effect They may be tempted back

Nowadays over popularity of a style

seem ever to ruin it. For the time it

very fact that it has become popular

For the difference in the fringes

used in fringes. alone or combined

EFT has been in the offing Of fashion

TIME way that trimming is ap-
piled. quite as much as the
trimming itself. or the line of
the frock on which it is ap-
piled differs with the years and as the
mode of women's clothes slowly
changes and modihes.
Sometimes the decoration depends
entirely on the design of the material,
sometimes on the material together
with the intricacy of the garment it,
self. Often oriental costumes could
be described thus. The Japanese
woman gets the decorative effect in
her clothes by the interesting fabrics
from which they are made. by the
folds of one kimono over another. the
lines of the obi. The addition of
sashes. boleros, aprons and petticoats
makes for the decorative effect of the
whole in the European peasant cos
tune.
Again trimming is applied all over
the frock in the form of braiding,
ruff1es. flounes and frills. This was
one of the characteristics and the
great fault of the costume of the mid
trimmed with ruff1es and ruff1es with
ruchings. Panels were edged with
bands of material and the bands were
further decorated with rows of braid.
What of the modes of today?
The lines themselves are extremely
simple. We have little interest in
new frockS that show boleroS and
overskirts. fiOunces and such intrica'
cies. We like best the frock that is
simple of line and construct on. We
still avoid placing the bulk of the
trimming on the very places that we
used to regard the only suitable
places for trimming. The simple line

aware of the fact that in 1920 Ora
tot did not receive dollars worth
Of the $50,000,O00 bond issue, on her
trunk lines. This year, Mr.. Gibbs
said, the work in the county will cost
about Sls2, 600, of which the county
must pay to the state - per cent,
leaving practically nothing for york
on the highways next year in the
event that nothing is secured this fall
except the one mill tax. This past
year with the one mill tax, the auto
license money and maintenance Of
trunk line funds, the county has only
had about 100000 for its highways.
The taxes are heavy, he said, but do
We desire to lay down on our work.
He called attention to the fact that a
bond issue would solve the problem.
Prosecuting Attorney Romano
Clark was then called upon by the
chair. and pointed out the legal end
Of county bonding.
\ discussion Of the merits Of the
bond issue was gone into at some
length, William l.. Yost Of st. Louis,
Frank Peach Of Emerson, J. y. Nc
Call Of Ithaca, lothian Allen of Alma,
II. S. Babcock of Alma and j. T.
Matthews Of Ithaca, all going into the
matter.
Mr. Allen brought out the fact that
100000 did not amount TO great
deal in tax. Spreading a three mill
tax for three years in the county
would make almost 100000. \ two
mill tax for a five year period Mr.. Al
len indicated would furnish the
amount Of the bond issue. On a forty
acre farm, which had value of $50
per acre a two mill tax would mean
only $500 he showed.
1t was pointed out during the dis
cus-ion that Gratiot County must pay
It's share Of the $50,OOO,OOO bond is
sue, whether or not it spends one cent
Of county taxes for highways. 1t was
then shown that by the payment of
one fourth of the cost the state trunk
line highways in the county could all
be given the work that they need. In
other words Gratiot by spending S.25
would be retaining the other SIS of
every dollar for its good roads, in
stead of not spending anything and
having the SIS of every dollar spent
IN some other county by the state,
after Gratiot has furnished the three
fourths Of dollar to spend.
The fact that the roads are TO be
improved more for the coming gen
Grafton than for the present genera
ton, was a feature pointed out by j.
\. Mccall Of Ithaca, and for this rea-
son a bond issue would pat part OF
the payment on the coming generation
which will reap the greatest amount
Of good from the improved highways.
II. 5. Babcock pointed out the
amounts that are being spent in coun-
ties that are smaller than Gratiot, and
the fine roads that they are securing.
The meeting brought out many in
treesting matters pertaining to roads
Of Gratiot county, and was probably
one of the most helpful road meetings
that has ever been staged in Gratiot.
