A Great SILK Season.

The silk forecast that is looming up
on the horizon of autumn fashions GER
tainly brings the hope of decided
changes in the world of silks. Thanks!
AS it were, they say that every dog
has its day. and it certainly must be
drawing near the end of the eleventh
hour for messaline. This beautiful sat
my silk fabric undoubtedly has been
abused of late by its hundred and one
limitations But because it is such a
close kin to satin we will always like
it for that alone. and therefore its use
will not die out entirely. This is mere
ly incidental more than to predict the
downfall of messaline popularity.
For gowns for street wear and after
noon affairs heavy sergelike weave
silks (both diagonal and straight
weaves) are to be the vogue. Heavy
tussores are forecasted too.
Styles, like people. are generally in
f1uenced by extremes; SO, as heavy as
silks are to be for gowns for day wear,
silks for evening gowns are to be the
other extreme, very thin and filmy.
Evening gown fashions are to be
built on revivals of quaint and charm
ing gowns Of the good old days when
women were attired in such pictur-
esque modes Daintily colored chiffons
are to be worn over darker and bright
err colors-for instance, light gray
over pink or rose or cerise. Each will
give a delightful light effect, full of
rays Of beautiful light. Yellow over
lavender or heliotrope Is q sunshiny
combination. This also reminds that
lavender, heliotrope and wistaria are
to be very much used again this sea.

OBJECTIONABLE SCHOOL
ROCKS.

What has become of the school book
controversy? Superintendent Harris
agreed to have the Objectionable matter
pertaining to the South stricken out ana
the books re-edited. We presume Mr..
Harris carried out his agreement, but
Il seems to us the Northern author, IN
that event, has us in the light OF beg
ging the question. The books contain
ing peryersion of historical facts ami
the slanderous, defamatory a"usion 20
the Southern soldier should have been
peremptorily rejected. - Guardian Jour
nal.
If the publishers of the Objectionable
books have not complied with their
agreement, it becomes the duty OF SUI
perintendent Harris to reject the books
and to withhold their payment. NO
Southern man should sanction, much
less approve, the use of any book hlied
with sectionalism in any school where
the descendants of Southern men are
taught. It is time to resist with deter
mination such perversions of facts as
are contained in the books which are
acquired by men charged with the re-
sponsibility of the education Of children
attending schools in the South. In the
first place the Objectionable books
should have been cast aside as being I'M
worthy of consideration, and secondly
only such books as are truthful and il
possible by Southern authors, should be
provided for the schools attended by the
children of the men who sacrificed the
best that was in them when youths in
their patriotic efforts to maintain the
principles of their Constitution as enun-
ciated by the Heroes who resisted Brit
ish oppression and finally achieved the
Independence Of the United States.
The responsibility must rest on Su-
perintendent Harris if any books I'M
truthful or slanderous of the South ara
permitted in any school of the State.
In this issue Of school books is a prin-
ciple which is greater than dollars AM
