efits to Be Derived From Putting
Th%oroughfares in Shape.

national department of good roads,
says:
The possibility Of securing quick
medical assistance in the event OF
sickness in the family,
1.-THE ability of children to attend
school regularly, although possibly liv-
ing a considerable distance from the
schoolhouse.
The possibility Of the family at
tending church and enjoying social
intercourse with their neighbors and
friends, both in the country and in
town.
The possibility Of utilizing time
during bad weather by attending to
business and social duties away from
home both day and night.
THE enlarged rental value of the
farm.
The ability to market produce
when 1t is scarce because those living
on bad roads cannot get to market.
THE increase in the tonnage in the
hauling of produce to market and the
return haul of family necessities.
1.-THE increase in the value of the
farms by many dollars per acre and
the possibility of selling with a readi'
ness not known to those holding lands
not adjacent to good roads,
The Importance given to the coun
try by reason Of it's being inhabited by
people who build and maintain gooc

Perhaps the greatest curiosity the

Of $1,000, the sum Lord Cochrans

He Endorsed the note thus: "My

The clerk retired and the banker,
completely ignoring the presence of
his daughter-in-law, turned to his wife
and said:

be subjected to these family annoy

Judge Brewster came forward and
cleared his throat as if preliminary to
something important he had to say.
Addressing the banker, he said bold
ly:
"Mr. Jeffries, l have decided to I'M
dertake Towards defense"
His aristocratic client was taken
completely by surprise. For a mo
ment he could say nothing, but sim
ply stared at the lawyer as If un'
able to believe his ears. With an ef'
fort, he at last exclaimed:
"Indeed!-then you will please con
slider our business relations to have
ceased from this moment"
The lawyer bowed.
"As you please" he said suavely.
The banker turned to his wife.
"Alicia-come."
He offered his arm and turned to
ward the door. Alicia, in distress
looked back at Annie, who nodded
reassuringly to her. Judge Brewste

"Ah! begin to understand. You
knew Robert Underwood? Howard
knows your vo1ce-he heard you-talk-
ing to him Oh, Mrs. Jeffries! Are
you the woman who visited his apart
ments that night?"
The bankers wife bowed her head
and collapsed on a chair.
"Yes," she murmured in a low tone.
Annie looked at her in amazement.
''Why didn't you come forward al
once?" she cried. Think of the pain
which you might have spared us!"
Alicia covered her face with her
handkerchief. She was crying now
THE disgrace-the disgrace!" she
moaned.
"Disgrace!" echoed Annie, stupe-
fed. Indignantly, she went on: dis
grace-to you? But what of me and
Howard?"
Cant you realize what it means to
be associated with such a crime?" she
walled.
"Disgrace!" cried Annie contemptu'
ously. What is disgrace when a hui

Surely you realize the position it
puts me in?"
A new light shone in Annie's eyes.
What was this woman's misery to
her? Her duty was to the poor fell
low who was counting the hours until
she could set him free. HIS stepmoth-
er deserved no mercy. Utterly self
ish, devoid of a spark of humanity,
she would have left them both to
perish in order to protect herself from
shame and ridicule. Her face was set
and determined as she said calmly:

ayes" murmured Alicia in a low
tone that sounded like a sob, ut must

EADS AND FASHIONS

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The craze
for stencling has now invaded the
realm of dress. and it is impossible
to forsee where 1t will end Many OF
the new chiffon and thin silk waists
for fall show stenciled patterns which
are outlined with beads in very effec-
tive style. This trimming is really
very charming and. Of course, is much
more quickly applied than the same

very pretty effects have been achiev-

more and more high, boned stock col
lars are noted at the top of these
yokes. Dutch necks will doubtless be
good looking autumn street suit,
high collar around the throat is by
far the smarter choice.
There is growing tendency to dis
card the peasant sleeve with the cling
ing shoulder line for close-fitting
sleeve set into an arms eye, and
many of the new sleeves bell out to-
ward the lower edge. Long shoulder
lines, however, will undoubtedly con-
tinue for some time to come and some.
waists show shoulders extended sew
eral inches down over the arm, with
the sleeve set in between shoulder
and elbow in quaint, old-fashioned
style Many of the French blouses of
lingerie material have long sleeves
edged with pleated frills which fall
over the hand, picturesque, but rath-
er untidy fashion which never finds
enthusiastic favor with women who
have some kind Of work to do.
For trot-about wear with morning
tailored suits the silk blouses with
mannish cut and long sleeves are i'm
mensely chic. These blouses are made
of washable silk and mercerized pom
gee fabric which is very silky and lus-
trous. They are perfectly plain, with
few tucks in front to lend sufficient
fullness over the bust, and mannish

The high turnover collar is pinned
trinity beneath four-in-hand tie of
silk.
In the early fall days the shops al
ways show flannel shirt waists and
attractive flannels by the yard for
making up these waists for winter
wear; but flannel waists are really too
warm in our heated houses and under
fur and heavy cloth coats. Also, they
are too informal to be really smart
with tailored suits.
Women find the foulards of this sea-
son especially charming; they afford
the minimum of weight and warmth
and yet are correct for all occasions.
A woman generally looks welldressed
when wearing figured foulard gown
trimmed with plain-colored satin, with
touches of white or ecru lace.
Fashion insistenly demands that the
collar and jabot shall correspond. If
the collar is Irish lace the jabot must
not be Cluny, or vice-versa. Whatever
one is the other must be.
The willow plume seems to have
had it's day and probably will make IFS
final exit with the summer.
