Two of the Newest Blouses
Women, having taken n violent
fancy to smocks for summer wear.
Iiave replaced a few blouses with those
newer garments. The smock lots not
arrived Ht the place where It rivals
the blouse In popularity, but Its ad
vance toward that stago has caused
fclousemakers to consider It and to
Jidnpt their designs to Its lines. A
(treat many of the new blouses have a
jpeptum and a very loose girdle at the
pralst so that they are very close kin
to the smocks th'at hnve no waistline
other than that made by r. loose cord
narrow girdle placed In tho most
astial manner possible.
Among the blouses that extend be-
loyv the waistline and some Inches
lover tho skirt there are many tbit
have this extension only at the hack
Liiu front, like those shown In the
jdeture above. They carry a strong
Suggestion of the smock, and stout
(women like them because they make
^he figu-e look more slender than
those blouses that have a peplum or
the sinock.
» The blouse at the left ‘s made of
bark blue georgette with a very nnr-
low binding of satin to, match, about
the neck. Other edges are finished
kidth a plcot and seams are hem-
stitched. Slashes tn the front and
jack are finished with plcot edges
ind a narrow girdle of the georgette
s slipped through them. This Is a
lovel and very pretty management of
lie waistline. Another distinguishing
new touch appears In the wide hand
about the flaring sleeve. An em-
broidery pattern In chain stitching In
tlie same color as tho blouse makes
an Interesting ending to this chapter
In the story of now styles In blouses.
At the right cf the picture >vh'»e
crepe de chine proves once more Its
adaptability to practical blouses. Tim
panels at the hack and front of tills
blouse are finished witli hems and hem-
stitching. and a crushed girdle of
crepe do chine lies easily about tbs
waist. The flaring sleeves are cut
into un odd shape and faced back with
a hand of the orepe de chine. Two
little silk crochet bolls call attention
to the originality of the sleeve and
help to make it hang well.
Clusters of grapes with, leaves and
tendrils outlined are embroidered bn
the front of (lie blouse In three groups.
As In the dark blouse, this embroidery
Is machine made, but in this Instance
it Is just as effective 11s handwork.
As harbingers of the new styles for
fall these blouses do not foretell any
very radical changes. A few new
models have round necks higher than
those in the picture, and a greater
proportion of blouses In dark colors
Indicate that skirts will probably
match the waist worn with them.
But It Is n little too early to do more
than draw conclusions which may not
prove conclusive.
VARIETIES OF SMALL FRUITS
Ravage* of Green Worm* Given *»
Reason for Neglect of Currant*
and Gooseberries.
Frequent Inquiries along this lln«
indicate a continued Interest In grow-
ing currants und gooseberries.
The chief reason they are not more
plentifully grown seems to be the rav-
ages of the green worm. This greedy
enemy Is ouslly controlled, but It re-
quires prompt attention, and as the
uttack Is made In u very busy season
It fk apt to be neglected until fighting
Is useless. All varieties of the cur-
rant are most readily propagated front
cuttings of the new wood.
The strong and thrifty ones should
bo selected, and, using a very sharp
knife, cut them Into slx-lnch pieces.
The ground where these are plnnted
should lie plowed deeply and well pul-
verized, which encouruges a good root
groafth. We must never (tn horticul-
tural operations) overlook the fact
that a loose and porous soil Is neces-
sary to n healthy root development.
The cuts should, of course, be set
big end down, und It matters little if
they are set perpendicular or at an
, nngle of 30 degrees. But this is Im-
portant, only an Inch, or one bud,
: must bo left above the surface after
the soil has been firmed and settled.
The hest time to do tills work is the
last half of September. Then the
lower end of the cut will callous and
roots will start before freezing weath-
er. It Is then necessary to mulch with
an Inch of straw or hay or stable lit-
i ter. Tills will prevent tilt* heaving out
by frost which is liable to ruin hulf
of the crop unless protected. But It
Is also possible to grow good bushes
by taking off the cuttings In April and

