I was present one day in one of our large city training schools for teachers when a lecture was being delivered upon the value of agricul

ture aa a national asset. The peak-

er suddenly anked all those members of ihn class of COO students who had ever been on a farm to hold up their right hand. Not more than 50 were raised. He then asked all those who had never teen a farm to do the same and about 200 hands were raised. Is it any wonder that there has

had to be such a persistent drive to awaken the right interest in our agricultural problem of producing enough food for the civilized world? And yet, every unspoiled child loves to dig in the ground, to plant se?d; and when there is a wise sharing in his interest, he gladly waters and tends his little garden plot with real pleasure. The recent success in our school gardens proves this. In 131 S the war gardeners of the country planted more than five million plots. Thoso of us who have had much to do with young children know howeager and Interested they are In watching the mysterious unfoldment of tho leaf buds in tho early spring, an 1 in talking alout and waiting for the appearance of the seeds which they have planted in pots or window boxes. I have Eton children as enthusiastic over the first bursting from the ground of the cotyledon of a bean which they have planted as if it were tho first miracle of creation. If they are given an opportunity to continue their observations of peas, beans or other seeds on to tho mature seed-bearing plants, so much tho better. Appreciation of the my&tery of nature and the control of her resources are as old as recorded time and probably many thousand years old. On tho walls of the Egyptian temples are to bo found harvest songs and in the tombs of Egypt are painted agricultural scenes, and yet wo starve our children's desires in this direction and furnish them with flimsy toys which break to pieces in a few days, when the personal possession of a plot of ground, or even of a flower plot with seeds would give them more pleasurable and lasting Interest. Why aro we so stupid? It would take less time and less nervous force to share a child's interest in nature than it does to scold him for the destruction of toya or the abuse of furniture both of which are the result of the unnatural curbing of his instlnotive desire to express his ideas by changing, transforming and creating new forms. I happen to have two little girl friends aged seven and nine who are

children of a wealthy family and are in consequence' overloaded with toys and other gift3. I was in their jlayroom one morning a few weeks after Christmas and noticed a flower pot In which still stood the remains of a Christmas poinettia. Tho flow'-- had disappeared and the stalk had withered, but the pot still stood in the s-unshiny window. On my return home I selected six nasturt'.um seeds and six morning glory seedo and carefully folded three of a kind in two bits of tissue paper. These I enclosed in a note suggesting that they each plant them in one of their flower pots and see that the flower pot was placed in a sunny window and that tho earth was kept moistened, and I added. "If you do this, by and by you will see something wonderful happen. I am not going to tell you what it is. but it is a very, very wonderful thing." Several weeks later I had occasion to visit their home again. The two children ran to meet me with open arms, exclaiming: "We know now; We know now! They've grown up." The mother told me that of all the gifts they had ever received, she had never known any that had given them so much pleasure, for although there had always been a garden on their grounds, it had never ocrured ti her that they would be in the least interested in the processes of garelening. "The children had carefully followed my directions as to the depth at which the seeds should be planted and the conditions under which they should be kept; and when the plants appeared above the ground she said they were as delighted as if it were man's first discovery of the laws of nature's propagation. She added: "I realized then how deficient my training had been." When their grandmother, who lives in another suburb, invitedthem to spend the week end with her, they only consented to go on the condition that one of the maids in their own home would take care of theso plants while they were away. This may seem like an extreme of the isolation of children from nature, but I can assure you there are many children in our cities who know nothing whatever of the marvelous miracle of the phenomena of the springtime. There are many more who are taken every summer to some resort who pay no more attention to nature and her miracles than the greedy gathering of all tho wild flowers they can hold, which

they often throw away befor.- they

reach their hotel because of tho withering of tho imprisoned little blossoms.

A Fashion Forecast

Even in August, blue serge begins to appear, both 'in the windows of the fashionable shops and in the plans of the forehanded woman, for even early September may bring opportunities to wear it. Of course, nowadays, when we say "blue? serge," we mean a number of things that are not serge at all. but tricolette. tricolaine, wool jersey, tricotine. gabardine all the familiar fabrics and the newer knitted silk cloths as well, are covered by the general term "blue serge" for most of us, despite the fact that they are not serge at ali, but merely serve the same purpose. This autumn, the frock of blurserge or of similar materials will be more distinctive than ever. It is built on long, straight line, somewhat resembling those of th chemise dress, but with a more distinct waist line. Iast winter the slashed tunic was frequently seen; in fact, it was one of the most satisfactory ways of achieving a narrow skirt ami being able to walk in it. This fall the slashed tunic is still in favor; one very smart model 1 slashed to tlv waist in back, front, ami on the

braid. The tunic comes to the hem of the navy blue satin underskirt, and the close fitting bodice of this blue serge coat dress is made with a deep-cut neck, showing the edgo of a white vestee, and with long, close sleeves. The wide belt and V-shaped neckline are edged with

