Braidinq on Coats,

Many Of the new tailored suits for
autumn show, below the sailor collar,
which is so popular, a false collar Of
stitching, or more usually of braiding
The typical coat of this sort was seen
recently, a loose hip.length jacket
with V-shaped vest, sailor collar finish,
ed by a silk tie and a row of narrow
selfcolored braiding, about five inches
below, following the collar in outline,
The cuffs were finished in the same
way.
The great number of rut1es which
have appeared as notifications Of the
tunic effect seems to have suggested
this style, which gives a becoming eff
feet Of height to young girls and short
women. Soutache or very narrow fiat
braid is used. Sometimes it reappears
on the tunic or simply in banding eff
feet on the skirt below the knees.
1t is a good way to make last au-
tunn's suit seem modish again, and to
conceal any necessary lengthening for
the growing girl.

Wedding Rings for Brideqrooms.

Some new rings are being shown
which on first appearance seem to
be very handsome seals, but on closer
examination show that they are to be
divided when the time" comes into
two separate rings They are made to
order as is much of the jewelry worn
nowadays by those who wish to have
exclusive styles in their articles of,
personal adornment. 1t Is a custom
rather strictly observed in Germany,
this exchange Of rings on the wedding,
day, and it is very pretty custom.

this double ring ceremony? and why
not? Very few brides now select
plain diamond solitaire that was for
so long considered the only proper en-
gagement token, the larger the stone
the more the girl loved to fash It.
Now a diamond is used II the girl
wishes it, but 1t is cut and set In some
individual manner and Is made with
the promise that no duplicates will
be sold.

county for the year ending No

BOARD concludes it's report as fol-
lows (the only matter besides
fguAes in the report):
The board Of aualt and fin
ance finds that whereas the Pub

require that the county commits
sioners shall direct the treasurer
to keep the funding bonds
fund.-" amounting to Sz7, ,677. .S7,
as a seperate and distinct 1und,

making such additional repairs
to the Jail and installing such ad-
ditional fixtures and furniture IN
the count house as the board OF
county commissioners shall find
to be a public necessity; that the
said fund was not so kept, as a
separate and distinct fund, but
that by order OF E. j. Britt, at

sioners, the said fund was mixed
with the general county fund,
and that So, 36l. 48 was paid out

ed by the county commissioners

the regular commissions allowed

we find that the county commits
sioners have not complied with
the law, in that they did no
cause the treasurer TO keep
separate and distinct account OF
SAID funds, so that the condition
OF the same could at all times b'
shown. There is nothing show
