The finest kind Of a nei9hserhood

the nlddie-elass neiahborhood

FASHIONS EDICT.

Dame Fashion predicts that taupe,
mole and various colors of this charac-
ter, as we'll as seal brown, wood brown
and burgundy will be considered high
style during the winter. They are
seen In many of the best models ex-
hibited in Richmond. In mixtures, gray
and black, black and white, blue and
brown, and green and brown are very
desirable and many of these have
brighter colored threads woven in with
the fabric. These colors are such as
king blue, peacock green, geranium,
begonia and maroon.
Velveteen and charmeuse in plain
or brocaded patterns are big sellers,
1t is said, and plain and fancy serges
have been largely taken.

total of school enrolment in 1910
would have been 20,731,645 if the per-
