Fashion Fancies.


Gold lace is used to a great extent
to trim white lace blouses.
The new lingerie blouses are to be
trimmed with fchus, set up high on
the waist and giving the effect Of
collar.
All hairdressings are low and fat.
Few pompadours or elevations Of any
kind are worn. The hair is dressed to
make the head appear small.
A very new skirt has an opening in
front with a wide flap. the same idea

A CRAZE FOR
TAFFETA EXPECTED
MiIIinars and ModIstes Exploit
ing 1t In Spring Designs.

If one can judge the future by the
present we will be wearing taffeta for
everything except underwear. Even
the rumors last November of what was
to happen in the spring were not half
as serious as the condition.
The milliners, as usual, have the first
showing, and they have invented hats
Of every degree in taffeta Of every
color, shot and plain. If you have seen
any of the displays during the last two
or three days you must have marveled
as to why and how every one seemed
to unite on taffeta on the same day.
Whole hats are made of 1t, large hats
have crowns of it, small hats have
bows of it. all shapes have brims Of it.
Straw is quite thrown in the back
ground by the appearance Of this soft,
iridescent silk that is a rich cousin to
the taffetas of other days. It Is akin to
satin and therefore will find a warm
place in the hearts of large multitude.
The French milliners are not using
the silk as lavishly as the American
ones, but as both are combining to use
it in many ways there will be little
chance of escape from it as soon as the
spring season in millinery starts in.
1t has long ceased to be the fashion
to wait for Easter to display ones hats
or. in fact. to wait for any glimpse of
warm weather.

COOPERATE FOR GOOD
ROADS IN NORTH CAROLINA
First Association Formed In 1899 Has
Accomplished Wonders.

There is concerted interest and ac-
ton in the good roads movement in
the mountains of western North Caro-
lima. Macadam and sand-clay roads
have been and are now being actively
constructed throughout the entire
"Land of the Sky" region in western
North Carolina, there already being
hundreds Of miles Of splendid hard
surfaced roads winding about the
mountains, across hills and valleys
from one section and town to another
Asheville is the center Of this good
roads movement, from which traverse
a network of good roads all over Bun
combe and adjoining counties.
The first good roads association in
the entire south, the Asheville and
Buncombe County Good Roads asso-
citation, was established in Asheville
in 1899, at which time there were prac-
tically no improved roads in the coun-
ty outside Of the city Of Asheville and
the Vanderbilt estate.
Immediately after organizing this as
ISOLATION raised $4,000 by subscription
and regarded and macadamized the
road from Asheville to Biltmore and
stimulated further effort. Since the
county has built about 100 miles of
macadam and sand-clay roads. grades
have been changed, whole roads relo-
Gated. Asheville has more than twice
doubled it's pavement, having now
nearly forty miles, and the county now
operates three rock crusher plants and
has full equipment for road building
at each plant

child. From a number Of studies in
different cities this has been found to
require the playground to be within a
quarter Of a mile Of the younger chill
dren and not more than a half mile
from the older children.
One Of the two ideals in the develop
ment Of the park systems Of this coun-
try has been to secure landscapes and
scenic effects through the development
Of large parks and boulevards. These
have been used for the most part by
people with carriages and automobiles
who have the leisure for driving dur
ing the day. They have added greatly
to the beauty Of the city and to the
value of real estate, but have served
in the main the weather. people only.
There Is a second idea, which has
come into prominence in the last ten
to furnish recreation and exercise to
the people. This means that the
grounds must be purchased in the
neighborhoods where the people live.
Inasmuch as the chief recreation time
Of working people is at night, the
grounds must be open and available
for use during the evening. So far as
these recreation grounds are play
grounds for children, they should be
fenced, should be without shrubbery
and should be well lighted at night.
If the park is seeking landscape and
scenic effects its use as a playground
Is merely incidental to its general pur-
pose. II such system of parks should
furnish the needed facilities for play to
the children this could be only an acct

PERSONAL CARE OF ROADS.
New Jersey Adopts Plan to Lengthen
Their Life.

Their Life.
Colonel e. A. Stevens, state highway
commissioner. agrees with the officials
Of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor club that only close supervision
will extend the life Of the roads of
the state.
In order to prove the plan advocated
by the motoring organization the COM
missioner will employ several men to
look after stretches of roadbed about
three miles in length. These men will
be held responsible for the roads in
their care and will be instructed to
watch for defects and will be expect
ately.
Supervision such as the railroads
employ is what is necessary" said the
highway commissioner at conference
held with officials of the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor club, who are
leading the motorists fight for better
roads.
until we arrange for the personal
care Of roads our roads will be de-
stroyed. Under the personal super
vision plan road repairs will be made
Immediately. The time to save road
from destruction is when the first sign
Of defect or destruction is noticed
"The next legislature. l trust, will
appropriate sufficient funds to aid the
highway department in it's endeavor to
protect the roads Protection of the
character outlined means the saving
Of many thousands Of dollars to the

Taxpayers should give careful
