FADS FOR WOMEN.

Those women who have preference
for lace coats should take advantage OIL
the mark-down sales now in progress. 'or
some such wraps are going at RIDICULOUS
ly low prices They are in black as well
as white and cream.
Black lace coats can be worn ior sew
eral weeks. while the lighter tones are
correct for present use as a slight prOtec-
ton from chill.
Indeed lace coats are much warmer
than may be imagined. Five dollars Will
buy a pretty coat, while for 80 some
thing elaborate may be secured

raised embroidery throws up the finer
laces with especial effect.
Embroidery on stockings IS more popu-
lar this season than it has been in many
years. This is accounted for by the
vogue of the embroidered glove, which is
supposed 10 match the hosiery in color
and design
Very dainty and becoming are the sum-
mer hats which are trimmed only with a
large bow of white or cream lace, tied
with many loops and wired invisibly SO
that the folds of the lace may not be-
come limp.
An attractive summer hat is that made
with crown of embroidered muslin,

The return of the collarless bodice is

PARISIAN STYLES FOR
THE AUTUMNAL COAT

dyer TO the same fur in its normal condi-
ton and coloring. though its popularity
in it's natural guise for long coats is ex-
traOrdnary.
Almost the only fur that has not shared
the general revival in peltry fashions is
the gray Persian lamb. 1t is a charming
fur, and one is glad to welcome it's re-
installation among the list of smart pei
tries under the name Of krimmer lamb.
A long wrap of this, lined with pale
gray leather. makes one confident of the
success of an effort to arouse our interest
and excite out admiration of the fur. 1t
has one great advantage over most OF
the gray furs in that, as far as know, 1t
does not fade. 1t IS also most becoming
TO certain type of face and coloring
For Innings one of the latest additions
10 our possible selection is the coat OF
the young reindeer. called by the quaint
name of pijiicki. 1t is beautiful warm
brown color and is used much in Ger
many for the outside Of coats 1t tones
perfectly with a dark BILE. and is. In
fact. almost exactly the same shade. II
was used with excellent effect as a lining
to mans cloth coat, of which the col
lar was sable. and would be just as sue
cessful for lady's motor coat. 1t is not
a cheap fur, but then, on the other hand
1t will really wear splendidly.

In the first place, the process Of stamp

respondingly inexpensive.
Thirty-f1ve cents will cover the cost Of
the powder, etc, and includes sample
transfer patterns. One could practice and
experiment with this, afterward trying
more difficult designs as experience war
ranted. Boxes of powder can be bought
separately. This comes in light and dark

For instance, in large city woman

the reason that there are SO many well

and naturally patrons prefer leaving their

IMPROVEMENT OF HIGHWAY
Plans for Road Between Washington
and Alexandria.

A Ameeting was held i'm the road office OF
the Department of Agriculture yesterday
to discuss the plans for improving the
road between Washington and Alexandra.
Beside the officials of the road office there
were present ST. John Wilson of Rich
mond. state highway commissioner, Engi-
neer Garrett of Alexandria county, Va,
and a committee representing the county
supervisors.
The plans for the proposed highway
we're talked over and it was decided to
start the work of construction soon as
possible. The plans as now tentatively
formed are to make urfaced roadway
twenty feet wide, with thirty feet between
the bitches. 1t Is to be constructed under
the supervision of the road office,s in ac-
cordancc with the best practice of modern
highway methods. it is hoped that some
of the work can be done during the COM
ing winter.

known to all residents in the town, not
| only personally. but as a person OF artis-
| tic tastes, because the simple transferring
of designs to cloth is not what patrons
pay for. as any one can do that for her
self. but it is the grouping or carrying
out of one design on number of differ
ent articles, such as pillow. curtains,
table cover, etc, that brings in large
sums of money.
In such a case the simple design is
bought and cut up. added to or detracted
from. as the article to be decorated re-
quires, and this alteration demands taste
and judgment. because when grouped the
pattern should look like single design.
This arranging cannot be taught, for to
make success of it one must possess
artistic ability. then learn by experience.
Women living in mall towns, I am told,
prefer the work done in their own neigh
borhood
The prices for such work vary from 5
cents a yard for stamping scallops for
buttonholing. up to 81 for panel or
paraSol, the price, of course, depending
upon the amount of work required
The stamping on china. l believe, must
be learned. Whether 1t would pay to in
vest money for lessons l am not prepared
to state, as each woman must decide this
for herself Certainly the fee is suffl
ciently modest and the time for learning
is comparatively short.
Whether there is any demand for the
work I could not discover, that is, with
much satisfaction
1t seems the pupil pays s. for instruc-
| tons, which can be thoroughly learned
In from five to six days.
Work is guaranteed the pupil when
competent The price paid for decorating
various articles. vases. plates. dishes,
cups and saucers. etc, is from 81 to $3
dozen, and the work is quickly done.
This sounds attractive = the pupil is
given two pieces to take home. and If
these are satisfactory. she is given more
