of Agricultural
Electricity may be supplied TO farm
homes either by individual plants, by
community power plants, or by COM
pany which operates the lighting or
trolley system in some nearby city.
Wherever it has been installed it has
brought innumerable convenienceS
with it. No one is more ready than
the busy farmers wife to avail her
self of electric aids if she can obtain
them. Californians have been espe-
cially quick to see what electricity
could do for the farm home in addi-
ton to lighting it and operating power
farm machinery. recent report
from California received by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
states that there is more electricity
used on the farms of that state than
in all others put together. In ques-
tionnaire on household conveniences
returned by 5,364 California farm
housewives to the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, it appeared that
over $500 had, and used, electricity.

"Why do you say that your adven-
lures are finer and more interesting
than ours?" asked the tree kangaroo.
Because we see a great deal of the
world, too. We don't walk out to
meet the world, but the world comes
to our cages and yards to meet u.s."
the oldest kangaroo inhabitant said
proudly.
The rat kangaroo looked at the tree
kangaroo and they both shook their
heads as though to say:
"Poor old inhabitant-his brain is a
little queer"
But while they were thinking this
and saying nothing aloud, the Oldest
inhabitant went on talking.
"You see, people from all over the
world come to see us. There are peo-
Pile who speak different languages,
and stand in front and chat about us.
''Ah, the many languages which
have been used in describing our
charms!"
And the kangaroo who had lived
longest in the zoo waved his tail de-
lightedly.
"We have seen people from the
south, the north, the east and west,
and even from the CENTER"

WHITE ACCESSORIES WITH
- SUMNER COSTUMES

manufacturers are making their kid
shoes pretty much of these whites.
The newest modes are either all white
or delicately appliqued and piped in
pastel colors, or black, blue or brown
trimmed. White kid sports shoes
trimmed with brown lizard are very
smart, while white kid trimmed with
black glace kid is perhaps little
more popular owing to its accommo-
dation to any costume. Tor the dress
ier shoe there is the single thin strap
slipper very delicately piped, ap-
pliqued and heeled with gold, or the
white kid pump with inset of gold or
color, or with a charming white and
color small kid bow in place of
buckle
Very dainty are the new white kid
shoes for the sweet girl graduate
They are in one-strap model of
pump type, with the thin strap in
delicate color, and the shoe piped in
gold. Or they may be all white in the
same model delicately modelled to the
foot In fact so dainty are these new
models that brides are abandoning the
traditional white satin slipper for the
more practical white kid pump.
Lovely as any silks are these new
flannels, some of which show f1orals
printed on creamy white. In weight
they are as light as any challis. Be-
ing of 54-inch width, they cut to ex-
cellent advantage, especially if one is
making a sports suit like the one in
the picture to the left, where the wide
cape scarf requires a good-width ma
terial Note the handsome white kid
shoes worn with this ensemble. They
have a medium heel and stress the
chic one strap mode.
A smart three-piece sports ensemble
has a white flannel coat in three
quarter length, posed over two-piece
frock of striped flannel, with the skirt
in plaits and the stripes running ver-
tically, while the jumper is fashioned
with the stripes running horizontally.
With this ensemble, as shown to the

also worn. ~

fabric, which the child may enjoy
choosing for himself. TIL trOuser
legs are as plain and as short as pos
sible. Features that make these suits
comfortable and convenient are the
wide shoulder straps, which do not
cut or slide off, and the Tapped shOul-
der fastening. Allowance for growth
is made at the shoulder by prOvid-
ing a second buttonhole which will
permit the garment to be dropped an
inch or two. Barefoot sandals may
be worn to protect the soles of the
feet.
Every bright warm sunny day in
summer when the thermometer
reaches so degrees Fahrenheit or
more, let the children wear sun suits
while playing, in order to get the bene-
fit of the ultraviolet rays of the sun
which have been found so important
to growth and physical we'll being.
The bureau of home economics Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture believes that sun baths should
be given to all well children to keep
them well and to many sick children
to help make them we'll. 1t may be

"And that's fine. We hear their
stories. Its far greater and more su-
perior to hear of many journeys than
it is to know of just one which we
have taken ourselves"
The oldest inhabitant certainly did
bring out his point, and the tree and
rat kangaroo visitors wished they
hadn't bOasted so much.
Its fine" he continued, ito be
talked about in many languages"
Soon we will be as lucky as you
are" the tree kangaroo said
The oldest inhabitant smiled kan
garoo smile. He had made them feel
less superior, which was what he
wanted, and now he felt he could sat
isfy his curiosity and hear about the
trip they had just taken in coming to
the zoo.
He had seen to it that they wouldn't
boast by making out his life to be so
interesting.
"Who came along on this trip?" he
asked.
'Well," said the tree kangaroo,
there was the rat kangaroo and then
there was myself"
"That's right" smiled the oldest in
habitant, begin with yourselves"
The tree kangaroo felt ashamed once
more and began again.
"There were two rabbit-eared bandi-
cots, two rufus-necked wallabies, two
Tasmanian black phalangers, four
marSupial mice, two water mongoOses,
two West Australian rat kangaroos-
one my friend here-three yellow
footed rock wallabies, twelve snake
necked turtles, six blue-tOngued liz
ards and ten dragon lizards"
The tree kangaroo paused for breath.
ANY more?" asked the oldest in
habitant, as if he had not been in the
least impressed by the number.
'That's ALL" said the tree kangaroo,
and the rat kangaroo agreed by nod
ding his head and saying:
That's all, but when we were all
on one boat it seemed enough"
