Filmy F rocks‘ for Gradua '

1

 

r

ESIGNERS have succeeded in
writing “youth" into all the lovely
frocks designed for this year's grad-
uates. They have chosen illmy fabrics
and made them up in styles 'ihat are as
dainty as the flowers of spring. and
these some flowers are made much of
in their decoration. In fabrics organdy
is a long way in the load of a list
that lnciuder not (plain and dotted)
in silk or cotton. line voile, lace.
swiss, crepedochlne find other crepe-s.
One reason for the success of or-
gandy is that it provides its own
trimmings. Frills. ruchings. fimvcrs.
petals and other decorations made of
it are not outrlvnled by any other
kind of ornament. Tucks and hem-
stltching are suited to it and it makes
the most buoyant and youthful of
sashes. The graduation frock pic—
tured is an example of its translation
into just the right character of dress
J for the young maid. In this frock
narrow tucks and val lace edging
make a setting for embroidered daisies
done in mercerlzed floss. with white
petals and yellow centers. Daisies

 

made of while organdy are set about
the girdle of another pretty frock and
on a model having a lung tunic made
up of several panels. they appear. em.
broirlered in white and yellow. at the
bottom of each panel. Strips of or~
gaudy plcoted on the edges are
gathered along the center to four
ruchlngs that edge the panels.

(lrgnndy frocks have wide hems
often cut in shallow scallops at the
top and headed with frills. The.”
frills. with picot edges. are used
alone for decorating many frocks and
often placed in fesioons running in
3 parallel rows on the skirt and bodice.
Wide. hemstitcbed tucks or narrower
uni-s edged with narrow lace are per-
haps the best liked of all decorative
features. Nearly all net dresses are
tucked and the tucks bordered with
narrow satin ribbon stitched to their
edges. or with narrow lace.

materials, give her all the freedom she

the part of her mother.

permanent. so beneficial have been
the results obtained by home demon-
stration agents working in rural
homes. The fundamental purpose of
this work, according to a report just
issued by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. is to assist the
rural housewife to apply business
principles to her daily tasks for the
purpose of making the farm home as
cfilclent as the farm. thereby produc-
ing a more satisfactory and perma-
nent .type of rural life. The report
referred to is Department Circular
141, which deals with the results of
home demonstration work in the 83
northern and western states.

Became Cit-operative Movement.

The work actually begun in August.
1914. when an agent was appointed
in Erie county. N. 1.. on state funds.
In 1016. it became a co-operatlve
movement supported by federal. state
and local funds. During that year
four agents were appointed. In‘1919
the number had grown to more than
600. Then war emergency funds were
cut off. and in the following year the
number dropped to 286. Although in
this one year the force of workers
as well as state on. federal funds
were reduced nearly one-half. the ap-
propriations made by the local people
for homo demonstration work nearly
doubled. and agents were retained in
diroct m to W h... on.
people whom they, served. according
to the circular.

Home demonstration agents afford
an avenue by which tho state agricul-
tural colleges and the United States
Department of Agriculture offer the
practical results of their research and
experiments in home economics to
housewives of the country. These
agents encourage the rural house
wives to bring from their store of
practical knowledge and experience
the lessons they have learned in home
management that will be valuable to
other women in the community. and
so help to make this information avail-
able to all. The home demonstration

Home Demonstration in the Kitchen.

I(Proper-ad by the United Stats- Deport-
ment of Agriculture.)

Home demonstration work. ,though
comparatively new, is looked upon as

11:: of practical demonstration rather
than the lecture or text book.

The most successful home demon-
stration agents. according to the cir-
cular. aim to train local leaders who.
by putting the best practices into their
own homes. extend the instruction to
larger numbers of women. At least
two—thirds of the agent's time is spent
with farm women in their homes, dis-
cussing the varied problems of house-
keeping and other matters in which
farm women are interested. Aside
from interesting women in better
home management. modern conveni-
ences. food production and preserva-
tion. better food for the family. home
nursing. and the selection and making
of clothing. the agents are devoting
their efforts to promoting community
enterprises.

