Until very late in the fall, however, white is seen on the city streets, people clinging lovingly to thio almost universally becoming color, or lack of color. White serges abound, usually with a long coat, and all the winter long the lingerie waist v.-ill exhibit its daintiness and snowi ness. For the chilly person little un derslips of silk will have to be pro vided. but with a very warm outside wrap the thin waist without a lining will answer for many a woman. Colored underslips advance in favor, and when of a color harmonizing with the suit, or of a shale that contrasts prettily, they are charming. With a mahogany sirt and coat the slip worn under the sheer waist, may be of pink Bilk, which will be toned down suffi cently to appear but a suggestion of rose, carrying out a color scheme ac cording to latest fashion. White tailored waists in the new fail t-lyles are on display, and my lady is eagerly studying patterns. They are as a rule trim and tailory, although we believe we shall have some frilled shirtwaists over here before the mid dle of the season. And we remember if wa. a very pretty shirtwaist they wore years ago—when the shirtwaist made its bow —with a frill down each side of the front band. The stock was net at all fussy and the waist in gen eral neat and plain, the only trimming the frills. They looked very pretty peeping from an open jacket, and Rave a graceful fulness if the wearer had a figure a little too slender. Recently we studied a waist designed to be worn with a three-piece suit of brown, and liked it perhaps the beat of any of the new models. The back fit ted er-sily, but did not blouse, the front was lather loose, the sleeves had a puff to the elbow, and the long cult, which fitted perfectly, was fastened with small gilt buttons. The hat worn with this might well be one of ih preltv new beavers, soft yet somewhat on a stiff tricorne order, the only trim ming a plum extending from one sid Some Pretty Fall Millinery The exaggerations predicted earlier ; n hat: are not to be inflicted upon us (his year after all. Of course there will be a few of the grand tall ladies that will appear in crowns of awesome height, and look very well in them, too; but the small woman and the av erage woman need not feel it incum bent togo about under a chimney-pot affair. Hats are to be of medium size and medium height. The fall milli nery, we are delighted to say, is ex tremely attractive rather than odd. To be sure we borrow a great deal from old fashions in this season's mil linery. but from old fashions that were charming. What could be better with the dressy costume than a hat like the one ir> our illustration? It is simple and yet its full, graceful lines give it the air of belonging to the wardrobe ol a dame of high degree. And we may pronounce this typical; the roll at one side, the fluffy plume enlarging the outline. Plumes of medium length are seen quite often( much better than the very long, ragged affairs that a lorned (?) the so-called picture hat—which, os worn by those that could afford only cheap imitations of grandeur, was the sorriest thing ever seen 011 the streets in the way of woman's costuming; we lejoice its day is past. Yesterday we saw a hat that loo':ed as though it had been taken bodily from an old French picture look, and we stared at It through its glass ca«e to make sure it was r al. It was flat but with a monstrous bandeau that would elevate it high aliove the coif -1 tire; n black felt or silky beaver, an 1 flat about the brim, close up to the crown, was a wreath of flowc r< of deep pink shade, so constructed and placed they looked as though painted on the black, a very 1 art of I'.

The simply trimmed hat has reached perfection this year, and is much more attractive for utility year than any lussy headgear. Beavers come in pastel shades, and one of a Gobelin-blue is very pretty, trimmed with one plume or with a soft scar. The soft scarf and draping veil is again in esteem, and we shall have the he-veiled lady once more. The bil lowing veil is generally becoming when the veil is fresh and new, but when dampness has worn it to a rag it should at once be discarded. There is a liking for the real lace veil, and Cliantilly, the dear old-fashioned thing, is very stylish. It reminds of genteel days and lavendar; is charm ingly new-old. There will be short sleeves and lonn f-'ieeves, perhaps ihe latter will appeal a little more to the exclusive clas-, tin: former having become so common. Yet it is a "fashion that may well be af fected by both rich and poor, serving as economy for the one and allowing of display by the other; the poor girl saves on frayed and soiled dress cuffs, ean give a dressy touch to the plainest waist by addition of linegrie cuffs and stork, the rich girl ean throw away hei money on expensive long glove.?. Everyone seems satisfied with ttie short sleeve. We offer a design for a soft wool waist, a white ground dotted with pale blue. It has the low neck which those that ean stand a collarless blouse will affect this season, and the bit of hand work that everyone will go in for. The stitchings may be worked in a darker shade of blue. Soft wools are to the forr>. and come in all shades, softest pastels as well as the standard colors. The graceful gown here illustrated is of pale rose cashmere, the skirt long and full, ihe bodice lias fichu folds bordered wi'h narrow frill ■ of silk and fastening with rosettes of silk. The ehemisstt" should be of cream or white flufline-s of s nie sort, lace or net or chiffon. Tin sleeves are just the thing to give the finb.h'ng touch to this design.

Those of Wood Soon Rot Out, and Aro Far More Expensive in the Long Run. The state of lowa is conducting an active good roads campaign. Advising the farmers of the state in regard to the construction of earth roads, the state highway commission says: "Drainage is the key to good earih roads. The whole object of earth-road construction is to get rid of the water and its bad effects. Three systems of drainage are needed—first, tile drain age; second, side ditches; third, sur face drainage. Wherever the ground is naturally wet from ground water, a line of four-inch tile should be laid to a regular grade along the uphill side of the road, under the side ditch, at a depth of three to four fret. "A good, big side ditch, built to a continuous grade as determined by a road level, so that the water will not a c xckktk culvkkt. stand in it at any point, should be pro vided on each side of the road. The road level should be used to make sure :hat the ditch is built to a grade which will not leave ponds of water in the litches after a rain. All surface ponds should be drained, instead of trying :o maintain shallow embankments sub ject. to the capillary action of water ind to the destruction by water and by musk rats. "Proper surface drainage, to shed water promptly in the side ditches, should be provided by properly crown ing the road and by then keeping it hard and smootii with a King road 3rag, which is highly recommended by the commission." The commission considers that, the matter <>r building proper culverts is of very great importance, as 110 road can be kept in good condition when the aid-fashioned wooden culverts are used. It claims that these wooden cul verts are one of the most common ways by which the road funds are wasted. A road officer is quoted as saying that in one spot alone he had dug out the remains of no less than seven wooden culverts, and that at least one or two more had been left buried at the same place. It is said that the life of these culverts is so short that the money put into them is practically wasted. lue commission points out that while (umber is becoming higher in price and poorer in quality, new discoveries of cement rock and new factories and im proved methods are making cement cheaper from year to year, although :lie quality is growing better. In addi ion, it has been discovered that ce ment masonry can be reenforced and greatly strengthened with steel, so that •ement concrete culverts are now being constructed in many states and are giving excellent satisfaction. For culverts and for small bridges up to 30-foot span, the design with a flat top is recommended as more eco nomical to build than tne arch design, says the Country Gentleman. Arches require very solid abutments, while the fiat-top culverts need only thin side walls. The use of flaring-wing walls at each end is advised; also careful protection of the culvert from under mining. by a submerged cut-off wall at each end, and by a cement floor when necessary. These reenforced con crete culverts should be permanent and practically indestructible if properly built. The cost is small, and they cer tainly are much cheaper than wooden culverts when the rapid decay of ihe latter is taken into consideration, as well as much safer. THE ORCHARD.

JMrs. Chester Curry fcjl JMrs. C d has. g A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unlit to care for children ; it ruins a child's disposi tion and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their irothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves thutgovern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, ner vous despondency, "the blues," sleep lessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. I)o you experience tits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying ? l)o you feel something like a ball ris ing in your throat and threatening to choke'you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound ; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross aud snappy?
