LATEST FAD IN NEGLIGEES
Vassar Robe Is Cut Along Old Lines,
and Yet Is Something of
Novelty.

Neatest and newest in long negli-
dark blue cashmere or fannelette,
which is made with a deep yoke and
three-quarter straight sleeves cut in
one, the seven-gored skirt being so
sharply slanted that it fits without full
ness into the yoke. Also made with
cut in one piece sleeves is a square
necked, center-seamed back negligee.
This model, which is prettiest when
developed in some soft worsted or silk
en- fabric and bordered with fancy rib
bon, has narrow underarm forms in
addition to four full length cores. A
diagonal front, closing at the waist
line, shows pointed guimpe of mus
lin embroidery matching the under
sleeves. supplementing the cloth ell
bow sleeves, which are slashed half
way to the shoulders.
An attractive modification of the
kimono has three shoulder plaits in
front and a bias back attached to a
bolero-shaped deep yoke. The bell
sleeves, the loose fronts and the girdle
are bordered with narrow ribbon. This
model is dainty in albatross of pale
tint, bordered with white satin ribbon
or of white chudda with colored rib
bon. On Amerioanized lines is pret-
ty kimono which is closely plated
across the shoulders at front and back
and is charming when developed in
white crepe de chine or pongee lined
with tinted cashmere and having fac
ings, cuffs and sash of soft silk match
ing the shade of the lining.
.Pongee is a favorite material for
Pullman robes of regulation Japanese
shape supplemented by hood which
will completely conceal disheveled
locks, and a capacious pocket for toi-
let articles. In this connection 1t may
be said that Pullman robe should be
of some light shade. as in case of az
cident the wearer is more likely to be
noticed and consequently promptly
rescued.

pronsr WAY to Fasten a Klmono.

of flowers and a box of exquisite

NEW IDEAS IN DECORATIONS
Color Schemes for Bedrooms That
VIII Be Change From Designs
So Long in Use.

The modern girl is rather tired OF
the pale rose and blue bedrooms OF
the past, and welcomes any new color
scheme that is attractive. Here are a
few suggestions that have become
commonplace:
Walls of soft cream color with
stencil design in mauve shades. Hang-
ing of ashes of roses linen, and 1ur-
niture of wicker work stained a SOFT
sbrownish purple. Band of cream col
ored linen with the stenciled designs
may be appliqued on the hangings OF
the room such as the curtains and
cushion covers, and the rugs on the
floor should be soft Oriental colors.
Another attractive room could be
arranged In the pale shades of the Gle
MATHS. The walls are colored in the
tints of this bloom In Its lilac nues,
and the woodwork should be In the
same shade of clematis, with gray
tone In its depths. Soft lilac cur
tains. bedspread and covers should
be In the same shade stenciled In
pearl gray while the furniture might
be of either gray enamel or brown
wood. Or cretonnes in the clemaus
or wistaria designs could be used.
An all-gray room is charming, but a
little cold unless 1t has here and there
cushions touched with color. The
walls of such a room are tinted or
papered In warm gray, with cream
ceiling which should be brought
down to the picture molding. Gray
enameled furniture is used, and the
cushions, covers and curtains are
gray. stenciled In soft shades of lilac
and green. with soft brown. The rugs
that cover a gray stained floor are of
gray green hues. and the pictures on
the walls should be framed in gray
stained wood and white enamel.

silk Jackets.

For those girls and women who go
IN seriously" for sports in the winter
time some of the houses are showing
very practical skating and toboggan-
ing toggery. This includes always
heavy knickerbockers of waterproofed
tweed, of whipcord or of covert cloth
to be worn under the short skirt. The
knitted caps that may be converted
into regular hoods coming down over
the neck are in favor. For those who
do not wish to increase the apparent
size of their figures with bulky knit
ted or crocheted jackets or vests of
wool, there are warm but thin jackets
knitted from silk thread.

The Seer,s Tomb.

In the course of some excavations
which have been made among. the
ruins of convent church at Salon, in
Provence France. the workmen have
come upon an ancient tomb which is
believed to be that of Nostradamus,
a famous French physician and astrol-
oyer Michel de Notre Dame, to
give him his proper name, was born
at St Remi, Provence, in 1903, and aft
er qualifying as doctor of medicine
established himself at Salon, near AK,
IN Provence. During the terrible out
breaks of plague in that region he ac-
quired considerable renown for his de-
votion and skill in treating those
stricken with the disease. Afterward
he achieved a reputation as a seer.
and in 1855 published book of rhymed
prophecies under the title of THE
Centuries" and the apparent fulfill
ment of some of them greatly in
creased his influence.

An ingenious Scheme.

The musical code would be a dis
tinct novelty In wireless telegraphy,
vet no one can deny it is merely a
subtle development of the art OF the
ordinary bugler. The tunes" could
be heard also, no matter how much
confusion was attempted by the op-
orator of ordinary wireless systems.
The manner in which these musical
notes are caused is very ingenious.
The continuous train of waves still
travels outward from the sending
aerial to the receiver, but by means
of controlling effect produced when
a key is depressed on the keyboard
the waves are alternately brought to
great strength and diminished until
quite feeble.

Miss REM Graduates.

Gainesville, Ca, March 17.-On
the afternoon of March 10, Miss
Elise Rentz, of Bamberg S. c., gave
her graduating pianoforte recital in
Brenau auditorium. The program
was beautifully rendered, and her re-
cital was one of the most brilliant
that has ever been given at Brenau.
Miss Rentz is talented young stu
dent, and has worked faithfully. She
is a pupil of Otto W. G. Pfefferkorn,
one of the best known teachers in
this country.
For the recital the stage was beau
tifully decorated in ferns, palms, and
cut flowers; the boxes were occupied
by her sorority sisters of the Mu Phi
Epsilon Sorority, who presented her
with beautiful bouquet of pink and
white carnations.
Miss Rentz's many friends wish her
joy and success in the musical career
which she is planning for herself.

"OLD ACTON HOUSE" BURNED.
Fire Destroys Home Of Gen. Sumter
Memorial Academy.

Wedgefeld, March 18.-The "Old
Acton House," near Statesburg, was
burned this morning. The building
has been used for the last five years
by Col. Dargan for the Gen. Sumter
Memorial Academy. This house was
built in the early years of the last
century by some of the Kinlochs,
when they moved up to Statesburg
from Georgetown. 1t was afterwards
owned by some of the Nelson's for
years and was after them owned
and used as a residence by Mrs.
Julian Ravenel.
1t was one of the finest houses in
the country and was connected with
great deal of the past history of the
old Statesburg neighborhood. For
tunately most of the furniture was
saved.

T. B. Fielder, the Atlanta attorney,
may have written the letter to H. H.
Evans, made public by the governor
last. Saturday, and then he may not
have. Certainly his record as a
shrewd lawyer and graft hunter
would indicate that he would have
more sense than to write such let
ter, granting that he was mixed up
in the dispensary rottenness in the
days of good stealing. But there are
several circumstances connected with
the letter which need to be explained,
chief of which is why this letter was
not made public before. It's publica-
tion can do no good now when Eel
der's work is finished, yet it purports
to have been written in 1905. Why
did not Mr.. Evans make public the
letter then? And why, oh why did
the governor make the letter public
last Saturday when the trial of H. H.
Evans was to take place in Newberry
on Monday? There is significance
about this which must appeal to every
unprejudiced mind.

some very foolish things lately, but
the most foolish action of his record
so far is the removal of the mem

facts to show why he should not be
