Inc OrcnarQlSJS VINO are interested
in soil fertility problems are invited
to visit these several plots at any
time and study the results Of the
various treatments. Pronounced
differences in wood and foliage
growth were noted on some of the
experimental trees this summer
when an inspection tour was made
of the orchards. The real value of
this work, however, will not be real
ized in one year, as it requires a
period of years for such tests to
show definite results. This project
has been established to run at least
three years with practically the
same treatment in each orchard
each year. The fertilizer in each
case was applied in the early spring
and was sown broadcast.

Ribbon, belts. plaits. large collars

withdrawn from Its runner betting
and the plaits are not expected to sur
vive a nights slumber; but they pre-
sent the style in the first instance.
Pajamas have survived fad OF
years and still are preferred by many
women. Paris has given her endorse

gorgeous materials. almost always
they are splendidly embroidered.
The reason why women Of fashion
elect to sleep in these somewhat for

haps their sentiments are those OF
the hopeful young movie" star who
wore purple pajamas Though he pre-

hoped that one day reviewer would

Dress Ornaments

Grafton of Majority of

Dress ornaments of new design are
many, some unusual, and some very
beautiful. The style is tuned to. a sim

models, writes fashion correspondent
In the New York Times. On all of the

The latest and most popular combi-

which appeals to women whose taste

Variety in Fabrics

The wardrobe of today is vastly
more interesting than II was some
years ago. For one thing. instead of
a few materials there are many. and
fabrics have in many cases changed
places and been put to uses hitherto
undreamed of. The revival Of flannel
has been an outstanding point in the
modes of the season. First only plain
colored flannel was seen, but recently
the gayest blazer striped flannel has
appeared. and from all indications
seems destined to play an important
part in sports fashions.

HER FIRST SMOKE

LADYS belonged TO what they
VI were pleased to call the younger
set" of her village. Her family was
eminently respectable. Her mother
was an officer of the Ladies' Aid so
ciety. and her father was a trustee OF
the local Baptist church. When she
was younger Gladys had gone to Sum
day school and had been treasurer of
the Young Peoples society. She out.
grew these things in time, Of course
and considered herself now one of the
leading young people of the town.
She was thoroughly up-to-date. She
bobbed her hair and washed 1t with a
decoction of henna; she wore evening
dresses in the morning, and satin slip
pers with French heels on the street,
and long dangling earrings and carried
rouge, and lip stick and everything In
q little patent leather box dangling
from her wrist. as the real swells do in
the big cities like New York and Paris
and Butte, Montana. you know. Shed
been engaged twice-not engaged to be
married of course. but just engaged
but both attacks had been light.
Even from this brief sketch It is
plain that Gladys was quite girl who
knew a few things about the ways Of
the world. Her intimate friend. Maude,
had drank a cocktail once at dinner
dance. and she smoked, so she con-
fessed, though Gladys had never seen
her perform this rite.
1t was little humiliating to Gladys
that she had never had either expert
ence, but she had managed whenever
the subject of smoking or hoOtch came
up in her conversations with her world
Iy friends to avoid these damaging adj
missions.
Her father smoked a cigar occasion
ally after dinner; her brother carried
the makins in his pocket; but she
don't feel equal either to the cigar
or trolling her own" Luck favored
her, however; one of the fellows stay.
ing all night with her brother, Bob,
left half-used package of cigarettes
on the dresser. and her chance had
come.
When she was alone in her room, the
door locked and the window open, she
nerved herself for the experience. She
shut her eyes and the match burned,
the smoke which she drew into her
lungs choked her, the tobacco bit her
tongue, but she was game. She was
determined to like 1t as one learns to
like olives and grand opera and linn
burger cheese. She smoked the thing
quickly, vigorously until 1t burned her
lips. Then the room grew black |;
nausea seized her, and we draw the
veil.
She came to finally and sighed heav.
lily and looked around. Gosh" she
moaned. "but a girl has to go through
a lot to be SWELL" And amt 1t the
truth!
