sash can be worn with the bow or rosette at the back.
 The design showing roses of the rib bon as finish in the ends at the back, has fringed ends that are very new and pretty. The ends are raveled out to the depth of eight or ten inches. The ends are slipped through small silk-covered rings, making tassel at the end with about three inches of the raveled silk above the rings.
 The sash with long ends, of super posed points and double standing loops, takes an extravagant amount of ribbon and is prettier with two in- stead of four hanging ends.
 Besides adding the bright luster of silk to the costume the ribbon ends, finished as pictured in these sashes. provide weight for light gowns. Mar rover ribbons have been effectively used for weighting the fragile fabrics Of which light summer gowns are made.

BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROAD
Among Many Other Things 1t Attracts Investors Looking for Advan-
 tageous Locations.

A long stretch of improved road Is enc of the best advertisements state can have. It attracts class of tour. tsts who are able and willing to pay for entertainment. It brings investorr who are looking for advantageous To- cations. It includes agricultural inves- tigation and consequent immigration And investment, not only along the line of the road, but in other accessible sections. It changes, by the sheer force of publicity, backward localities into progressive ones; enhances val ues, and brings into general notice re- sources which had only been known locally; or, if known, not appreciated.
 The advantages which such stretches of main roads cause to accrue are ad- vantages which affect the entire state, as well as the localities themselves It should, therefore, be assumed as a principle that such main roads should be built, in whole or in part, by the state; that their management and maintenance should be in the hands of the state authorities.

 The committee in charge contem- plates making this the most spectacu- lar automobile parade ever held in the West and to this end have gone outside of Denver for entries. To in. terest outsiders to decorate and entea their machines a special sweepstake prize of $2OO will be given the winner from among the nonresident entrants.

While it is true that various factors contribute to increase or decrease the attendance at schools in given sections of the country, it is worthy of com ment that in the states having high percentage of improved roads much larger percentage of the students en- rolled regularly attend the schools than in the states having small per centage of improved roads. In five eastern and western states, which have large mileage of improved roads, the average attendance of en- rolled pupils in 190S-9 was 80 per cent, while in four southern states and one northwestern state, which are noted for bad roads, the average attendance for the same year was GA per cent 80 per cent in the good roads states as against GA per cent in the bad roads states.

THREE very unusual and beautiful sashes, made of rhessaline ribbon. are pictured here. Considering the prominence of girdles and sashes and the great amount of attention given to the management of the waistline these will interest every woman who knows how much accessories add to the toilette. Quite plain white dress of simple design, and even of or dinary material, Is lifted into the sphere of elegance by the pretty rib bon garnitures designed by those who manipulate ribbons.
 From five to eight or ten yards of ribbon are needed for any one of the sashes shown. in the group pictured here.
 In the first figure a new rosette is made by grouping seven short-looped bows together. The girdle about the waistline is plain and slightly crushed The group of loops Is finished with a long loop and two pointed ends. This

 improved, while in the latter group of states there are only 11k per cent of the roads improved.
 That improved roads would benefit our country school system there would seem to be no doubt. Improved roads make it possible to consolidate or cen tralize the schools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will ac- commodate all of the children within radius of from four to five miles. In many communities having the advan- tage of improved roads commodious buildings have been provided. more competent teachers have been em- ployed, and modern facilities for teach ing have been supplied at minimum cost. For instance, since the improve ment of the main highways in Durham county, North Carolina, the number of school houses has been reduced from 65 to AZ. of which IT are graded and have two or more rooms and employ two or more teachers.
 There are at the present time about  schools in the United States. It ap- pears that Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made the greatest prog ress along these lines, and 1t is rather significant to note that in these states about one-third of the roads have been improved. According to statistics of the agricultural department therc was expended in 1899, $22, ,116 in MaSsachu- setts for the conveyance of pupils to consolidated schools, but in 1908 the expenditure for this purpose amounted to $292,213. In Indiana the expendi- ture for this purpose in 1904 amounted to $S6,O0O, while in 1908, $290,000 was expended. This expenditure for trans portation reflects, in general way, the extent and progress of this new educational movement It must not be understood that this is an additional burden, as the expenditure thus made is saved in other directions.

The chin-strap Is a bit of frivolity one should try out before wearing. For some faces it is quite impossible, and for others is is charm. Both f: and the velvet bridle under the haii are shown in the picture. The latter is featured on hats designed for young wearers.
 There Is any number of shapes in which these lace and net hats are de- veloped. The fabric is shirred to a frame of fine wire and they require the careful work and experience of a professional milliner. Such hats are pretty with afternoon costumes in any color or white, and if one is to have but one hat for dress, no other style is more commendable.

Damask cloths in pale colors with napkins to correspond are ;Igain com ing into vogue for the luncheon table, and while colored linen is impossible for the dinner table, it is very attrac- tive for less formal occasions and pretty sets in pale yellow, green, blue or pink are appearing in the dover chests of brides-to-be.

IT HE f1owery and diaphanous hats | pictured here have counterparts in equally foweU but more substan- tial headwear in Leghorn and hemp, and in similar airy creations of hair braid and Tuscan lace braid Then, for the warmest weather, there are pure white hats, net and chiffon or lace. In the same coterie are some lin gerie hats. But hats of black maine or lace and Leghorn appear to make the strongest appeal as the midsummer's loveliest creations.
 These fragile-looking, but really quite durable pieces of millinery, are made of the flmiest of materials, ma line net, which has been waterproofed, and thereby has conquered it's old en- emy, the moisture in the air. Even rain does not cause it to wither and shrivel, as in days of old It is to be hoped that flowers which do not collapse when the dews of evening fall or the sea breathes on them will bloom in millinery gardens before an- other spring rolls round Many of them now are dyed to withstand the sun, and sold as 'fadeless."
 The hats shown here of maline and | lace, and those similar to them o1 | hair or Tuscan braid, have the pc culiarity of suiting themselves tc either young or older women. But they appear to best advantage on the ma tron When youth assumes the dig nity of black dress hat, big, pic turesque shapes provide an ele
