in Fine Fabrics, Charming Colors ■rer.ch Designers Have Pro vided Wonderful Array of Wearables. It is usually interesting, sometimes (musing, often instructive, to observe tte Parisian interpretation of Amer- Jjan tn ste in dress as it is illustrated in the French models designed to in t-i -ne the fancy of women of fashion on this side of the ocean, says a fash ion writer in the New York Times. Anything bearing the stamp of a Paris designer is no longer guarantee of its acceptance here, and styles are ob viously modified or especially built to please" a larger audience than a French one. Sometimes the result is felicitous, sometimes otherwise and some strange Ideas are expressed in the creations that emanate from Parisian ateliers, to live for a day, a season, or longer. • ■ VrXBKosJ.

Each of these and the others well known to women of fashion have some mark by which their models are known—a collar, a belt, a garniture, or other detail. Occasionally one shows an originality very chic, as for example, the little red seals with which Yteb —that gifted Russian woman of nobie ancestry who employs her tal ents in dress design—points up some of her simpler daytime frocks. Accessories Are Important. Accessories of costume are of the greatest importance this season. Plainest of nondescript gowns will serve to illustrate the charm of the scarf that is just now having a vogue and is shown in an incredible variety. Scarfs of every color and shade and every combination of colors under the sun, and in all the possible materials, constitute one of the most important sections of every shop, large or small. There nre scarfs of woven jersey, with one side in “loud” blocks or stripes, and the other a plain color, repeating one of those in the pattern. These, some quite heavy, replace the angora and the knitted wool mufflers of the earlier season. Gossamer weight scarfs are woven or knitted of pretty colors, in plaids, checks, stripes, mixtures of any of the new colors that have been brought out in the lat est things. These light downy scarfs, and those of soft silk and crepe, especial ly the new romantically named Molly-0 crepe, are for utility ns well as for the dressy effect they give. They are worn with one-piece gowns, with the tnllleurs, with morning or af ternoon dress and for sports. Many of the French frocks of voile, foulard, crepe, or whatever, have scarfs attached, usually of a plain color, faced with the material of the dress itself, and forming a part of the cos tume. Some strikingly gay scarfs of silk are formed of two or three colors sewn in strips; one, for example, be ing of white, scarlet and black, one strip of each forming an IS-incli-wide scarf suggestive of the race and other sports events. They are quite fetching with the white flunnel suits that are so smart, now, and will add snap to any plain colored suit. They are best, however, with all white or black. In the plain colors that many wom en find more becoming than the fig ured scarfs, many delightful combina tions are shown. White, with wide ends of blue, orange, scarlet and all of the latest shades, are exceedingly popular. Needlework and designs from many countries ore used in the latest scarfs. Those In the lighter fabrics are particularly ornate. The art of Spanish. Hungarian. Ukrainian, Czecho slovak and other peoples is seen on these ornamental scarfs, but the most effective, and that which appears to have the most popular appeal, Is the Russian. Among the evening scarfs are misty tulles, bordered with ostrich, and chif fons embroidered In gold and silver thread or the finest flosses. This fairy like combination of tulle and feathers or fur is very popular. their crest embroidered In color on their white tailored overblouses, or on those of any plain color. Overblouses of the ‘‘dressier sort are ornate affairs. The colors in which they are shown are enchanting. There Is a craze for powder blue, and manv beautiful models are embroid ered’ in a delicate tracery with gilt or silver, and some in a darker shade of blue, which Is a strikingly smart combination.

