MAIL-ORDER WAYS
A BID ADVERTISEMENT FOR
CATALOGUE HOUSES.
AT SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
Sooner or Later It Teaches Every Mai
Order Patron the Error OF
Sending His Money
from Home.

The methods of the mail-order
houses arc their worst advertisement.
Sooner or later there will come a time
in the experience Of every purchaser
Of their goods when he will wish "he
hadn't done it," when he will wish he
had spent his money with his home
merchants. This is not only because
he will see the ruin wrought in his
own community by the nefarious prac-
tice of sending the money of the com

PETrrcoATs OF THE MOMENT.
Different Styles and Materials Have
Their Admirers.

Pongee petticoats with embroidered
lounces are much worn and liked, be-
cause they not only give good service
and do not soil readily, but also may
be washed whenever they need be.
For the heavier hard wear skirt
mohair is still the usual choice, though
various part silk or mercerized stuffs
have put forward claims.
A mohair founce for wet weather or
rough wear may be attached to the
silk top of one of the adjustable
Aounce ~petticoats, and mohair %iounces
are sometimes joined to the wool or
silk Jersey skirt tops which are the de
light of many who want per
feet fitting p~etticoats without the
bother of having them made. Silk
flounces are, however, the usual thing
upon these jersey tops and it would be
hard to find a petticoat more satisfac'
tory for general service than one OF
these models.
Matinees and boudoir robes are al
ways associated with dainty petticoats
The Tupelo journal., 1907-03-15

For present wear, it has been fash
toned of all sorts Of materials from
cheviots to broadcloths. silks, chiffons
and v~elvets. The guimpe is %self-color
or h~armonizing with the frock and OF
a dressy material as silk, net lace or
chiffon.
The trimming employed on the
gown is often used ON the jumper, but
it is always in~dividualized by some
| distinct touch. The sleeves may be
of the fashionable kimono or Mikado
| genre, Sling" or just merely Gaping
| the shoulder or extending to within
an inch or two of the elbows. Or the
sleeves may be shaped circular or
gathered full, falling over the guimpe.
Again there are no sleeves at all,
merely a wide fold outlining the arm
hole.
A s~trikingly pretty little jumper
| gown was recently made for general
utility as the wearer expressed 1t.
The material was a fine, black
cheviot; the skirt plated about the
hips and stitched fat several inches
below the hips.
The bottom of the skirt was finished
with a deep hem. The jumper waist
was laid in three wide tucks that ex-
tended off the shoulder line, and three
little gilt buttons extended diagonally
| from the shoulders. The top of jump
err was cut in a deep U outlined by a
bias band of plaid taffeta with scarlet
perdominating. Directly in front was
a little band of finely plated silk with
| ~fan-shaped ends breaking the monot-
n of the plain band.
The guimpe of plaid taffeta was
laid in fine tucks, an inch wide band
| outlining a wee chemisette of bebe
Irish lace, finished by a double fold
of the silk. The sling sleeves were
bordered with bias bands of the tat
feta.
The little jumper waist of chenille
and velvet illustrated is n of the
prettiest of fancies seen in this line.
Quite striking is the skeleton jumper
of the black velvet forming bretelles.
The plaid jumper shows the very lat
est idea for bodice with japanese
blouse and sleeves.

The mating season is a time of
great excitement among the par
tridges, and generally extends over
a fortnight or three weeks, according
to the size of the stock and the pro-
portion of the sexes, says the Country
Gentleman. Should cocks preponder-
ate to an excessive degree, the bust
ness will not be settled till many a
pitched battle has been fought to the
bitter end, and the weaker males Ell
Their driven away or actually killed.
A cock partridge is so poorly armed
for the fray that it is a matter for
surprise he should be able to kill one
of his own kind, but if a battle is
watched there will no longer be cause
for wonder, once a bird recognizes
itself beaten it appears to make no
further attempt at defense, and tamely
submits to be scalped by it's successful
rival.
There is nothing in the whole ami
NAL world quite so craven as a beaten
partridge, for it seldom makes an eff
fort even to escape.

TRAVELLED TO GOOD TIME.
Something Really New in the Way OF
an Entertainment.

