FLATTERING “FUSSY” STYLING FOR
DAYTIME WASHABLE FROC
ENTIMENT has completely changed
within the last several seasons in
regard: to washable daytime frocks.
‘Ordinary workaday house dresses have
gone entirely out, of date. Nowa-
days the style element is considered
as important in the fashioning of cot-
tons and other washable weaves as it
is in that of dressier materials. The
new modes for 1929 especially exploit
that ultra styling which is accom-
plished through intriguing detailing.
A theme much exploited in advance
wash frock displays is that of using
contrasting materials—pique with ging-
ham, heavy linen with handkerchief
linen, printed sateens, gabardines,
rayons, dimities, voiles, percales, crepes
and the like with solid color and so
on and so on,
When a plain and a print cotton or
linen is used together, the gates of op-
portunity are thrown wide open for
the designer. Which accounts for the
fascinating, flattering frocks that
abound in the wash dress sections this

Likewise the woman who makes her
own clothes finds that many of the
new patterns call for two materials,
usually a print and a plain. And such
season, and so in price.
prints! There never was such a
galaxy of beautiful patternings and
materials as are offered today. Printed
broadcloth, sateen, pique, rayon and
innumerable equally as attractive
weaves. There's plenty of inspiration
for the home dressmaker in these new
materials. Considering that the mak-
ing of even the simplest wash dresses
involves so much detail, it might be
wise to begin the sewing campaign,
earlier than usual. It is not a bit too
early to start at this moment.
In choosing materials and patterns
or in selecting the ready-made frock,
keep. your eyes open for bows, for
bows, you know, are entering into the
scheme of design for washable frocks
as conspicuously as in that of evening
frocks. Not just bows which tie for
convenience sake, but bows which are
purely ornamental. Note how bows
play their part in event of each of the
three dresses in this picture. Atten-
tion is especially called to the “fussy”
pretty frock to the left in the back-
ground as it demonstrates most in-
triguingly the use of figured with plain
material in combine. Organdie is
charmingly worked into a ruffled panel
for this dress, also for other details.
The vogue for large bows at the hip
which has been so pronounced for
evening wear, is finding its way into
washable daytime modes.

Seed Potatoes Need
to Be Chilled Soon
Dormant Period Ends Some
Time in January.
Late in December or early in Jan-
uary the dormant period for seed po-
tatoes grown and stored in Ohio will
end, and precautions should be taken
to establish a temperature of about
36 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit, which
will prevent sprouting in storage. Un-
til early January, the dormant tubers
will not sprout, regardless of the tem-
perature. Some 6,300 bushels of seed
potatoes will be stored in Ohio this
winter, according to Earl B. Tussing,
horticulture specialist at the Ohio
State university.
Sprouting in storage, due to temper-
atures being too high, is far more
common than damage from freezing
of stored seed potatoes, which will
withstand a temperature as low as 29
degrees, according to John Bushnell,
of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
station at Wooster.
When the dormant period of the po-
tatoes ends, the low temperature
should have been established in the
case of potatoes stored in basements,
by ventilating during cool weather
and closing the ventilators on warm
days. When spring warmth comes,
ventilating should be done during cool
nights, with the same end In view.
If the potatoes are stored in “pits”
—that is, covered with alternate lay-
ers of straw and dirt—they should be
covered very lightly in the fall, so
that the temperature may be lowered,
and the heavy layers of coveringsadd-
ed only after the 36 to 38-degree point
has been reached. In the spring the
covers should be removed when the
temperature commences to rise.
' Large Poultry Business
Pays Better Than Small
Large flocks of poultry pay better
than small ones, says E. G. Misner,
professor of farm management at the
New York State College of Agriculture
at Ithaca, N. Y. He points out that
this is largely because of better labor
efficiency in handling larger flocks,
and because large businesses usually
sell more baby chicks.
“Recent studies show that some
poultrymen lost more than $3,000 iur-
ing 1926 and more than one-tenth of
the poultry farms studied failed to
make 5 per cent interest on their in-
vestments, although they got nothing
for their time. About 26 per cent
made as much as $1,000 for their
year’s work, managing their farms and
caring for the hens. Only 19 per cent
of the poultry farms studied made as
much as $3,000, although 1926 was an
unusually good year for poultrymen
because feed was cheaper and eggs
higher than ordinary.
Professor Misner further points out
that the farms included in his inves-
tigations have on the average, a cap-
ital investment of about $16,882, and
the average labor income was $1,654.
The hens laid an average of 130 eggs
each.” The 98,970 pullets raised cost
$1.10 each, and it cost $1.95 a year
to feed a hen,.on the average.
Manure for Gardens Is
of Much Importance
Most home gardens need fertilizer
in the form of manure supplemented
with a complete vegetable fertilizer
or superphosphate, and, for some
vegetables, lime is good. Lime, how-
ever, encourages scab on potatoes and
may be harmful to beets, according
to the New York College of Agricul-
ture. Manure should be applied at
the rate of 10 to 20 tons to an acre,
or, on the basis of smaller areas, 50
to 100 pounds to 100 square feet of
space.
The supplementary fertilizers should
be applied at the rate of two to three
pounds to 100 square feet of garden.
On rich soils, it is advisable not te
manure too heavily as tomatoes and
root crops may produce excessive top
growth at the expense of fruit and
roots. Under such conditions either
superphosphate or a complete com-
mercial garden fertilizer will usually
overcome the difficulty. If manure is
not available, leaves, lawn clippings,
and similar plant refuse may be used
as a source of humus. These should
be supplemented with two to four
pounds of a high grade garden ferti-
lizer for each 100 square feet.
Damaged Wheat Value
The value of any particular lot of
damaged wheat depends, of course, up-
on the extent of the damage but, in
general, it may be said that shrunken,
frosted and otherwise damaged grain
may not be injured in feeding value,
though rendered unsuitable for wmur-
ket. Rather strangely, some lots of
damaged wheat actually contain a
greater proportion of protein than
marketable grain does and so pos-
gesses a higher feeding value on the
farm- Scorched wheat is often found
in the market.
Yas
Se
Useful Wood Ashes >
Wood ash is a fertilizer for the roof
crops. The wood ashes of the bon-
fire hold potash and phosphate only.
The latter food encoursges tuber
growth at the expense of big leaves.
Nitrogen has the opposite effect, which
is undesirable for root crops, and
there is much nitrogen in the natural
and the proprietary artificial manures.
The wood ash may be sprinkled along
the bottom of the seed drills at the
sowing times.

