to anything else. Laws for better
roads, proper enforcement of prohibit

Government Money.


II Kanawha and Cabell conn-
ties join hands and act promptly
it will be possible to improve the road
between the two cities, assisted by the
United States government. The two
cities have already given the matter
some consideration, and the matter
has been placed before the governor.
Discussing the matter Gov Glass

of the law, the federal government
would set aside $4,000 additional from

ever, were not in a position to fully
comply with the conditions of the ap-

themselves in a position to receive this
money are persons interested in the

SHORT ON BR0THERLY LOVE
Remember That Henry

William was not kind to his small
brother Henry: in fact, he looked upon
him as nuisance, a scourge sent from
heaven to try his spirit and spoil his

a thorn in the older boys flesh In
his efforts to rid himself of his burden.
William resorted to all the methods
the mSnd of youth suggested, but in
vain. Henry continued to stick al
close, if not closer, than brother
William, finally said the boys
father, who had witnessed, unheard,
the final paroxysm of the unequal
struggle, you should be ashamed Of
yourself to treat your little. brother in
that way! He ought to be sacred to
you"
William made no reply; but short
ly afterward. believing himself to be
free of surveillance, he was heard to
address Henry thus. Always taggin'

FLOWERS FOR THE coRsAGE !
just Now the Somber Tones Are
Most Favored by Those Who
Lead the Seasons Fashions.

If you'd be quite in the mode this
winter you'll have an assortment of
the new big velvet flowers that, I'm
like the real live ones, can be steam
ed fresh when they seem to wilt.
The vogue for somber tones makes
carefully chosen corsage bouquet a
touch of particular Importance. To
be in good taste, the blossom must
always be in season.
Just now it's correct to wear a
couple of tawny velvet chrysanthe-
NUNS, or bouquet of mountain ash
berries. Soon violets will form the
corsage bouquet, scented so naturally
that one who isn't very sharp will
take them for the really-truly kind
The idea of matching the flowers
used to catch the stole with those in
troduced on the hat is also used, but
in this case the corsage bouquet
frankly declares itself artificial A
water lily in black velvet, with white
satin lining and a CLEAN of gold in
the heart of the blossom, is one OF
the favofite devices in this connec-

flower is well to the fore, being used
to catch up the soft glistening folds
of the satin or velvet robe, while it
usually masquerades in metal tissue
trimmed with diamonds, as though a
shower of dewdrops had been shaken
lightly over the flowers.
A clump of two or three full blown
water lilies, with shower of close
shut pendant buds dropping from
them, makes lovely decoration for
an evening toilet which relies more or
less for its effects upon it's lines.
