FAMOUS FASHION WRITER
Julie Bottomley Is recognised
nod women’s fashion writers
_ as one of
tho best inform)
In the United States. She knows exactly
tha needs and desires of women in the
small towns and country, for not many
year* ago she conducted a dressmaking
and millinery shop in a little city in Colo-
rado. And the articles she prepares for
as are written with a view to meeting the
conservative ideas of the ladles of our
community. ■ The tawdry and extravagant
are taboo with her. Leading wholesale
and retail dealers and manufacturers of
women’s apparel recognise In Mrs. Bot-j
tomley an authority and the editor of that
Ladles’ Homs Journal has consulted her
frequently. She Is at present associate)
editor of one monthly fashion periodical,
is a regular contributor to another and la
fashion editor for an Important newspaper1
syndicate. Before the war Mrs. Bottom-;
ley went annually to the Paris fashion
center, and since then has kept In touch
by personal correspondence. We publish
these articles by special arrangement.
After reviewing coats made for the
■mall girl It seems that they range
through as great a variety of mate-
rials. and almost as great a variety
of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All
the soft, woblly goods, several fur-
fabrics and plushes, velvet In various
colors, and all-fur conts promise a
season of rich and comfortable out-
door wear for the little miss.
It Is a fad of the season to have a
hat or bonnet and a tiny muff mnde
of the .same material ns the coat.
From top to toe almost everyth Jng
small liulics wear Is. of one kind of
cloth. For trimming, nnrrow bandings
of the shorthaired nnd lenst costly
furs are used. Smocking nnd shirring
play Important roles in ranking cents
of wpol velours, Bolivia nnd similar
cloths, and they nre at their best on
velvet. But coats of fur-fabrics or
plush, like that shown in the picture,
must be made on the plainest lines.
All-fur coats of white rabbit with
caps and muffs to match make the
most captivating sets imaginable.

They have added coiffuies with loops
of hair to otherTilgh and stately styles,
and are showing others with small
puffs and several short curls pinned
at the crown of the head In the back,
for those who like a lower halrdress.
Among high coiffures there is one
design in which a band of waved hair
ts wound about the head like a wide
band of ribbon, near the forehead. It
allows a few orderly waves and ring-
lets to escape about the face, and the
•back hnir Is nrrnnged in puffs at the
top of the crown. This Is an unusual
und very finished-looking hairilress.
A similar coiffure is shown in the
picture. In tills design all the hair
is waved and the front hair is combed
back over a foundation which raises it
jit the top of the head. At the back
a cluster of curls is pinned' below the
crown and a band of waved hulr is
brought across above the nape of the
neck. It will be seen that ornamental
pins are an essential part of this coif-
fure—they finish nnd support it.
The coiffure nt the left is much sim-
pler. All the hnir is marcelled for It
nnd combed toward the top of the
crown, it Is finished In a small coll
ONE REASON FOR MILK SH0RTA6E IN NEW
TOWNS COULD SET EXAMPLES
Streets In Many Small Cltlaa War*
Than Country ftoado—Farmors
Hava Batter Public Spirit.
It ia hign time that the rural see*
tions of America called io the towns
to mend their ways and their streets,
says a writer in the Country Gentle-
man. This is our conclusion after a
recent tour of hundreds of miles
through u prosperous country. We
found highways lu rural section# well
kept nnd comfortable, hut there was a
far different story in the small cities
and in the numerous towns and vil-
lages through which we passed. The
rauln country roads were smooth boule-
vards compared with the streets in
the average town or city. In some
places where the homes were hand-
some and the factories busy the streets
were full of holes.
It was a striking Illustration of the
greatest roads failure lit America.
Small cities and towns have lagged.
A roads expert, who recently has trav-
eled over most of the country, says
the fault Is general. In the past five
years the rural situation has improved
vastly, but the small city and town
showing is sad. When you near a set-
tlement you begin to bump.
*For this the explanation 1# that the
town or city has too much local in-
difference. A banker said to us:“We
have two factions and each is so busy
fighting the other that nothing Is done
for the town.” It Is a great pity. The
very communities that ought to be
ahead on good thoroughfares are be-
hind. •
Perhaps farmers might jog them Into
right action by taking their patronage
to towns and cities that provide good
streets to travel over.—Chicago News.
THE WAY TO PLAN YOUR HOME
Each Room Should Have Favorable
Exposure—Here’s How to Mako
Things Comfortable.
No more Important question con-
fronts the homebuilder than the ex-
posure of the rooms In his prospec-
tive home, for no matter how charm-
ing a house may be nor how con-
venient its Interior arrangement, it
cannot be entirely successful unless
each room has a favorable exposure.
A living foom having windows on
Its east and west side may capture
both the morning and afternoon sun,
and If, in addition, it opens out on a
porch facing the south, no more satis-
factory arrangement Is possible.
A porch facing the south makes a
pleasant open-air living room in warm
weather and a cheery, glassed-in sub
parlor In winter.
For the dining room, an easterly ex-
posure is desirable, thus giving one a
cheerful amount of sunshine'for what
Is apt to be in many households the
most trying meal of the day.
The model kitchen will have win-
dows facing both north and south. Tills
makes for comfort In summer nnd ad-
mits the late afternoon sun, which con-
siderably lengthens the hours of day-
light.
South and west for the chambers Is
the correct exposure, with windows
facing both ways, If possible.
NEW INSPIRATION* OF HAIRDRE8SER
t snowy skins. Rabbit Is frankly rab-
bit this year, and costs money, at
that. There are fascinating coats of
white broadcloth trimmed with hand-
ings of brown fur, and they are quaint
replicas of models made fur grown
people. ' \
The coat shown In ihe picture Is a
practical mr-del of brown plush very
durable and warm. It Is so simple
that there Is almost no reason for a
description of It. It hns u turnover
collar nnd cuffs of the same material
ns the belt. The belt Blips through
■traps ut the sides, and odd silk but-
tons provide the means of fastening.
Now that the waved and puffed nnd
otherwise elaborated coiffure has come
back, hairdressers appear to be work-
ing under the spur of new Inspiration*
fastened with a shell comb. This Is
one of many styles to which n side
part on the forehead gives a youthful
touch.
Jersey.
Paris likes it.
America likes It.
So it will go merrily on.
It will not pass with the summer.
Silk Jersey is expected to remain all
winter.
It makes a smart and useful all-
round rig.
In a coated belt dress It is altogether
modish.

