The woman who sets forth to purchase

cred batiste discovers TO her surprise
how many various tints and tones of this
elusive color there are. If the right shade
is not obtainable the best way will be to

coloring should be strained through mus

which often pass through an ordinary
strainer. The first test should be made
with rather weak mixture, adding
stronger coffee to deepen the tint. OF
course this coffee solution is made with
hot water and coffee only, for. though

out in a shallow circle, finished by mar

at the top with black line. To match
this cool and distinguished morning
frock there is leghorn hat. bent sharply
up at one side and trimmed only with
broad band and bow OF black velvet.
Another modish use of the darned net
is in the loose, pelisselike wrap which is
thrown over elaborate gowns for carriage
and other formal wear. These wraps are
really a modification of the lace and net
tunics which proved becoming Win
ter evening gowns that they cannot be
given up. The clinging. transparent tunic,
falling in straight lines over a care
fully fitted frock beneath. reveals, yet
hides, the figure in an artisticaliy elu-
sfve way which suggests slenderness and
Essomeness, no matter how much more
one may weigh than one might wish.
A crepe meteor gown III the ultra
smart if rather trying. mustard" shade
shows one of these tunic wraps of darned
net in the same greentsh yellow color,
which, for some incomprehensibe reason,
Paris holds in high esteem at present.
The net wrap is edged all around by Il
hem of satin in the same shade and the
darned pattern forms a rich design on
the straight back and fronts, which hang
from the shoulders in panel effect. Tie
wrap is sleeveless and is held at the bust
by two jet buttons and black cord loops.
Instead of there being side seams and
armholes the back and front panels are
simply caught together over the hip with
big jet buttons like those on the bust.
The frock beneath this very open wrap is
quite simple. the lustrous length of the
crepe meteor outlining the figure in sin

but has Il transparent yoke and high
stock of deep cream chiffon, over which
rises a little chemisetta of the darned
net.
1t seems that extravaganza can no fur
ther go than in the handmade lace
frock matched by an almost full-length
coat of the same costly substance. Pill

instead of having the wide sleeveless arm
holes they show either the whole sleeve

reach LIS the elbow, the guimpe sleeve

ways much more satisfactory to take the
extra trouble of sewing the half-sleeves

for the loose half-Sleeves are difficult TO
sew neatly into the tight sleeves of the
summer frocks and the yoke or chemi-
sette. if not held down firmly by a fitted

wrinkles about the neck.
If the frock has long sleeves made Of

little stock and yoke to fill in the neck
portion, the fitted foundation may be dis

another way. The front edge Of the yoke
may be pinned with tiny safety pins to

Special picnic bottles are to be had with

which make them almost unbreakable.
OF course, the convenient bottle must
be brought home after the picnic, but
the slightly additional trouble of carry

A Ribbon Pocket in the Coat Lining
An easy way to put a watch pocket
or a convenient receptacle for the ever
elusive doorkey into the lining of ones

who has tried the idea. She takes II

accommodate her watch easily. and, dou

the ribbon is wide is then cut in the

ATERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Negro FearfulIy Mangled In Machinery
Of Cotton Ginnefy.

Drs Gamble and Jacobs were hur-
riedly called to Blakeley's station,
on the e & W railroad, Tuesday
morning to attend negro boy, Jim
Hewitt, who had been frightfully
mangled in the machinery of Blake
ley & McCullough's cotton ginnery.
The accident occurred about 6
o'clock m, and Was caused by the
negro, who is about rs years old, be-
ing csugh' somehow in the shatting
of the m thlnery and jerked so vio-
leptly that his left arm was literally
torn off above the elbow. In addition
ty this the boys legs were each
broken in three places and he also
sustained internal injuries. The doc
tors say that when they left their
patient he was getting along as we'll
as possible in the circums tances,
though it is impossible to tell at this
time what chance he stands for recov-
cry.

To this may be added this week

every one interested in the well

Williamsburg 10 be one of the

State. A comparison with bank

of Williamsburg are in excellent
shape financially. In fact. We do
not believe there are two towns

whose banks make as good a
showing as those of the two
