The farmers are the fifth line of defense, and if the men go to 
war it will fall upon the faithful American loomen to keep the 
gardens growing. But war or peace, we recommend these garden 
uniforms. The Shopping Service at 445 Fourth Avenue, New

one of them.

smock and sunhonnet to match. It 
has deep pockets and a wide belt 
and is smocked in white silk. The 
sunbonnet is finished with a feather 
stitch. The uniform may be had in 
any color linen. We advise a dirt 
color so that the bugs cannot see 
your approach. The price? Oh, 
yes. $6 complete

ing gloves, scissors, pad and
