nUR new styles are bewildering in
" variety and draw their inspiration
from many periods of time. But the
early and mid-Victorian eras- have
made themselves most strongly felt
even in competition with those beau
tiful adaptations of the Greek draper
les which are incomparably graceful.
In fact nothing really new has be-
come established so far this season,
and we are masquerading in costumes
some of which would make our grand
mothers and our great grandmothers
feel very much at home if they could
revisit their earthly abodes.
Many of the new wraps and gowns
make no claim to being graceful
They depend for charm on the beauty
of fabrics and their suggestion of the
femininity of days gone by.
The taffeta wrap shown here, made
by Georgette, the wonderful of Paris,
is something like an old-fashioned

taunts it's charms in all sorts of beau
uful designs.
Hats In this shape, with moderately
large and high crowns, and brims mar
row and almost straight. are to be
seen in every color and variety of ma
terial, and trimmed In all the trim
mings known to millinery. This is
the new sailor shape, and one of those
lucky ventures Of the hat manufac-
turers that take the feminine world by
storm.
Ribbons with small flowers or rib
bons with fancy feathers and orna-
ments, prove to be the choice of the
majority for trimming the sailor
shape. 1t is simple matter, too. to
place the trimming successfully, and
this hat has been a ready seller to
those thrifty women who undertake
to make their own simpler millinery.
This accomplishment, by the way, is
quite the fashion, and is not confined
to those women who wish to trim
their hats for the sake Of economy
alone. 1t is something Of a fad with
people who do not need to think OF
| economizing, but who enjoy making
up beautiful things OF any kind. This
amateur millinery does not hurt the

dolman. Gcorgette's genius has man
aged to make it fairly shapely, and al
together it is about the most attrac-
tive Of the many taffeta wraps to
which we will have to become accus-
toned.
1t is cut in the voluminous style
which the mode demands and trimmed
with narrow knife-plaitings of taffeta
and an applied design of covered cord.
A soft cable cord is used for max
ing it, and the taffeta is cut in narrow
bias strips and sewed over the cord.
One thing is demonstrated by styles
like that shown here, and that Is that
women stick to the utterly feminine
in the construction Of their apparel
no matter what excursions they may
make into the worlds of business and
politics. Therefore we shall see
them trooping to the polls to vote in
the most impractical and unbusiness-
like of clothes. 1t Is the eternal fem
inine again.

There is no loss to her in selling q
hat and it's trimmings separately, and
she takes no chances on the finished
effort being pleasing to It's owner.
Besides, the amateur soon learns that
1t is only the simpler things that she
can attempt with success. The sailor
shown at the top of the picture, and
worn with lace veil is smart af-
fair, which may be trimmed as we'll
at home as in shop.
The remaining two hats are quite
without the province of the home mil
liner. One is a plateau of straw which
must be wired TO shape and mounted
on a bandeau or cap to give the prop
er poise. 1t is trimmed with wide blue
ribbon and full wreath of heather.
A charming black hat is shown In
the third picture. 1t suggests the
Rembrandt hats which have been so
popular. The small. fiat shape of black
hemp is bordered with lace made of
horsehair and wired with tiny, almost
invisible wires. There is a broad
spray of wheat at the left side of the
low crown and a sash of moire
.ibbon tied in full bow.
The wide bandeau is trimmed with
a cluster of six pink roses.
1t would be hard to find three hats
that, in shape and poise and trim
ming, set forth the best of the new
millinery modes more clearly thar
those pictured here.

About time to revive the slogan
the split log drag. The split log drag

year. A fine new year resolution for
all who use the public roads would
be: Resolved, That 1 will use the split
log drag once a week, at least, dur

It is a good resolution. The slogan
should never need reviving. 1t should
never go to sleep or become drowsy.
We need. not only the slogan but the
actual work on the roads. 1t is so
simple-the split log drag-does such
good work, at so small cost, the
wonder is the people do not use it
more extensively. 1t may be its sim
plicity and its cheapness are against
it. Some times people do not value
thing as much good unless it costs
a lot. Suppose you try the split log
drag on the road by your home. Get
the neighbors to join with you and be
a friend to man by dragging the road.
