It is gratifying to note that the
road commissioners in the several
towns of the county are following
the suggestion of the state highway
commissioners to begin early on the
roads so that they may be in good
condition for the summer travel. In
too many instances it has seemed to
be the policy of some towns to delay
this important work too long, some
times until after haying is over and
there is but little else to do. This
matter of road Improvement is one
of the most important questions
which confronts the country town
and it is encouraging to note the
fact it is receiving more serious and
thoughtful attention each year.
This is as it should be, as good roads
are sure indication of prosperity.

Modes of the East Taken Up by Eng
Iish and French Leaders
of Fashion.

An unusually pretty frock of fine
Organdie is daintily trimmed with ap-
pliques of white Shantung. The filet
of the bodice is darned with pale
shades of brown, and there is girdle
of changeable brown and pink silk.
Handsome enameled buttons also
adorn the corsage. The present fash
ion of draping the figure in oriental
manner is particularly loved by Eng
lish women, and their French sisters
have taken up the fashion with fer
vor, since many of the models for the
English races have been made in Paris
this year.
Green in very delicate cool shades
is used for some of the prettiest frocks
created by Worth. A particularly love-
iy model is of soft green satin, with
corselet skirt daintily embroidered in
long lines of chine ribbon and silk.
The bodice is cut square to accommo-
date yoke of embroidered grass linen,
and upon the front are endless rows
of narrow valenciennes lace and net.
The sleeves are cut open, but held to-
gather by chains of the embroidery
and two large green silk buttons.

The beauty of these scarfs is be-

and crspes, some plain, some embroid-
cred, others exquisite affairs of plaided
crepe, the plaid in self color and of
Satiny texture. The white and deli

burders in Persian design and colors
ara also very beautiful, and, let us
add, very expensive.