Those who were the recipients OF
the following invitation were excited
almost to the point of spontaneous
combustion before the night indicated
on the card arrived.
In spite of the Hepburn bill they
did not hesitate to accept these
passes:

Pass issued to Mr.. and Mrs. Blank, TO
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Grundy.
Good only on the 18th day of March.
From $50 until morning. Please appear

Every one entered into the spirit
of the occasion and arrived carrying
satchels, s~uitcases, shawl-strapped
bundles and a bird cage or two, not
forgetting band boxes. Linen busters.
wells and caps, ulsters and old-fash-
toned shawls added to the comical ap-
pearance of the guests. They were
met at the door by the host in a uni
form and carrying a lantern.
The walls were completely covered
with timetables and train bulletins,
which showed most of the trains
'late." The staircase bore a huge
sign marked baggage" and obliging
porters'' assisted the travellers" up
stairs.
On descending they went into the
"den,'' which had been converted into
a waiting room and ticket Office"
Here they received tickets" a dis
tinctive kind for men, each marked
with the station from which they were
to start. Passing through a turnstile,
they found their stations, or tables,
and promptly after the blast of a
whistle and the ringing of a bell the
train was off and the game was on. In
this case it was "Cinch."
There were the general interruption
of pewsboys, candy and popcorn
vendors, and a conductor punched the
score. All of a sudden the lights were
turned out, and a cry of robbers"
''hold-up men," etc., added to the con-
fusion. The lights were turned on, re-
vealing masked men, who in a most
gentlemanly manner proceeded to rob
the passengers. After this the game
continued, but there were pickpockets
in the room who kept things stirred
UP in a most amusing fashion. "Twen-
ty minutes were allowed for refresh
ments, which were served in railroad
style.
Prizes were distributed consisting
of a travelling drinking cups, umbrel-
la straps, a money bag, soap case and
toothbrush case and a shawl strap.
After this the unclaimed baggage"
was auctioned off and caused untold
merriment. These articles had been

evening Gowns 81. Rroeade.

The younger as well as the older
matrons, those recently married as
those with young daughters making
their appearance as d~ebutantes, show
this season a preference for brocades
for evening gowns. There Is much to
be said in favor of brocades. They
are rich, digniied, require little or no
trimming to make an effective ball
or dinner gown or to adorn an opera
box; they wear well, outlasting a
dozen perishable chiffon and tulle
creations, and they are handsome and
can be had in many designs and col
orings.
This season brocades having a satin
background, broken by leaves, flow
ers or designs in a different shade Of
heavier satin, are more worn than
other brocades by fashionable women.

A Turkish Health Report.

The French government, wishing to
obtain definite statistics on points re-
lating to certain Turkish provinces
recently sen blanks with questions
lating to certain Turkish provinces,
to be answered to the Provincial gov
errors. The replies received from
the Pasha Of Damascus are worth
quoting:
Question. What is the death rate
in your province?
Answer. In Damascus it is the will
of Allah that all should die. Some die
young and some die old.
@. What is the annual number of
births?
A. God alone can say-I do not
know, and hesitate to inquire.
@. Are the supplies of water suf-
ficient and of good quality?
A. From the remotest period no
one has died in Damascus of thirst.
General remarks as t o the local san
itation: Man should not bother him
self or his brother with questions
that concern only God.

Proper Accessories Needed if Get-Up
Is to Be Correct.

It cannot be doubted that a woman
is much more fastidious and much
more careful of her appearance if she
has the proper belongings on her
dressing table.
To have to rush around looking for
pins. to let the hair go half falling
down because no hairpins can be
found, to be unable to see the back of
ones gown because a hand glass is
missing will result in a careless get-up.
1t is every woman's business to look
well.
1t is her duty to be a rest for the
eyes of men in general, men who are
tired of locking at ugly things.
So while a woman need not make
her toilet the work of her life, she can
easily make it a success.
The quickest and best way to do
this is to furnish the toilet table prop
erly.

may use the mole on the back of his
neck for a collar button; he may ride a
freight to save 8 cents a mile; he may
light the lamp with a splinter to Save
matches; he may stop his watch at night
to ave wear; use a period for a semi
colon to ave ink, and pasture his grand
mothers grave to save hay, but a man
of this kind is a scholar and a gentle
man compared to a man who will take a
newspaper and when asked to pay for it
