ened by a wide belt which does not
set close to the figure. Through
slash at each side wide suspenders
come through the belt and are lost
under similar slashes at the back.
These slashes are buttonholed about
the edges to keep them from fraying.
There is very little fullness in the
wide yoke made with stripes running
round the figure, but plenty of it in
the lower part of the skirt which is
plated into the yoke. The plaits are
pressed fiat and the plaits almost con-
ceal the plain space between the

If you sigh for the slim silhouette,

all things. Let the plump girl con-
vince herself that she can achieve it
by picking out one of the new striped
cottons or silks and making a faithful
copy of this dress. She will realize
what startling illusions can be wrought
with stripes in the hands of an expert
designer.
The blouse is to be made of plain,
thin, wash silk or of georgette crepe
with the silk preferred if the dress is
to be of cotton goods. 1t has sailor
collar and jabot fiounces at the front,
full sleeves gathered into deep cuffs

BASIS FOR ROAD SELECTION
Pike Should Carry Traffic as cheapIy
as Possibe-Expensive High
way Often Cheapest.

When city or county or state de-
cides that 1t is time to build new
roads 1t is not the amount of money
in the treasury and the mileage that
should determine the type of road,
but the amount II will cost to move a
ton mile over the road.
That is the fundamental basis on
Which road construction planning must
be founded according to George G..
DiehI chairman of the good roads
board of the American Automobile as
ISOLATION. He points out that it is
the function of road to carry traffic
and that 1t should do so as cheaply
as possible.
''Cheaply" does not mean in the cost
of building and maintaining the road,
but the relation of the total expense
to the total vehicle tonnage carried,
which Is the road cost to carry a ton
mile, or the ton-mile cost.
SIN order to arrive at the ton-mile
cost" says Diehl, ut is essential, first,
to have the total cost of construction
and maintenance; next, to have the
amount of traffic tonnage. The first
cost must be the result Of properly
kept system OF records, and the total
cost of maintenance and construction

WORK AROUND HOME GROUND
New Responsibility Placed on Every
Farmer by Improvement of Rural
Roads and Highways.

The Improvement of rural highways
and the building of good roads lay a
new responsibility upon every farmer.
1t means that there will be greatly
increased amount Of traffic passing by
|ehis homestead it will bring him more
closely in touch with the outside
world, including citizens from the im-
mediate neighborhood, from the sur
rounding counties and indeed from
many parts of other states.
The farmer and his home life are
now brought more directly to the at
tention Of the general public. Under
these circumstances FL. f. Major of the
Missouri college of agriculture sug-
gests that he take more pride in the
development of his home grounds. "a
man is known by the company he
keeps" so the character Of a man is
judged by his home life and the at
mosphere with which he surrounds
himself.
The improvement of the grounds
does not necessarily imply spending
great sums or building an extensive
'Show Place" decorated with architec-
tural furnishings and formal gardens.
1t means treating the yard as an out
of-door living room as a part of the
house. 1t means, keeping it clean and
neat and comfortable and cheerful. 1t
should be decorated with fine trees,
beautiful Towering shrubs, and with
annual and perennial flowers that fill
the soul with gladness and make home
a lovable spot surrounded by endear-
ing associations,

difficulty of avoiding the commonplace,
because large proportion of the buy
ers of black hats are women of con-
sentative taste. But there is no direc-
ton in which successful effort in de.
signing meets with SO much profitable
appreciation.
Not all little black hats are con-
sentative in shape and trimming.
Shapes that are daring, or even a bit
rakish, are permitted in black, and
admired. So that there is a little
black hat for everyone, and everyone
wants one and should have one, If for
no other reason than appearing occa-
sionally in all-black. There is nothing
somber about black in millinery this
season, because of the brilliance of
braids and trimmings, nearly all little
black hats are of lisere-a braid with
highly polished surface-lacquere
ribbons, jet beads and otfer shiny or
naments add luster to the shApe.

must equal the total outlay made by
the highway department, as this is
the only method possible to avoid omis-
sion Of important items.
1.-THE amount of traffic must be OBJ
tanned by traffic census. This should
be divided between passenger and
commercial vehicles and also between
'In New York state, where every
five or six miles of improved highway
Is under the control of patrolman, it
would be comparatively easy to obtain
such traffic census, as the patrolman
could have certain day each month
to make a count Of these vehicles, at
comparatively no expense to the state.

tative shapes and trimmings. The CEN
ter hat Is the always sprightly and be-
coming tricorn, in which the popular
combination of silk and straw appears
to great advantage. Simplicity and
exquisite workmanship distinguish it.
Its only ornament is motif of en-

proportion that it is excellent. The
adroitness with which the designer
has used familiar modes to accom-
plish his results, proclaims the artist.
This is a simple dress, appropriate
to midsummer wear at any time of
day, and SO well suited to the plump
figure that we mus. believe it was
made with that end in view.
Just the most chic and reliable If
all hats is the little black hat that

are doing all they can to keep their
premises and surroundings neat and
clean. There are some who do not,
and seem to insist that it is nobody's
business how much rubbish and waste
material they leave around to the an
noyance and detriment Of others.
Thdse who are delinquent about
cleaning up, better get busy and save
the necessity and embarrassment Of
