Black relieved with much white is
an outstanding call of both the eve
ming and the daytime mode. In an
swer to this plea of fashion for strik-
ing contrast comes from the atelier
of Jeanne Lanvin a stunning two
piece formal evening dress as illus
trated. 1t is made of black satin for
the skirt, with a sleeveless blouse
which is of white satin. In this in
stance the satin is of the supple crepe
persuasion which adds to the elegance
of it's appearance.
The belt which is posed at the nor
NAL waistline is decorative in that ii

Mulching With Paper Is
Favored for Moisture

The paper mulch, as it is called, is
heavy grade of paper. quite similar
to that put on roofs. The seed, of
course, must be planted in the ground
and must not be covered with the pa
per, or it will never come up. The
use of the paper is between the rows
of plants, where it keeps the weeds
from coming up, and prevents the
ground from being excessively dried
out. The common way is to plant the
seed as usual and then spread this
paper between the rows, so as not to
cover the plants. and weight it down
with pieces of stone or earth, so that
the wind will not move it.
