Features Of City Building In That
Country America Would Do Well
to Copy.

The writer recently heard an elo-
quent extemporaneous address by Mrs.
Willoughby Rodman on features of Eu-
ropean city building that was one Of
the most powerful pleas for the adop-
ton of sane methods in street building
and maintenance ever delivered in this
city. In spite of this and the fact
that Mrs. Rodman has talked on the
some subjects to our city officials, not
n Of the latter has had the courage
of even the common sense to advocate
changes which cannot but appeal
strongly to every hearer.
Still more does the pathos of the
matter appeal to the writer, for in this
department has many times appeared
every recommendation, urged by Mrs.
Rodman, based on her actual obser-
walton of the best solution of the sew
eral problems as seen in the noted
cities of Europe. Several times have
we stated the following: When a
street in a German city is to be inn
proved, a sewer land nothing else) is
placed beneath the surface of the
street. Laterals are run to the curb
or property line on every lot, whether
a house stands on said lot or not. The
street is then never torn up. All other
public-utility services are placed I'M
der the sidewalks and are reached by
a minimum amount of labor by dig
gfng from private property or the
parkway. How much more sensible
than our absolutely fool way" of put
ting down a costly pavement this
week and allowing any and every
utility corporation to dig 1t up next
week-Los Angeles Times.

PLANNING AN IDEAL SUBURB

0oome<SIeai ASranoe~seNt.

In his plan for the development Of
an ideal residence district within or
near Chicago, Wilhelm Burnhardt. tho
Chicago architect, who won first prize
In the City clubs contests, discards GO
ometrical arrangement. Flowing lines
and irregular ~boulevards characterize
his plan; trees and shrubs are to be
used freely. 1t Is In attempt to get
away from the stir and prosaic effect
Of straight lines and has q precedent
familiar to many Chicagoans in the
suburb Of Riverside, where winding
streets were laid out at the founding
of the town with happy effects.
Lovers Of the picturesque lament
the inartistic results of the gridiron
plan which has been followed in most
towns of the United States. Much Of
the charm Of old world cities lies in
their irregular streets, and in this
country Boston is an example Of sim
liar effects. The curving street nat
urally finds it's greatest use in a
billy country; On fiat land the COM
mon impulse is to build all thorough
fares in straight lines. Utility, Of
course, seeks the shortest distance
between any two points, and for this
reason Mr.. Burnhard believes his ideal
residence district will not be marred
by business traffic. Whether Chicago
ans will take kindly to the plan is to
be seen, but the City club and Mr..
Burnhard are TO be congratulated on
it's artistic features. AS u civiliza-

To Attract the Home Seeker.

Every city vies with it's fellows to
prove most attractive to desirable
home-seekers. This class OF residents
is progressive or wealthy, or both.
The growth and influence of all cities
depends upon their success in adding
such people to their population. DO
you think bare, unsightly, implanted
streets will attract them? Certainly
not. We are essentially a Mecca for
tourists. The burning question is:
Where will they leave the most
money? 1t is said that tourists an
nually leave in Italy a sum of money
greater than the interest upon the ma
tional debt. The great mass of visit
ors t o Paris each year go there be-
cause it leads the world in civic art
and beauty. Do u American cities
enjoy such a reputation. Dr. in any
wise approach it? Will they ever do
SO? The whole exterior appearance
Of Paris closely approaches the ideal.
When shall we make . beginning
looking to similar results?

CONFERENCE APPROACHES.

Just a little more than a week
and the North Mississippi Con-
ference will assemble in Tupelo
in annual session.
With the coming of this rep
resentative body of one of the
great church denominations to
Tupelo we should feel a just
pride in having the honor of en-
pertaining them. The good
name of our little city is at stake,
and every one should feel the in
dividual responsibility that rests
upon them to entertain with true
Southern hospitality as many of
the delegates as they can conven-
iently care for.
All UNCONVENTIONAL lines should
be obliterated and the visitors
should be treated as the guests
of the people of the city and not
as delegates of a given denomi-
nation.
In doing this you should not
wait to be called upon, but you
should apply to the committee
on entertainment for as many as
you can take and have them as
signed you.
Besides the delegates there
will be many visitors who will
not be able to find hotel accom-
modations. Your house should
be thrown open to these it you
are not crowded with delegates.
The occasion must be made pleas
ant to all corners and the repu-
tation for hospitality and public
spiritedness of Tupelo must be
maintained.

