When Wrong Notes Appear in Apparel Sharps and Flats Jingle to Satisfaction of Faddists. There was a time when the woman who wore her pearls in the morning was—well, “one of those women who wear their pearls in the morning, my dear.” It was regarded much ns Mrs. Gadsby regarded the lace collar on “the impossible woman’s” riding habit. For several seasons past one has no ticed a decided change in attitude. The costume that achieves success at one of the great openings will have on it something that is really “wrong”- or rather wrong according to sartorial beliefs for generations. White or gandie appears blithely trimmed with scarlet leather. It is not practical, it {i_as not been done; but it is charming. Dyed cotton iace, none too fine and obviously machine made, appears on an exquisite dinner gown made In the grand manner. At first we are startled, and then we realize that it is charm ing. Some of the “wrong notes” are striking, all amusing, and all more charming and of more character than the “correct” conventional detail. An exquisite Peggy Hoyt evening frock of the “picture” type is of vivid pink taffeta gathered to a close-fitting bodice so that it stands out like an old-fashioned crinoline. They are iove ly decorative nosegays embroidered on it in darker pink chenille and fine gold thread. It is a gown that might be worn with the hair smoothly parted and in ringlets at the nape of the neck. But the charming person wear ing It chooses an incongruously smart and ultra modern cloche hat of black velvet, very tiny and tight and almost concealing the hair. A very severe vel vet hat, such as one would ordinarily wear with a tallleur. It is the wrong note; It is delightful. A severely tailored tallleur of black rep is worn with a stockscarf and a plain cloche hat. Trailing out of one pocket, a note of sheer femininity entirely out of keeping with the cos tume is a yard square chiffon hand kerchief in vivid color. Again the de cidedly effective wrong note. Two other examples are the use of a tiny face veil on a sports hat; a use of lace that once would have been an unpardonable sin. The hat Is of beige felt, perfectly plain, with a half-inch Fascinating Negligee in Purples and Gold Of special interest will be this charming negligee, which is made very winsome wh:n constructed of vivid purples and gold. Sun Room Helps Save Beach Cottage Heat A sun room Is desirable in the beach cottage, where it is frequently too cold, especially mornings and evenings, In other rooms. A sun room that has become heated during the day may be kept closed and the heat thus retained until long after dark. In this room, where warmth is the desideratum, warm colors may be used appropriately If one's fancy so dic tates. Lavender In its pink shades Is an effective warm color, though great care must be taken in selecting fa brics of that color, as it Is sadly in clined to fade. Chintzes and cretonnes in gay colors add to the warmth of a room, In appearance at least, and so curtains in orange or purple having a red cast. Red itself and even pink are to be avoided as being too rest less in their effect. A visit to the shops will reveal many articles that seem expressly made for the summer cottage. There are cer tain patterns In china, certain shapes and colors In utensils, peculiar fabrics and oddments that the discriminat HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY. McDONOUGH, GEORGIA.

The veil is of sheer brown lace. Another “wrong note,” decidedly piquant and interesting, is the use of exotic antique Spanish earrings with a sports costume. The little Jacket is of white crepe, with gray crepe col lar and sleeve linings. Worn with this Is a chartreuse-colored crepe blouse and a gray felt cloche. The earrings are of old enamel, shaped like a Japanese fan, ribbed with gold and figured with chartreuse color and black chinolserie. A frock of lacquer red kasha cloth, bound with matching eire braid, would ordinarily be worn with a small, and perhaps black, or trllan straw hat, ornamented, perhaps, with a cocarde or quill. Not so. The hat Is a “gar den” shape of brown leghorn, weighed down with great clusters of velvet nasturtiums and their vivid green leaves. —Harper’s Bazar.

To do this he burned finely ground clay and limestone together at a high heat. The hard balls [called clinker] that resulted were ground to a fine powder. When a mixture of this dull gray powder with water had hardened, it was the color of a popular building stone quarried on the Isle of Portland off the coast of Eng' land. So this mason, Joseph Aspdin, called his discovery “portland” cement. That was less than one hundred years ago. Portland cement was not made in the United States until fifty years ago. The average annual production for the ten years following was only 36,000 sacks. Last year the country used over 470,000,- 000 sacks of portland cement. Capacity to manufacture was nearly 600,000,000 sacks. Cement cannot be made everywhere because raw materials of the necessary chemical composition are not found in sufficient quantities in every part of the country. But it is now manufactured in 27 states by 120 plants. There is at least one of these plants within shipping dis tance of any community in this country. To provide a cement supply that would always be ample to meet demand has meant a good deal in costly experience to those who have invested in the cement industry. There have been large capital investments with low returns. In the last twenty-five years, 328 ce ment plants have been built or have gone through some stage of construction or financing. 162 were completed and placed in operation. Only 120 of these plants have survived the financial, operating and marketing risks of that period. Their capacity is nearly 30 per cent greater than the record year’s demand. These are a few important facts about an industry that is still young. Advertisements to follow will give you more of these facts, and will tell something of the important place ce ment occupies in the welfare of every individual.
