NisSOUri's Good ROnds Day.
(Nittitas Spokesman


Missouri has set an example to the
entire country by 100000 of her citi-
zens responding to the call of her gov
ernor and each giving two days volun-
tary labor in improving the roads of
the state During these two days it
is estimated that work was done which
would have cost the state $1,50O,O0O if
paid for in cash. When it is con-
sidered that there are less than a mil
lion men in the state q years of age
or over the response for workers must
be regarded as showing recognition
of the direct benefit resulting from
good roads. The effect of Governor
Majors appeal and his example is not
only to make the highways of his state
show immediate improvement, but
arouses an interest and an understand
ing of the value of good roads which
will be Of lasting benefit.

Walla Walla has adopted the proper
scheme. She is issuing lot Of paw
ing bonds and in order to keep inter-
est money at home, is issuing them in
small ominations-$250- in order
to let the small fry invest. A pOpu-
lar bond issue is the right idea. The
man of limited means can then buy
the bonds or bond if he wishes. 1t

FREAK HATS ARE BANISHED
New Styles Show Designs Really LIk.
able and Wearabie, Though Much
Depends on Adjustment.

There is a certain reasonableness in
the new hats which at once strikes the
customer. The freakish styles have
been banished, and in their places
there is an array of really likable and
wearable hats. These hats sit square
ly on the head, and one can see
friend few yards distant, instead OF
being compelled to peep under brim
which completely envelops the wearer.
The hair is permitted to show itself,
and thus add softening frame to the
face, and the crown of the hat is d.
rectly over the crown of the head. The
wearer gives to the hat the little in
dividual touches as she adjusts it,.
There are women who can make al
most any hat becoming by the way
they wear it, while other women never
seem to place the hat the right angle.
This knack Of adjusting hat is born
in some women, while others must ac-
quire it. but 1t is we'll worth striving
for, even If the results always look
studied. 1t is particularly to be de-
sired this season, for the style of
many Of the new hats depends largely
on the angle at which they are ad-
iusted.

Proper Use Of Perfumery.

The proper use Of good perfume is
both sanitary and healthful. and the
''unco guild" who regard 1t as a wan
ton luxury of the frivolous minded
merely betray their ignorance by so
doing.
The abuse of perfume, however.
often makes the most ardent lover OF
sweet scents wish that their use
might be prohibited to all those who
are inclined to deluge themselves
with powerful essences before seek
ing the company Of other people
whose tastes are more refined.
Who has not suffered in the sitting
atmosphere Of musk, patchouli. or
some other equally overwhelming
odor?
The well-bred woman merely ''sug-
gests" the fragrance of a perfume;
she never shouts it! The very last
place it would occur to her to sat
urate with scent would be her hand

trasting lining.
Worn with the jacket is a charming
little cap in embroidery and lace. I'm

caps. made in the filmiest of lace, net
or embroidery, are becoming more and
more popular. and once their uses are
appreciated. this is easily understood.
For hotel wear they are almost indis-
pensable, where the early cup of tea
or breakfast is brought into the bed
room, before the hair is dressed. The
cap is simply slipped on the head and
covers multitude of sins in the way
OF uncoiffed tresses. II is. incidentally
most dainty and becoming and quite
easily manufactured at home. One is
apt to regard such ct ceteras as su-
perfluous, but the really dainty and ar
tistic woman will readily seize the op-
portunity of looking her best at the
most trying moments Of the day. by
such accessories as are within her
means. To our list of boudoir require
ments, therefore, we must certainly
add the boudoir cap, for it has so well
proved that its charms are permanent
and that II means to stay.
