The proper amount of bagginess depends largely upon the individual. for not all figures can stand this extreme fullness With blouse waists and plaited skirts women do seem to be getting away from the tigth. close fitting effect of skirt and waist and it sems as if they would soon be able to move quite comfortably in their clothes.
 The cutaWay coat first made it's appearance in the very short coat, then gradually became elongated It was so universally becoming-to the slender-that it soon came into gen eral favor even among those not ex- 9ctly suited for the style. The nat ural evolution of the cutaway is the redingote few of these redingOtes were shown in the fall and the only reason they were not adopted more was that the opennes of the cut did not afford sufficient protection for winter wear and the Russian blouse offered so many advantages with it's long straight lines and high collar that it easily won out as a first favorite. But with the approach of spring these redingotes promise to become very popular. They have so many advantages to commend them for spring wear and for three piece suits they will be ideal, for they are made sufficiently open to show the gown underneath.
 It is extremely doubtful whether We shall see much more fullness in the skirts next season than we have in the seasons past, during which the scant skirt has held sway, for these redingotes do not permit of much fullness beneath them. The only skirt so far which admits of any fullness is the fine, flat plaited one, and these are so held in with tapes that it is only seeming full ness.
 Hats continue small and the close fitting effects show no sign of abey- ance. Long shaped turbans that look like little boats, with a tiny bow at 1 the top, front and back, have been much worn. ToQues of velvet that resemble bathing caps with two vel vet rabbit ears standing up in front are also very popular.

Pads and Fashions

NEW YORK Jan. The season is now in full swing, to remain active until the beginning of Lent That means that everywhere. at the opera. at the theater. at the big hotels and restaurants parohized by exclusive society and would-be society. not to mention the various social functions at private houses. the seasons most exquisite styles are displayed and may be studied to advantage. The most salient of the characteristic features of present day fashions un- doubtedly- fs the decided favor shown to the slim figure. Gowns and coats seem 10 be made for the slender woman exclusively and the woman who is not slender finds little sym pathy and has to make the best of the situation by dressing in such manner as to create the illusion of being simmer than she really is.
 Another rather striking feature is the reappeatance in many interesting forms of the blouse. The short blouse is seen on many evening gowns and is relief from the surplice effect SD long in vogue The Russian llbuSt Nbl T Sp IllhCH lliIS W liiitl Lpi street suits is doubtless responsible for it's popularity. It has proved so satisfactory and so generally be- coming that it's influence is now felt on all classes of clothes, be they suits. gowns or tea gowns.

 Many of the evening wraps this season show this blouse effect. the looped under portion starting hali way between the knee and the waist lire. This blouse movement on the evening wraps confines itself prin- cipaHy to the back of the garment however. and with the center droop- ing lower than the sides it is quite graceful in effect

AUTO IMPORTS FROM US.
 ALARM EUROPEAN MAKERS
Increase of From One to Twenty two Millions in Value of American Made Cars tc Continent
 in Ten Years

The invasion of it's territory by the American automobile has filled Eur ope with alarm. The low priced American car is driving the English and French makes out of the market Ii is only in the last few years that American manufacturers have given much attention to the European market, but in that time the trade has grown by leaps and bounds. In 1912 the American automobile export trade was only $1,0OO,OOO In 1912 it was s22,OOO,OOO, and by including tires. parts and accessories. our auto mobile sales in Europe reached $30,- 000,0
 Europeans have denounced the American car as cheap and bad, but it has made it's way because it is both cheap and good. Curiously enough our roads have mad some thing to do with the result. In order to stand up on the worst roads in the civilized world, the American car had to be strongly built. Expert manufacturing to meet such condi : tions and tremendous output have neabled us to produce a cheap car that beats the world. At meeting of the British auto mobile makers. Lord Montagu, editor of the Car, England's leading motor ing weekly, having just returned from a visit to American automobile factories, was frank enough to say I am not going to denounce the American car as cheap and bad. be- cause know many of them are cheap and good. The only way to fight their importation is to combine and produce just as cheaply a car, equally good, suited to English roads. '

Our bad roads have made necessary a strongly constructed type of car. That having been accomplished. the wide use of the automobile in this country must bring about better built roads. That is is an advantage to have a strongly built car even where the roads are good is shown in the hearty reception given the low priced American model in Europe. But the pleasure of motoring is enhanced 8 hundredfold when road conditions approach the ideal.
 Nothing is more delightful than a motor tour of the British Isles or the continent, for one is absolutely sure of good roads wherever he may, go In Q country so vast as ours and Ill sections newly settled, it is too much to expect roads as perfect as those in Europe. But in a country which easily leads the world in the extent and perfection of railroad service, the good roads movement has not ad tanced as rapidly as it might have done. Some sections of our country that would prove exceedingly inter tSllnS TOT lnolOT touring are now practically taboo, on account of the fearfully poor roads. This is a stig- ma upon any state or section that should he removed as quickly as pos sible
 As soon as we appreciate the prime importance of roadbeds scientifically constructed it will be a matter of Cnly a short time till our roads equal those of Europe.
