[ r\ ECIDEDLY young, and just as
| E' fresh-looking as a spray of ap-
| pie blossoms, this frock (8680) will
be lovely in silk print or flat crepe,
with airy white frills. Notice how
cleverly the frills are used to ac-
centuate the torso which is not
only the newest news in silhou-
ettes, but potent to give you the
long, limber look for which we’re
all striving. The full skirt, little
pairs of buttons down the front
and sash bow add to the youthful
charm of this frock.
With your big hat and patent
shoes, it will make you look as if
you had stopped from the pages
of the latest fashion book—and it
proves once more that to get real
individuality as well as newness,
you'll be wise to make your own.
A step-by-step sew chart makes
the easy pattern even easier.
Pattern No. 8680 is designed for
sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. Size 14
requires 314 yards of 39-inch ma-
terial without nap and 2% yards
of ruffling. Send order to:

Odd Chicken Coops

•
C. In some parts of China, weight
instead of price of food fluctuates
with market conditions. For ex-
ample, a housewife always pays
the same price for rice, but she
gets a "big pound’’ when it is
plentiful and "a little pound” when
it is scarce.
C. Such places as old" city ware-
houses, factories, breweries, ho-
tels and churches provide housing
for more than 40,000,000 egg-lay-
ing chickens in tiers of individual
cages equipped with feed, water
and egg-transportation troughs.
For instance, a $1,000,000 Florida
hotel that failed a short time ago
is now a "chicken coop" with 60,-
000 caged hens.
C When witnesses are sworn in
the law courts of Germany, all
other persons in the room, includ-
ing the judges, likewise rise and
raise their right hand.—Collier’s.

Just the Reverse
At a reception the woman chatted for
some time uith the distinguished guest.
One of the listeners complimented her.
"Oh, reallyshe said uith a smile,
"Tie just been concealing my ignor-

The distinguished guest smiled gal-
lantly.
"Sot at all, not at all, my dear lady.

A Bad Start
“Why isn’t Bill Jones at work
this morning?” asked the foreman
one Monday.
"He met with an accident at
his wedding on Saturday,” said
one of his mates.
"Accident?”
“Yes. As he and his missus left
the church, some of the lads made
an archway of picks for them to
pass under. Somebody blew a
whistle, and the whole lot downed
tools.”
A good joke isn't damaged when
it's cracked.
Why Bother Then?
"Why don't you show your wife
who's master in the house?”
“She knows.”
Nicely Said and Honest
“George, tell me the truth. Am I
the first nirl you're ever loved?"
"IV-flo, hut I'm a lot herder to pleusc
than I used to be."
Quite the Opposite
"Is that a popular song
daughter is singing?”
"Not in this house.”

"Don't you find that a new baby
brightens up a home?”
"I do. We have the lights on all

Whispered Secrets
As everyone is pleased with im-
agining that he knows something
not yet commonly divulged, se-
cret history easily gains credit;
but it is for the most part be-
lieved only while it circulates in
whispers, and when once it is
openly told, is openly refuted.—Dr,
