I -- v ^ tr gw New York City.?Tasteful morning jackets are essential to comfort and well being and can scarcely be possessed in too great number. This very woman's morning jacket. charming May Manton model has the merit of being essentially feminine and graceful at the same time that is ideally comrortaoie. as suuwu, u ia made of white dimity with collar of revering and frills of Valencennles lace; but various white and colored materials can be substituted and neeidlework can be made to take the place Of lace. Dainty striped materials are fashionable and always effective; polka dots and other simple all-overs are admirable and such plain colors as blue, pink and lavender are pretty Svhen they suit the wearer. The back of the jacket is plain and [terminates at the waist line, but the fronts are elongated and fall in 6oft graceful folds. The sleeves are in el 4 a. STYLISH bow length and comfortably loose. At the neck Is a big sailor collor that is becoming to almost all women. To make this jacket for a woman of medium size, three and three-quarter yards of material twenty-seven inches wide, three and a quarter yards thirtytwo inches wide, or two and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide, will be required, with seven and a half yards of Iace_to trim as illustrated. A Corset Sachet. The corset sachet is made of two yards of four-inch wide satin taffeta ribbon in color to match the corset, or In the wearer's favorite tint. Make one yard of the ribbon into a rosette bow, which fasten to the Alsatian bow,made of the other yard. Sew the selvedges of the ribbon in the Alsatian bow together, leaving a small opening at each end, into which stuff white cotton batting, which has previously been used sprinkled profusely with sachet powder. Violet and heliotrope mixed in equal propoitions produce a delicate and lasting odor that is liked by most people. Fasten this sachet to the outside of the corset at the bust line. A Stylish Costume. A stylish separate waist is of yellow Bilk of rather a deep shade, with a little white at the neck, hardly enough to call a yoke or a vest. It shows a * pretty contrast in blue velvet ribbon, which ornaments the waist at the front?inch wide ribbon of a 6oft blue, I which is best described as a cadet, In a number of long bows. Another pretty waiBt is the one shown in the large drawing by May Manton. Used in the same sketch is an attractive flve-gored skirt which serves to complete a costume of exceptionable beauty. Stringg of Pearl* In the Hair. London is at last waking to life, dinners become more frequent, and jewels are once more in requisition. The newest notion is to twist strings of pearls in the hair, and if this is neatly and artistically done, the effect is excellent, especially when the hair is dark. This is really an old fashion revived, as a glance at books of beauty or portraits of ancestresses will easily prove. It is by no means necessary to use real pearls; indeed, many people consider that contact with the hair Injuries the beauty of valuable pearls. Coral Piping. A wood-colored tweed, soft and fine, Is made up quite simply with a tailored model, and plenty of lapped seams and rows of stitching. A touch of color occurs on the bodice, in the neighborhood of the white lace front. Coral pink panne velvet is used to pipe the opening, to edge the high stock collar, to border the wrist edge of the sleeve. There is not too much of the vivid yet dull pink, just enough to be grateful to the eye. Coral pink Is generally becoming to blondes, although brunettes oftener wear it. Sweetest of Morning Jackets. The sweetest of morning jackets is made of accordion crepe lisse, "with deep ruffle of lace. The sleeves are elbow length, and also lace ruffled. A fichu, the lower edge of which Is threaded with black velvet ribbon, fastened with rosette and ends at the hifk. extendR across tlin bust, an A is caught under a similar fastening. A black velvet threading and rosette completes the sleeve at the elbow. Knot Superseding Bow. In the wash ties and neckbands fashion has produced something as practically useful and durable as it is pretty. The pique stocks of white, with a narrow colored lawn tie, always look fresh with a cotton gown. The knot seems to be superseding the bow. Oblong ties with rounded ends are among the newest, and some are ornamented with tiny pearl buttons. Th? New Wedding Yell. Some new wedding veils of the most diaphanous sort are in thin chiffon, beautifully hand embroidered at the border with white silk. They are frail and elusive as a mist. Brooches For Belts. Brooches especially designed to fasten the belt or the blouse in front are one of the latest novelties. The prevailing style is a turquoise set In dull gold, and the size seems to depend on the capacity of the purse. A Bit of Color on the Handkerchief. A suggestion of color on the handkerchief Is coming more and more Infr (JUS'JL'UiUili. general favor. Narrow hemstitched borders of a color matching the summer suit are used, and many of the French initial handkerchiefs have the letters set on a shield of pink, blue or green. For Young Girls. Dressmakers are