is Models for Winter Wear Call for Word of Warning
Ideal Sets of Furs--Velvet in First Place
Among Dress Materials

Needless to say such a mantle must
necessarily be expensive. but ! have
chosen this model because the design is
graceful and the garment would look
attractive il lined with something very
much less expensive than ermine. for
instance with dark gray squirrel or
with brocaded satin. The design would

of deep blue satin embroidered at ir-
regular points in Japanese style. Or
Il would look we'll In smoke gray

mauve and gray.
One Of the leading tailors OF Paris is
showing some attractive short capes
recalling the shoulder cape which used
10 be called golf cloak. They are ex-
tremely smart and 10 the average
woman they are becoming.
These capes are Immensely wide at
the hem. Some Of the latest models are
bordered all round vita skunk and are
finished off with a short boa of the
same fur They look best when worn
over a costume Of material similar to
the cloak, navy blue serge, for exam
pie, with bands Of skunk or fox on the
cape ana handsome bfalhlHS on lhe
corsage of the dress.
An effective II rather remarkable
costume is formed by a combination of
the one piece gown with very wide hem
and the short cape, which ia equally
wide at the border In, this way n sort
of double flare Is attained, and the re-
suit is excellent when the wearer OF the
costume Is tall and graceful.
Velvet takes first place when popular
winter materials are under discussion,
and after velvet we must place the new
make Of faced cloth which is exceed
lngly warm hut at the same time sup
pie az cashmere. Redfern Is hardly
using any veleurs de- laine this winter,
but some Of the other well known Paris
tailors are showing important models
made Of this popular material.
On the whole 1t may be said that
faced cloth now occupies the place that
velours de laine held last winter. Serge
is. Of course, always popular. At the
present moment the most popular serge
Is that which shows thick diagonal
cross stripe. For morning suits very
soft make of serge Is used by Redfern
and Green, These suits are quite plain,
but they are finished off with beautiful
and original buttons.

In Paris and London elaborate eve
ming gowns are. at the moment. nom
existent No one on this side Of the
water is giving large entertainments
and 1t would not be considered In good
taste to dress deliberately in the evening.
But very many small parties are being
given, meetings of intimate friends. at
which war work Is freely discussed.
For these entertainments very charm

the leading Paris dressmakers.
For example. there are the one piece
gowns which Cabot has made so pop

which were introduced with success
during the summer season. These
wing draperies may be made OF fine
lace, or Of chiffon embroidered lightly
with beads and silver threads. They
give sort of fairy queen effect and
Tor young girls are erninently suitable.
The arrival in Europe OF the Indian
troops has revived the popularity of
Indian embroideries and silken ma
terials. The present Queen Of England
has superb collection OF Indian en-
broideries on gauze. silk and muslin
Some Of these are worked entirely in
fine gold and silver threads; others are
worked in gold thread with beetlewings
introduced In certain parts Of the de-
sign. The ultra chic Parisiennes have
always admired this kind Of en-
broidery and 1t is predicted that it will
be an absolute rage when the war Is
over.
In the meantime l have seen some
lovely little frocks for young girls made
OF India muslin lightly traced over
with pale gold threads. These dresses
are charming when accompanied by a
black velvet ribbon sash. with cluster
Of roses or vioiets thrust into the waist

created for her by a lace maker who
admired her radiant beauty. The
ground was cobweb tulle and tiny
butterfly with iridescent wings was
worked on it In such a position that 1t
seemed to have alighted on the wearer's
left cheek The little creature was
worked in iridescent beads so small that
one could hardly see them without a
magnifying glass. This veil is made to
order at a price which to ordinary
minds seems outrageous.
The small tour de cou is again very
fashionable. For some seasons past NE
have not had these admirable little
items OF feminine toilet In their place
we have had large and important look
ing stoles and boas. Now. however, the
smart little tour de cou Is again in
high favor.
1t is made in many different ways
and of very many different materials.

