Venetian Velvet.

A Venetian velvet recently imported
is so light in weight that it has been
well named here as "cobweb." While
it comes in all the new colors, in none
is it more beautiful than in that lovely
new green called cascade, because of
it's quality of rejecting the color OF a
waterfall as seen from below. The
color seems to have been created for
exploiting the wonderful high lights
and shadows the graceful folds Of cob
web velvet gives to it.

something pink around her, shoulders
and the night lamp burning beside the
bed.

over and put her hand on my arm.
"Will you sit down and try to tell
me just what you mean?" she said.

Well, had to tell her then about
who Mr.. Pierce was and why / had to
get him, and she understood almost
at once. She was the most understand
ing girl ever met. She saw at once
what Mr. Sam wouldn't have known
in thousand years-that wanted to
save the old place-not to keep my po-
sition-but because I'd been there SO
long, and my father before me, and had
helped to make it what it was and

PerishahIe Materials.

Everything nowadays, except lace
and jewels. seems to be perishable in
very short space. Tulle, chiffon, silk
velvets and taffetas moire have no
stsAnnina, and even furs are dressed
and cut about to such an extent that
they are utterly fragile. And yet, with
all this, we are progressing toward
common sense in our way Of dressing.
We no longer tight lace, we need not
pinch our toes, it is very bad taste to
wear glove a size too small, and we
wear much less false hair than we did
a year or two ago.

around the neck and fasten the clasp,
then take the two ends and draw up
on the hat, drawing the veil into place
as heretofore. 1t will be very neat
and there will be no raw edge. This
new idea increases the wear of the
veil and keeps 1t fresh looking as long
as it lasts.
The very latest word in wells is a
pale lavender with strange black fig-
ures that seem only to be on the sur
face of the mesh.

sewed on by machine when the veil
is purchased If the customer desires 1t.

Table Manners of the Past.

Modern table manners compare ia
vorably with those Of the past. Mrs.
Hannah Woolley, author of The Gen
tlewoman's Companion the standarf
seventeenth century book on etiquette,
found it necessary thus to warn her
readers: Gentlemen, discover not by
any ravenous gesture your angry ap-
petite, nor fix your eyes too greedily
on the meat before you, as if you
would devour more that way than
your throat would swallow. &.

There is, Of course, large poetical
license in this denouement. The real
truth is, we suppose, that by listening
to any sound long enough you can get
to like it, and sigh for it, and imagine
all manner of beauty in it. Some day
soon, for example, we shall undoubted-
ly see an orchestra composed exclu-
sively of the instrument of the hour,
the electric automobile horn-and
perhaps have an automobile opera
written by the great Strauss with a
choir of these seasick elephants in the
band. Why not?
And where will the bagpipe be then.

Humorous Error.

Mr.. f. R. Benson, the wellknown

he achieved fame as a runner. and
when touring with his companions he

That Is the Only Way to Succeed, Says
Business Man.
When a young man Is ready to enter
a business career and succeeds in find
ing his first position he must enter 1t
filled with enthusiasm and with the
firm determination to succeed, says
Louis Eisendrath, in the Washington
Herald. He must devote all Of his time
and use his best energies in behalf of
his employer; he should have but one
object in view, and that is to endeavor
to please and satisfy and fulfil the du-
ties expected of him, and If he consis-
tently and conscientiously does this, he
Is sure to win.
1t makes no difference whether the
boy starts as a messenger, or as a bum
die boy, or behind the counter; the
chances are as good, in one branch as
they are in another. The development
is within the grasp Of the individual.
One of our large store managers in a
newspaper article said: ~
I'VE offer every employe the chance
Of advancement; 1t all depends on the
boy or the girl to make their future
with u.s." Therefore the boy entering
business and the services of any firm.
must at once take the interest of the
employer to heart. He must be as zeal
Gus as If 1t were his own business. 1t
Is the painstaking and careful boy who
develops into the shrewd, neat and
honest man, all of which Is so essential
and necessary in the success of busi-
ness

