POSTER -AOLBUItN CO BUFFALO If Y
Two gowns — one from Lanvin and
one from Worth — show something of
the style alms of the coming season
Paris says that with devtous varia-
tions to prove the rule the silhouette
shall remain virtually the same as It
has been for some time past It is to
the details of formation aDd construc-
tion that the artists In dress are bend-
ing the utmost of their talent ' There
seems to be no end writes a fashion
correspondent to the hew forms of
trimming the novel shapings of neck-
lines and waistlines the draptngs of
skirts the shaping of bodices the
handling of lace and the general usage
of all the fine points which go to inake
up a finished gown
While the Parisians are generally
considered to be at the lowest ebb of
their art when handling the making of
suits still In the one which Worth has
designed there Is every sign of all that
is to be desired The skirt Is long and
full enough In -Its width to make It
comfortable for walking purposes The
peplum exhibits a slightly more abund-
ant tendency which gives It the proper
swing above the line of the skirL The
waistline Is long reaching toward the
hips and there It is further augmented
by tucks that are Interestingly grouped
The fur Is not too lavishly used and
still It serves to accentuate the line
and to add to the color combination
which In this Instance Is an antique
green velvety cloth with black fur The
sleeves are an Interesting feature of
this not strictly tailored suit for they
spread open slightly at the wrists’ and
allow the trimming to take Its way up
the arm until It approaches the elbow
Ideas of the French
The French people believe always
that a suit which deviates slightly from
the strictly tailored variety is much
better style” than the one which ad-
heres too closely to all of the masculine
characteristics They Insist that It Is
In the end a more attractively femi-
nine tbiDg If It always keeps In mind
the fact that It Is to be worn by a
woman And syrely their suits remain
as practical as ours which must be
more closely fitted more hardy tail-
ored In some ways they may be worn
for a greater length of time for the
Showing a new “Tailleur” by Worth
Fur serves to accentuate the line and
add to color combination
unevenness of their design allows some
Blight Imperfections to exist without
being too broadly visible
As for the Parisian Idea of all thnt
Is lovely In woman’s attire there Is
the little Lanvin model for pertinent
comparison That has all the softness
transparency and grace that they con-
sider essentials of a woman’s gowning
The materials are block taffeta and
tulle and the little flowers which are
scattered carelessly over the surface
of the tulle overdress are1 made of
cleverly twisted pieces of the taffeta
with golden centers No there Is noth-
ing decidedly new about this- charm-
ingly simple frock but Its character
Is fine and Its tone Is one of beauty —
In all that the French seem to be de-
manding for a standard
Much laee continues to be seen on
the dresses that have been exhibited
at tiie Parisian races where all the
style tendencies of the season to come
are put forward One of the newest
dresses seen at this time had a founda-
tion of figured silk made In chemise
fashion with qnlte short sleeves and a
rounded neck There was a lace cape
over the back and a la?e underskirt
that showed for a -space of about five
inches beneath the silk hem of the
gown' It was a graceful thing with
the stralghtest of silhouette lines but
with the airiness and floating quality
that lace gives
Chemise Dress Holds Own
The chemise dress indeed holds its
own in a most remarkable way Those
who are returning from Parlk say that
nothing else can be seen on the boule-
vards Sometimes they are embroid-
ered (Over every Inch of the surface
that shows sometimes they are mere-
ly trimmed with inconspicuous though
cleverly designed rows of embroidered
stitching sometimes the embroidery
displays Itself In folldly worked bands
of bright colorings and again the
chemise frock is made of simple
plainly woven and plainly colored silk
or satin that has nothing but Its line
— Its artistic and studied line — to rec-
ommend it for more than' passing at-
tention A favorite method of embroid-
ering the chemise frock Is to carry the
stltchlngs (band stltchinsrs they- must
Gown of taffeta and tulle by Lanvin
Its character Is fine and Its tone is
one of beauty
be to be right) from the hem of the
gown to the hip line and then to allow
the rest of the gown to remain plain
and unadorned with only a string
belt to suggest the place where a
waistline might be located
The cape or some variation of the
cape Is still popular among the Pa-
risians The cuts of these capes are
as diversified as the trimmings of the
chemise frocks but always they re-
tain the same lines — straight except
for a place at the front where they
are hugged about the figure A few
of the newer capes have sort of blousy
tops with skirt section joined to them
down about the legs orqulte under the
hips These with their collars of fur
or with furry edgings are the most
graceful of outer coverings
Evening Frocks Are Draped
Evening frocks continue to be
draped and draped and then draped
again A Parisian designer recognizes
no law in these her noblest works of
art but she regards the figure and
what Is best suited to It Some of thS
results are more perfect than others-
a few have positive marks of genius
The silhoyette Is straight — yes — but
every now aDd then one sees h bow or
a puff or a frill br a flounce Jutting
out at the side or at the back or at
some other unexpected angle '
Many brocades are seen among the
newest evening gowns and these are
draped always ar a new angle and In
a new way Generally speaking' It Is
said that the skirts of evening gowns
are longer but here a strange breaking
of the rule occurs for many of them
are long at one side and shorter than
ever at the other while others are so
constructed that the front and back
vie with' each other In unevenness of
length For the brocades there Is no
trimming They are enough In them-
selves and as the materials increase
In beauty and richness so do the’ de-
signs until the whole effect Is some-
thing to wonder at A draped evening
gown is made of the heaviest 'of black
satin and Is held about tile figure In
sweeping curves Then there are two
long and flowing trains reaching far
below the hem of the gown Itself
Lace Is Decidedly Popular -
Lace for evening gowns Is quite the
thing A lace evening gown Is made
with tiers of flounces for the skirt
and with a low’bocked laeey bodice
having only suggestions of short and
lacey sleeves The lace Is black and
Is made over heavy black satin then
under the fine meshes somewhere
about the bodice a fold id draped
length of cloth of gold Is arranged with
subtle deftness There is a lace train
too which Is attached at the rather
high waistline and allowed to swing
free of the rest of the frock until It
sweeps for a matter of a foot or so
upon the floor
Lace and cloth of gold or cloth 'of
silver is a very sumptuous and popu-
lar combination among the Parisians
The draping of lace over this shim-
mering metal foundation Is charming
and nothing has ever been better suit-
ed to the purposes of evening wear
The French hats of the season are
again low and tight hugging the head
so that the least of the coiffure shows
After the general close and clinging
lines of the hats have been established
then they are subject to all sorts of
fpncles — going up Into the air or out
Into the breeze on either side or down
at back with a long sweep of feath-
ers over the lines of the neck and
shoulders '
Lace overskirts are