Daddy s &Mvei\ii\s Taiiy Tale ARY GRAHAM BONNER JL .i— COfYUQM IV VO T|*N union ■■■■ —— KINKAJOU’S PUNISHMENT Kinkajou is popular. Not only In the zoo where he lives, but he has many friends among girls and boys who want to hear about him. “Tell us more about little Kinka- Jou, that cunning little animal with the long tail and the dear little fnce who looks something like a monkey, hut who isn’t one at all,” they ask. And so tiiis is to be about Kinkajou and it is a true story just as Kinkajou Is a real little animal, a dear, friend ly, affectionate little animal. Kinkajou loves bananas. He loves ice cream. He is fond of good things to eat. He eats daintily and prettily and his cunning little fnce and his bright little eyes show his great enjoyment over his food. He looks very appealing vhen he asks for more. This Is to be the story of Kinkn jou’s prank and Kinkujou’s punish ment. We will call him Kink for short. Kink was such a pet and was so tame that he had been allowed for many months to wander around the zoo house where lived the small ani mals. Sometimes he would wander just outside the door and sit In the sun shine. Often many of Ills friends would come to see him and, carrying him in their arms, they would take him for walks under the beautiful trees In the park, where the air was so pleasant and cool. They would "treat” him, too. Yes, they would buy him Ice cream cones which were on sale in the park. Kinkajou didn’t know anything about "buying.” He simply knew that they would give him delicious treats such ns this. He didn’t have any money in his pockets, because he hadn’t any pockets. Also, because he was fed and housed and given plenty of liberty and amuse ment and fun, he never had to spend nny money for anything. One day It was very hot. Kink wan dered about the animal Ih>ubo. Then lie decided he would sit on the step Just outside. He had his dinner and lie had had a little sleep. Somehow or other there was some thing he wanted. W’as he hungry? Was it food that he wanted? He didn't quite know what he wanted. He wished someone would come •ind call on him. No visitors had come near him and the keeper was busy this afternoon. He was really quite a lonely little kinkajou. And he had been used to so much petting. Here he wanted some pet ting and no one was near to pet him. Then he saw that nearby, the place where there was always Ice cream was empty. No one was near. The man who handed out the fee cream cones was away, it seemed. Although Kink had never had to pay for Ids ice cream he knew that he mustn’t go and help himself. That he had always known was wrong to do. He knew he mustn’t take his din ner off the wagon filled with food for the small animals, even though gome would he for him. He knew he must wait until the keeper gave It to him. But the day was so hot and he was so lonely and there was Ice cream so near. Over to the Ice cream went Kink. There was a great bjg pail filled with jee cream. Kink got the cover off. Then he had a feast. Oh, such a fenst he had! But the man came bacu :o his lee cream stand and found Kink there. Naughty Kink! So Kink was kept In his cage In the zoo for three whole days and was Juat like any of the other animals. Oh. It was a very hard punishment 1 And when they let Kink out again he told Ms keeper, with his expressive little eyes, that never again would he steal ice cream 1 There Was a Great Big Pall. Avoid Injury in Harvesting Seed Most Potato Growers Do Not; Appreciate Importance of Proper Handling. (Prepared by tha United State* Department of Aurlculture.) The average seed-potato grower does not fully appreciate the Importance of using every means to prevent injury to the tubers from rough handling dur ing the process of harvesting and stor ing, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Mechanical In juries to a tuber are sources for the entrance of Infection which rapidly spreads to other tubers which come in contact with the injured one. If the crop is grown on land which contains many small stones the tubers are al most certain to be more severely in jured than when grown in a sandy loam soil. Hand digging is not al ways feasible, but it is believed that where small stones abound in the soil it will be desirable to harvest the home seed plat by hand. Much Injury will he avoided if the seed stock de signed for planting the field plat for the ensuing year Is picked directly into crates in which it is allowed to remain throughout the storage period. Proper Storage. Storage conditions necessary to In sure vigorous seed at planting time Hre more easily provided In the North than In the South. In the former re gion a well-constructed cellar, pit, or cave serves reasonably well. The main thing is to keep the room tem perature sufficiently low to retard germination. The ideal seed tuber Is one which has not wasted any of Its stored-up energy by excessive loss through sprouting. It should he firm with the first sprouts just showing. Such tubers can he depended upon, If suitable conditions prevail, to stnrt quickly when planted and to make n vigorous growth. Plans for Seed.

(Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) In some localities poultry Is largely responsible for tuberculosis Infection among swine, according to the find ings of the United States Deportment of Agriculture. Although scientific and laboratory studies of the different types of tuberculosis have thus far not yielded definite Information us to the degree in which the various types of tubercle bacilli affect animals of dif ferent species, field reports show clear ly that swine are susceptible to Infec tion from both poultry and bovine sources.

In the opinion of de partment authorities, the grontest need of the large Southern truck grow er at present Is that of suitable stor age facilities for handling fall ship ments of seed potatoes. This would do away with the risks -of midwinter shipment and enable them to buy seed In the fall when the price is usually much, below that of later shipments.