planting as described above. But this
Is not as sure as the fall planting, be-
cause the callousing and rooting in the
fall Is just so much time gained, and
if a dry period should chance to come
before roots have started only a small
percentage of the cuts will grow.
If you plant on rich soil and give
good culture you will ut the end of the
first season have sturdy bushes one
foot or more In height and sometimes
two or three shoots.
Gooseberry bushes are also frequent-
ly grown from cuts as described for
currants. But this Is not the best
method. By far the best method to In-
crease the gooseberry Is the hilling
system. This Is an early summer job,
say mid June to mid July, according
to latitude. Tnke a single bunch of
bushes or a row of them, as the case
may be, and bank them up with loose
[ earth.
Make the bank broad enough so that
I each shoot may retain its natural po-
sition and make It high enough so that
only three or four Inches of the tops
will stick out above the bnnk. Put In
earth enough so that after It settles
the situation will not be materially
changed. If this is well done and the
season Is reasonably wet every branch
will send out roots and you will have
as muny bushes as you have shoots In
the bunch. f
I These may be taken away In the
fall or early spring and planted where
they are to remain.
To make assurance doubly sure
make the bank very broad so that It
cannot dry out. That Is all you need.
Plenty of moisture and good, thrifty
bushes and you can grow gooseberry
plants by the thousand.

The popular liking for cottage
! cheese, which is rapidly gaining favor
: in many parts of the country, presents
1 new problems In marketing, say nmr-
! ket specialists of the United Stutes
J department of agriculture. Marketing,
i methods which make It possible for
consumers to obtain this valuable food
product in a desirable condition, have
not been well developed In many mar-
kets. A good quality of cottage
cheese, however, when sold in suit-
able packages at a reasonable price,
will be used by numerous consumers
during all seasons of the year. Many
creameries, as well ns dairymen and
farmers, are producing cottage cheese
as a side line, and find they can dis-
pose of It readily.
Cottage cheese is unlike butter in
general characteristics, but may be
merchandised in much the »tuu£ jnan-
ner. It should be placed In a con-
tainer that will not only protect It
from contamination, but will also aid
In preserving Its qualities for a rea-
sonable period. The most commonly
used types of packages for retailing
cottage cheese are the parchment pa-
per wrapper, tinfoil wrapper, paper
oyster pail, butter cartons, fiber board
packages, and glass or earthenware
jars. The more desirable types of
cartons are those which offer the best
protection against the entrance of air,
since they protect the cheese from con-
tamination and keep it In satisfactory
condition until used.
Wrapping Cottage Cheese.
When a good grade of parchment
paper Is used and care Is used In
wrapping It neatly around the cheese.
It Is an economical and serviceable
package. Where quantities of a half
pound or less are purchased, the small
oil parchment paper bag, similar to
that used for salted peanuts, has
proved satisfactory. Tinfoil wrappers
make a neat-appearing package that is
practically airtight, and protects the
keeping quality of the cheese,
wrapper may be placed above a mo ‘1
and a meusured or weighed amount
placed in it. first wrapping the cheese
in parchment paper or lining the wrap-
per with it. Wood fiber container .
coated with paraffin are among the
most sanitary and desirable types o
packages for cottage cheese. They
may be obtained in several sizes.
Tlie regular style butter cartons are
used as containers for cottage cheese
and serve well when the cheese does
not contain surplus moisture or Is
rather dry. Paraffin paper cups are ’
especially desirable since they have
close-fitting airtight covers which
make them practically Impervious to
moisture and keep the cheese in a
perfectly clean and sanitary condition.
No additional wrapper or paper is re- j
qulred, although some retailers place
such pnekuges In paper bags as a mat- J
ter »f rnfivpn|qp?g-ta-'rtta cusfdfller.
7 Demonstrates Good Advertising.
Because of the luck of a general
knowledge In some sections of the use
of cottage cheese as a substitute for
meat nnd as a substantial part of the
menu, demonstrations and displays of
attractive and appetizing dishes pre-
pared from cottage cheese are desir-
able methods of extending Its use. At
grocery stores, food shows, and meet-
ings of women’s organizations, dem-
onstrations of the many practical and
attractive ways of preparing it may be
given, samples may be served, and
recipes in which cottage cheese Is
used may be distributed. Lectures al-
so may be given on the food value of
this cheese and its use In the diet.
Such demonstrations and lectures may
serve not only to extend a knowledge
and appreciation of the value and
uses of cottage cheese, but also of
the many other ways of using milk.
Recipes and material for lectures at
demonstrations may be obtained free

partment of Agriculture, Washington,

White ants occasionally Injure
large trees and shrubs. In Florida
they have done notable damage to
newly planted groves of orange trees,
having eaten the bark about the col-
lar and roots and complexly girdled
the trees. Similar damage has been
recorded to other fruit and nut trees,
especially In the southern states. In
the South also ants occasionally In-
