A novel pile fabric, of high luster
and great suppleness, appears in the
suit pictured here. 1t has made it pos
sible to vary the expression Of the
mode in velvet and fur and has there
fore merited and received much con.
sideration. The surface is broken by
stripes or blocks or other forms, made
by the direction of the pile and not
by color contrasts or by shades of
one color. The management of the
surface in this way produces very ele-
CANT effects, and the material is suit
ed to the handsomest of gowns and
wraps.
In the suit pictured the skirt has a
moderate fare with the direction of
the stripes cleverly managed to en-
phasize it. The front and back seams
are on a diagonal of the goods, and
there is little fullness about the waist
line. 1t is longer than the average
suit-skirt, and is finished with band
of fur.
The designer Of this model has at
tended to the management Of stripes
In the coat with the same care that
is evidenced in the skirt. In the body
and sleeves the stripes are vertical,
but in the flaring peplum they run
around the figure with slant toward

tne bottom of the skirt toward the
back.
The waist line is defined by mar
row belt of the material with overlap
ping tabs at the back fastened down
with small crochet buttons. The
sleeves are finished with a band and
tab, and the band edged with" fur
which extends over the hand and
opens at the outer side. The standing
collar of velvet, edged with fur, is as
wide as it is possible to wear it.
The manufacturers Of velvets and
other pile fabrics have been working
to the end of making them as light
in weight as it is possible to weave
them. After arriving at light weight
and suppleness they have created nov
elites by departing from plain sur
faces. These novelties eliminate the
need for trimmings or ornament to
very great degree. But their rich
ness is matched by that Of fur.
During the present season hand
some plaids have appeared in velvets,
presenting three colors sparingly used
on dark grounds, or two-toned checks.
These are made up with chiffon in the
bodices and very little ornament, the
fabric presenting variety enough with
out trimming.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Scarcely Secondary to Rail Transport

Tho two great necessities OF
modern life are education and trans

the wake of good schools and good

directions than the most far-seeing

on the country roads and byways;
they affect school attendance and lit

prices, values of land, the develop

the cost and pleasure of living, and

ure that under average conditions mac
adam roads can be built in southern
states at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
