LETTER
Special Correspondence to the Sank Centre Herald

New York, June 1, 1915
In days of old, when motoring bold
Meant freakish clothes and goggles
big as window lights,
Women looked perfect frights;
But now that sense reigns over fash
ion,
Milady fair of of the limousine
Wears clothes in the car that are fit
to be seen.
Thanks to the friendly jingle, we
have the whole of repertoire of mo-
toring, so far as clothes are concerned
before US. 1t does not mean, however,
that garments for this particular pur-
pose have lost one whit of distinction.
Today when every man and his neigh
Dor owns car, motoring apparel falls
into natural place, being fashioned,
like other sports clothes, first for
comfort and then for style, but never
to advertise the fact that father, hus-
band, or brother owns a roadster, a
.seven-passenger, or an electric.
What contrast the trim coats and
modish hats of the present times are
to the parphernalia we donned for the

set aside for sports. Perchance is is
because they fit the head so well that
the woman who motors, walks, OF
COLTS favors them.
Not alone the woman who loves
sports, but those, too, who find enjoy
ment in less strenuous pleasures follow
the call of the motor car; the motor
car to-day is necessity, not a luxury
Again, comfort an dstyle are first es-
sentials in clothes, giving the woman
who motors to make her calls, OF
merely for breath of the great out
doors, loose coats in the smart ehree-
quarter length and hats in approved
sailor and tricorne shapes.
There were some stunning models
worn at the races last week. One
woman, who motored out from town.
had black and white checked velour
coat that attracted considerable atten-
ion. This was belted high in the new
Empire style, had the latest three
quarter-length sleeve and the collar
and cuffs were faced with Hague blue
velour. There was also an inner COL
lar of organdy flaring over the revers.
The hat was soft leather, with black
and white checked, knitted band that
showed through the changeable veil
of blue and brown chiffon, hemstitch-
ed together.
Among the other weather-proof top
coats, notified English worsted in
heather mixtures predominated, and
there were a few two-toned whip
cords and olive coverts with suede
belts. The medium-sized sailor hat
was favorite with these coats; US
ually with the brim of black straw
and the crown of taffeta, satin, OF
silk beaver.
The number of pongee, shantung
Tusah silk coats was really surprising
for the early season. There is nc
doubt that these will be even more
popular as the summer advances. I'm
like the woolens, they are made full
length. Some have such touches as
carved ivory buttons, but there is nc
color to mar the shade of the natural
pongee. Even the hats are the same
material, in small soft shapes, trim
med with silk scarfs and tassels.

first ride in the little high-seated, red
car that pulled and groaned and died
on the first hill. The shiny coats,
first cousins to the macintosh, the
bulky bonnets, and especially cut
elastic shirred wells that were never
meant for anything more dignified
than the car. How different the mod
ern costume it! With smartly tailored
separate coat, trim hat and becoming
veil, a woman can motor, call or even
enjoy stroll on the beach, content
in the fact that she is inconspicuously
well-gowned.
The car demands only warmth and
comfort. Aside from these two fac
tors the clothing may meet any re-
.quirement of the daily life. The de-
voice Of the country club may have
one of the new loose three-quarter
coats with sailor collar and broad
sash. An English blazer flannel of
this type looks stunning on the golf
links, with a vanished raffia hat, or
one of the new felt shapes, embroider-
ed with wool to match the stripe. Wa
terfall silk is another material be-
longing to this season, which is find
ing favor in coats for sports and mo-
toring. The silky, ribbed velour fibre

ready hat; therefore, simultaneously

ter of the crown and wind around and
around to the outside of the brim,
which is faced with hemp. Such hats
are trimmed only with a pearl buckle
a bead ornament or a silk tassel; they
come In white, peach blossom pink on
pale blue to match the shade of the
waterfall silk. Then, for the motor
1st on sports bent, who fancies sweat
ers, there is new silk Jersey fabric,
compromise between a pure woven
SILK and knitted material. Here. |
too, light shades are featured. There |
is coat of delicate pink, like frozen
ice-cream, with collar and lower edge
trimmed with white fur, that looks
good enough to eat.
The idea of the fur is surely an odd
fancy for hot June. One model of
white has mink collar, and a pale
coat is edged with fox. Personally, I
feel that the stores are using these
merely to attract attention, never really
expecting to sell them. However, you
never can tell what will please the
heart OF the fair lady. Take for in
stance, the cretonne hats; who would
ever suppose that she would dream of
wearing furniture covering with her

