"Angel" Collars

Some new collars are made of wide piece of delicately colored silk, satin or velvet shirred at top, center and bottom and faced with a pale tinted satin, which also forms a ruff about the throat They fasten at the back beneath enormously wide ribb bon bows of the ruff-facing color tied in two loops that extend winglike from the throat, while two long, tassel- finished ends are drawn toward the front, tackled directly beneath the chin and thence allowed to fall over the blouse front. Angel" collars designed solely for the house are of white satin or messaline with silver-faced edges and wide silver ribbon or wired tulle bows with silver tassel- finished ends. They are immensely effective with a rather simple white frock or as a relief to one all of black.

BOY AND AUTO GET
 AWAY WITH GIRL
CHAUFFEUR OF BREWToN USES HIS EMPLOYERS MACHINE AT HIS CORRESPONDENT A 60- MILE RUN IN FOUR HOURS.

Brewton, January 13.-(Special.) .)-The usual quietness from sensation was broken here by tinge of romance in the principal actors. Sam s. Foshee is the owner of a splendid touring car. He maintains a chauffeur whose avocation seems to have inspired feelings of TO- nance of the knightly order. On sev- eral occasions MT. F'oshee had heard him say that he intended to get married but would have to steal his girl.
 Thinking the boy was joking MT. Fo- shee told him that whenever he got ready to steal his girl he might also steal his car temporarily that he might effectually carry out his designs. It seems the chauf- feur made several efforts but to no pur- pose.
 Yesterday morning MT. Foshee told him to take the car downtown early and fill the tanks as he had to go to Pollard to look after some business. As he did not return as soon as expected MT. Foshee came down to the bank and made dili- gent inquiry for the whereabouts of the young man but could not locate him.
 Coming downtown the boy had discov- cred the object of his love standing on the school house steps and without a thought of his employers business en- agreements quickly took her aboard, set ting up a lively pace through town and toward the Florida line. The couple left town at about o'clock and shortly after noon MT. Foshee received a telegram from the groom that they were married in Pensacola at 12 o'clock, a distance of something like 50 miles by rail. The young man also stated he would explain about the automobile when he returned.
 The bride is Miss Tennie Jernegan, a girl IS years of age and pupil in the Brewton Collegiate institute. She is the daughter of Jim Jernegan, local pho- tographer, and himself the owner of a car. but which under the circumstances was of no avail, as the couple were we'll on their way before he knew anything about the escapade. Sam Cole. the groom. is a young man who bears a good repu- tation Just whether the expected bless ing will be extended them upon their return is not con1ectured.

Iron Ages Review.

New York, January 13.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 There Is a feeling of some disappoint- ment even among those who refused to join in the chorus of exurberant predic- tions of last November. There is no snap in the demand and what require- ments there are, come out in a hesitating way. The railroads are the principal lag gards, while apparently the general trade is acting conservatively in view of the coming tariff revisions. The conviction seems to be gaining ground that fea- ture of the latter will be free raw ma- terials, among them iron ore. coal, coke and possibly scrap with corresponding re- auctions in semi-finished iron and steel
 New business is light all along the line. There is the nearest approach to a normal demand in the wire products. There are some slight spots of weakness in the pig iron markets.
 Pipe makers are still responsible for the largest inquiries in the market and at least one large block is under negotiation, after having been practically closed.
 The rail trade continues very quiet. Among the new inquiries which are Up for consideration are 22,000 tons for the International ond Great Northern and 5000 tons for the Great Northern.
 Old material is weaker in Chicago and in the east.
 The metal markets are quiet through out. and some sellers of copper admit their disappointment There was a sharp drop in tin, amounting to about l cent per pound during the week, the metal touch- ing 27 90c during the decline.

