An interesting exhibit at the Ameri-

States department of agriculture. Sec
rotary Wilson of the department has
authorized Director Logan Waller
Page of the Office of public roads to
give a complete exhibit Of the gov

roads hurt the farmer and how inn
proved roads aid not only the farmer,
but the consumer.
Four of the biggest associations
which are working for the improve
ment Of public roads are consolidating
their forces In order to make the next
American Road congress the biggest
affair Of Its kind in the history Of this
country; they are the American Road
Builders association, the American

MUST HAVE A BoUDoIR CAP
Detail Of the Summer Brides Costume
That Really Can Not Be Done
Without.

One Of the details which no summer
bride could think Of emitting from her
trousseau nowadays is the captivating
boudoir cap, all the more desirable be-
cause it is meant for the delectation
of one particular person. Such cap
may be made as It's wearer Wills. She
has only to fix on any period or ma
tionality that she pleases and to modi-
fy the cap of the epoch to her own
pretty features.
Mob caps are little out Of date. but
some girls may prefer a dainty frilled
mob with flowers and ribbons to one
Of the newer models, which are rather
like cottage bonnets, the hood part
made of spotted muslin, the accordion
plated or goffered frill and curtain
being held in place by a piping
through the middle and edged with
Valenciennes.
Neither gofforings nor plaitings,
however, are facile to redress. and SO
we would commend rather bonnet of
point d'esprit with lace frill and cur
tain. a plated band Of green or blue
satin across the front and little
group Of pink satin roses at each ear.

Parisienne skillfully manages her col

use. Curlously enough red parasols

MADE A PRETTY TRIMMING
Attractive Adjournment for Hat That
Was Achieved by Woman
Of Taste.

A most attractive trimming worn
upon a hat of burnt straw by lady
whose good taste is undisputed was
fashioned in this manner:
A pattern for a large petal was cut
and used as a guide to fashion petals
from tan-colored corded silk.
Two thicknesses Of silk were used
for each petal; these were stitched to-
gether by the machine, turned and
stitched again, quarter inch from
the extreme edge.
Twelve of these were sewn to a
small disk of buckram to form a flow
er.
In the center of this was chou of
narrow silk fringe Of tan. The center
of the fringe was formed by disk
of gold cord adorned by two small tas-
sells.
A cord of the silk finished by a row
of fringe trimmed the base Of the
crown.
This makes an altogether smart hat.
A yard of silk, five yards Of fringe and
two yards of gold cord are required.

Black for Summer.

The black toilet is likely to be a
favorite for summer. It will be re-
lieved with ecru, white. straw color
and biscuit. Each of the latter are
tints with some similarity. but they
are distinct notes of color. White
and black lace will be worn in COM
bination. and the new summer models
are already appearing in large num-
bers. Gowns Of black Ninon silk en-
broidery in black slightly veined or
worked with tinsel threads-are
among the latest ideas for summer.
They are beautiful in all black. the
touch of color being obtained by pip
ing the embroideries with bright tur-
quoise. Parma mauve, or orchid pink.
Red Is to be popular as a trimming,
as 1t will be the chief coloring Of frock
and hats. Red hats and swathed waist
belts, collars and cuffs, and even en-
tire costumes are shown In delight
full shade of light red.

Good Roads
6 Farm Notes

Don't forget to plant few pumpkin
seeds.
A weedy pasture is an Improbable
piece of property.
A NEEDLESS cornfeld is the sign Of q
farmer who is proud Of his calling.
Alfalfa may be put into the silo. and
it produces fair quality Of silage.
Celery may be transplanted to tho
garden any time from May rs to
July 1.
Rape Is one Of the best annual for
age crops for temporary spring and
fall pasture.
Hen manure is an excellent fer
tilizer, but it is not the thing for the
potato ground.
The hired man who gets up In the
morning without being called Is worth
hanging on to.
A tanning mill will more than pay
for itself in one year on any 100 acres
of land farmed
The main thing Is to decide to build
silo After that you can begin to-
think about the kind.
Rape or rape with the small grains
for pasture offers an opportunity to
save much hay and fodder.

Love
Conquers All
By ALFRED GIBSON

Hugh Rendell Allistaire had been
brought up in the lap Of luxury. He
was an only child, and his parents had
done their best to spoil him. Strange
to say, they had not quite succeeded.
He had, 1t is true, achieved few virtues
and many vices. but there was a gem
eral wholesomeness about the lad that
suggested possibilities when he ar
rived at the years of discretion. At
the time Of writing he was II, and
had never done days work in his
life. He had never, indeed, done any
thing that he had not wished to do.
He was perhaps in quest of further
experience In this direction when, in
company with chum, he dropped In
TO afternoon tea at the Criterion res
taurant in Piccadilly Circus.
At table In the corner Of the hall
vat two girls, one pretty and one more
han pretty. It did not take him g
traction Of second to make up his
mind to sit down at the next table
where he could face them. His friend
was prepared to enjoy the hunt.
After casting at them few admir-
ing glances in his best style, Hugh
wondered how he could approach
them His companion, Cyril Humbert,
was equally perplexed. 1t was feirly
evident that the ladies themselves
we're determined to take no notice.
They would not even take offense.
1t was six months after the Critic
fion incident that he caught sight of
her again. His heart gave great
ubound, and he was partly stified by
emotion. 1t was an experience he
had never felt before This time she
was accompanied of all men In the
world by man who looked like a
bishop.
Hugh followed them along Regent
street into Pail Mall, where he ran
into the arms OF an old school chum.
"Oh, say. old chap" cried Hugh,
'.can you tell me who that church
man Is over there, that one with the
girI.'

that was old Bishop Chudleigh, and If ]
am not greatly mistaken that is his

COUNTRY ROADS or CONCRETE
One That Cannot Become Muddy and
at All Times Provide Secure Safe
Footing ls Desired.

It is becoming more and more evi-
dent to farmers and those interested
in good country roads that more
lasting material than earth or the or
binary macadam must be used. Near
Coshocton, o., two concrete roads
have been built which have success
fully withstood one severe winter and
show no wear either from traffic or
weather.
The first view shows a 10-foot con-
crete strip laid on the old roadbed.
The second shows an 1S-foot strip Of
the full width Of the road. The lat
ter joins the macadam road which is
deeply worn and rutted. Concrete I'm
the first case replaced block stone
road. which had given away under
heavy foods and travel, and the other,
limestone macadam road, whose life
was only one year, due to heavy traf-
fic. At present the 18-foot strip road
carries all travel from the concrete
road and also from another brick road
and shows much less wear than the
brick.
A country road which cannot be-
come muddy, which will give at all
times a secure footing for horses and
which will need little or no repairs.
would be the greatest Improvement in
farm conditions that has been made
In recent years. Concrete seems to be
the only material combining these
qualities with low cost. A decade
from now, our country roads Of con-
crete may equal our city pavements
in efficiency under all conditions oe
weather.

suit Of accident or whether Miss Chud-

by design, he could not say; but it
was only after deal OF maneuvering

This little chap who appears so
lonely in the open field or in the rear

crawls slowly from beneath a damp

It is estimated that over $500. 000, 900
