Sweater Dresses
For Cooler Days

A MONG the prettiest of children's
clothes are the smart little ton
coats carrying all the fashion ideas
seen in the motor coats Of grown
ups. Very abbreviated full coats are
cut with kiuono sleeves and narrow
standing collars. They open in the
front like a painters smock and are
slipped on over the head. The
standing collar usually fastens with
a bow tie. The coat may be Of gray
or castor color, trimmed with bands
of bright peasant ennbroideries
The tailored suits for children are
quite those Of the grande dame.
Nothing that goes with the dress
Of the grown-up is lacking. The most
favored style is the straightline box
coat, usually worn without a belt of
any sort, or if a belt is used it is in
the form Of trimming or side belt.
A great many collars are of the
Dutch type, which is SO becoming to
children.
On cool days knitted sweater
dresses, with long waists and short
pleated skirts, are seen. Sometimes
they are untrin1med and merely fin
ished with a banding Of the same
material, and again the neck, sleeves
and bottom OF the skirt may be
banded With a contrasting material.
Many little girls aye seen wearing
bright colored homespun frocks en-
broidered in wool. One of yellow
homespun was made with long
waist. The skirt was extremely
short and fug. The dress was
trimmed with a running stitch Of

mothers wore on their white muslin
frocks. In this guise it was met
With acclaim by all women, young
and old. It could not have come in
more appealing way.
The sash has stayed with us now
for several seasons--a much longer
time than the usual life of a fash
ion. During this period, however,
ithas undergone many changes. No
longer is it just bit of ornamental
ton, but one of the mainstays of
fashion-something to be relied
upon by dressmakers not only to
make dresses smart but to make
them extremely adaptable. A frock
is metamorphosed by the addition of
an unusual sash. 1t is an economy
to have many sashes if, by the ad-
dtion of one, dress may be changed
into an entirely different costume.
A Sash Variation

quently depends on the sash,
which may be narrow or broad,
wrapped about the body once and
tied in huge knot or wound twice
around the hips and fastened in a
very short, perky bow. A founda-

saal a little chemise is transformed

nekar, makes panels to hang from
aer sashes. The two figures at the
oottom Of this page are shown hold
such sash, while the model
5etched at the upper left illustrates
ae same sash worn on straight
froek Of taffeta. Both panels and
g'rde are of the same material as
he dress itself. Groups of tuck
ing ornament the frock and the pam
els. This is the only trimming. Such
dress is easily made, very smart
and quite inexpensive.
Sashes of ribbon are as popular as
those Of the material from which the
dress is evolved. Designers and
manufacturers Of ribbons play a
very important role in the clothes in
dustry Of the present day. We have
come to rely greatly on ribbons as
staple articles Of dress A long time
ago taste for these strips of silk
and velvet was considered the height
Of frivolity; now they are just as
much standard materials from which
TO evolve clothes rs are cottons and
woolens.

SMITHVILLE-LEE
R0ADDISPUTEUP
County's Application For 1njUnc-
ton Argued Before Judge
Littlejohn

An application by the county COM
misisoners of Lee county for an IN
Junction prohibiting the town Of
ficials of Snithville from interfer-
ing with the county forces in pro-
ceeding through the town with the
construction of the Dixie Highway
as re-routed and already under way,
was being argued this afternoon be-
fore Judge z. A. Littlejohn Of the
Superior court at the court here. At
torneys Frank A. Hooper, of Allan
ia, and Wallis & Fort, of Americus,
appeared for the town of Smithville
and certain intervening citizens of
the town, and r. r. Forester of
Leesburg and r. l.. Maynard, of AM
cricus, for the commissioners of Lee
county.
The APPLICATION for the injunction
was brought about ten days ago, at
which time Judge Littlejohn issued a
double restraining order prohibiting
the county forces from doing any
work on tue read inside the town of
Smithville and the officials of Smith
Vile from interfering with county
forces pending the hearing on the ap-
plication.
A number of papers were read at
the opening of the hearing, includ-
ing demurrer and cross bill on the
part of the town of Smithville and
an intervention on the part of cer-
tain interested citizens Of the town.
The controversy is continuation
Of the dispute between the Lee coun-
ty officials and the town of Smith
vile over the relocating of the Dixie
Highway through the town, running
it through private propertY)and COM
tinuing it on the west side of the rail-
road instead of following the old
road from just this side of Wells Mill
TO Hays Crossing. The county asks
the injunction on the ground that it
is proceeding through private prop
erty and therefore is not subject to
the law giving the town of Smithville
sole jurisdiction over its streets. The
cwn is opposing the program of the
county, which in reality is the pro-
gram. of the state highway commits
sion and federal highway, department,
on number of grounds, among them
being the allegation that the proposed
change will increase railroad danger,
will be excessively expensive, will
make the highway inaccessible to a
number of citizens now living on it,
and is otherwise Objectionable.
Among the citizens Of Smithville
present at the hearing were c. g.
AnsIey, Jr., Jesse Faust, j. H. Ran
dali and Ernest Simpson.
