What's New
in Fashions

Paris, April 26.-Some Of the hats
intended for summer wear shown in
the shops today have wide graceful
brims of soft straw which droops be-
comingly. The crowns in many in
stance are high and oval in shape, and
the satin ribbon trimming of early
spring is sometimes replaced by velvet
ribbon.
Paris, April 26.-The newest idea in
side panels for the skirt has this diff
ference: Instead of starting at the
waist line or the hip, it starts at a
point rather high on one side of the
bodice. The panel is likely 10 be
pointed at both top and hem and this
point is usually embroidered.
London, April 26.-The up-to-the-
moment tea gown or negligee-there is
really no difference-carries out rather
cleverly the Egyptian idea Of gather
ing the draperieS into panel at the
front of the skirt. In this case the
panel is of lace, topped by a Luxor
ornament, and it gives an airy, dainty
look sometimes lacking when heavier
materials are employed.
London, April ga remarkable
cloak for wear with a thin dress seen
today is hardly distinguishable from a
bath robe in cut and line, and length.
But it is made of silk crepe in a light
or brilliant tint and lavishly embroid-
cred.
New York. April 28.-It is interest
ing to note how the fashionable Golf
fure changes from year to year. This
season the veil is usually brought up
in a little swirl at the back of the
head, scarcely rising above the Golf
fure. 1t is held in place by simple
and slender wreath of orange blossoms
which crosses the forehead at point
so low that most TO hide the eyebrows.
New York. April 26.-One OF the
new shoes in suede or patent leather is
conspicuous because of its quietness in
day when shoes grow wilder and
wilder. This quiet shoe seen in num-
bers today on Fifth avenue has four
narrow straps over the vamp, which
give the effect of being gathered up
ward toward the ankle by jet cabo-
chon buckle.
New York, April 26.-The blouse
blouse frock, very popular today is an
ideal one for the young lady OF less
than 20 years. The upper part is an
over-blouse of gray, sand or caramel,
brightly embroidered: The skirt is
of silk crepe. without bit Of embroid-
cry, and-of course-pleated.
! New York, April 28.-It is not re-
corded that the Pharoahs smoked even
| Egyptian cigarettes. But today's ciga-
ret case has winged south, keys of life,
the sphynx and a palm tree or two
picked out on in brilliants.
Paris. April 26.-Ostrich tips very
uncurled today are more or less re-
placing monkey fur as trimming on
both gowns and blouses. Some of the
blouses have a fine struggling line OF
ostrich down one side of the front.
The gowns usually have cocards of the
feathers.
Paris. April 28.-The smartest ear
ring at the moment is of colored stones
which make no pretense at being pre-
cious. Several colors are used in one
earring, very large stone at the lobe
of the ear and fringe of smaller
stones hanging TO length OF six
inches.
London. April 26.-Little touches
of bright red today are seen on MANY
| Costumes. the smaller and brighter

Frightening takes the form sometimes
of the merest bit of embroidery and
again of a closely plated georgette
ruffle at the neck.
London, April 26.-Lady Mount
batten is one of the young matrons
who has succumbed TO the lure OF the
Egyptian gown. She attended recent
dance at the savoy wearing a beautiful
creation copied almost exactly from
one of those worn in Tutankhamen's
time.
New York, April 28.-The brown
hat, especially the hat of reddish
brown is enjoying a decided vogue to-
day. 1t is seen more often tNan even
the hat of green, though the latter is
very popular. Very frequently the
brown hat has a trimming of yellow
flowers.
New York, April 26.-The warm
weather has brought out late spring
styles in all their glory. One young
lady attracted a good deal of atten-
ton today while strolling down the
avenue by her harem sandals also OF
the desert brown and her stockings of
beige with horizontal bands of Egyp-
tan figures.
New York, April 28.-Scarab gar
tiers are the latest iGea today. The
garters are merely pieces of ribbon
pinned together with jeweled brooches
in the form of scarabs. They are 60

JE NETT MAKES BIC
 RECORD AS J|TNEY
Piles Up 50,000 Miles And Suffers Only A 50 Per
 Cent Depreciation

That the Paige company has facts to back it up in its assertion that the Jewett is sturdy car with a longer life" is the declaration of Bob Steadham, sales manager for Detroit Motor Car company, Birmingham dealers for Paige and Jewett cars.
 To prove his claim Bob cites the instance Cf a certain man who op- erated a jitney line from Ensley out through Adamsville. to Sayre and adjacent villages. According to Bob, this man bought a Jewett about nine months ago and in that period of time he ran this car on his jitney line to the extent of 50.ooo miles, or approximately 200 miles per day, op- erating in all sorts Cf weather, day and night. Sometimes the car car ried only couple of passengers and sometimes a dozen. It Is, of course, a remarkable fest for a car of this price class to pile up such a mile age in such a short time, but this Is particularly impressive when it Us re- lated that the man recently traded in his Jewett and suffered depre- ciation of only a little over 50 per cent.
 This verifies the claim that the Jewett Is not 8 15,oo0-mile car, but a car of long life and comfort, as it's builders advertise.

DON'T SAVE A NICKEL AND LOSE A DOLLAR
Wamsley Talks On Neglect Of Bat
 tery-Offers Service

H. H. Wansley of Wansley Bat tery company in whitman's Garage. 212S Fifth avenue, north, offers some timely advice on the care of a storage battery. Mir. Wansley has just installed 8 constant potential charging outfit, where batteries are charged as they should be in one day. The public evidently appre- ciates this service as an increas- ing business is noted. According to MT. Wansley, the man who neglects his health and disregards his doc tors advice may lose his health and spend many dollars to regain 1t.
 The man who tries to treat his own ailments or who trusts the cor ner drug store rather than re- putable physician, will pay most in the long run.
 These principles apply to the care of your storage battery's health as much as to your own.
 A storage battery Is like the hu- man body-a living. changing thing. It is affected by thirst. starvation, and everheating. It will some day to vigorous old age by regular care and & moderate outlay for pro- fessional attention.
 Willard Service was established to make 1t possible for you, the car owner, to get the longest and most satisfactory use of the quality that the factory first built into the bat tery.
 Avail yourself of the service es- tablished for your benefit and you will pay out money only for what is necessary and what will yield di- rect returns in battery service" ad- vises MT. Wansley.

AUITE AT HOME

Jim Higgins was paying his first visit to the country and so 1t naturally follows that this was also his first visit to farm.
 On the first morning of his visit he breakfasted with the family on cold pork.
 The Cockney fellow immediately proceeded to cut off the rind and then placed it on the side of his plate.
 The farmer noticed this, and, look ing up, he remarked:
 we all eat the rind here, Jim"
