The black and striped silks are
wonderfully good for the afternoon in
formal frocks and one lovely white
silk crepe striped In red like a pep
permint stick was the envied possess
sion OF a dark-haired belle at a re-
cent Broadway theatrical opening.
The skirt was simply draped. ilaring
out triangularly over the hips. The
waist cut all in one piece opened
down the front over a sheer vest Of
tulle while a fitted frill Of moire and
a smart black hemp hat smack upon
one side TO reveal the gray of powder
ed locks completed the ravlshing en-
semble. In words Of the gallery she
certainly looked the candy kid.
Children seem TO be as much ruff
fled over the new fashions as their
elders Frocks for the five year olds
have tiers OF rufiies about the hip to
give a bouffant silhouette just like
mammals. Quaint little short waisted
dresses Of pompadour taffetas and
brilliant hued Poiret silks have tiny
pinked ruchings around the bottom Of
the skirts and an adorable little pleat-
ed flesh colored chiffon has a smock-
ed yoke and girdle OF deeper rose
while the skirt Is cunningly hobbled
with a band or shocking.
For little lads the David Copper

which fasten high up on the waist
with large white pearl buttons are

If lovely woman wants TO put the best
foot foremost this season she must
see TO it that it be shod in bronze.
Though the idol Of Fashion has clay
feet, yet they are sure to be bronze
coated. Indeed it we're almost bet

want the stamp of sartorial approval
you must do your own stamping in
bronze boots.
One of the loveliest of the new
bronze models is dubbed the Ostend.
II mas the Colonial tongue, but spurn-
ing the buckle, a neat little strap
fastens it on one side with a button
of cut steel or bronze. OF course,
this model is developed in black,
white and gunmetal, of kid, suede, or
cloth, but il is when of bronze kid
that it has reached its acme of per-
lection.
The elaorate strapping OF the tango
slipper is shown to advantage in tne
bronze kid and another pretty er-

crossing over the instep and fasten-
ing with 1eweled buttons on each
side. The debutante still clings to the
flat heeled pump and sandal but for
her more seasoned sisters the higher
the French heel the more it is to
their sole satisfaction.
Both white and bronze hued silk

bronze a base metal?

burning after II o'clock. Some hose
was received from Hopkinsville and
effective use was made of it in com.
batting the flames, but the Nashville
fire engines arrived too late to be OF
any rvice.
Sparks from the burning buildings
were carried by the wind for a mile
or more. Many of them fell on the
court house which, it was believed,
was in imminent danger, but the wet
state of the building probably pre-
vented 1t from catching fire. How
ever, the Hurst Boilin wholesale
grocery store and Elder-C onroy
wholesale hardware store, on the
same side of the street as the Lillian
theater but separated from it by a
cross street, caught fire several
times, but the flames were extin-
guished before any considerable
damage was done.
The Lillian theater, which wes de-
stroyed. was erected last year at a
cost of $21 600. and was owned by
Tony Sudekum, of Nashville. With
its furnishings, it was insured for
$50, 200.
During the height of the confiag-
ration, while thousands of spectators
were congregated about the burning
buildings, the west walls of the
opera house fell outward, and large
number Of people had narrow es.
capes. but no one was hurt. During
the burning of the coca cola works,
chemicals stored in the building ex-
ploded, producing loud report, but
it was ascertained on investigation
that no one was injured in the explo-
sion.
/ During the progress of the fire a
pole fell on the new automobile fire
engine of the city, badly wrecking
1t and putting it out of commission.
All the fire-fighting apparatus of the
city was brought into requisition,
including the old reserve fire en-.
gines. but, deprived of the new au.
tomobile fire engine, the firemer
worked with less effectiveness thar
would otherwise have been possible

