The vogue for fringe on outer gsrs
ments has tended to stimulate interest
in fringe trimming for petticoats.
White this form of finishing was at
tempted last season. it was not feat
ured TO any extent, but there is now
a large showing Of ruffes edged with
fringe.
Trimmings are lavishly used on all
except the most practical and service
able of street frocks. Narrow and wide
bands OF fur. lace yelled with chiffon
or net. silk embroideries, gold and sill
yer galoons and laces, fiounces and
landings Of both black and white
chantiHy are all modish.
The woman who has pumps and
who does not wish to get high shoes
until late IN the fall can now use her
cloth CATERS and be very much in
style. White ones are quite the fash
ion, and their rivals are pearl gray.
These are worn with the black shoes
with all kinds Of gowns that are short

LEST WE FORGET.
The Value of a Franchise Ihat Is
Given to Public Utility
COmnAny.

The VaIue of Franchise That Is
Given TO a Public Utility
Company.
Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL:-Lest we forget let it be told
again. The writer charges once
more that when a franchise is grant
ed to a public utility the value OF
every dollar Of the capital stock OF
the company securing the franchise
over and above the actual cost OF the
plant and equipment of the company
securing the franchise has been pre-
scented to the company by the COM
munity granting the privilege.
Now this of itself is a serious mat
ter and of itself If Il Is understood Is
enough to make a hitherto INDIFFERENT
people sit up and pay attention.
There is, however, something else
connected with this matter which Is
even more serious and which once II
is understood will not only attract
attention but will cause the people
10 get busy. This is the fact that this
franchise value is valuable or worth
less Just so far as dividends can be
collected from the people who grant
ed the franchise.
To put il in another way: If the
Street and Sewer Directors would
grant a franchise to The Public Uul-
| ity Light, Heat and Power Company
and the latter would erect a plant
say at an actual cost Of S5OOO 600 and
would then capitalize the company at
s1,500,000 the people Of Wilmington
would really appear to have pre-
sented the Public Utility Light. Heal
and Power Co with a million dol.
lars. This looks like a prodigal use
of ones resources even II that were
the last Of it and the worst Of It
This present of one million dollars
would have no value however, onl,
such as would attach to so much sta
tionery unless the people Of the com
munity would be willing to pay e
the franchise holder a price for th'
service rendered that would yield
dividend on this million dollars o
, stock
Look at it carefully therefore, an.
analyze il thoroughly and you VII
find that the community would giV'
away something that was considered
to be worth a million dollars and tha
after the recipient of the gift foun'
himself in possession of 1t he charg
ed to and proceeded to collect th'
interest on the million dollars from
those who gave it to him. Thus
it pays it will be seen that the com
munity once had in its possession
something that was worth a million
dollars and gave it away.
A second thought will reveal tha
J they not only gave away something

Fashions and Fads by M. E. CiIIey

All kinds of laces appear in diff
ferent parts of new dresses, and there
is a tendency toward the biggest lace
vogue known for some time.
Fringe will be seen on nearly all
OF the new costumes for afternoon and
evening wear, on house gowns, negli-
gee, parasols and even on hats.
The early fall tendency in tailored
suits is strongly toward suits having
trimming on the collars. cuffs and
revers and occasion lly on the skirts.
Buttons are very prominent. Even
ing dresses show button trimming or
the simulated buttons made of rhine
stones. with various styles of heads.
Long coats are the new features on
tailored suits. Long sleeves also have
been shown by many designers, but
no dictum in this matter is yet abb
solute.
New black waists specially design
ed for mourning wear are trimmed
either in crepe or plain black. They
show wide collars, girdles and sur
plice lines.
In street coats the regulation sleeve
still prevails. but many novel effects
are produced by the trimming of the
cuffs, which are made to correspond
with the collar.
Single revers on coats are used with
beautiful pleatings OF lace and null
peeping forth In all their glory. The
pliss, the jabot and the cravat are de-
cidedly to be reckoned with in the
winter outfit.
Fur on the edge OF hats, coats
wraps and gowns will again be worn
Tanless ermine holds first place fol
evening as trimming on muffs, scarfi
and wraps.
A double row Of buttons of en-
broidered silk outlined with buttoI
loops of silk or embroidery trim man,
of the smartest modes from the necl
down to the bottom of the skirt, o.
from the waist line down.
Black velvet has been made up init
long coats for afternoon wear. Cap
coats, by the way. are quite the new
est thing. Frequently straight Goa
will have an outer capelike arrange
ment reaching to the hem OF the skirt
The kimono sleeve continues TO b'
used a great deal I'm evening wraps
Sometimes the sleeve is set In severa
inches below the shoulder line, but II
every case It is made sufficiently larg'
for the garment to be easily slipped
on or of.
One Of the new millinery shapes II
called the gable house It's two side
slant down sharply from the top o
the head to below the ears, and th'
trimming is usually a daring and de
fiant bow perched on one side.
Ermine, seal musquash, baum mar
ten, blue fox. skunk, black lynx and
white lynx, Australian oppossum an6
yellow fox are all exploited In Tho
new stoles, pelerines and muffs. Some
of the long stoles are particularly
graceful, being fashioned on the fchu'
pelerine effect.
Some of the new fall waists show
the cheyenne effect This is &C
quired by the use of embroidery edg
ing below the shortened waist line
narrow laces being employed to fnisl
off the bottom edge Of the embroidel,
in some of the models.

