replacing the velvet and cloth which
were the thing last season.
Some beautiful lace collars were
noted at Jacoby's yesterday They
were betwixt and between the sailor
and the Marie Antoinette fchu. and
were iilmy and delicate, a charming
setting for a girlish face, and a gift
that would be most welcome. The
store also shows a good line of frills,
OF round lace collars, aud OF pretty
neck fixings tied in the newest kind
of bows.
AT the store Of ID. Ross and Son
were seen winter gloves that looked
capable of shutting out the cold OF
even an Alaskan winter. The heavy
kid was lined with fur, or lambs-wool
and yet there was a style to the
gloves that made an old man remark
that times had changed since folks
wore red woolen mittens IN winter.
Somehow the babies always seem to
have the best of It when il comes 10
comfortable clothes. At Anna Han
thorn's there are so many fluffy,
woody white things made into coats
and dresses that baby clothed in
them would certainly be an edition
dc luxe. A number OF women say
that they find very charming designs
in narrow laces and insertions in this
store.
The smaller winter hats have an
upward trend that is rather jaunty.
Some clever models were observed at
Meyers and Carson's Geftly trimmed
with an airy bow of handsome Persian
ribbon, or garlanded with bit OF
fringe. or saucily waving a fluffy tip.

Wilmington shops are beginning to

There are salad dishes, bonbon dishes,

In a casual way he folded his arms.
He could now put his hand into his in
side coat pocket and the motion would
hardly be noticed.
For a moment he stood as though

inquiry window. Though Alcatrante
was watching him closely, Orme con-
tfnued to act as if he were the only
person in the room.

him almost in the open doorway. APP

HEREDlTY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, OF
course, be successfully disputed, but
1t can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while / was a coffee
drinker l suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which l
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which I tried faithfully
but without ~perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited n Of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
Il was not SO strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, / conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. / feared
1t would be a severe trial to give 1t
up, but when I took Postum and had
it we'll made, 1t completely filed my
need for a hot beverage and / grew
very fond Of it.
Il have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time / have had absolutely none OF
the bilious attacks that | used to suf-
fer from, and | have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating eff
fects that used to result from them.
THE change is surely very great.

Granite in the South.

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be &C.
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south a place In
the market at any rate,
The annual output is now worth
about $500, 900 and the industry is
growing. 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about $4,000, 900 worth OF

Old Man of the Sea, awaiting the OPP
~portunity to get the better Of him.
Every vile would be employed; but
publicity was no part Of the game
Orme began really to believe that.
To shake of Alcatrante, perhaps
there was no better way than to lure
him to some deserted place and over
power him. But would not Alcatrante
be likely to have anticipated such a
move? And would he not resort to
desperate measures Of his own before
Orme could put his own plans into
practise2 Bixby might help.
Orme walked over to the inquiry
window. 81 want to see Mr.. Bixby,"
he said, offering his card.
The young woman behind the win
dow took the card, but at the same
time she said: "Mr. Bixby left a few
minutes ago. He won't be back to-
day. Shall I keep the card for him?"
"It doesn't matter, thank you," he
said, turning away. Luck was against
him. Besides Bixby no one in the Of
fee knew him.
Alcatrante smiled genially. "Since
Mr.. Bixby is absent" he remarked,

window could not help hearing.
"Rot!" said Orme.
WHAT" A note of indignation crepf
into Alcatrante's voice. Are vol

not insist on the verification." An

The clerk left che window, and
opening a door, came into the recep

II have none," replied Orme, in dis
gust. II have never pretended to hav'

Orme did not nswer.
With a conservative eye the cler

With a slight bow, Orme went int
