The new spring Jackets for youthful
wearers are very simple-some double
breasted with rundown collar and hand
some buttons, others single-breasted, with
strapped revers. The extra deep front
gives a remarkably graceful curve to the
figure. Models formed of rough but soft
light weight black cloth are closely fitted,
and bound and strapped with black silk
braid. Some of the dress jackets are open
and rounded on the fronts and are richly
trimmed with Jet in trellis patterns laid

The bodice is still the point of vantage

A Pretty BEDROOM.
New York Post.

New York Post.
A north bedroom in an ordinary city res
idence has been transformed from a monde
script department into a charming pink
and white room at small expense. When
the house was rented this room, assigned
to the daughter of the family, had ugly oak
woodwork, shabby and worn. black slate
mantel, and a wall paper of a character
less floral design. For the wall a striped
pink and white paper with a border of pink
wreaths in empire design was selected The
ceiling was kalsomined to match the
cream-white ground of the paper and the
woodwork painted white to correspond.
The white brass-topped bedstead was fin
ished with q white valance of striped mus
lin to match the curtains. A homemade
divan, put up with the aid of a carpenter,
was covered with cretonne with pink flow
ers on a cream ground, the pillows corre-
spondingly finished. The floor was stained
with a light oak stain for a margin and a
rug with a dark unobtrusive center and a
border in which some pink tones appeared.
though not bought new for the room,
proved very satisfactory. few chairs,
also white, with the books and bric-a-brac
that girl delights in, made the room very
pretty to see and a source of great hap
piness in it's owner. An oak writing desk
and shabby dressing bureau, stained in
another shade of oak, became smart furni-
ture for the new room when treated to a
coat of white paint from the same pot that
changed the woodwork and then a coat of
enamel paint.

Good Roads.
The Automobile.


Wherever good roads are to be found
there the people are well-to-do and pros
porous. Good roads are the foundation of
civilization. Communication is education;
activity, success. In many sections where
roads are passable only during certain
periods Of the year, business thrives for
that time, and during the remainder of the
year the people have the isolation of a
savage race. In rural sections the market
IS accessible to farm products only at such
times as the roads are passable to heavy
leads. The activities of a people keep
pace with their means OF communication.
Their commercial success depends on the
facilities for reaching the market. Their
social and educational success depends
on the ease with which the people can
mingle and exchange ideas. Civilization
improves as the various departments of
human activity are brought to success
full issue. Our railroads have become
great trunk lines, skipping the intermediate
points and benefiting the outlying sections
only through the link that connects them
with the chief points on the through line.
This link is wholly or in part the public
highway. The railroads have been brought
to position of excellence, while the COM
mon roads belong to past century through
the Indifference of the people that would
receive the greatest benefit therefrom.

Or give the cook directions,
And great Is the relief she feels
When she has made selections.
When dinner things are cleared away
The problem that Is upper

She wants to give them something new,
And long is meditation,
Till choice Is made. and then begins

When supper things are cleared away

For then she thinks of breakfast time
When meals are often hurried.
She ponders DER IL long until

Then bustles round till she makes sure
That everythings provided.
That "woman's work Is never DONE

But that she's worried is fact,
And cannot be refuted.

Is greatest of these questions,
And glad she'd be If some one else
