NITA'S NEW YORK FASHIONS
Dainty Accessories of Dress-Rsiieve the Worn AppearanceBags Give
 Finishing Touches.

Midsummer means gowns somewhat worn, or at least no longer possessing the first crisp of freshness of the ear- ly season. Then 1t is that the re- wear Of time by special attention to dress accessories.
 As very few women or girls wear hats. unless they are really necessary, the dressing of the hair must be thought out to a nicety. This does tresses, but IS more largely concerned with the many dainty head dresses af- fected by the summer girl.
 A good style, not too youthful, is especially adapted to the low coiffure now so prevalent.
 It is a semi-wide band of satin in any becoming color, ending in a. mod l eratelyi wide bow above single curl f that falls on the nape of the neck In 1 the center of the bow a rose can be arranged effectively.
 lA A simple and becoming band novelty
 is twist of gauge. held at the back by a Rhinestone barrette. If gauge
 seems too perishaible, the silver gauge ribbon which has metallic substance can be used.
 Many summer frocks are frightened up by a plaited white tulle ruffle. This does not interfere with the pre- vailing fondness for the low cut neck,
 
 l length of tulle cut in half, scanned and folded will make the width, which when laid in close plaits is neatly tucked. A satin ribbon band Is fitted close to the base of the neck with a 1 lengthwise bow of the ribbon on the 1 left side. giving jaunty finish. Instead of the fan chain which can even be purchased at the five and ten cent store, resourceful young woman designed a long chain effect of narrow black velvet ribbon, from which the fan was suspended. At the left side. forming 3 corsage trim ming, was a cluster of loops held by a. pink ribbon rose with green leaves. Worn on %dimy white gown which had been rubbed several times, the smart little touch made one lose sight of the fact that the frock was net worn on that occasion only. Of course bags of all sorts help out l in giving finishing touches to toilettes, whether they are of the tailor made variety or of a. dreesier style. One of the smartest seen this sum-
 naer was of white chiffon lined with
 white satin. It had a chiffon flap on l each side outlined with tiny pink roses faced velvet ribbon fell from under l the flaps on each side of the bag. A silver cord was used to sling over the shoulder. or with which to carry the bag in the pocketless ones hand. Such bag can be made from odd pieces of silk to match any gown. While not strictly utilitarian. a hand | kerchieG and pair of gloves with a small vanity box can be easily car- ried in this way, while the bag cer1 l tainly adds distinction to the costune You will note the prevalence of the ribbon rose in all these midsummer "dainties,' and any needlewoman of the slightest pretension to skill. can

Dear EDITOR
feel constrained to say some.
thing to the good pc ople of Rock

the SIGNAL in regard to the good
roads movement. Now. am for
good roads and the bond Issue TO
build them, because it is the only
way to get roads. 1 will try to
tell you in a few words why i am
for good roads. / think we are as
much entitled to them as We are
the gold paved streets above and
as responsible if we fail to get
them. Without the effort we
are sure in both casesto fail. Now
dear taxpayer before you cast your
vote against this issue, think how
little it will cost you and what a
relief it will be when the burden
is lifted from the poor Foil tax
payer and the man who by reason
of his six days WORK on the road
pays the largest road tax of any
other class of people in the county
Nearly every man says give us
good roads and if you want good
roads. you are certainly not voting
what you preach, if you vote
against the Bond Issue.
Now my friend tax payer, if WI
don't vote for the bond issue. !
feel like we have not voted on

and if we fail to vote that way tn
