Velvet Afternoon Gowns.

According to the Dry Goods Econom-
list, rich afternoon gowns of velvet are
featured in black, brown, rose, white
and blue Green in also shown to some
extent, but has not proved as popular
as the colors named. Fur trimmings
finish off many Of these gowns. The
furs most in use are skunk, raccoon,
kolinsky, fox, krimmer, mole, beaver
and caracul. In many instances the
furs harmonic in color with that of
the dress, mole being used on gray,
skunk and beaver on brown, beaver
on beige and white fox or white and
similar combinations. Some of the
more striking effects in afternoon
gowns are brought out by the use of
beaver on white broadcloth or on chif-
fon velvet, or the black fox on white
or on tan.

Ideas for Cold Weather That Are Well
Worthy of Having Place in
the Memory.

The winter negligee may be as
diaphanous as chiffon and lace can
make it, but the winter bath robe, to
be right, must be warm and downy.
Nothing is more uncomfortable than to
emerge from a refreshing bath to find
the world grown cold. A thick bath
robe is sure to make the world seem
warm and coy.
A blanket robe is durable and COM
Portable and can be made quite becom-
ing. 1t should be rather full in cut,
and not long enough to touch the
floor. The color and design should be
carefully chosen. There are some love
ly grays, if a dark robe is desired,
and for light one there is lavender,
and there is blue and there is pink.
Sometimes a satin hem and satin
bindings are put on blanket robes, but
these are rather fragile. They soil
very quickly, and they are sure to
wear thin and shabby before the
blanket part wears at all.
A pocket for the handkerchief is a
useful addition to any bath robe. A
big rubber-lined pocket is also desir-
able if one lives in a boarding house
or a big family and has to use bath
room in common with many others,
for the various toilet articles, brushes,
soap and tooth paste, can be carried
In this pocket.
= deep collar or hood adds much to
the becomingness of a bath robe
of this sort. And a scallop crocheted
around the edge OF collar and cuffs is
an attractive finish. A cord, too,

"The person who wants to succeed
In billiards must have perfect control
of the muscles in the wrist, he must
have a perfect eye for measuring dis
lance, and speed and above all else,
he never must get careless"
So says Willie Hoppe, the cham
pion of all champions in the cue
world-the most wonderful billiard
player in the game today. Hoppe has
been playing the game since he was
a lad in knicKerbockers. Five years
ago he seemed to have reached abso-
lutte perfection. But every year since
then he has gone beyond-has per-
formed so brilliantly so wonderfully
that it seems that he is a miracle
worker.
"Carelessness has kept out of the
championship class many men who
had wonderful natural skill with the
cue," said Hoppe. "The greatest trou-
BILE with the average billiardist is that
he grows careless with an easy shot
before him-and frequently he falls
mistake that others made and l re-
solved that l always would exercise
as much care in playing an easy shot
as a hard one.
'Pnrfect control of all the wrist
muse es, in my mind, is the main es-
sential to billiard success. Unless this
control is acquired-and acquired full
Iy-one cannot become real billiard
list because, in critical moments in a
game, the lack of control of even the
minutest muscle will lose a shot for
man and perhaps the game, and ulti-
mate1y the series being played.
Judgment of speed and distance
really depends upon the muscular con-
troll. If a man has his muscles under
control he can send ball just as far

and as fast as he wants. If he hasn't,
his speed and distance calculations Of
ten go awry.'
Hoppe changes his stance after ev-
cry shot. He never deviates from that
rule, even though his succeeding shot
is SO simple that he could make it with
his eyes closed. Hopes theory is
that by changing stance it gives the
muscles a chance to slip back into
their original position SO that when he
calls upon them for the next shot they
will answer readily and normally.
in my opinion" said Hoppe, 1.-The
draw shot is the most valuable in a
game of billiards.. When player has
reached the point where he has con-
troll and a good draw shot he is on
his way toward the championship
class. A draw shot is the basis for
all the variations Of English
Hoppe declared that playing for po-
sition is merly matter of practice.
The rule of billiards is simple" he
said. Keep the balls as closely to-

ing position consistently needs prac-
tice-and care. But one who is pa
tient and who goes at the thing whole
heartedly is sure to succeed.
Hoppe leaped into international
fame ten or eleven years ago when he
went to France and surprised the en-
tire billiard world by beating Vignaux,
the wonderful Frenchman. Hoppe
was a mere boy at the time-still in
his teens-and the wise ones de-
clared that his victory was a fiuke.
But events since then have shown
that it wasn't fiuke victory; they
have shown that Hoppe is the greatest
billiard player of this age and in the
opinion of many, the greatest in the
long history of the cue game.

IF IN DOUBT, CHOOSE BLUE
Color That is Always Popular, and Its
Shades Are Practically
InnumerabIe.

If you are in quandary as to which
color to choose for your winter tailored
suit, you will be safe in making it
blue. This color is represented by the
popular tones known as corbeau--
ravens wing-soldat, Russian, Bel
GUM, China, midnight, navy, marine
and Natter All tones of gray, from
the palest dove to the deepest tone of
dreadnaught, are to be very smart for
street or house wear
Field mouse, metal, stone and mist
will be familiar names before the sea-
son has advanced much further. The
lighter tones of tan will be frowned
upon, and to replace them loan, chest
nut and leather browns will be used
Sage, cypress and moss are to be
prominent among the greens, and sui
phur yellow has also appeared again
There will be much purple Worn and

PICTURESQUE AND NEW
PARTISAN HEAD-DRESS THAT
WILL BE WELCOMED.
Has All Fashions Distinguishing
Marks and Other Points That
Will Make 1t Popular in
This Country.

