This was a mourning dress for home

The draping was very deftly done,
just a few broken lines.

An excerpt from Doris letter: And.
oh. Will, X you weren't the dear
est boy! You often told me thar
you would do anything in the world
for me, and now you write for my
sake you've quit smoking. I'll have to
wait until l see you to tell you what a
dear l think you are"
From Janis: "You write that out of
consideration for me you have stopped
smoking for good. That was just love-
ly of you, William. and you may de-
pend that I greatly appreciate it."
From Phyllis: BILLY. boy. it's just
ripping! You're the dandy kid! Just to
think that you would swear off using
the weed just for me! 1t was mighty
lear of you, Billy, and it makes me all
the more keen for you"
From Marjorie: ITO think that
you've quit smoking, William! l was
so surprised! OF cours l always knew
that you care for me, but to think that.
as you say. you've made this sacrifice
on my account-why, it's positively
noble of you"
From his mother: "Will. my son.
this proves your love for me. Father
is inclosing a check to show that he

BRAIDS FOR STYLISH GOWNS
Multifarious Uses of the Trimming
Now In Demand.

Now In Demand.
Manifold are the uses of braiding
this season. and indeed there is moth
ing richer, more refined and elegant
than the way the different varieties of
braid are employed. The black dresses
of chiffon broadcloth and, in fact, of
all kinds of black wooden goods and
also velvets are braided layishly, gen
orally with silk soutache. Some of
this is heavier than the rest, so that
the heavy lines are laid along the in
ner part OF the trimming or braided
design, while the finer sort is laid out
side. Sometimes both weights are
placed fiat on the material, while In
others it is set on edge. l saw a black
chiffon cloth yesterday with a design
an inch and n half wide around the
skirt and down the left side from the
bust line to the foot. This was in a
clover pattern, the petals outlined by
braid set Oh edge, while a row lay
fiat on the outside of this. and at the
very edge two lines of the braid were
laid fiat. A richer and more refined
trimming could not be made. In some
other designs wider braids are put in
the center, while the fine soutache Is
almost always employed to add to its
beauty. A little bunch of soutache
braid in your hand looks insignificant,
but when it is neatly added to the
edge of a garment it becomes a thing
of beauty. AS to other varieties of
really beautiful braids, 1t would be
profitless TO even try to mention he
thousandth part, there are so many,
but | can say that-braid is the most
fashionable as well as effective of
trimmings, buttons next. Many stylish
gowns now have a sash made OF the
material wrought in some design all
over, and this hangs quite to the foot
of the skirt. Pretty capes are also
seen with long stole ends, the whole
surface being braided in some set de-
sign or else in a vermicelli pattern.
This last is a favorite design for most
of those who make their own gar
ments, as one need not follow a pat
tern, but just turn it as 1t happens.
And 1t Is handsome.
After all. 1t must be the wearer that
makes the hat beautiful instead OF the
hat making the woman so, for yester-
day l saw a woman In a hat so awful
that l would be afraid to put 1t on a
horse in the heat of summer. He
would surely bolt and do all the dam
age he could, and yet the wearer
looked really lovely in it. The hat
was high In the crown, and 1t would
be difficult to say where the crown
ceased and the brim began. The brim
was bell shaped and faced with quf
ings of pale pink tulle. The hat itsel-
was Of coarse black straw. A twist
of black velvet ribbon went around
the crown, passing plain across the
front. There were velvet strings tied
under the round chin. OfT15siAe
of the hat and flattened down we the
ears were two white roses with buds
and green leaves. These roses were
not the big and rich satin artificial
flowers of today, but were just white
muslin blossoms, such as our remote
ancestors wore, common little things
so palpably artificial that one really
felt like smiling. But the whole hat,
dropping down so closely around the
face and head. with it's cheap looking

THE rusERcuLosIs sANrrARrUM.

The report of the city physician of Montgomery makes startling and thought inspiring statement. That re- port points out that while one person during the last year died of alcohol ism in Montgomery no less than sigh- ty-three died of tuberculosis.
 These are figures carefully compil- ed by . city oficial under oath. In the capital city one person died of al- coholism while eighty-three died of tuberculosis. Agitation has centered our interest and our energy on one evil while another Is doing its dead ly work unchecked. The money that Is being spent in the present cam paign which centers about the use of alcoholic liquors is to be counted by thousands of dollars. The State and the counties of Alabama will spend Sbo,ooO for the election alone. Each of the two sides in the amendme mt fight will spend more than that sum. Any man familiar with the primary system and the politics of Alabama knows this to be true.
 And yet the Governor of Alabama refuses to build the Tuberculosis San itarium authorized by the last Legis- lature. The cost of that saa!tariuEa would not be as much as the cost of the special election which has been called to decide the fate of the amendment, The need of such an in- stitution is apparent not only to the physicians of Alabama but to intel ligent laymen as well. The physicians of the State have urged the Governor to oarry out the provisions of the act Of the Legislature. But the Cover ture of s5O,OO0 for an election which could be held next year without cost great cost-who could endorse that election because 1t served his politI- cal purposes, refused to authorize the building of the sanitarium.
 No man of sense and of experience discounts the evils that come from the use and abuse of alcohol. But that evil Is not the only one which besets and afflicts humanity. Tuberculosis-the Great White Plasue--is one evil which most often brings humanity to the grave.
 And in Montgomery where one per- son dies of alcoholism eighty-three die of tuberculosis.

