PUBLIC LEDGER OCT. 25TH 1913 Sashes Givo Distinction to the Gown ' 1 p I F there are girdle or sashless dresses designed for the new sea son, they seem to be keeping out of sight. Everything has a sash which dees not define the waist line, but wanders above and below and around or diagonally across and terminates wherever it sees fit, sometimes at the bust, sometimes under the shoulders, again half way to the knees, and rea sonably often somewhere near the waist line. Nearly all the girdles are of the new and beautiful ribbons. Some of them are of silk wrapped about the figure and extending from below the bust to the swell of the hips. To sum up the matter, you may wear a sash or a girdle of any sort of ribbon you choose and posed to suit yourself. Four fashionable designs are shown here. The first is called, the "Dres den," and is made of moire ribbon in all colors, with border and stripes in Dresden patterns woven in. It con sists of a girdle, a short, standing loop and a long falling loop with one end forming the sash. At the heart of this two-looped bow is a buckle made of narrow velvet wound over a founda tion of buckram. The velvet is in a dark shade of the same color as ap pears in the body of the ribbon. This is one of the most popular of all the many sashes now in vogue. It requires about three yards of rib bon, and is supported by narrow stays when fitted to the waist. The girdle without ends pictured next is called the "Alsatian," taking its name from the bow of two loops, and equal in length, which furnishes it. It is made of soft, mersa line rib bon. The heart of the bow is held in place by two shirrings over soft cord. A yard and a quarter will make this girdle for a waist of average size, say 24 inches. It is an easy matter to calculate the length required, since it takes a trifle more than a half yard to make the two loops. Adding to this the waist measure with a little allow ance for making and fastening above or below the waist line, the length re quired is ascertained. The wide and soft sash pictured next Turban Designed for Wear When Using the Motor TO Just what particular country of the far east we are indebted for the turban shown here makes no dif ference. India provides plenty of models for copies that are effective and becoming in proportion to their fidelity to the original. The turban shown here, designed for motor wear, is made of a shaped length of soft, changeable silk. It r wraps about the head and fastens with loop and button at the top. Here a pretty ornament, a mock jewel may with its suggestion of a butterfly bow, is called the "Geisha." Wide ribbons are chosen for this, and an ample al lowance for encircling the waist, since it is worn rather high. The ends are trimmed diagonally, and hemmed. The hem is finished with hem-stitching or bordered with a vel- retribbon in the same color as the sash. This sash will reauire three yards and perhaps a little more. It de pends upon the length of the ends. The shorter one, as a. rule. Is half a yard long. The character of the de sign admits of shorter ends, but hard ly of longer ones. The carefully made and beautiful girdle shown at the right is appropri ately called the "American Beauty." A soft, wide ribbon in rose shades is chosen for this, which is designed for afternoon or evening gowns. The rib bon is laid in four plaits and tacked to stays. The overlapping end of the girdle is finished with a shallow loop. Just at its base two very realistic roses (made of ribbon) are posed with a bit of millinery rose foliage and stems, are sewed to the ribbon and the stay which finished the end. Hooks and eyes provide a means of fas tening. The story of sashes is a long one. There is the "Wishbone" and the "Sul tana," both our interpretation of ori ental ideas. There is the "New York" and the "Roman Girdle," both excel lent for plain cloth dresses, and the last particularly effective. Then there is a big family of bordered sashes, and all those girdles of bril liant and rich brocades, with which the deep and somber colors used in costumes are made to glow color, which rioted during the summer, until our fashions were color mad, has re covered. Emerging from an all black and all white reaction (or a combina tion of these two) it is to be handled form the standpoint of art during the fail and winter that are before us. And it is the sash more than any thing else which will provide vivid touches to enliven our apparel.

A vast majority of housewives will be delighted with the many low-priced materials that are to be displayed among the new draperies this fall. woven and printed borders. There are new designs in the sun-fast fabrics, in the madrases, plain and fancy, in cotton rep, cotton armure, mercerized armure, poplins Flanders cloth, bengaline, double! faced damask and in mercerized Eton. A white lace rug! Does that not sug gest the irrational epitome? Yet the rug may be as practical as well as a very striking bit of decoration. The "net mesh" of the rug is of heavy ropelike cords. The floral pattern is executed In coarsely knitted leaves and flowers connected by stems that suggest Renaissance anDlicme over a dark green, blue or crimson carpet Its beauty Is sufficient to sug gest new possibilities In interior decoration. be used. The hair, except that about the forehead and a few stray locks about the face, is entirely covered. The coat is a mannish, rain-proof Af fair, with a velvet inlay on the collar and on the decorative straps that fin ish the sleeves. It is loose and roomy and it is warm. The pretty autoist is provided with a small bag made of silk, matching the turban, in which she carries her veil, goggles and what few toilet ac cessories she may need, when they i not in nse.

To Officials and Members of the Union: In previous utterances I have had something to say about alien or for eign ownership of our farm lands, particularly of lands in the south adaptable to cotton. I have said that it was an alarming development, and some people have pooh-poohed such narrowness of views, and, at any rate, it wasn't very bad, and only a few English or French spinners were experimenting! That is what I got for sounding an alarm, which I believed then formed a seri ous menace, and which now I am ab solutely sure is the case. Now, listen, you scoffers and unbe lievers. Do you know that between twelve and thirteen million acres of the finest cotton lands in the south are now owned outright by foreign in dividuals and corporations? Do you know that agents of these foreign in dividuals and coroorations are con stant lv working- to cret more millions of acres of the cream of coton lands? Do you know that foreign spinners are sending men here to be educated in ' our agricultural colleges and schools to take charge of these broad acres, cultivate and raise cotton to shin to sninners In England, France and other foreign countries? Do you think deep and sense what this means? Do vou know that it means the actual production of cot ton in the south on farms owned and cultivated hv forfiicners. and whose product will go direct to their mills in In plain words, we are sitting supinely by while foreign capital and corpora tions are taking our oldest, ricnestana greatest heritage right from under our noses. Time may not be far distant when our own Deonle. the men who have raised and supplied the world with its cotton for generations, will be re stricted absolutely to the home mar ket. Sounds scary, and I want it to sound so, for it is time to get scared a bit. There Is, too, the other grave danger in this' new something we are called on now to face, that of absorption of our farm lands by foreign ownership Conditions are bad enough in all con science by constantly growing city and town ownershiD of farm lands, which are cultivated by tenants or not culti vated at all. These things all tend further to de stroy our home-owning, -home-making type of fanner, the backbone and sinew and soul of our national life. You people who have been preaching and working and theorizing on a "back-to-the-farm" movement, think over these things a bit. Here is the innerness of things. and it is for wise and sane men to solve them. I ask national leaders. thinkers, men who 'really want to do something, to ponder these things seri ously. C. S.

The farmer, more so than any other business man re quires the services of a bank, if he manages his farm in a systematic way. While he has no need for a set of books in which to keep a record of every transaction made, yet, during the course of a year he must pay out large sums of money for various purposes, and a record for future reference is hiehlv imDortant. Merchants mav - r fail to give a receipt for cash, a neighbor may not recall the payment of money owed, but the farmer who pays his obligations by check has written evidence of such payments which any court must recognize. In the same way he has a record of monies received by the deposit entries on his bank book. To the farmer, who desires such a record for his busi ness, we extend an invitation to open an account with this bank. i I mnxiEEn COAL! COAL!
