18 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 TELLS FARM WOMEN TO DRESS IN STYLE Farm women were advised to dress with style and attractiveness at their chores and household duties by Miss Florence Geeenge, 'teacher of dress designing, in an address before a dairymen's convention at Chicago. "There is no reason for a pretty woman on the farm to look like the devil even when cooking pancakes or hoeing the lettuce," said Miss Greene. "Style is just as alluring in the coun- try as in the city. "Because a farm woman has the chickens to feed is no reason why she should wear a slovenly wrapper. If Maud Muller had raked the hay in a dirty waist, Whittier never would have written a poem about her. "Driving to town with the butter and eggs is no alibi for a mussy coif- fure. Sweeping off the front porch in a bedraggled kimona is a crime and run-over shoes in dusting the par- lor is an argument for capital pun- ishment. "My advise to my sisters of the farm is to look attractive all day long. Have your wash dresses in bright col- ors and correct styles. The way to keep your skirits and your sleeves clean is to have them both short. I am not an apostle of immodesty but there is no law against adding to the charm of a shapely leg. Silk hose are not for work. Stockings of black or sober tints, seamless so they will keep their shape and not rip, will look just as smart and more harmon- jous. Pay attention to your shoes. If they must be sturdy, they can at least be nealy polished. "A touch of ribbon in the hair won't hurt and a bit of lace at the throat is often an effective detail. Always keep yourself so gowned that you won't have to run upstairs when a strange automobile unexpectedly stops at the gate." Plant Psychology Studied at U. of I. Laboratories A certain laboratory at the Uni- versity of Illinois is a Mecca for sci- entists from not only various sections of this country but many countries of the world. It is the laboratory of plant physiology. The work is going on under the direction of Professor Charles F. Hottes. Professor Hottes has constructed new and delicate instruments of pre- cision that enable scientists to study the response of plant life and growth to the natural factors of their envir- onment. These instruments are con- sidered of sufficient interest and im- portance to warrant special visits to this laboratory of specialists from all parts of the United States.

With the machinery Professor Hottes has perfected he is able to se- cure absolute temperature and humid- ity control in the experimental green- houses. Some of his work requires a glass-enclosed chamber which will allow enough light for plant growth, but still keep a constant temperature and humidity.
