SEPARATE COATS IN
LIGHT MATERIALS
ARE NOW IN ORDER.

Separate coats, less warm and heavy
than those of the winter season but
made upon similar lines, are appearing
with the southern models, and among
the prettiest of these are loose three
quarter or seven-eighth coats Of heavy
crepe de chine handsomely embroid-
cred or lace trimmed.
One perfectly severe coat and skirt
of white serge has plated skirt and
smoker coat whose lapels are faced
smoothly with heavy white silk. A
folded waistcoat, crossing in surplice
fashion and held by. two big silk
covered buttons, is of the silk, and the
blouse belonging to the costume is of
finest batiste, hand embroidered, val
enciennes frilled, and, with utter disre-
gard to the usual laws concerning
lingerie blouses, trimmed in bands and
buttons of the while silk.
The lingerie dress is a decorative
part of the gown collection of the
woman who, firing of bleak winter,
goes to meet the spring in company
with many members of the smart set,
Rumor has it that the fascinating lit
tie princess dress with square, V or
round neck and guiltless of sleeves,
will prove strong rival of the dainty
frock of white, blue or pink batiste
elaborately trimmed with valen
ciennes, cluny or mechlin lace com
bined with real or good machine en-
broideries. In all probability both
fashions will have a goodly degree OF
! success.

deux and embroidery applique from
the high waist belt to the neck. There
is no trimming below the ribbon run
beading which forms the belt, only
full widths Of the sheerest nainsook.
The valenciennes strips are applied
in an attractive lattice pattern, with
tiny diamond shaped pieces OF the
nainsook separating the lace bands.
The neck Of the gown Is cut in IL
Dutch square, with band of lace out
lining it; tiny beading heads this,
while inside is narrow frill of lace
to finish the neck. The beading is
run with ribbon, which ties in front.
Empire nightgowns invariably fasten
in front unless the neck is cut out
enough to allow it to slip over the
head.
At each side of the front is ap-
pliqued a flower medallion done in
fine needlework, and on each shoulder
IS another medallion a trife smaller.
This forms top for the new night
gown sleeve, which is shorter than
those that have been worn and is
shaped more like a circular cap than a
semi-fitted sleeve. A frill of lace fin
ishes the edge of the sleeves, and
above this, spaced an inch or more
apart, are two rows Of the lace inser-
ton. Extending from the upper hori-
zontal row are three vertical strips,
which connect the shoulder medallion
| with the cross bands of trimming. A
! quaint and picturesque air is impaired
| to this dainty bit OF lingerie by the
beading belt, which comes, in true en-
! pire fashion, just under the bust. 1t
| fastens in front with fancy ribbon
| bow.
Whether nightgowns are gathered
into belt after this fashion or not
| they are provided with full short
sleeves and they have the trimming
extending quite low. The entire tor
| of the gown, both front and back, may
be decorated with medallions and lace
and instead of having the necessary
| fullness gathered en- below the belt il
will be arranged by means Of clusters
of fine vertical tucks, which are laid
between the medallions and do not in
terfere with the design carried out
in the lace and embroidery.

embroidery not less than four inches
deep.
Dull green and dark blue velvet with
silver paillettes are materials highly
favored by women of fashion for even
ing gowns.
1t seems TO be assured that for
spring great deal of white will be
worn. both in toilettes and millinery,
frocks of fine white and cream cloths
being, in one or two notable instances,
much embroidered with silk braid.

use when once they are empty. A
velvet or silk pin-cushion can easily
be fitted into the top of the jug, and
ribbon bows in some bright color
should be tied round its neck. \
little tree twig should be fastened into
the center ot the cushion and will
serve as ring stand This twig might
be covered with gold paint, or be
painted some color to harmonic with
the shade chosen for the cushion and
the ribbon bows. 1t should be fixed
by few drops Of mucilage on the end
that penetrates the cushion.

Smothered to Death.

We learn from the Press.
Spectator that little Jimmie Mau.
pin, the 11.year.old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John B. Maupin, re.
siding at Lewis Mill, about IL
miles south of Salisbury, met a
tragic death Monday afternoon.
The little fellow, with his little
sister and other children, was
walking through the elevator.
In some unaccountable manner
he either fell or jumped into the
wheat pit and before assistance
could be given him he was
smothered to death.
John Westhoff, who recently
purchased the elevator from
John Wayland of Salisbury, and
who is now running it, was busy
about the office on the lower
floor. His attention was first at.
tracted by Johnnie's little sister
who came running down stairs
screaming and crying. Real.
izing that something must have
happened and without waiting
to ascertain the cause, Mr.. West
hoff Immediately threw off the
main belt and stopped the ma.
chinery.
The little girl then told him
that her brother had fallen into
the bin and was covered with
wheat. MIR. Westhoff tried in
vain to reach the little fellow;
but could not do 90. He had
gone in feet first and his feet
had choked up the spout and
this caused the wheat to acoum.
ulate faster than otherwise.
When it was seen that rescue in
trying to reach him from the top
was impossible, an ak was pro.
cured and a hole chopped into
the bin from underneath, per-
mitting the grain to run out.
All this took time and when
finally released the little fellow
was dead. His untimely death
caused great sorrow in the
neighborhood, and the parents
have the heartfelt sympathy oi
the entire community.
The remains were laid to resi-
Tuesday afternoon in the Glas.
gov cemetery.

FOLKS KERN SPEECH.

The Folk rooters will hardly be
q bic to make any !ospital out of
the fact that the Missouri dele.
cation, with the exception of one
man from Maryville, Ben F.
L ettis, did not take part in the
Grafton given Governor j. w.
F ok at the recent national Dem.
o cratic convention at Denver,
when he went to the platform to
second the nomination of Hon.
John w. Kern of Indiana for
ice.president.
1t was only by the grace OF
Senator Stones friends, who were
largely in the majority at the
Missouri state Democratic con.
vention, that Governor Folk was
sent as delegate. at. large to the
n ational Democratic convention,
and it was also by the grace of
Senator Stones friends that
Governor Folk was electad by
the Missouri delegation, which
stood % for Stone and 8 for
Folk, as q member of the COM
mittee on permanent organiza.
ton at the Denver convention,
receiving practically the same
consideration as Senator Stone.
Hon. Jas. A. Reed of Kansas
City had been elected as chair.
man of the Missouri delegation,
and by virtue of that fact it was
bis duty, in the absence OF an
agreement to the contrary, to
act as spokesman for the Mis-
souri, boys. Yet, entirely with.
out their knowledge, when Flor.
ida was reached in the roll
call of states for seconding
sp eeches for the nomination OF
vice. president, a Mr.. Jennings
of that state, an uncle of VIM. j,
B ryan, announced that Florida
y ielded to Governor Folk of Mis-.
souri,. Whereupon, Governor
Folk went to the platform and
8 econded Kern's nomination for
vice. president.
Not knowing the purpose for
W hich Governor Folk had taken
the platform, it was but natural
that the Missouri delegation de.
olined to take part in the ovation
that was given the governor.
So, instead of having fairly
obta ined the opportunity to Sec
ond Kern's nomination, Governor
