Style That Date Back Into
Shadowy Past
Indeed Cleopatra lives In fashion
as well as In history. Ancient Egypt
inspires some of the best of our new
models. Egyptian effects, observes a
fashion writer, supply the new and
dominant note In many of our clothes.
On the Egyptian type of evening
dresses the embroideries are marvel
ous. Many of them are absolutely
true to the design of the period of the
Ptolemys, from the tombs of whom
archeologtsts have wrested some of the
most beautiful examples of needle-:
Nothing Is lacking In these Egyptian-style
frocks to make theni true to
their period and origin. The skirts
are long and wrap closely the figure.
The wonderful embroidered panels
rest flat There are the long, looied
hands which pass over the shoulders,
seemingly suspending the tightly
drawn draperies of the frock. There
are also the closely drawn hip girdles,
but always with the up-to-date touch
which ties the historic period Nptyle to
modern usage and makes It practical.
One of these modern touches Is the
use of mantlelike trains which adorn
many of the most extreme Egyptian
styles. These mantles, flowing out to
form long trains, make a modest cov
ering for the almost nude back given
through the Egyptian cut of the dress.
They are, however, weighted with em
broideries In metal, spangles and mock
Jewels.
From the Egyptian girdle to the
modern sash some of the models pass
abruptly with nothing In between to
link the two, and yet after all they
are not so far apart In the final ef
fect, especially when the broad ribbon
sash is tied at a low waistline with a
perky butterfly or oblong bow at the
left side.

There Is this to be said about the

SCOUTS SLEEP FINE OUTDOORS.
The scouts find camping out so ben
eficial that many of them want to
sleep outdoors the year round.
An authority on this subject de
clares It Is the healthful thing to do.
Col. Ernest K. Coulter, general man
ager of the New Tork Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
says:
"As to the practice of sleeping out
of doors under proper covering and
with adequate safeguards against rain
or, perhaps, having one's ears, nose or
other members frosted, the benefits are
so great that no one can question the
advisability of this course in many
cases.
"More and more people are sleeping
out of doors all the time and In all
seasons of the year, and I, personally,
feel that this practice should be en
couraged In every possible way of
course, under proper conditions."
8COUT8 AIDING CONSERVATION.
With so much Interest being taken
all over our country In the study of
forestry and preservation of our for
ests, the work now being done by boy
scouts along the lines of "tree study"
Is worthy of special notice.
This work Is being pushed by scout
masters, and the boys are, as usual,
coming to the front In acquainting
themselves with the nature and growth
of the different 'trees In their various
communities, in the same way scouts
have always "come to the front" in
matters of public welfare,
Utilization of Labor.
In dairying, labor may be utilized
at a more uniform rate throughout
the year than In nearly any other
farm business.
Use for Waste Land.
Land which Is not suitable for cul
tivation can be utilized for pasturage
for dairy cows.
Don't Crowd Calves.
1 Calves should not be crowded not
more than four in each pen. Provide
a stanchion for each calf.
