Simple and inexpensive clothes,
made at home by the amateur dress

milady's wardrobe, but afford salts
faction known to every woman-hav-
ing something made the way 1t. is
wanted.
The problem of limiting expense
and at the same time having charming
clothes is one which almost every
woman faces at one time or another.
This problem may be solved success
fully by adopting the plan Of the
thrifty housekeeper and working on a
budget. Hit-or-miss spending is as
disastrous in dress as it is In any
branch of household expenditure or in
business.
One way of being we'll dressed at
all times, observes a fashion writer in
the New York Tribune, is that of sup
plementing the expensive models which
one must buy with a few simple
clothes made at home. 1t is we'll to
take a lesson from the French women,
and if one cannot have great many
beautiful clothes get few that are
good, wear them constantly and then
get new ones. In this way it is pos
sible to be much more fashionably
dressed than by having q large num-

Organdie Frock of Slender Outline.
Dotted swiss was selected for one
model because it is popular with wom-
en- all over the country and makes a
comfortable and practical dress. This
dress is worked out in black, dotted
with white. Interest is added by
white linen ribbon embroidered with
black dots, which is used for sash
and to bind the neck of the frOck. The
scallops are embroidered in white.
An organdie dress robbed of its
f1uffiness may not appeal to the flap
per, but it does appeal to almost every
woman who. has passed the fapper
stage. Dresses of the crisper muslins
would have much greater appeal
were they more clinging in outline. A
fluffy organdie dress carries no ap-
peal except to those who are exceed
ingly slender.

Patchwork Pockets From Vivid Silks.
Ways. of embellishing clothes and
adding to simple frocks touches that
bring them into all entirely new realm
are as important as are the clothes
themselves; oftentimes they are more
so.
A great many women like little or
no trimming on their clothes; others
enjoy touches of color, ribbons and
laces. This is more or less a matter
of taste, and it would be making rath-
er strong statement to say that one
is good taste and the other bad.
Things of this sort depend largely
on Individual temperament. There is
no reason why woman should not
have any kind of trimming she likes.

Dress Easily Made at Home.
The sleeves should be edged with
organdie I'm two colors to match the
neck, Now make q narrow belt of the
red organdie, or of the gingham If you
like, and line it with white, allowing
the white to show at either edge in the
form of q piping. Ornament this with
two tiny, stiff bows of the green,
trimmed with white. Tie the girdle in
the back, permitting the stiff lite
bows to come at either side Of the
front.
The skirt may be plain or it may
have two large tucks encircling 1t. II
further ornamentation Is desired, sew
the tucks in long running stitch
with green worsted and trim the neck
and sleeves in the same way.
Neither worsted nor organdie is a
new trimming for gingham dresses, but
evidently designers have not been able
to think of anything prettier to take
their place, for we have them used
more profusely than ever this year.
This is especially true of organdie.
Quantities of organdie trimmings are
seen.
Tapes and strings, such as are used
to tie packages in the shops, have been
rediscovered; that is, they have been
found decidedly decorative when dyed
in bright colors and applied to wash
dresses. The tape Is used either in
white or color on linen frocks for bind
ing the edges and for embroidery.
When used for embroidery it is inter-
mingled with stitches in cotton
threads.
Such a trimming is effectively car
ried out on a dress of heavy cerise
linen, the bodice of which Is plain and
straight, with skirt joined to it low
on the hips. The skirt laps over at one
side and where it fastens there is an
embroidered panel. The dress is bound
on all edges with the white tape,
which affords a pleasing contrast with
the linen.
Summer frocks, whether they be in
chemise form or In two pieces, usu-
ally are made to slip on over the head.
In each instance the waist portion Is
usually slashed to enable the wearer
to don the garment more readily.

Men Who "Dared."

The spirit of America is the spirit
of intelligent and daring experiment
Every step of Importance in the his
tory Of our country has been taken bv
men who were not afraid to strike out
boldly into the unknown. The pio-
neers who hewed their way through
the wilderness towards the prairies
of the Middle West-the political ex-
perimenters who devised the Constitu-
ton of the United States to escape
from the narrow localism of colonial
control-the social experimenters who
in the destruction of slavery abolished
the oldest form of property known to
the world-these are the men and this
is the spirit that has made Ameri-
can history.-Wallace's Farmer.

