spread the lime upon the
land just after blowing and before
narrowing; then apply the commercial
fertilizer one week later. Under no
circumstances should lime be mixed
with commercial fertilizer or manure,
as it liberates the nitrogen from them.

Victims Rush to
Meet SWindlers

ceased bankers, or the name of a build
ing in which they establish luxurious
ly furnished suites. Then they sit back
and listen to the dollars clfnking into
their Golfers from the pockets of the
unsuspecting, who believe they are
dealing with the sons of the financial
wizards of a generation ago.
Any secret process to manufacture
anything is one of the favOrite founda-
lions on which to construct a swindle.
1t seems to cloak charlatanism and fur
nish tempting appeal to human
credulity. Not long ago a company
was formed in one of the large east
ern cities to make cosmic bearings for
automobiles and airplanes. The proc
ess was to be kept secret, it being
decided not to even patent the process
because of the danger of it's being
stolen.
When the secret was revealed at a
directors meeting, after the proper
amount of stock had been disposed of,
it read as follows: ''To 100 pounds
of metal add four ounces of horse
hoof parings, three ounces of borax,
two ounces of powdered glass, and
one ounce of sea salt. After copper,
lead. and tin are fluid, put in horse
hoof parings and stir well, then add
glass. boraX, and sea salt combined,
then STIR"
A Good Formula.
Not the least amusing thing in rela-
ton to the formula was that it is all
right. The company expected to make
the cOncoction at cost of Is cents q
pound, and sell it at So cents, but a
subscriber to the stock who could not
quite fathom where the horse-hoof par
ings came in began an investigation,
despite the fact that he had been sworn
to secrecy. He learned that foundry
men throughout the country had been
using this formula for half century,
and that the product could be sold by
them for II cents a pound, or 9 cents
cheaper than it cost the company to
manufacture it. The officials of the
stock company were arrested, but, 1t
is said, they had taken in more than
S575,000 through the scheme.

Kohl-rabi belongs to the same class
as cabbage and cauliflower, but pre-
sents a marked variation from either.
The edible portion consists of the
swollen stem of the plant. For an
early crop, plant and cultivate the
same as for early cabbage. For a
late crop the seed may be sown in
drills where the crop Is grown and
thinned to about eight inches apart in
the row. The rows should be from IS
to Sc inches apart, according to the
kind of cultivation employed. The
f1eshy stems should be used while
they are young and quite tender.