DADDY'S
EVENING
THE BEAUTIFUL TREE
“You're the very sort of a tree I
like,” said Santa Claus, “you're a
beautiful tree.”
And the tree
bowed its topmost
branches ever - so
little and said:
“It's fine, simply
i fine, that you like
1 me.”
“Well, I must
get to work,” said
Santa Claus after
a moment.
He started right
i away. .
First of all he
decorated the tree
with lovely silver
tinsel. Then came
silvery decorations
that made the tree
look as though it
were covered with icicles.
“I look like a tree in the woods
after a storm, when the ice and snow
freeze,” it said.
“That is the way I want you to
look,” smiled Santa Claus.
“Oh, I know what I look like now,”
the tree said, and Santa Claus smiled
again and asked:
“What do you look like now?”
“I look like Fairyland,” said the
tree. “Yes, I have heard children
talk of Fairyland. .
“When I was in the woods last sum-
mer, growing and feeling that per-
haps I would be used for Christmas
as they said I was such a nice tree,
I heard children talking of Fairy-
land.” "
“What did they say?” asked Santa
Claus.
“IT will tell you,” whispered the
tree. “They said that Fairyland was
any place where fairies happened to
be, and that often, very often, the
fairies played in the woods and
danced and had their frolics and
games.
“They told stories, fairy stories,
about castles and turrets and towers,
about kings and queens and prin-
cesses.
They told of balls and dances,
where the fairies and other guests
wore beautiful costumes.
“And they told of trees covered
with icicles and trees bending low
with beautiful white snow and every-
thing they said sounded so beautiful,
so happy, so gay.
“But the trees and the way they
talked about them interested me most
of all.
“And when you began putting on
all the beautiful tinsel and other dec-
orations which m«de me look as
though I were covered with icicles and
silver, I thought of the children and
of their talks of Fairyland.”
“Well,” said Santa Claus, “it is all
for the children that I am decorating
this tree.
“TI want it to look very bright, and
these children said they loved tinsel
and candles and decorations of this
sort.
“Some children like one kind of a
tree—others like another.
“I don’t know of any kind of a tree
they like any better than they, do
your kind, only
some of them like
different sorts of

“Well, 1

wondrous of mothers—Mother Nature
—gives us a covering of snow and

“And I can see myself in that tall
mirror at the end of the room,” the
tree added, for it reaches from the
floor to the ceiling, just as I reach
from the floor to the ceiling.”
And then Santa Claus unpacked the
presents!

