EToN AND B0LER0 JACKETS
Both Are Short, Elaborately Trimmed
and FaneifulIy Cut, Is the Edlct
of Fashion.

The new jacket suits are really
novel. In an indefinable way some Of
them suggest the Eton and bolero;
others more than hint of the cutaway.
All are comparatively short, great
deal trimmed even though the skirt
is plain and more or less fancifully
cut. A number OF box effects are
catalogued, and these. too. show much
originality. The severe, mannish coat,
for the first time since its introduc-
tion, seems to have no real standing,
though 1t may attain : prestige before
the summer is on as foil to the
novelties.
A box coat with a skirt of simple
drapery, making together a model that
has appealed very strongly to those
who have seen It, was made up in
the original as follows: Serge in one
of the new brownish tones was the ma
terial and color, and there was. first
a foundation banded at the foot with
cotton corduroy, it banded in turn
narrowly with the serge, Over the
two was hung the tunic. the two edges
crossing diagonally in front just above
the corduroy and its foot landings,
which show merely as an inset
The coat has plain side sections that
close over a front and back that are
cut straight but have what fulness

belt. Collar and cuffs have the cordu.

HAVE THE STOCKINGS PADDED
Latest Idea That Is Sent to Us From
Paris Is Not Without Its Dis
advantages.

Padded silk stockings are brand
new idea from Paris. What with one
and one-half yard skirts and slashed
skirt hens, the neither limbs are
good deal in evidence these days, and
the French woman with a thick foot,
lumpy ankle and fiat calves, is do
ing her utmost to remedy these de-
fects now by wearing trim-buttoned
boots. which undoubtedly make the
ankle neater and daintier, and boots
with long lines that give slenderness
and aristocracy to the foot. Now pad
ded stockings have been added to
perfect the contour above the boot
top. It is not likely that these padded
silk hose will have any great vogue
in America Woe be to the woman
who buys q pair to wear with her
bathing suit, for the padding. which
so neatly rounds out the limb at the
calf, is not guaranteed against the
effect of salt water, which will be
more than likely to reduce the careful
ly placed padding to soggy Jumps In
the wrong places.

NEED OF CARPETS F0R ROADS
English Expert Recommends Use of
an "EIastic Skin" on the
Highways.

A lecture was recently delivered by
member of the board before the
Royal Institute of London on THE
Road--Past, Present and Future ac-
cording to Consular and Trade Re-
ports. The lecturer said the problem
was to find the best mode by which a
road should be constructed so that its
surface would not be broken by traf-
fic, so that the transit might be easier
for both passengers and goods, road
which would form neither puddle
holes nor exude mud from vehicles
and create no dust when the weather
was dry.
One thing was universally recog-
nized, that the road of the future
should be truly bound road in which.
whatever kind of stone was used, the
stone should be held together so that
it would form a crust. The lecturer
suggested that what he called a car
pet or an elastic skin should be adopt
ed as the covering.
The carpet, he thought, should be
made of bituminous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads in
various thicknesses, according to the
nature of the traffic. 1t should go on
in liquid form, solidifying quickly, but
always remaining resilient and COM
pressible, and so integrating with the
crust of the surface below.
The advantage of such carpet, it
was said, would be to permanently
protect the crust. and. just as carpet
on the floor softens the step so would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock Of rolling
vehicles 1t was admitted that the Or
iginal cost of road so laid would be
more than that of a mud bound road,
but spreading the cost over a series
of years 1t would probably not be so
great, since the crust of the road it.

SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY
Distance From England to
South Africa.

The capture of a swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal, South
Africa, the other day, has resulted in
an astonishing insight into the migra-
tory habits of birds. From number
and address stamped on the ring it
was discovered that the swallow was
one of 1,4S3 British birds marked in
a similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts, desiring to learn more asto the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking of birds began in 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
"ringed." About three per cent. are
afterward noted, but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears to have
made the longest flight so far A

in Yorkshire in July, 1911, was found
In February, 1912, in Flores, Azores.

Nawab scItan Jahan Began.

Ho We women suffragists! Did you
ever hear of Bhopal, Bhopal in the
land of the Hindus?
Bhopal is native province of India,
ruled by its own princely family. 1t is
one of the most flourishing and most
enlightened of all the native states.
Time was when it's inhabitants, who
were warlike, had little time for any
thing but fighting the Marathas and
other fierce tribes by whom they were
surrounde.
Then came old Nawab Eikander Be
gam-a woman ruler-and everything
was changed. The arts of war made
way for the arts of peace. She was
succeeded on the throne by a daugh.
ter and she in turn by the woman
whose emphonious name heads this
editorial.
The influence of these three women
rulers has been beyond estimate.
Bhopal has been at peace. Her peo-
pie have developed their industries and
their arts. They have fiourishad and
poverty has been decreased.

BELTS OF ALL KINDS WORN
Every Variety From the Heavily
Stitched Plain Leather to the Most
Elaborate and Costly.

The new beltS are of all kinds and
conditions, from heavily stitched and
fooled plain leather to the broad. soft
chamois and suede feathers which are
cut very broad and gathered into the
back by large cameo or some gold
or silver ornament. An old coin or
an intaglio, set in kind of frame OF
beaten metal, is constantly used for
this purpose, and the belt is then fas-
tened by broad buckle of plain met
al. often covered in leather. These
belts can be worn with the orna-
ment in front and the buckle at the
back-turned round as it were-in
which manner they seem to keep in
their places better even than when
worn in the old fashioned way.
Some of them are made in fine,
shiny black patent leather, worked
and fooled till it is as supple and soft
as suede In all cases the buckle or
