FOR MOUND DAY
Programme is Arranged BY state
superintendent of Schools
r. c. Miller.

State Superintendent of Free
Schools T. G. Miller, has just issued
the programme In his monthly bulletin
for the observance of Mound Day in
the public schools on November 9TH.
The programme consists of singing
the state anthem, an address by some
prominent speaker on THE Mound
Builders" and papers prepared by the
school students on why the day is OBJ
served, a description OF the mound as
it exists, and All historical sketch. It
is the idea, too, at this exercise TO
have the children to contribute to a
fund to be used in pur chasing the
mound, the price being $25, 1000. The
fund as collected viii be placed in
the nearest bank to the credit OF State
Treasurer Newton Ogdn, who viii
later draw upon the band and collect
the fund into one depository. When
each deposit is made, the idea is to
have the fact reported TO the depart
nent of schools, Charleston.

many of the imported French suits.
which, by the way, show a great
preference for rough fabrics

Black satin trims tailored cos
tunes of all colors, and self-color
satin is also much used. The new
est thing for this purpose is otto

heavy cord, and this Is being used by
some of the smartest designers. The
changeable ottomans deeply ribbed,
are in Paris applied to rever col
lars and cuffs, to waistcoats, and to
deep skirt-hems. Whole tailored
costumes are made up from otto
mans OF solid color, and long redin-
gotes OF this same silk-which Is un-
~doubtedly the fabric of the moment

White gloves are no longer con-
sidered the smartest wear unless
the costume be white likewise. The
latest idea is to match the gown with
glace OF suede gloves a shade lighter
than the material. With the long.

From The World Of Monday:

From The World OF Monday:
The people Of the northern end OF
Jefferson county were startled yester-
day to learn OF the suicide of James
Buchanon Lucas, a well known farm
er of that county, residing about two
miles south of Shepherdstown and be-
tween that place and Duffields.
Between IL and IL o'clock Sunday
forenoon members of Mr.. Brady Hen
ryfs family, who occupy the front part
of the Lucas house, heard a noise in
Mr.. Lucas room on the second floor
of the house as If some one had fallen
heavily to the floor. Upon inyestiga-
ton they found Mr.. Lucas lying on
the floor beside the bed with his
throat cut nearly from ear to ear with
a pocket knife that laid by his side.
He gave a gasp or two and expired.
Sheriff Gardner, of Charles Town,
vas notified, but as some or the Lucas
family thought that an inquest was
not necessary, it being a clear case OF
suicide, non was held by the cor
oner.
The cause of the rash act was tenn
porary insanity induced by excessive
alcoholism covering a period, it is
said, for a year or more.
The deceased vas 81 years or age
and was a native of Jefferson county.
He is survived by his wife residing in
Shepherdstown, from whom he had
separated about 10 years ago, and
four children: Armistead, in Pitts
burg; Rine, at home; Daniel, in Shep-
h~erdstown, and Mrs. Catherine Stehl,
of Centeryille, Md; also one sister
Miss Texie Lucas, i'm Shepherdstown.
The funeral will be held Tuesday
at 10 a. m. at the house and inter-
ment in the cemetery.

While the Goa and skirt suit has
In no wise gone out''--as indeed,
1t Is never likely to do, having made
itself quite as indispensable to the
majority of women as the separate
blouse-still there is a strong ten
dency toward the cloth dress worn
with ruche or boa for the autumn
street costume. Long. close sleeves
of cloth make this costume quite
practicable until up into the first
really cold days-and then comes the
fur coat.
Though every skirt is narrow and
more or less clinging. some varia-
ton Is still allowed, for there are
absolutely plain skirts and skirts
slightly draped-skirts gored or
with pleats introduced just below
the hips-skirts with fiat habit
backs and others with from one to
three pleats in the centre OF the
back. And 1t behooves every woman
to study with Jealous care her own
figure and general style before es-
saying any one of these, for with
most OF the present modes 1t is a
p~erilously short step from the smart
TO the absurd
: The princess skirt with high waist
line is again a feature of many of
the smart Goa and skirt suits, but
not. as formerly, snugly fitted to the
waist like a girdle, but merely car
rying the skirt up In the straightest
possible lines, its object being to
raise the waist. In many cases
trimming runs up the front Of these
princess skirts, the long straight coat
being cut away sharply below the
bust to show the trimmed front of
