This may be varied to suit the wearer and the oc casion. The materials used are cnosen by the wearer and may be anything from heavy woolen to soft silk. . The garment is especially adapted to busi ness women who have little time to change from a day to an evening costume. As formidable as the universal cos tume sounds, it is rather an attractive garment, and is being worn by many women who have adopted it as a prac tical garment, and others who have chosen it as a fad. It has made its appearance at the seaside and Sum mer hotels as well as In offices, school rooms and libraries. Mrs. Landone herself is entirely con ventional in her dress. She is fond of conservative styles and colors. She dresses much like other women. The present age will, according to the dress reformer, bring to women the realiza- ion of the importance of the struggle for existence and the lack of impor tance in finery, as the age of the French Revolution brought the same knowledge to men. She declares that the bedecking of the person is a rem nant of the dark ages which must be done away with sooner or later. The Polymurlel she believes to be the solu tion of the problem of dress reform. heart's content these days in seed Dlanting. As soon as the ground is prepared for planting, the early potatoes may be put in. the onion sets, radishes, let tuce, beets, turnips, spinach and hardy Deas. All of these now should do well. The vegetable garden planted at this time should begin to yield something for the table within the next six weeks, when radishes will be large enough to use. and from that time on ther should be some new vegetable coming ready for use continually through the months of the Spring. f By Marie Dille.' I Mrs. Mildred Johnston Landone, Cre l tor of the Polymurlel. NOW and then one sees a gown that is part frock and part tunic, a garment that is not "up-to-date" according to the Paris designers and is somewhat ahead of date In the estimation of women who do not care to accept the standardised dress for women. Miss Jessie Rosefield is the designer of this new garment, but Mrs. Mildred Johnston Landone, of New York, wag the originator of the idea and the inspiration behind the design ing of the dress. Although Mrs. Landone did not know exactly what might be accepted in the way of a simpler dress Bhe did advo cate less submission to prevailing modes and more to the individual and the demands of the wearer. She was so determined to evolve a universal costume for women that she offered a $150 prize to the designer that would create a costume that might be worn on all occasions from the office of the Business woman to an . after-theater cupper. According to Mrs. Landone, the minds of women are more important than their clothes, and when relieved from the worry of following ever changing fads they will devote their attention to more important things. Her original idea was that of a rather short skirt wtih trousers Just show ing beneath it which might be turned up in wet weather. She advised the se lection of the most durable and adapt able materials. The Polymurlel" that has been de signed differs slightly from her orig inal idea. It has a short, rather full GREAT heed must be paid to the "little things that count" in fash ion as well as in other affairs. This year the greatest amount of attention paid to litle things is concentrated on the neckwear. Now that Winter i3 oyer and the smart skating scarfs can not be worn much longer, and woman is loath to give up so becoming a part of her wardrobe, an ingenious design er gave her an aftermath. It's a silk scarf tie that comes in just as many and Just as gay colors as the crocheted scarf. The shape Is identical and the ends are fringed, in many instances with a different color. Some of the "scarf ties" are in pastel shades and some in stripe and in mar ble silks; others are in bright colors. They present a beautiful means of get ting the wearer gradually to uncover her throat that has been swathed in crocheted scarfs and furs all Winter. A new way of wearing the "scarf tie" and other ties is effected by the use of a high collar that has standing-out points under the ears. These may be of any material from crisp organdy to stiff linens. All except the points of the collar is concealed by a colored tie that is wrapped several times about the neck and then tied in a single in visible knot in front and allowed to bang down like a Jabot. Collars that are like little shoulder capes will be popular, especially if they have an additional small stand up collar about the neck. There is a French atmosphere about the flaring organdie or batiste collar with a chemisette of like material attached and buttoned up the front with cut steel or other fancy buttons. There is a collar, so unusual that it attracts a great deal of attention and is of so unusual a style that it may be worn by only a few types of women. It has not a particular name and is made right on the frock. The idea was to imitate the cowl of a monk, when the hood is thrown "back. The collar has no visible seam in front and wrinkles loosely almost halfway up to the chin. The back has the ap pearance of a hood. Hand embroidery, that has been neg lected the past few months, with Spring finds new life, and is especially in demand on the neckwear. Little colored sprays of embroidery on white organdy, satin " or Georgette crepe make handsome vests and collars. REFUSE BURNER IS RUSHED Plant at Hoquiam Will Be Largest on Coast. HOQUIAM, Wash.. Feb. 23. (Spe cial.) Construction is being rushed at the Grays Harbor Lumber Company'! plant in this city of what will be when completed the largest mill refuse burner on the Pacific Coast. The burner will be 100 feet in height from the base to the top of the wall and will be more than CO feet in interior diameter.

Party Is Returning From Union Pacific Conference. Frank W. Robinson, traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, and H. E. Lounsbury, general freight agent, are due to return home today from 10 days' conference with other officials of the Union Pacific system at Salt Lake City.

Plans for handling both freight and passenger traffic on the Union Pacific system during the coming Spring and Summer were discussed.

ROAD FUSS HAS NEW ANGLE Those Who Bond Property for Tax Can't Benefit by Court Decision. More" complications in the Linnton Hillside Boulevard assessment problem arose yesterday, when the City Council ruled that the property owners who bond their property for payment of their assessments cannot get a refund In case the courts hold that part of the assessment cannot be collected and that after the suit the property owners can not bond for payment, but must pay in cash. The Deriod for bonding expired yes terday, with assessments to the extent of $5600 bonded. It is the plan of the majority of property owners to con test the assessments In the courts.
