New York. Sept. 26-As the season
 progresses it becomes more than ever
 evident that certain modified Direct
 oire features will continue to prevail In smart frocks throughout the winter,
 but that the pure Directoire style will appear in harmonious combinatloh
 with features borrowed from the styles
 of other periods.
 That clinging skirts. shortened waist
 sleeves and long coats of nearly
 straight lines will be in vogue all
 through the coming winter. there is no doubt. but 1t Is practically impossi-
 bIe to predict the various deviations and combinations which will charac-
 terize fashion during the cold season.
 The incroyable and pure Directorie
 style in coats. though pronounced in
 the early domestic models. seem in the
 best Paris houses. to be giving way to straight. limp. long linSs of no partic-
 ular period. This coat may retain cer-
 tain DIrectoire features. particularly
 in connection with the collar and
 waist line. but Louis XIV. ideas enter
 into the schemes in the shape of big trimmed pockets and of frills falling over the hands.
 Some of the latest Paris models also
 show a slight narrowing of the should
 CTS, which corresponds with the style
 of the Louis XIV. period, sbut on the
 whole the long shoulder lines prevail. the shoulder curve being. however. clearly defined and the sleeve set into
 the armhole with little or nc fullness. Some of the smart coat sleeves. espe- | ciaIly in the coats of severe tailored | type, are set In smoothly. like the sleeves of mans coat. Others have a 1 little more fullness. but are adjusted with smoothly pressed gores. so that | there is no fullness around the arm hole.
 The length of the coat sleeves varies | from three quarters and -eighths to the long and ultra long. The last with or without fiaishing frills fall 1 ing over the hands Is the most advanc- ed. but many women prefer the shorter sleeves and the latter will be seen a

great deal during the coming winter.
 Some charming tea gowns and house frocks are to be seen in the shops just now. Long draped skirts in Liberty, moussel!ne de soie or velvet with chas- ubles. stoles and tunics of embroidered net edged with fringe or gilt em- broidery are the most striking feat ures of nearly all these gowns. One particularly handsome model. import ed from Paris. was of a reddish brown velvet In it's skirt part. while the long. transparent coat of net was of the same shade edged with soutache. The sleeves were long and underneath the corsage pale green tlnts disclosed themselves. Around the waist were three gathers run through with a gilt cord.
 Sleeveless lace coats are worn a great deal at present over evening gowns. They are of as many styles and types as the numerous webs and long range of shapes permit One of the handsome models shown the other day at a fashionable function had a robe of corn-colored crepe de chine in- set with lace. A hree-quarteIelength sleeveless coat of cream -colored filet darned with yellow silk. completed the rich creation The separate coat has reached the height of its popularity, aLd 1t Is being fashioned of many un- usual materials. Taffeta and supple satin are equally popular. Batiste. for the first time in the history of the fable. Is making up coats to be worn with silks and voiles. Black velvet and black satin is used lightly on a majority of the batiste models and up- on some of the fancier models of pom padour silk Irish lace also Is some- times sparingly used. but the plainer coats are in better taste. their effect iveness being left to their lines and their artistic colorlngs.
 Embroidered and jewelled clasps and buckles are quite popular at present as an ornamentation of smart gowns. They can be made the most picturesque feature of an otherwise simple gown or they may give the finishing touch to a frock of great magnifcence. But

tons also are used quite layishly, though not always in the very best of taste. The matter of applying buttons Is not so simple as 1t may seem. Their effect upon the lines of the coat must be carefully studied and there should be at least some apparent reason for their presence Lamentable exhib- ftions of bizarre frocks. recklessiy spattered all over with buttons of con- trasted colors, have been feature of the past summer season and the ma kers of autumn frocks should profit by these summer failures. Long lines of self color buttons and button holes following the line of opened coat skirt seams. coat fronts, outside sleeve seams. skirt fronts etc. are usually effective and in good tasto. Besides Luttons, great variety of but ton-like ornaments. nat rosettes. ca- bochons and little rosettes with pend- ants hanging from their centers are also used to great advantage. Braid ornaments in an endless variety of forms form another striking feature of many imported autumn models.
 1,mong the shirt waists designed for autumn and early winter use are some of heavy linen in white or in plain light or dark colors. They are apparently almost tight fitting for the reason that the two deep side pleats crossing the outer ends of the should CTS are stitched fatly to the waist and there is scarcely any fullness under the arms. The fronts close blindiy 9 little toward the left side by means of an irregularly shaped band that IS decorated with four large pearl but. tons, the sleeves are of the small shirt type. pleated into the armsize and fn- ishcd with turn-back cuffs and there is a turnover collar which fastens with fan-pleated muslin r4bat. Fancy wool braid of the scalloped or point ed order is used for the garnfshing of some of the challis shirt waists, which are to be worn this winter under run about street suits. as they are decided ly warmer than those of linen and launder equally as well.
 Novel shades are conspicuous among elaborate evening robes and wraps. The blues, with a tinge of green in them seem to predominate. Canard blue is perhaps the most unusual shade for coats It resembles peacock blue and comes in lighter and darker shades. The shade known as ducks egg.

