MADE UP IN TAFFETA

CHARMING FROCK DESIGNED ON , PRINCESS MODEL. I Suggests Some of the Changes Which Are Creeping Into the Fashions— Hercules Braid Fits Well as a Dressing. The princess model with robe front, or suggested petticoat, is shown in the illustration, the model being adapted to both the finest and plainest textures. Besides the suggestion of an open shirt over a separate petticoat this design gives other features prominent in fashion’s realm. The low armhole is much admired, this device permitting the least possible shaping of the bodice material and allowing the bottom of the sleeve to fit the arm closely. Here taffeta, that newest of all new materials, is used, the color a soft golden brown. The lace front and other ornaments of the dress are of a deep cream ratine lace introducing a touch of brown, and the guimpe is of a spotted net finished at the neck with a brown ribbon with tricot edge. This dainty frock sugests in detail some of the changes which are trying to creep into dress, the fussier trimmings, the separation of the skirt from the tunic; yet it is still conservative, and by leaving off the trimmings it may be made the simplest thing imaginable. There is a very new change possible for the collar, the last notion for this being a Very deep back with a rounded bottom. All versions of the style give the proper neck and sleeve cut for each one—the fine gown is gen-

erally collarless, with three-quarter Sleeves, while the practical one is high necked and long sleeved. Another charming device for taffeta would be to have the main part of the frock in a flowered or striped design and the deckings of plain. A veiling with taffeta trimmings is also adapted to dressy effects, for most of the things which are not of taffeta will be taffeta trimmed. Among the deckings used on taffeta itself—and they are many—is Hercules braid, a number of the coat suits being trimmed in this manner. f If a simple frock on these lines is needed, thin blue serge with a touch of black taffeta would be very modest and yet smart as well. Thin dressy materials of a cheap nar ture are countless, and the very smartest of these are made up in one-piece manner, the gayer colors running to puffings and shicrings, the staid ones looking well with deep skirt tucks and a shirt waist suggestion of the bodice.

String Belt.

A belt made of colored string is a novel accessory to milady’s toilet. It is made by crocheting the string, using a plain stitch, into the shape of a belt, having the two fronts narrower than the back. For light-colored wash dresses natural-colored string Is used, but If it be a dark gown or you wish to match the color of your tie In the belt, make it of a fine wrapping cord that can be bought in almost any desired shade. ’ Fasten It in front with a plain metal or pearl buckle.

White Bathroom.

A small bathroom is much better in white paint. There are excellent enamel paints to be had which can be used on plaster and woodwork alike, leaving a finish that water will not harm, says a Ladies’ Home Journal writer. I should advise very light cream and then with a blue-and-white cotton rug and bath mat you will have a very fresh and pretty bathroom. i

Dressing the Bed.

The bed is receiving a good deal of lressing these days. One of the most splendidly appareled ones has a cover with brocaded velvet center, a wide band of point de venise, and for the border a band of seal. A huge bow £f old rose taffeta With fringed ends i laid across the bed near the foot.

ALL EYES ON MICHIGAN.

| ATTRACTIONS OF THE FRUIT BELT. | ATTENTION has been widely attracted to Michigan’s Fruit Belt by the superior, flavor of its fruits, by its wide range of staple crons by its advantage in marketing being located at the hub of the Na‘ tion s population and commerce afcd by greater profits to grower* because of no irrigation expense. jThe rainfall is plentiful The TT S. Dept, of Agriculture defines the Fruit Belt as the narrow striD of country in the Southern jxminsula bordering Lake Michigan and ex tending 10 to 30 miles eastward, and as having a climate that enables cultivation with a success impossible in other regions of th» same latitude not similarly protected by the influence of the Lake Michigan which modifies the prevailing winds from the west.

THE CONDITIONS that here produce .better apples, peaches, pears, plums and cherries are also especially favorahle for potatoes and all vegetables, peas, beans, cereals, grasses, clover and alfalfa. The food problem is here solved by the diversity of crops. The corn crop, as shown by statistics., compares favorably with yields of states in the corn belt and makes stock raising profitable; but beyond the need for stock there are a number of other crops more profitable. Poultry thrives in the freedom from vermin; no place is better for sheep, and dairying is becoming more profitable every year. GREAT AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT is going on in Michigan s Fruit Belt. The awakening is as much in diversified farming as in fruit growing. Retarded until late years by lumber interests, the over-population of the part of the U. S. surrounding this district is now forcing tillage of its every acre. NO OTHER SPOT, in Michigan is being developed as rapidly as the district in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties, known as the Swigart Tract. Farmers, fruit growers. poultrymen, truck growers and stock men are buying and settling in this tract in sucth large numbers that twice each month a special Pullman car. and frequently two cars are required for their aceomdation. THIS TRACT is especially favored in its location in thb middle of this Fruit Bek; in its transportation by four railroads and a number of steamship limes, and in its
