Road Surveyor, J. w. Blackboard Of
Middleway District closed the season
of road work on Monday before
Christmas, getting his machinery un-
der shelter in time to protect it from
the six-inch snow that fell that night.
Much OF the work of the fall sea-
son was done on the road frcm Wage
ley's Shop to PayRe's ford. Owing to
the change of location of part of this
road great deal of cutting and fill
ing were required. To facilitate
drainage, one nipe IL feet in di-
ameters and three smaller ones were
put in. Substantial improvements was
made on the Dark lane, leading from
Snow Hill on the Leetown road to the
Middleway pike. Grades have been
reduced, and considerable quantities
of crushed stone have been put on it
This latter road, it is hoped, will be
macadamized its entire length by the
end of 1913.

afraid of them and wore them stimy.

for a trousseau, and this is question
that no one can answer. Each girl must
determine it for herself. She alone
knows her needs, and further still. she
knows how much money she has to spend
on her trousseau and how much she can
expect to have in the future.
1t is wise to furnish six of each gar

She may have as many more as she

LIVERY year, few weeks before
- Christmas. frantic appeals are put
- forth by humane-minded women
that you do your Christmas shopping
early. Then. If you are the usual well
meaning but somewhat thoughtless wom-
an. it is too late to shop early. There
are only a few weeks left before Christ
mas. and IL is physically impossible for
YOU to do all your shopping before the
tabooed date.
Why not do the biggest part of your
Christmas shopping now?
The middle of August and the end OF
December seem far apart, and SO they
are. That is all the more reason why
Christmas shopping done in August is
done sensibly.
No matter where you are, YOU can find
interesting Christmas gifts, if you keep
your eyes open. Only buy things which
you would yourself like To receive for
gifts. Unless you naturally have very
poor taste this is good way to judge
whether or not other persons would like
to receive the gifts you choose.
II you see anything which you know
would please some friend. buy II and
label 1t as soon as you buy It,. Other
wise buy attractive things and leave the
labelling on them until later. 1t is rather
difficult to decide in August what you
will want to do in December.

pieces which are intended for evening
wear.
With the present tendency toward ltal-
ian silk and crepe de chine garments for
low gowns. it is easy enough to make one
or two of these suffice unless one leads a
brilliant social life In that case there
must be no curtalment of soft fine gar
ments that go with soft, fine gowns.
The choice of wedding gown should
be made only after due consideration of
what part it is to play in the near fu-
ture. There are some brides who are
sentimental enough-and one might add
silly enough-to spend large sums of
money a gown that is never Worn
except for the one occasion.
There are girls who have given Sl.onD
for frock that worn only during
the two hours of the ceremony and re-
ception. Others have given $500 for
similar costumes and the reason was he
cause some real lace was used But this
is not always disable afterward. for il is
cut in such way that il may not apply
to other gowns.
BY far the better method is 10 choose
a gown that one can wear all during the
winter for social affairs. No matter

whether the material is of satin or lace
or white silk net. 1t must be half high,
in the neck, for the night wedding with
its decollete gown is thing of the past
For years we have insisted upon the
wedding gown with the high neck and
boned collar. but modern fashion is SO
lax concerning collars during the day
that the wedding gown naturally follows
the lines of the other gowns and is
draped high at the back and low in the
