be afraid OF me-" declared Jimmy, and
he started on a journey in search of
trouble
Now usually if you search for
trouble YOU can find it easy enough,
but Jimmy had very bad luck-he
simply couldn't find anything bad to
do.
You see he had been such nice,
proper, helpful little breeze for so
long that no one even guessed he was
looking for trouble and wouldn't even
believe when they were told-stupid
things!
The baby birds thought he had
come to help them and they well
coined him joyously; the sunbeams
thought he had come for frolic, the
flowers asked him to stop and play.
NO no." shouted Jimmy
Southbreeze, 1--WE turned over a new
leaf-Im hunting something very bad
to do-no time TO play todayw and
he blew away as fast as ever he could
But they didn't believe hm-not
they; they knew Jimmy! They said to
each other, Let's just wait and see
what he does"
And if you wait, too, you will hear
all about it tomorrow.

ACROSS
THE COUNTER

The autumn and winter suits displayed
by the shops show a number of features
that stamp them definitely as the product
of the season.
The plain coat and skirt that looked we'll
from year to year is thing set apart for
sports wear, in this fashion era, and alb
solute simplicity of cut and design is mo-
nopolized once moro by the masculine
sex.
When the tide turns however, woman
will. no doubt, appropriate whatever
pleases her fancy in the tailored line.
But now, the coat Is cut not of many
colors, but with so many variations that
1t is hard to know just when coat is a
coat and not the upper part merely of
the costume.
The sash Is often the line of demarca-
ton and the coat ends in wide fiaring
skirt. that at distance resembles the
tunic. In reality. 1t is the redingote
adapted to present modes
Among the blue suits-and blue seems
to hold it's own in popularity-there are
many to be found in good cut and ma
tcrial for s2O and s25, These are offered
by the well-known department stores.

but few, and most of these were married
In our seven years there had but one
proposal OF marriage. He was the village
apothecary. he sang in the village choir,
he squinted dreadfully, and I hated him!
But had just one vestige of a love affair
the year before mother died, when was
25. At a neighboring cottage that summer
an artist arrived. Not a professional
artist, but an amateur one. He stayed
six weeks. and he made painting of our
little cottage, with the roses and honey
suckle clambering over It's whitewashed
walls and peering inquisit!vely in at the
latticed windows. He thought 1t all beau
tlful. Many a day he took afternoon tea
with mother and mo in our small garden
overlooking the rolling downs. I thought
him very good looking. He was curiously
attractive. tall and dark, with a certain
odd intonatIon in his deep voice. ELLEN
Adair, you strange child said he to me
one day, "some day you will wake up and
your soul will grow You will not always
stay here; one day you must learn the
realities of life. Live up TO the highest
always. You have great possibilities"
remember a strange thrill went
through me at his words, and just then
lark rose from clump of bog n,srtle
nearby on the moor and scared. carolltng
her heart out, to the very heavens. 1t
seemed embemauc of his words, Live
up to the highest always" And the artist
man leaned back in his chair and slowly
quoted the great words of Browning:
1.-THE lark's on teh wing Gods
in hiG haa wit ha
Remember that always, little girl" said
he When things go right and when
things go wrong-God's in His heaven,
al's right with the world!'

veals Extremes in Size.
Darker shades characterize the fall
and winter styles this season and they
are being used on the really smart hats.
Brown is the favorite color. Flowers,
particularly roses. will be used to tighten
and brighten the sombre velvets and
beavers which will form the foundations
OF the hats, models OF which were shown
at Bonwit-Teller's opening this morning.
These are exceptionally small or un-
usually large, as compared with the
spring styles.
A smart model for evening wear Is
made with a silver metal crown and
rather narrow brim. The crown Is
edged with skunk fur and a large pink
rose with a rich ospray ornament Is
a-tened at the side. the arrangement
r.sa ag n chic effect.
A specially stunning chapeau is fash
ioned with a brown beaver crown and
wide satin brim of the same shade. This
hat is trimmed on either side with large
iridescent wings.
A rather large toque Of black velvet
is trimmed with very high ostrich
feather "fances" arranged at either
side and meeting in graceful spray.

words in his latest batch of items. He
begins by saying that 1913 was ush-

old year with a Prospective and re-

ment a great many people not only had
some cash for Christmas shopping
but they had formed the saving habit.
When in Columbia the other day, at
TIE opening Of the new club for 1914,
there was sucl rush at the Peoples
bank, that you could scarcely enter,
with all classes, sizes and ages
clamoring to join the Christmas club.
Pickanninnies were there with their

Lee and knapD Day.

The schools of South Carolina were
requested to observe Knapp day in
December, but as a holiday was given
for the Teachers institute the day
was not observed. On January 49,,
1907, Robert E. Lee was born. Mon
day the 18th will be observed as Lee
day 1t is suggested that the fore
noon be given to the regular school
work, but that the patrons and friends
of the school be invited to be present
1or the afternoon session. At this
session render an. appropriate pro-
gramme by pupils and citizens on
Knapp and Lee.
Bulletins on Knapp, prepared by
the United States government, have
been given the teachers. Yesterday
bulletins prepared at tle superinten-
dent of educations office were mailed
to each teacher in the county. Work
and expense were necessary in get
ting out the bulletin. 1t is asked
that each teacher put the bulletins in
her school library for future use.
1t is not intended that any teacher
adhere to the programme herein sug-
gested, but t4at she arrange the ex-
ercises to suit the needs Of her
school. A At the meeting would it not
add interest to have an old soldier, the
wife who served at nome during the
war, or some loyal descendant pre-
side?
The following is the suggested pro-
gramme,
Song-"The Bonnie Blue Flag
Devotional exercises.
Anecdotes of Gen. Lee by a pupil:
Personal recollections of Lee by a
soldier.
Poem, The Sword OF Lee" by
pupil.
Song, "NIy Maryland by school.
Mrs. Lee during tle war by pupil,
The great Confederate's part in the
battle of Gettysburg, or other battle
by citizen.
Debate: Resolved, That Lee did a
greater service to the South than
Knapp.
Song, Dixie Land by school.
Preparation for the programme
should be begun at once in order that
the pupils may become acquainted
with the two great men, Lee and
Knapp. If classes have to be omit
ted to prepare for the exercises, it
shows bad managemnt, for this work
should be done in history, language,
and opening exercises. 1t would be
