The feature is the implement and Sshed, or leanto at the rear of the barn. This latter furnishes a weather-proof house' for the wagons and farm implements and at the same time they are handy. The interior arrangement of the barn, the placing of the stalls and the other conveniences that will lighten the work of caring for .the herd are shown by the floor plan. It will be noted that there are two rows of stalls. each accommodating ten cows, and that they are phlaced so the animals face in. It may be in:eresting to know the reason for havint the cows face each other, instenad of the outside walls of the m rr:m andl cnoinsequently the light. Some observant person noticed in studying the habits of cows. that in variably they graze in the pasture witht their hacks to the sun. He thus figured it out that by arranging the stalls so that they follow the cows' natural in clination to turn away from strong light the cows will be happier, and a I happy' cow is a milk producer. The a added advantage of so arranging the e stalls is that a carrier track may be r run through the center of the barn.

More than a million of them never had done a day's work in their lives. The volunteers would add another million. 0- In tite Liberty Loan campaigns alone 700,000 women acted as volun Stcgf teers. There was a similar number in ' Y the United War drive. For the Red ` Cross the total must have been mil lions, for in this organization women who worked all day or who kept house all day, and who had an hour "to spare," would devote that hour to surgical dressings, classes, refugee work or ministering to the wants of Tail 443. *, those whose homes had been hit by the in the Influenza epidemic.

In the matter of decorations, fur is widely but not lavishly used, and carefully done silk embroidery is very often used with it. Being of the same character they look well together. At the right of the two suits pictured here there is a fine example of the combination of fur and embroidery in a suit of wool velours. The skirt in this model has two narrow plaits at the side and is very long. The coat is a very handsome affair, uneven in length about the bottom and having wide panels, shorter than the front and hack, set in. They are banded r with two narrow bands of dark fur. Embroidery, in the same color as the cloth, finds an advantageous position i at each side of the coat skirt.

TI'y suit at the left is a quite differ ent affair, much plainer and made of a sturdier material. Bone buttons and narrow braid are the very pratical em bellishments allowed to it and its lines are simple and mannish. But it has the high, cozy looking collar of fur that is found in the company of all sorts of suits and the narrow belt of the material. But this is extended only across the front of the coat, button ing at the sides. Just by way of not going to extremes in being plain and practical, the belt is double, with no particular reason for being so except that it adds an attractive and unex pected Interest to this small item in the suit's make-up. The hat is a tail ored model, but not so plain as a banded sailor.
