There is something about seal coat
that rises above mere questions of
style. Seal is like velvet, and satin,
which always have an important place
in woman's dress. Other materials
may come and go; but not they
Modes may change, but always some
new mode is created for their ex-
ploitation. Seal may be altered and
made over from season to season;
and 1t is never a hopeless task to
match it. as is the case with some
pelts that endure in style but for q
season or two.
If you have a seal coat in mind for
the immediate future, one of tho new
est models is presented for your de-
location; a redingote Of Hudson seal,
trimmed with skunk. This coat is
perfect in its rich dignity and in Its
conformity. with present style-ideals
1t is simple of line, showing off the
sumptuous pelt to best advantage, and
there Is just enough contrasting fur to
give the right style-effect. This con-
trasting fur is massed at the top and
bottom OF the garment, the sleeves
being untrimmed. They are modified
bishop sleeves. gathered into straight
of the wrist with small fancy buttons,
these buttons matching In character
the striking clasp which fastens the
belt. Like oil modern redingotes,
this one outlines the figure above the
waistline. and flares out below the
belt. to ripple at the lower edge where
is set the deep band of skunk which
forms the border. The collar Of skunk
rises high above the throat so that the
chin may sink into 1t. The coat Is
in full length, covering the skirt; but
both coat and skirt are short enough
to display almost the whole boot
an important style feature. this year.
No small part of the smartness of the
costume are the spotless white gloves
the ornate theatre bag of beads, and
the pot hat of velvet with outstanding
ostrich feathers.
A mink coat which is admirable In
its conservative richness Is pictured
also. Mink while not as fashionable
as seal, this year, maintains its place
In favor because of its inherent dis
tinotion. Genuine mink Is never COM

velvet is used also to face the revers,
which may be turned up in double
breasted fashion to protect the throat,
when desired. The fashionably unique
idea in this costume is the collar
which seems to bear no relation to
the coat at all, since it is made of seal

actly the inconsistency that fashion
delights in just now. If you will look

to trim it, in combination with
handsome feather in pepper and salt

Black Furs for the Dcbutante.
A black fur coat is not selected, as
rule, for the youthful debutante-
unless it's blackness is so unusual as
to be chic. This apology may be Of
fered for q costume Of black broad
tail which has just been completed for
a girl in her early twenties. Cuffs, a
choker collar and a round little muff
of spotess ermine, in combination
with the very black skirt and coat,
strike the very last note in chic; and
besides. there is an adorable toque
of the black broadtail, made to drag
down coquettishly over one eye, and
trimmed with a pompon of the white
ermine. The skirt Of broadtail is
matched in godet sections, so that II
ripples generously above boots with
natent leather toes and white cloth
tops. The coat is in finger-tip length
and is double breasted. defining the
curve of the waistline at sides and
back. The white choker collar rises
about chin and ears; the rakish, white
pomponed hat settles over one eye
and Mile. Is smart enough to cause

woman whose costume is always
charmingly up-to-date though her
purse may be a deal simmer than her
fond friends and acquaintance i'm

This season airy neck-ruffs,
matched by equally airy muffs. are
much fancied with costumes Of formal
character. These coquettish wear
ables are vastly becoming and go
long way toward adding elaborate
elegance to a very simple toilette.
Frivolous they are, to be sure; but
also dstractingly feminine-and ah!

Perhaps the easiest OF the pictured
sets, to copy, will be the one OF gray

~UR will be extravagantly used
this coming winter. Really. one
might as well use the word and
be done with it! For extrava-
gance pure and simple is the piling
OF costly fur upon fur, the fiouncing
of skirts with fur to the knee, the
bordering Of every detail Of costume
that can stand border trimming
with fur Fur muffs, fur hats, fur
cuffs, fur coats--one expects all Of
these when winter comes around; but
not content with conventional fur ar
rangements, fashion has set to work
to devise new uses for fur; and as
the winter of 1915 will doubtless be
distinguished by skirts as short as
skirts will be worn. it will also mark
the very apex Of the fur frenzy.
A Rcdingote of Fur.
Paquin produced, early in the sea-
son, a novelty in the way of a leather
tailleur; but this was Immediately SUI
perceded In interest by Jennys fur
tailleur. This creation, of black brett
schwanz. has been copied in less ex-
pensive pelts, but only with the sup
pie, beautiful breitschwanz could a
really graceful redingote of this sort
be evolved; for the least suggestion of
bulkiness In such a costume would
Of course be fatal to good style. The
original Jenny redingote has a very
simple upper portion, with long
sleeves and front fastening with two
groups of buttons--thcse Of gunmetal

John L. Epps, Treasurer.

Tae very important work Of keeping
up with the finances of the county and
prosiding the pay rolls that are neces-
saly to keep public work going is in
the hands OF Mr.. NJ. l.. Epps in New
berry county. Mr.. Epps has been treas
urer O. NewDerry county for a dozen
years, and he mas been very faithful
officer. HIS books are always well
kept and when the time comes for the
payment of taxes in this county he ex-
pects the property owners to come
forward and pay. There are no ia
vorites played in the treasurer's Of
fee, the same law fits the big prop
-erJy owner ard the little one, and pen
alties are not matters IF personal con-
venience. 1t is in this that troub' es
arise in so many counties in the state.
In Newberry the tax payer has learned
that ne i: expected to paT and he pays,
and if he does not there is another
Office altogether which deals with his
case and he knows that he must take
his plea and tell MS troubles to the
sheriff. Mr. Epps belongs to a family
that seems, to be peculiarly fitted for
this hnsine7s. One brother is treas
urer of Spartanburg, and both of them
are efficient officers. The family was
raised near Whitmire, in this county,
and has always been a family of in
fluence and devoted to public service.
Mr.. Epps was a farmer before he was
elected to Office and he gave the same
careful attention to detail in his own
business that he has given to the pub
lie interests in his official position. He
has raised family in Newberry that
is taking part prominently and pleas
ingly in public and social affairs The
Office that Mr. Epps fills calls rather
for a careful accountant than poll
tician, but ne has been successful in
both.

been an enterprising and aggressive
manager. pressing into new and aux

has not been a shortage Of ice, to say
nothing of an ice famine, since this

Lattarly, with the increase of the pro-
duction of grain in this country and
the prospects that it would continue
to be a crop Of more and more conse-
quence. the Farmers Oil Mill put in
a plant for the manufacture of -four,
and it now has one of the largest and
best plants of the kind in the state
and has furnished the farmers con-

and another inducement to bring their
produce to Newberry fer marketing.
In addition to the ice plant and the
-four mill, the Farmers Oil Mill has
a modern, we'll equipped ginnery and
other conveniences for its farmer pat
rons. 1t has been r the past ten or
twel- years most popular institution
and has materially helped to hold I'D
the market for cotton seed in this com