Three types of such enterprises are
developed: The economic type which
includes food preservation. the hot
school lunch. co-operatlve laundries.
co-operative buying and selling asso~
ciatlons. labor-saving devices. and sal-
vage shops. The social type ls con-
cerned with such things as recreation
centers. civil improvements. and rest
rooms. The educational type em-
braces farm home tours. libraries, and
magazine circles and the like.

Local Aid Needed.

A county organization in 1 tension
work which desires the appointment
of a home demonstration agent should
first communicate with the extension
service at the stats agricultural col~
logo. or win: the agricaltnrai agent In
the county. the circular suggests. ‘It
is necessary for the local organiza-
tion or county to give some financial
support to the home demonstration
agent. though the greater part is sup-
plied by the state and federal funds.
To supply that share which is re
qulrcd of the local organization. there
have been organized within the put
two years in the majority of the 33
northern and western states what is
popularly known as the “family" or
"new" farm bureau. This is an asso-
ciation of people interested in rural
affairs. the membership of which com-
prises men. women, and young people
who generally pay a uniform members

PUTTING MORE MILK
IN FOOD OF FAMILY

Numerods Dishes Are Enumer-
ated by Home Specialists.

 

 

Milk Toast. Cream Soups. Creamed
Vegetables, Fish and Scalloped
Dishes Ara Favored—Recipe
for White Sauce.

 

Milk toast. cream soups. creamed
vegetables, creamed fish and scalloped
dishes are all good ways of putting
more milk into the daily food of the
family, say home economics specialists
in the United States Department of
Agriculture. The milk for all of these
is thickened into a sauce. thick or thin.

To make the sauces, melt the fat.
stir in the flour. add the milk gradu-
ally, and cook until thickened. stirring
constantly unless a double boiler is
used. All measurements are level in
these recipes.

THE LATE GUEST.
T'WAS nearly the end of the season:
in fact, it was for some of the W000
folk. and as yet Mr. Fox had not given
his yearly dinner party.

 

waiting for an invitation from Mr. Fox
before the ground was covered with
snow and food scarce.

But wise Mr. Fox was waiting with
a purpose in view, and it was that Mr.
Bear should begin his winter nnp be-
fore he gave his winter party. “He
always eats so much." said Mr. Fox.
when thinking it over. “that a body
never has enough left even to make
a_ soup. let alone’ a picked-up dinner."

And so while the wood folks waited
for the invitations to be out Mr. Fox
waited for Mr. Bear to go to sleep.
and every day he walked past Mr.
Bear's house to listen for his loud.
deep breathing.

Of course. Mr. Fox intended to leave
an invitation under Mr. Bear‘s door
and pretend he did not know he had

gone to sleep. and so when he did at
last hear Mr. Bear taking long. deep
breaths he hurried home and got the
invitations and slipped one under Mr.
Bear's door; as well as under the doors
of all the other wood folks.

The night of the dinner party every-
body had arrived when Mr. Fox. look-
ing very innocent. said: "Mr. Bear is
late; I hope he has not fallen asleep.
1 know I am a little late in giving my
party. but I was trying to get some
wary nice honey especially for Mr.
Bear. I hope. after all my trouble. he
is not going to miss it."

Mr. Coon said he passed Mn. Bear‘s
"house that afternoon and heard sounds

PROBABLY the best way of show-
ing the diiference between these
two words, in correct usage, is to givo
axumples. The following two sea-
tences will illustrate this:

"My time is limited. so I shall not
be able to go further into the sub-
Ject." "We have to travel ten miles
farther before we reach our destina-
don."

It will be seen from the foregoing
examples that the word “further" I-
to be used when the writer or speaker
intends to give the idea of quantity.
or degree. and the word “further”
when the application is to actual dis-
tance. Thus. do not say. “Sauna!!-
cisco is further from New York than
Chicago is.” but “further from New
York.” In the language of the gram-
mar-inns. “farther" is the comparative
of “far." and “further" is derived from
the old Anglo-Saxon word “fore."-
