PURPLE NOT FOR
THE PALE WOMAN

Il is regrsttable. considering the money
and time some women expend upon their
personal adornment. that SO little atten-
tion is paid by tho majority to the use
OF colors IN their dress.
1t is predicted that purple will he ono

and unless a woman is blessed with black
or brown eyes and a pronounced color in
her checks. il she wears this color the
effect Will be melancholy.
The color of the eyes should be care
fully considered in all daytime costuminG.
and in a lesser degree in the evening
dress
Therefore. the woman who is possessed
Of a sallow or faded complexion and
light blue or pale gray eyes should shun
purple If she will he really becomingly

Newest Ribbons.

Both black and colored velvet ribbons
are seen in the wider sizes. Fancy
floral velvet ribbons are also popular.
Black and white striped ribbons are
shown in both velvet and taffeta, with
black velvet stripes on white taffeta
ground. Black satin stripes are shown
on white taffeta also.
Faille ribbon is being used much by
milliners, especially in black-and-white
combinations. Warp and jacquard prints
are also seen everywhere. most of all
in the lighter colored patterns. Finally,
black and white checked taffetas are
much in vogue in Paris. Sometimes the
stripes running one way are in satin
woven into the taffeta- In other words,
although not a great number of ribbons
are shown. those that We do have are
beautiful and elaborate in weave and de-
sign.

ing region Of the United States. But

Of the tributary country, Ardmore
at one time held the distinction of
being the largest inland cotton mar
Eet in the world, and now there are
sold from wagons here every season
from twenty-five to thirty thousand
bales of the fleecy staple. Naturally
there must be provision made for
the manufacture of the bi-products Of
the cotton field. and the ArdMore
Cotton Oil Mil IS here for that pur-
pose. Built on strictly modern lines
this institution is above the average
of its kind and is one OF the leading
industries in Ardmore.
It requires the services Of a man

as an auditorium and lodge room.
The gin and the mercantile estab-
lishment is conducted by D. B. Tipps,
one Of the pioneers of that section
who enjoys large trade. He is also

TK WAR SCARE IN
GERMANY AND FRANCE.
A Near Panic in Banking Circles
Runs on Savings Banks---MOye-
ments of Troops Adds to
Apprehension.

Berlin, Sept. ga near panic in
banking circles exists in some OF the
provincial cities of Germany and
Hance as a result of wild rumors
of war. The antiquated policy of
the government Of keeping the ma
ton in the dark as to the negotia-
tions with France over the Morroc-
can situation was severely con-
demned today.
Runs on the savings banks at
Stettin, Metz and other cities are
growing.
Thousands Of small depositors
have withdrawn their savings. Fear
ing that the panicky conditions will
quickly spread to Berlin, the bank
ers here have agreed that they will
insist upol the expiration of the
legal notice before they permit with
drawals. On the frontier the peo-
pie are excited because of the large

Belgium The official statements
that these movements are simply
part of the regular manoeuvres are
disregarded.
While the government is being
denounced for it's silence, 1t i. said
in unofficial circles that there is no
cause for the alarm that has spread
over the country and that if France
has made her proposals in good faith
the government believes an early
settlement may be reached.

GREAT DISTRESS IN
PARTS Of CHINA.
Eight Hundred Thousand Suffers.
One Hundred Thousand Drown.
Famine Prices and People
Without Money.

Shanghai, China, Sept. 6.-The
most desperate measures are being
adopted today to relieve the 100000
famine sufferers in the Yangtse-
Kiang Valley, where 100000 are
said to have lost their lives in the
recent floods. All crops in the dis
trict~have been swept away.
Famine prices prevail and the
people have nothing with which to
buy. The local board of trade has
borrowed 100000 to be used In
relieving distress. Missionaries at
many points are sending out supplies
of rice. Desperate from hunger, the
refugees who are swarming over
lands that have not been devastated,
are pillaging on all sides and troops
have been called to preserve order.
Only by foreign aid, it is said, can
a great famine be checked.
New York, Sept. 6.-The Christian
Herald today received word from mis-
sionares in the stricken district that
the foods along the Yangtee-Kiang
river are proving the worst in the mod
ern history OF China. For hundreds OF
miles the country is submerged and the
surviving natives, living on hurriedly
constructed RATS, have no food except
smoll quantities OF rice which they
store in the topmost branches OF trees.
This supply will not last long and even
ii the water recedes famine will still
threaten millions of people. The ad-
vices appeal for food for the starving.

NEGRhES IN A FIGHT.

Considerable excitement was caused
on King sire ct extended yesterday az
ternoon about four O'Clock by fight
which took place between FIVE negroes
three men ani two women. The
melee started near the Spring Park
station of the electric railway and it is
said extended to APPOINT near the Theo-
logical Seminary. Only natures
weapons were used, although one OF
the participants drew knife during
one stage OF the fight, but did not use
it. The men and women knocked
each other down, rolled about in the
road, during which noses, already fiat,
were made fatter, scratches and bruises
inflicted, and clothing torn. As soon
as the belligerents would regain their
feet they resumed the fight, backing
and at times running westward. The
battle was still in progress when the
combatants disappeared on the top Of
the bill.

TEN VICTIMS Of THE
DEADLY TOADsTOOLS.
Fungi Obtained from PuShcart
Causes Ten Deaths and
Suicide.

New York, Sept. 6.-Toadstools
sold from a pushcart as mushrooms
claimed their tenth victim this
week when Mrs. Marietta Casico, of
294 Pleasant avenue, died of the
poison. Her husband is dying and
it was only the greed of the parents,
who ate all Mrs. Casico prepared,
that saved the lives of their two
children. With several other per-
sons dangerously i'll, it was feared
that the death list would grow even
larger before night.
One suicide has also been caused
by the toadstool epidemic for when
Miguel Loprote learned of the death
of his wife and son, he shot himself.

ST. MARY'S PICNIC.

A very interesting meeting was held
Monday evening by the ladies, who
are to take part in the picnic to be
given for the benefit Of St. Mary's
Church, final arrangements having
been made, and most enjoyable time
promised 10 all who attend.
James Patterson has very gener-
ously donated the use OF his farm for
this delightful occasion.
The ladies, who so willingly volun-
teered to help in this most worthy
cause, have exerted every effort to
make st. Mary's Picnic" one grand
success.
Sight seeing automobiles have been
secured from Washington to convey
the people to and from the picnic
grounds, leaving Washington and King
streets every half-hour.
1t will be well worth the price of
the tickets to take the delightful ride
in these elegant touring cars. A de-
lightful luncheon and supper will be
served on the grounds, also refresh
ments of every kind.
