MuNC|E STOPS USE
OF ASPHALT PAVING

Asphalt streets in Muncie are being
replaced with brick as rapidly as pos
sible. No street has been improved
with asphalt for five or six years. the
city officials realizing that this paving
material would not stand the strain
of traffic, and formed source of ever
increasing cost for repairs.
For several years asphalt was used
The life of the paving was short, the
streets were hard to keep clean and
repairs were continually in demand
For this reason the asphalt streets
were replaced with brick. Muncie now
has only a few blocks paved with as
phalt. AS soon as these reach the
stage where further repairs are in
advisable brick will be laid.

a curious crowd of neighbors invade

lowing a veiled woman who proves to be

Her daughter is engaged to the Judge s
son, from whom he Is estranged, but the
murder is between the lovers. She plans
to clear her husbands memory and asks

the newspaper clippings telling the story
of the murder of ,Aigernon Etheridge by
John Scoville in Dark Hollow. twelve
years before. The judge and Mrs. SEQ
Vile meet at Spencer's Folly and she
shows him how, on the day of the MUIR

days?"

with the abstraction of one who rec

with what humor this would have
struck her once. IL ask because,

His attention was caught and by the
very phrase she desired.
Nothing on your mind but house
keeping?" he repeated. 81 thought
you had something else of very par
ticular nature with which to occupy
yourself"
Il had; but have been advised
against pursuing it. The folly was

The words came short and sharp
just as they must have come in those
old days when he confronted his an
tagonists at the bar.

becoming lines are exemplified in
- this new spring gown of taffeta,
which is simple enough for the home
dressmaker to undertake and pretty
enough for the most fastidious of
women to enjoy. Taffeta lends itself
to the new, wide skirts, the horizontal
tucks and other quaint features in
the new gowns, borrowed from a
period more than half century be-
hind us. The days of the crinoline
are recalled by the utterly feminine
and fascinating occurrences of this
modest gown.
The wide tucks running around the
skirt with a fullness of three to four
yards in the width, combine to make
the flare that is to be achieved in this
particular style. The fullness is dis
posed of at the top partly by cutting
and partly by shirring or plaits into
which the material is laid. Many of
the new spring skirts, cut with the re-
quirements of the plump figure in
mind, fit smoothly about the hips and
are widened gradually toward the bot
tom, where they ripple at the hem
Another feature Of spring styles is
the revival of the suspender dress.

Materials for Coats.

The heavy coatings that bid fair to
hold prominent place this spring are,
of course, higher in price, but then
they are not so expensive after all, for
they are very wide, and only small
number Of yards is necessary to COM
plete garment. The rich oriental
colors still hold their own in these
materials, and for outing wear they
are lovely. Even the conservative
dresser does not hesitate to don one
of these lovely colorful top coats when
spending time at southern resort
or in the country. Dress stuffs are
only trifle less colorful, and at first
one might get the impression that
white had been excluded In the dress
goods plan This is by no means SO,
and almost any weave that is found in
color is also to be had in plain white.
There is this to be said, however, that
almost every white gown, unless one
is in mourning, has liberal touch of
color introduced in the way of trim.

The next morning found Deborah
pale-almost as pale as Reuther.
Knowing its cause herself, she did not
invite the judges inquiries; and anoth-
er day passed. With the following
morning she felt strong enough to
open the conversation which had now
become necessary for her peace of
mind
She waited till the moment when,
her work all done, she was about to
leave his presence. Pausing till she
caught his eye. which seemed a little
loath, she thought, to look her way,
she observed, with perhaps unneces-
sary distinctness:
