store several miles from town, had
occasion to enter his store on Christ
mas day and when he did so was
met by a negro about Is years of

seven miles west of town, in the
neighhorhood ofDeep Creek church,
brings the report to town that some
wild animal, supposed to be bear.

his section. Mr.. Price says this
beast has killed forty Or fifty hogs
for him, also several of his neigh

The presence of this animal in the
neighbornood has created great eX-
element and the neighbors are
taking it by turns trying to capture
it. Several report that they can see
it by moonlight nights but they can
not get close enough to get fair
shot at it. Some colored people say
they have seen the beast in the day

I'll Jones Captured.

Ed Jones, who killed Turner
Virgins ON Mr.. D. f. Taylor's farm
one Saturday night last fall, was
captured at Windsor last week.
Chief G. II. Johnson went over
Thursday to bring Jones back but
+he authorities refused to give him
up, claiming THAI he was also a fug-
tive from Virginia and that re.
ward was offered for him in that
State. 1t is thought, however, that
arrangements can be made for the
return Of Jones to Halifax county
for trial.

LEAP YEAR GERaAN.
Given By the Young Ladies Compli.
mentety to the German Club.

One Of the very incest affairs OF
the holiday season took place IN
Madry's hail Tuesday evening when
the young ladies gave their leap
wear german. The dance was given
complimentary to the lroqnois Ger
man Club. who had been their hosts
on so many previous occasions, and
accepting the expressions of delight
prevalent in every remark OF those
taking part, they could not have
chosen a better way Of showing their
appreciation.
The manner in which the affair
was managed would have reflected
unusual credit even on those thor
oughly acquainted with handling
such events. The engagement cards
were given out, just as announced,
promptly at nine-thirty O'Clock fol-
lowing which the ladies had full
possession of the floor exercising
their leap year right of making the
dances entirely according to their
own choosing. They were. however.
extremely gracious and thoughtful
and throughout the whole evening
none of the gentlemen suffered be-
ing "wall flower
| The opening march, simple but
pretty, was led at quarter to ten
o'clock. and from then on until Ole
o'clock, alternating between slow
dreamy waltzes and marches for the
german figures, the dancers were ir
one continuous whirl of pleasure.
| Miss Matte Josey, dancing witt
Henry T. Clark, led the german, ane
both the participants and the spec
tators spoke in complimentary terms
on the figures. The figure that at
tracted especial attention was Whel

LITTLE JOURNEYS INTO
THE FASHION LAND

COME fascinating afternoon frocks in

full skirts, adorned with a trimming
composed OF two deep fiounces OF
cream-colored mechlin lace. The
bodices are draped with fichu folds Of
the same fine dentelle. and. to COM
plete the costumes, charming little
coats In shot taffetas are provided
trimmed with lace at the neck and
wrists. and lined with soft satin.
Comparatively short taffeta coats OF
this kind will be worn all through the
summer, and they will look equally
well with gowns In shot taffetas to
match, or with dresses in lace. in
charmeuse, or In silk wolfe, chosen in
contrasting shades. A pretty effect is
also being obtained by the arrange
ment of shot taffeta underskirt COW

Detachable Hat Trimmings.

THE slowing away OF a number Of
! hats Is one Of the most difficult prob
lens when packing. Even the most roomy
hat box will scarcely hold the hats of
this season. which are not only large In
circumference, but built high with
aigrettes and bows. To overcome this
Inconvenience, hat trimmings may be
built on a separate narrow bandeau
which slips over the outside Of the crown
of the hat and can be adjusted to SUIT
ones fancy.
This trimmed bandeau Is removed when
the hat is packed, and it will accommo-
date itself to q much smaller space than
II 1t were sewed on the hat. Several un-
trimmed frames may be packed one upon
Der Of trimmed bands. To prevent these
from shaking about and getting crushed
all spaces should be filed in with crum-
pied tissue paper.
When shape is found to be particular
~ becoming, several bands may be built
to harmonic with different costumes.
The wired band Is made Of a bias strip
of buckram large enough to slip over and
mt the crown at the lower edge. It may
then be covered with a material to match
the straw, or with the same color as the
trimming. Ribbons or flowers around the
band form a pretty, low trimming, or
the band may be left plain and incon-
spicuous, with a fashionable high garni-
ture massed at one side. These finished
bands may be turned and moved about on
the crown until the most becoming angle
is attained. Then they are securely fas-
tened with few pins.

