The efforts of the Foundation are
aimed to supplement Boys and
Girls club work already being done
by other farm groups. The FOun-
datiOn will direct its interest along
the line of investigation and ex-
perimentatiOn. 1t is ready to con-
slider every suggestion for improve
ment of club work and all ideas of
value suggested by club leaders will
be thoroughly tested. Mr.. barrow
is conducting experiments in fiYe
states-Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Michigan and West Virginia in an
attempt to find the most feasible
type Of junior work. He is trying
to devise a plan whereby the club
work promotion can be put on a.
basis of full time club leadership
taking the load from the already
over-burdened shoulders of the
county agent. One third of the
total work done last year for boys
and girls was done by 14S club
agents. Five per cent of the cOun-
ties where full time club leaders
were employed did more than one
third Of all the work. Whatever
the Foundation develops of benefit
to the movement will be for the
use Of club workers the country
over.
In addition to the experimental
work Mr.. Darrow devOtes one eve
ming a week to a Boys and Girls
club program by radio, broadcasted
over the Foundations station, WIS.
Club leaders and club members who
are handling creditable projects
are invited to tell their experiences
to the other members. This weekly
boys and girls radio feature serves
as a clearing house for club ideas.

Marcasite, New Trinket;
Attractive Silk Sashes

A camOufiaging trinket called mar
castle has made it's appearance among
the many pretty ornaments that are
so much worn now. 1t is shown in
rather large pendants of graceful
shape, the background being of onyx,
on which is outlined in delicate tracery
design in this metal which resem-
bles fine cut steel, but has an effect
as brilliant as that of rhinestones or
small diamonds. This same cOmbina-
ton Is shown in many chic accessories
and smaller toilet articles, in vanity
cases, powder boxes and that sort of
thing, in many variants.
Styles in fancy sashes are constantly
elaborated, and the loveliest things are
fashioned of wide ribbon crepe or silk,
with flowers of ribbon or of the lac
quer-finished silk that is quite the
latest fad. The flowers themselves are
used in clusters or in single blossoms,
very large, snowy and most decorative
The one-piece frocks and many dress
designs of the simpler type take on a
fascinating touch with these sashes
and flowers cleverly combined.

Dainty Frock for
Formal Occasions
White Satin Finished Crepe
With Decorations Done
in Brilliants.

1t Is said, and with truth, that the
frock which is the most telling expo
nent of the fashions of the day is the
one that depends for it's chic upon its
lines and upon details which add indi-
viduality, but in no way detract from
the perfect simplicity that spells mod
ern smartness.
Even in frocks designed for evening
wear the simplicity of line prevails.
but it is a simplicity not to be con-
founded with severity or mediocre
alainness.
Nothing is more difficult to attain
thar the right sort of simplicity, but
on the other hand, nothing is so in
finitely chic. 1t takes an artist in col
ors and materials to drape single
length of beautiful material so that it
subtIy defines the lines of the figure
without the aid of any ornament save a
single flower or a delicately jeweled
motif holding the draperies in place.
While the Spanish influence is rather
marked in a number of the latest
dance frocks with tight bodices, rather
long-waisted, and wide, full skirts, a
greater number are fashioned on the
lines of the model illustrated.
For the original frock lustrous white
satin finished crepe is used. The dec
Orative border on the skirt is formed
of motifs done in brilliants which also
outline the neck and armholes. Hang

Every SO often one discovers that
some article of furniture which served
a valuable purpose in a preceding dec
ade has outlived its usefulness, or
given way to some modern household
equipment evolved with modern ways
of doing household tasks. One Of the
furnishings which long since disap-
peared from the city house and which
is rapidly being banished to the attic
in the rural home is the washstand
that used to be seen in every bedroom.
Several Of these bygone pieces Of
furniture have been reclaimed for use

and see what was on hand that could
be made to serve a useful purpose
without buying anything new. Dis
carded washstands, under their sug-
gestion, were brought downstairs and
transformed into convenient buffets,
desks and wheel trays. BY the elimi-
nation Of sides, drawers, and closet,
leaving only the framework, the wash
stands were easily disguised. In most
cases the varnish or paint was taken
off, the surfaces rubbed over with
sandpaper, and several coats of white
paint applied, the final finish being
enamel. This work was generally
done by the farm woman herself
With the addition Of casters the evo-
luton of the washstand was complete,