Trees for the 8treets.
The city forestry department of
Cleveland, O., plans the setting out of
about 5,000 trees, chiefly in the streets,
during the autumn. The use to be
made of them has been definitely de-
cided.
It Is n public Improvement which
Is especially welcome after much ex-
' treinely hot weather, says the Cleve-
i land Leader. Shaded streets plead
their own cuuse when the temperature
is not far below blood heat or even a
little higher, at the worst hours of the
day. And in a long drought, when it is
almost Impossible to keep lawns green
nnd flowers blooming, healthy trees,
fairly treated, resist the adverse
weather conditions better than nny
other verdure nnd do more than tlietr
share to save the streets of cities from
the dreariness of masonry unbroken
by nature’s fresh tints nnd unfalUBg
life.
Cleveland Is not the “Forest City”
In the sense that It used to be, but
there are still hundreds of thousands
of trees Inside the municipal limits
and jnnny of them are fine specimens
of their kind. All thnt can reasonably
be done to improve these conditions
nnd make the streets still more shady
and attractive ought to be the con-
stant aim and care of the city gov-
ernment and of public-spirited clti-
cens, also.
Put Bones Under Ground.
Most people do not suspect the great
fertilising value there is In hones. To
the ordlnury amateur gardener there
Is a wide difference between the bone
he holds In his hand and the soluble
plant food so necessary to plant de-
velopment. But the fertilizer compa-
nies know that bones ure the highest-
class fertilizers (not counting wur
prices of potash) except dried blood.
Ground bones sell nt over $.’(0 u ton
wholesale, when other fertilizers sell
■round $20 to $25 a ton. The scientific
farmers use large quantities of ground
bone, even in the growing of such
crops as wheat, corn and oats. Re-
member this next spring.

Hint for Builders.
The factory Inspection department
of the state of Illinois has Issned ■
gratuitous suggestion to architects
builders and factory owners recom-
mending the Incorporation of an I-
benm Into the construction of all
large buildings, supported by brackets
extending from the upper part of the
building by which scaffolds may be
supported for the use of painters,
snndhinst cleaners and others having
occasion to work on the front of tho
structure. The bean furnishes a track
for trolleys from which the scaffolds
arc hung, nnd Is n safety feature nnd
a great convenience, saving n great
deni of vnlunhlc time usually Rpent in
rigging up devices of one kind or an-
other to support scaffolding. It al-
lows the swinging platform to be
moved rapidly In nny rll-ectlon, does
away with thrustouts, and the move-
ments of the men are not attended
by such great risks as are otherwise
encountered.
