Damage to local streets totalling approximately $200,000 has resulted from the heavy rain of earlier this week and the severe winter weather of the past few months, a survey being made by Superintendent Thomas J. Fleming has disclosed Many thoroughfares, weakened by the zero weather of the past win- ter, were undermined when more than three inches of rain fell this week with the result that in many instances entirely new pavement will have to be laid.
 The day after the recent rain storm, nasty examination of the streets showed them to be covered with much mud, the result of flooded conditions. It was at first believed that with the clearing away of the mud and gravel the streets would be in fairly good shape once more.

 Tlandin Was Next
 Then Flandin of France, France outraged by the treaty violations of Germany--compulsory military serv- ice, air force, navy--rose to state the case for penalties against a na- ton which France believes can not be brought into the councils as a friend.
 He was reserved. Tn 2 brief speech, he asked the council to take official cognizance of Germany's breaking article 43 of the Versailles treaty (providing for the demilitarizat tion) and to allow the signers and guar antors of the Locarno treaty, which protects France and Belgium against aggression, to fulfill their obligations of mutual assistance.

giving another new angle to the
Spring styles which have already dis
played wide variations.
Numerous long -sleeved dinner frocks
are slashed once to the kneeline in the

ming gowns have long trained skirts
slit to the waistline in front, reveal

Sheer black tulle gowns are worn
over a foundation slip which is a
foot shorter than the cutter skirt.
Afternoon gowns are made of pow

length sleeves, draped bodices and fun
bias skirts. Likewise, many afternoon
ensembles combine q dress and jacket

lady in the manor could indulge In
during leisure. was commerciaIzed.
An interesting precedent was es-
tablished when this lovely needlework
was launched into the commercial
field-in spite Of the vast output every
bit Of it is done by hand-an under
taking that would to the average per-
son have seemed impossible of ac-
complishment on so large a scale as
now exists.
Nine. Jolles soon made her own
designs and patterns, and in the last
few years she has been leading the
parade in petit point art, introduc-
ing modern, as well as old Mexican
and Russian influence in her crea-
tions. She does not conf1ne this
needlework to upholstery and wall
tapestries-today one will find lovely
handbags. compacts. evening slippers,
mules, belts and even travelling lug
gage made of it. Aside from its
beauty. the fact that it wears almost
three times as well as many other
fabrics, has made it increasingly
popular and smart.
THE purchasers of finished petit
point, however, little realize the
many hours of work it represents.
Some of the lovely pieces that are
SO perfectly shaded have taken
months to produce. After the pattern
or design is sketched (sll are done
by Nine. Jolles) 1t Is sent to a
drafting room where the sketch is
turned into a mass of squares and
checks. Mathematical exactness is
required to insure scientific balance
and to simplify the color scale. When
the design has been enlarged and
worked out to specifications it Is sent
to the color drafting room, where
Nine. Jolles personally directs the
shading and coloring. The design Is
then ready to be reproduced as pat
terms for the petit point workers.
The directions for the colors to be
used Is given by q number chart.
Check number on the pattern in
olcates tnat llgnt blue should be used,
etc. This makes the work quite
simple for the worker and there is
little chance of making a color mis-
take. The beauty of all petit point
lies in the perfect shading of colors
and even one or two wrong stitches
can spoil the result.
All of the larger department stores
the world over now carry a good line
OF petit point and to own a beautiful
handbag or lovely suite of furniture
no logger means that we must spend
hours-even years-working.
Time today seems more precious
than anything else. Is it really ex-
travagance if We choose pay for this
beautiful needlework in dollars in
stead Of hours? Nine. Jolles does not
think so!

Bird Baths and Pools Hold Danger for Very

side rails are cracked. All parts of a
ladder should be free of slivers.
Single or extension ladders should
be placed against the house at such
an angle that the distance from the
base of the ladder to the house is equal
to fourth of the length of the lad
der. If the ladder stands on a con-
crete sidewalk or smooth surface,
somebody should stand guard at the
base.
1t is dangerous to lean too far from
the ladder, and it is dangerous to at
tempt to carry too heavy a load up
or down. One should always face
the ladder with both hands, If possible,
on the side rails"
RIRD baths and pools are very
pretty, and, of course, add q
great deal to the appearance of the
garden, or the grounds around the
house, but 1t must be admitted that
they do present real hazards to very
young children, unless care is taken in
planning for their sites. Children
sometimes fall, striking their heads
on rocks, and drown in the shallow
pools before assistance can be OBJ
tanned. A wall about the margin of
the pool may not be quite as beauti-
full, but it is certainly safer. Bird
baths should be made all in one
piece, and firmly anchored to the
ground-many child has been badly
hurt by trying to climb upon one,
which, toppling over, crushed him be-
meath its weight.
All cisterns and wells should be

between the devil and the deep want

This mothers letter is typical of
hundreds. but fortunately Mrs. Y. c.
asks before proceeding. Too many
mothers make the rash mistake of
bleaching the youngsters hair with
out seeking advice. They may find
after a few years that the hair Is
considerably weakened, tends to break,
lacks life and body. A good, pure
CASTLE soap should be used for sham
pooing the hair, and a lemon rinse
(mild. may be used afterward. The
hair should be brushed regularly. And
if 1t still tends to become darker per-
haps nature intended the child to be

Proprieties
And Special
Invitations
RY EMILY POST,

LIsk1AA WA
DEAR MRS. POST: Is it proper to
invite very dear friend who Is
in mourning to come in to q large
cocktail party, or to any other general
type of party, or is 1t better to say
nothing at all? I don't know what
to do, because I'm afraid OF hurting
her feelings If I overlook her and at
the same time I'm afraid she will think
it strange If I expect her to come TO
q gay type Of party.
Answer-If q person Is in really
deep sorrow, it would be shockingly
heartless to invite her to any type OF
party whatsoever-let alone a gay one.
II you want to show your thought OF
her, send her a few flowers on the day
OF your party and 60 to see her often.
In other words, show your friendship
and sympathy in ways other than by
inviting her to parties.
X n
Dear Mrs. Post-In connection with
your Sunday article on the chaperon-
less trend, viii you please tell me after
what hour it would be considered in
correct for q girl to invite her friend
"a mani to (a) her own apartment
and (b) to her family's apartment.
Answer-Although much depends
upon individual circumstances, ordi-
narily speaking, q girl who lives alone
would certainly lay herself open to
criticism should she let man 60 up
to her own apartment (unless he Is
one of a party as late as 10 o'clock.
This, of course, has nothing to do
with the girl who lives with her fam
lily. How late she asks him in then
would depend entirely upon how late
her parents sit up themselves or upon
what they approve.