Prejudice is a hard thing to over
come, but where health is at stake and
the opinion Of thousands of reliable
people differ from yours, prejudice
then becomes your menace and you
ought to lay it aside. This is said
in the interest of people suffering from
chronic constipation, and it is worthy
of their attention.
In the opinion of legions of reliable
American people the most stubborn
constipation imaginable can he cured
by brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. You may not have heard of
it before, but do not doubt its merhs
on that account, or because it has not
been blatantly advertised. 1t has sod
very successfully On word Of mouth
recommendation. Parents are giving
X to their children today who were
given it by their parents. and it has
been truthfully said that more drug
gists use it personally in their families
than any other laxative.

FOR LITTLE BOYS.

There is no suit that the little boy
wears which is more becoming than
the one in real Russian style. Here
is a model that is buttoned right up
to the shoulder, just after the original
manner, and which will be found de-
sirable for all materials that are used
for boys suits. This one is made
of white galatea trimmed with band
ing Il is pretty and it is service
able. and washable materials Of tbs
kind are much used at all seasons,
but the suit could be made from serge
or from wool cheviot, from shepherds 3
check or from any similar suiting
material with equal propriety. Also
the model is pretty one for the vel
vet suit worn upon very formal oc-
casions. Blue serge with bands OF
black silk braid would make a prac-
teal, serviceable and handsome suit.
White serge with bands Of white braid
would be extremely charming, and the
model suits both equally well. The
blouse is laid in a single box plat al
fhe front and one at the back. Il
includes a pocket that is sure to APP
cal to the wearer. The knicker-
lockers are Of the regulation sort

CHAPTER X.
What the Dawn Brought.

The man rose from his seat at the
foot of the bunk and, with restless
strides, began pacing back and forth
in the narrow limits of the little hut.
The girl lay still, but her eyes follow
ed him. Her thoughts were keeping
step with his.
There's not much faith in the
world, that's true" she said presently.
And yet, that's not exactly the
worlds fault. When people haven't
anything else to walk by, they have
to walk by sight" she hesitated a
little there, feeling for the words she
wanted. 1T was so easy" she went
on at last, ito clear you Of the aAing
they thought you did yesterday.
Couldn't you give them a chance to
believe the truth about the other
thing too? There must be something
you could reveal about that old charge
that would wash out the stain of it
something that would make Tom sec
the falsity of 1t as clearly as I DO"
NO." he said; that was neve pos
sible. It's less possible than ever
now"
That involuntary admission told her
much. If the thing she suggested
were less possible now than it had been
before, then, somehow or other, the
vindication must have rested in Perry
Hunters hands. But the finality of
his voice and the dumb agony she saw
in his face, as he paced back and
forth. beside her, prevented her from
following up the admission, or urging
him any further.
He pulled himself up sharply and
looked at his watch. ut will be day
light in two hours now" he said
when It comes Wen signal to the
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1911-05-18

himself. He knew, at least, that no
must have done 80, when, rousing
with a start and springing to his feet,
he saw a ray Of sunshine splashed
golden upon the opposite wall OF the
hut. 1t must have been light for
hours.
Very silently, very cautiously he UNI
barred the door and pulled 1t open. Be-
fore opening the outer door, he drew
his revolver and spun its cylinder UNI
derneath his thumb-nail. If the re-
pulsed party from the Walrus were
camped near by, it would be well to
be cautious before accommodating.
He pulled the outer door a little way
open and glance slantwise up the
beach. The brilliant light dazzled him
and made 1t hard to see; but appar-
emily there was no one there. Step
ping outside, he turned his gaze In
land, along the foot Of the cliff. His
mind was entirely ~preoccupied with
the danger Of a sudden rush Of enc
mics from near at hand.
That is how It happened that, for
quite a minute after he opened the
door and stepped outside, he did not
cast a single glance seaward. He
did not look in that direction, until
he saw that Jeanne, awakened by the
daylight in the hut, was standing in
the doorway. Her own eyes, puzzled.
incredulous, only half awake, were
gazing out to sea. The expression ne
saw In her face made him turn, sud
denly, and look.

find you've made. In the meantime,
you must go to sleep. You hardly
slept at all while l was reading"
81 hardly dare go to sleep-not
really deep asleep. II l did I'm afraid
you'd turn out to be all a dream, and
I'd find myself back in my stateroom
on the yacht" She was speaking half
in mockery, but there was an under
tone of seriousness in her voice.
Think how unlikely it Is that all this
can have happened" she went on.
you said this morning you were go
ing to leave US, and l watched you
go.-How can 1t be anything but a
dream that you were hanging aloft
there in the sky, above the fog, ready
to come plunging down when l cried
out for help?"
Il told you once" he said not very
steadily, that one Of us might be
dreaming, but that one was not you"
"You will promise, then" she asked,
that If l go to sleep, I'll wake up
here and not on the yacht, and that
you won't have Disappeared"
II promise" he said seriously.
He seated himself once more at her
feet, switched off the fading light
from the bulIs-eye and drew the
sleeves Of her coat cross his shout
ders. Good night" he said.
She answered drowsily.
Warmed a little, and oppressed by
complete exhaustion, he fell asleeI
