line. The skirt from the knees down
is Of the wolfe and the Eton is Of the
wolfe to about bust depth. The trim
ming consists Of braiding with SOU
tache in most attractive, very open
design that 10 arranged to largely
conceal the connecting seam and to
extend down over the wolfe and up
over the net, so connecting the two.
Often heavy embroideries and heavy
braiding are noted upon garments Of
such light weight that one is puzzled
TO- know how the work could have been
done. but the result is always attract
i've and always means certain charm.
We are>treating cotton as formally as
We do silk. In addition to the gown
just described, cotton is apt to be
found in some Of the newest blouses
designed for wear with the new Spring
suits and in not few OF the gowns
themselves. Organdic was tried last
season az a material for the blouse,
but without great success and this
Spring it appears in the form Of collar,
cuffs and vestees on the blouse Of
Georgette crepe chiffon and the like
and sometimes the organdie is daintjly
embroidered with color or with black.
Taffeta is used to trim wolfe and other
cotton materials too, and in various
ways we find that cottons and silks are
harmonious and can be used one with
the other with great success. A charms
ing blouse that is practical as well. is
made of sheer white wolfe with very
high Aaring collar and sleeve ruffles Of
sbirred organdie that are piped with
pale pink taffeta and there is binding
Of taffeta finishing the front edges.

LATEST FADS AND.
FANCIES OF FASHION

4@NE Of the, latest fancies and
perhaps one Of the prettiest
is for the ,use Of tullc or net
arranged layer over layer to give
wonderful color results that could
not be obtained in any other way
and there is also very notable ten
dency toward much more becoming
and much more conservative bodices
than were worn earlier in the season.
II women would only consider what
looks we'll on them as individuals in
place Of what il ordered by the dress
maker, we probably would see fewer
instances Of unpleasant and even
ugly exposure than has been the case
and the returnsof sanity in matters Of
evening costumes can be hardly
too enthusiastically welcomed. 1t
would be saying too much to say that
extremes are dead or to even hint at
such q thing, but it is nevertheless
true that moderation is to be found
on the newest costumes and that
greater charm results because Of that
fact. The properly made low bodice
Is always beautiful one, but there
is nothing pretty in garment that
cuts all the lines Of the figure and that
utterly destroys natures work. A
fascinating gown that will be worn to
an important fete of the week is made
with slip. Of lavender charmeuse
satin and over it are arranged three
gathered skirts Of tulle, one Of green
ish blue, one Of magenta and one Of
white; each skirt is cut in deep seal
lops and outlined with little petals Of
silver cloth. The bodice is of the
lavender charmeuse yelled with ma
genta tulle while the bretelles and
big ruffles that serve as sleeves are
of the white and the girdle is of
the silver cloth, and it gives a very
brilliant touch, butterfly of pearls
and colored beads is posed effectively
in the low neck and butterflies. let it
be added are claiming good share Of
attention just now. They are used as
ornaments as in this instance, and
there is hint that the neck finish
Of tulle with butterfly bow may be
expected little later and many Of
the dancing frocks of tulle are so ar
ranged as to give the butterfly effect
to the bodice. q
We are using great many beads
and great deal Of embroidery and
these trimmings lend themselves to
the butterfly effects so it is natural
that We should see them generously
used. A fascinating gown that gives
evidence Of this truth is made with

And Opening Weeks Sales al
ready Reach Half Million
Pounds.
Low GRADES BEING OFFERED
Prices Are a Shade Better For
These Type Than Last
Year.

Up to and including yesterdays
sales, the total tobacco sales for
three days aggregated abouts 500, :
600 pounds. Receipts are coming in
steadily and sales today and tomor-
row will run the total up to zoe, 900
to 100000 pounds.
Prices on low grades are better
than last year, but common leaf is
not so strong. However, nearly all
offerings are of the lower types and
prices are proving satisfactory. The
tobacco is inferior in quality and the
average price is below the opening
day last year, due to the absence of
any good tobacco.
The weather continues fine for
handling the weed and the market is
expected to be very active from now
on. All of the warehouses are hust-
ling for business and all of the usual
buyers are on hand.
The money being put into circula-
ton is already easing up the finan-
cial stringency on the Eve of Christ

DAYS ARE NOW
GETTING LONGER
Winter SOlstice Passed Tues
day With Fine Weather
as Forecast.

Tuesday was officially the shortest
day Of the year.
This is the winter solstice, when
the sun comes to dead halt in his
retreat from the earth's girdle and
prepares to retrace his steps. The
effect of the shortening of the dis
lance between the two can be seen
later in the frightening of the days.
Ever since the latter part of last
September the daylight in each twen-
ty-four hours has been gradually
growing less and darkness has had
the major half of the stage.
The sun rose yesterday morning
at 6:54 o'clock, and set at 4:36
o'clock, giving total sun-shining of
9 hours and AZ minutes. The next
two days have the same length and
are made two minutes longer by the
almanac. Generally a minute per
day is added to the daylight hours,
which soon will be noticeable in the
time when darkness falls. Along
with the winter solstice this year has
come some exceptionally fine wealth
er for this season. The cold wave
of the last few days has been broken
and warmer weather prevails.
At 6 O'Clock Tuesday the mercury
stood at 2e. but before s o'clock the
temperature began to rise, and at ] l
O'Clock the thermometer reading at
the weather bureau was 43 and at
noon 40. with rising tendency. The
temperature rose little more yes
terday. No cold wave is likely to
reach here for the next three days
and beautiful Christmas is expect
ed.

Issued. i

Bids for the sale of the new issue
of 500. 900 of city bonds for school
purposes voted last month, were
opened Tuesday night at a meeting
of the Mayor andretiring council.
The successful bidder was the
Planters Bank & Trust Co., the price
being $1O2,577. There we're 16 bids
and they ranged all the way down
to S99, 100. The holders of the $685.

1910 and 1911 have agreed to sur
render $50, 900 of them on demand.
or at the interest bearing period
April l, 1916. This amount of the
new fund will be used to retire the
school bonds called in and the prem
ium is sufficient 10 take up part of
the $1,000 remaining. Inc school
board is to take up the remnant.
The sum of $4,000 is to be
used to purchase Mclean College,
and this is to be supplemental by
the sale of the Clay Street school
property. To sacrifice this plant
worth $4,000 for $4,000 would be
a great mistake as it will soon be
needed and the building could be re-
modelled and modernized for a few
thousand dollars. This part of the
plans ought to be reconsidered and
this building held in reserve. 1t
was proposed to divide the proceeds
of its sale between the white and
colored schools. The colored schools
are to be given in all $4,000 for a
new building on First street.

the British fighting forces in the
various theaters now amount to more
than 100000 men, the wars de-
mands were such as necessitated
calling out the empires "recruitable
