POLKA DOT IN FAVOR.
Summer Materials Covered With the
Small Disks

What is the real or apparent connec-
ton between sWeltering hot weather and
the polka dot. For the most part this de-
sign is tabooed in winter and looked upon
with small favor in spring or autumn
But once let July or August spread hot
sunshine abroad and the populace of our
large cities demands polka-dotted neck
ties, neck handkerchiefs for bathing cos
tunes, polka-dotted materials for ladies'
cravats for shirt fronts and also for stock
ings.
Lisle thread stockings in blue, seal
brown or gray are duly furnished with
polka dots. We select polka dotted fou-
lards, India silks or challies instinctively
from fabrics ornamented by other designs.
A polka-dotted parasol never goes out Of
fashion in midsummer from year to year.
Meanwhile the fashion journals gravely
mediate upon the intelligence that this
season" there is a great furore for polka
dots, obliIious of the fact that it is an
annual revival, which might almost be
predicted in our almanacs.

1t Is truism of dressmaking that
double-width materials cut to far more
advantage than your single-width goods.
TO he sure, the innocent purchaser must
have her eyes open and not be cozened
into belief that "double-fold" material is
the same thing as double-width. You
could fold yard-wide goods down the
middle If you chose, but this process
would not convert it into true double
width, which seems to mean an average
OF ~ inches, but measures often A, 46,
48, 30, 81 and even "a inches wide A full
skirt is easily made from wide material,
as it only requires goring at the upper
part Of the breadth.
The narrowness Of dress silks has long
been felt to be disadvantage to the
dressmaker. Why they were woven in
such narrow breadths was a mystery left
unsolved. The arrival Of double-fold
foulards is most welcome. Perhaps
afterwhile We can have double-width In
dia and taffetas.

WIDTH OF RoADWAYs.
Should Be Governed by the Mature
of the Traffic.

Should Be Governed by the Nature
of the Traffic.
Perhaps the first question which the
roadmaster has to consider is that con-
corning the width of the way he is to
build. In this country, as we'll as in
most of the states of Europe, the tend
ency is to make the roadbed good
deal wider than sound practice die
tates, says n. S. Shaler. A part Of the
badness of our American roads is gen.
orally due to the fact that the track
way is far too wide to be effectively
maintained In this, as in many other
of the grosser arts, we may well take
a lesson from the ancient Romans, per-
haps the earliest skillful roadmakers
in the world. They invariably built
their roadbeds with no more width
than was sufficient to permit two Wag-
ons conveniently to pass each other.
In general the paved portion Of their
ways, even those which were most fire.
quented, did not exceed IA feet i'll
width. They were not indeed much
narrower than those which are com
monty found in our country districts.
Our American ideas of largeness de-
mand a roadbed from Is to 20 feet in
width, bordered on either side by a
waste of land forming a useless kind
of a common and having an aggregate
width of from 20 to 80 fet. This sell
wage of untitled territory, which is Of
ten worse than worthless, because it
becomes a nest and nursery of weeds,
is frequently maintained beside our
best constructed ways.
The loss of good arabic land arts
ing from the unnecessary width Of
the highway and it's fringes often
amounts to as much as four acres in
area for the mile in length, and in
some parts of the country more than
per cent of the tillage value of the re-
gfon is thus, in obedience to an absurd
tradition, deprived of all utility
The nature Of the traffic which is to
go over a highway is an important ele-
ment in determining both the width
and character Of the construction. The
main points to be ascertained are the
number, weight and width of the car
riages of all kinds which are to trav-
erse the way. If the traffic is likely
to be large, the road will need greater
width and more strength near it's mar
gins than where it is to serve the need
of but few vehicles.

MEET ON AUGUST 10
Modern Woodmen of Kenosha and
Racine Counties Will Hold Their
Annual Picnic in Kencsha.
VIM. j. BRYAN is EXPECTED.
ee Silver Candidate Has Been Asked to
be Present-To be Rich in Politics and
Fun-7,o People Expected.

| At their meeting in Racine Thurs
day afternoon the managers of the
Modern Woodmen's association of Ra-
cine and Kenosha counties decided to
accept the invitation recently extended
to them, and the annual picnic of the
order will be held IN this city August
10th.
The city of Kenosha secured the
great gathering only after hard
fight, as there were many cities seek
ing the honor of entertaining the
Woodmen.
z. G. Simmons has offered the asso-
citation the use of Washington Island
as picnic ground, and it is expected
that one of the largest crowds that
ever visited the city will be here to
attend the event. AT the picnic of the
association held at Union Grove last
year few attractions were offered, but
notwithstanding this fact fully seven
thousand people were present and took
part In the sports offered for the bene-
fit of the visitors.
All sorts of amusements will be pro
vided for the big crowd which will
come to the picnic and games of base
ball will be one of the features.
But the meeting of the Wocdmen
promises to have political aspect. As
speaker of the day the committee in
charge, are making an effort to secure
the services of William Jennings Bryan
and they think if they can get the
boy Orator of the Platte the success
of the affair will be assured. But,
should it not be possible for the great
silver leader to come, ample amuse-
ment in the way of speakers will be
provided, as the association has al
ready invited also the candidates for
governor on both the Democratic and
Republican tickets to make the picnic
field day. Many of them have prom
ised to be present and others will un-
doubted1y follow suit. Lieutenant
Governor Northcutt, of Illinois, ONE OF
the leading officials Of the Woodmen
has been invited and will make a
speech. Several other state and ma
tiona1 officers of the order will be pres
ent.
1t will be the pleasure of the people
of this city to arrange to give this rep
resentative benevolent order hearty
welcome and do all in their power to
make the picnic of 1900 a great success
