Dame Fashion has this year provided all
that could be desired, for the brocades,
satin velvet or crepe. the exquisite loces
and the hand embroidery are all Of the
most costly description, and there Is no
fixed rule as TO what colors and matcri-
ais arc to be combined, go that it Is really
n matter of taste ns to what shall be
chosen.
Artificial flowers play an important
part in evening dress this season, and
many of tho smartcst gowns have the
waists so fashioned that the flowers are
part of the trimming. but so arranged
that they can be changed if so desired. A
Natter blue satin evening gown trimmed
I with black lace would not look half so
smart were il not for the spray of shaded
pink velvet roses with green leaves placed
In the front of the waist just where the
bands of lace nre crossed. A yellow and
white brocode gown would lnck color and
smartness were it not for the spray Of
yellow roses, shading TO deepest orange,
that is placed in the folds Of brocade
That cross above the high girdlc. Arti-
fetal flowers have reached perfection
of manufacture that makes them ap-
propriate as a trimming or finish 10 the
most elaborate of gowns, and are often
preferable to the ornaments of steel or
rhinestone that have been popular for so
long. All kinds OF flowers known 10 the

are in demand There are not many blue
flowers. but fashion permits that blue
roses, blue lilies and blue orchids be in
Icluded in the list of artificial blossoms.
What is the fashionable color for the

questioned. There are many different
shades Of white, blue, pink, yellow, green
and gray TO choose from. while the bro4

MOVING PICTURES TO BE
GIVEN IN SCHOOL.
South NOrwalk Seizes Upon Show to
Educate the Young Mind.

South NorwaIk, Conn, Feb. 5.-A
contract has been awarded for the
construction of an auditorium in con-
nection with st. Mary's School in this
place in which for an hour each day
a moving picture show will be given.
Pictures of foreign countries and Of
animal life will be shown and will
serve as lectures in geography and in
natural history, and there will be hui
morous pictures, the faculty believing
laughter wholesome. After the show
is concluded each pupil will be called
upon to write an account of what he
has seen. There viii be films on heav-
'ier themes for older pupils
1t is expected the new system will
not only revolutionize the system Of
instruction in public schools, but keep
the pupils from visiting the public
moving picture shows.

NOT "MADE IN AMERICUS"
AS MIGHT BE CASE.
Our Bread and Butter is Produced
Elsewhere.

Americus cannot make the boast
that what is consumed here is made
here, and more's the pity. In fact
ninety per cent of what is consumed
here, generally speaking, is the prod
uct of other states, towns or commu-
mites. For instance, an Americus
house received yesterday a shipment
of thirty pounds country butter from
farm few miles out, while only re-
Gently butter making enterprise here
in town failed utterly from lack of
support. This same house received
