tlher Motif* and Jade Tulle Over Satin—Tunics Are Edged With Fur. Brilliant vre muat be If we are to drew for the evealns Id enjr of the new frocks. The only choice left us U that between two loanners—that Is the brilliancy of color or briitlaucy of light reflected from spanxlee and IhKal cloths. A few qf the more conservative women still v car the browns and blacks of the curl/ acnwm. and these serve as u barkgronud to make the other frocks appear still more brilliant. With the amount of iipunyleu. sequins and metallic tissues used this would hardly appeal' nfresaary. but the lively shades of none nod purple are decidedly charming. A genius at scenic effects could hardly medley of rotors -with hotter results than was notable one evening lately at a small affair where the rc nod silver Hume frocks flashed up as vivid notes In contrast to the brown and Mart velvet gowns worn by the majority of the women. One cannot help hut note that most of the formal evening gowns atmw decided tendency to the sheath draping. and so closely Is the betr drawn In that It would not be possible ■use lace la this manner. Heavier t lertels sene as foundations and ovej^ d aperies of tulle or rhlffon may or may not exist. One thing is eridest and that Is a complete lack of anythine bordering on the quaint or nnaophlstlcated. Frocks of this type are strictly reserved for the Jenne fllle. Among the tight, sheatblike gowns Is one described as of green Jade tulle over a . satin foundation, the tulle embroidered in motifs of silver abd tufts of feel hers. Another U of black tulle embroidered la gold and black. This rondel also makes use of the feather trimming la black. Callofs evening gowns, recently exhibited In Paris, are described as altogether wonderful. One of Mack silk muslin Is shruudi-d In embroidered! tulle. A long piece like a stole trails from the bark of the neck to the of the akin, although part of It is lost from sight underneath the skirt. Low and round tt the neckline. It Is edged with Jet embroidery and strings of the Jet fall from each shoul-

der.

ROSES TO ORNAMENT FROCKS Posies Being Used to Deoorate Many Kinds of Gowns—Revival of Old

As the popularity of beads Is growing constantly among Well-dressed won,so, dealers are shewing strings of oriental beads which combine grace, fully with the beautifully-colored bags and smart little turbans.

tie roses appear dally among smart society and la the salons of those ex-s-IUMive dressmakers who claim that they never become slaves to any one mode of dressing. There are two designers In New Tork who aw* pink roses to ornament various kinds of frocks and coats. They both draw Inspiration from the eighteenth century, but they are not In accord with the house of Callot, which chooses roses that are fullblown, soft sad becoming. The roses which we sec on these new frocks that come from certain exclusive houses have the appearance of being covered with shellac. Some are tawdry and smack of the Christmas tree; others appear to be cat from porcelain. They represent a certain era In dressing, and they are faithful

to type.

There are evening-gowns which have rows of these glittering, stiff little roses to outline the deeolletage and the armboles as well. There are other gowr.s that have a garland of these co'-es arranged like a looped chain of pearls across the front ol the corsage, und another row at the top of each deep ruffle of lace that hangs pendant from the elbow sleeves. Strange to say, In connection with this rococo style of ornament, there has arisen a revival of the old Ellzabethaa fashion of ornamenting velvet gowns. This shows Itself In the use of pearls to catch np the hem of skirts and sleeves, and these pearls are often a part of a fine latticework done In gold (.bread. LATEST IN VICTORY DESIGN Combines Fleur-de-Lis of France, the English Rose and the American . Golden Rod. There has come out a fabric, and also u oev embroider, which combines the fleur-de-lis of France, the English rose, and the American golden rod. U Is called the victory design, and those who exploit it ore trying to make It among the accepted ornamentations for the season. U may be that women wUI not care for the grouping of these three national flowers, but there seems to be every reason to believe that the French fl-mr-de-llx, which ha* gone through the history of that coantry and has been the symbol of so many of 1U victories, wrili be the leading design in the fabrics which will be worn daring the great celebrations

abroad.

There Is no talk of America's launching new gowns for whatever celebrations may come. The eyes of onr buyer*, manufacturer- and dyers arc tamed toward Paris, and each la making a great effort to get over there, despite the scarcity of passports given out la this country.

