Living History.

A Boston University professor
comes forward TO recommend the
reading of newspapers as part of
the public school course.
Isn't this rank heresy in the realm
of educotion? It's easy to recall the
time when any college professor
who recommended the reading of
newspapers for any purpose what
soever would have lost caste. News
papers were regarded by all high
brows as hopelessly vulgar, futile
and trashy. Some of them, horrible
to relate, were yellow" Nearly all
were beneath the dignity of a schol-
ar, particularly the news columns.
And as for putting such stuff into
the hands of innocent school chill
dreu-the very idea!
Maybe she newspapers have i'm
proved since that epoch; we hope
they haye. But certainly the edu-
Gators have improved. And as they
wake up to an interest in real life,
and perception of the fact that
education is intended to fit children
to live the same life, they develop
appreciation of the wonderful ad-
vantages offered to every man, wo-
man and child by the modern news
paper.
TIE teachers of the young used
to act as if history were worthless
until it had become fossilized in
books. Now they recognize that we
have here, in the news columns from
day to day, history in the making
which Isl vastly more interesting
and perhaps vastly more important
than any ever concocted from the
bones of dead events.-Augusta
Chronicle.

Death of an Infant.

Death came and kissed away the
life of little Louis Burnett last
Thursday morning. Louis was the
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Burnett. He was only six months
old but was a sweet and lovely
child. We join in with the whole
community in sympathy for the be.
reaved ones.
1t has been two weeks since we
have had rain. The roads have
dried off wonderfully. The log drag
has been used in many places and
has helped so much.
The farmers have lost no time in
sowing oats.
Mr.. Tom Wood sowed wheat last
week.
We are sorry to report the severe
illness OF our friends, Messrs. H.
H. Smith and George Mathis. Both
are thought to be some better this
morning. We hope and pray for
their speedy recovery.

GOV. ASKS PEOPLE To
OBSERVE PRODUCTS DAY

Atlanta, Nov 3rd Governor Nat
r. Harris yesterday afternoon issued
a proclamation urging the people OF
Georgia to observe Georgia Products
Day Thursday, November 18th, by
joining in dinners of Georgia pro-
ducts. and by means, of exhibits,
to stir the people to the need of up
building the State by raising their
own foodstuffs and keeping at home
the millions annually sent to other
sections for products that can be
raised as well, or better, in Georgia.
The Governors proclamation is pecu-
liarly appropriate at this time when
all authorities agree that much high
er prices for food products will pre-
vail during the next two or three
years, on account of the European
war. The proclamation is as fol-
low:
WHEREAS, Nature has shown
that it is possible to raise in Georgia
a sufficient variety and quantity Of
staple articles of food necessary for
the subsistence of our people; and
WHEREAS, 1t is a most worthy
object to bring knowledge of this
fact to the attention of the people in
order that the raising of food pro-
ducts in our State in larger quanti-
ties may be encouraged in every way
and by all our citizens; and
WHEREAS, Fer the last two years
the Eighteenth day of November has
been known as a day for GEORGIA
PRODUCTS DINNERS, and has been
so celebrated by a great number of
public gatherings in many parts of
our State; and
WHEREAS, The farmers of the
State have been invited to exhibit
their products at the capitol City of
Atlanta on November 18th, 1915, the
purpose of the invitation being to
further encourage the growing and
marketing of food crops; and
WHEREAS, 1t is of the deepest
concern for the welfare of our State
to encourage these and all other
movements which tend to make the
people of Georgia Independent in
their supply of food products;
NOW, THEREFORE,, l, Nat E.
Harris, Governor of Georgia, by re-
quest of ,sundry citizens of our State,
do hereby designate November 18TH,
1915, as GEORGIA PRODUCTS DAY,
and urge all our people to join toge-
Their in Georgia Products dinners, eX-
hibits, parade8, and all well intend