Of Interest To Mothers

The question of providing suitable read ing matter for girls and boys, is a sub ject that interests every mother. Particu- larly when so much of what we term trash is written nowadays, for children as well as "grown-ups"
 It would appear that it would be an easy matter to draw up a list of score of books which are agreed by all to be very good books, and which ought to form 8 part of the education of every well-informed woman and man, and at the same time might reasonably lie within tho comprehension of the average intelli- gence of 15.
 At the same time if these books were suggested to the girl and boy of today, more than half would see more dusting than reading" and the general impress sion would be that these books were "bores."
 Ancestry has given us "Don Quixote," Paradise Lost" and Pilgrims Prog ress" essentials in the worlds classics, but if our own personal tastes regard them as "bores," no code of reading can hypnotise us into caring for them. And there Is no surer way to leave a last ing impression on girl or boy that a certain book is "bore,' than by forcing them to read 1t.
 Treasure Island" Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" are always favor ties; and rom Browns School Days" admittedly the best story of school life ever written, has a close second in Kikling's "Stalky & Co.
 'Ivanhoe," "The Pathfinder" "The Count of Monte Cristo., "The Guards men, "The Moonstone," Tales" by Edgar Allen Poe, whose centenary we will celebrate next Tuesday. and "The Adven- lures of Sherlock Holiness are among the best books that could possibly be sug- gested.
 Of the old-time books, 'The Mill on the Floss" 'The Last Days of Pompeii," Westward Ho," "The Marble Faun," and Ben Hur" take first place.
 A noted educator recently compiled the following list of books as suitable read ing for the library of children, less than 12 years of age:
 "The Arabian Nights" Lewis Carrolrs "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and Through the Looking Glass;" Rudyard Kiping's Just So Stories'' and the Jungle Books l and II; 'The Wonder Book" by Hawthorne; Water Babies' by Charles Kingsley; Robinson Crusoe," Swiss Family Robinson Louisa M.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. Doctors Say There Is Harmless Safe and Sure Way To
 Reduce It. sabuk says Feel Justified Making Assertion That thodo of Removing

Every woman who is Afflicted with su- perfluous hair will undoubtedly be glad to know that there is but one proper and logical method of getting rid of this most annoying and embarrassing disfig urement.
 The best authorities in the medical pro- fession agree that De Miracle will destroy hair successfully, although there are many other unrela>le things which claim to do it. The success which has attended this preparation as means of removing hair is based upon the method by which it works It is a purely scientific prin- ciple and totally different from the pastes and powders and other remedies which simply break off the hair in the same way that the razor does, making the hair when it grows out again heavier than before.
 As far as the electric needle or x-ray is concerned, both are not only unsatisfac- tory, but dangerous as well. The scars and burns of the electric needle last for a lifetime and the dangers of the x-ray are Indeed serious

For a Winter Cold

Hot lemonade is an old home remedy for colds and it has the advantage over promo -quinines and anti-pyrines of having no after effects. Take a hot foot bath in warm room. roll your self in a blanket. and drink at least a pint of lemonade as hot as you can stand 1t. Get into bed immediately. This is an important part of the cure sometimes overlooked. Moving around the room, emptying the bath and strengthening things up may give you an attack of pneumonia instead of cur ing your cold. A profuse precipitation results and if you have taken the rem edy within 4S hours of catching tn @ cold, complete cure is almost cer- tain by the next day. It is little short of marvellous.

 mand Is Slack.
BIG ORDERS FOR BOX CARS

Cleveland, O., January 13.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrw wih say: The principal development of the week was the appearance of the New York Central lines in the market with an inquiry for 5000 tons of steel rails. The International and Great Northern railroad is inquiring for 22,0OO tons and the Great Northern for 5000 tons One of the rail hills at the Gary plant has been started Sales of track fastenings include 5000 tons of spikes 5000 kegs of bolts and 26O0 tons of angle V bars
 The principal sales of pig iron were 20,00d tons of southern to a Philadelphia. pipe interest and 1000 tons to the lead ing radiator company by Buffolo fur nace
 In the east there Is very little buying. but the undercurrent seems to be strong In the central west there Is only fair in- quiry and in the south the market is quiet, with reports of some concessions having been made. An advance of s1 per ton in cast iron pipe is announced at Chicago.
 In addition to the inquiries for steel
  rails railroads have been calling for bids on cars. The rolling of the recent rail order of the Pennsylvania has been begun by the Carnegie Steel company. Prompt shipment is requested. The Northern Pa cifc is about to close on 200 box cars and the Pennsylvania system now is in the market for 26O0 cars for lines west The Western Maryland is figuring on 300 cars.
 Orders for structural material are of only moderate volume. The coke market shows some signs of weakness, as the demand for furnace coke is not up to ex- pectations and independent interests are taking steps to curtail production. The old material market is weaker at Pitts burg, Cleveland and Chicago, but Is strong at Philadelphia Leading interests on the lakes are proceeding to organize on the open shop basis.