Origin of q Shirt Waist.-Now that
the season is about over we will let
you into the secret Of the tail which
fashion decreed for your shirt waists
this season. It seems that Queen Mary
was busy with her morning job OF
washing dishes in Buckingham Palace
one day in the early spring when the
king, who was moving the lawn, noti-
fed her that the duchess Of Marina
lade was knocking at their front door.
The queen ran to her boudoir and sho
hastily into what she thought was her
new shirt waist, then jerked belt
about it and flew to the waiting
duchess. Imagine her horror after the
caller had gone away to find that she
had gotten into one Of the kings shirts
by mistake, and this shirt Of course,
had tails in front and aft just like any
other shirt. Well, the queen was so
mortified she didn't show her face out
side the. palace kitchen for three
weeks. You can imagine her astonish-
ment when she finally ventured out to
a finch party to find every woman
present wearing a shirt waist with
tails. The duchess had spread the
news that the queen was introducing
the style, and the fashion had spread
to our own fair shores before the
thoughtless Mary knew what awful
consequences were going to follow that
unfortunate episode.-Monroe County

ROMANCE OF A POLICY
An Investment Made in 1865 Returns
to Widow.

C. A. Rose, of Enochville, one of the
county's splendid citizens, was in Sal
| isbury Monday on an unusual mission.
He was acting as agent for Mrs. j. G.
Anderson. of his neighborhood, and
came to collect and receipt for some
| insurance money due on account Of a
policy carried by her late husband,
according to information which was
accidentally discovered five years
after Mr.. Anderson's death.
Mr.. Anderson was of Scotch descent,
having been born in Aberdeen, Scot
land. He and several brothers came
to this country and located for time
in Baltimore, Md. One of the brothers
became one of the head officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The sub
ject of this sketch was a member of
the Baltimore Home Guards and took
out a $4,000 policy while there, in the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance COM
pany of Newark, n. j. He made two
payments and then took a paid up
policy for $1,000. From there he went
to Richmond, Va, then to Raleigh, N.
c., and finally landed in Mount Pleas
ant, Cabarrus county. Here he met
his wife. After marriage they lived
together until Mr.. Anderson's death
almost five years ago. Mr.. Anderson
never said anything of his insurance,
and the policy was in the keeping of
his brother in Baltimore, who also
died some years ago. In the brothers
papers this policy was found, but no
one knew of the whereabouts of it's
owner. Finally a letter was passed be-
tween relatives and a hint of the pol
icy was made. This started an in
vestigation and upon learning the
name of the company In which the
policy was carried, the rest was easy.
The widow was surprised and great
ly pleased to know that a policy had
been issued to her husband in Febru
airy, 1865, and that the interest had
been accumulating since his death
which took place next February five
years ago, making the policy worth

their activities and by their own over
activities injure the body even fatally.
Why these cells that have been harmon
iously living with their neighbors
should suddenly take on this aggressive
activity we do not know. When we do
know we shall have found the cause Of
cancer. Perhaps 1t is due to an irrita-
ton of some kind; often it seems to be
the chronic irritation Of the scar Of an
old injury. Perhaps 1t may be a mi
crobe of some kind that gains entrance
and causes the cells to overgrow.
After all, we have no explanation for
the fact that after cells have been
growing regularly for many years they
stop and do not grow any more, as a
rule. Every human being begins in a
minute bit Of protoplasm, something
less than one one hundredth Of an inch
in diameter, which divides in two and
then in four, and so on until we have
an adult human being with many bill
lions of cells.
Why does this single cell sometimes
make an individual five feet high, at
other times six feet, occasionally even
seven feet in height? There Is some
thing that stops the division Of cells
and all further growth at certain
point but something that stimulates 1t
up to that point. We have definite
knowledge now that check and stimu-
lus are both due to the activities OF
certain glands in the human body
which act and react on one another
and upon the cells around them so as
to regulate growth. These glands,
which we thought quite unimportant,
are the so-called ductless glands, which
used to be classed as the useless or
gans. They are themselves products
of the original single cell in which the
human and every animal being begins.
The mystery of life, then, still con-
tinues to be battling. Our observa-
tions in recent years have their coun-
ter in certain familiar manifestations
of the older time, but now experiment
tai biology Is helping us to solve many
of the doubtful questions.
In many cases of death, as for In
stance from drowning, the tissues re-
main absolutely unchanged, yet where
there was life before there Is now no
life; something has gone out that CO.
ordinated the physical and chemical
forces of the body, kept them at work,
prevented them from interfering with
each other, kept the cells in equilibri-
um and was the source of all the ener-
gy in the body. There is the bathing
mystery of life-and Of death.-New
York Herald.
