Jackson Street Improved.

Jackson street has been greatly in- proved by the recent work put upon it by the street department, and it $ regrettable that more money is not available to put it in shape all the way. The street has been graveied from the city line to the top of the hill near the Park spring. some 400 loads of gravel having been used. For the balance of the way all that the department can do is to patch up the holes for the present. The next places to be tackled are West Main and Pleasant streets.

CHANGE IN SHOULDER LINE
Present Mode for Gowns Is Marked
Departure From Styles of
Previous Seasons.

Once on time a gown whose shoul-
der seam extended beyond the actual
line of the shoulder would have been
returned to the dressmaker as care
less fit. At present, however, the
shoulder line that is one-half or three
quarters way down to the elbow is
the only fashionable kind. This gives
narrowed appearance to the top of
the waist, which is so much sought
after just now
The whole silhouette is straight and
narrow. The lines which the cor
setieres aim for are straight and un-
broken from shoulder line to hip, end
ing with a swirled-in appearance
around the ankles. Gowns for after
noon and evening wear that follow
these lines have strange little tails
attached in the form of trains, which
are quite as likely to come from the
front or side as from the back.

HIGH GIRDLE EASY TO MAKE
Directions for Its Construction, and
the Proper Way in Which 1t
Should Be Worn.

One of the very new high girdles is
pretty and easy to make besides, says
the Philadelphia North American. The
girdle can be in two colors, as those
ultra-smart ones are, or of one color
only, If you would be more conserva-
tive The width of the girdle, too,
depends upon your own taste. 1t is
to be crushed girdle, and we will
presume that 1t is to be made of
dull silk, messalines and such shiny
surfaces being rather back numbers"
just at present. Cut two bias strips
of silk, each sufficiently long to go
entirely about the waist, both of one
color, or each contrasting color to
the other. Seam the two pieces of silk
together. making one long strip, and
hem down the raw edges. If wide rib
bon Is used, there will, of course, be
no necessity for turning in the selv-
age edges. Then gather in each mar
row end with drawing thread, and
join these ends to braid frogs to which
are attached loops. Then put two
large buttons, braided or silk-covered,
in the exact center Of the girdle, one
under the other, about two inches
apart. The girdle is now ready to
wear. Place the center of the girdle
at the center front Of the waist, wrap
both ends about the waist, crossing
them in the back, and bring the ends
to the front, there to fasten the loops
to the two buttons. A more graceful
kind of girdle you wouldn't want. The
girdle may also be made in velvet and
fancy or velvet-covered buttons used
Either braid or frogs and loops made
from the velvet may be used.