Nets Pretty and Cool.

0NE pretty blouse has mounted upon
- the lower half of a foundation OF
heavy cream net a broad strip OF Alice
blue satin ribbon. which In turn is yelled
with flmy, cream dotted net. Double
rows Of puffings, finished with val ruffles
and separated by shallow cordings of net,
outline a sharp v in front. down the
middle Of which runs a set Of three black
velvet ribbon bows buckled In steel. A
frill Of the dotted net finishes bottom OF
the collar, and at the lower edge of the
elbow sleeves are repeated, the corded
puff1ngs edged with a frill. Above these,
at the back Of the arm is a row Of the
buckle-centered velvet bows.
A charming white net frock is en-
broidered in narrow. wavy lines. which
come quite close together over the hips,
but gradually widen near the bottom.
where the net is fastened to a four-inch
band OF Dutch-pink taffeta. A wide collar
of plated white net closes beneath a small
pink taffeta bow, and extending from this
down the center front Of the frock Is a
row of scallops embroidered with Dutch
pink floss and hanked with small ball
buttons Of pink taffeta. The belt Of
taffeta has q wide bow placed fiat just in
front Of the left arm. The long ends fall
toward the back, although they are
partly seen from tho left side. This frock
is mounted upon q transparent white ma
terial.

Helpful Suggestions.

A NEW shoe tree has been made that is
"a light, inexpensive. and easily ad-
justed. It is fashioned Of aluminium. and
has ventilation holes that allow the shoes,
which are moro or less damp when taken
from the foot. to dry quickly. This
tree has adjustable heels. SO that they
fit in any size shoe. 1t folds up into q
very small compass when not in use.
To overcome gaping line of hooks and
eyes, a new hook and eye has recently
been made. It is invisible. and has the
added advantage of being made OF a
strong metal that will not rust. The
eye is small and fat, instead Of rounded.
and the hook is seWed to the garment
through holes at each side. The loop OF
the hook is very short, and is shaped like
the letter m 1t has dent which keeps
1t from slipping out of the eye. and
is caught in four places, one on each Of
the two top loops of the IN" and one
at each of the outer lower points. Only
four hooks and eyes are needed to fasten
q waist or placket.
Another new style Of collar supporter
has been presented. It is made of a
transparent composition, and is adiusta-
BILE to any height. This is accomplished
by the supporter being made of two con-
nected slides, punctured along the sides
with small holes. Thus it is possible to
have supporter Of any height from two
and one-fourth to three and three-fourths
inches. 1t is held in the desired place
by sewing through the holes.

are worm a brassiere or girdle combining
the figure trifle if 1t Is too heavy for
grace. Anything like a corseted effect Is
under the ban-as far as neglige wear Is
concerned. The lines must be as supple
and natural as possible and many OF the
French negliges are worn over a single
garment of glove silk so that every line
of the figure shows as the wearer moves.
One of the most beautiful Of these
shadow negliges is included in the trous-
seau Of bride who Is spending the sum-
mer making a long round OF country
house visits. Three layers Of chiffon form
the garment, the outer one pale blue, the
net creamy bun and the third a rosy
mauve. Each chiffon slip Is edged at the
bottom with a band Of mechlin lace and
each slip falls a little shorter than the
one below, the outer slip having also q
narrow fringe of silver which weights the
floating chiffon. The blue slir was simply
enormous armhole edged with silver
fringe. The buff slip beneath is draped
back to show a short sleeve Of the mauve
chiffon, also edged with silver fringe.
The skillful management Of the chiffon
gives the most exquisite long lines. and

does not show a gather O.. a tuck to lend