skins we're worth having: we have
learned that fur is material as well
as cloth, to be used wherever it will
give a good effect. A most fasci-
mating afternoon visiting costume for
debutante who makes her rounds
in a limousine, is of blue taffeta,
brocaded with silver figures, 1t con-
sists Of simple, gathered skirt and a
belted Russian blouse. The blouse and
the skirt are edged with wide bands
Of white fur and the collar and cuffs
consist of fur and fur is used on the
front edge of the blouse, and it is a
wonderfully beautiful costume At
glance, we might consider the fur
to be fox, but investigation shows
clearly that it is nothing of the sort;
it is on some cheaper skin, bleached
and treated to give the desired effect.
1t is beautiful it is essentially youth
full and altogether the costume is one
of the prettiest to be devised and what
girl could ask for more
Whether we like the separate trains
or do not, they evidently have taken
their place for the season and it is
pleasant to state that in many Of
the later and better developments,
they are really graceful and attractive.
There is no necessity for growing
train, even over short skirt: the
effect of an appendage. of being wholly
unrelated to the gown. good designers
have managed to avoid and to so han
die them as to give quite different
result. One of the prettiest that yet
has been seen is Of rich red velvet
over gown of white net embroidered
with iridescent beads and trimmed
around the lower edge Of the skirt
with flat red velvet roses. The train
forms little drapery over the hips and
at the back, starting at each side Of
the front at mere nothing. and
growing wider until it grows into the
train itself. There is wide girdle also
that connects the two and while the
train is noe attached to the skirt and
while the latter is complete beneath
so that it can be lifted for the dance
with ease, it gives the effect of having
been made for the costume and Of
becoming an integral part thereof
The velvets of the season are simply
wonderful. The chiffon velvets and the
waterfall sort are having especial vogue
and are made up in thousand attract
i've ways. In the lighter colors, such
as pink. blue and pale green, they are
essentially youthful in effect and are
being extensively used on the chill
dren's dresses and for the children's
coats. As matter OF course. the
inevitable fur trimming is found. but
in the case of the children it takes the

double seams are advisable, but il
you are using velvet. heavy silk or
serge, lining will be necessary, and
very thin. silk or a silk and cotton
mouseline is good for the purpoes.
Cut the lining exactly as you have
done the outside and the directions
given for the one will suffice for the
other.
First, close the shoulder and under
arm seams. Basic and stitch on the
basting line and press open if you are
to use lining. If there is thin
lining, take up first very narrow
seam on the right side, then turn and
basic again on the basting line and
take up second seam on the front
lining. Close the seams of the sleeves.
If you are using lining, close the
shoulder and under-arm seams Of the
Lining and the sleeve seams and press
all the seams open. If you are making
it without lining, make the double
seams in the sleeves. Finish the lower
edges in any way that you may like.

tions that indicate the seam and again

I /ERILY. the one, ever-present
" feature Of the season is to be
found in the use of fur we
might we'll say that it is fur to the
right of us and fur to the left Of us,
fur wherever We turn. 1t not alone is
used upon suits and upon gowns, it
also makes very attractive finish
for the chemisettes that 50 many
women are wearing with open necks,
and as trimming TOR almost every
garment that one can wear. The
very wide muf collars. as they have
been called, are perhaps a little over
heating for the average woman. There
are some very attractive and charming
collar and cuff sets shown Of velvet
and OF satin, trimmed with fur, that
are really fascinating. The collars
follow the general trend Of faring at
the upper edge and almost enveloplng
the chins and the lower part OF the
face, while the cuffs are turned back,
cut in deep points. They are TO be
found in various colors, but as especi-
ally charming set for wear with dark
gown, is Of cardinal red satin with
fur as finish. A quite novel collar. de-
known as "Abbess" and is still in
circular, haring shape. but consists
Of narrow alternating circular strips
Of black and white satin. while it is
finished at the lower edge with folds
of the black satin and bow at the
back where the closing is made. 1t is
known as "Abbess" and in way. it
suggests the collars that are supposed
to conceal the countenances Of the
religious enthusiasts. There are all
sorts of small scarfs and throws too
to be worn in place of the fur when
the day is mild A smart one is made
of velvet, shirred to form big Asa
tian bow at the back and is passed
around the throat with long ends that
are finished with shirrings and points
to which tassels are appended. One
end hangs straight over the coat and
one hangs over the shoulders. for how
ever we may accomplish it. whatever
else we may wear. we must wear some

part, show the fur used in very narrow
strips. 1t edges the collar and some
times it finishes the front edge. 1t is
really very charming, and since fur is
almost always becoming. it makes
most satisfactory finish against the
skin lust how or where ill the fur is
enough that it is offered and that it
is very charming. We long since