TUPELO, MISS. Nov. IA, 1918
REPORTS EXAGGERATED


Mr.. B. T. Clark, for nearly
fifty years one of the leading
cotton factors of North Missis-
sippi, and who is regarded as
one of the best posted cotton
men in this section of the South,
is of the opinion that the esti-
mates of the 1913 crop have been
greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. Clark bases his opinions
on the difference on the first two
ginners reports for this year in
comparison with those of 1912.
Having noticed estimates on
the cotton crop ranging from
IA, 500, 900 to Is, 900, 600. | am
interested to know how such es-
Inmates are arrived at said
Mr.. Clark yesterday.
Our first estimate of the crop
is the cotton ginned, for it is at
the gin that cotton first appears
to be made into bales and to be
prepared for market. Being
governed by the number of bales
of cotton that have appeared at
the gins up to date, by the pro-
portion of the crop already gath
cred, by the reports of farmers
and by the general conditions it
appears to me that we will have
less than Id, O0O, 900 bales. the
crop of 1912.
"The crop, from reports every
where in the cotton territory,
has been picked and ginned
more rapidly than ever before
known, and if there is to- be a
larger crop this year than last,
the ginning at the two reports
should have been greatly in ex-
cess of the same reports last
year. Contrary to this, there is
a shortage of about 81. 900 bales
up to date of the second report.
"As a demonstration of this,
take any territory that is max
ing a larger crop than last year
and you will find the ginning in
that particular territory is very
much larger for the two 1913
dates reported than last year.
In this county, that will make
something like a third more
cotton than last year, the ginning
was double up to the last report,
and our farmers claim now that
they are nearly through picking.
The cotton on the hills is about
all gathered, very few farmers
report any more in the fields.
In the valleys they report rs to
80 per cent of the crop gathered
and the majority of this they
will finish gathering the latter
part of this week to the middle
of next, when they claim the en-
tire crop will be gathered. If
such be the case in a county
where the crop is at least one
third in excess Of the previous
year. what must be the case in
counties where the crop is much
less than last year.
The weather and labor con-
ditions seem to have been just
the same over the entire terri
tory. II this DE true ana we
are to have as large a crop as
gathered last year, we ought to
have something like a million
bales excess over the previous
year for the same date, and we
can but feel these excessive re-
ports of the crop are made by
the people who are not sincere
in their estimates and that it is
done to effect the market while
the free movement of the cotton
is on. If the crop is all to be
gathered and ginned by Novem.

Man Works From Sun to Sun,
WOInan'S Work is Never Done

At. one time this was true, but the
labor saving machinery that men use
today makes it unnecessary for them
to work from sun to sun; and they ac-
complish a great deal more a great
deal easier.
There is still bigger difference in
the change of the woman's work who
uses modern cooking utensils, such as
is found in our store. Not only can
her work be done quicker, but more
pleasantly and easier. to say nothing
of the difference in the results of her
cooking.

Oriental and natural silhouette now
aimed at by femininity and the cou-
turier. The skirt is very slightly
draped, its clever cut giving the smart
lines rather than an arrangement of
fabric.
DRAPERY EVERYWHERE.
The couturiers all unite In follow
ing the eastern effects so far as the
figure silhouette and the skirt lines
are concerned. Draperies are every
where and their variety is boundiess.
No two models are precisely alike
and indeed it is next to possible
to drape two lengths of fabric exact
ly IN the same manner--especia1ly II
each drapery is over different figure.
The folds will take vastly different
lines and movements, even If the ma
terial is caught up in the same man
ner; but the couturiers never do
catch it up in the same manner.
Every new model has a difference
from every preceding one that
arouses new interest-and a fresh
emulation on the part of COMPETE
tors. But in all this multiplicity of
drapcd effects there is one control
ling idea-the Oriental idea, the infu-
ence of Asiatic, Arabian, Turkish and
even Chinese dress that is dominat-
ing Europe now. This Oriental in
fuence has made itself felt in the cut
of simple tailored skirts, which bag
out ever so slightly below the hips,
tapering in again toward the feet,
giving a silhouette like that of an
Eastern woman, swathed in yards of
drapery above a slinlly petticoat or
bifurcated garments of soft silk or
gauze. There are even skirts cut in
such pronounced manner that they
have the suggestion of riding coat
in the outward slope from the waist
to the knee

These are the days when the sun
shines along the Riviera-when the
bleak east wind does not happen 20
be blowing. But when the bleak
wind blows the fair Parisienne stays
indoors, for she has not the courage
of the Englishwoman who dearly
loves to don rough coat and storm
boots and wrestle with the elements
on long tramp. It is when the sun
shines at Mentone, at Nice and at
Monte Carlo, that one sees the typi-
cal Paris fashionable in her glory of
new spring attire, fresh from the
hands of her favorite couturier and
milliner and embodying the last word
of Paris in modishness to the tips of
her little buttoned boots.
Tailored costumes are, of course,
the most prominent these days,
though one sees charming frocks in
the afternoon, at tea hour, and in the
evening-especially at Monte Carlo
may the cream of Paris fashions in
gowns and wraps be observed.
One notes the favor for mohairs
and mohair mixtures in smart tail
ored wear this spring; every coutu-
rier seems to have turned out at least
one model in one of these materials

