Ernbroideries Lace and Fur and Are Extremely

Corsages Covered With Ennbroideries

these designs are enriched with little
porcelain beads and with embroidery
silks a very smart and uncommon
waistcoat is obtained
This winter such walstcoats as these
will be worn with tailored suits in navy
serge or in black velvet. The suit will
be simple in detail, but with the adj
dition of the brocaded waistcoat a very
attractive and desirable costume will be
realized. The revival of brocaded
waistcoats was certain when once the
Partisan tailors had decided that we
were to adopt Louis XIV. and Louis
XIV. coats. One thing follows upon an
other and the elaborate coat called for
a suitable waistcoat
Tole de jouy Is also being used in this
connection, but for fall and winter wear
a firm make of brocade is considered
more suitable. Every effort is made to
obtain subtle and unexpected combina-
tions of color. This is necessary because
the coats and skirts themselves seem TO
err on the plai in side.
I'll might he said that the Louis XIV.
outline could never be plain" which
in way is true But these new suits
will be practically untrimmed. They

Nearly all the new winter capes are
very long and full. They are of the
| Florentne shape and extremely pic
! ,uresque when correctly worn. Many OF
these capes are set into round yoke,
after the manner of the long cloth
cloaks worn by the Irish peasants They
are lined with some bright colored satin
or with brocaded Satin and with the
addition of a fur collar they will make
ideal wraps for afternoon wear in
winter.
Ii Is no longer the fashion to have
straps on the fronts of long capes unless
when the garment Is Intended for
. travelling wear. These straps take
away from the picturesque outline oi

women OF high position Immediately
went to their tailors and ordered similar
garments.

NEW PARIS BAGS.

THE novelty for the autumn shop
/ per is to be found on the Rue de
la paix in the form of q frame for
| the new handbag. 1t is oval in shape
| and is made Of a real amber or tortoise
! shell. The bags are of silk or velvet to
match the costume. are rather shallow
! and broad and fulled into the frame.
/ a velvet or silk ribbon with slides to
| correspond with the frame is used as
| a handle. Inside one may have what
| ever Is desired in the way OF fittings
| from a change purse to complete
vanity outfit. All are made with the
amber or tortoise shell They are very
| expensive, and as yet the imitation
| frames have not been made Gold or
| silver rivets are used as an added deco
/ ration.
| Bunches of tiny ostrich piumes not
| more than three, inches in length, COM
! posed of five or six colors, are used to
| trim the plain felt sailor hats, which are
! also small. No other trimming is used
| except the plain ribbon band around
| the crown. The hat like all others, is
| worn very far to one side.
It IL no longer chic to wear an en-
gagement ring next to the wedding
| ring. The plain gold band (already
platinum is passe) must be alone in its
! glory, while the engagement ring Is
| worn on the little finger of the left
| hand 1t should be a diamond sur
| rounded by colored stones, set quite
| low and flat. OF course no other rings
must ever be worn on that hand.
Long names and many initials are no
! longer smart. One must be satisfied
| with a Christian name and a surname
! If they would be quite up to the latest
| in the world of fashion Even a mar
red woman is not entitled to more than
| two initials If she considers herself
| smart Perhaps the idea is due to the
| fact that monograms of two letters are
usually more artistic than when three
! letters are used and certainly easier to
| decipher.
| Colored handkerehiefs are being used.
Made in fine linen to match the cos
tune. II the color is light; to go with
dark gowns the handkerchiefs must be
| vivid. such as red orange green or
purple They are made of an exquisite
quality of linen and hand hemstitched,
the hens being about a quarter of an
inch wide. The monogram is embroid-
cred in a darker shade than the hand
kerchief.
The very latest wrist watch. is ex-
ceedingly small. and instead OF the usual
bracelet of platinum gold or silver, 1t
is made of MORE ribbon one-half inch
wide double and fastened with buckle
or clasp. Some of the watches are
scarcely larger than a five cent piece
the face surrounded with jewels. The
clasps for the ribbon are also ieweled.
Black MORE ribbon one-half inch wide
is used for lorgnettes in place of the
usual grosgrain: in fact MORE ribbon
is used exclusively. and every one Is
wearing 1t around the neck. hanging to
about the waist line, pendant of
some sort hanging from It, Gold or jew
elled slides are frequently seen. and
they naturally correspond with the
pendant.

PARKER STORE BURNED.
Damage at Providence Estimated a,
$5,5OO-Insurance $3,4OO.

Mr.. E. w. Parker of Providence
suffered a severe loss last Monday
night when his store and warehouse
were burned, causing a loss estimated
at more than $500. The insurance
on the store and stock of goods was
$3,4Oo, although Mr.. Parker stated
that the loss, considering the trouble
winch 1t has caused him, would
amount to nearly $4,000.
The fire caught in the back of the
store at between Il and II o'clock at
night and before anyone reached the
scene 1T had burned the back of the
store and was spreading so far toward
the front that it was impossible to en-
ter and save any Of the office fixtures
or papers. Mr.. Parker and others had
been in the store until about 8 o'clock
that night and had extinguished all
lights before they left. There were
no matches in the store, for Mr.. Par
ker had had looked for some to sell
shortly before the store was closed
and could not find any.
He thinks that some one must have
robbed the store and then set it on
fire to hide the robbery. Cartridges
in the store made it dangerous for
any one to approach the building. as
they were exploded by the fire. The
store was one of the handsomest and
largest country stores in the county
and it's destruction is a loss to the
community as we'll as q heavy loss to
Mr.. Parker, who stated tnat he would
not be able to rebuild at any time
soon.

SHOOTING AT MECHANICSVILLE
White Man Named Driggcrs Accident
ally Killed by Wallace Atkinson.

1t is reported here that a white
man named Driggers was shot at Me-
chanlcSville Sunday afternoon by
Wallace Atkinson, a fifteen-year-old
boy, and that he died later from the
effects of the wound. The shooting is
said to have been accidental.
From what meagre information
could be secured. it seems that young
Atkinson was showing Driggers, who
was about % or % years old, how to
work pistol, which he had. While
handling the pistol it went off and the
ball took effect in Driggers, who died
several hours later.
1t is stated that the inquest was held
Monday, but the coroner of Lee coun-
ty could not be located over the tele-
phone Tuesday morning and the ver-
dict is not known.