braid, which promises to be ono of

the season's most fashionable trimmings. Accordion Plait Good. The very short skirt and sleeves, worn by the Parisienne, are somewhat modified in the United States, and tho narrow skirt shows a tendency to remain, though its domain is steadily encroached upon by the accordion plaited skirt, which can be so well developed in serge or any light wool material. One of the prettiest of the early autumn

l dresses, of serge, had a little Eton ! Jacket, which opened wide over a

dark blue silk Mouse. The wide, crushed girdle was also of the blue silk and the skirt was accordion plaited in very narrow plaits, so that it was not very full, yet gave

i the appearance of being so-

t As a rule, however, the skirts of 'the new street dresses, as well as

.les. and edged with w ide .black J those of the new autumn suits, aro

narrow and very straight- The coats of theso new suits are also severely tailored, and are of about finger-tip length. Broun Iredominate. Brown is hurrying to the fore in tho field of tho new fall shades, and so delightful are the combinations of burnt orange, copper, and the darker shades, that one hopes it will be the reigning shade well into the winter. Especially lovely are the new fall hats that are shown in the yellow and brown shades. One. with a wide, plaited brim, was of copper brown silk with flowers in hurnt orange and copper shades, as trimming. Another chose brown velours as its material; and. after being deftly turned and twisted so that it was very short in the back, had a wide brim In front, and two upstanding quills as trimming, found itself voted the smartest hat In one excellent collection. The most interesting of the new street hats have little trimming, relying much on both shape and the clever

placing of a single quill, feather, or flower of distinction. The small turban stands high in popular favor, and has a tendency to let its trimming quite overcome it; in fact, the baby ostrich feathers which encircle one of these delightful little hats trail down dangerously near the eyes of the wearer. Flowers may fashion these turbans, also, and nothing prettier than one of dark brown and deep yellow velvet roses can be Imagined. The Indian turban holds a place quite apart from that of its domestic associates. No rajah ever rejoiced in a more impressive headpiece than one of these turbans, the Inspiration for which came from the land of the Taj-Mahal, for this little hat is made of metal cloth, with gold, its only trimming being an ornament of green enamel. Metallic Pnbrics Worn. The various metallic fabrics fashion many of the new evening gowns, effectively, too, for they lend themselves to draping most obligingly. The skirt, which, plain In the back, has the two ends of its material crossed at the belt in front, over a satin underskirt, is seen in many of the new evening gowns, and the very short, square train. forming the back of a skirt which is merely ankle length in front, is also popular. The bodices of many of the new gowns are of several fabrics, but as a rule conform to straight lines, relying rather on fabric and line than on trimming for their effectMost interesting is a new sleeve which has made its bov, in combination with the new afternoon dresses. It was the smartest thing about a blue and wh.te foulard dress, the sleeve", of blue georgette erepe, having an extra piece which reached fr.im the cuff to the elbow, and was si irred to the sleeve itself and then hJng, like a very full veil.

In a width graduated frcm 12 to IS inches. Handmade blouses continue to hold their own, despite the fact that the blouse of georgette or chiffon, matching one's suit, is usually a better choice. One of the most attractive of the new handmade blouses has a deep square yoke, coming nearly to the waist, formed of three double rows or hemstitching. The square between these rows was filled with narrow Valenciennes ruffles. Another little blouee of fine voile had a pretty sleeve, achieved by letting the three narrow lace ruffles which edged the cuff run up the outside of the sleeve to the elbow. Buckles lr Street Pumpa. Street pumps, with smart buckles, still hold their own in the shoe world, though very high shoes are beginning to increase In numbers in the shop windows, despite one's aversion to wearing them on the street until cold weather really arrives. The street pump this year is an improvement over those which. last season, always seemed to be cut a trifle too high for real comfort; possibly it is the vogue of the buckle which has brought about a more comfortable instep height. Be that as it may, tho buckle is now worn on every sort of pump; in copper, with square corrvere, it makes the dark brown pump really beautiful; in cut steel it adds much to the beauty of black leather. Fortunately, one can easily change a pair of buckles from one pair of pumps to another, so that these somewhat expensive adornments outlast several pairs of shoes.

FOR AFTERNOON TEA

The most delightfully toothsome little hot scones can be made for serving at afternoon tea by using one cup of sifted flour, a pinch of salt, salt and a good teaspoonful of baking powder. Sift these together and work in one tablespoonful of butter or other shortening. Add about half a cup of milk, or enough to make a rather soft, pasty dough. The scones should be very small, for daintiness is one of their charms. Take up the dough or batter with a teaspoon and drop or toss it Into the biscuit, placing the scone near together but not near enough to touch as they ri?e in the oven. Serve piping hot with plenty of butter.
