Royant and the Middle Ages.

The house OF Royant, which has
worked it's way to the very front Of
American patronage this season, has
built up a mantle and muf of the bot
tie green velvet of the middle ages.
The whole surface is covered with an
ornate traeery of fine metallic braid
ing,' and the edges are finished with
what is known as flying sable.
The sketch shows this set by Royant
which is considered quite smart and
exclusive In New York. Neither the
muff nor the mantle Is supposed to
protect one from severe wtntry
weather. but they are admirable ad-
tuncts to mid-season frock that needs
a touch of warmth to bring it in tune
with the touch of cold in the air.

Your Funny Economies.

A woman who had taken furnished

| horhood for two months last winter.
| was one day found by friend wash
! ing out a washcloth and spreading 1t to
dry on the radiator. You see," she
explained, II only brought one with me.
But 1 have more home so I don't want
to buy another now, and I am going to
make this one do while I'm here" The
fact that the woman in question was
one of the biggest owners of real estate
in her home town and was paying $3.50
a month for two rooms, made her
economy-for good wash cloths can be
bought for cents apiece-seem a bit
laughable.
What is your funny economy? We
all have one, so yours is probably quite
as amusing as the one cited. Usually,
however, we don't quite realize our own
funny points, and perhaps you are
actually not conscious of the ridiculous
point in your effort not to be extrava-
CANT.
There was one young woman who
used to walk a mile and half home
from school to save car fare each AFTER
noon. At the corner confectionery shop
she stopped. invariably, for ten-cent
glass of soda water to refresh herself
for the walk.
A woman with millions Of dollars in
sists that her servants use wax tapers,
instead of matches. for lighting gas
stoves or wax candles A fresh match
struck each time a new burner of the
stove must be lighted is an extrava-

be lighted at the gas stove in the
kitchen and carried to the dining room
when candles on the dinner table are
to be lighted.

The measure affects all persons EN-
ployed in the railway mail service
the rural free delivery service, the
city postoftice clerks and other EN-
ployes in postoffices who are IN the
classified civil service, except post
masters, who have become incapaci
tated from performing their service
! through approximation.
| An annual pension of $500 is pro
vided for each man so retired, but the
bill only applies to employees VINO nave
reached the age of s. years and wht
have been in the service for a periot
of % wears or more.
Under the terms of the bill, the post
master general Is to establish a re

from superannuated employees who dc

- Excellent Work Done.

On Saturday morning, party of
Newspaper men made a trip in order
to inspect the section of the Great
White Way between OskaiOosa and

part of the county road system. In
the party were Supervisors Warren

I cred car an average of thirty miles an
hour was maintained both going and
returning over the 16 miles inside of
the county For seven miles beyond
Oskaloosa, Mr.. Caldwell is in charge
and the nine miles beyond is under
the Supervision of Mr.. Downey. Dur
ing the recent rainy season 1t has been
almost impossible to work the roads
properly on account of their muddy
condition, but since the clear weather
of the past few days, a most marked
degree of progress has been made.
An Adams Grader has been used to
a good advantage and a uniform grade
has been established, thus making a
roadway SO feet wide with space on
either side for bitches to carry of any
Isurface water. The roadway is uni
lformly crowned by an oval rise Of
about II inches in the center. For
quite a distance on both sides OF the
road, thing has been put in and good
land permanent work has been done.
To some extent the road shows thai
lit has been worked by the loose dirt
THAT lies on the surface, but this will
be hardened by travel and settled wea
Their will bring about an ideal con
dition At some points, instead of the
usual square turn, round corners haVi
been put in that makes the turn cas-!
and natural and again avoids the pos
sibility of accident. in the matter o
Iculyerts and bridges, these have beef
so built as to maintain a solid road
