Is still a prominent one in French fashions. It Is unfortunate tliat this style has not been taken up to a greater extent In America. The I'arisienne has used it for some time wid its popularity with her shows no indication of being on the wane. It is a charming and a practical fashion, enabling a woman to be suitably and beautifully dressed for any hour of the day. whleh is especially couvenlent In this conntry where one's time Is filled with engagements which frequently keep one away fronr home from early inorateg until evening. Use of the Taffeta Sash. With a costume of this sort the coat is of a light-weight beige-colored cloth Itned with,a beautiful shade of very dark brewn taffeta. The brown taffeta fiu.f« the collar. The coat below the low waistline turns back In the form of a revers to show the lining. There is a looue s4sh of brown grosgrain ribbon. <, The frock accompanying this coat Is of brown tuffeta that exactly matches the coat lining. It is made in straight effect, almost like a child's pinafore, with a plaited section attached to a deep square yoke. The plaits are not stitched, but merely pressed., The sleeves, which are short and in kimono effect, are cut in one with the yoke and are finished with plaits around the bottom to match the main portion of the dress. Although the frock is charming in Its simplicity its best feature lies in a huge sash having two narrow panels attached to " The sash wraps about the hips a?"? ties in a big. puffy bow on one sit"< The panels fall slightly longer than the frock on either side. The removal of the sash leaves a straight-line plaited dress, which is unbelted. The whole Idea is as clever as it can be and yet very simple. Since a tailored stilt always plays such an Important part we are, of course, eager to know each season what the new suits are to be like. One of the most Important tilings about suits is that the box coat is to be prominent. Many of these will be In very youthful effects with unbuttoned fronts, or with the fronts closing with one button. There are several straws blowing about in the wind of fashion which Indicate that some rather unusual < things may be done with coat closings. A very short box coat turned out by one of bur best American designers closes In surplice style, fastening with one button on the left side Just over the hips. A practical blue serge suit, very much In the mode ahd at the same time rather conservative, has an interesting braid trimming in the form of a high* Iv glased black braid. Ribbon Vogue Continues. The vogue for ribbons is in nowise lessened. This would Indicate that women are less changeable in their taste in dress than they are reputed to be. The continuation of ribbon trimming is not the only indication of this constancy. There are many others. A very striking example Is the long life of the chemise dress. In fact. all that Is best in present-day fashions shows very clearly that women like the suitable and beautiful in their clothes and that designs having these qualities are the only ones to which they udhere for any length of time. Many of the sudden changes In fash- Ions have been due to the fact that the new things brought out, while striking, were quite unlovely. To be In keeping with the styles In dresses, which are stripped of all coinplications of design and fussy trimming, hats, too. must he plain. This Is not a new Idea In millinery, for it is a long time since we have seen anything of the pompous-looking hat at one time known as a dress hat. In fact, modistes might almost claim that couturiers have followed their lead la the matter of simplicity.

Taking the Farm Car Out of the Nnnpn (Prepared by the United States Depart- , ment of Agriculture.) Credit is always a good thing to have, and under certain conditions a very good thing to use, but Just now It seems in most cases to be much more desirable to have it than actually to use it. The United States Department of Agriculture warns farmers that the present Is a particularly unfavorable time to borrow for any purpose that does not promise naturally to increase the productiveness of the farm enterprise. This applies particularly to long-time loans. Interest rates are at present considerably above normal, and the payment of tl^ese rates Is in itself a heavy burden to assume. When to Borrow. It la furthermore pointed out that while at the beginning or early In the progress of a periwt of rising prices It is generally highly profitable to borrow for productive purposes, the case is quite different In time of falling prices. When prices go up the value of money goes down, and a debt contracted on a low market can be settled on a high market with money representing correspondingly less labor and smaller quantities of products per dollar. Thus, with rising prices all loans that would be safe on a steady market stand to yield handsome profits. In a perlqd of peak prices, however, or of falling prices, such as farmers are facing now. the shoe Is on the other foot. At such a time it Is advisable to use great caution in borrowing since there is a probability of having to pay back the loan in dearer dollars than those obtained from the loan. For those who find that they must borrow at this time In onler to avert disaster, or are so situated that by a reasonable amount of