Spring Fashion Letter.

With the full skirts now in fashion, il is
really necessary that coats should show full
ness at their lower edge
Short coats and those in hip lengths are
equally stylish and the short loose jackets
are delightfully."- charming.
Covert cloth is a popular material for the
spring tailored suits, which are more in
favor than ever before.
A dress absolutely without garniture or
trimming is considered in extremely good
taste at present, its only distinction may be
a series of tucks or folds on the wide skirt;
these tucks may be repeated ON the waist.
One of the prettiest of the spring fabrics
is marquisettes, now revived in fine and
more attractive quality 1t is shown with
embroidered or printed borders thus supply
ing its own trimming, and it lends itself so
well to the full shirred and gathered skirts
and waists.
The shops are showing lovely dresses of
alloyer embroidered materials, some with
sprigs and sprays in colors, Others in big de-
signs somewhat like pompadour effects In
taffetas and organizes these patterns are ex-
quisite.
A noticeable tendency in the spring styles
is the raised waistline, not only in dresses
and skirts, but also in jackets and coats. In
taffeta especially the high-wasted frocks are
pretty and quaint, made with low round
neck gathered guimp and short wide gath
cred skirt The guimp could be of soft bat
iste, crepe, net or point d'esprit.
Shirt waists are shown with severe coat
Blessings, even the collars have buttons and
button holes, but in many of the new models
the collars are convertible being fash
Toned 50 they may be worn high and close.
or rolled low over the neck.
Smart waists for dressy wear are developed
in chiffon. Brussels net, satin or crepe de
chine. and may be worn with skirts of satin,
broadcl0th or serge.
Some Of the new waists show chic waist
coat effects yoke facings and pretty chemi-
settle portions
Quaint little guimp dresses are shown for
young girls and the ever popular sailor
STYLES are revived with new features.
Folds on skirts are very popular, in grad
uated widths. Flounces are especially be-
coming TO youthful figures
A new and becoming neck outline is shown
cut straight across the base of the throat
and santing in narrow lines toward the back.
Cord shirring is seen on many OF the new
skirts. Surplice waists are made with shawl
shaped revers piped or edged with contrast
ing material.
One piece frocks are still in vogue, many
of these being made in the simplest fashion.
with smart pockets over the skirt and waist
fronts.

Guimp effects may be produced on almost
any gown by sewing in sleeves of contrast
ing material.
One notes on coat Tor children the smart
new bell shape, skiri flaring and shoulders

Smart guimp dresses for girls are cut low
and round on the waist portion, and but
toned over the shoulders They are worn
with lawn or batiste guimps. These dresses
are simple to make in one piece effects, and
equally popular when skirt and waist are
Joined under belt
Bolero effects and surplce styles are
smart for children.
Yokes are used on practically everything,
coats and dresses; MILDLY styles are still 'to
the fore"

WASHINGTON ROUTE
In GOOD CONDITION
National Capital and New York City
Now Linked by Excellent
Roads.

The National Capital and New York
City are at last linked together by a
good highway. The completion of the
short stretch OF road ibeween Principle
Furnace and North East, Md, makes 1t
possible for the first time, for motorists
to travel between the two cities over
a nearly perfect roadway This part of
the route would have been completed
last year but for a relocation which was
not contemplated when the contract was
first let. Another relocation was made
near Kingsville. which materially i'm
proves this route by the elimination OF
two hills.
Transcontinental tourists who intend to
use a Southern route one way will
find that a great deal of work has been
done during 1914 and much better condi-
tons prevail than is generally supposed
The Observation-Disclosures route
is completed. except for two miles of
road between Pohick and Lawton and
about eight miles in Prince William
County. While no county, State, or
Federal funds are available to complete
this road, the automobile clubs Of Vir-
ginia are raising money by private sub
scriptions and the road will be in good
condition before summer.
Until such time as the two links in
virginia are completed motorists prob
ably will use the Shenandoah Valley.
The Valley Pike between Winchester and
Staunton has been much improved during
l9l4 and Is now in better condition than
ever before. Connecting with this pike
the stone road through BerryyiIle. Hall
town. and Hagerstown is in splendid

LOST, A SAURIAN TOOTH,
100000 YEARS OLD
Finder Please Return to P. B. Wright,
Librarian, Kansas City-It's in
Sealskin Pocketbook.

Kansas City, Mo. Feb. 7-Purd B.
Wright, librarian of the public library,
has lost saurian tooth precious as an
antediluvian relic. 1t is estimated to
be 100000 years old. He lost a seal
skin pocketbOOk containing the tooth
and s. or s. in money, but he is chiefly
sorry for the loss of the tooth. He says
he needs the keys badly also which
were in the pocketboOk
The tooth is that of reptile whose
skeleton was discovered by a party of
biologists from the University Of Kan
sas while exCavating several years ago
in Trego County. Kan. The fossil is
classed with the ChelmOnian order of
giant reptiles. The saurian types are
found in the Triassic or recent forma-
ton usually, as was the case in Kan
sas, where the eXCavating was done in
a Triassic Stra atum.
The tooth, as Mr.. Wright describes it,
is about three-fOuTths of an inch long
shaped life a snakes fang, with a slight
curve and is sharply pointed. He had
intended to have ii set in a scarfpin, and
was on his way to a jewelry store.

41I2 MINUTES; WINS $1,000
Philadelphia Barber Victor in Unique
Contest with Razor and
Shears.

Philadelphia. Feb. THE hairiest
and most bewhiskered man in Philadel-
phia has been shorn of all his locks,
and as result Joseph Papaleo. propri-
etor of the Sanitary Shaving Parlor on
South Seventh street, is $,OOO richer
than he was. The mans hair was trim
med at the annual hair-cutting and shaw
ing contest of the Italian BARRIERS, held
in the Casino Theatcr.
Seven men who might have been taken
for the proverbial hairy men of Borneo
were gathered at the Inasmuch Mission
as subjects for as many BARRIERS in the
contest. For four and one-half minutes
fur flew on the stage, and the partici-
pants were almost hidden by flying locks
and whiskers. Then PapaleO emerged
the winner by several minutes. He had
shaved his subject and cut his hair,
without leaving a scratch from the razor
or shears, in the record time Of four and
a half minutes. No one disputed his
right to the s., 900 prize.
