ready manufacturing in localities where
their business has ceased to be remuner-

a citizen to add his business and personal
influence to the growth and prosperity
Of the town.
Should the advertisements in the trade
journals bring correspondence from
parties desiring locations in the South
who cannot visit the town, then select
the very best man in the community for
such mission and send him to see the
parties in person and make known to
them the advantages of the town for
their business and the inducements it has
to offer them.
Briefly stated, the secret of success in
this matter lies in organized effort, lib
eral treatment of manufacturers, public
spirited enterprise and push. With these
any southern town may secure all the
industries it wants.

Some Dainty Novelties for Fashion
able Woman's Use.
Peacock feathers are seen as trimming
on dresses.
In evening gowns in London black
trimmed with white is the favorite, and
hair is most deliberately dressed.
To be in the fashion one must wear
flowers according to the season. The
flower garden is the milliners calendar,
so far as trimming is concerned.
White and green, gold and green, helia-
trope and gold and the very palest of
blue and gold are among the popular
combinations for dressy summer wear.
The sweet pea blossom tints are very
popular in shot silk toilets for next sea-
son, made wholly of this material or used
for princesse slips under the lace or net
dresses.
Brown shoes are not made of goat this
season; the leather par excellence is
Russia kid. 1t is lightweight and very
glossy, which lends to the foot slender
appearance.
One chic outing hat at the present
moment is of nutmeg braid in light
ecru, trimmed with russet-brown velvet
ribbon and full cluster of horse chest
nut blossoms.
Corded velvets in two colors show
stripes of one color alternating with fine
satin lines of the other. These corded
velvets are often crossed bv lines of satin
in quadrille effect.
One of the caprices of the moment is
a skirt Of silk with very thin material
draped over it. The silk is of some very
delicate or pronounced color, and the
drapery material is semi>transparent.
Dresses of white linen duck and serge
are useful and stylish. They are some
what difficult to clean, however, and are
better adapted to women with large
means than to her who must study how
to make the best appearance on mod>
crate amount of expenditure.
The delicate senl>diaphanous muslins
and French lawns, which were early in
the season made up oversurah, now have
a foundation of batiste or sateen. Pink,
yellow and pale blue India muslins with
tiny flowers scattered over them are made
up over silky looking batiste of the color
of the ground.
Belts in the waists of dresses are no
longer fastened with hooks and eyes;
one end is stayed and the other has
buckle, such as tailors use
on the back straps of vests These buck
les are great Improvement, as they al
low the belt to be frightened or loosened
as comfort may require.
Wash silk gowns are cool for summer
wear. They are pretty in gray and white,
made with skirt gathered to a round
waist. A velvet girdle, with velvet pieces
fastened to the arm size and tied on the
bust in bow knot, will give character
to this simple dress. In fact, all the sum-
mer silks are made simply.
Vests of rich black lace laid in serpen-
tine folds over yellow and framed with
fine gold gimp give a lace toilet a most
appearance. Glimpses of
the yellow silk or crepe de chine show
upon the shoulders and at the wrists of
the sleeves. Reseda green crepon trim
med with pale ecru crepon bands bord-
cred with jet and gold are fresh and styl-
ish looking to degree, and very becom-
ing.
English women are practical sailors
and on board ship wear more mannish-
looking suits than the American likes.
Some of these girls have been used to
yachting trips all their lives and they go
for all kinds of weather. For
golf and tennis the English girl often
wears her tweed suit with waist coat of
white duck, not deeming a distinct ten
mis- suit essential. There the game is all
important, while here the costume plays
an important part, but such strides have
been made in athletic sports here Of late
that this rule will hardly hold true much
longer
Pay your debts. and you will not have
to buy costly toys or perni>
cious pleasures. Pay your debts, and
YOU will not have what to lose to a game
ster. Pay your debts, and you will of
necessity abstain from many indulgence
es that war against the spirit and bring
you into captivity to sin, and can not
fail to end in your utter destruction,
both of soul and body.-Delany.
