Normal Begins Mid.winter Term

The mid winter term of the Superior
Normal opened Monday under most
promising auspices The first day en-
rolIment was large and it was consid
erably increased during the week.
Among the new students are sever
al who attended the normal before
but were unable to commence with
the September term The school has
only lost about 10 of its students this
year by graduation or from other
reasons and the new term will not
only make this up but will have a
little mega.

Union Wants No Trouble

The seamen's union of the Great
Lakes boat employees will not be the
cause of any tie-up which may occur
in the spring. That is what the lead
ers of the union claim. They have
just completed their sessions of the
annual meeting at Chicago and while
detailed results are not given out il is
stated that the union will make no
unusual demands which are likely To
cause trouble with the vessel owners
nor will the wage schedule be mater
tally changed.
There is still said to be likelihood
of trouble from another source. The
captains and pilots are mixed up in a
disagreement which is said to interest
some of the largest of the vessel own
ers, principally the Pittsburg, or Steel
corporation boats. As a result of the
friction It is claimed that the COM
pany will institute tie-up in the
spring. This would, it is claimed,
stagnate things in the Superior har-
Dor.

By AUGUSTA PRESCOTT.

IT. HE 1880 gill is bit out Of date.
And, 20 take her place. the girl
Il of 1850 has stepped to the fore.
They can her the wartime girl. this
girl Of 1860. And they study her ward
robe TO see how closely she had adhered
10 the styles Of the Lincoln days, the
lovely fashions before the war.
Those who have studied the fashions
Of the past century viii tell you that
there was a time when the styles were
exquisite. This was during the ten
years which exactly preceded the civil
war. From 1850 10 1850 American wo-
manhood had a wonderful fashion era
and the styles which were created then
were too beautiful ever TO go entirely
out OF memory.
Get out your old photograph albums
and turn the leaves 70 where mother
or grandmother stood forth in her best
gown 70 be taken" There were no in
Simultaneous photographs in those days.
and the result was that each picture
was posed with exceeding care. The
gown was smoothed until It had not
wrinkle nor fold. and the fair sitter OBJ
tanned a portrait which was a correct
likeness, not only of herself, but of her
gown as well.
Same as Worn Today.
And these are the fashions which are
the vogue today. These are the styles
which are being worn and will continue
to be worn the. following summer. On
the boardwalk you will see the 1850 girl
and you will find her in the drawing
room and in the ballroom.
All the best modistes are studying
the 1860 girl. and all the best designers
OF London and Paris are paving the way
for her to come and make long stay.
This girl, who deserves the name Of
the wartime girl. has a style that IS
quite her own. II Is distinct and in many
respects creative. IL IS different from
any other style, and II IS a style which
belongs 10 her exclusively. from the
crown Of her head TO the tip Of her toe
You cannot mix her up with the 1880
girl She Is too prettlly feminine, too
trim, too perfect.
An Era in Dress.
The 1880 girl, II must be remarked, is
al right She Is dain4y and pretty. but
she IS bit extreme. She came In
year ago, and founced her quecrly cut
gown before you But she could not
make herself quite popular. She was
hot distinctive. You were never sure

Gowns of 1860.
The Southern women of the 1860 days
were wonderfully well gowned. They
were famous then. and were quoted in
Paris, and they were also removed in
their own land. No great social func-
ton was complete unless a Southern
belle could be coaxed from Old Virginia
20 grace the occasion.
And now IL is the revival Of the South
ern girl, a revival OF the gowns Of the
Confederacy, a revival Of the dresses
that were worn in the 1860 days.
This period also brings in the Eugene
gowns, for the ex-Empress was very
much alive and very dressy In that
period. But the Empress Eugene was
just the least trife extreme, her gowns
were too extravagant and her fashions
a little too marvellous 20 become popular
Women could not afford them. And
those who could afford them were not
always willing to dress a la mode.
But with the gowns of the Confed-
eracy it was different. They were ut
terly charming. And they were not so
very extravagant, either Though the
Southern women of those days were
wealthy, they were economical and, new
er> in the 1850 days, was there as much
spent upon gowns as now.
Skirt of Wartime Girl.
The revival of the wartime girl brings
IN at once the full skirt. This skirt
can be cut in one Of three or four ways
1t can be a straight gored affair, made
by cutting so many lengths off a piece
Of goods and sewing them together, or
1t can be a skirt somewhat sloped
toward the belt line, or It can be a skirt
that is laid in side plaits all the way
around the hips.
In any case. it is shirred or tucked
gathered, or. in one way or another,
brought in 10 serve the purpose of max
ing the hips trim.
The women Of 1850 did not think # in
good taste TO outline the hips so sharply.
and the gowns were gathered upon the
belt. IL they were made Of thin wash
goods the gathers were scratched" to
make them lie evenly in place
But the modified wartime girl will
not consent to lose her most desirable
point. namely. her hip lines. so she has
her skirt laid In side plaits. or tucked,
or gathered. and while doing this. she
surreptitiously throws a little OF the
fuilness toward the back 1t is more
becoming SO. The skirt is a full skirt
but there is just a little more fuIlness
in the back than in the front-though
not much.
In One Way Alike.
In only one thing is the wartime girl
OF 1904 absolutely true to the wartime
girl of 1860. and this Is In the matter Of
length Of skirt The 1860 girl would as
soon have cut of her own daintiIy shod
feet as go out with a short skirt. And
so IT Is with the wartime girl OF 1904

next term OF the legislature II the
Democrats are in the majority, which
seems quite probable While he was
not a candidate at the last term yet he
was rendered almost half enough
votes necessary to elect him to that
position, but owing to the fact that he
was pledged to support another for
that place he refused to become a
candidate.
Greer county Democracy would be
proud of his election. This county
has always been the strongest Demo
cratic county in the territory and
naturally feels that It Is entitled to