making evening gowns for young girls with ruffled skirts, with three wide flounces composing the skirt, or trimmed with a cluster of narrow ones at the foot. Woman's Tacked Skirt Waist. The shirt waist that closes at the back is a marked feature of the season and is peculiarly effective when made of fine material stitched in tucks. The smart May Manton design shown is admirable in every way. The original is of white lawn with insertion of Valencennies lace and is charmingly simple; but the style lends itself to many materials and combinations. The front is tucked to yoke depth only and so forms soft, becoming folds below, but the backs are tucked to the waist line to give the snug At essential to correct style. The sieeveg are novei, ana uuogeiuei i-uaiunug, being laid in two groups of tucks, four each, with lace between. At the wrists are soft cuffs of lace and tucking and at the neck is a stock to match. As shown, the material beneath the lnce is cut away to give a transparent effcct, bu : the insertion can be put on as applique if preferred. To cut this waist for a woman of medium size, four yards of material twenty-one inches wide, three and \.y.. yn\ tucked shirt waist. tliree-elght ynrds twenty-seven inchea wide, three and a half yards thirtytwo inches wide, or two and a quarter yards forty-four inches .wide, wil' be required. * |fg&.OI?f^A]?s! w i - ? Penalty For Neglected Highway*. Y"""|r"T HE Postoflioe Department Is . I trying to use the rural free p delivery experiment as an argument in favor of good roads, and where the experiment has failed to improve the bad roads along the routes the service will have to be abandoned. The department has gone over the records to see how many routes were interrupted by the condition of the roads last spring, and has sent out notices that unless the roads are improved to prevent similar interruption this spring these routes will have to be abandoned. The records show that a great many routes were interrupted from one to seven days last spring. There were forty of these routes in Iowa, twelve in Illinois, ten in Wisconsin and a less number in other Western and Southern States. The record against Iowa is not so bad as it seems because that State has a great many more rural free delivery routes than any other State, and, like Illinois, the State suffers at times from bad roads which cannot be improved. The department admits that it will have to give some consideration to the difficulty in building roads in Iowa and Illinois, where the depth of the soil makes it almost impossible to construct roads that will be passable at all seasons of the year. It is admitted that there are routes in Illinois and Iowa where everything possible has been done to make good roads for the greater part of the year, but during the spring freshets these may be impassable for a few days. The order is meant to apply to those routes where the.people are indifferent to the condition of the roads and have allowed mem iu uetumc luijia^aut^ through neglect. The inspectors "will report on the routes that are interrupted this spring, and where the interruption is due to neglect of the roads they will be abandoned. Where the interruption is due to conditions, which cannot be overcome the department will make allowances and continue the service. But the department regards rural free delivery as an argument and an Inducement to build good roads, and "vherever the people are indifferent to the advantages of the eervice the departmnt holds that the experiment is a failure. The demand for rural free delivery is greater than the department can meet with the appropriation by Congress, and it will favor those communities which show most appreciation by building roads over which the Government can send mails with the least possible interruption. Prepared For Summer. In the late spring after the ground ?--1 cViAiiul hn nrn. oas Beiueu, ttit? tuauo ouvum w ***** pared for summer travel by being shaped up vith the "road machine" or "road grader." When this work is done, the ground is comparatively dry, and consequently the heavier road scraper is required and can be handled on the roads. It is somewhat unfortunate that, this tool is ordinarily called a road grader, since the name has possibly led to a misconception as to an important use of the machine. As an instrument of road construction, this machine is used to give a crown to the road; but as an instrument of maintenance, it should be used only to smooth the surface and restore the original erown. Apparently some operators assume that the machine is not to be used except to increase the crown of the road. Employed in this way the crown is made too great, and a big ridge of loose earth is left in the middle of the road which only slowly consolidates ana which is likely to be washed into the side ditches to makitrouble there. Since the introduction of the road machine there has developed a strong tendency to increase the crown of the road unduly. Doubtles the object is to secure better drainage of the road bed, but piling up the earth is an inadequate substitute for the drainage. Side slopes steeper than' just enough