What Women Will Wear This Winter.

Discussing suitable costumes for
business women in The New Idea
Woman's Magazine for October,
the writer of the article remakS:
The reaction to very dark colors
which distinguishes this season
from its several predecessors
will have the full approval of
all those women who have TO
consider the practical before
all else. 1t may bc said, how
ever, that in spite of the profusion
of lace and furbelows lavished on
summer styles, there always is an
undercurrent of simplicity and SEN
sibility sought by the conservative
element, to which in great measure
the best business women belong.
Not only deep navy blues. ruby
shades of red, and the old fashioned
bottle greens which are being re-
vived, but black in combination
with myrtle green and autumn
colors produce effects which are in
keeping with the SOmber colon
scheme. Among bemannish suit
ings there are many unobtrusivC
stripes which are very attractive
and have almost superseded the
checked materials in popularity
The plaids are also very dark, tn,
newest ones Showinga combination
of brown and bronze greens. One
characteristic of the novelty plaiC
materials is satin stripe, general!
in black, which recurS regularly il
the pattern. The separate plaiC
shirt. particularly in the SHADOW
plaids, is feature of the season
1t is invariably accompanied by
waist of the predominating shad
in the plaid.

New Enterprises Projected

For some time quiet negotiations
have been in progress looking
to the establishment of an ice plant
and steam laundry i'm Berryville.
and while we are not in a position
to say just what shape the move
mentS have assumed. is sincerely
10 be hoped that they will resultin
the construction of two new enter
priSes for the town.
Berryville people have suffered
heavily from the ice famine this
summer, not only in paying an
extremely high price for this
necessary product, but through
inability to get it at all times.
At present the town is fairly we'll
supplied, with T. \. Hart selling
the Winchester Ice and Isaac
Holmes selling the Hagerstown
product, but a few days of the
hot weather will very likely find
US back in a similar ice famine to
that of a few weeks ago.
The very sensitive condition of
theservantprobIem presents a good
argument in favor of steam laun-
dry. Atpresent the waSherwomen
are so independent that they give
practically any service that suits
them, without regard to the fact
that that they are we'll paid.
The large and rapidly increasing
number of summer residents here
forces the people to realization
that a laundry must be established
I The patronage of our local peopl,
| will, we believe, be amply suficien
to make the venture 4 paying one
and the added clientele of summe
visitors will be large.

Montague for President

If it he asked what Southern
Democrats measure up TO the Pres
idential standard, it may be an
Swered that Virginia, the mother
of Presidents, of States and states
men, has at least one son who
would ably discharge the duties of
President Hon, Andrew jackson
Montague, formerly Governor of
the Old Dominion, who represents
the generation of Nirginians who
have no association with the Civil
War. Mr.. Montague is recogniz-
ed not only at home, but in the
North, as man of vigorous intel
lect, with high ideals clear
headed, practical statesman, who
gave Virginia an admirable admin
iStratiOn as Governor. So far as
intellect and force of character are
concerned, Mr.. Montague is as
capable of filling the Presidential
office as Mr.. Roosevelt was wher
he became President in 1901. II
the Democratic party should evincC
a desire to give Southern mar
first place ON the ticket in 1905
Virginia could present Mr.. Mon
tague as a man in whom tn,
national Democracy could fee
| absolute confidence. - Baltimor,

TO Bridge the OpeQuOn.

,n.nnouncement made by Secre-
y p Mccormick. of the Win
hester and BerryvilIe Turnpike
Comuany. last week, To the effect
,h.t the turnpike company would
.I,ertise in the next issue of the
u,rufacturer's Record for bids
Cor the construction of asteel bridge
o,erthe Opequon, has caused wide
.nread praisc through this entire
section.
of course the plans have yet to
he matured. as il, will bc necessary
fo~ expert engineers to come here
.n5examinc the banks of the stream
before they can from andintelligent
;desofthe contract TO bc performed.
As soon as the advertisement
o,,,ears we have no doubt that en-
c;neers from all the big bridge con
truction companies will come mere
and make surveys for the purpose
Of determining the character of
work to be used.
l. is said and generally believed
in some quarters that the announce
mont from the turnpike officials
that the privilege of stringing wires
and erecting poles along the turn
nike had been granted to the cleo
tric company, may also include an
understanding or amicable agree
ment concerning the use of the
bridge both for passenger travel and
tro}ov service. We hope this belief
Is we'll founded, as we have con-
.tended from the first that the pro-
|posed trolley line will be one of
The greatest benefits ever conferred
|lpon this section.
As soon as the bridge advertise
mentappears in the Manufacturers
Record we shall either print il
entirely or make such extracts
.therefrom as will give or readers q
clear understanding of the matter
from the public's point of view.
BY all means let us have a bridge
across the Opequon. 1t is hard to
realize that the public has been
denied its benefits all these years.
On with the bridge.

Improvements in the County

Dr. y. T. Harris and the COURIER
man made a visit to The Tuley-
ries," the palatial home of Mr..
Graham +. Blandy, last Monday,
and we were much pleased with
signs of improvement to be seen
on every hand at The Tuleyries. -
as well as along the roads between
that place and Berryyille.
We found Mr.. Blandy in the
midst of preparations for corn cut
ting, as he has large crop this
year.
The farm is stocked with the
finest breeds of Hereford and Hol-
stein cattle, Berkshire hogs, buff
PlymOuthrock chickens and bronze
turkeys, and is certainly one of the
most modernly equipped estates in
our County today.
Mr.. Blandy is an extremely YER
satile and energetic business man.
and keeps himself well posted on
farm affairs. On the table we
noticed every farm and country
publication of note which is issued
either in this country or abroad.
The mansion, its grounds and all the
out-buildings and barns have been
made modern in every way, and
one of the most attractive additions
is a large steel tower which sup
ports the reservoir for supplying
the farm with pure water from a
well about 500 feet deep.
Along the route we observed
new roads. new fences, new build
ings, and other improvements, 90
ing up on every hand. We were
led to the opinion that the citizens
in the communities traversed are
taxing more interest in improve
mentS than those in this end of the
County.
As our visit was entirely unlock
ed for on Monday. and as he had
expected to be busy out on the
farm all the day, Mr., Blandy haC
generously given all of his house
T servants a holiday TO visit the IA
nous caverns at Luray, an act @.
thoughtful kindness and considera
tion which we were very glad {,
note, and we are sure it was appre
ciated by the servants.
The homes of Mr.. p. II. May,
and Mr.. Il. Powell Page are Ger
tainly pretty places, and indec,
fortunate are their posseSsors.
The Millwood neighborhood real
ly has so many pretty home
around it that it is hard to "a,

Electric Poles 10 Follow Turnpike.

Permission was granted last

tric Company to erect poles and
string wires along the line of the
turnpike from a point opposite the
farm of Mr.. \. Moore, Jr., west
of Berryville, to Abram'S Creek. in
Frederick county.
There had been talk in some
quarters of refusing permission to
the electric company for the pur-
poses stated. but after the matter
was taken up by the Board of Di-
rectors of the turnpike company,
the permission was speedily granted
