Printed silk dresses are made sim ply sometimes with lace trimming.
 In the evening, sleeveless dresses look exquisite, made long, and slight ly draped They do not look incon- gruous with bobbed hair and many wearers complete their costumes for the evening with large picture hats and lace or Georgette wraps.
 Sweaters and hosiery on the same general tone have become an accepted mode.
 Lace gowns are favored in white and black, but the smartest people do not wear them in colors.
 A great many Georgette dresses are seen and also new fall beaded dresses which seem to be beaded with more attention to designs, the Egyptian or peasant motifs preferred.
 In the water, jersey has won the race for popularity. Beach capes ot terry cloth are worn, but not in tre- mendous quantities.
 Some attractive effects are attain | ed by combining red with white. A pagoda dress, worked in red on 2 white ground, had over it a white cape 1 bordered in embroidered motifs. Rec shoes with white hose were worn, ant a large white hat.

rHE FARMER,s DoLLAR.

Americas farm crops this year are roughly estimated at SIP, 1000, 900, 900, with a probability that the total value will be more The money paid to the far mers for what they raise will be used in liquidating loans, erecting or repairing building, buying machinery, implements and merchandise. No inconsiderable part of it may find it's way into the pockets of the automobile 1nanufactur- CTS. If the farmers have sufficient sur plus, because they have come to the re- alization that motor car Is almost es- sential on the farm. The Wall Street Journal says:
 If the average farm price of crops and live stock in 1891 be compared with the wholesale price of all other com modities 1t will be found that the pur- chasing power of the farmers dollar was about ST cents. In other words 1t would take one dollars worth of farm products to buy S7 cents worth of other commodities The individual farmers return Is never larger. If return on the value of the land be excluded, his wage for his labor, risk and manage ment averages less than $500 year. Consequently, when that wage shrinks in purchasing power, the effect on bus mess is quickly felt as 1t was in 1920 and 1921.
 It is estimated that the lowest point In farm purchasing power was during the close of 1921 when the buying value of the farmers dollar fell to e2 cents. There has been improvement since then | in the price of farm products, and an other important thing to take into con sideration Is that this years crops are
 being produced at less cost than for merly. Commodity prices have respond | ed to upward tendencies, just as farm | products have become more valuable, thus the farmers dollar is not worth | quite as much as 1t was several months | ago. The Wall Street Journal thinks | the present purchasing value of the farm | dollar Is about 72 cents.
 | The farmer was hard hit, 1t is pointed out, when he raised crops at the peah
 of imitation and was forced to sell then
 when dehation was we'll under way. He
 was the first hit and also the hardest
 hit because commodity prices did no
 begin to fall until the prices of farm | products had reached new low levels | Eventually, however, these things righ
 themselves. The farmers condition f
 not yet ideal. but it Is much improved.

LLOYD GEORGE AND Po1NoARE.

The coming conference in London be- tween M. Poincare and Lloyd George, which Is scheduled to begin early this week, may easily prove to be one of the most important meetings Of Its kind since the armistice. It seems inevita- ble that the scope of the conference will be broadened beyond the subject which Is to be discussed at the initial meet ing. which is the question of German repraations. London reports indicate that there is expectation that Italy and Bel gium will be invited to participate in the discussions as their scope ex- tends.
 That there will be strong points of disagreement Is apparent at the outset. If there is to be any international loan to Germany, the French will insist, it is predicted, that control of Germany's f. nances, must be. in some way or an- other, in inter-allied hands. While ad. mitting the desirability of the rehabilita- | ton of Germany, the French will not be unmindful of their own land and will claim that part at least of the money available should be applied to France. M. Poineare will not be forgetful of the proposed compact whereby Great Brit ain would agree to guarantee France against external aggression.
 At none of these points are the Brit ish views likely to coincide with those of France, and the British government Is ready to point to the comparatively light direct taxation imposed upon the | French tax payer, as an argument l against the use by France of any men- ey that may be raised by an interna- tional loan for the use of Germany There will be little enthusiasm in Great Britain for a blanket no aggression | compact; and France in her turn is not likely, without such a compact, to meet | the British request for a reduction 1T | the size of her land armament.
 One substantial element of signih
 canoe in the meeting of the two premier
 Is seen. however. in the fact that the, l are not to exchange their views through I the ordinary channels of diplomacy, bu | will meet in a personal conference. Thi | is an indication of an earnest effort t reach basis of agreement and proven a breach in the Anglo-French entente which must be preserved if any lastin,
 progress is to be made in the recon Il struction of Europe.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Bright summer suns are trying to the eyes whether they are reflected from a city pavement or stretches of green grass in the country, and a hat with brim that shades the eyes adds greatly to the comfort of the wearer as well as to her permanent good looks. How can a woman possibly be good looking if she squints
 A cleansing cream should be used every day if short sleeves are worn, but it should be used before and not after the elbows are washed. It should be rubbed in thoroughly to loosen all the collected grime of the day and then scrubbed out with hot water and soap. By doing it in this fashion there will not be any grease in the elbows to collect dirt neither will they be dry and rough looking.
 Once comadones or blackheads have already made their unwelcome appear ance, it behoves a woman to spend time and trouble to remove them. Tn the first place, the pores must be cleansed from all impurities. A good l result can only be obtained by judi ciously massagng with a good skin food which should be applied freely and massaged well and lightly into the pores until absorbed, thus cleans ing and bringing them to a state ot healthy activity.
 If little sympathetic care and at tention are given to the hands an6 nails at the end of few months theil conditions will show a great improve ment. The hands should be immersed in warm, soap water for a few mo ments. Then with soft piece of olt linen or silk press back the cuticle ot each nail, separately. Use a manicure scissors (never cut the nails with any thing else) and trim the edges of the nails: after which, shape into a well. rounded curve, following the curve O. the fingers end.

ItCOMEY" FEET

Summer, where pavements are hot, is not the best time in the world for people who tend to get footsore easily especially as the dry weather tempts women to go out in very flimsy shoes, which are not much protection to the feet.
 Footwear should be chosen with discretion, especially on hot days. High heels are far more tiring to walk in than lace-ups on Cuban heels.
 A fresh pair of stockings every day is a great comfort and when only one worn they are so easy to rinse out at home. Good lisle gives the foot more protection against pavement and shoe than cobwebby silk, and Cir the country) is much more proof against insects.

CARRIER FOR BATHING SUITS

A most useful macintosh carrier for damp towels and bathing suits is easily made from a large square of white macintosh, bound with white or orange braid.
 Make four double loops of braid, measuring five -eighths of a yard long and fasten one to each corner of the macintosh square. Slip the free ends of the loops through small white bone ring, and then sew the four loops together, three inches from the top.
 To close up the "carrier" slip down the ring. To open it, so that it lies out flat, draw the ring up. When shut it can be carried by the braid loops, slip ped over the arm.
 To make the carrier stronger, two lengths of braid may be laid crossways, from corner to corner of the carrier on the outside, fastened together with few strong stitches where they cross one another in the center, Con no ac- count sew through the macintosh eX- cept at the edges-to perforate it with single stitch would spoil it's water proof qualitise, and bind the ends in under the binding which borders the cut edges of the macintosh. It will help to support the weight when fill ed with sodden bathing things. If the macintosh" appearance ot the carrier is objected to, back it with a square of easement cotton of the same colour as the binding braid, of orange or navy blue, or green looks best-binding outside, and mackintosf lining, together, before adding the | corner loops of braid.
 Made very much smaller, this same | pattern makes delightful sponge car. | Tier for the bathroom.
