Combinations of Color.

After all there Is nothing more i'm
lortant in costume than combina-
ton of color. for no matter how rich
the material, If the colors do not har-
mon!ze the gown viii, be wrong.
For this reason, brown and gold have
remained so very popular. as have
also smoke gray and silver.
A charming tea gown is Of silver
grey crepe de chine, made empire
and finished with yoke ano sleeves
of white Oriental lace which is net
embroidered in heavily raised dots
The gown hangs straight and un-
trimmed from bust to hem,. where
it has a band of silver braid.
A tea gown of bro VI chiffon vel
vet is made in rather si;impy style
cut in slightly al the waist line, while
the yoke and slee- es ere c. ecrL net
heavily embroidered with gold
thread At the 'oot the gown
is a band of the same embroidered
filet, only the thread extends over
the edge of the net in places and
makes a pretty curve on the velvet.
Ecru is always an attractive color
and so is champagne, and both COM
bine beautifully with deep golden
brown. Blue is the hardest of all
colors to trim, but Its own color In
lighter or a darker shad. is always
a safe combination.

Straight Hair Remedy.

Straight hair Is the bane OF a
girls existence. and her lucky sis
ter who was born with naturally
wavy locks does not realize the az,
ony the girl with the straight hair
endures.
A good solution Is the white of
an egg mixed with an equal amount
of rose water and few drops of
some fragrant perfume. Then the
hair should be slightly shampooed
with the mixture before wrapping
around the curriers'. Left until
thoroughly dry, then brushed gently
the hair will be Savy, with soft
sheen on 1t. besides looking light
and fluffy. and the w-ve will remain
permanent in spite % rain and fog

been done.
tried to get the family mileage
books fxed at two cents, but the rail-
roads contended with some force, that
this would virtually put a rate of two
cents in vogue in the State, which was
too low, so the State agreed to the
2 Ia cent rate-the railroads on their
part agreeing to pay $17, 500 towards
liquidating the expenses of the State
in converting the Legislature. and for
court costs.
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee, and probably Virginia, will
have the same rates-thus giving a

STATE SHOULD BE JUST.
Charlotte Observer.

There is nothing essentially inn
proper in an arrangement between
the railroads and the State as to the
costs resulting from litigation that is
being practically compromised be-
tween them. But the OF the
extra session of the Legislature is an
entirely different thing. If the pas
sengar rate fixed a year ago is too low
and has resulted in harm to the rail-
roads, the fault lies wholly with the
State. It is difficult to see on what
grounds these roads should be asked
to- bear any part Of the pense inyolv-
ed in the correction of such a mistake.
To put the question plainly, should the
railroads be required to pay for justice?
That they are willing, dosen't change
the tact. Should the State be willing?
Let there be no connection however re-
mote between the acts of the Legisia-
ture and the money of any interested
corporation.

I He OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
Escaped the Terrors or
. Many Winters By
Using Pe-ru-na.

IN speaking of his good health and exc
l. rene old age, Mr.. Brock saws:
After a man has lived in the world
as long as / have, he ought to have
found out a great many things by exc
perience. 1 think I have done so.
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For L9 years Ihave with
stood the changeable climate OF
the United States.
81 have always been a very healthy
man, but, of course, subject to the affec-
tons which are due to sudden changes
in the climate n temperature.
GAS for DR.. Harfman's remedy.
Pe=ru-na, Z have found it to be the
best, ifnot the only reliable remedy
for these affections. 1T has been
my standbyfor many years, andX
attribute my good health and ex~
fren7e Old age TO this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil eff
fects of sudden changes; it gives mo
strength 1t keeps my blood in good cir
culation. I have come to rely upon is
almost entirely for the many little
things for which [ need medicine.
"When e~pidemics of Ia grippe first be-
gan to make their appearance in this
country l was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
sI had several long sieges with
the grip. At first did NOT know
that Pe-ru-na was a rem edy for
this disease. When 4 heard that
Ia grippe was epidemic CafarTh
I tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and
found it to be just the thing"
In a later letter, Mr.. Brock writes:
81 am well and feeling as well as T
AVE for years. I would not be without
Peruna."
Yours truly,

A letter dated July 3, 1906, written for
Mr.. Brock by his wife, Sarah j. Brock,
states:
"Lasf winter I bad Just gotten
up out of g spell Of sickness, when
1 commenced taking Peruna. 4
think ii improved my heath very
much"
In a postscript, Mrs. Brock adds: "He
receives a great many letters inquiring
about what Peruna will do. I do not

to the public, explaining more at
length why at this time an extra ses-
sion of }he General Assembly is deem
ed necessary.
Tie specific and only purpose tor
which the Legislature is convened is,
to consider the terms Of agreement Of
fered by me 10 the various railroads,
and accepted by all OF them save one,
which one accepts all of the terms ex-
cept the proposition OF an interstate
rate. concerning which it says ii has
no power TO act, Lut doubtless cir
Hunsfances Will regulate the rate as
requested.
The terms are as follows:
The Legislature Will be asked to in
crease the fiat rate OF 2 IA cents now
in force to a fat rate of 2 1-2 cents;
to allow a charge Of Is cents when
persons hoard a train without a-ticket,
when such ticket could have been pro-
cured at station, also to repeal the
present law, with penalties, etc.
If this is done the railroads agree on
their part, to.
LIST. A flat rate of 2 1-2 cents per mile
for the interstate passenger travel with
an extra charge of 10 cents each against
persons boarding a train without a
ticket, except at stations where there
are no agents.

solvent roads of the State as will con-
sent, at 2 cents per mile, good for heads

total number of five, the names to be

When Religion Called.

In his book Work In Great Clties'
the bishop Of London writes: "You
have often not only to learn, but to
practice, what may be described as the
foot and door trick. 1t is ruination to
the boot and sometimes hurts the toe,
but it consists in rapidly, but quickly,
passing the foot In the moment the
door is opened in order to secure, at
any rate, a few minutes parley." AS
to what may happen he writes: After
long hesitation 1t will be opened by a
little girl about half a foot, and then
you will hear a distant voice from the
wash tub In the rear, We'll, Sally, who
is itT Then Sally will answer at the
top Of her voice, Please, mother, it's
religion You VIII require all your
presence Of mind to cope with that"