encircles the neck and forms a founda-

the face and are particularly becoming
to any one who is possessed Of double
chin. The rose is placed at one side
of the ermine band and the correct
thing is to have toque, and If possible

we are always glad to receive and for
ward to the force having that particu-
lar work in charge Valuable time
could be saved by the persons seeking
information if they understood the
character of work done by the differ
ent forces for agricultural develop
ment and improvement.
The work of the Department of Agri-
culture is primarily executive or regu.
latory, enforcing the agricultural laws
enacted for the protection of the agr;-
cultural interests of the state. In
formation on such subjects should be
requested Of this Department.
The work of the Experiment Stations
is original research work in soils,
crops, fertilizers, live stock, dairying,
fruits and vegetables; developing
facts, solving problems confronting the
farmers that they are not equipped to
solve for themselves. Information con-
corning such matters should be re-
quested of the Experiment Stations.
The College of Agriculture is intend
ed to teach the science of agriculture,
not only to the students attending the
College, but to direct the short course
work with the present-day farmers.
The College of Agriculture is the
source from which we are to expect
to secure our scientific knowledge Of
agriculture. Also we expect our coun-
ty demonstrators, corn club organizers
from men trained in the College Of
Agriculture.
While each force has its particular
line of work, there is and should be
close cooperation of effort, that the
work of all the forces be most effec-
tive.
Tennessee has as Dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture and Director Of the
Experiment Station in Professor H. A.
Morgan one of the very best equipped
men in the United States. While his
technical training is superior, he has
the added qualifications of the prac-
teal application of scientific facts in
general farm practice; qualification
not often found. He should have more
idLlCuuC III lib ShOIJS III Inc SJdI6
along education lines. If he had he
would make the agricultural depart
ment of the State University the most
popular, as 1t should be.
The Tennessee farmer is fortunate
in having so much information availa.
BILE If he will only take the trouble to
make his wants known to the proper
officials, who are always ready and
willing to serve him.

through the primeval wilderness from
Fort Cumberland to Turtle creek and
the difficulty of bringing up an ade-
quate support than from attacks upon
1t by the French forces and their In
dian allies. And when after Braddock's
tragic death, in the course of his disas-
trous retreat, the command devolved
upon George Washington, that young
Virginian officer was forced by the
slow progress made over the rough,
newly cut roads to pitch camp at Fort
Necessity, in southwestern Pennsylva-
mia, the scene Of his first and only sur
render
1t was undoubtedly this bitter ex-
perience that gave Washington an in
sight into the need Of the new country
for improved roads, a subject which he
discussed with vigor soon afteTward in
correspondence with General Forbes
who succeeded in taking Fort Du-
quesne only after cutting a shorter
way from Carlisle through Bedford and
across the Allegheny mountains.
One Of the greatest factors in the
national campaign for better roads is
the voluntary work being done, espe-
cially in the far west, Robert Bruce
writes in Leslies. OF course the great
est single example of this Ia the pros
pective Lincoln highway from New
York to San Francisco, which the au-
tomobile and allied industries have un-
dertaken to build and toward which
over five million dollars have already
been subscribed. In the territory west
OF the Mississippi river, which has no
such sources of revenue to draw upon
as the Eastern states, this voluntary
effort shows itself IN an increasing
number OF good roads" days, when
thousands OF able bodied men, fire.
Quently headed by the governors Of
states, turn out and contribute the la
Dor that is Just as necessary as cash.
Sometimes It accomplishes more be-
cause voluntary work is uniformly en-
thusiastic and contagious.
A fine example of this voluntary eff
fort is the building of a $4,000 sea
level causeway along the Pacific coast
between Ventura and Santa Barbara,
Cal. shortening the Los Angeles-San
Francisco route about eight miles and
saving many steep, dangerous turns
over the mountains through the Cast
tas passes. The funds for this work
were raised principally through the
Automobile club OF southern Califor-
MIA and the causeway was constructed
for use by motorists pending the COM
pletion of a permanent sea level route
by the state.
