EVENING GOWNS
ACCEPT THE REIGN
OF SIMPLICITY
New York, Oct. 6.—The question of
evening dress, the “to be or not to
be’’ of the decollete, seems to have
been decided. The optimistic spirit
of America has prevailed, and while
there is not the same georgeous dis
play as in the past, evening clothes
are worn, and rarely beautiful ones
at that. Tt President of the United
States paid a visit to New York not
long ago. and together with Mrs Wil
son. passed an evening at one of the
most enjoyable plays of the season.
Of course, the house was wildly en
thusiastic; is was some time before
the play could begin, and even then
the audience pain more attention to
the official box-party than to the
play. Mrs. Wilson was very simply
dressed, but she seemed immensely
interested in bustle dresses on ibe
stage and the costumes smttend
everywhere ovei the bouse
A Victory on Empire Lines
Picturesque, indeed are the compro
mises effected by fashion. The dress
es are in the same wonderful tints
and colors that nave always been
favorites, perhaps though a tnfie
subdued. Some are hirrh in the back
square or round in front, with long
J sleeves of tulle or *ery short ones
of the same material as the bodice or
the overskirt. The waist that is cut
, st'a'ght airo.-s f om sh raidei to
1 >- loulder is v<Ty popular this vear,
I fan it gives • !'* effect of a higher
' I'C.'k
Simplicity and Lack of Trimming
There is very little trimming on
| the new models. They seem to rely
to a great exent on their line and
i color, and charming indeed is the
: result. One of the most attractive of
the new modes in evening gowns is
illustrated here. It is of rose-colored
satin, bodice and skirt, with a filmy
overskirt or tunic of soft mist-gray
chiffon, stitched on the lower edge
with rose-colored silk in the long
loose stitch which makes such a
fascinating trimming. The collar and
the short sleeves of the chiffon are
stitched in the same manner.
Good Taste in Slippers
Just a word here about the slippers
for evening, and the difference be
tween those in good taste and those
that are just a trifle too ornate and
overtrimmtd. “Life” has invented a
new word, the verb “to hoove," mean
ing to conserve, and it is now being
widely applied. One must “hoove"
one’s food of course, and equally of
course, one must ‘‘hoove" one's trim

mings on every article of one's dress.
Slippers that are good form are very
plain, indeed. The long vamp is still
with us; heels do not seem to be
quite so high as formerly, for they,
too, have been hooved. Satin, the
same color as the dress, is the first
choice. A rhinestone buckle placed,
high on the slipper is very fashion
able. Then one of the latest ideas in
slipper decoration is a tiny bow of
satin, a single bow of ribbon a
quarter of an inch wide, perhaps
Many of the fall brides have chosen
this for their wedding slippers. It
gives the foot the long, narrow effect
that is so distinctive. Slippers of
brocade, of metal cloth, or of combi
nations of plain and figured materials
are worn only on the most formal
occasions. Indeed, the all black or
all white slipper is always appropri
ate and in good taste. Stockings
must, of course, match the costume
and the slipper.

11 Feeding Cottonseed Meal 1
I To Horses and Mules I
Read the FoUowing from the Progressive Farmer: I
jjli In traveling over the south it is gratifying to hear such an in- ||
|l|| creasing number of farmers report that they are feeding two pounds |||
jjli of cottonseed meal a day to eac° horse and mule. This is both econo- ||
Hjl mical and patriotic. It pays the farmer and also serves the nation by jfll
i|jjl releasing corn for human consumption. On this point some agricul- j||
j||| tural organizations of the south have printed and circulated thousands ||
lift of copies of the following statement by Dr. Tait Butler: l|
Ill “There are in the eleven cotton states 6,500,000 horses and mules. fj|
|| If each of these were fed two pounds of cottonseed meal per day it Ijl
5! would release four pounds of corn each day from the usual daily feed |
H of about 14 pounds, and 200 days of such feeding to all horses and -I
mules would release 100,000,000 bushels of corn for human food—and l|
ji the mules and the horses would be benefitted by the change. |
y “4 pounds of corn at $1.55 per bushel costs 11 cents. I
y “2 pounds of cottonseed meal at $40 per ton costs 4 cents. |
“The feeder would thus save 7 cents per day on each head of |
stock, or a saving oj $14 per head in a period of 200 days.”