IMPORTANCE AND IMPROVEMENT
OF VARIOUS NATIVE NUT TREES

been given much opportunity to
demonstrate its usefulness as
money-crop producer. However, sew
eral varieties are promising.
Mature native trees that are well
situated may be made more valuable
by top-working. BY "top-working'' is
meant the replacing of the original
top with a new top Of another variety.
1t has been practiced for long time
by fruit growers to increase the value
of Seeding trees and trees of inferior
varieties, and owners Of nut trees are
now adopting the method. The steps
to be taken are: (1) The selection Of
trees, taking into account the things
just mentioned; (2) the choice Of
varieties to be used, and the making
sure of scions or bud sticks at the
proper time; (3) the cutting back of
the tops during the latter part of the
dormant period or very early in the
spring; (N the actual process Of
grating or budding; and (5)> the
subsequent care of the new growth.
Cutting Back the Tops.
In cutting back the tops preparatory
to budding or grating, certain rules
should be rigidly followed: (D No cut
should be made where limb is more

than six inches in diameter, and a
limit of three inches is preferred; (2)
all cuts should be made so they will
heal of themselves If, by chance, they
receive no further attention; (3) cuts
should be made in late winter while
the trees are still dormant, or, at the
latest, just before the leaves appear;
az cuts should always be made
slightly above a bud, which will as
sure renewal in case the graft should
fail.
Grating may be done by the COM
mon cleft method or the slip-bark
method. The former is usually en-
ployed when the tree is still dormant
and the latter at any time during the
growing period, but the sclons used
must always be dormant, and as
scions in that condition are seldom
available after the first of April
neither method is of much interest
just now. 1t is now too late to top
work trees this season, but those that
have been cut back and small trees
that may be budded without cutting
back may be left until late summer or
autumn, so that scions (then called
bud sticks) of the better varieties may
be obtained and buds from them In
serted in the bark Of the new shoots.
Specially devised tools for remOv-
ing the buds from the bud sticks and
for removing pieces of bark Of identi-
cal size from the stock are on the
market Several are illustrated in
which contains much information Of
interest to nut propagators, and which
may be obtained by writing to the
Department Of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C. Budding by the patch
bud" method may be done at any time
when the bark of the stock slips
readily. On trees of rapid growth the
bark will slip at almost ary time In
the summer. On young trees not cut
back budding may be done in the first
half Of the growing season. whereas
new shoots grown from below cutoff
tops should be Of sufficient size for
budding during the latter half of the
season. Dry spells frequently cause
the bark to tighten, but rains will
loosen 1t later. The season for bud
ding sometimes extends until the trees
begin to go dormant. During the lat
ter half of the season buds may be
selected from those formed at the
base of the present seasons growth.
Most Of them will remain dormant
until the following spring.

AMERICAS DEBT TO FRANCE
Other Considerations Aside, That
Country's Outlay of Actual
Cash Was Enormous.

1t cost France at least $5O,00O,0O0
for the military forces she sent to
America to help the struggling repuD-
lie win it's independence from Great
Britain.
For this great outlay, tremendous
sum of money in those days, the
French king, Louis XVI, received no
substantial repayment and France has
never asked the United States to re.
pay it.
1t is estimated that the cash outlay
of France in behalf of the United
States in the Revolutionary war was
greater than the entire wealth, In
coin, possessed by the Colonies during
the entire contest.
France sent to America an army
of 1850 officers and men, in SO trans
ports, the crews of which aggregated
2,700 officers and men. She dispatched
to America in 63 warships $4,000 Off
GERS and men, making a total of land
and sea forces of 1920 fighting men.
Her warships engaged in co-operat-
ing with the American land forces

Cav Color Note,

1t is a fashion these days to have
the inside drawers Of sewing table
a brilliant color that gives a decora-
tive note when the drawer is open.
For instance, the drawers could be
finished with emerald green or rose
color. and the inside of the sewing
basket lined in the same gay manner.

notes add Immensely to the beauty of

localities nut trees planted about the
farm buildings, along the highways, or
in other unoccupied spaces, or old
trees that have been left in the clear

depended upon to add noticeably to
the. bank account. Forward-lookfng
farmers want to make their trees pro-
duce the best nuts and in the greatest
possible quantity.
First of all, every tree intended to
bear nuts in quantity needs ample
space, 60 feet being none too great an
interval between trees of equal rate
of growth, and larger trees, unless on
the shady side, should be 100 feet
apart. A fertile soil that is reason
