Ensemble Fashion
for Evening Wear
Hats and Coats Included in
Smart Innovations of
Present Season.
Now comes the evening ensemble,
even with hats and coats. The an-
nouncement from Paris that these ac-
cessories were to be added to the for-
mal costume was rather startling and
at first not wholly credited. An en-
semble on this very line, however, was
presented with complete success in one
of the smart fashion revues in New
York, writes a fashion correspondent
in -the New York Times. Manikins,
dressed in handsome fabrics - and
sheer stuffs for a formal occasion,
were wearing small evening “hats”
made of rich passementerie, gold with
pearls, strass and pearls and finely
embroidered hats of all pearls in
natural tints and in the pinks, blues,
lavenders and shell greens in which
they are now to be had.
Also, they wore, in the most non-
chalant manner, short, decolette,
sleeveless “coats” over evening gowns
—of which these tiny jackets were a
part. The ensembles were artistic
and complete and the details so subtly
worked out that the effect was the
reverse of startling and altogether
charming.
This latest phase of unusual com-
binations in evening dress was but
one of many. Another is the bolero.
Whatever the model, the bodies usu-
ally take a bolero form in many of
the gowns. This feature of last year,
which had its first success in after-
noon dress, has now appeared in the
sheerest stuffs
treatments in the sort of costume that
will be worn for dining at a restau-
rant, the play, or for the smart supper
‘dances.
The bolero is made in practical
jacket form and may be removed. Its
‘most important adaptation is in the
|decolette bodice in which it is seen in
a variety of designs. One was shown
in a dinner gown of black point
d’esprit, which is exceedingly fashion.
able this season and is combined with
wide bands of black chantilly lace
over shell-pink chiffon. The waist was
decolette, cut round amd deep, lower
at the back than in the front. Net
fastened to each shoulder strap had
the appearance of being dropped to
fall in graceful folds between, ending
just above the hips. The arrangement
was the same, back and front, and the
curving lines were repeated: in the
skirt by the use of bands of the lace.
/In both bolero and skirt the dip of the
‘drapery was longer at the back.
Girdle Concealed by Bolero.
In another evening gown of sea-
green chiffon the bodice was long and
{soft in front, and there was a girdle,
(which was concealed at the back of
‘the bolero. It swung free, with con-
siderable fullness. The entire bodice
was dotted with rhinestones that
|sparkled like dew drops on the sheer
green. The skirt had a deep circular
'flounce formed in intricate lines rip-

New Evening Gown of Net Dotted
With Blue Chenille:
pling about the bottom and converging
toward the middle front, where were
two large motifs of rhinestones be-
tween the belt line and the knee.
In a delightful evening costume,
which the designer Irfe describes as
“a fantasy in lace,” a bolero is used
as a part of the gown at the back,
where it is added to the bodice as 2a
{flounce, starting in a narrow plaited
frill on each shoulder and cascading
to a deep point. As one views this
‘model from the back it appears to be
just one graceful jabot from the top
‘of the low decollete meck line to the
|very tip of the skirt, which is a two-
|fiounce model all but touching the
floor. The skirt is just high enough
to show the jeweled heels of slippers
of pale green crepe de chine, which
are orngmented with large square
rhinestone buckles. The face of this
model is cired to a high luster and
veils a turquoise blue slip.
Lucien Lelong introduces one of his
versions of the bolero in a subtle man-
\ner, with tulle in six ‘ayers, not ruf-
and most delicate
fled, as is usual, but flat. This admits
of treatment as if it were a heavy
silk or satin. The skirt is fitted snug-
ly to the hips to keep the silhouette
slim and flares widely at the bottom.
It is high in front, somewhat longer
at the back and very long at each
side. The plain tulle surface is saved
from dullness with a large antique
buckle of brilliants, which holds in
front a crepe de chine girdle dropped
at the back to accentuate the bolero
bodice. This is detached at the lower
edge and then caught under in the
manner of a blouse.
Lace Over Taffeta.
Nicole -Groult, who never strains at
effect, achieves chic in an evening
gown of black chantilly lace over black
taffeta, in which the silk is not merely
a slip but a part’of the creation. In
this the sleeveless bodice of taffeta is
cut square in the neck, and the lace
which covers it as a blouse is draped
like a scarf from one shoulder and
carried across the back, forming a
bolero, which drops over a swathing
girdle of the silk. This is drawn to-

ward the front and gathered into a
chou, with long ends on one hip. The
upper part of the skirt is made of
lace, being slightly gathered across
the back and forming a panel in front.
The bottom flounce is gathered full
and flares sharply over an under-
flounce of the taffeta. %
One of the extremes in evening
dress shown this season is an original
model from a prominent New York
house. This is an artistic creation of
otte of five flounced tiers. The gown
has a simple bodice which disappears
under a belt of black velvet ribbon
embroidered in brilliants, with up-
turned ends crossed in front. This
outline is repeated in each of the three
flounces of the skirt, which ends just
below the knees in front and drops
low at the sides, one side being longer
than the other. The bodice of this
gown is cut loose at each side of the
belt and hangs in the form of a bolero
at the back. It has a strip of the
same velvet ribbon embroidered to
match the belt over each shoulder.
The extreme of the bolero mode is
the side girdle with which the hips
are swathed in some of the gowns,
the bodice being lifted to blouse at the
pack. This subtle and -sophisticated
design is being adopted by all the
prominent French couturiers in one
way or another. Louiseboulanger
makes a long, slim evening gown of
Japanese green noncrushable velvet
with a bodice that has a slender vest
of silver tinsel. This is crushed about
the waist and hips, meeting in front.
The skirt, which is slashed at the bot-
tom, dips low at the back and has
graduated panels at the sides, is at-
tached with a shirred heading and
lifted sharply in the middle.
Uses Neptune Green Moire.
Magdaleine Des Hayes, whose crea-
tions never vary from the thoroughly
feminine, makes & formal evening
gown of neptune green moire. In this
design the drapery is gracefully
swathed with a forward movement. It
is drawn low about the back and.
caught in front with an adornment of
emeralds and brilliants. The V-shaped
decollete neck line is finished with a
similar ornament, and the skirt, of
moire, untrimmed, is gathered full to
hang low at the back, and lifted high
in front. A Patou evening gown of
gold chiffon is made with two circular
flounces over gold metal tissue, the
material drawn low about the hips and
lifted in front where it is caught with
a buckle of yellow sapphires, through
which is drawn brown velvet ribbon
in long loops and streamers.
One other distinctive design for
evening is the gown of two colors and
two materials. This is necessarily less
formal and less elegant than the gown
made all of one fabric, but the models
shown from both French and Ameri-
can designers present a number of
‘elaborate creations ideal for dinner
and theater and for any informal eve-
ning affair. In such gowns the skirt is
usually made of velvet, moire or satin
and the attached bedice of satin, chif-
fon or metal brocade. The material is
plain and usually embroidered or
veiled with lace, or else it is a beaded
sheer fabric.

