With the return OF those women from
debutantes to dowagers, who comprise an
Interesting portion Of the nations official
life, Washington's broad avenues are re-
suming their accustomed appearance as
the parade ground Of wealth and fashion.
The suburban clubs. which have not been
altogether deserted at any time in this
history-making summer just closed. are
again the meeting places Of distinguished
men and charming women. all back from
the mountains. the sea and the unbroken
line of country homes extending from
Maine TO California. which send their
owners back to Washington each autumn
to form an important part of the Capt.
tails everchanging yet always interesting
social life.
A significant feature to even the most
casual observer of these returning maids
and matrons is that with few exceptions
they have accepted the radical changes
ordained by fashion arbiters as much as
six months ago. and are wearing gowns
for every occasion totally different in
outline and effect from those seen dur
ing the spring season.
Mrs. Robert Lansing. wife of the new
Secretary of State. and a welcome leader
TO the Cabinet hostesses. who are expect
ed to resume their social activities in the
coming season, is already as noted for
her excellent taste in dress as for her
good looks and good manners. all assets

circle identified with the State Depart
mAnt A dinner gown which Mrs. Lam
sing wore when entertaining a distin-
suished company invited to meet some
South American dignitaries is an excel
lent example OF preparedness. for even
in an OF season the wife Of the Secretary
Of State must be ready to don formal at
tire at very short notice. This particular
costume shows its wearer's well known
fancy for white and black in a very up
to-date fashion. The material is a silver

over which the tulle Is arranged in q

considered .'old fashioned" a year ago,
but are distinctly q la mode today. and
likely to be universally accepted in the
coming season. The bodice is glittering

the closely fitted satin lining. with the
well defined waist line marked by strands
of Jet and silver. Another dinner gown
of Mrs. Lansing's, not SO rich as the
first described, but well worthy a place
in a Cabinet wardrobe Is of white lace
and black chiffon. The lace. which is a
wide meshed, well covered pattern,
forms the plain round fared skirt with
the chiffon used in the new modish over
drapery. The bodice is of equal parts
lace and chiffon. The lace forms the
foundation to the bust. over which Is
hung the black chiffon, which also forms
the half-length sleeves.

leaders in matters of dress. While Nine.
Dumba has taken little active part in
society since the breaking out of the

phia and New York, as well as in WASH

attache Of the Spanish Embassy, who

de Urcu!lu is wearing a very modish be-
tween-season gown Of white and black
striped silk, which follows the new line in
skirt and bodice and is topped by black
turban trimmed in large petal white
flowers. A pleasing feature Of Nine. de
Ureullu's white and black costume is that
her smart little half shoes are all black,
the shoe of two or more colors no longer

with the tulle very full and gathered
into the waist under q deep girdle
OF pale blue satin. The blue ana
purple combination is one Of fashions
latest whims. and seen in all charae-
ter Of scostumng, the purple chiffon
veil with blue serge suit being one
of the popular forms.
Nothing newer or prettier in the way Of
a dinner or dancing frock has yet come
to town than the pale blue and silver
pouit-de-soie made for Miss Marguerite
Barbour. who was one Of the Washington
bellies at Narragansett Pier In August.
and Is now en- route for an end OF the
season visit at the White Sulphur. The
new fabric ID rich as old-time satin, yet
pliable as chiffon. SO lends itself to the
much puffed back that Is coming In with
the new silhouette. The skirt Is round,
several inches from the ground and open
in front from belt to hem, showing an
underskirt hounced in silver lace. The
round bodice also shows an underbodice
and short sleeves OF the silver. There is
no sash. belt or girdle, but coming from
the back under the silk bodice. and over
the lace one. Is a chain Of silver and
pearl beads marking the normal waist
line In front. This is tied in stiff little
bow with the ends each finished in
pearl and silver tassel falling to the top
OF the lower fiounce.
The new heavy taffetas. plain. striped
and figured. are all finding favor in
Washington. The reason-for there Is
always a reason, in fashions AS in
everything else-seems to be the un-
usual number of early autumn brides
whose trousseaux had to be ordered
while the summer was still too warm
to think of velvet gowns or even cloth
tailored suits.

Mr.. LANGLEY
IN TROUBLE
Promisory Johns Record Is Being
Investigated by Civil Service
Commission.

The taking Of depositions Of
storekeepers and gaugers in the
probe being made by United States
Civil Service Commission Secretary
John T. Doyle, Of Washington, into
charges that Congressman John w.
Langley, of Kentucky, solicited
campaign contributions from the
National Association of Storekeep-
ers, Gaugers and Storckeeper-Gaug-
ers and from individual members
thereof in 1910 and 1912, was be-
gun by Secretary Boyle Saturday
morning at Cincinnati. Between
eight and ten storekeepers and
gaugers attached to the Office of In
ternal Revenue Collector A. G. Gil
ligan made their appearance before
Secretary Doyle to give testimony
as to their knowledge of the alleged
violations Of the United States Civil
Service laws by Congressman Lang
ley.
1t is understood that the same al
legations against Langley as were
set out in the affidavits published at
the time the preliminary probe into
these charges was made were voic-
ed by members of the committee
which had charge of the arrange
ments for the convention of the Ma
tional Association Of Storekeepers,
Gaugers and Storekeeper- -Gaugers
held in Cincinnati in 1910. In these
affidavits the committeeman set out
that after paying the expenses OF
entertaining the convention there
was surplus in their hands of
$3.50, all Of which was turned over
to George Weitzel, Of Cincinnati,
then President of the National As
sociation, as a contribution to Con-
gresham Langley's campaign fund.
It is also set out in the affidavits
that the contribution was made at
the request of Mr.. Langley, and that
so far as they have knowledge he
received the money.

