ShawlS Are Back Numbers.
(The Pathfinder

On very rare occasions you now
see some old lady wearing a shawl,
but generally speaking this once uni
versal garment has become obsolete.
An India or a Persian shawl used to
be considered one of the finest FEM
inc possessions in the world, and
they were handed down from mother
to daughter as priced heirlooms. But
now if you gave young woman even
a very elegant shawl, costing possibly
hundreds of dollars, as many did, she
would turn up her beautiful nose at
it, and if she used it at all would
make a potiere out of it for her coy
corner She would never think of
wearing it, even if it were the only
thing she had.
The trouble is that shawls are out
of style,and it is easier to drive a
camel through the eye of a needle
than to get woman to wear anything
that is out of fashion. When woman
kind took to mannish tailor-made
and close-fitting clothes they cast
shawls aside, and if they ever come
into favor again it will only be for
one season" as a temporary whim,
for they have an air about them that
is too old-fashioned
Those children that are say 40 years
old or more can probably remember
when even men wore shawls, instead
of oyercoats. For about ten years
they were considered just the thing.
This was the decade beginning with
about 1860. President Lincoln was
very partial to his big Scotch shawl,
which, according to the vogue, he
wore, not folded diagonally in fem
mime fashion, but folded lengthwise.
This folded shaw was passed over the
shoulders and around in front, where
it was either held by the hands or
pinned by a huge shawl-pin. This
case of the shawl is about the only
one where the men have appropriated
an article of wear from the woman S
wardrobe-though the instances
where the reverse has happened are
legion
Even then, the shawl was origin
ally not a woman's garment eXclus-
lively, for the Scotch Highlander has
his tartan plaid, and the men OF
northern Italy still wear a cloak
which is very little more than a
shawl

PLAN TO LENGTHEN DAYS
PROPOSED IN ENGLAND
Philadelphia Ledger.)

With the return of the long days
and short nights, more pronounced
in the British Islands in this lower
latitude. there has been renewed
agitation in support of the ingenious
scheme of one William Willett to
utilize the lower daylight hours
by a sktllful manipulation Of the
clocks of the country To make the
plan appeal more directly to the prac-
teal mind the calculation has been
made that if men and women would
only rise with the sun, begin the SER
ious business of the day and end it
pondingly earlier there would
be saving to the nation of the $12,-
100000 annually spent for artificial
illumination.
In its latest form the WilIett
scheme is beautifully simple. All
that would be necessary would be the
regulation of public and railway time
pieces so that the period between 2
and 3 O'Clock on each of the first four
Sundays in April should be a short
hour" Of forty minutes only, while
when the days grow shorter-that
hours on the first four Sundays in
September should be of eighty min
utes' duration. Train time and bust
ness time would be unaltered so far
as clock faces are concerned. and by
the end of April folks would simply
begin the day eighty minutes earlier
toward sunrise. Office and factory
hours would end that much earlier,
and the hours of leisure left to the
workers would be daylight instead
of lamplight hours. Theoretically
this would be a great boon, and it
is difficult to see that it would SER
iously dislocate the affairs of life:
but it has about as much chance of
immediate adoption. as that other
projected plan for the readjustment
of the months and days so that the
same days of the week would always
fall on the same numbered days of
the months throughout the years.

Roberts Bros, who operate the
Americas peach cannery, certain
ly deserve the hearty good will of
the peach growers of Sumter county
for providing market at home for a
large part of the crop. Had the only
market been in shipping away, the
losses of some of the peach growers
would have been heavy. Not only
did the cannery make profitable
market for peaches, but it tended that
much to relieve the foreign markets
to the benefit of every shipper of
peaches.
