small flowers; the brides bouquet is
bigger and more impressive than ever
which is quite in keeping with the
widened Silhouette of the wedding
gown. With such an expanse of satin,
lace and tule, Il little bouquet would
look economical and insignificant. The
very distinguished bouquet pictured is
made of white azaleas and maiden
hair fern, and single blossoms at
tached to white ribbons fall from the
bouquet in shower effect.
At one of New York's fashionable
weddings in late April this year, the
bride carried bouquet of white lilac
blossoms in which were mingled
orange blossoms. Clusters of orange
blossoms and maiden4hair fern de-
pended from the enormous central
bouquet ON steamers of tulle tied
into little bowknots midway between
bouquet and shower clusters. The
effect was cXquisteiy airy and beau

which the white satin was visible only
in a splendid court train; the entire
skirt being covered with hounces of

The road drag is the most eff
fective single tool yet invented for
maintaining a good road bed.
There is one principle that it
works out better than any other
tool and that is it lays down the
soil in thin layers and if it is wet
it puddles it, which means that
it will pack hard. This results in
forming a road bed that will take
in very little water when it rains
and it also makes one that will
not work up into dust. This
means that to secure the best re-
suits with the road drag it should
be used when the soil is wet. as
after rain, for instance, or in
the spring before the roads have
dried up. The road drag, if used
regularly, keeps the ruts filled up,
thus leaving no place for any wat
ter to stand.
The cost of using a road drag
for a season has been found to
vary from four to ten dollars,
which is a small cost for having
an almost perfect road bed.
Road making is more simple in
North Dakota than in states with
Ia heavier rainfall. If the roads are
kept slightly crowned when
smooth and we'll packed they can
be kept in nearly perfect condi-
ton throughout the year by using
the road drag often enough to
keep all ruts filled up.
