Monday night was the time set for
the considering of objections to the
paving resolutions which were adopt
ed by the board of city commissioners
on February "A. 1t will be remem-
bered that at that time a petition was
presented by certain property own
ers asking that asphaltic pavement be
substituted in the resolution instead
OF concrete.
Change Their Minds.
Several weeks ago a meeting was
called at the city hall at which the
property owners whose property is
in the district to be paved we're pres,
en- At that meeting the concrete
supporters seemed to have the best
OF the argument and out-votsd The
asphalt supporters, but it seems that
since that meeting there has been a
big change in the concrete supporters
in favor Of the concrete asphalt pave
ment.
John B. Hanten was present at the
commissioners meeting last Monday
evening with a large petition asking
the commissioners to use asphalt as
the paving material. The petition
presented by MI. Hanten was signed
by property owners controlling about
300 feet of frontage and asked that
the board ask for bids on %asphaitic
concrete, the base to be five or six
inches of concrete and teh top to be
asphaltic concrete about two inches
thick, provided the price was about
$1.50 per square yard and the same
was guaranteed for 5 years. Mr.. Han
ten in presenting the petition stated
the same had been circulated by Mr..
Cannon, that he thought that the pc
tition contained a majority of the alb
utting frontage, leaving out the rail-
road and other public property-that
the same was now presented not with
the intention of stirring up strife or
delaying paving, but because the prop
erty owners who had signed believed
this to be better paving than plain
concrete He recommended to the
board that they amend the pending
resolution so that bids might be sub
mitted on this kind of paving as we'll
as on plain concrete. He also sug-
gested that it might be well to have
bids submitted on three or four diff
ferent kinds of paving material.
Col. Slower Talks.
Col. Lee Slower was present and
was asked by the commissioners il
he had anything to say. Mr.. Slower
said he thought the lind Of paving to
be used was settled seveSql weeks ago.
He handed a few jolts to the asphalt
supporters and this brought Ed Lamm
to his feet with the statement that
did not see why Mr.. Slower had
any objections as he did not have any
property in the district 10 be paved.
As matters commenced to get a
warm a motion was made by one
Of the commissioners to have a short
recess.
On being called to order again the
resolutions were taken up for
final reading and on motion Of Com
missioner Whooley. as each resolution
was read. they were amended so that
Portland was p~refxea before the
word cement and after concrete, the
words creosote blocks, avitrifed.

ARTISTIC DESIGNS IN
NEWEST EMBROIDERY

The piano scarf is being revived. 1t is
of width suitable for an upright piano,
with the ends hand-painted and often cut
out to conform with the shape of the
flowers decorating them. Felt is a ia
vorite material. The prettiest are In myr-
tie or apple green, in brown and in red.
the floral effects being heavily painted
in contrasting coiors.
Spring will bring us bluebird designs in
greater number and variety. They will
be seen in sets for bedrooms and for in
diyiduai pieces-such as pillows, scarfs
laundry bags, pincushion tops, work bags
centerpieces, handkerchief bags, etc. All
these are stamped and tinged in blue
colorings indicating the shading to be
used Many OF the articles are finished
with Cluny lace edge To give a mar
monizing touch, blue threads or the EN-
broidery cotton are often run through the
edge of the lace.
While We are on the subject OF em0rold-
ery it is well to mention feature in the
coming spring and summer embroideries.
This is the partially cut-out embroidery
designs seen ON the collars and CUTS of
the new b,ouses. They are very fetch
ing for frequently the design represents
a single object, such as rose. q butter
fiy or an oak leaf, boldingly embroidered
in rich, natural colorings. The design oc-
cupies the center of each cuff and the
ends of the collar. Ruttonhole and out
line stitch are combined In these.

every new movement that changes the
contour of the figure or the face. Posi-
bly, we do not agree with the unfamiliar.
When women cannot think of anything
else to put on their heads, they mount
an uncurled ostrich feather there Or a
gourah one may serve. This, of all orna-
ments, is the most difficult to carry
well. II is not worn at the front of the
head as the Persian brush is worn, but
exactly In the middle of the back. 1t is
attached to band of crystal or galloon,
and the feather is bedded in cabochon
OF size and brilliancy.
Here is bit of advice gained after
sitting by or behind many women at
evening affairs; refrain from wearing
anything in the hair unless you are GER
| tain il is right and that you are suffi-
/ GENTLY skillful to pose 1t at exactly the
correct angle. No matter how splendid Is
| the chosen ornament, nor how we'll the
| coiffeur has done his work, a feather
placed at the wrong angle can reduce a
| pretty woman to a plain one as quickly
as the chemistry of the devil transformed
| Faust into young man.

dainty lacey petticoats an actual part OF

auarter-length models have been prac-
ticallv ousted by the full-length ones.
I,ace-trimmed crepe de chine and chif-
fon petticoats are used most for the pur-
pose, though one very attractive ana
novel one has been seen made UP In

festooned net ruffles. 1t was charming
in appearance, though not very practical

This Is Guaranteed to-
Stop Your Cough
Make this Family supply of Cough
Syrup ut Home and Save -.


