ment be used In the .extensive cam
paign of street paving to be carried
out on about 26 streets of Astoria this
year. :- - u"-'
The members of this committee havi
nil arrived at the conclusion that bltu
llthlc is superior to all other kinds of
l.aving, and Is better, suited to tho
needs and conditions of this city than
Is asphalt. . .'.".'' .:'
' The committee decided strongly in
favor of bitulithlc-following a trip
of Investigation of . various types of
paving used on the streets of Portland
and after ascertaining the experience
of numerous other cities with bltu

THE PiPLUM BLOUSE
WILL BE POPULAR
Fashion Dssisners Are Pusritiig
This to Sty!: ol Waist,
Tlio peplum blouse has found much
favor with designers and Is now blos
soming forth in new spring materials.
It Is shown from the simple affair for
tailor mades to the costly creations of
chiffon and ince Intended to 'accompa
ny the elaborate afternoon costume, the
part of the blouse fulling below the
plrdle .varying greatly in size, slinpe
and importance. r
The peplum Is always comparatively
short, but it differs radically from the
tiny frill below a very . high wnlsted
girdle, which was the first style In this
sort of thing In bodices. '
Krequhntly -the' peplum is merely a
rounded or pointed tab In front, ap
pearing not tit all on the sides and In
tho back. Or it is in evidence both In
the front and iu the back, but not ou
the sides. .' . ..
In some caRes a wide panel or entire
frout of lace or embroidered net Is
continued below the. waist to form a
tab rencliiug quite across the front of
tho skiVt. . : - : ...
Arrangements of this kind ure best
.curried out in the transparent stuffs,
although the French designers have
sent over silk;. blousca handsomely em
brolfleed irid?nMtli'iB"i -peplum -tab Jof
.the embroidered silk continuing the de
sign of an' embroidered front. '""
A flat fichu collar of lace girdled at
tho normal waist line or a little 'above
and so disposed us ' to form a single
point below the waist line Is ns.d on
some of the imported frocks, .The
(Mine idea has been developed by tho
blouse , designers, I-IaudHomely em-'
broldered tine net, however, is a great
favorite with these designers for tho
dressy typo of peplum blouse and the
plainer net for tailored blouse pur
poses. - .
Noval Rovers.
For tnilor made dresses some of the
jackets are cut without revers or with
the tiniest of revers. Sometimes with
the little levers there Is u third revers
bunging from underneath, very soft
ami uinde to He in something of a plait.
This effect is good and means a changj
from tho "cut nnd dried" revers we've
I ecu seeing so long.
The, white pique revers being used
now ure only a repetition of last fall's
styles, except revers that were of lal
unge or velvet or satin, but always
white. ; ,