The taffeta coat is another practic-
al mode for motoring. Here the loose
Norfolk and three-quarter length are
followed. The silk is usually dark
blue, or black, touched with mustard
at the collar and cuffs.
With the hat and coat, motoring ap-
parel practically ceases, for what is
worn under the coat is purely mat
ter of choice. The sportswoman dons
her trig linen or curduroy skirt and
mannish blouse, while the woman mo-
toring to see a friend ,wears a comfor-
table one-piece dress. Blue taffeta is
material which shows little dirt and
is well adapted to this purpose. There
is an excellent model shown in dark
blue Scotch plaid cut in the new pur-
itan style. The waist is plain, save
for the organdy collar and cuffs; the
wide belt has a white buckle and the
skirt has grouped inset pleats at the
side. Such costume could be worn
in the motor with a pongee, worstd,
or taffeta coat, and is suitable for cal
ling, shopping, or almost any after
noon affair milady might chance to at
tend.
One woman who motors a great
deal has adopted costume of this
type; by wearing a fine net over her
hair she is always presentable when
she leaves the car. The small sun
shade is another convenience. These
,ome in all colors and really save
,erson from tanning. If the motor
st remembers these little essentials,
md carries cold cream and powder in
Ter bag, there is no excuse in this day
nd age for being anything but fresh

engrossed by an expert and forward
ed to the family. Ordinarily the
price is about SIS per, and there are
cases where figure as low as $40 has
been secured. Here is what the
1915 legislature paid: Memorial to J.
d. ONeil, Walter Salinger, artist,
SOB; same artist resolutions on death
OF Representatives Sullivan and Thei-
len, $3.50; same artist, resolutions
on death of Mrs. C. G. Higbee, $11O.
There were other items for flowers
and kilograms covering the ravages
OF the grim reaper totaling about
$10O. For the investigation of the
deaf and dumb school at Faribault,
the management of which was at
tackled by A. F. Teigen of Chippewa
county, nearly $70O was spent. Two
interpreters received $40 a day each
and their expenses. This particular
investigation was a fizzle. One of
the unexplainable items this time was
nearly 5000 for postage. The post
master is charged with the most of it,
but If there were any receipts from
the sale of the same they are not re-
ported.
Continuing on this subject of sup
plies one could write columns about
two dozen cuspidors, $50; twelve
gross matches, $3.50; four dozen pen
holders, $1.50; one gross penholders,
So; twenty-five copies of the statutes,
most of them missing, $112.5O; six
boxes rubber bands, SO. and Highland
Spring water, $96. Practically every
thing, whether in bulk or broken lots,
was bought at retail prices and ex-
ira high prices at that. The legisla-
tive expense committee even approx
ed bill of $231.55 for supplies fur
nlshed the 1912 extra session by the
Dow company, part of which that
body rejected and part of which it
refused to pay the alleged exorbitant
figure asked. The minutes of that
session show the Dow company was
paid $251.61 for supplies furnished.
All the 1915 committe had in the
way of verification of the Dow claim
was the firms affidavit that the sup
plies had been furnished and had not
been paid for.
From all accounts when any COM
mittee or employee wanted supplies
they were purchased without question.
The committee, later, generally
through the chairman, approved the
bill submitted and it was paid. One
member of the legislative expense
committee said that he never was
present at more than two meetings
of the committee. One, he said, was
when he insisted that bids be secur-
ed for a large number of letterheads

and envelopes which another COM
mittee member wanted to turn over to
particular print shop in his home
town. Tons of printed matter was
wasted. When the session closed
capitol janitors netted a net sum on
the paper which the members and
employees carlessly junked. Costly
carbon and mimeograph paper was
wasted by the ream and other sup
plies were treated in like manner.
And all because it was easy to get
and there was no one to supervise.
Judge Johnson of Red Wing, it is
said, will again make a try for a
place on the supreme court, this time
against Justice Schaller, an appointee
OF Governor Hammond. Judge john
son made the race for the nomination
last year but was unsuccessful. While
Judge johnson may prove a formid-
able candidate he is pretty certain to
have a rather live rival in the per-
son of Attorney General Smith
Friends close to the latter say he has
his eye on the supreme bench and if
he does file the others will have to
go some to beat him. He headed the
ticket at the fall election.
Ben Kalmes, former treasurer of
Winona county, has been named as
sistant state hotel inspector. The
job pays $1,000 year.
State Oil Inspector Rush is having
his troubles these days. He let out
a Civil War veteran who was deputy
oil inspector at Glencoe and as the
law gives Civil war veterans rights
over others Mr.. Rush has been called
to explain his action in court.
Some one has found a flaw in the
county option law. 1t is claimed that
the law contains two provisions re-
lating to the time when liquor SELL
ing shall cease after being voted out.
One provision says six months and
the other has been construed as
meaning year.

could serve the people to better ad'