The Parisienne wears boots and

to much stitching; eccentrically cut
perforations; sparkling buttons and
even sparkling heels; and the French
woman's buttoned walking boot has
invariably the curved Louis heel
which is worn by well-dresscd Amer
lean women only with formal after
noon and evening costumes. 1t is
easy to pick out the Americans on
the Riviera by their smart and we'll
chosen footwear, and there are now
special dealers in Paris who supply
their customers with American boots
and slippers, since these have been
demanded even by Frenchwomen who
have experienced the combined COM
fort and chic of the American shoe.
All tailored costumes of formal or
semi-formal nature, and, of course,
all elaborate afternoon costumes, are
accompanied by the buttoned boot
which is now the accepted type of
boot for such wear. These boots are
of patent leather or dull calf with tops
of suede in the tone of the gown, OF
dull black calf, of cloth or of white
calf with black trimmings-the latter
being especially dear to the French
heart. Tan boots are considered emf
nently correct with the travelling and

MACHINE EMBROIDERY
YELLED WITH NET,
A NEW NOTE.

Not a few of the handsome after
noon costumes worn at tea hour or
at afternoon fete affairs on the Ri
viera show trimmings of machine en-
broidery yelled with thin lace, with
net or with metallic gauze. The
embroidery, being a tub fabric,
does not appear boldly in combina-
ton with the silken fabric of the
gown, but discreet1y allows its rich
pattern to show through yelling of
gauzy stuff which combines the ma
teria1s in a modish harmony

SMALL HATS THE CRAZE.

SMALL HATS THE CRAZE.
Hats on the Riviera now are so
tiny that they are scarcely worth
mentioning-or would be, were it not
for their immeasurable chic. Moth
ing more chic than these saucy, tiny
hats has ever come out of Paris, and
strangely enough, for all their small
ness, the new hats show more of the
hair than has been the case for sew
eral seasons. In fact they are dimin-
utive, elongated skull caps with a
pert bit of brim at the edge, which
just fit over the. top of the head, the
large headsize allowing them to set
tie comfortably on the waves of the
hair. Earrings of one sort or an
other usually add the emphasis need
ed with such tiny hat, and usually
also a veil of the fashionable soft
mesh is swathed over the face and
under the chin. This gives a par
ticularly chic effect, for the Paris
ienne is at her best in small hat and
q well-adjusted veil.

ORIENTALISM PERSONIFIED
IS THIS GOWN.

From Christiane comes this bridge
gown of orchid faille, a new silk with
brilliantly lustrous surface, yet very
soft, supple texture. The draped
skirt bags at the knee over a sash of
silk which appears to draw in the
skirt under the baggy drapery and
the skirt is SO long that it must be
lifted at every step, revealing dain-
ty buttoned boot Beneath its hem. A
panel of machine embroidery in one
of the new Bohemian lace effects and
yelled with chiffon in the lovely or
child shade of the silk, runs down the
front of the gown and landings of
machine stitching in Turkish pattern
complete the Oriental suggestion.

and the softly woven mohair and
worsted fabrics lend themselves with
particular grace to the pleated and
draped tailored skirt effects. A
dainty little tailleur by Drecoll, worn
at a tennis tournament near Nice re-
Gently, was of citron-colored mohair
and had rather short cutaway coat
fastening at the bust with FIVE fiat
white pearl buttons set close together,
the buttonholes also being worked in
white. Above was narrow, turned
down collar of white satin. At the
back the coat was gathered in slight
ly just above the waistline with a
short belt, and up the outer side of
the sleeve ran five more white but
tons with attendant loops. The cut
away line of the coat was repeated
by a cross-over tunic on the skirt
and below this was another tunic cut
in the same manner. This suggestion
of the tier, or double founce effect,
is an important one, for the dress
makers are harping upon tiers of
founces, all applied fatty, in tunic
style, and the lingerie frocks of new
machine embroidered crepes, batiste
and wolfe, show almost invariably this
two or three-hounce suggestion.

THIS CALLOT DRESS HAS THE
CORRECT SILHOUETTE.

The feminine lines of the figure are
emphasized by all the new Oriental
effects of costume, and the manner
of standing, with the figure relaxed
and the knees fexed further, enpha-
sizes this line The dress pictured is
part of a Ca1lot-Soeurs three-piece
costume and strongly suggests the