Some of the ultra-smart Parisiennes
have revived genuine picture head
dresses. Now that evening dresses, in
France, are of the simplest possible
order it has been found necessary to
r. pay special attention to the head-dress,
and some of the latest styles are really
fascinating For example, the head
dress illustrated. Here there are
loose curls, but these fall at the back,
behind the ears. In this case the hair,
quite free from artificial waves, is
drawn softly back from the face and
arranged in chignon at the back.
Set waves are a thing of the past.
No one thinks of adopting them now.
The hair is made as soft and fluffy as
possible and then it is simply drawn
back and fastened with ornamental
pins or handsome combs.
And in this connection l may men
ton that pale brown hair is all the
rage. The red and red-brown shades
have quite gone out. Very fair hair is
in great favor, but it is not easy to OBJ
tain, by natural means. Nut-brown
hair is considered very chic" and in
deed all the soft brown shades are in
favor.
The idea that red-brown hair, pro-
duced by henna, made a woman look
specially youthful is exploded Nova
days everyone realizes that these red
brown shades are specially trying for
anyone except young woman or girl.
On the other hand, the soft brown
shades are flattering to the complex
ion.
do not think that powdered hair is
so fashionable as it was. A great
many women are beginning to regret
having gone in for white hair" even
when it was so much the fashion. They
are beginning to realize that white
hair, unless powdered and worn by a
very young woman, gives an impress
sion of age at first sight. Powdered
hair is becoming to many women, but
it does not make for youth.

John E. Madden never tells the Sc

S. Thompson's Bromo worked six fur

should be fastened at the waist, or
else a wide belt of the blanketing
should be used, with a frog fastening.
A quilted robe is almost as warm as
blanket robe. But it is not so dur
able. The blanket can be washed
time and again. The quilted robe, if
it be of silk, must be carefully cleaned
in gasoline.
Like a blanket robe, quilted one
should be made on rather generous
lines. One that is quite fiat and tight
is unbecoming. And, again, the color
must be chosen with an eye to be-
comingness.

NEW OROERSFOR

ON FARM LOANS
Special Rediscount Rates on
Promissory Notes Will
Be Required.
BY AssocIATED PREss.

Washington, Sept. Federal Re
serve bank today issued new regula-
tons on authorizing the Federal Re-
serve banks to give special rediscount
rates on pron1issary notes issued on
warehouse receipts for staple agri-
cultural products. It stipulated that
member banks availing themselves of
this rate must not charge over six
per cent. to the borrower.
Mr.. McAdoo announced he would
soon deposit five millions in gold in
each of the federal reserve banks in
Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas. He
said if conditions showed a need of
deposits elsewhere to aid in handling
any other crop he would extend SINH
lar aid.
The new regulations were broad
enough to apply to all staple crops
but it is well known that cotton is
the only one given concern lately.
The board announced the Atlanta and
Dallas banks had already requested a
rediscount rate of three per cent. on
all paper approved. The announce
ments followed these meetings occu-
plying the time of McAdoo and the
board most of the last two days.

FOR AN
INJUNCTION Be
HEARD MONDAY
JUDGE KIRKE MONROE WILL BE
READY TO HEAR ARGUMENTS
ON PETITION PRAYING FOR
RESTRAINING ORDER.

Monday morning, September 6, at
10 o'clock, has been designated by
Judge Kirke Monroe, of the court of
record, as the hour for hearing the
petition of the dry leaders of Escam-
bia county praying for an injunction
against the board of county commits
sioners restraining them from refus-
ing to call wet and dry election
for the county upon the petitions for
such an election filed with the board.
The petition filed is in the name OF
President w. S. Harfeld, of the Pro-
hbition League. 1t recites that the
dry forces filed with the board of
county commissioners petitions car
rying enough names to call the cleo
ton under the constitution and laws
of Florida, but that at meeting;
held subsequent TO the meeting at
which the dry adherents presented
said petitions the wet forces present
ed to the commissioners 472 cards
signed by persons requesting that
their names be stricken from the pc
titions asking that a wet and dry
election b ordered.
The court is petitioned to issue an
injunction restraining the board of
commissioners from consideration of
the names of petitioners who asked
for the withdrawal of their names
from the dry petitions, and that the
names of said petitioners be counted
as though they had not signed the
withdrawal cards presented to the
board; also to enjoin the board from
declining to call wet and dry cleo
ton for the county.
The petitioners are represented by
the following attorneys: Judge A.
c.. Blount, John S. Beard, Robert P
Stout, Judge E. D. Beggs and Leroy
Y. Holsberry, while Robert H. An
derson has been retained by the wet
interests and Judge John c.. Avery
as county attorney; will represent the
commissioners.
1t is understood that numerous
court decisions sustain the contention
of the petitioners for the injunction
that names cannot be withdrawn
from a wet and dry election petition
unless it is conclusively shown that
such names were secured through
misrepresentation or fraud, and that
these authorities will be cited to the
court at tse hearing in support d
the contentious of petitioners.
On the other hand, counsel for the
vets, it is stated will cite court de-
cisions sustaining the contention OF
his clients that it is not necessary for
a petitioner for a wet and dry cleo
ton to show cause for the with
drawal of his name from such pc.
tition.
