was bitter night, and each time the cur

us and shivered In our low dresses, for 1t
had been officially announced that hats
would not be permitted in the stalls, and
most people proflted by the unusual oppor-
tunity to wear full evening dress. There
were many sensational costumes, among
them gown of white crystalline, having its
skirt incrusted with medallions of venetian
point lace, embroidered with pearls and
tiny gold spangles. The bodice, almost
concealed beneath a deep bertha of en-
broidered lace. was relieved with sprays of
shaded pink laburnum worked In raised
comet ribbon. A charming CONNECTION 1t

Today fashion ordains that with the simple
and classical cut of our gowns every atten-

that the smart woman now seeks the only
relief for her evening toilet
Mile. Avril of the Vaudeville has launched
a charming novelty in this direction: that
of putting in the tresses tropical flowers
in the stunningest shades Of red. This
petite lady Is a fascinating brunette; hence

consists of pinkish red blossoms that re-
senlble camelias. They are placed one on
each side of the forehead and are connected

black crepe de chine gown slightly spangled
with Jet, the effect is lovely.

foundation Is soft green beaver, and the
palest possible green velvet covers the
crown. and also extends out from the crown
over the fve-inch brim to within an Inch
and a quarter of it's edge; 1t Is then
stitched down twice. Soft folds of green
velvet matching the color Of the beaver
are laid around the base OF the crown,
extending two-thirds of the way to the
top. There is no bow visible. but at the
right side round, open buckle In silver
holds down the base of two shaded, pale
green ostrich plumes, the ends being con-
cealed by the velvet. One of the plumes
curls up against the crown top, and ex-
tends out over the back of the brim, with
a slant to the left. The other plume slants
out bit to the right, and then turnbies
down over the brim. The bandeau Is COW

chous of shaded pale green velvet sinu-
Iating roses form a short cachepeigne. The
hat is set almost straight on the head,

All-white hats are seen in the evening,
but these usually show a bit of color In
plume or flower.
Nevertheless, the hat of the same color
as the costume, but in different shades,
is extremely artistic, and IL smart as Well;
the petite woman will do well to cling
TO this mode unless she wishes TO en-
phasIze her lack of stature, and a bright
colOred chapeau or one differing greatly
from the gown is sure to do this. Curious

emphasize lack Of height, but rather the
excess of It, though the former IS far
more fetching.

NEW YORK, December Q, 1905.
FHE latest Partisan creations In
millinery are much more arts
tic and therefore handsomer
than those of the summer and
autumn. One sees with pleasure
the disappearance of the ridiculous, slant
ing little hat, tilted over the face, short
at the front and long at the back. from
the wardrobe of the fashionable woman
and its relegatlon to those who succeed
to a fashion as soon as the modish world
has discarded It.
A number OF smart dressers never sue
eumbed to the novelty of these tilted Cd
dties and they were wise In their day
and generation, for not only did these
chapeaus presuppose youth and prettiness
in their wearers. but a perfection of colt
fure seldom attained in America. Your
Partisan alone understands the art of re-
tanning each Marcel wave at its perfec-
ton of artifciallty. and she alone knows
how to secure each straying end that

Whenever an invalid is able to engage in
light tasks, such as knitting, making patch
work, helping child with a puzzllng lesson,
or any other occupation that is not too tax
ing, the ennui OF the situation will be great
ly lessened. Idleness and folded hands are
terribly fatiguing. One would better get
little overtired from attempting something
perhaps a bit beyond her strength than be
tired out because there has been nothing to
do. One of the weariest experiences of IN
validism comes from being laid aside, seeing
the procession go by, and realizing that one
is out of it.
If the invalid Is fond of music the door of
the room may be set open so that she may
not lose the strains of violin or piano when
player Is in the house. For many years
a woman once brilliant as a rose in bloom
lay chained to a couch, unable to move hand
or foot, cared for by a devoted husband and
by nurses who relieved one another, her
mind all the time splendidly dominant over
her attenuated frame and her tortured
nerves. One thing she was always able to
enjoy, and that was music. So never a day
passed that music was not heard In her
former on an instrument or the singer in
the drawing room below might cheer her
with the numbers she loved. Her room was
a bower of beauty and dream of harmony
in tint and adornment, and 1t was so placed
that only sweet sounds ever entered IL.
Another invalids chamber was different
from this. For 1t had no luxury, and was
bare to austerity. 1t was in home of pow
erty. The divan On which the invalid spent
her daylight hours was near window
which commanded view of a busy street
This woman was also able to hear music,
and canary sang for her in its cage. and
sometimes she heard q street piano or an
organ as wandering minstrel passed the
door below.
Every invalid cannot listen to music.
There are many to whom 1t would be tor
ment rather than pleasure. When this is
the case every sound should be hushed and
children taught to tread lightly when they
walk by the closed door. At first, when one
thinks of it. 1t seems rather hardship that
children should be required to moderate
their Innocent glee and repress their spirits
in the season of life when Joy Is natural and
should be unchecked. and yet 1t Is not bad
training in that gentleness and unselfsh-
ness which will make them loyelier by and
by

