Fashions IN Note Paper.

There are fashions in note paper and
calling cards, Just as in everything
else. and the knowledge of these same
fashions stamps a person as "well
bred"
The quality or finish Of all the new
writing papers is laid" with water
mark instead of the linen or fabric
finish, although this latter finish will
still be widely used The sheets are
square, of varying sizes from small
note up, and the envelopes invariably
just half the size OF the sheet, requir-
ing but the one fold
The cards all favor the almost
square sizes. The smallest are 21s by
2ls inches. while the largest are ga

Cards FOR Mr.. and Mrs. together are
not often used. Sometimes they are

more or less of an old-fashiOned Gus

fire that followed at least two of the
nangled bodies were completely con-
aumed. Among the slightly injured
are: Capt. T. Jobe, Burton, N. c..

The collision occurred about 8

freight No. 81, en- route to Nashville.
The wreckage at once caught ire. The
baggage, mail, express and smoking
ears of the passenger train and sever
al of the freight cars were burned.
But one mail bag was saved. Through
the almost superhuman strength ex-.
erted by the passengers the three day
coaches aud the Pullman were pushed
back from the fire and the equipment
saved. 1t is the general impression
among passengers and trainmen thai
the fault was with the passenger crew,
as orders to meet at Pegram had
been issued and the wreck occurred
west Of that station.