Clarksville. Tenn. Dec. 3d.
Clarksville was the scene of one of
the worst confsgrations init history
Tuesday night. The loss is estimat-
ed at $3.50, 900. Beginning at Elders
opera house at $50 o'clock it swept
the entire block. consisting of the
Clarksville Coca Cola works, Griz-
zard & Co.'S general grocery store,
Perkins & Grizzard Hardware com
pany's store, Postal Telegraph Office,
g. S. Moore's gun and bicycle repair
shop and the GAINESVILLE Buggy COM
pany's plant. Then crossing the
street, it wiped out the Lillian mo-
ton picture theater, one of the finest
theaters of the kind in the South.
Next to this came the Purity Candy
Kitchen, and adjoining this came the
E. B. Ely confectionery store. which
was damaged.
Help was telegraphed for from
Nashville and Hopkinsville, both
cities responding promptly.
The Daily Leaf Chronicle plant was
damaged, but it will issue its regular
edition today.
All the wires in town are down
and the electric plants have been
suspended.
The fire originatedin the basement
of Elders opera house, a four-story
structure. and was discovered about
$50 o'clock, butt is believed that
it must have been. burning for at
least two hours at that time, judging
from the start which it had gained,
although the manager of the opera
house, who left the building at 6
o'clock. states that at that time he
observed no evidence Of fire.
That the flames spread with such
rapidity was due to the high wind
which was blowing from the north
west, and the destruction would
doubtless have been much greater
but for the wet state of the sur
rounding buildings. due to the
recent heavy rain.
Although the fire was under con-
troll at $3.50 o'clock. before the Nash
vile fire apparatus and companies
arrived on the scene. it was still

London, Dec. 30.-The American
note protesting against the British
treatment of American commerce
and insisting on an early improve
ment came as complete surprise to
the British public, as there had beer
virtually no intimation that any
friction had arisen between the two
governments.
Placards posted by the evening
papers we're given over exclusively
to the American note and the pa
pers gave it the largest headlines
they have given any news during the
past month. Consequently the
British people regard this as one of
the most important occurrences of
the whole war.
Nothing of the kind since Presi.
dent Cleveland's Venezuelan mes
sage has produced such sensation.
The first impression of the public
is that the note may create friction
and perhaps some unfriendly talk,
although the newspapers point out
that it specifically states that the
representations were made in
friendly spirit.
|. Even the war news was allotted a
secondary place to the note in the
news columns of the papers, al.
though that coming from the Rus
sian front was highly gratifying to
the allies. There has been a slack
ening of the fighting in the northern
Poland, between the lower Vistula
and Pilica rivers, where the Russians
have captured some German
trenches, prisoners and guns-an in
dication. it is believed here, that the
German frontal attack on the army
guarding Warsaw has been definite
ly checked.
The latest news is that battle lines
in the East and West have under

the past few days. The French and
German reports agree that the Ger
mans have captured a section Of

To Discuss Conditions Of The
Tobacco Market But Take
No Definite Action.
FRANK RTvES PRESIDED.
Many Speakers Heard And Com
mittee Named To Report at
Another Meeting Jan. A.

A large number of farmers attend
cd the meeting at the Avalon Tues
day, called to consider ways and
means for securing better prices for
tobacco. Il is estimated that as many
as $40 were present.
Former State Senator Frank Rives
was chairman and Ben Moore secre-
tary. A number of speeches were
made and it was pointed out that
the war in Europe had so unsettled
the export tobacco demand. which
takes the bulk of the crop grown
here, that neither buyers nor sellers
know what true values we're and the
best means for overcoming the
trouble was for the farmers to hold
their tobacco in their barns until
they were offered acceptable prices
for it.
Every speaker voiced the opinion
that in time the market would adjust
itself and that then good prices
would be paid. Some advised reduc-
ing the crop this coming year and
some called attention to the fact
that the delivery of tobacco in poor
condition had helped to reduce prices.
A resolution was adopted author
izing Chairman Rives to appoint a
committee of three growers from
each voting precinct in the county
and to call another meeting at a
suitable time to perfect the plans.
adopt a pledge to be used, etc.
Chairman Rives stated he would ap-
point this committee at once and
another meeting would he held on
Monday, January d.
A committee of five Tullahoma,
Tennessee, growers were here to see
what was done and get line on mar
ket conditions, the tobacco of that
section having been unstable up to
this time. Probably a similar plan
will be adopted there.
