HAND EMBROIDERY A FEATURE

Hand embroidery is a feature of the
most charming Of the new models, 1t
appears in dainty touches on street and
visiting toilettes, and to a far greater
extent on some Of the more elaborate
dinner and reception costumes. Crepe
de chine takes embroidery most effec-
lively, as anyone who has observed the
japanese embroideries on crepe can
testify. A handsome dinner gown is
of one seam crepe de chine In a pale
lemon tint, the double width material
being necessary for satisfactorily car
rying out the flowing lines of the skirt
The skirt falls in plain straight folds,
Its one decoration being the heavy rose
pattern embroidered in fine flo silks,
the garlands or sprays scattered irregu-
larly from the hem to about knee
depth. The embroidery is in the exact
shade of the crepe de chine, this match
ing Of the silks to the fabric color being
feature Of the finest work. The
bodice is n draped effect over a fully
feather-boned lining, the sleeves or
shoulder puffs ending in frills of lace
and capped with lace epaulettes. A
distinctive feature is the silk and vel
vet petaled roses disposed OF on the
shoulder and bustline Of the bodice,
these matching in shade the roses on
the skirt-Washington Times

Electric Lights Meeting.

Mr.. FELTON,, who is president and gener'
al manager of the Piedmont Electrical
Co., which erected the plant at Branch
vile, spent last Friday in the cityiD con.
sultation with Mayor G. Moye Dickinson
As a result of his visit, Mayor Dickinson
has called a mass meeting of the citizens
of the town to assemble in the opea house
this Thursday afternoon at five O'Clock
to discuss the question. At this meeting
it is proposed to 90 thoroughly into the
matter and find out what the people want
Mr.. FELTON, will spend the day in town
and will be present at the meeting.
Mayor Dickinson is taking much inter
est in the matter of public Improvements
and has been in correspondence with
number of parties. Butt the Mayor and
council must know what our people
want before they can act intelligently.
Some people want lights and water and
some only the lights. Then some want
the town to own the light plant and some
want the contract given to private par
ties. So it was thought best to call this
meeting and talk the matter over and
decide on some definite plan of action
So turn out, tax payers, and let your
views be known. Don't wait till som
plan is formulated and then 60 to kick

An Unpleasant Encounter.
Mrs. Robert Moxley, Of Piedmont,
who has been visiting Mrs. C. NJ. Nc.
Knight, Of Merchant street, and 9th.
er friends in the city, met with an ex.
citing encounter yesterday morning
that appears inexcusable. While on
her way over the river to DR.. Nc.
Kay's ONCE to have some dentistry
done, she met a man with a wagon.
load OF coal on the bridge, accompa.
MED by a large vicious looking dog.
AS she approached, It stopped in
front as II guarding the dead line be.
yond which she dare not pass in safe.
ty, n then gave an upward stare
into her face, which filled her with
sudden fright as she viewed the un.
expected and u%nprepared for situa.
ton. An old lady in the meantime
following close behind her and seeing
her dilemma began to scream out
frantically for her to rum, as the dog
was going to attack her. And her
prophecy came all 100 true, for at
the same moment the dog made a
leap up and caught her by the limb.
tearing a great rent in her silk dress
with Its teeth which badly disfigurcd
1t to say the least. BY reason of the
combined creams of the women and
the excitement which prevailed, the
dog released Mrs. Monkey, when she
went on to the Office and there ex-
planned the cause of her p%redicament.
But while there, seemingly unnotic-
ed. she frequently gave evidence of
pain suffered by reason of the inju-
] e she had received. She left on
the afternoon train for Piedmont, but
doubtless will long remember her
thrilling encounter with the dog upon
the bridge. The occurrence is mex.
cusable first from the fact that such
a viciously inclined dog should not be
permitted to run at large within the
city unmuzzled; and second, because
the man looked on and made no effort
by either word or action t. prevent its
attack, SO the woman asserts. And
even though she may have escaped
serious injury, yet the fact is patent
to all that. the thoroughfares OF a city
is no place for such a class of dogs.