MT. STERLING BOYS ON
LONG AUTO TRIP

Nessrs. Paul and Claude Stroth-
er, OF this city, returned home last
week from Sutherland, Fla, where
they have been attending Southern
College. They we're accompanied by
Messrs. j. B. Shannon, Of Nash
vile, Tenn; II. Phelps, of West
Alton, Mo-; VIM. Bolden, Of Charles
ton, w. Va; Carl Calvert, of w. Va,
and Jack Lattermer, of Marietta, o.
They made the trip in Mr.. Stroth-
er's car and the speedometer show
ed they Travelled ITO miles. They
came along what will be known,
when completed, the Dixie Highway,
and Mr.. Strother says this road
will be thing Of beauty and a joy
forever to the automobile people.
The road has been graded and in
many places the whole tops of hills
have been taken off and put in the
hollows, as yet no metal has been
put on the road but as the greater
part of it runs parallel with the rail-
road the matter of surfacing same
will be a small job in comparison
with the grading that has been done.
The young men carried a complete
camping outfit and often had to stop
and cut trees out of the roadway.
They took several pictures and
have several especially beautiful
scenes on the Sewanee river. The
people throughout the entire South
are jubilant over the Dixie Highway
and the great good it will do. Mr..
Strother, who is agent for the Ford
Automobile Company in this city
said he saw more Fords on the road
than all other cars combined and
never saw single one in trouble.
He said he saw five or six Fords go
ing through to Wichita, Kan, with
six or seven people in each car.
While it was a long, hard, tire
some trip the young men enjoy
ed it greatly. They say the "good
roads" movement is gaining every
where and that the building Of the
Dixie Highway will lead to many
other great road movements all
through the South.

SMALL CROWD
HEARS SPEECH
Hon. John w. Newman Speaks to a
Small Crowd at the Court House
In This City.

A crowd Of about one hundred
voters gathered at the Court House
in this city Saturday afternoon to
hear the speech Of Hon John W.
Newman, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. The
greater part Of his time was given
to explaining the foot and mouth di-
sease and especially his position in
regard to the quarantine orders,
etc. He paid his respects to the
other candidates in the race, saying
that Stanley was a known whiskey
man; McDermott stood for the
county unit law; Bosworth was an
unknown quantity as he had never
said what he stood for; McChesney
had not declared himself until after
he (Newman) had stated his posi-
ton on the State wide proposition.
He criticised Mr.. McChesney more
severely than any of the other can
didates. He said he had done more
for the farmers than any Commits
sioner of Agriculture the State had
ever had and made his plea to the
farmers to support him.

deeds of kindness and cheer. Flow

With these she was lavish. Truth
was the inspiration of her life and

CALLED TO
HER REWARD
Mrs. Elizabeth R. Harper Died
Monday after Illness Of Many
Weeks Duration.

The death angel visited our city
Monday morning and took from our
midst Mrs. Elizabeth r. Harper,
widow Of Mr.. j. e. Harper. De-
ceased had been in poor health for
about a year but up until a few
weeks ago, when she was paralyzed,
her condition had not been consid-
cred serious, but after that her low
ed one knew the end was approach
ing and although everything possible
that could be done for her was done,
it was to no avail.
Mrs. Harper is survived by one
daughter, Miss Lila Mae Harper,
two sisters, Mrs. Emma Patterson,
of Pineville, KY, and Mrs. Grant
Sutherland, of Bentonville, Ark,
besides many other relatives in this
and adjoining counties.
To her the struggle and burden
bearing Of earth are ended, and we
confidently trust that like one who
awakes from a troubled dream she
has awakened to see life's endless
morning break and knows herself at
home with all the vast throng Of
loved ones, missed from earth, safe
around her. Her home instints were
strong here in this fevered world
Of disappointment. Her affection
for friends and kindred was tender
and abiding.
Among us all she ranked as a
woman of culture, refinement, SYM
pathy, kind neighbor, devoted
mother and true friend, and withal
a woman Of heroic mould in bravely
meeting the stern requirements and
often the disappointments Of life.
She was a member Of the Presby-
terian church and always took an
active interest in church work.
Funeral servise will be held at
the residence this afternoon at l :15
conducted by Rev. M. V. p. Yea

in extending sympathy to the be-
1eaved ones.

We understand that Mr.. p. H.