to turn the water into the side ditches are a detriment. Other things being equal, the best road to travel on or to haul a load over is a perfectly flat one. Good Roads a Ncccspity. With many expression of appreciation for the warm hospitality extended by the business men of Philadelphia, the convention of the Southern Industrial Association adjourned to meet next year in Memphis, Tenn. Before adjourning the following resotion was adopted: Whereas, The territory of ihany of the Southern States is entirely or largely remote rrom -water navigation, and, Whereas, The more prosperous countries of Europe have realized from the earliest periods the vital importance of good roads, and that much of their prosperity depends upon a system of fine roads, and, WherefiS, We of the South realize toe great disadvantage under which wc are marketing our valuable products; therefore, be it Resolved, That Ave. the Southern Industrial Association in convention assembled, do hereby earnestly urge upon the attention of all good citizens of the South the importance of the improvement of the roads, and do hereby memorialize the Legislatures of the various Southern States to take up this important matter and to enact such laws as will tend toward the betterment of the roads of their respective Stales. Toorly Drained Roads. ? ~ Ar\Snl/\n /i^ rAfl /I OV. XI. IS U1L' OUltiCU OpiUi^U UL ivuu VA perts thut farmers would better abandon dirt roadniaking unless they do it scientifically. If the dirt roadway be left to Itself it becomes hard packed at least in the course of years, while the elaborately graded and good-tolook-at, but insufficiently drained handiwork of the unscientific roadmakers falls an easy victim to the first severe rainy season, because it has not had time to be packed by traffic. Glittering generalities seldom produce the gold of truth. . Evils of Bad Construction, Success in advertising depends more and more upon the clever idealization ] of the article advertised, and the adap tation of the idea to the intelligent re- 1 increments of the particular constit- 1 uency reached by the advertising me- < dium. The badly constructed advertisement is frequently as meaningless I to the averaire reader as the German ' student's translation of the quotation: i "The spirit Is willing, but the flesh is I weak," which he picturesquely ran- 1 dered as "The ghost is ready, but the meat is poor."?John Lee Mahin. Papers Build Up Towns, The effort of any newspaper to build up a town Is practically nullified unless It is backed up by the business men of the town. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to Its advertising columns, and If he fails to find there the business cards of the merchants and professional firms he comes to the conclusion that the editor Is not appreciated, In which case it is a good place to keep clear from. No town ever grew up without the active assistance of Its papers. Nor can papers grow and build up their localities without the assistance of the town. Business men should realize this, and remember that in lending support to their local papft1 they are not only building up their own business, but are helping to support that which is steadily working for the growth of the whole town. In fact the newspaper is so important to a community's welfare that If there Is a town struggling along without one the merchants are keeping money out of their own pockets^by not seeing to it that one is established An Interesting: Possibility. The market for bridges is far greater in the United States than elsewhere. The States have now 190,000 miles of railways, and it has been estimated that there is an average of one span of metallic bridge for every three miles of railway. This gives 53,000 bridges on existing lines, without including those required for new lines. The increase in the United States of the weight of cars and engines has resulted in wonderful economic changes. This increase of weight of rolling stock has led to the renewal of the 53,000 old bridges by stronger and heavier ones. This demand has brought into existence many bridge building companies, and they can well afford to equip themselves wlthjthe best laborsaving and accurate working machinery, regardless of first cost, as they know it would seldom, if ever, lie Idle. ?Baltimore News. An Epidemic of Dkldneil, The ladles of Osaka, in Japan, are in a state of the utmost terror lest they should lose/their beautiful hair through a disease which results In baldness. It is not unusual for a fair one to have her hair dressed one day In a most elaborate manner, and a few days later to find every hair come out In the comb. This remarkable epidemic prevailed in the China perfecture last spring, and now It Is devastating human heads In Osaka. The disease haa also claimed a few victims in Tokio, where the police have issued stringent regulations to barbers regarding the disinfection of their scissors, combs, razors, etc. The germ of the disease, according to one doctor, is of an "extremelv fine sort." and more dangerous to the hair of women than to that of men.?London Dally Mall. \ Woman of Seventy Climbs a Tree.