Hosiery Continues to
Be Important Equipment

Hosiery continues to be as promi-
nent in woman's costume as once 1t
was inconspicuous, and the new stock
ings are startling in the extreme.
Those for dress occasions are so sheer
as to be almost invisible. Sports
stockings are of heavy wool knitted in
the showiest, loudest patterns and
striking colOrs. The latest things
brought out with the dress models for
southern wear are woven in the most
vivid colors-intense purple, scarlet,
magenta, green, brilliant orange and
lovely shades of blue.
The new metal stockings in gold
and silver mesh are an absurdity and
an extravaganza and not at all COM
Portable article to contemplate. They
are amusingly effective, however, with
slippers of gold or silver kid and the
handsome metal brocades, but they
have one definite disadvantage In that
they will not wash" but must be dry
cleaned.

sweater shades meeting with splendid
reception.
There is marked interest In rayon
sweaters. Spring collections abound
in charming short-sleeved models
in delightful colors such as powder
blue, and refined tan shades. These
types are finished with neatly tall
ored collars and ties Of plain knit
rayon.
Very smart indeed are rayon sweat
ers which boast silver or gold leath-
erette collars and cuffs. Many of the
most popular types for the new sea-
son make for effectiveness by binding
the edges Of collar, sleeve and coat
sweater with plain knit border in con-
trasting color. This gives a wonder
full opportunity to produce exquisite
color combinations such as gray with
blue, deep violet with orchid, red with
white, black with white, tan with vari.
GUS browns, green with lighter green.

Kinds of Hosiery Worn
by Dainty Paris Women

The correct length of the skirt
among the best-dressed women OF
Paris is half way between the knee
and the ankle, says the Kansas City
Star. Only the very young or the very
frivolous dare to have their dresses
shorter. One thing common to all is
fine hosiery.
Silk stockings of gossamer texture
still are being worn by the large ma
ioritv of "Parisiennes," though when
the really cold days OF winter came,
few of them were persuaded to wear
the speckled wooden hose. Wool stock
ings were found, however, to give the
lags clumsy look and did not go well
with the new kid footwear SO
madame" and "mademoiselle" looked
elsewhere in search of the necessary
warmth and the ever-essential chic
ness.
Thev solved this difficult problem by
adonting very fine handmade angora
wool stockings, flesh colored, with
equally thin paris nudes over them
Although fiesh-colored hose is worn
the most. there is distinct tendency
toward nudes becoming warmer in
tone in other words, they are running,
not toward white and cream, but to-
ward beaver, beige and cinnamon.
Clicked hose-the clocks being of
the very finest open work-add an ad-
ditional touch of smartness to the
graceful legs ana beautifully shod feet
of Partisan women, who aim at per-
lection in dress from the very soles OF
heir feather-weight footwear upward.
There is no doubt that increased at
tention is being paid just now to

the bone was removed, and wrap firm
~ with strong strip of cotton. Cook
slowly for three or four hours and
cool before removing the bandage.
When cold, remove the bandage and
rind and brown the fat; sprinkle with
sugar and fine crumbs and bake an
other hour in a slow oven.
Jellied Ham.-Take one pound of
boiled ham cut into thin slices, four
pound shank Of veal, one-fourth cup
full each of diced celery and minced
onion, one bayleaf one-eighth tea
spoonful of thyme, eight peppercorns
and two teaspoonfuls of salt. Wash
the shank of veal, place in kettle
with the vegetables and seasonings
and pour over two quarts of boiling
water. Simmer slowly until the meat
falls from the bones. Remove the meat
and cool under weight. Strain the
stock. Add one-half teaspoonful Of
salt and q dash OF cayenne. Into a
cold, wet pan pour little of the stock
which has been clarified by adding
two egg shells crushed; bring to the
boiling point and boil for ten minutes
without stirring. Stand ten minutes,
then strain through double cheese
cloth.
After the first layer of the stock
has stiffened arrange a layer of the
sliced ham and veal, add more stock
and repeat until all the ham is used.
Let stand Eve hours before removing
from the pan.

Types of Gloves That
Are in Fashions Favor

In gloves, while the short gauntlet
cuff style is still worn, very simple
STYLES Of slip-on gloves in suede, with
inconspicuous embroidery on the hand,
in a matching or darker tone silk, are
favored.
Gray, mastic, mole are the best col
ors. Particular emphasis is to be laid
on the increasing vogue for gray, as
gray is the fashionable color for spring
in garments and for accessories.
Black suede gloves in very heavy
tailored styles, sewed with white or
with color, are worn with tailored
suits.
White glace gauntlets with black or
with colored embroidery, and with per-
forated gauntlet cuffs in fine lace pat
terms, are favorably spoken Of among
the novelties.
No gloves are worn with evening
gowns.