It has been estimated that the contribution made by employers to the three class. es of insurance amounts to per cent increase of wages; that made by people to 1-2 per cent to 3 per cent deduction of earnings. Tne employer Is responsible for the full payment of premium. which he takes from the amount of wages and enters in the insurance book in the form of stamps. Tine postofice is the medium of payment for both premiums and pensions.

To License Perjury.

Chattanooga Times.
 What interests Alabama largely in- terests Tennesseans. since we are such near neighbors that we must natural ly, in large measure. share the things that are for the good or ill of each. The campaign in that states over the proposed amendment to the constitu- ton contains many phases that touch the people of Tennessee. The politl- cal feature of the controversy Is quite sir.! ior to that affecting our own con troversy in this state. and ought to be fairly understood here. There are a number of earnest, honest prohibition ists who. in their mistaken zeal. seek to place ill-advised amendments In the that have not been and will not be en- forced. For these there Is no word Of censure; they are controlled by their emotions-their hearts. so to say-and sincere they are to be accorded re- spectful consideration.
 But there are a lot of ambitious politicians who are using the prohibt- and to further their personal political fortunes without reference to the wei fare of the state or the peace and con- tentment of the people,. They are not saints. but they are without following. except through some such wave of in- tolerance and bigotry as they have succeeded in promoting in the state
 
 One of the sections of the proposed amendments shows to what limit Of bigotry these politicians have gone In their ignohle project to deprive a free people of their rights. Section 20 12 of the proposed amendment provides:
 And no person who testifies with respect to any unlawful act under this statute or other statute for tho sup pression of the evils of intemperanee shall be prosecuted in respect to any act to which he testifies nor shall his evidence so given be used against him in any criminal proceeding"
 This provision embodied in the or. ganic law would mean that perjury. If employed In the prosecution of per son accused of violating the prohibit tion laws. would be excused. and the false-swearer go .unwhipped of hts crime. It is income eivable that sucn a proposition should be seriously con- sidered in an American community, In Russia any resort Is lawful that puts the knout to the back of political offenders; this regulation set up in an American community would make Rus sla a fair land of liberty in compari- son. The law that licenses perjury will turn loose all the other demons of lawlessness. anarchy and ruin.

HARRLMAN,S PLANS - :
 FOR THE CENTRAL

Savannah Morning News
 We have never had a doubt that the plans of the late Mir. K. H. Hartman for the Improvement of the Central of Georgia would be carried into effect. but we are glad to have a statement from so authoritative source as Major Hanson1 president of the Gem trai of Georgia. and of MT. Harahan. the purpose was. to make these i'm provements. Just what they are we do not know, but we have reason to believe. that they are very extensive. There have been reports from time to time that before any improvements were, mads there would be ra iical changes In, the officers of the Cen tral that some of the chief officers cut down expenses and thus afford more revenue for carrying out the im- provefnent plans. but there has never been any foundation for them. Both the statements that they gave. to The Morning News on Sunday and which were printed yesterday. denie1 there was any. truth in them.
 The proba bility is that they origi- mated in the minds of those who, look ing over the Illinois Central system, found other large railroad properties that were being operated somewhat differently from the Central of Geor- gia. and came to the conclusion that the latter would be operated In the same way. If that was the manner In which they arrived at the conclusion that there was to be changes In the officials of the Central they argued from wrong premises.
 The Central of Georgia is to con tinue to be operated as 1t has been operated for the past several years. Tn the meantime every effort Is to be made to increase its business. That this is so is evident from the activity that is being displayed in getting ad- ditional business. Cotton fs being brought from far-off Mississippi. steel rails from Birmingham to Savannah for export to South American ports. agents of the Illinois Central in Europe. Asia and Africa have been in- structed to do all they can to turn ex- ports for the Western and Southern parts of this country through Savan- nah and in other ways the business of the Central of Georgia Is being in- creased. It wouldn't be surprising If this years business should show very marked increase over last years. It certainly ought to. In view of the eff forts that are being made to increase 1t.
 All the signs indicate that the Illi- nois Central, which owns the Central of Georgia, intends to develop the latter in every possible way 1t can. It .Ineans to make it valuable to itself in the de*eidpInent of the Central of Georgia. Savannah Is bound to be benefited ,t-

STATE INSURANCE
 AS IN GERMANY
Policy Was Originally Forced on the State As Political Measure.

Harper's Magazine.
 The accident insurance, like that for sickness and old age. was forced upon the State as political measure. By the. old Roman law a workingman or his family had got indemnity in Germany, If he were hurt or killed in the chances of his trade. only from the person through whose careless ness or malice he had suffered. The injured person had always to prove the fault; the immediate author of the disaster. often an overseer or fel- low-workman. was the only person who could be held, so that man came away more often than not with empty hands. even if he won hls suit. because of the poverty of the respon- sible party. An employer could be held only If neglect could be laid di- rectly to his charge, and It was not established what was neglect and dis charge of duty in an employer. A first law. intended to meet the cases of railway employees, held the employ CT for ail neglect of his overseers; another over thirty years later (lSli)' held him unless he could prove the fault had been the workmans s. th" burden of proof being thus transfer red to him Both laws were eVade : in the Reichstag handbook one readS of a debate in 1879 in which a great mine owner admitted that or f'5fS ac- cidents which had come to ms hoVIee only 126l-about ne-sixth--had rH' ceiyed redress.
