ter in the future. I believe the
main fault is in the law, which has
been so much amended, and so
strangely, of late years, that it is
most exquisitely inadapted to the
prevailing requirements. Time
was when road overseers were APP
pointed by the court and held COM
pletely under it's control, and IN
return the people held the court
directly accountable for results.
Now, the court must accept the
%overseers, chosen often without
regard to their qualifications or
sense of duty; the responsibility
has been taken from it, and the
work on the roads often drags
along perfunctorily or is prose-
cuted with careless Indifference to
results. Not in all cases is this
true, but with some of them. The
election of road %overseers at slimly
attended school meetings, where
little interest is often manifested,
is a radical fault in the present
system, and ought to be corrected.
But until the law is changed we
ought to strive to do the best pos
sible under the prevailing statute.
Suggestions are asked for and will
be heartily welcomed. Let the
people arouse themselves and show
their interest in the work, and |
am sure the. county court, in so far
as it can legally, will give its best
efforts toward the end aimed at.
As for the REGISTER, it knows we
ought to have better roads, and it
believes we can have them; and
to this accomplishment it shall
labor without ceasing, supplement-
ing the desire OF all good citizens.

FLOWERS AND PEARLS
FOR YOUNG HEADS.

In sharp contrast to the blazing IL
aras, coronets and crowns Worn by
young matrons and dowagers at the
opera are the head ornaments affected
by the debutantes. These young wom-
Ell have elected to appear with their
coiffures surmounted by wreaths OF
flowers intertwined with strings OF
pearls. The effect is much more
youthful and is prettier than ceuld be
secured with diamond ornaments, and
the new fad affords just enough of a
change from the wreath of simple blcs-
SONS and leaves which has been in
vogue for some time, to make it Well
worth copying
Some of the younger set duplicate
the ornaments for the neck of thei,
ball and dinner gowns, making the
wreath entirely surround their shcul-
ders and end in a large bunch Of flow
tlS DIT lue lell SIDE or continue down
almost to the hem of the skirt in a
graceful trailing vine. This is deciCl-
edly English in idea and fashion.
Nearly every young girl who enjoys a
season in London possesses quantities
of those fluffy tulle frocks which are
considered the thing fer her by Eng
lish mothers. and in order to give va
riety and some distinction to ether
wise rather nondesc cript costumes. she
resorts to decorations CT her favorite
flowers. Tulips, orchiCE. gardenias.
and roses among the larger flowers
are liked best, while almost any cf the
tiny budE and blossoms lcok we'll
with their natural leaves. The pearls
may be omitted if the Iung vine of
flowers is used, though the head orna-
ment may CLEAN with their pure white
drops.
