OPENING OF THE FoRTIETH sEssIoN-LARGE
ATTENDANCE.
Since last Saturday young men have been
arriving in Salem to enter Roanoke College
and our streets have shown marked change
in the number of pedestrians.
On Wednesday morning, Ceptember 14th
the opening exercises of the 40th session of
Roanoke College, were held in the College
chapel President Drehr and DR.. Fox made
brief addresses to the studeats, and the work
of classifying was begun at once, SO that the
young men are already at work. We areg glad
to learn that the attendance is large for the
first week, and that there are a good many
old and new students yet to arrive, so that
the Faculty are encouraged ut the prospects of
agood session. They are also pleased with
the quality of the new students and the num-
Der who are entering the regular course for
graduation. AS usual, the students come
from many States and also from the Indian
Territory and Mexico. We give them all a
cordial welcome to Salem and feel sure our
people will make the boys feel at home
The students are greatly pleased with the
many Improvements made on the College
buildings and they are doing what they can
to make their rooms more comfortable and
attractive. The buildings were visited by a
good many persons last Saturday afternoon
and everybody was gratiied at the many
changes made during the vacation. 1t is the
general opinion that the buildings are nice
enough now for a college for young ladies'

Just how an alternative medicine cleanses the
system is an open question; but that Ayers
Sarsaparilla does produce radical change in
the blood is well attested on all sides. 1t is
everywhere considered the best remedy for
blood disorders.

considered, the prevailing demand is for
the quiet effects, even more so than
formerly.
How many summer suits should the

The tailor smiled when l put the oues-
ton to him, for his orders were as different
as his customers were numerous. For

years ahead of the majority of the people
down there. and consequently is somewhat
out of touch with them. A couple OF
winters ago / met Colonel Tom at dinner
given by the members of the Confederate
camp in this city at the New York hotel.
The announcement was made to the COM
pany that Miss Winnie Davis. the daughter
of Jefferson Davis, was IN one OF the par
lors of the hotel and would be glad to meet
her Southern friends. The crowd pressed
in, and as each individual was presented
to the daughter of the Confederacy,
there was more or less of the superlative
degree in the compliments flying IN the
air. / shook hands with the young lady

wears ten gray loose-fitting outing suits
during the summer, and they are all made
differently, and yet each fits his stocky
form. His riding suit is made Of corduroy
with tight-titting gray flannel jacket,
out of which the silk shirt shows its
rounded collar. His tennis suits are made
OF very quiet patterns, and look very much
like ordinary sack suits for business, ex-
cept that they are all in flannel effects
The Tuxedo set has made quite hit by
requesting all of the racket and tennis en-
thusiasts to appear in thin striped blue
and gray suits. The effect promises to be
startling in some cases.
The golf club at Southampton, l.. l., has
also ordered its players to don uniform
attire. So during the summer the fashion,
able men who go wild over ''tees'' will ap-
pear in dark gray leggings of any strong
cloth, with sack coats of the same color

and filled in with big lace puff, and here
the velvet ribbon comes into play in ex-
actly the same way, and the rosette adorns
the cuff. The skirt is draped Just little,

usual hearty way. Indeed you
do not, Colonel Ochiltree," was
the response. II shall never for
get the kindness and the service which
you rendered our family on the day that
we fell into the hands of the Federal
troops" Colonel Tom drew himself up
with pride, and as we passed together out
of the door, he said, with manner which
was entirely excusable under the circum-
stances: You heard what she said.
Well, they can all talk as much as they
please, but you will find out on inquiry
that Colonel Tom had nothing to do with
this late war himself" No admiral on the
deck of flagship ever bore himself with
more majesty than Colonel Tom did dur
ing the rest of that evening. don't know
how he is going to come out OF his contro-
versy on the other side OF the water, but L
am pretty sure that under no circum-

only sorry to see him mixed up with such
a gang of scurvy fellows. For year and
a half Colonel Tom has been in England
as the guest of Colonel North, the Nitrate
King.

ington City, had pleasant way OF insisting
that Toms stories were all drawn from the
depths of his Texas imagination. He
good -naturedly gave Tom the palm of be-
ing the greatest red-haired liar in Wash
ington City. But it subsequently became
annoying, and some of the most pathetic in
stances which can recall in connection
with my acquaintance with the colonel
have grown out of his protest that the
generally accepted opinion was that he
was simply good-natured American
Ananias. There never was the slightest
foundation for this. Colonel Tom IS the
life of every social company in which he
finds himself, and his fund OF stories is in
exhaustible. But in all affairs that are
serions, he is as honorable and as
truthful as any man | have ever
had dealings with. He has had
remarkable experiences, and loves TO talk,
even as does Gascon. He never misses
big event, and he probably knows as many
people socially as any man this country has

usage. Outside of the partial formality to
be observed wherever ladies are present,
summer dress is based primarily upon the
rules of comfort. For general everyday
wear in the country there has been intro
duced q flannel suit, with trousers to
match the coat. This suit is generally
white, the stripes being small and neat
The favorlte neckwear for the tennis
field and general country wear will be the
bow or four-in-hand. The former. as well
rs the latter, should be tied by hand.
These scarfs are made up in twills and
other light siiken and washing fabrics.
The tie should always be in tone with the
color of the suit.
AS to headgear, the straw hat-that with
low crown and wide brim-will be worn
almost all the time except upon the yacht.
The fad, which was SO common last year,

sions. is passed. 1t was never good form,
and mainly INDUCED in by that great mass
of men who follow the dictates of popular
custom rather than of good taste. Yacht
ing caps will hereafter stay in their proper
field. The shapes are set by the promi-
nent clubs, and are generally determined
by the bill of dress, rather than by any
set fashion.
For wear about the yacht club and
aboard the yacht, the well-dressed gentle
man is generally attired in such garments
as the regulations of his club command.
The sash has been dropped by the upper
ten. but it finds favor with the masses.
So far this season there is considerable
demand for it, but that demand cannot be
construed to mean anything with the WELL

melt one into the other tremendously.
Another has plain ground, and is scat
tered closely with little bachelors but
tons; the design is simply two buttons
crossed, no leaves and no graceful sprays;
it is very pretty though. The fine, plain
stripes in light shades are very neat also,
and make up almost more prettily than
the flower designs.
The cordurette stripes are exceedingly
pretty. One that l saw the other day had
first an inch of alternate pale blue and
white stripe, and then an inch and half
stripe of light fawn, with zig-zag raised
line of the same shade covering it. 1t was
all cotton, no silk thread in it at all, and
was extremely cool and inviting looking.
The Normandie plating is just like the
fine tucks in wool. 1t was originally
striped material, and every other one of
the stripes was taken up and tucked, SO
that all the tucks are one shade and the
ground between another.
Fine French organizes are always pretty,
and are not expensive-from 80 to Is cents
yard is their cost. Mousseline de l'Inde
is fine and pretty, comes in all sorts of de-
signs and costs only about 30 cents yard.
1t can be had in dots and figures and in
stripes and flowers.
There is nothing particularly new in
chaIlies, except in designs. The black
ground promises to be quite favorite
again this season. Last year it was done
to death. and grew positively wearisome

ground. however. that there will probably

Every time she plays now few minutes
