are called waterproof, and certainly give
the appearance of being extremely dur
able.
Those of figured design combined with
plain are most attractive. There are polka
dots of every size, strines and checks. but
the newest are the lace patterns of white
on dark ground. Those made up with
the plain color or in the patterns that com
bine Il plain border with the figured de-
sign are certainly effective, and the colors
are most charming. Just as in every ma
terial this year, there are several different
styles given, cnd both the draped over
skirt and the plain gathered but not too
full skirt finished with plain band are
very smart. The most becoming should
be chosen when there is such a wide field
of choice.
The round, low cut neck, which is at
the moment an all prevailing fashion, is
painfully conspicuous in many of the new
est models for foulard gowns. But the
latest designs have all the yoke and high
stock collar of finest net, and, while so
transparent as not to entirely Ohviate the
appearance of the ucoYered neck, 1t does
modify it a little.

The quality of the material, the work

almost impossible task. After the first

Eccentric in the extreme are many OF

together so as to draw the fulness in about

introduced it was essentially a carica-

adoption, even with possible notifications
of the original idea, 1t has been greatly
modified, but the ugly, unbecoming lines

before the trimmings are chosen the news

Tobacco Outlook Bright.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Mary
land Tobacco Growers Association was
held in the Courthouse here on We'd
nesday. Mr.. F. Snowden Hill presided
and Mr.. Franklin Weems, of Anne
Arundel county, was secretary.
President Hill stated that at the time
of the organization of the association
the tobacco industry in Southern Mary
land was in a terrible condition. He
said that now a domestic market for
the Maryland crop has developed, the
Maryland Tobacco Company being
large purchaser. This year the French
Government will buy Maryland tobacco
in the open market in Baltimore through
a representative instead of purchasing
by contract from the commission mer
chants. This will benefit the planter
about one cent pound. President Hill
also stated that the main object was to
hear from members of the association
relative to its future conduct. He de-
clared that the present directors would
be GLAD to turn over the affairs of the
association to some other members. if
there was any just criticism of the man.
ner in which they had been conducted.
He declared that the association was
entirely free from debt, but that some
of the directors had to go down into
their pockets for the purpose. He stat
ed that only members who had paid
their dues for 1910 would be allowed to
participate in the meeting. At this
point a recess was taken in order to al
low members to pay up, and larg e
number came to the treasurer's desk.
After recess DR.. Philip Briscoe, of
Calvert county, called attention to the
headquarters especially provided for the
members of the Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation in the new warehouse building
in Baltimore, and stated the room was
about ready for occupancy. DIR. Brlscoe
and Messrs. John H. Drury and Frank
lin Weems stated that the association
was at last being recognized as a power
in the State, this being evidenced by
the fact that representative OF the
association was to be placed on the
proposed State board of agriculture
contemplated in the bill introduced
Monday evening by Senator Biddison.
The proposed bill appropriating 81, 500
to be expended by the Maryland Tobac-
co Growers Association for the benefit
of the Maryland tobacco industry and
the development of the markets there
of for the next two fiscal years was IN
dorsed. The bill provides that this
sum shall come out of the tobacco func
of the State and will take the expendi'
ture of the money out of the hands of the
authorities at the Maryland Agricultur.
al College, where it has been fol-
several years. The original appropria
ton was $1,000.
