 The industrial condition of the tex tile plants in Putnam Is having a markedly depressing effect upon the evening school attendance. There were at one time thirty enrolled from the Manhasset Village. Now there are only three Many have found work outside of Putnam.

ACTUALLY, a loaf of Bond A Bread was sent to a mother in France, and-after tasting it- such was her wonder and delight that she exclaimed:
 Tt is not bread-it is cake.
 This pretty tribute was not meant for us, as this mother thought. It was aimed directly at the 43,o40 housewives who jointly showed us how they wanted Bond Bread made. For these women did show us by bringing their homemade loaves to Bond Bread baking

Ing summer weather. The housekeep-
er must not only watch the family
clothing while it is In use, but make
especially intelligent preparation for
preventing damage by clothes moths
at the season when she begins to store
away wooden clothing, furs, rugs and
blankets.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has a very comprehensive
bulletin, #. B. 1853, Clothes Moths and
Their Control, which will be sent for
the asking. This describes in detail
various ways of protecting articles by
such means as careful wrapping in I'M
broken paper. using naphthalene fakes
or balls, and other preparations which
give off fumes, cold storage, fumiga-
ton, putting in cedar chests and other
methods.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the value of frequent brushing,
beating, summing and cleaning articles
subject to clothes-moth attack. The
eggs Of clothes moths are delicate and
can usually be crushed or dislodged
by brushing and beating. Pay special
attention to crevices, seams and peck
cts. Stunning is valuable aid in con-
troll work. In articles laid away moths
are much more likely to concentrate
upon soiled spots If these have not
been removed. Brushing and beating

the modes of spring. 1t has always
possessed certain feminine appeal
and for all their delicate and fragile
appearance lace frocks are in reality
remarkably serviceable.
One of the most successful ways of
using lace is for afternoon or evening
dresses rather informal in character
and therefore a wiser choice for
woman of limited dress allowance
than more elaborate frock that is
only appropriate for occasions of cere-
mony.
Extremely charming are models of
black lace over a slip of satin In a
contrasting color, and striking effect
is achieved when black chiffon or
satin forms the underdress.
Cyclamen and shrimp pink are other
shades frequently combined with
black lace.
Another is the use of cream and
black lace in alternate bands forming
an entire frock. These are shown by
several of the well-known designers.
The slip is of black satin-f1nished
crepe over which is mounted fine black
lace that has a design in heavy cord
almost like braid The sash Of rose
and violet satin ribbon has roses in
natural coloringS.

Fancy Gloves Are on
Spring Fashion List

Gloves are all-very conventional
models excepted-made with gauntlets.
And the spring styles are fancy, almost
without exception. This applies espe-
cially to the fabric gloves, which are
ell the rage.
There are women who prefer kid to
any of the fabric gloves, known now
hy so many different names. First of
all, they say, kid keeps the hands from
chapping it even softens and bleaches
them. and when the frequent launder-
ing is taken into account, kid gloves
the darker shades for street wear, par
ticularIy-are quite as economical.
The latest fad is a glove with a
gauntlet designed not to protect the
wrist but to be turned back over the
hand. For this reason the gauntlet is
elaborated with embroidery, cut work
or stitching on the inside.
In the endlessly varying styles In
gloves. the modes, tans, grays, browns,
black and white are shown with heav-
Ter fancy stitching on the back, and
with deliberately fashioned cuffs or
gauntlets. The colors in gloves for
service are generally two-toned, or
quiet: brown gloves, stitched in tan
light gray, with darker gray. black
with white. In the finer gloves of
suede and kid some lovely things are
seen. White gloves have scarlet, emer-
aid green or blue lined gauntlets, and
the smartest combinations of black and
white.

ed frequently to remove decayed> ones.
The commercial practice of wrapping
oranges, apples and other fruits, and
sometimes choice vegetables, in sepa-
rate papers is in some cases worth fol-
lowing in the home The wrappers
prevent the fruits from bruising each
other, and also keep the skins from
touching and so offering favorable
place for the growth of molds. Soft
fruits, such as berries, peaches, plums
and pears should, If possible, be spread
out, on clean wrapping paper or in
shallow pans or platters rather than
kept in deep receptacles.
Wash Thoroughly.
All vegetables and fruits, especially
those to be eaten raw, should be thor
oughly washed before use as protec-
ton to health as well as for the sake
of general cleanliness. The loss Of
flavor and texture is very slight, even
in such thin-skinned fruits as straw
berries, provided they are not allowed
to stand in the water and are drained
thoroughly, and lettuce and other salad
plants are made crfsper and more at
tractive Lifting them from the wa
ter rather than draining 1t off is an
effective way of freeing these foods
from grit and dirt, or washing them
in running water Is perhaps best of all.