GREEN FEEDS FOR POULTRY j Conversation F«st Shows Great Ad-

vantages of a Little Hardship That Increases Man's Appreciation

of His Privileges.

There la Much in Proper Curing and

Handling—Beeta and Mangel-

Wurzela Also Goad.

If you hare fed rlorer or alfalfa to poultry In Its green stole or dry you know Its vatne. If you have not used it as a hen feed do so this winter, even If you have to buy some, and la future seasons you will lay In a good supply. There Is much in curing nod handling this food to have It right for hens. If It ha* been done properly, cm- Into onc-quartcr-lnch lengths, and place It In a tub or barrel. then-turn on steam or hot water, which at once brings hack the aroma of the harvest field. Next spread oat In the mixing box and sift on some corn meal, middling* and animal meal, ■alt a little and you hare u* good a me** for laying hen* as can be prepared. Ir. some respects alfalfa Is better than clover. It Is very rich 1c protein, yield*- more in a year than clover, and hen* like It better. For poultry It should never be allowed to become woody. A good field of alfalfa will produce more hen feed than the same amount of space put Into any other crop. Next in order for a dependable winter food come beets and mangel-wur-zel*. There are dlffc-eot sort*, red, yellow and white. All nuke a good winter hen feed. They are composed largely of water, but It makes an excellent winter food, being easily grown and kept and is very handy to feed. Bj' feeding plenty of green food to the hens In winter there I* a profit derived In two way*. The hens will he more healthy, therefore lay better, and by working it Into the dally ration the cost of feeding the flock Is lessened

considerably.

HINTS ON HANDLING POULTRY Among Other Thine* for Farmer to Remember Is That Male Doesn’t Influence Number of Eggs. (P.epired by the L'nitnl States Department of Agriculture.) It Is urged that all farmers and ponltrymen adhere strictly to the following principal roles in handling their poultry and egg>: 1. Keep the nest* clean; provide oae neat for every four hen*. 2. (lather the eggs twice daily. S. Keep the egg* In a cool, dry room or cellar. 4. Market the egg* at least twice ■

week.

!i. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season Is over.

"Don't hurry away. Bud; sit down and talk; that'* the popular recreation nowadays," said Leonard V. Wbenao, the village philosopher, to ihe li,erested listener. Glenn M.

"Three-a-day. a place to sleep and a little amusement Is all I want of it,** said the Interested Idstene-. “What are they arguing aboutMy tdin would be for the whole gang to stop talking and go to work." “Did you read abort that shipwrecked sailor they'took off a Pacific Island the other day?" said Whenoe. “Ho was washed ashnrv, with a barrel of port wine, a phonograph and a box of soda cracker*, and. by gum. he fought the rescuing party. They had to handcuff him aud carry him aboard ship. He was In favor of the nlmple life, but they brought him back home and dumped him Into a longshoremen's strike. Man wants but little here below, but he makes an awful fuss about g.-tting It.” # “I know," said the Listener. “Oar landlady gave us ten thousand enraged words at the breakfast table becauao the phone was out of order, the butch er's boy was late with the mrat and the electric light* were short cir-

If for nothing more than to increase a man'* appreciation of his privileges. Everything 1* relative; sunshine and fresh air. wlthont any trimming* nt all, are heaven enough to the guy who gets up from a sick bed. and even a ham-saudwlch is n blessed privilege to a hungry mnu.

Many poultry growers, especially beginner*, have the impression that oyster shell* make a good grit for fow l*, but such Is not the case. Oyster shells, in some respects do help to grind the fowl's food, but tbe che f mission 1* to make bone, muscli- .ind feather*. They form the shell of the egg. or assist in this matter and m the same time aid in making a complete ration when fowl* an- fed chairon! and grit together with their grain ration*. If you keep them before !h« hen* nod do not feed fat-producing feeds, they will prevent soft-MheUed eggs nod keep them from ucquiring the egg-eating habit, which U one of the greatest louse* ever experienced by any ism! try man.
