A Dame Fashion Smiles By Grace Jewett Austin There probably never was a boy made who, if given the choice be- tween two pieces of ple and one piece of ple, would not be sure to take the two pieces. Even if not immediate ly: hungry to that extent he would pinke a cache of the extra ple somewhere for future need. Curiously Grace J. Austin. enough, it 1s almost reaching that pass with gowns for women and girls. If a two-piece and a one-plece costume are both offered, quite often the two-piece gown will get the choice. So the one- plece gown is canny, and just as like ly as not you will be told to notice that it is a “simulated two-plece gown,” Once upon a time there was a the ory that the two-piece gown was a sports gown. Dame Fashion remem- bers very well her first two-piece frock, of tan and red, when she was sixteen years old, at boarding school. It was supposed to be worn in the gymnasium where we learned to fence with wands. That is another story. Some day Dame Fashion will get started to declare that there isn’t an athletic thrill to be had like the rhythmic wonder of swift fencing to music. But at any rate, in the far-off time that red and tan two-plece dress was to be worn in the gymnasium and on the tennis courts and nowhere else. Jt was considered too loose and “floppy” to be a real costume in that day of many whalebones. Now exquisite two-plece dresses are semiformal gowns; are dinner —have even reached the formals. Dame Fashion would most beautiful girl in America—you probably all have a candidate for that place—into a two-plece metallic cloth gown was most hints and gowns estate of like to put the she this unusual cloth, shades of blue and violet in the metallic material Accent was given to this gown by long loop bows at shoulder and side of sapphire blue transparent velvet. There was also a pendant effect clasp at the neck with the modern costume gems that look like sapphires. Dame Fashion thought what a gift sown that would make for some love- ly lady who was born in September. For September is the sapphire birth month. And it would not be at gil necessary to wait for September to present it. For it is the itful thing about birthstones that their magic whole year through.

Yet Paris finds a way to retain the flattering touch of white or color which usually marks even the simplest dress, by tucking crepe de chine or pique inside the neckline of the dress and making a gilet of it. A tailored dress of the new eponge, by Jean Patou, has its square neck- line outlined by white pique. The white shows about three-quarters of an inch at the front and about a half: inch at the sides and back.

Nearly every house of importance shows one or more of these frocks, which, because of thelr costliness and the impossibility of imitating them successfully, are among the most dis tinguished of the season. There are several ways of using the embroidery, but all of them are sim- ple, such as a spray of flowers em- broidered on the shoulder, at the hip, at the point of a V decollette.

Need Protection Bees require protection from eold in winter the same as most animals according to lowa State college, For helping bees get through the winter, the minimum requirements of food for a good colony is 60 pounds, and it is better to have more. Only stores of the best quality should be used. A= to the bees, the ideal condi- tion would be to have all of them emerge just prior to the last killing frost, so that their full strength will be available for winter heat produc tion and leave sufficient energy to give the colony a good start in the spring. It is best to introduce the queen in late summer, Two general types of winter protec. tion are used; the indoor or cellar and the outdoor or case. If conditions are satisfactory, cellar wintering of bees is a sound practice. Where bees are to be wintered outside, a windbreak of some kind is very important.

It girdles the twige so that the top has to die and the leaves appesr as though scorched with fire. The only remedy is to keep the tree as thrifty as possible but not growing too fast. It is customary to sow oats or barley between the trees in June so ne to assist in ripening the apple wood in the fall. This checks the growth of the blight. Some varieties of ap- ples blight more than others, In the winter time all blighted wood ghould be cut off and burned and then the trees looked over for cankers. These are places along the trunk and larger limbs where the disease is working. From these places the germs come out next spring to spread to other trees. These may be cut out and sterilized with corrosive sublimate or formaldehyde, Largest and Finest American Built Steamship Serves sails from New York for San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, her kitch- ens will be stocked with MONARCH Coffee fresh from the Monarch roasters in New York; and a new stock will be supplied from the Monarch roasting plant in Los Angeles for the return trip.
