Special Correspondence of The Star
NEW YORK, March 13.-You cannot
run away from capes this season You
may not like them. but ten to one you
will have one in your possession before
June.
The dressmakers have had such an
amazing success with capes that the
milliners have rushed in to share the
profits The French ones have rushed
over to this country a multiplicity of
attractive little wraps in the name of
capes that match the hats.
The strange part of it is that these
Victorian capes do not make the wear
er look demure. Probably the reason
10 that the women who buy these new
accessories belong to the dashing type
whom no attire could relegate to the
prunes and prisms stage.
The milliners insist that the capes
should match the hats; the dressmak-
ers hold to their first impression that
the capes should be attached to the
coat or frock. but the woman herself
has decided that she will adopt the
cape in any form that she likes. at

This is return of the early Victorian
style of dress. and the line of the
shoulders has a slope not seen in many
years. 1t is quaint and becoming.
Another marked feature of this frock
is the satin cord that stands out around
the overskirt, of diaphanous material.
This overSkrt is worn over a taffeta
skirt and the bodice is taffeta, to match.
There is a band of lace across the front

Velvet offers advantages for this kind
of suit, and other pile fabrics, in
GLIDING that shown in the picture,
are equally rich and more novel.
The suit is made with plain skirt
finished with hem five inches wide. A
material of this kind does not need
decoration, but since needlework is
the order of the day, an embroidered
motif is allowed in two places at each
side of the skirt at the hem Very
heavy silk is used for this work. The
skirt sets smoothly about the hips and
falls in folds below.
The coat is unusual in many ways.
Its skirt is sloped upward across the
front and right side, where it falls with
a slight ripple from the waistline. 1t

The body is plain, with easy adjust

large and finished with deep, expan-

generous proportions which swathes

not open straight down the center, but
the left side is curved to extend across

BRICK-PAvED ROADS DURABLE
Use of Blocks Is Becoming Common in
Many States-Afford Good
Foothold for Horses.

The selection of the kind of brick
TO be used is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the success or failure
of brick-paved highways, according to
a professional bulletin on "Brick
Roads," recently issued by the United
States department of agriculture. The
use of brick for paving country roads,
the publication declares, is becoming
common in many states.
The principal advantages which
brick roads possess, according to the
authors, may be stated briefly as fol-
lows: ID They are durable under
practically all traffic conditions; (2)
they afford easy traction and mod
erately good foothoId for horses; and
(3) they are easily maintained and
kept clean.
The principal disadvantage Is the
high first cost. The defects which fire.
quently result from lack of uniformity
in the quality of the brick or from
poor construction are usually to be
traced Indirectly to an effort to reduce
the first cost or to a popular feeling
that local materials should be used,
even when Of inferior quality.
The first brick pavement construct
ed in this country, it is stated, dates
back to 1872, and Charleston, w. Va,

dor of gold or silver cloth, yelled with
the sheerest fabrics or laces.
There is nothing prettier for the
short boudoir or breakfast coat than
either plain or printed crepe or soft
silk, with the limpest of silk lace
draped over it. Tassels or pendant or
naments made OF silver or gold cloth,
and ribbon, as always, are found in
company with these materials.
Two pretty caps are shown in the
picture given here. At the right an
open-meshed silk lace with crepe de
chine make the cap, and small chif-
fon roses add touches of color to it.
The lace is caught back at each side
of the face by them. Sgai: flower
like pendants on silver cord are made
of silver tissue, and they furnish and
weight the hanging ends of lace. This
cap is very easy to make, for the
lace and crepe are basted together and
given to the hemstitcher to be set to-
gether by machine stitching
The cap at the right is made OF
net-top lace, with the plain edge frilled
about the face and the escalloped edge
overlapping the plain edge of second
strip OF Lace. At the crown of the

at the right side There is no girdle
but rectangular piece of the fabric
takes the place of one at the back. 1t
is ornamented with three buttons at
each side.
1t will be noticed that the skirt ex-
tends below the shoetops, but lacks
much of reaching the instep. This
length is approved by style makers, but
many women cling to the shorter
skirts. and, since feet are so daintily
clad. there is every reason for allowing
them this privilege
The ingenuity of those who create
new caps and negligees and other dain-
ty belongings for womankind has been
put to it's annual test. Before the
holidays these luxuries that women
love blossom out at their best, and
they must be like and unlike those
that have helped make other holiday
times radiant. Whether they were ever

mined. 1t Is certain they were never

Laying vitrified Brick Pavement.

has the distinction of being the first
American city to employ this product
for paving. For a number of years
after it's Introduction, however, the use
of paving brick was confined princi-
pally to city streets, and owing to the
frequent inferiority in the quality Of
the brick and lack of care in con-
struction, very few of the early pave
ments proved satisfactory. Even now,
after the experience Of forty years
has demonstrated that it is entirely
practicable to construct satisfactory
brick pavenents when proper care is
exercised, and that much waste re-
or faulty construction, instances can
still be frequently found where COM
paratively new pavements have wholly
or partially failed from causes which
might easily have been prevented.
The purpose of the new bulletin,
which can be had free, as long as the
departments supply lasts, by road en-
gineers, supervisors and others con-
templating the construction of brick
roads, is to make clear certain impor-
tant essentials in the choosing of
brick for a pavement and in laying it
so that the highway will endure
1t is very poor economy, the engi-
neers point out, to use a locally manu-
featured brick unless this brick is of
high standard. Color, specific gray
ity, absorptive power, or even the
crushing strength, Of brick are not nee
essarily reliable tests. In general, CT
course, the brick should be uniform in
size, perfect in shape, free from rag
ging and deep kiln marks. Each brick
should be homogeneous in texture and
free from Objectionable seams. Fire
cracks should be limited in number
and extent, and the entire brick should
be vitrified and should contain neither
INFUSED nor CLASSY spots.

victims were working in that structure
This spread to another dstsnti0n house

Two hours after the four flares a