Most fresh fruits and vegetables

These conditions help to prevent spoil

brushed every two weeks, it is doubt
full If moths can affect it seriously.
Carpets and rugs cleaned by strong
vacuum cleaners and thoroughly
brushed on both sides, or electrically
cleaned, are freed from infestation If
the work is properly done. Clothing
dry-cleaned is also freed from infesta-
ton by the process. Once freed from
infestation, clothes should be protect

~ wrapped in paper or placed in tight
chests or treated closets.
The public is familiar with "nloth-
proof" paper bags Of various types
that appear upon the market each
summer. These bags, IL not torn and
If properly used, are excellent for
keeping moths from reaching clothing.
They are of no value in killing moths
that may be in the clothing when it
is placed in the bag, and those made
Of plain paper are just as good as
those containing tar. The value Of
such bags as protectors against infes-
tation ceases largely as soon as they
are torn, even slightly, or are left un-
sealed.
Ordinary firm wrapping paper is
satisfactory, or several thicknesses of
newspapers will serve. Clothes moths
do not eat into paper to reach cloth
ing. For this reason, If woolens and
other fabrics subject to moth attack
are cleaned and freed from moths by
any of the methods mentioned above,
they will remain safe If wrapped at
once and tightly In several thick
nesses of firm wrapping paper or In
newspapers. There is a general belief
that the print on newspapers keeps
moths away. This is not true. Any
paper of moderate thickness and I'M
broken will protect clothing. Care
must be exercised to bend back the
folds Of the paper upon themselves at
the ends of the bundles so that the
moths cannot crawl into the bundles
at the ends.
After clothing has been made into
bundles or sealed in boxes, these
bundles and boxes may be left ex-
posed In garrets or on storeroom
shelves without danger of infestation
from without. If flake naphthalene is

that may have got into the cloth be-

The main point about using naph-
thalene flakes or any substance that
is expected to kill moth larvae by CIV

trunk or container must be absolutely

Pretty Little Coats

The most fascinating little coats
that have been seen for sometime are
designed for the three or four-year-old
child. They are fashioned of blue
twill or serge and have scarf collars
lined or trimmed with gay Roman rib
bons. A touch Of ribbon appears on
little hats of blue taffeta or straw.
Equally attractive are coats made Of
bright-colored sports flannel, with
vivid flowers embroidered in wool edg-

Dainty Things to
Enhance Costumes
Ribbons, Fringe, Neckwear
Prominent Among Orna-
ments This Season.

In just what way the gorgeous sash
ribbons now shown so lavishly will
serve is puzzling, observes a fashion
writer in the New York Times The
handsome brocaded ones, the metal
and colored silks that come in very
wide ribbons, are used in many ways
in evening and afternoon dress; as
WaiStcoats, panels, trains, Sashes Cir
dies. Some of these are interesting
because of their artistic patterns and
rich quality, which is emphasized as
they are introduced with plain mate
rails
In millinery these elaborate ribbons
are exceedingly popular. But the
plain silk and satin ribbons, fine in
weave and beautiful in color, that are
now offered in enormous variety
well, there seems but one answer.
That is the return of the normal waist
line in summer and lingerie frocks
These require sash and bow, and the
pictures of styles in the early '8Os IL
lustrate the coquettish fashion Of
wearing wide sash ribbon about the
waist, and tied either in an enormous
bow at the back, or loose knot and
ends at the side.
Fringe has had seasons of popular
1ty from time to time on gowns, wraps.
negligees. It has been used. by mo-
distes following Paris fashions, in ways
artistic, modish, eccentric, as the sea-
sons ran. Introduced on some swag-
ger frock from house of distinction,
1t had vogue, after which, being
copied adNlibitum, it dropped to the
ranks of the commonplace, and later
died a natural DEATH
Fringe in very narrow widths has
been seen as finish for the bottom
Of petticoat or drop skirt But the
last word in lingerie, the filmy, thin
yelling effects of chiffon and georgette,
is frankly embellished with fringe,
some of 1t several inches deep. Com
binatiOns, of fashionable underwear in
the loveliest delicate shades are
trimmed top and bottom with silk
fringe of the same color as the gar
ment itself
Radically new and most attractive
are some of the things in neckwear
shown in the best shops. The feather
boa is conspicuous In all the pretty
light cOlors and in sizes large and
small. 1t is intended to be worn
about the neck as in the style Of by
gone days. But some of the French
designers attach 1t to the evening
gown at any point for an. original eff
feet, even to trailing on the ground
In the latest fancy neck ruffs, some
are made Of plated silk or chiffon as
a foundation, with large cluster of
ostrich at the fastening, or used as a
fringe as light as thistle down. These
are the daintiest things imaginable,
and add touch of elegance to the
outfit
The large rosettes made Of ribbon,
silk or flowers that are shown among
the novelties will find places as garni-
ture on frocks and hats. Some are as
large as salad plate, uniform and
tailored, and are used effectively on
.one-piece gowns, especially in the soft
woods and silks for informal wear AL
most every gown among the late
draped models has some such motif,
those for evening wear having, of
course, the more elaborate ornaments,
which are of gauge ribbon, silk, velvet
and metal flowers.
