GAY SHAWLS AGAIN
IN MILADY’S FAVOR
Colorful Products of Kash
mir in Fashion for
Evening Wear.
Still another shawl is now returning
to fashion along with the so popular
paisley, says a fashion writer in the
New York Tribune. This is the kash
mir, or cashmere shawl known so well
to our grandmothers during the last
century. At that time cashmere
shawls were the vogue in France, be
ing introduced with much success with
the first Napoleon and continuing in
fashion until the last one, at the end
of the I'ranco-Prussian war.
Now once again their great beauty
of intricate patterns and color hast
turned attention back to India, where
tiio original kashmirs were made for
the courts, long centuries before the
fashion was introduced into Europe.
The basis of their excellencies, one
finds, is the fine, soft underfleece
called pashm or paslimina, of the
shawl goat which inhabits the elevat
ed regions of Tibet. From this mate
rial was woven and embroidered the
sumptuous garments and shawls that
were to become known all over the
world, with many of them finding their
resting places among the costly pos
sessions of museums and collectors.
There are two main types of shawls,
says Ann' Sessions Cushing In ‘‘Arts
and Decorations,” one woven in small
pieces and put together with the
needle so perfectly that in many cases
the joining is wholly concealed and
the shawl embroidered or pashmina
woven in one piece and of plain or
self-colors. This latter type may be
embroidered in one piece, embroid
ered over a foundation pieced and in

Costume Blouses in Satin and Georgette
Not one stroke behind the design
ers of tunic dresses are the creators of
blouses. If a tunic dress is good there
are times when a tunic blouse may be
better, according to their philosophy.
They put them forth under the name
of costume blouses if the blouse be
>ong enough to warrant it, or as over
biouses if the peplura part Is a little
shorter. In either cnse the design is
apt to be ruther elaborate in beading
or other trimming, although seldom so
in cut. Frocks are more elaborate in
the cut of the skirt or its drapery than
in waist, and this leaves the
blouses in tlie same relative position.
The cut therefore remains simple, but
colors and elaborntlon are unlimited.
The lingerie blouse comes back into
use with certain changes and the
crepe de chine blouse continues as one
of the most useful adjuncts in the
wardrobe. The tailored blouse is a
thing in itself separate and of an en
tirely different order For the seml

nings of the caste system, are all
unique, but last, and really most Im
portant of all, is the perfection of the
design.
In their textile designs each objeci
is painted in its own proper color, hut
without shades of color or light and
shade of any kind, so that the orna
mentation looks perfectly flat. In
this way the natural surface of any
object decorated is preserved. This,
added to the harmony and distribution
of coloring, is the great charm of
Intlo-l’ersian art.
In woven or embroidered shawls
there Is usually a line around each
motif which harmonizes with the
ground. When large ornaments are
used they are filled with most minute
and exquisite details, as in the cone
patterns or so-called “palm” pattern
in kashmir shawls.
Whether through gifts of Napoleon
to Josephine, or, more probably, a nat
ural interest aroused-n both English
nnd French to adopt these garments
of luxury brought to notice by new
trade interests, kashmirs became the
rage and commanded great prices. In
this period, 1820-’TI, the weavers at
Srinagar and elsewhere in the Prov
ince of Kashmir numbered many thou
sands—from 1(5,000 to 20,000 looms be
ing in operation.

trimming in the same fabric is a form

crepe models.
An unusual blouse of crepe is orig
inal in its use of false pockets for
elaboration. A light tone silk faces
triangular flaps which open as if a
pocket were placed between. One of
these pocket arrangements is placed
either side of the waist and on one
side a slash extends to the bottom of
the blouse with tiny buttons holding

