test of them show a combination OF
straw and taffeta. One especially
attractive medium-sized hat displayed
on the Avenue some time ago, was of
tete de Negro satin; the brim turned
up a trife on the left side and the
frame was covered smoothly save
for a cord effect around the outer
edge of the brim and at the top of
the crown. The only trimming was
a severely straight outstanding wing
made of the satin, edged with a cut
ruching of maline in the same shade
of brown as the hat. The effect OF
the hat was smart and tailored. An
other pretty small hat was made
half of straw braid and half OF
changeable taffeta, the taffeta being
draped over one side of the crown,
finishing in a high outstanding loop
on the side Imitation Goura in a
soft shade of gray was effective
trimming on another small hat. In
parasols there are many novelties as
always at the opening of the season:
Some Japanese effects are seen, and
some hand embroidered designs; a
particularly pretty fancy parasol was
of dark taffeta gathered and tasselled
at the points.

ROAD ELECTION IN

Much interest is being manifested
in the election to be held in this
election which is to be held in this
county on March 25th, which will de-
eide whether or not the country court
of the county shall evy a special tax
not exceeding one dollar on every
hundred dollars of taxable property

At the late term of the county
court, the work house tax in the
county was increased rs cents on the

The other tax leviesa made, put the
peoples taxes now to 1920 on the

that the proposition of a further in

ton from the voters.

AMERICANIZING THE NAVY

nouncing that nearly 95.5 per cent.

read today in the senate by request
of Senator Tillmal, who had forward,
ed the admiral a warning he had
received against permitting foreign,
ers to enlist in navy and merchant
marine. OF the remainder of the en-
listed men nearly all are Filipinos OF
from the country's other insular pos
sessions. "The navy has been Amer

under the arms and at the elbows
after only one or two wearings. This
was partially done away with when
cotton net was introduced for lining
these waists; this season we have
the net blouse itself, often lined with
net or chiffon-cloth. These waists
are delightfully."- sheer and they have
a wonderful wearing quality.
Often the net blouse is trimmed
with linen cluny, or another equal
ly pretty lace in rather heavy pat
tern. Then again collar and cuffs
are of a picot-edged Georgette in a
delicate tone of rose, yellow, or pale
pink. Novelty buttons in quaint ef-
fective cOlOrings are sometimes used
at the closing of collar, or down the
front, forming unusually attractive
trimming details.
The softly colored blouse of crepe
Georgette has by no means taken a
back seat because of the popularity
of the new net favorite; these are
being brought out if anything, in
prettier and more charmingly col
ored designs than ever before. Rose
pink is a fayorite shade; it combines
so well with the dark blues, browns
and other tailored suit colors.
HATS AND PARASOLS.
Small and medium sized hats as al
ways are the first outputs of oul
New York milliners, for the South
and early spring. Many of the pref

often the upper portion of the pleat-
ID or gathered skirt is of taffeta in
black or the same tone as the serge
Collars and cuffs of taffeta and tat
leta covered buttons are also used
with good effect.
STRIPES AND CHECKS.
In both the suitings and the soft
silks being fashioned into frocks
and suits for southern wear and
early spring, the popularity of stripes
and checks is quite as marked as it
was last season; the combination of
black and white and soft gray is also
noticeable. The soft wool suitings
in checks ranging from the very tiny
pattern to the aggressive checker
board designs are all good, relieved
with touch of vivid green, rose or
orange black taffeta and MORE are
also effective for trimming these suits
and tailored frocks. The striped silks
are usually combined with a plain
satin or silk, in a tone that harmon,
ICES with or is an effective contrast
TO the predominating color in the
striped material. Sheer fabrics,
crepe Georgettes, chitfon-cloths, silk
voiles, and the various other trans,
parent fabrics promise to be as good
for sleeves, collars and other trim
ming purposes as they have been for
the past few seasons.
NET BLOUSES PRACTICAL.

fingered, it is believed, because of the fancied assertion of Mrs. Blanche Bielor, upon whose complaint he was arrested charged with theft of $4OO, Krikos Bagdasarian twice attempted suicide by hanging in cell at police headquarters shortly after noon to- day. String, taken from 8. package brought in from 8 nearby restaurant was first used. Later he removed the faces from his shoes, tied them to- gether and then fashioned one end into moose. The other was securely tied to one of the bars in the cell. Neither proved effective. Police vigil lance prevented further attempts
 Following court adjournment, Bag dasarian appeared morose especially after Mrs. Bielor left from in front of his cell, and began to mutter and talk incoherently. His conduct attracted attention and House Officer A. c. Malone investigate He found the prisoner prone on the floor of the cell A part of the string was around his neck. The rest dangled from bar overhead. It had proved of insufficient strength to do any damage, excepting to cause slight decorations of a super ficial nature.
 Hardly had officer Malone left than Bagdasarian again got busy and was engaged making an improvised ! moose of the laces when Malone again 1 paid a visit to the cell. The laces
 were taken away. The suicide seeker 1 had been previously relieved of sus- | penders, necktie and other articles o1 1 clothing that might be used in an at | tempt at self destruction.
 Last night Mrs. Bielor called upon Chief Rawlings showed him the card of Worcester attorney and asked that charges against the accused be withdrawn. She said that he had paid back the money he is alleged to have stolen. She was informed that it is a question for the court to de- eide and reminded her of the several months that she has been a frequent visitor to police headquarters urging that the wanted man be located and arrested.
 The police regard hor concern in Bagdasarian as peculiar as this is the second time that he has been ar rested upon her complaint and the second time that she has tried to get him free. She is said to have been once located in New Britain as a clairvoyant.
