Skating costumes are exceptionally attractive this year and the caps are really fascinating. Here are three and two of them include scarfs that can be wound around the neck, and since the neck must be ,nufled to be smart, they are of especial value. All three caps are simple and easy to make, consequently the pattern IS very desirable one. There are many ma. terials that would be useful in the making, but in the picture, the scarf at the ex- treme left is made of duvetyn with bands of fur, the cap in the center is made of velvet with fur band while the third cap is made of broadcloth with skunk. They are all good, they are all in style; and there are many other materials thatS also could be used. Velvet is pretty for| any style and broadcloth, duvetyn and wool velours also are charming. The caps are all so simple that any woman who can sew can make them.
 For either size will be needed, 15s yds. of material of any width for No. I, 5s yd. for No. ?, Iss yds. for No. 5, with s4 yd. 27 in. wide for the lining for No. I.

Grenada the cleanest and best kept city

US that our city has, in the past, been

stances should we fall below the stand
ard heretofore established by US. The
cleanup movement is one which should
receive the encouragement and cooper
alton of all our people. A clean town
is, necessarily, healthy one and indi-

and civic loyalty. 1t is heartily de-
sired that each person in Grenada will
consider himself and herself as a COM
mittee for the purpose of making and
keeping the city clean and neat in all
respects.
There should be general cleanup
of all premises. and all trash, garbage
etc. should be either entirely destroyed
or placed in piles, so as to be removed
by the garbage wagons when telephon