Observing Arbor
Day Is Big Event
Associated With Patriotic
and Esthetic as Well as
Economic Ideas.
(Prepared by the United States Department
or Agriculture.)
Arbor day lias become associated all
over the United States with patriotic
and esthetic as well ns economic ideas.
It is at once a means of doing prac
tical good to the community anil an
incentive to civic betterment, says the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. The planting of trees by school
children is usually accompanied by
ceremonies intended both to Impress
upon those present the beauty of trees
and their effect in Improving the np
pearnnee of school grounds, streets,
parks and highways and to lead them
to a realization of the value of com
munity national foresight.
Time of Observance Varies.
The time of observance of Arbor day
varies greatly in different states and
countries, being determined somewhat
by the climatic conditions. Sometimes
n day which is already a holiday is
selected, as In Alabama and Texas,
where Washington’s birthday lias been
chosen. In many states of the Union
it is combined with “bird day.” In
general the date Is eally In the year
In the South and Is set further along
toward summer in the more northern
states, beginning In February and end
ing In May. More than half the states
have enacted a law for the observance
of that day.
Planting of trees on Arbor day enn
provided a direct, economic resource
only in comparatively treeless regions
or where windbreaks and timber and
fuel for the home and neighborhood
use are needed Forest plantations,
whose chief purpose is the raising of
timber for commercial use or the pro
tection of watersheds upon which
cities and towns depend for their wa
ter supply, must be left to foresters.
However, yearly plantings accompa
nied by appropriate exercises serve to
keep the people continually reminded
of the value and necessity of the work
of the foresters, and they have such a
far-reaching effect on the community
spirit, and through that on economic
ujfd social hotteEwanU-tlmt-no- commu
nity can afford to neglect Arbor day.
Teach Important Lesson.
An even more important lesson —the
damage done to our natural parks and
woods by tlie thoughtless and selfish
vandal—may be taught through n Ju
dicious observance of tlie day. What
fire is to the forest, this marauder Is
to tlie community park and woodlands
In the destruction of ornamental trees
and shrubs. Tlie national and state
governments are using every possible
means to educate tlie public In tiie care
of the forest, whose relation to the
welfare of man Is becoming more nnd
better understood with every passing
year of education nnd co-operation.
Alfalfa Is One of Most
Profitable Farm Crops
Where the soil is suitable for al
falfa, It is one of the most profitable
crops for the stockman, the diversified
farmer, or the cotton farmer, and
where possible, every farm should
have an alfalfa patch, the size to be
governed by the amount of hay nnd
pasturage needed to maintain the live'
stock kept on the farm. Many hnve
been discouraged because some writer
would have one think flint Its require
ments are such as to exclude the aver
age dirt farmer. By following a few
simple suggestions any farmer can
tell whether his soil Is suited to grow
alfalfa, and should the soli be suit
ed, he can, by carefully observing a
few points, grow It successfully and
with profit to himself.
Treating Oats for Smut
There are three steps In treating
oats for smut: l. Mix one pint of
formaldehyde In ten gallons of water.
2. Sprinkle the ten gallons of liquid
over 40 bushels of oats, shoveling the
oats so that the solution Is evenly dis
tributed. 3. Sack the oats when they
ore thorougtdy mixed and sow the
next morning.
Two men In three Hours can treat
and sock enough oats for 40 acres.
The formaldehyde can he secured at
my drug store.
Alfalfa Requirements
Alfalfa has Its speclul requirements
ind (lie man who tries only once usual
ly fails because he doesn’t study the
game enough to locate the hazard.
And he doesn’t try over ngnln because
be gives up after the first plunge.
Benefits of Legumes
Legumes produce fertilizers, fertil

Pure Bred Holstein
Makes Great Record
Bess Johanna Ormsby Seta
Mark for Butterfat.
By producing eanrly 1,200 pounds of
butterfat in one year, Bess Johanna
Ormsby, u pure bred Ileistein, recent
ly completed a yenrly record wbfdi
makes her one of the four lending bnf
terfnt cows in the Uuit td Stales. Her
yeurly production, ns announced by
tlie advanced registry department of
the Holstein-Kriesinn Association of
America, is 30,143.3 pounds of milk and
1,198.09 pounds of butterfat —equal to
1,497.6 pounds of butter. She also has
the distinction of being the only cow in
tlie world with four seven-day records
averaging over 40 pounds of butter
and three ten-months records each
over 1,000 pounds of butter. She la
owned by Winterthur farms. Winther

only cow in the world with four yenrly
records each over 1,000 pounds of but
ter made In connection with four
seven-day records each over 3U tmuntls
of butter.
The grain ration consumed by Bess
Johanna Ormsby during her last test
period is small considering the record
made. She received foin 15 to 20
pounds dally of a grain mixture mode
up to 200 pounds bran, 200 pounds
ground oats and 45 pounds each of
hominy, oil meal, distillers’ grain and
gluten. In addition, she consumed
daily eight pounds corn silage, five
pounds beet pulp, 15 pounds hay and
40 pounds of beets. During the summer
months beets were replaced with #1
pounds of a soiling -’rop,
kept In a box stab Itfoughoui the
year. During the summer season she
wns allowed the run of c small
paddock for about two hours every
day, and was out In an exercising
paddock for about two Lours each dajr
during tlie winter.
Reduction Made in Cost
by Using Very Best Seed
If fanners had to use the seed gen
erally grown fifty years ngo, many of
(Item would be bankrupt nnd the re
mainder would be producing crops at
40 per cent greater cost than at the
present time. Likewise It would be
possible to make a' further reduction
of 15 pei cent by using today the very
best seed of varieties known to be
adapted to our conditions. These
statements are based on figures com
piled by the Kansas State Agricultural
college In which seed such as was
used In early days lias been compared
with varieties generally grown at the
present time
