X 3 In Woman's Realm Supreme Charm of Feminine Apparel Is Daintiness, and Manufac turers Have Done Their Share in Turning Out Proper Mate rials, Such as Shown in the Negligee Pictured Below Description of the Season's Styles in Veils. Daintiness Is .the unfailing charm of Wmcn's apparel, and some little hint or touch of It Is surely within tho reach of every woman. Soft gay colors, sheer materials, tho luster of ribbons and the charm of lace aro all -carried out In cotton ins well ns silk weaves. Plaited crcpo do chluo In a lacc trimmcd slip Is tho foundation for an ample, coat of net in the exquisite ocgllgeo shown. The slip fa r ccordlon DAINTY NEGLIGEE plaited and has a girdle and yoke of -cream-colored lace banding. It Is sus pended from tho shoulders by narrow pink sntlu ribbon. The ribbon shpul dcr straps extend to the lower edge of the yoke, passing under the lace. They aro met at this point with a bow and hanging ends of tho samo ribbon. Tho very full coat of net looks more like n rosy cloud or mist than like nn earth-born fabric. It is finished with 41 deep flounce which makes opportun ity for additional fullness, and has long and very full sleeves which are v in reality flounces set on to an upper portion that covers the shoulders. Not every ono finds use for n boudoir garment ns pretentious ns this. Thero are short coats, mndc of accordion - plaited chiffon, or crepe, thnt aro draped with the most cobweb-like laces. LATEST DE8IGN Although they look so fragile, yheer silks weur well and they will stand careful washing. Fine laces aro not injured by soap und water, if gently handled. Silk fabrics nnd laces should bo Ironed on the wrong side, and be fore they dry. Net nnd chiffon, or lnco and chiffon, aro combined In tho new veils, nnd an extrcino of tho typo Is shown in the picture. Hlnck sill- lace and white chlfr6n nro joined by hemstitching in this novelty, and the veil is bordered by a wide hemstitched hem. It is a striking variation of tho regulation chiffon veil for tho motor car, and is worn with cither tho lico or tho chiffon over tho face, or thrown back, as required. After n variety of combinations- of loco or net and chiffon tho veil liked best is made of net having a border OF CREPE AND NET. of chiffon nine inches, or less, in width, hemstitched to it.

They form tho decoration, or part of It, on tho dress ier street hats. Others to be worn with any hnt arc smaller and are made of plain net bordered with two or three rufllcs of very narrow ribbon. They are shown in black and taupe gray mostly. Tho pretty floating veil of midsum mer delayed its arrival until tho mid dle of August this year, but, In colors, It promises to remain longer than usual.

RJJTJ GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY Wall-Graded and Drained Earth Road, When Dragged Regularly, Is Quito Satisfactory. Two very striking facts present themselves to thoso who have noticed our country roads Uds season. Tho first fact is that proper drainage is vitally necessary In order to havo a permanently good road. The second fact Is that a well-graded and drained cnrtli road, when dragged regularly, will glvo us a passable and fairly good road even under abnormal weather conditions. Somo of tho best roads wo havo passed over this season have been simply dirt rpads receiving log drug treatment. Somoof thoworst roads we have gono over this season havo been expensively made graveled roads which have been bad simply becauso of luck of drainage. Tho fundamental principle of road building, uftcr all Is said and done, is to sp grade our roads and provide dralnago tlmt tho water can get away. Sentiment In the mlddlo West seems to bo gradually settling down to tho opinion that good roads ure n ne cessity and not a luxury. Building roads for automobllo owners now means building roads for farmers nnd not for city people alone. Tho farm tractor nnd tho farm truck of tho fu ture will further emphasize tho im portance of good country roads. Tho only thing that must bo Insisted on Is that roads must bo made of tho best materials at hand, and the work must bo dona under tho supervision of thoso who understand road-making. This supervision naturally adds to tho cost. Another thing that must lro understood is that maintenance of 'tho road year after year, prompt attention being paid to repairs, is just ns necessary as tho first construction. "Wo predict thnt good-road building Will continue to bo ono of the most populnr subjects for discussion for tho next few years. The proposed federal nld for road building,- providing $75, 000,000 to bo spent during (ho next flvo years when a similar sum Is .raised by tho local community, means that n natlonnl system of roads Is to becomo People Llvjng In the 'Township Through Which This Road Runs Do Not Care for Engineering Advice. a reality. Tho states, likowlsc, are be coming more liberal in spending money for highways. From nn agricultural viewpoint, tho most deslrnblo help to the good-road propaganda just now must come from the individual farmer when ho realizes that good roads nro a necessity in tho proper development of tho country. Tho Farmer. METHOD OF PATCHING HOLES Gravel la Mixed With Heavy Road Oil, Which Acts as Binder Use a Concrete Mixer. Tho modern scheme of protecting voad surfaces with sprayed oil has de veloped a now mothod of patching holes. Gravel is mixed with u heavy road oil, which acts as a binder. This is prepared In advance and carted to tho placo where the patching is to bo done. Loss gravel is needed than whn. It Is used dry, becauso tho hole need be filled only levcj and tamped, while with the ordinary method the patching gravel must bo henped above tho nor mal surface of the road. "Whero patch ing on a largo scale Is to bo done, a concrete mixed can bo used to preparo tho mixture. Popular Mechanics Magazine. Lose Money on "Boarders."

Wo nover really Rain anything by pretense; we only think that we gain and make others think It. The bot tom of the matter Is a lie und It Ib theroforo valueless. Ono of tho great est delusions of the world Is tho appar ent triumph of humbug and cant and Insincerity. Thcso things always re main what they aro, In splto of gilding and tinsel.