This plan makes a pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy
ready made for. $3.50 A few doses
usually conquer an ordinary cough
relieves even whooping cough
quickly.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar
with u pint of warm water, and
stir for minutes. Put 2l ounces
of Pinex $50 cents WORTHY in a
pint bottle; then add the Sugar
Syrup. 1t has a pleasant taste and
lasts family long time
lou can feel this take hold of
cough in a way that means bust
ness Has a good tonic effect,
braces up che appetite, and is
slightly laxative A handy remedy
for hoarsenesS, spasmodic Group,
bronchitis, bronchial asthma and
whooping cough.
The effect of pine on the men,
branes is we'll known. Pinex is a
most valuable concentrated COM
pound of Norwegian white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing pine ele-.
ments. Other preparations will
not work in this combination.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup
remedy has often been initiated,
though never successfully 1t is
now used i'll more homes than any
other cough remedy.
A guaranty of absolute satisfac-
ton, or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. Your

for you If not, send to The Pinex
Co, Fl Wayne, Ind.

SO far as warmth was concerned, as is so
often the case with the room gowns of
today.
The design shown in the sketch is more
practical than that just described and is
made most effective by the use of one of
the quaint lowered silks. Taffeta is a
favorite, and would look extremely we'll
for such a model.
The neglige Is short in front, but runs
to three-quarter length in back. The
waist portion has quite wide sleeves cut
in one with it that are shirred on cord
below the shoulder and again at the ell
bow, where a band of white moufflon tops
scalloped ruffle of self material. A ruff
fling of white net falls below the elbow.
The front of the blouse portion is sur
pliced, and the neck is finished with
double rulings of net. The high waist
line gathers in the blouse across the

back, and this is covered by another
banding of mouffion with the ends run up
over the bust on either side of the front.
The skirt portion is evenly gathered at
the top, and also along the lower edge.
where it is pouched and caught in place
to china silk lining. 4 wider scalloped
ruffie than that on the sleeve end fin
ishes the bottom. This is very scantily
gathered and bound with a narrow strip
OF self material. Under it is hung a ruff
fling Of white net.
The petticoat here is merely a double
flounced one, and may be Of crepe de
chine, messaline or lace, just as fancy
dictates.
Where warmer fabrics are preferred
albatross, nuns yelling and chailis are
about the best for room gowns, and can
be made very dainty with net or chiffon
frills and narrow landings of rabbit
swansdown or marabou for trimming.

Correspondence
NEW YORK, December -, 1919,
What do you think OF this Fourth Of
July skyrocket headdress? Startling.
don't you think? Possibly as it was de-
signed in Paris one would call IT 14th
OF July piece.
Whatever the name. it was the center
OF comment at the Cafe de Paris, in
Paris, where one sees all manner of won-
en- gayly attred Wonderful tales are
told OF what one has to pay the head
waiter there for a table in advance. and
this alone tells the story of the dressing.
Rest assured. the world of women does
not crowd a place merely to eat or to
watch the make danced.
Just what the ushers of theater would
do IL patron appeared with such a
sisht-destroying headdress on this side
OF the water. no one can answer. 1t Is
probable, however, that the wishes Of the
majority would rule. and that the lady
would take her skyrockets of, or her
self out. 1t may appear here any mo-
nent. however, so it Is well to be on the
outlook for II; not at the theater but
at one of the innumerable places where
any one with the money now eats and
dances
There is no argument against it at
such places of amusement 1t fits in with
the costumery of the evening.
Couture of Shooting Stars.
To begin at the beginning with this
headdresS, the hair is massed on the head
With our knot. puff or curls II is brought
low on the forehead and over the ears,
despite the repeated warnings that the
forehead must show now. Looking well
at the ears, you will see that there are
curls which hang over the ears after the
fashion of another era.
Over this couture goes first a filet of
black pearls. graded to a large one in
the middle Just above il is an immense
chou OF black tulie spangied with crys-
tails From II rise the tendrils of black
feathers. each with fiutter Of tuile and
rhiRestones at the end. These tendriis
are wired to keep their position
Just what influences are at work in
the world OF dress to bring about the
wearing of these amazing headdresses no
one knows 1t may be the strong leaning
toward all that comes out of the east,
but the objection is that few OF these
things represent eastern fashions Some
do. and these are very often the least
pretty OF all the offerings. The Persian
headdress is usually in the shape of a
cap made from pearls or other CRYSTALS or
beads This is surmounted by brush of
unusual dimensions made OF leather ten
drills or nues, and sometimes OF spun
glass The latter Is not new and has
never been popular. The main idea in all
Of them Is TO put some ornament on the
head that will stand up as high as ones
everyday life allows. The coiffure in
other words, follows the line OF the new
lat which is the natural law OF fashion.
The knot on top OF the head is growing
becoming to the average American face
However, we said the same when the
fattened couture came into STYLE and we
are apt TO exclaim in this fashion at
