ion in order to insure its success
There are of course, several methods
of attaining this desirable end
Very often a marriage in high life
serves as an occasion for the display
of a number of brilliant costumes
created by the leading firms for the
aristocratic guests At such a func-
ton there is sure to be acrowd, com
posed to a considerable extent Of
clever, elegantly gowned, lynx-eyed
young women from the leading dress
makers. The news that a new fash
ion has been created spreads with
remarkable rapidity and the daily pa
pers, the illustrated fashion papers
the foreign correspondents eagerly
announce that a new fashion has been
created.
But the new fashion no sooner
launched, is already doomed to be
eclipsed by something else within a
brief period, for nothing is more
.evanescent The craze for novelty
has to be satisfied, that being the prin-
cipal elements in the big shops sue

WILL GIVE BADGES
OUT ON SUNDAY
To Roll Of Honor Pupils Of
First Baptist.

On next Sunday morning the Roll Of
Haner scholars of the First Baptist
Sunday School will be presented with
medals they have won by their faithful
during the past year.
The badges are of silver, beautifully
enameled, and perfect little specimens
of art.
To the medals for the first years
winners is attached single bar, bear
ing an appropriate inscription, To
this is added a second bar for those
who have attended without losing a
Sunday for three years, and still a
third bar for those whose records COW
ers five years. There are only two of
the latter.
To Typographical Union No. 435, the
union of the Americas district, to
which all of the printers of this city
belong, has fallen the rare honor Of
including among it's most ardent mem
bers the prize scholar of all Southwest
Georgia in point of attendance.
Mr. Barney Query, foreman of the
es-Recorder, is probably the only
printer in Georgia, some say in the
entire South, who is entitled to wear
such badge of honor
AS a general proposition printers
are not devoted attendants at Sunday
School. Perhaps this makes this es-
pecial case stand out with the greatest
prominence.
Papers all over the state have al
ready published the news item con-
corning his five years of faithful at
tendance as one of unusual interest,
1t is not improbable that no news
item sent out from Americas in long
time will have a wider publicity than
this concerning the printer who for
two hundred and sixty Sundays, rain
or tbhine, hot or cold, has been faithful
in mis- attendance at the Sunday school
of the First Baptist church.

HOW The FASHIONS
ARE CREATED
Most Styles Are Evolved and
Not Actually Created.

New York, January 6.-'How are
fashions created?" is a question that
must often occur to those who are in
terested in this fascinating subject.
AS a matter or fact, very few styles
are actually created, the majority be-
ing merely evolved. In the world Of
fashion, as elsewhere, there is moth
ing absolutely new, and the craze of
today is only too often the revived
fashion of a past age cleVerly adapt
ed to ultra-modern taste.
With regard to the actual procedure
of evolving a new style, some of the
cleverest dressmakers start from
some dominant idea which they en-
deavor OF materialize by trying it on
the most elegant and picturesque
model studying the effect of the ma
terial, measuring, selecting, discard
ing, just as the result appears salts
with lace, ribbons. silks, embroidery,
try them in a thousand different ways
until they find their ideal. Obviously
this is often a nerve-racking business
for both the artist and the model.
Sometimes these models are stolen
by unfaithful employees, heavily brib-
ed by INSCRIPTIONS firms eager to Sc
cure the --latest" Others employ
clever women to go and sketch models
under the pretence of giving orders
for costly gowns which they are al
lowed to inspect and see tried on.
No sooner does such pirate firm
obtain new model than it is cut up
and distributed in sections to a num-
Der of work rooms Thanks to
minute division of labor, he can re-
produce in an incredibly short space
of time q complete dress, using quite
inferior materials and "sweated" la
Dor
These he duplicates in immense
quantities, and long before the open
ing of the real Paris season places
them in his windows with the descrip-
tion --latest Paris Models" His cus-j
toners seldom realize they are being
defrauded by pirated or stolen model
or by some rehash of last years fash
ions.
These exploits explain the jealousy
with which dress secrets are preserv-
ed in Paris.
Nothing is more loathsome to the
really elegant woman than the idea of
wearing a dress accessible to other
women. So far is this fad carried thar
a select number of very wealthy wo-
men have all their dresses especially
designed; their material is specially
woven for them, and the colors special
ly blended and dyed so that The con-
turier may always obtain the desir-
ed effect
But II is not sufficient to invent and
design a new fashion 1t has to be
launched In the most diplomatic fas
