ished at the wrist with two cloth
covered buttons and button holes.
Except for narrow braid in rows, by
which the skirt acknowledges an ac-
quaintance with coming spring styles,
there is nothing to say of 1t that Is
not told by the picture.
In company with this dependably
stylish suit, there is an equally effi-
cient coat, as practical and as smart.
1t is long and double-breasted, has full
sleeves and deep, turned-back cufis
with fur border. The belt with sash
ends of cloth is given character by
handsome silk tassels which match up
in smart style the deep cape with
three bands of fur for ornament. This
cape is the pride and glory of coat
which it elevates into the class OF the
best models and worn with it Is
smart satin hat with ornaments at
the front made of ostrich f1ues.

IBETWEEN LINDEN AND SEATTLE

With the opening today of the one
mile stretch of pavement north of
Silvana, Lynden motorists now have
an excellent route available for their
trips to Seattle. Via the Samish road,
but % miles remain unpaved.
Eighteen miles Of these are on the
Lake Samish route, and are in fair
condition. The other gap is the five
miles between Stanwood and Flor
ence. a good gravelled road.
With the exception of this five
mile gap. the Pacific Highway is paw
ed to three miles north of Burling-
ton. The six-mile stretch between
Conway and Mount Vernon was ded-
icated last week. The mile stretch
north of Silvana is scheduled to open
for traffic today.
BY taking the Waterfront Road
the number of miles of unpaved road
is further reduced, and it is now only
question of a short time until there
will be through paved route to Sc
attic. The opening of the pavement
today, and that of last week, removes
practically all of the hardships of the
trip.
