Few women live who have not at
least a faint desire to be acceptable To
men and women. Formerly beauty was
a great factor in "a woman's success. II
is yet. But when a man meets wo-
man who can converse nationally upon
current topics of interest and forget
all about the last ball, there is a good
chance that the man will be found adj

FOR THE CHILLY WOMAN

Fashion has prated all winter the ne
cessity Of the coilarless mode in outer
wraps
Now these fat. smooth bands of
bright embroidery lying low around
ones neck. deemed the proper finish for
a coat. are unquestionably pretty. They
lend a swanlike grace to the throat. NOT
to speak of the admirable opportunity
they offer for showing off exquisite neck
wear. They also save a woman from
the 'bundled-up" aspect which in these
athletic days she scorns to assume.
But-and here's the rub-they're Just
trifie chilly when the thermometer
drops 10 three degrees above zero. Even
with furs. the cold creeps in at the
neck. because the hatness of furs is
another of fashions edicts this year. So
far. nothing so nice and warm and
genuinely comfy as the good, old
fashioned stOrm-collar has been per-
mitted.
Snuggle UP your throat, cover your
ears, and, viola, you might as well be
dead. for you would be distinctly out
of style. 1t has been unquestionably old
fashioned TO be susceptible to cold.
At last. however. concession has been
made to the chilly woman. Something
other than ''fiatness" is permitted her,
even that generous, sensible, grace
fully curved stOrm-collar OF years agone.
which perks up comfortably on some OF
the very newest furs. Women who suf-
fer from cold han it with delight. 1t is
smart. decidedly. for IT takes the form
of a pelerine, only that the cape ex-
tends below the waistline on every side
while the usual long stole ends fall
deep In front.
And not bit of style does II lose be-
cause of the high standing collar. which
certainly invites the soul of the thin
blooded woman who has yearned TO
break away from smart and chilly FIAT
ness.

An objection TO stocks was that there
was no good way OF fastening them at
the back, so that neatness would result
Pitiable indeed has been the display of
black and white pins thrust in at ran
dom, which made the wearer look ex-
tremely slovenly, and suggested untidi-
ness, but the new stocks are supplied
with snap fasteners. such as are used
on gloves. with buttonhOle under
Teath, so tkat they may be fastened to
stud at the back of the neck. The
turnover collars are adjusted by means
of buttons and buttonholes to the stock.
which plan saves the discomfort Of
pins. and time in adjusting them by
sewing.
Good taste forbids the wearing of a
light chiffon stock with a flannel blouse.
and the new silk collars OF every hue
and shape make the meek finish of "A

HELPFUL HINTS

The proper way TO cleanse the teeth
is to brush from the gums downward
for the upper teeth. and from the gums
upward for the lower ones. BY these
means the interstices are thoroughly
cleansed. The inner portions of the
teeth require moro careful cleansing
than the outward portions. Dental floss
should be used in place Of toothpicks
1t will be found much more ef-
fectual.
a few drops of tincture OF myrrh

makes a pleasant mouth wash after the
cleansing process has been gone

The jug Law.

Durham, Special.-At night ses-
sion Of the Superior Court, which last
al until we'll into Thursday night,
Judge Charles M. Cooke, who presided
over court here this week, decided that
chapter $40, OF the new laws, the anti
lug law, applied only to the counties
named in the caption of the achieve
land. Cabarrus, Mitchell and Castor
counties. The matter that caused this
decision were two cases against john
G. Patterson, of Roxboro, who was ar
rested and carried before the court
under the charge Of selling vhiskey IN
Durham since prohibition was declared.
The State contended that chapter 34S
made the place Of delivery the place OF
sale in prohibition and dispensary ter
ritory. When the matter was called an
agreed verdict was renderd by the jury,
Mr.. Patterson having admitted the
facts in the case. The question OF con-
struction Ut law was then taken up
before the court, and after much argu-
ment the court decided that the act did
not apply to the State at large, ana
that. so far as the law Is concerned, a
person has the right to ship whlskey
into prohibition towns and counties.

Russian Counts Vain Efforts to Es'
cape Secret Police.
The career of the Russian Count
Nicholas Savin, who was arrested az
Hamburg few days ago on the IN
formation Of the Russian secret police,
reads like a page Of fiction. Several
times previously the count, by most
reckless courage, had escaped from
his prison exile In Siberia. where ne
had been sent for committing forgerys
and each time he was recaptured and
extradited from the country where ne
was found. His last flight, which has
Just ended in his arrest at Hamburg
has given the Russian police ten
years trouble. The count got away
from Siberia in 1898, and succeeded in
reaching the United States. For hve
wears he lived undiscovered In CHI
cago. earning his living at various
times as waiter, billiard-marker. cab
man and tram conductor. In 1893 ne
volunteered for the war, and fought
with great distinction with the Amer
lean troops against Spain. Afterwards
he went to Spain as the representa-
tive of an American export house. The
Russian secret police were meanwhile
making an incessant search and re-
Gently they located him In Spain.
When the count discovered that his
identity was known he boarded a
steamer at Lisbon, bound for Ham
burg. Detectives booked passages BY
the same vessel. and on arrival at
Hamburg persuaded the German au-
thorities to seize the count. He will
be taken back to Siberia after the
extradition formalities. The count,
who is A years of age, Is the husband
OF the French Countess Lantrec de
Toulouse.

North State Cuttings.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has obtained an order from Juage
Simonton, of the United States Cir
cult Court, temporarily restraining
State Treasurer Lacy and the Corpo-
ration Commission from collecting the
license, or privilege tax, OF 20 Genus
on each mile of the companys wires
in operation In North Carolina. The
Treasurer had Lotified the company q
few days ago that unless this tax was
paid by tomorrow he would place the
matter in Attorney General Gilmer's
hands. The tax would amount to $4,Sn
on the company's 1868 miles OF wire.
The restraining order will be heard be-
| fore Judge Purnell, January ~, at
Charleston. Treasurer Lacy says he
does not know why the Corporation
Commissioners are included in the suit,
az they have nothing whatever to 90
with the privileges of license taxes
The Western Union Company claims
that the tax in question Is In violation
of the Interstate commerce law; that
the company pays very full tax on
ad valorem values, and shat 1t cannot
be taxed for the privilege OF doing IN
ter-State business.
