Crimson Ties With Eveninu Dress.

Hereafter when we say that q man is
attired in the conventional evening
dress at any social function, it will not
of necessity mean that he is CARRIED
wholly in sombre black with only the
broad eXpanse of n white shirt front to
relieve the monotony. 1t is decreed in
the swell summer set at NewpOrt-and
Harry Lehr the famous mOnkey-man
of the Four Hundred, has set the fash
ion-that a red or crimson tie may be
worn in place of the usual black bow
which has prevailed for so many years.
A famous Chicago alderman has tried
to change the fashion in evening
clothes by appearing in pink trousers
and crimson dress coat, or orange
trousers and coat of robins egg blue,
and various other combinations, hut he
has had the distinction of being alone
in his particular style. The Newport
innovation, the crimson tie with eve
ming dress, is less radical and may be-
come popular among the many men
whom merciless fashion has kept in
allegiance to black ties all their lives.
1t is most unfair that fashion should
allow sbciety b..ds and queens such a
wide latitud9s Sf evening dress and

1T is APPRECIATED.

The News and Observer wishes thus
publicly to extend its sincere thanks to
many friends for messages of approval of
its course in the McBee-F Finch conspiracy
matter. Never in the history of the pa
Fer did it have an opportunity TO do so
valuable public service. 1t is gratifying
to know that its earnest opposition to
the conspiracy is approved by the
thoughtful people of the State. One of
the ablest men in Western North Caro-
lima in a private letter, received yester-
day, says your fight in the McBee re-
ownership was superb and will rebound
to the interest of the News and Observer
and the Democratic party"
One of the leading men in Piedmont
North Carolina writes:
THE public is under renewed ohiiga-
tiOns to you. While so many other pa
pers in Raleigh and elsewhere We're either
aiding and abetting McBee's high-handed
proceeding or remaining silent while the
State was being despoiled or her rights
the News and Observer was true to her
high mission and to the States honor.
1.-The men who decried your efforts
must be hanging their heads in shame
now. To think too that some of them
essay to direct the religious thought and
public morals of North Carolina!
You have again demonstrated the
value of the News and Observer and its
right 10 our support
Such expressions are highly appreciated.
This paper never doubts that if it stands
courageously for the right it will have
the approval of the great bulk of the
North Carolina people. '"Trust the peo-
pie" is what all public men and journals
should do