MEYERSDALE COMMER
Velvet Beans Are
Soil Improvers
Best Way to Plant This Crop
for Good Results Is
With Corn.
Velvet beans, while not recom-
mended for hay, are as valuable for
soil improvement as soy beans or cow-
peas and at the same time cost only
half as much.
“The best way to plant this crop for
good results is with corn,” says E. C.
Blair, extension agronomist at the
North Carolina State college. “They
will do as well or better with corn
than if planted alone and the grower
will receive a profit from the corn in
addition to improving his soil.”
Plant in Alternate Rows.
The corn and beans should be
planted in alternate rows, three feet
apart, dropping the beans six inches
apart on poor soil and about one foot
apart on rich soils. Cultivate the corn
until the bean vines have covered the
middle. In this way a ton or more of
vegetation, worth $14 in plant food
alone, will be added to each acre
planted to these crops.
On light sandy land or on very poor
soils velvet beans make a much better
growth than do soy beans, while on
good land they make equally as good
a growth and are much more valuable
as a fall grazing crop. Cattle may be
turned into the fields at frost and
grazed until the vines and seed are
gone.
Plant for Grazing.
Where the beans are planted for
grazing purposes, it is a good plan to
plant two rows of corn to one of vel-
vet beans. This gives a clear space
between rows for harvesting the corn
and will also furnish sufficient grazing
for the average farm animals.
Mr. Blair states that velvet beans
and the Biloxi variety of soy beans
grow together with excellent results.
The heavy stalks of the soy beans
help to hold up the beans, which makes
for a larger growth and a correspond-
ing increase in value to the land as
well as grazing,
Prune Grapes in Winter
to Get Best Results
Winter is the season for pruning
grapes—anytime when the wood isn’t
frozen, for then the vines are brittle
and will snap off if handled.
Pruning grapes is in reality thin-
ning the crop. The idea is to remove
enough wood so that the strength of
the vine will be thrown into fewer
bunches, and make them larger and
finer. In general this result will be
best gained by pruning the vine to
about 30 or 40 buds distributed over
four or five canes.
The size of the canes is important.
According’ to Michigan studies the
best yields are from canes about one-
fourth of an inch thick, measured be-
tween the fifth and sixth buds. Big
canes have spent their strength in
producing wood and are poor produc-
ers of buds.
There are several different systems
of pruning and training grapes, and
your agricultural college will be glad
to give you the best advice for your
section. :
Cut Out Over-Wintering
Cankers to Cure Blight
Get after the fire-blight during the
dormant season by cutting out the
over-wintering cankers, for they are
the sources of next year’s infection.
The cankers are often found at the
base of blighted twigs and are dark-
sunken areas in the bark. The cank-
ers should be cut out beyond the dis-
colored part of the inner bark. The
wound should be disinfected with cor-
rosive sublimate and painted over
with white lead paint, or coal tar.
Blighted twigs and branches should be
cut off during the growing season
about six inches below the blighted
part and the stub disinfected. The
disinfecting can be quickly done with
a swab on the end of a stick which
is carried in a bottle of disinfectant.
A fast growing tree is more suscep-
tible to fire-blight than a slow-grow-
ing one, and a tree in full bearing is
usually less susceptible than a young
tree.

Much heavier dressings of barnyard

soils during the winter than while the
vegetables are growing. In fact, chick-

is equal to two or three tons from the
dairy barn.

Meyersdale Boy
In Auto Accident
Late Saturday afternoon, as Albert
J. Bittner, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A.
Bittner of North Street was on his
way home from Lewisburg to spend
his Easter vacation, he met with what
might have been a serious accident.
Albert was bringing with him his
chum, Mr. Long, to spend Easter with
him. They were driving a Packard
sedan and traveling at a fair rate of
speed when one of the large balloon
tires blew out and threw the car off
the road. It crashed into a telephone
pole and was damaged considerable.
Fortunately neither of the boys was
injured with the exception of being
somewhat bruised.
Mr. Long was.driving and did the
best possible to keep the car in the
road, but was unable to do so. The
accident happened about three miles
from Loretta. It was necessary to be
towed in for repairs and Mr. Long
was compelled to cancel his visit to
Meyersdale, and wait until the car
was repaired and then return to
Lewisburg.
On account of the delay Albert did
not arrive home until Sunday morn-
ing. Although being rather sore and
stiff he was able to substitute for his
sister, Helen at the piano in Amity
Reformed Sunday School, Sunday
morning. Albert's friends were glad
to see him and hear him play.
Albert is a student in Buckneil
University. ®