Cold Weather.

The weather Of the past week is
the coolest ever experienced in
this section at this season of the
year. There were frosts for sew
eral mornings and thin ice was
reported Sunday morning. Fol-
lowing the severe winter the re-
cent spell will very nearly de-
stroy the last of the peach crop
which is thought to have been al
most ruined during the months
of January and February. Other
fruits have been badly damaged
and a full crop cannot be looked
for. Vegetables that cannot
stand frost have been cut down
and will have to be replanted.
Cotton is so late that it escaped,
but in ordinary seasons it would
have been caught. Only in few
instances has planting been done.
Corn that was up nipped but will
come out again and make good
corn.

Mississippl's Progress.

while all the Southern states
have made long strides in indus
trial and commercial fields during
the past few years, few of them
have made as much progress
comparatively as has Mississippi
The good people of that resource
full state have awakened to their
possibilities, and they are more
busily engaged in the develop
ment of their state than ever
before. Facts collected by the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record
Of late indicate a prosperity in
Mississippi that speaks well for
the enterprise of it's citizens and
for the confidence they feel in
the future development of one
of thes.richest states in natural re-
sources in the South.
The above from the Birming-
ham News of Monday shows that
the state Of Mississippi is attrac-
ting attention from every source
For many years her citizens
failed to appreciate the opportu-
mites presented right at home
for good investments and did
not know the real value of their
lands. Within the past few
years they have awakened
to the realization that their
farm lands were of much great
er value than any Of the cotton
growing states and prices advanc-
ed rapidly. The demand for
farms in Mississippi was never
so great and a man who wants
to sell has only to price his land
and he finds a purchaser without
delay. AS to enterprises that
have been located in the state
We don OF know of a single one
that has failed for the past ten
years with natural advantages
of location and good business
methods they all succeed.

State Adoption Of School Books

Pursuant to the directions of
the law passed by the last leg
islature Governor Vardaman has
appointed a commission to select
a set Of textbooks to be used un-
iformly in the public schools
throughout the state. There was
a long fight before public senti-
ment cr~ystalized in favor of such
a departure, but the demand was
finally made and the representa-
tives of the people passed a law,
which in our judgment, will re-
suit in a great saving to the peo-
pie. It has been contended that
the uniform system is subject to

that it should not work as well

as the system of the county adop-
ton. The commission of gentle
men who will make the selection
will not be tempered with by
agents representing any combi-
nation that seek to bleed the
people of the state, but through
sealed bids will receive PROPOSE
tons to supply the state schools
with books. The law prescribes
certain rules by which the COM
mission shall be governed and
following these they cannot make
a mistake. When the books are
adopted every school from Alcorn
to Hancock county and from
Itawamba to Washington will use
the same books. The simple fact
that a family moves across a
county line will no longer make
it necessary for the head of it
to buy new books to get his
children again in school. Let the
commission use proper diligence
and the children will be supplied
with a better class and cheaper
books than ever before.

Statements that larger sales of
fertilizers have been made this
year than last are based on the
impression gained by the large
distributions that have been
made in the short time since
sales began. For the crop of
1904 distribution of fertilizers
began as early as the fall of 1908
Cotton was sold and returning
wagons loaded with fertilizers
to save hauling. Sales this year
did not begin until March.
March and April Of this year
cover the time distribution Of
all the sales made for the pres
ent crop and the impression goes
out that sales are larger than
usual. Large plants now admit
that their sales have not been SO
large as last year. In converse
tion with one Of the largest deal

he stated that he had not sold as
much as last year up to the
present time. The reports that
the sales have been larger than
IN former years comes from the
