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

There was also a pendant effect clasp

Dame Fashion thought what a gift

Used Flour Sack Makes

Laundry bags need washing almost
as frequently as the

bag which has many good points over

even boiled. They are so inexpensive
to make that there is no reason why

not have his own bag, In fact they

almost any baker will sell you.
First rip the bag and then cover
the inked spots with lard or soak
them overnight in kerosene. By morn-
ing, the stamping can be easily washed
out in lukewarm water. Then fold the
goods In half, and make a slash In
front through which te put in the
soiled articles. The bag is emptied by
simply unfastening the flap at the
bottom, The top of the bag has a
Leading and a casing In which is
run a small woolen slat or rod which
can be slipped out for washing. The
sides of the bag and the slash are
bound with some bright-colored brald
tape. Use a different color for each
bag. The word “Laundry” may be

Collars on Frocks,
According to Paris Mode
The pew dresses do away
lars as much as possible. 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. Cuffs on
this dress are replaced by little inch-
| wide bands of pique worn outside the
| sleeve, a few inches above the wrist.
Louiseboulanger uses a surprising
touch of yellow In a similar gilet on
a dress of printed silk, but In this
case the gilet forms a sort of yoke,

Embroidered Frock Is
Evening Mode in Paris
The evening dress which owes its
charm to a bit of well.worked em-
broidery is an important one in the
Parisian winter collections.
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,

Bees ! 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. For
real outdoor protection the case meth.

Blighted Trees Should
Be Treated in Winter
Blight is a bacterial disease caused
by a bacterium growing in the inner
bark. 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,
