Concerning School Frocks for Fall
JK?.
WA.
All the long procession of maids,
from kindergarten tot to college girl,
will be fittingly clad this fall In sim
ple and substantial clothes. Whether
it is because of lXo war or for other
reasons, the new frocks for children
nro unusually plain nnd they are the
forerunners of fall styles. It Is un
likely that anything very different will
follow them for they nro tastefully de
signed. School outfits may be got un
derway now with success assured since
all straws. that show which way the
winds of fashion blow, point toward
simplicity of design as. a dominant fea
ture of coming styles.
Furthermore, it Ts the pnrt of pa
triotism to make UVcr and use again
nil woolen clothes. Dresses that can
not bo remodeled for grown people will
servo In place of mw goods for mak
ing children's frocks and this con
servation of woolen mnterlals Is some
thing to be proud of. At the right of
the plcturo abovo there is a dark -serge
frock for n girl of eight years or more
which hns every requirement of a suc
cessful school dress nnd suggests n
model for n mndc-ovcr dress. It hns
a plain bodice nnd plnlted skirt. It
Is brightened with white braid nnd
has two very practical pockets. Hut
what will delight its wearer more are
Its soldierly touches In the shoulder
strops nnd nnrrow strap that extends

Hand-Sewing on Undermuslin
Women who sew well find needle
work among tho plcnsantest of occu
pations during the long, warm days of
midsummer. It is a good time In
which to mnko up undcrmusllns nnd
grnco the sheer soft mnterlals that nre
used theso days for underclothes with
hnnd sewing nnd fnncy stitches. Theso
harmonize with tho dainty fabrics
used better than machine work.
Only lightweight nnd sheer wenves
of cotton nnd silk concern tho maker
of underwenr In these times. The
choice lies among soft, wnsbnblo silks
nnd satins, including much crepo do
chine and other wash silks, and
batiste, cotton crepo nnd nainsook. In
silks, crepo do chine is tho favorlto and
in cottons, batiste.- Both these nro
liked In light pink nnd flesh color as
well ns they nro In white, nnd it is
likely that tho number of garments
mado In pink exceeds that made In
white. The favorite finish for crepo
de chine is Val or cluny lace, French
knots, hemstitching, flno tucks and u
llttlo embroidery. Recently consider
able filet has been used In night
dresses. Tho long-sleeved nightdress nppenrs
to be n thing of the past. Of tho two
models shown In tho picture one has
very short kimono sleuves nnd the oth
er Is sleeveless. The gown nt tho left
Is of white batiste with n short yoke
fiom the belt over the right shouldei
to the belt again. Any of the (In lie
colors In wool dress goods will look
well made In this way.
The frock at the left Is successful In
either wool or cotton. It Is pictured
made of plain chambray with bandings
and collar of white pique. Its now
features appear In the band on one
sleeve In the management of tjie col
lar nnd In the silt pocket at tho right
side of the skirt.
Serge and Georgette. -Very
effective nre dresses of n com
bination of navy blue serge and georg
ette. A brand-new model In this
combination Is made with a nnrrow
skirt and a sleeveless Jacket of tho
serge, having n full-length pnnel In
the back. Georgette makes the sleeves
and fills In the front In u sort of apron
effect, nnd this section Is beaded In
brilliant colors, n fringe of bends
across the front of the apron, which
reaches to the knees, repenting tho
color of tho embroidery motif.
In Dyeing Anything.

then rinse them thoroughly In clear

Is threaded through tho beading In
this slip-over gown nnd tied In n

BREAD MADE WITHOUT SUGAR
Two Processes Said to Havo Been
Worked Out by Milling Company
of Kansas City.
A niL'tluid of tiiiikl-v; biend with
neither sugar nor mult Iiiih been
winked out by n, milling company of
KiuixiiH City, according to tbi Baker's
Helper. This process use germ mid
dllng, which nro ordinarily sold for
live Mock food, Seven pounds of
germ middling are weighed out for
uo with UK) pounds of Hour, placed
In u vessel nnd scalded with water.
After It lias stood for u short tli.it.
the resltlluui N strained out. mid the
water Is used In making tip the
dough, milling ni much witter as N
neeesviiry. Sponge made In this way
without tho use of sugar or mult
shows an Increased expansion, with a
loaf of line texture and exceptional
flavor, n trifle whiter than when
sugar Is used In baking. The process
lias been perfected In the milling
company's laboratory, and Is now be
ing applied commercially. Another
process consists in taking f per cent
of the Hour to be used In the hteml
batch and let It stand for several
hours In live times Its volume of wa
ter, ut a uniform temperature of lf0
degrees. This makes sugar unnoc
cssury, but does not dispense with
the desirability of using mult.
Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.
Chicago. The largest single order
for bacon anil canned meats In the
history of the world IW.riliO.UOO
pounds of bacon and III 1,000.000 pounds
of canned meat has Just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department.
t S. A., for the Ameilcnn Army over
seas. I.ouls F. Swift, In commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1,000,
000 hogs, and If other work were
dropped to produce It, would bo equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five, weeks. However, six months
111 elapse before deli cry Is to bo com
peted. Mr. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pa: the live
stock producers nbout ?S0,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over $50,000,000
for about 1100,000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two nnd one-half times as
much as In the pre-war period.
The whole order will bo mndo up be
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers' facilities
have been devoted to filling mllltnry
demnnds. in order to get out the
canned goods the packers will llnd It
necessary to employ night nnd day
shifts of dinners. Notwithstanding
tho fact that tho products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not n
single complaint hns been received on
meats delivered to tho armies abroad.
Tho five pnekers nre now killing
nbout 800,000 hogs weekly to keep
nbrenst of martial and domestic needs."
Categorical Denial.
"But, madam, If you don't want this
set of Shakespeare's works, maybe
your husband thero would like to havo
tho books."
"Umphl" replied the strong-minded
female, with a sniff. "Maybe he'd like
to have an automobile and a big roll
of money and n night off occasionally
to run around with the chickens, but n
fat chance he hns to see his dreams
come true I Good day."
"When a man tells u woman a joke
ho usunll has to follow It up with an
explanation.
Some men can't screw their courage
up without n corkscrew.
