AS a rule. says the author of the

trees merely cucumber the ground and

Irepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Measured by the abundance and
regularity of the crops of high-grade
fruit produced, there are many apple
orchards of bearing age that are not
successful. Because a large number
of these Improbable orchards a be
made to yield good crops of high
,uality fruit by special treatment, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has prepared Farmers Bulletin
1854, Apple-O Orchard Renovation, by
II. P. Gould. which discusses the prin-
clpal practices found useful in bring
ing neglected trees back into profit
pro ducing condition.
Orchards in need of ~renovating are
found only in sections where the home
orchard or fruit garden is the pre-
vailing type of fruit growing, and in
regions where orchards Of consider
able size occur only occasionally, but
also in the recognized commercial ap-
~ple-growing districts. Some orchards
are not worth the time and expense
necessary to renovate them. In decid-
ing what is to be done the following
factors need to be considered: The

Fhrls has gone quite mad over the
printed silk handkerchief and is using
1t for decorative purposes on dresses
ana mats, writes II correspondent in the
e York Tribune.
II big shops are selling the batik
printed squares for blouses and head
lands. A prominent shop with a win
dow full of lovely printed styles shows
a handkerchief bracelet. Thus none of
its value as u decorative note is over
looked.
So serious are some manufacturers
about the Importance of the vogue
that they are beginning to slacken
their efforts on printed linen handker-
chiefs and will on silk.
Many of the best designs are in batlk
print, but there is, of course. much
printed from hand-cut wooden blocks
of oriental origin.
The present vogue for the handker-
chief as n trimming is an interesting
example of the difficulty of creating Il
FASHION without the support of some
well known designer. 1t also Illus
trates the fact that great designers
very often receive credit for originat-
Ing a fashion which really emanuted
from the brain of a practically I'M
heard-of dressmaker. A year ago the
handkerchief was used, especially In

Most Practical.

School girls, college girls and busi-

son, but the essentials Of Gimplicity,
good taste and appropriateness are al
ways retained. 1t Is n Of the most
attractive and practical models ever
designed. Remember the furore the
first Jersey dress with Its plain over
blouse and plated skirt created7 It
had n success unequaled by costumes
Of greater cost and greater formallty.
In a way II put an end to ~overdress-
Ing which used to be noticeable among
business girls. Adopted by the de-
butantes OF society. by girls at the
smartest boarding schools. and by busl-
ness girls, who quickly realized Its
charm Of line and color, this particular
Jersey model was the forerunner Of
other frocks of the same character.
One Of these smartly simple Jersey
frocks was a very popular model at a
fashion showing Of appropriate and
smart clothes for business women.
A monogram embroidered in con-
Trusting shades OF self or wool as n
trimming motif gives n touch of indi-
viduallty. The fashion Of putting
monographs on blouses or sport frocks
is new and extremely pretty. especial
ly when II is done in bright colors on
blouses OF white crepe de chine.
Another model also Of jersey has n
blalred skirt and an overblouse en-
broidered in harmonizing or contrast
