Lovely Faces Lose All Indi-
viduaIlty and Charm by
"Awful Sarneness" OF
Clothes, Ayers Connie Wing
Makes Suggestions anc
Picks Out Lace Hat as
illustration of Her Views.
By CONNIE WING.


Once upon q time there was
beautiful city by the name of Wasl
And in this city there lived man
extraordinarily beautiful youn.
women, but alas they were like
flock of sheep, they all dressed
alike. So that If you walked down
# street and saw one Of the young
ladies' strolling along you could
make up your mind that everyone
Of them you saw for the rest of
the afternoon would be CARRIED the
same.
Everybody wears their dresses too
long, except an occasional visitor to
Washington, and how easy it is to
pick them out of the crowd. A
smart, well-dressed woman as a rule
- from outside Of Washington.
Think Of 1t! when you have the
prettiest girls here I have ever
seen.
In your effort to be stylish, and
! don't like that word, you COM
pletely drown your individuality and
originality. You forget to look In
the shops and consider what would
become you. Look for the unusual
thing. Don't be a follower when
you are purchasing new clothes.
For instance, / was down town
this morning at luncheon time and
/ saw coming, down the street, four
very pretty girls. 1t is hard to
estimate their ages, but they were
older than the flapper type. They
all wore close black hats with a
flower on, long swagger back coats,
white hosiery and sandals and
must not forget, they all carried
sticks, or attempted to. Do you
think that when those girls got by
me I could remember that there
was one or two attractive costumes
or lovely faces in the quartette. No!
OF course couldn't, they were lost
In that awful sameness. The most
striking woman in the world can
not stand too much REPETITION. she
soon loses that certain something
that makes her charming.
Travellers and tourists abroad I
have heard remark that the averabe
French woman was not so welt
dressed. That may be true among
the poorer class. but dowdy as they
dress themselves up, they are al
ways individual.
With the idea in my mind of ST.
Letting for your approval a little
something different, l searched the
shops and stores until l finally
came across this model that is ad-
vanced to be true, but excellent
taste. I found it in a department
store instead of a speciality shop,
and it is from one of the best mil
linery houses in the United States.
/ SELECTED TODAY.
A black lace and silk braid hat,
in which the Russian influence is
very strong. The lace that falls
from either side Of the hat is fine
and very dainty lowered shadow. 4"
This is strictly a dress hat and
should be worn only with afternoon
or evening gowns.

service is the elimination of over

department of agriculture on coop.
erative marketing, and is in response
to widespread demand among CO.
operatives for practical information
ON the numerous problems that con
front them. Leaders in the coopera-

More than 10000 cooperative or

Der of the large tobacco and cotton

tabulation by the department shows
that there has been greater growth
in cooperative marketing in the
south since 1915 than in other states
were cooperative marketing is of
longer standing. The greatest
growth is shown in the east south

Whether unconSciously or not, the
average farmer has one or more side
lines to his enterprise, discounted per
haps as to it's economic Importance, yet
often is the real key to his very exist
ence.
The modern drug store in city can
not possibly sell enough drugs at a
profit to replace stock and pay neces-
sary expenses and loss. They must
handle vast array of merchandise for
profits enough to keep the business
alive. The same principle applies to
great many other businesses. 1t Is
this very principle that is keeping the
average small farmer going, but unfor-
tunately many of them are unable to see
it. There is much propaganda on the
subject of diversified farming and has
been for years but ultra conservatism
the curse OF the southern farmer, holds
the practice in check. Instead OF diver
sified farming, why not side lines as
source of revenue? There Is little II
any difference only side lines are per-
haps more appealing.
Get Right Start
A wrong start is the chief cause OF
sailure in most human endeavor but is
more noticeable In undertakings that
have to do with the planting of any
thing than any other one: yet there is
perhaps no subject on which there is
more abundant information, free to ev-
crybody. that has for its purpose the
teaching of when, where, what and how
to plant any and everything; but, like
all other information, the American
mind discounts it at the start.
Small Excuse
There is small excuse for the mis-
takes we make because we have con
stantly before us an object lesson. somc-
thing tangible. that has to do with the
subject by which we may profit through
others mistakes. If anyone would sit
down and catalog the mistakes made i'll
their lives they would be surprised at
the extent of the volume and readily
conclude that the cause of nearly all
failures was due to a wrong start. The