additional capital they can naturally Increase their earnings, the office of farm management and farm economics offers certain simple rules to be kept In mind. The first and most important rule Is that only as much money lie borrowed as can be mjt to a decidedly productive use. With the rate of interest high and prices falling, only an Important use of borrowed capital Is likely to make a loan prove profitable or even a safe venture for the borrower. The borrowing of money for the purchase of power machinery, for example. can be Justified under present conditions only where farming is done on a considerable scale, and where such machinery can be used n_ considerable number of day* during the year to save time and labor"needed elsewhere on the farm, ~ The second rule to be considered by the farmer concerns the time when the loan shall be repaid. If he borrows money to purchase fertilizer and agrees to repay It before a crop is harvested and sold, he may .have difficulty in discharging the debt. If he arranges, however, to pay after the borrowed fertilizer has brought returns, he will be relieved of the possible embarrassment of asking for a renewal cf the note and the resultant Injury to his credit, The third consideration Is closely related to the second, and has to do with the duration of the loan. Generally speaking, the length of time the debt is allowed to run should be closely related to the productive life of the farm implement or improvement for which the money is employed. If the money is to build a silo that will last ten years, the loan should not run more than ten years, because, If a silo cannot pay for itself lij. Its own lifetime It is plain that it would be folly to borrow to build It. On the other hand, such a loan should run long enough to give the farmer a good chance to meet It when due. Provision should he made In a longtime loan for the gradual reduction of the principal. This can be done by wording the note so that a part of the principal can be paid on any Interest date, or by providing for a definite annual or semi-annual payment covering the interest due and allowing a gradually Increasing ainount to be paid against the principal. Each of these methods prepares for the payment of the Interest as it comes due and automatically disposes of the principal In a stated time. Total Annual Payments. On a $1,000 .loan to run for 15 years at 5 per cent interest, Jhe furjner could arrange a total annual payment of $100. Of his first $100 payment. $.r»0 would settle the Interest and leave $50 to he paid against the principal. The next year interest could be charged for only $!»;>0, the amoupt of the reduced principal, and his annual payment would he divided Into $47.50 to care for the interest, and $52.50 to he applied on the principal. By this method the debt and its Interest are gradually reduced until In the fourteenth year $5.72 would be paid as interest on a principal amounting to only $114-15. The nexi ' year the borrower would make a total payment of $21.07, $1 for interest j charges and $20.07 to pay off the last ' of the debt itself. Pretty Materials.

USING COWPEAS FOR SILAGE j- Industry Not Confined to Circumscribed Areas in New England and New York--Experience Necr esaary to Boil Sirup. i . Many thousands of American finrmers throughout u score of states are overlooking opportunities to secure delicious maple i»ugar and sirup for home use, as well as for sale, at very little cost. This stutemeut, of interest be- j cause of the approach of "sugur j weather," is based on data compiled by experts of the United States Department of Agriculture who have made a special study of the maplesugar industry. While Americans commonly think of this industry as being confined largely to circumscribed areas in New England and New York, there are, as a matter of fact, many potential "sugar bushes" throughout eastern and northeastern United Stale*; in other words, throughout a region extending south to include North Carolina and Tennessee and west to include northern Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. There are also a cirthsiderable number of maple trees of sugar- J yielding species in Washington and j Oi egon. I While some experience is necessary i to boil the sap down to sirup and sugar properly, the process is not complicated and may be learned readily. A United States Department of Agriculture bulletin, "Production of Maple Sirup and Sugar," gives the necessary information, and will be sent free^to any person ad<Jtessing the department at Washington. A clump of 10 to 15 trees usually will yield enough sirup for family use to make tapping worth while, and in Best Plan in Cutting for Sil^gf to Wait Until Pods First Begin * - to Turn Yellow. ' For silage, cowpeas should be cut when the pods first hegln to turn yellow. In ninny-sections alternate rows of cowfteas and corn are put in the silo, hut the most Common method, perhaps. Is one load of cowpeas to two or three loads of corn. This mixture Is easily handled, packs quite satisfactorily. keeps well, and makes a superior quality of palatable silage. Although the vines may be put In the silo without cutting, they will pack much closer If run through a silage cutter. Much care should be taken to see that the silage Is well distributed and well parked.
