VELVETEEN GOOD
STREET DRESS
Equally Appropriate for
Student or Office Girl.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Equally appropriate for the student
at college or the girl who goes to an
office every day, is this attractive
costume of grayish green velveteen.
Velveteen is serviceable fabric,
the bureau of home economics says.
1t is made of cotton, yet 1t is
warm enough to wear until late in the
fall without an extra wrap, and under
an outer coat all winter. The dress
illustrated is two-piece model, and
the coat is really the waist, for the
tan blouse is only vest. Corduroy,
which is cotton fabric similar to vel
veteen but with a ribbed surface,
might also have been used successful
ly in developing this costume.
The simulated blouse is made of

Baseball was known in various
forms in the East for years before
It received organized recognition, but
it's birthplace is matter Of dispute.
Philadelphia takes the credit as far
back as 1888, and New York claims
that its Washington club, organized
in 1843, was the first exponent of the
actual game. Baseball as national
game really came into existence In
1858, with the formation of National
Association Of Baseball Players in.

Period of Gro,vth

Not all trees begin to grow at the
same time. Some begin early in
spring, while others delay starting
their growth until late April or early
May, says the American Tree associa-
ton. The wild black cherry starts
about the first of April, while the tu-
lip tree or yellow poplar does not be-
gin until late in April, and the Nor
way spruce waits until early in May.

Three-year-old James cared not a

which his mother was taking from the

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Fruits, vegetables and milk, are as
important in the school child's lunch
as any other foods.
A cash account to keep an accurate
record of income and out-go, helps the
housewife as we'll as anyone else.
Short stockings can cause almost as
much trouble as short shoes. Get
them half an inch longer than the feet
to be sure of enough room for the toes.

him that what normal school gradu-

negligible; their superiority and their
awareness Of it, their poise, their con-

the self-confident Kutztown graduates
