Especial )-This is the home OF the mls '!11
toe and the holly. On every NIL
side and along every stream the holly
trees grow in luxlrance. In the sum
mertime the barefootsd urchins shun
them on account OF their brlarv
leaves, but the young man seeks them
to carve his lady loves name deep into
their bark During the wintertime the
robins flock to them TO feed upon the
beautiful red berries. So, aside from
Yuletide's causes for the holly's popu-
larity. it is most notable tree. The
holly is at this season wonderfully In
demand; for. changeable as womanklnd
is, she ever chooses the boughs of this
tree for Christmas decorations. OF 81!
the eyergreens in these parts the holly
is not only the most plentiful, but is the
most beautiful. In very short tine
now 1t will be sacrificed for the Christ
mas merry-making. It Is likely your
correspondent would have forgotten to
mention this ever-attractive tree had It
not been for the wholesale shipment Of
holly to the cities during the past week.
1t Is a new business to us. yet 1t IS
proving to be most lucrative one. The
limbs are packed into small crates that
net a dollar each. One young man OF
this place shipped tWenty-six crates on
one boat TO Baltimore and received
check for $50. Hundreds Of crates went
off on Monday. and the shipments Will
continue until Sunday.

MATTERS OF INTEREST in WOMAN'S REALM

from dust, have quite a little warmth
in them il they are lined with surah,
and yet so light that it is possible TO
wear them on warm day. The plain
black silk coat is not so smart this
year as is the one made in pongee, but
all the same it is mistake TO say that
the plain black ones are out of fashion,
for never have they been more worn,
but the ponge ones are newer, and for
the moment more in demand. How
ever. there is no mistake in investing
In either one or the other in these
days, when a long coat is SO necessary
TO comfort. 1t is contended by very
practical individuals that these long
coats are the most economical fashion
that has prevailed for long time, for II
is possible to wear underneath them a
very smart and a very light gown,
which otherwise would neeessitate the

Earrings are worn more and more:

as are those Of black or pink pearls.
Ochre is the coming color in millin-

Navy blue is being worn more than
it has been for some years in Paris.
Red is in great favor.
In millinery a fancy for huge flowers
is beginning to assert itself; giant ger
anium blossoms of white velvet and
black water lilies are among them.
IL the flowers are small they are usu-

Now The DuBarry Walk

There is a new style OF walk. Il is
called the "Du Barry" For four or
i've successive seasons there have been
the tennis walk" the golf walk" "
last season we were introduced to the
kangaroo walk" now comes the "Du
parry"
The latest walk originated in New
York. A girl who is one Of the oon-
vGrts to the new gait declares Il TO be
not only interesting but fascinating.
AS she describes it. the Du Barry walk
is composed of three movements, those
of the h4ps. shoulders and head. you
begin by taking very short, tripping
steps, allowing one side at time full
ease Of motion. The weight must be
thrown well on each foot before being
transferred to the other. and this con-
tinual balancing gives the desired ef-
feet of luxurious ease and a fascination
of movement But this does not make
the walk complete. The second part,
the graceful, uneasy, Frenchy move
ment of the shoulders that corresponds
with that of the hips is the most diff
cult of all to acquire"

WILL HAVE WHAT LAW
ALLOWS FOR STATE SEAL

Secretary Of State Layton purposes
making this years election registrars
pay for their commissions. and as a
consequence a howl is going up from
those men whose appointments have
been announced.
The secretary acts In accordance with
chapter 1888. volume Is, Laws Of Della
ware. which allows him 81 for every
impression OF the great seal when used
in commissioning public officers" OF
course an election officer is a public
official whose commission must bear
the seal of the State henco the charge
of 81 against him.
Although the law was passed in
1875. this is the first time this par
ticular clause Of il has been enforced.
Former secretaries did not collect the
fee because the salary Of the official
was not sufficiently large TO warrant
the substraction of 81 from II.
AS there are at least 300 registrars to
be appointed, the order of the secretary
will yield him upwards of $780,

Pongee Coats Grow in Favor

Pongee coats seem to be absolutely
necessary for the comfort and welfare
of the smartly gowned woman this
season 1t is not necessary to invest
in one Of the very expensive ones in
order to have a satisfactory garment,
but it must be confessed that the ex-
pensive ones are exceedingly smart and
attractive. While they are apparently
loose and shapeless, they are in reality
we'll cut. shaped and are half fitting.
always close fitting around the shoul-
oer: the sleeves are large, but not ex-
aggeratedly so, and the garment is not
elaborately trimmed The fronts,
faced with green surah with white
polka dots or with linen embroidery
in the grapevine pattern, are too popu-
lar to be very exclusive, and the plain
facing is rather the smartest of any of
the facing covered with the natural col
Ored flet lace.
These coats are made in the dark
colored pongee as we'll as in the
natural color. but are smartest in the
latter They clean and even wash, if
made without a lining and with not
too much pleating or shirring The
latter is a new fad. which is seen only
on some Of the more eccentric ones.
These garments are made long
enough to cover the entire gown, or of
medium length, reaching about to the
knees They are a splendid protection
