On account Of the scarcity Of labor
and money, our roads have been
somewhat neglected this year, and
are not in as good condition to stand
next winters traffic as usual. Il we
can pet them dragged after every rain
during this summer and fall, it will
mean very much better roads next
winter. but the lack Of time and the
Discrimination Of our people to en-
gage in this work renders this very
doubtful. Our commissioners are hav-

In style there's the oxford of first impOrtance-the oxford with low, mannish heel or with modified Cuban for walking and service wear. It has q smart, long, though not exaggerated, vamp with partially pointed toe and punching that accents It's smartness and outlines q wing tip. Then the OK ford jumps from the fOrservice style to the for-dress- occasion type, and many and varied are It's materials.
 All patent coltskin Is the most modish with high Louis XIV heel, though It consents to modified one for the woman who cannot attain the highest. Smart punch work. tipping" and otherwise decorating 1t, make this oxford a thing to be desired; and con- slider this. it's one of the few kids that can accompany most costumes.
 "The pump, and who ever thought such a time would come, Is not to be considered" says a prominent shoe style authority.

TO MAKE RIBBON SWEATERS
From Nine Hundred to One Thousand Yards of Material Required for
 Sleeveless Garment

It would seem as though there was any amount of knitting being done for personal adornment besides that which the women are doing for the soldiers. It Is hard to understand, writes a fashion correspondent. judging from the amount of work that the women are turning out for patriotic purposes, where they find the time to work for themselves, but there are, neverthe- less all kinds of new designs and stitches being talked about that have no place h. the knitting outfits of the soldiers kits.
 You have doubtless seen or heard of the sweaters made of narrow ribbon and If, perChance. you have not seen them you may be interested in know ing that while the ribbon Is narrow and of the width usually referred to as baby ribbon the texture of the rib bon does not in the least resemble the satin baby ribbon, but Is of loose weave and crinkled in appear ance.
 have been told by those who make
 
 900 to 1000 yards to make one of the sleeveless ribbon sweaters; thus one must draw the conclusion that these are not inexpensive affairs. Any way, they are lovely to look at and many of us will have to be broadmind- ed enough to be content with looking.
 IL is very seldom that one sees one of these ribbon sweaters that Is made entirely of the plain knitting stitch; while part of the sweater may be plain, the design is varied by b0r- der done in plain and purl at the shoulders and the lower part or at the waiStline. There Is one of these which has been very popular with the entire sweater made by knitting four and purllng four. This rule of vary ing the design of the sweater also holds good for those made of wool.

PAQU!N BLOUsEs ARE COPIED
Parislan Bedroom NeoIioee, Brought Over by War Workers, Finds Fa-

The house of Paquin invented a bedroom negllgee that was cut like medieval garment with square sleeves. It was made of satin, trim med with lace and fur, and slipped on over the head after the fashion of q Chinese tunic. It was far more modest and becoming than the usual negligee which Is open in front, and far more protective against chill airs.
 The war workers who brought 1t over from Paris as a novelty have found that 1t Is already copied in our shops and sold at one-third the price paid for 1t at the house of Paquin.