Not Fixed for Praying
Little Bobby had been taught to say
his prayers at his mother’s knee. A
short time ago he was obliged to re-
main over night with an aunt, who
took him to bed, tucked him in, and
told him to say his prayers.
After waiting for some time, she
said: “Have you said your prayers,
Bobby?”
“No’m.”
“Well, hurry. Auntie has
downstairs. Come, begin. . .
“I isn’t fixed right for p’aying,” said
Bobby.

cs OW can a fellow marry a girl
when she won't even notice
him?” demanded Arthur Digby of his’
assembled friends at the clubhouse.
Some of them laughed understand-
ingly while the others nodded sympa-
thetically.
“Has anyone in particular asked
that you marry the only girl you have
in mind?’ inquired Homer Clark,
dryly. : ‘
“Don’t be an ass,” jerked out Ar-
thur. “But I was merely wondering
if any of you boys have been in the
same fix?”
The four of them who had known
Arthur Digby from boyhood smiled
with him, and then Burt Raymond
suggested: “If I really fell in love with
a girl who appeared to dislike me,
why 1 think I would give her a good
heavy dose of feeling how it is to be
disliked—eh, what?”
He subsided amid murmurs of ap-
proval, and Arthur grinned at him in
a very friendly way. “Thank you,
Burtie—I'll follow your advice.”
Ed ® * * ® » es
It was another day and Arthur Dig-
by was breaking his rule and going
to an afternoon tea at the Goodwins.
When he entered the drawing room
he talked first to Mrs. Goodwin, with
whom he was a great favorite. “Have
you seen Bee?’ she inquired after
awhile. “She is pouring tea over in
that corner.” So Arthur presently
wandered over in that direction, and
.when he saw that Beatrice was quite
alone, he went up to her.
“How do you do, Miss Goodwin,” he
said coolly.
“Awfully warm, isn’t it?” she said
rather . casually, looking past him.
“Tea? How many lumps?”
“Nothing at all, thank ‘you.” And
he went away as if drinking tea and
eating small cakes was a very bore-
some thing, indeed. But when he saw
Patricia Deering sitting in a corner by
herself, looking rather bored but pre-
eminently charming in her remote
loveliness, he went to her and bowed
low. “Your royal highness, a poor
wandering knight feels dull and bored.
Will your graciousness permit him to
bask for a space?”
She scanned him with amused blue
eyes and yet, behind that blue gaze
one might have noticed sudden pain
and a great hurt. It was with a sud-
den catch of the breath that she
laughed softly. “Rest ° awhile, Sir
Knight, in the same place beside me
where you used to linger in days gone
by!” Then her eyes were veiled by
the unusually long, thick fringes of
her eyelashes. Perhaps she could see
the dark color fly to his cheeks .and
even to his forehead, but she might
not have noticed a startled flash in
his dark eyes as he sat down beside
her. Digby had deserted Patricia’s
undoubted charm for the glitter of
dark Beatrice, and now Bee had
whimsically been playing cruelly with
him. When a man of his age—twen-
ty-seven—courted a girl, his intentions
were usually serious enough, but Bee
was almost ten years his junior and
was probably still dreaming! As for
Patsy Deering he felt the old-time
comfort in her companionship, and al-
though she made no effort to hold him
or to attract, he was boyishly hoping
that she would invite him to come out
to the old Deering place as he used
to do.
“Why so deep in thought, poor Sir
Knight?” asked Patricia.
“Oh—I1 was thinking—I am sure you
wouldn’t mind that, Patsy,” but his
tone was startied—apologetic.
“Think away, Arthur,” she mur-
mured gathering herself together to.
arise—it was hard to leave him now,
just when he had come to her for
comfort—but their world must not
know how eager she was to grasp at
this lost lover. “I must go on to the
Cameron’s tea.” :
“Will you give me a lift?” he asked"
with the old eagerness, and when she
nodded cerelessly, her heart beat fast-
er, as they moved toward Mrs. Good-
win to say farewell.
“Aren't you going to stay and have
some tennis with Bee?” inquired Mrs.
Goodwin,
Arthur glanced over to where Beat-
rice was surrounded by a number of
lads of her own age. She was looking
at him, then, and her fine line of black
eyebrows lifted, but her accompany-
ing smile was inviting.
He smiled and nodded at Beatrice,
but followed Patricia Deering down
to her car. Would he have been in-
terested if he had known that with
his departure Beatrice’s gayety de-
parted and that her dark face grew
cold and wistful?
“It does seem good to me to see
you two together again,” whispered
blithe Mrs. Cameron to first one and
then the other of her old favorites,
Patricia Deering and Arthur Digby,
and it was with a peculiarly boyish
appreciation that he received Patri-
cia’s carelessly spoken invitation.
“Come out some time, Arthur. You
know the way!”
And Arthur Digby suddenly found
himself inbued with the old vigor and
desire for lovely Patricia, and all at
once discovered that he had loved her
all the time more than any other girl
in the world, and that his running
after Beatrice Goodwin had been
merely the fluttering of the math for
a passing flame.
So that when Patricia and Arthur
were married, they were destined to
be happy ever after.