INCREASE IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
Statistics Show Increase of 1418829
Cars Ovef 1918 — Roads Must
Bo Maintained
That the present Interest In the con-
struction 'of new highways should not
divert attention' from properly main-
taining highways already Improved Is
a point which the bureau of public
roads United States department of ag-
riculture' has had occasion to empha-
size many times In recent months par-
ticularly In view of the enormous In-
crease In motor vehicle traffic which is
taking place The bureau recently
completed a compilation of statistics
from all the states of the Union show-
ing that there were a teffal of 7565446
registered motor cars (Including motor
cycles and trucks) In the- United
States in 1919' This is an Increase of
23 per cent or 1418829 motor cars
over 1918 Such figures indicate that
the country’s highways are being used
far more than In the past It Is pointed
out and In consequence added atten-
tion must be given to the repair prob-
lem The Increase in the number of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered In the entire
United States for 1913
’ Additional use of roads and streets
has of course been accompanied' by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments In the form of li-
cense fees which In nearly all states
are devoted to highway ' needs The
registration and license fees for auto-
mobiles trucks and- motor cycles In
use In 1919 totaled $6469725558— an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918 The
total revenues for New York and Penn-
sylvania the past year were about dou-
ble the revenues received for all mo-
tor vehicle registrations and licenses
In the entire United States In 1912
Certain of the states notably Mary-
land have experienced difficulty In se-
curing road-building materials owing

ALL RECEIVE SOME BENEFIT
Good Roads Are Advantageous Aliks
- - to Producer and Consumer— -Storage
Charges Less'
When the roads of the great pro-
ducing zones of this country are Im-
proved benefits will accrue not only
to producers but to consumers When
marketing is distributed throughout
the year storage charges must decline
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on foodstuffs ' The dis-
advantages of freight congestion In the
fall cannot be entirely eliminated In
many places but good roads will cer-
tainly have a marked tendency to dis-
tribute hauling over longer periods
It Is reasonable to say therefore
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged the area
of profitable production Increased the
opportunity for ' favorable marketing
Improved and more uniform -distribution
of farm products secured

COMMON ERROR IN GRAMMAR
Words “Begun" and "Began" Are
Wrongly ’Used by Those Careless
in Their Speech - r
t It Is quite common to hear some
one say “I begun to do that work
yesterday" “the battle begun between
the two armies” etc This use : of
“begun” to express the pnst tense
(sometimes called the preterit) of
“begin" Is not incorrect according to
some authorities on the uses of words
but there Is a fairly general agree-
ment that the better word to use is
“began” If you wish to safeguard
yourself against possible criticism say
“I began to do that work yesterday”
“The battle began between the two
armies” etc not “begun”
Klchard Grant White In “Words
and ' Their Uses” a high authority
criticizes and condemns the use of
“begun” instead of “began” to express
the past -
Of course it Is Incorrect beyond any
doubt to say “I have began” to ex-
press the perfect tense of “begin”
Say "I have begun” never' “I have
began’-‘-Columbus Dispatch

youngster cautiously
“Which way !” replied the aston-

“Well on top' or sideways teach-
