The passion for net as a material for
making frocks or trimming them has found
expression in a unique costume shown at
one of the French shops recently. The
gown is a white batiste morning frock,
which seems considerably out Of place at
this season unless one contemplates a trip
to the most torrid of chimes or else passes
ones mornings in the overheated atmos-
phere of the modern city apartment. The
dress gives an appearance OF extreme SIM
plicity, it's only trimming being large
quantity of guipure insertion, with which
a design is worked out on waist and skirt.
The novel part of the costume was that
the guipure had no design whatever, but
was simply q handsome net about three
quarters of an inch wide This being used
with the batiste produced an exceedingly
airy and simple effect. The suit was on the
shirt waist order, made with paneled
skirt and shirt waist. The waist had a
yoke trimmed with the insertion put on in
circular rows, the collar being made in the
same fashion. The rest of the waist was
trimmed with the guipure put on In large,
graceful loops.
The front panel of the skirt was trimmed
with three rows of guipure. as was also
the fiounce winch finished the skirt.

shoes which were so fashionable last win
ter for street wear. Perhaps the harvest
of pneumonia, grip and kindred ills which
followed that perilous fashion has taught
even the madcap maidens who pursued 1t
lesson. One rarely sees nowadays what
was so common sight year ago; that Is
a young woman wrapped in furs and vel
vets, with her head and face protected by
heavy hat and wells, her hands buried in a
muff, and, In fact suitably attired for
cold, blustery day with the exception of
feet and ankles, which, in the thinnest of
silk or Isle stockings and the lowest Of
ball room pumps, braved the wlntry storm.
Besides the red and black boots those of
gray and black tan and black black and
white. ETC., are also fashionable. The
black and white boots have the uppers of
white, and the tan and black also have
the lighter color for the tops, as do also
the gray and black. There are most at
tractive boots also with the lower part Of
tan leather and the uppers Of the softest
brownish gray ooZe.
In evening slippers and under shoes gen.
orally there Is great variety. Bronze slip
pers are very attractive, with embroidery
of bronze and gold beads across the toe.
The pumps and slippers are also made of
ooze in all colors and trimmed with
bucdles, single roses. tiny wreaths of flow
ers and bead embroidery. Ball room slip
pers of satin and brocade are decorated
with gold and silver ornaments, rhinestone
buckles, colored jewel buckles and orna-
ments or little wreaths of flowers. They
are also embroidered all over with pearls
or gold seQuins.
One of the most fashionable accessories
to bridesmaids costumes at present are
the Alsatian bows for the hair. These are
especially suitable for young girls, either
on the occasions of weddings or for evening
functions. They are exceedingly dashing
in appearance and yet very simple and
are much more becoming to young girls
than feather OF aigrette ornaments, while
they are also newer though not more be-

THIRST Of all, because it is probably
most useful to the greatest number
Of women, is the new bed box
which has just been invented by a New
York firm which devotes itself exclusively
to turning out convenient arrangements for
the disposal of ones wardrobe. The bed
box is one of the most practical and useful
things ever invented, especially for women
who live in small rooms who for other
reasons are obliged to make use of every
inch of space for their clothes.
The box Is square and about half as deep
as it is wide, which makes it just the right
size to fit easily under a single iron or
brass bed. 1t has four divisions and four
lids. 1t is set on ball-bearing rollers. so
that gentle push will send it whirling
around and bring the desired compart-
ment to the edge Of the bed. where it can
be opened without pulling out the box.
Everybody who has ever been forced to
keep boxes for clothes under the bed will
realize what boon box SO easily handled
would be. Generally ordinary boxes used
in this manner cause as much loss Of tenn
per to women as the ordinary collar button
loss does to men.
The box is also made very tight in
weight, which adds to Its perfection. The
framework is of light wood, the sides and
top being covered with Powered chintz
The sides are not solid, but have uprights
Of wood at intervals to keep them from
sagging In. That part of the woodwork
which shows is painted in enamel white.
Altogether the box is as attractive in ap-
pearance as it Is convenient for use.

Concerning shortage he said that there were often shortages through selling at the box office when there was a big rush. people throwing down their money and the ticket seller sometimes getting hold of the wrong ticket and that in the rush, unless there was instant discovery the cor rection could not be made. But he de- nied that there had ever been any in tentional overcharge. Concerning the complaints Of the public. he said there were often misunderstanding in this way.

He would hold up a ticket he had paid $I.50 for perhaps, and ask the price of it when the employe would reply 5S1.0o, either thinking the question a trivial one. or basing his answer on some knowledge of a previous show when the price of a

 We want to make a statement to this effect: That we did not demand such prices as Mir. Sanichas put on some of his tickets for last evenings s performance.

 Concerning Murray X Mack NIT. Sanichas said that they did have trouble in the settlement with NIT. Leslie both this year and last year. He said that a year ago the contract with the company was that the house should receive 25 per cent. but when the time came for settlement MT. Les lies contract showed only twenty Der cent. The copy Of the contract held by MT. Berger could not be found and there was nothing to do but settle on the twenty per cent basis.
 This year MT. Sanichas said he was on the lookout and was determined not to get the worst of it. He said that when NIT. Leslie was ready for a settlement he demanded his percent age on the basis of g. for all the par auet seats, notwithstanding he had been informed in the evening before Inc performance that all those seats were sold at SIjO. MT. Sanichas said that when he refused to settle on that basis Mir Leslie threatened him with physical violence and he told him to proceed. but he did not do so. and the settlement was finally adjust ed. He claims now that Mir. Leslie is interested in giving currency to the stories that there was an overcharge for seats.

GRADED SCHOOL ANNEX.
Work Commenced Last Week on New
$40. 900 Building.

Work was commenced last week
on the annex to the graded school
building. Mr. E V Richards is the
architect and the contract has been
let to MrW r Grimes. 1t is only a
few years since Kingstree built a
$4,000 school building, which was
thought entirely adequate for years
to come. But such was not the
case, and it became necessary to
build this annex almost as large Us
the original structure. The new
building will cost about $4,000,
and from the plans exhibited, it
will be quite handsome addition.
All this denotes d healthy growth

on a basis of educational facilities