grayish, cloudy blue, will also be worn a great deal. Then there is national blue, that is quite similar to navy blue. but a tride more brilliant. Browns rank next to blue in favor andTccme in many shades, from dull orange through burnt orange to shade that is almost a tobacco brown. One of the most notable features in the trimming of hats at the present time are the large wings and feather ed bandeaux, or Pocahontas effects. that encircle the crown and in some in- stances droop over the back of the brim. Several pairs of wings are used and the artistic way in which they are put on is quite pleasing.

 The State Conference twill convene at Anniston. December ?. and the pros pect of the fullest assembly of D. A. R in the history of the society in Ala bama brings to us the largest encour- agement and inspiration flor the fu ture.
 Within the next two months the Sta'e dues from every Chapter must be for warded to our Treasurer Mrs. J. c. Street. Opelika. Rallies to the rolls of membership should be instituted. that the Chapter Regents may offer their re- ports to the Conference with sense of commendable pride.

 Messrs. Editors:
 In The Sun of Sunday, March 1, I read with much interest the article Famous Virginia Clan and Some of Its Sons. The Scotts were Lawyers. Wits. Politicians and Fighting Men" all Of which is true. However, there is little mistake in the article whteh I should appreciate your correcting, and that Is as follows: Judge John Scott of Fauquier County. Virginia, married Elizabeth Pickett, the youngest daugh- ter of Martin Pickett and his wife. Ann Blackwell. and not daughter of Thomas Gordan. as the article stated However. believe Judge John Scott's mother was Miss Gordon. but I am not positive of that But I am posi- tive of the fact that he married the aforesaid Elizabeth Pickett and that they were the parents of Robert E. Scott. Col John Scott and Martin Pickett Scott They also had two daughters-Maria Scott. who married Arthur Morson. son of Judge Morson. of Fredericksburg. Va. and Margaret Scott, who married Robert Lee nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee
 Gen. George E. Pickett was a second cousin of the aforesaid Scott brothers their grandfathers. Martin Pickett and George Pickett, being brothers.

fore. Believing that the turkeys had
something to do with 1t, decided to
try them again. In 1906 l raised rs
turkeys and they ran In IL acres OF a
field of 20 acres that I had planted
to cotton. This was a bad year for
boil worms.
1.-The IL acres where the turkeys
stayed made bale to the acre, or
third more than the remainder of the
same field, where the turkeys were
not allowed to run, showing that the
boil worms and other insects had cut
down the crop one-third on the land
where the turkeys had not run. In
the II acres where they spent the sea-
son l did not see a single sign of boil
worms during the season. This was
proof enough for me.
ANY man can regulate the drove OF
turkeys according to the size OF his
cotton field, but the bigger the drove
of turkeys he has the more profit there
will be. The black turkey is the best
for the farm. They are harder and
better rustlers, while the toms when
fully grown weigh Is pounds, and If
shipped at the right time bring from
So to SO on the market"
Mr.. McElhaney states that not only
are the boil worms eaten by the tur-
keys, but the fields are kept clean
from all other insects, and any practi-
cal farmer realizes the tremendous
value of such a condition. - Fort
Worth Record.

A correspondent of an Eastern farm
paper makes the following terse state
ment:
Ii one is on small place and wants
to go into Intensive" farming, l know
of no better combination of industries
than poultry, fruit, gardening and bees
or pet live stock. Get some good
breed of hens and keep up to date on
your prices. If possible, give your
poultry free range and see that your
coops and pens are free from rats,
one of the worst enemies the hen has.
1t has long been said that poultry and
gardening go well together. Straw
berries or tomatoes are profitable and
always find a ready market. 1t is
better to fence in the garden or your
poultry will make sad havoc with the
ripe fruit. If one has liking for
bees. honey is always in demand at
good price. 1t is well, however, to
learn the methods from some one who
has had success with them.

Cooler weather is the handspring of the

bling trade reported at most cities this
week. Additionally helpful features have
been the numerous fairs and festivals,
which have enlarged distribution locally
at man. points.
While there are reports of holding crops,
notably at the South, where prices are
much lower than a year ago, the crop
movement is liberal as a whole. Reports
from industries are rather better as a
whole. Good reports come from, the llm-
Der trade South and West. and a good
volume of building is going forward.
Election uncertainties arc reported AT

cool weather has helped the coal trade
