Shnwl-collared coats, made in diagopals
and severely plain in finish, says the New
York Sun, have double breasted waistcoats.
worn over linen shirt bosom and collar
for the street. For house wear or summer
use the waiStcoat is dispensed with, and a
Tuxedo effect is given to the coat worn with
a broad linen bosom with O soft silk sash
folded about tho waist. A plain, close fit
ting coat of rough tweed is made for a
woman In the same style as single breasted
coat for men, with the lappels of the collar
notched like those worn by men. A man
will notice the little trace of womans obs
stinacy in the way the collar
laps, but otherwise the coat, linen col
lar and tie Will meet with the approval of
the most fastidious. A very pretty
effect is given by facing the shawl collars
with silk or satin, or they may lie covered
with close braidiug in which metal threads
add richness to the garment and render iC
more dressy and less manpish. Medci and
Stuart collars are used also on the dressy
coats, aud make q becoming framework to
pretty face. The high pulled sleeve is
universally used, and Louis XVI cuffs are
to be found on garments ornameuted with
braid or bullion.
The skirts worn with these coats are in
variably OF some wool material, closely re-
seTnbling the cloths used in mel's clothing,
and are made in the pull-back fashion,
drawn very tightly about the hips, and fall
ing straight in the back in such wav as

A reign of buttons is upon US, saws the
New Y FORK Times. From London aud Paris
come gowns for early spring wear showing
an array of buttons that would not dlsgraca
tiger In boot tops. If they are small thew
are almost countless, if they are large they
are well-nigh priceless. Which will you
have! On one woman's bodice seventy but
tonholes " ere counted, the sleeves, button
ing nearly to the shoulder, requiring twenty
buttons on each arm, the other thirty being
needed on the waist which butte ed over to
the shoulder. Many of the coming large
buttons are works of art. Some seen were
of Wedgwood china, the ground pale gray
like the cloth, with a tracery Of white upon
it. Old silver and gold buttons were on
some especially handsome gowns, and one
fashionable woman, who scorns economy
has had set of small canoes mounted for
her Louis Seize coat of ashes-of-ruses velvet
to be worn with faille velvet princesse

shades of the cameo seemed to be merely a

A lesson in color may not come amiss at

are being planned. Ia all cases where fig

with the plain material, let the ground

certain otherwise pretty tea gown was
spoiled for all but evening wear by disre-
gard of these rules of color. The woman
selecting it, in ignorance of the law of pre-
vailiEg harmony, chose a white challie with
lavender figure and bought some black net
to drape the front of the gown and for the
sleeves. Thus a white groundwork was
brought in direct iuxtaposition with black
draperies. The effect was so homogeneous
that the modiste, to lessen it, lined the black
net with lave der challies and ran half n
dozen rows of lavender ri bon through the
open meshes of the black net.
The effect was still homogeneous during
the day, but by gasight it looked much
better, because a certain purple figure upon
the avelder ground appeared black by arti.

Reunited In old Age.

HOUSTON, MISS, May 9.--About fifty
years ago Lee Barton and Matte Love.
lace were married in South Carolina.
After living together twelve years they
we're separated by divorce. Mr.. Barton
came to Mississippi. In Houston he met
Miss Mile Martin, and soon afterward
they were married. They lived happily
together until about year ago, when
Mrs. Barton died.
In his loneliness, Mr. Barton's thoughts
reverted to his first love in South Caro-.
lima. The divorced wife had been mar
ried, and few years ago had lost her
husband by death. A correspondence
was begun, the old fame WAS rekindled,
and after the separation of thirty.eight
years they replighted thei. troth. The
widow came to Mississippi, arriving last
Saturday, and they were remarked on
Sunday evening, by the Rev. Mr.. Wilson,
at the Second Baptist church. William
Griffin and his wife--each about sixty
years of age-were the attendants. They
have begun life anew and appear as
happy as in youth.

Right up in the western corner of South
Carolina, says the New York Sun, is per-
haps the best trout fishing region within
the same distance from New York. How
it came to be 80 is most interesting.
There are the foothills and some of the
mountains of the Blue Ridge, or at least,
of spur of that chain. The streams
never had any trout or fish ofany sort in
them. Yet on the other side of the
mountains all the waters were richly
stocked. One year, not 80 long ago, Gen.
Wade. Hampton, who had summered
there from boyhood, took barrel in q
wagon and went over the mountains to
get as many trout as he could. BE came

ed stream on the east side of the range
he threw a handful of young trout in and
passed along. Like Bre'r Fox, he said
nothing to nobody. In year or two he
went again and fshed surreptitiously in
the waters that we're supposed never to
have known fish. He caught plenty.
The next year the sparse population dis
covered their existence. Now the streams
abound with splendid trout.

The Manutacturers' Record of last week
published list of every cotton seed oil
mill in the South, giving the name, loca-
ton and capacity of each. This report
shows that there are now 1914 mills with
a capital of over s2o,ooO,Oo0 against
forty mills with capital of $3,5O0,OO0 in
1880. Forty of these mills have estab-
lished fertilizer factories in connection
with their oil business, using cotton seed
meal as q basis for manufacturing fertih-
zers. Reviewing the industry, the Han
utacturers' Record says: "It was but q
few years ago when cotton seed were an
incumbrRnce, and when the farmers had
to dump them wherever they had waate
place. It is true that to some little extent
their value as fertilizer was recognized,
and here and there few were used for
the purpose, but they counted nothing In
adding to the wealth of the South or to
the prosperity of the Southern farmer.
The increase in mills has been greater in
size and quality than in number. Many
of the oil mills that were badly construct
ed and filled with antiquated machinery
have been abandoned, and the business
concentrated in newer and more thor.
oughly equipped mills. The Cotton Oil
trust has pursued this policy, and has
ceased to operate number of mills that
it purchased"
