souvenir contained Mother Goose
rhymes. The ball was eleverly open
ed by a group of professional dancers.
There stood at the extreme eastern
end of the ballroom in an aleove a
large reproduction of a book of
Mother Goose rhymes, arranged so
that as the leaves turned various
characters entered the room.
An interlude vas played by the or
chestra. and the fairy godmother was
the first TO appear, followed by two
attendants holdings as standards
golden geese. From the side of an
alcove came eight page boys, all
bearing standards, on top of which
were the heads of various animals
with their eyes illuminated by cleo
trio lights. The boys marched about
the room setting down the standards,
which afterwards were used to mark
the dancing space. The music chang
ed. and Mother Goose appeared from
the book, taking her position at the
side to introduce the various nursery
rhyme characters. When all had
entered they formed for a quadrille
and at the end fell back to reveal in
the center a witch, with her cauldron
and little devils. Fairies followed with
a wild dance, and this ended with two
circles of whirling dancers.
There were then liberated from
each corner of the room small bal
looms, and the professional opening
of the ball ended.
As hostess Mrs. Fish was queen of
the fairies. She wore a beautiful cos
tune of satin trimmed with rhine
stones and %spangles. The gown had
a long court train OF silver cloth and
spangled net. In her hair she had
an electric star. and her silver slip
pers We're laced with ropes of dia-
monds set off with large rhinestone
buckles. Mrs. Fish carried a wand on
top of which were several small cleo
trio lights. Two little fairies follow
ed her to hold up her train.

gle for woman's suffrage is a strug-
gle for the freedom Of the feminine
legs, initiated. as suffrage history
tells US, BY the Intellectual attempt TO
introduce those awful bloomers.
Perhaps once woman gets her legs
loose from their traditional restrain
ments-and officially recognized
she won't want to vote. She'll feel
SO comfortable and capable she'll be
satisfied.
She shortened her skirts-dis-
%seminating the surprising knowledge
that she had ankles-and the sani-
tary improvement in her dress won
the approval of men.
The hobble skirt, absurd as 1t is in
its EXTREMIST manifestations, is an
other step toward freedom; for it
does away with the useless yards
and pounds of cloth that women car
ried around. to their physical injury.
Already most women-except
Queen Mary-are eager for the ad-
vantage of riding astride; have
aged to acknowledge their legs frank
~ enough TO put one on eaeh side OF
a horse.
In swimming women nave learned
that skirts and boomers, while a
concession to medieval opinion, are
always fatiguing and sometimes
dangerous. They are coming more
and more TO use mems suits-im-
proved and modified-and becoming
stronger swimmers in consequence.
Little by little, as feminine legs
are being freed and accepted in the
way nature intended them, their
h~armlessness and propriety are being
conceded. In time we may get used
to them as perfectly natural ad-
iuncts of the feminine anatomy.

CONCRETE ROADS ARE BEST.
Fisher OF Lincoln Highway Associa-
ton Quotes Figres in Proof
of Construction and Costs
of Maintenance.


Carl z. Fisher, vice president of
the Lincoln Highway association,
which Is promotins Inc proposed
$40. 000. 600 eoast-to coast road,
points ont the mistake of construct
ing highways of material that will
require large annual expenditures for
repairs.
Like Elwood Haynes. who recently
expressed his conviction t hat eement
concrete roads were far and away the
cheapest in the end, as well as the
best for traffic. Fisher is an outspok-
en- advocate Of cement concrete for
good roads.
Fisher tells OF mistakes that have
been made In other states by building
macadam roads. the cost of which vas
but little less than concrete in the
first instance and which have
required a tremendous annual X
penditure for maintenance, while
concrete roads are costing little or
nothing to keep in shape.
The example of New York should
be considered" Fisher says. New
York state spent s50.000.0 900 for
highways. They were built of ma
cadam, and were no sooner complet-
ed than il became evident that under
the heavy traffic the maintenance
cost was going to be excessive. Ii has
proved to be as much as $1,000 a mile
a year. Now they are beginning TO
build concrete roads. the mainten-
ance of which costs hex to nothing.
In Europe, where the macadam
roads were formerly kept up by one
man working twelve miles, now, UNI
der the heavier traffic conditions. it
has been found necessary TO put three
men on one mile. Now they are
planning to substitute concrete for
these macadam roads.
Around Detroit there have been
built about 200 miles of concrete
roads. with a seven or eight inch con-
crete base and a four-inch floated
concrete surface. The original cost
of these roads is only $500 a mile
they are fifteen feet wide-and the
maintenance charge is practically
nothing. 1t is estimated that they
will stand up for twenty years with
out repairs, and that their life is
practically indefinite.
"As a test, a road was constructed
with maeadam on one side and on
crete on the other. The cost of the
maintenance of the macadam half
proved to be $500 a year, while the
charge against the concrete was 1915
for inspection.
"As the macadam construction
costs s9S00 a mile, it will be seen
that the difference in first cost is in
significant.
In another test a road was built
with maeadam on the sides and a
strip of concrete in the center, where
it got the bulk of the wear. After
three months a survey was made.
and the depreciation of the macadam
was estimated at 5 per cent and the
depreciation of the concrete at moth.
ing.
Colorado has also adopted the
concrete construction for its high
ways. and around Grand Junction
there have been built several of
these roads.
The comparison with rock
asphalt is equally convincing. The
life of a roek-asphalt road is estimat-
ed at four years ut the fourth year
its condition will be poor.
Some of these concrete roads are
sustaining a travel of 1000 vehicles a
