Chic Two-Piece Costume
to Be Worn This Summer

When summer days are here this
dainty two-piece costume in white and
yellow would be a wise choice to have
ready for all-around wear.
any particular type of costume. Morn
ing, afternoon nnd evening, for man
nish taiileurs or frilly feminine frocks,
plaiting is ever en regie. The entire
skirt of a dress by Miller Soeurs con
sists of only three flounces, each of
which Is minutely plaited. A grace
ful finale is lent to this model of
green crepe de chine through the fur
ther employment of plaiting to edge
the bertha collar and the turn-back
cuffs.
The evening mode is less subject to
the strictures of fashion than any oth
er type of costume. Here it is that
the designer may shake loose every
restraint and soar into the realms ot
fantasy. There are no don’ts—color,
cut and cloth know no master save
only the caprice of the maker. It is
curious to note that although the
couturier lias not been niggardly as
far as trimming and fabric are con
cerned, vivid hues are not the dom
inant evening colors nor are plait and
flounce inalienable adjuncts. The
outstanding shade is black, and rip
pling panels are the modish note ol
decoration. Go to the opera In New
York, or observe fashionable society
in Nice nnd Baris, and the majority
of black evening gowns will be a*
patent ns the absence of plaiting.
New Envelope Bag
The envelope bag is now a perma
nent part of the tailored costume.
Some of the new bags show delightful
little touches that stamp them as be
ing extremely up to date. A rather
small envelope bag of beige suede has
tn’e button fastening of the flap made
of a round moonstone set In etched
silver. "-side the bag are two l.ttle
flat cases, one for money nnd tbe oth
er for mirror nnd puff.
To Apply a Poultice
Always apply a poultice slowly.

after testing the poultice on back of

with flannel to keep the heat from es
caping.
dissipated tbe early disappointment
over the unchanged silhouette. Su
perlatives may he unblushlngly em
ployed In describing tbe r. lendld
phllanderings of tbe new mode. Blait,
flounce and tunic are the rungs on
which the Baris designer ascends the
heights.
Chanel was one of the first houses
to show the apron-like tunic several
seasons ago. She lias continued to
feature the idea and her present col
lection contains many lovely dresses
in this style. The apron motif allows
many variations —It may be shaped,
round, pointed or elongated with the
fullness at the sides, or it may be
plaited. The old-fashioned apron
style with narrow tie strings that knot
at the back is an ancient them?
which has been rejuvenated.
No Longer 111 Omen
It seems that the peacock Is no
longer a bird of 111 omen. The Chi
nere trend In fashion hjis made the
fowl fashionable again, and the long
fan of peacock feathers, with a handle
of Ivory, is a splendid adjunct to any
evening costume.

Animal Comfort

Everything Is Being Done in
Most Practical Ways to
Prevent Suffering.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Because In certain of Its experi
mental work it is necessary to use
live animals, the United States De
partment of Agriculture lias en vari
ous occasions been accused of prac
ticing unnecessary cruelty. Also it
lias been blamed for permitting cruel
ty In the handling of animals, for
example in transportation to market.
Sucli accusations are without reason
able foundation, says Dr. John It.
Mohler, chief of the bureau of animal
Industry, who maintains that Lite de
partment’s efforts have result* in the
prevention of suffering by millions of
animals and human beings.
In carrying on experimental work,
particularly that which has for its ob
ject the control of diseases, it is
necessary to use a few animals, but
In most cases tbe suffering of tbe sub
jects Is negligible If there Is any at
all. If tbe objectors had had their
way the suffering among animals and
human beings from ninny causes
would now be Infinitely greater than
It Is. A few examples should innke
this clear to those who wish to see.
Clean Up Texas Fever.
Previous to 1900 the cattle of our
southern states, an area comprising
about 750,000 squnre miles, were af
fected with Texas fever, a disease
which annually killed large numbers
and which so sickened the others that
they became poor and were relatively
unprofitable as producers of meat or
milk. Scientists of the department,
by the use of a few cattle, discovered
that the disease was carried from an
imal to animal by tbe blood-sucking
cattle tick, and the natural conclusion
wns that the eradication of the tick
would mean the disappearance of
Texas fever. This proved to be tbe
case. Tbe department almost Imme
diately undertook the stupendous task
of cleaning out the tick from the
herds of the South, and already nearly
three-fourths of the vast territory bus
been cleared of it by dipping the cat
tle at certain intervals In nn arsepicn!
solution and keeping them off Infested
pastures until the ticks there hnve
died. Asa result, millions of cnttle
have been permitted to live In health
and coinfort and to provide whole
some food.
However, the greatest benefit from
this discovery of the part plnyed by
the tick was reflected 'n the advance
made In human medicine. Ttie knowl
edge that diseases could be carried by
Insects wns new to medicine and Im
mediately led medical men to consider
tbe possibility that the spread of some
of the baffling diseases of mankind
might be explained In this way. As
n result of Investigations In which two
physicians deliberately sacrificed their
own lives the dreaded yellow fever
wns found to be carried by a certain
kind of mosquito ami control meas
ures were developed which have prac
tically wiped tills plague off the face
of the enKh. In the same manner It
was found possible to control malaria,
also cnrrifc.l by a mosquito, find n
number of other devastating diseases
have been found to be Insect-home.
Was the sacrifice of a few animals,
and even human beings, worth while?
It seems n needless question.
Worked on Dogs and Sheep.

tist of the department, working on
the control of Internal parasites of do
mestic animals, In which work he used
dogs and sheep principally, found that

Work to Prevent Suffering.
The Department of Agriculture ll
doing all It cun In the most practical
wifys to prevent animal suffering,
sometimes Indirectly by using animals
to discover new facts and sometime*
directly by enforcing laws providing
for the human handling of domestic
animals. The federal enactment known
as the twenty-eight-hour law, enforced
by the department, provides that ani
mals being shipped to market must

hours without unloading for watering
and feeding and rest. Although th*
department receives nn appropriation
of only S2S,(X>O a year (or this work,
it has done much to increase the com

markets. Within the past three years,
according to I)r. Mohler. violations ol
this law have been cut in half. Death*
of slock In transit hnve been reduced
to considerably less than 1 per cent
and traveling Inspectors report much
better conditions of handling, feeding
and watering.
The United Slates lias become the
greatest live stock country In the
world, and one of the reasons for the
attainment of tills position Is that In
this country much time and money
has been spent In developing method*
of preventing and eradicating dis
