Combinations Of serge, or mohair,

is particularly attractive. The green

with a white lawn guimpe. The smart
little Jacket Of navy serge makes quite
another costume of it. This Jacket
is trimmed with narrow black braid

Is absolutely true that there is
scarcely any limit to the things
that can be made of ribbon. If
j you are delayed in getting out
your Christmas gifts and have time
neither for extensive shopping nor
hours of needlework; ask every wom-
an you know for a ribbon-gift sug-
gestion, Jot down all the suggestions
and then spend an hour buying all
Uorts and shades of ribbon. After this
ron may set to work and two dozen
pretty and acceptable gifts can be
turned out in a few evenings. But
be sure and have your ideas and your
ribbons ready to hand; shopping at
the ribbon counter requires time and
patience in the weeks, before Christ
mas, and It is well to get all you will
possibly need while you have place
ID the front row and a saleswoman's
undivided attention.
You can make ribbon remembrances
ranging in size from a rosebud sachet

If she is to attend private school

OF Course, A MILDLY For School!
Every young girl will want one
natty middy frock at least to alternate
with other costumes through the
school semester. 1t should be Of navy
serge OF course and should have, this
season, pleated skirt with pockets
more or less exaggerated, set on at
the hips The waist will be confined
by trim belt and will go under the
skirt-the MILDLY that hangs over the
skirt Is for sport wear and is not suit
able for school. The very essence of
a MILDLY effect is in the divided waist
the shoulder portion overlapping the
lower portion In an irregular manner,
stitched In smart tailored style. The
sleeves may be set in or of the kimono
type at the shoulder, with the over
tapping, stitched low armhole on q
line with the overlapping Of the waist
portion. A sailor collar and big, soft
tie Of black silk complete the correct
MILDLY ensemble. A frock Of this sort,
made of very dark, fine serge, with
edges bound with black braid and
every detail fiawlessly tailored will be
very smart indeed; but the MILDLY
must be perfectly cut and tailored If
It Is to possess distinction and style.
Mohair Frocks In Favor For Fall.
Mohair is an excellent material for
the autumn school frock--or even for
an ali-winter school frock for the mat
ter of that. This material Is very
fashionable this season and many of
the sIaartest French trotter frocks for
women are Of mohair or alpaca.
Very attractive school frocks of
navy mohair have pleated skirts,
and tunic waists with very large
arm holes, the edges Of the tunic
bound with braid or scalloped by hand
with silk. Underneath this tunic goes
a guimpe Of white lawn or Of plaid
silk--if lawn is considered too thin

the bag, lay a section of cardboard

be kept perfectly fiat. The side sec
tons of lowered ribbon should be
about four and half inches wide at
the lower, or straight edge, and the
strip at the bottom will measure four

Thus the bag will be Of dainty size
and will just accommodate small
opera glass, a handkerchief and small
vanity outfit.

The School Coat Question.
| No less important than the prob
lem of the school frock is that Of the
school coat. 1t must be sturdy, it
must be good looking, 1t must not
mind rough weather or rough usage.
and it must be roomy enough to grow
in for the girl will probably do some

spring. The formal coat, worn on
high days and holidays needs far less
care in selection than the humble
school coat which will be worn every

Navy Serge Always Admirable.
The standard material for school
dresses in England. France and Amer
lea is dark blue serge. Nothing wears
better, keeps its freshness better and
fits the picture of school day life more
agreeably. A rather hard-twisted
serge should be selected and the finer
the quality the smarter will be the lit

but smart and modern and there
should be all the little touches that
bring a frock up to date. Ones heart

WHY NOT HAVE A FLYLESS
TOWN?

AS the warm weather comes
the flies increase. Soon they will
be spreading typhoid and other
diseases Soon the little child
rem will be dying with diarrheal
diseases carried by health's most
active enemy. Screens, flv pa
per, fly killer in liquid and pow
dered form, swatterS, etc. are all
good and the more they are used
the better, but these are not the
best remedy for the flv nuisance
and danger. Cleo up the breed
ing p aces and the flies disappear.
A fly has never come into ex-
lstence ON strictly clean premises
There is always filth of somv
kind. The favorite breedin2
place is in the horse stable Ii
the stables were Kept clean th>
other breeding places would
soon be cleaned up. There are
several solutions that may be
us d in the stables TO prevent the
flies. These formulas may be
had from the Department of'Ag
rlculture at Washington. The
better plan, howe, er, is to clear
the stables often enough to pre-
vent the breeding Of flies.
There are no more flies IN
Pageland than in other towns,
but there are Tor will be) about
ten million too many. If the
people want it SO, Pageland can
be made a flyless Town. The
effort usually expended in fight
ing the pests if rightly directed is
sufficient TO prevent them. Do
the people want this to be the
most remarkable town in the
Carolinas? If so we shall have
more to say as to the methods.
The farmer who lives apart
from neighbors can prevent flies
If he will. Flies do not 20 far.
and the flies man is troubled
with are of his own raising.
