Black Creeps Into Fashion.

Cloth suits for the street have been
in every color except black for three
years. This is rare occurrence.
Thousands of women have always
chosen black cloth of some kind for a
conventional street suit. without even
caring to investigate into the realm Of
color for a change, but even conven-
tional women have for the last three
years given up their choice of black
and accepted dark gray, purple. blue and
mixed worSteds.
There are women well over forty years
of age who have accepted the fashion

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 1s-It was the
comment of those who study clothes
that the world war did not bring about
a preference for black in any country
except France. In England and in Ger
many, those who were not in mourning
still chung to bright colors. The French
designers led the American women into
colorful channels of dress. and the red.
blue. yellow and green that has domi-
mated our costumery for three years. has
been a remarkable bit of psychology.
No one has yet understood why such
splendid apparel was launched during a
Time of SO much sadness and anxiety.
The fact that gorgeousness was laid
down as the law during the first year OF
the war was put down to preparedness.
The French manufacturers had prepared
materials in brilliant colors, and the
dressmakers had arranged for metal en-
broideries. and ii was too late to change
their plans when the war broke.
Now. it may be that the reason these
brilliant colors have not been set aside
in favor of white, black and gray is
that France has not had much that was
new in the way of fabrics since the war
began. and America has used up her
time in producing stock fabrics in con-
ventional colors

B. M. c. BANQUET

The annual banquet of the Business
Mems Club will be held Tuesday
night, January %. The place for the
banquet has been left to committee
on arrangements. The program has
also been turned over to committee.
These annual gatherings have done
much good and contributed toward
bringing the people of the town and
county together. In recent years they
have learned much of the mutual in
terest and interdependence on each
other, and that the prosperity of one
means the prosperity of the other
The more closely they are associated
more clearly will this appear.
We hope the banquet on, the 23rd
will prove the banner gathering Of
these occasions and that long step
forward will be made. In unity there
is strength; and, if the people Of coun-
ty and town will unite for higher and
better things, our hope for the BAN
quet will be a reality.

SEEKS MERCY FOR YOUTH
WHO SERVED SIX YEARS

Mrs. John Bratton, of Atlanta, Ga,
is in the city on her way to Trenton
and Stanton, Tenn, in behalf of Frank
Hart, young man who has completed
a six-year sentence in the federal pris-
on at Atlanta, and who is about to be
taken to Stanton for trial in the Hay
wood county court for practically the
same offense for which he has served
in the federal prison.
Hart was barely 20 years old when
he was arrested in ], S. Rawlins' store
at Stanton. The postofice was in the
store, and this brought the case in the
jurisdiction Of the federal court.
Nothing was stolen and the only loss
sustained was a broken window.
Mrs. Bratton says Hart entered the
store to get something to eat. In all
events, he was held in the county Jail
at Fulton for several months and in
the Shelby county jail one year before
he was sentenced to the federal prison
at Atlanta.
His term having expired, Gov. Rye
was called upon to issue requisition
to bring him back to Tennessee for
trial in the Haywood county court on
charge Of breaking into the store.
Mrs. Bratton has letters from the
prison authorities saying Hart was a
model prisoner; letter from the
granite foreman, which says that
Hart has learned the stonecutters'
trade and would be a iourneyman in
short time, and one from Mrs. Hays,
matron of the Fulton county Jail, in
which, she makes an earnest and pa
thetic plea in behalf Of the young
man.
She also has letters from prominent
attorneys at Atlanta urging the with
dfawal of the prosecution at Stanton;
one from Hillsman Taylor, attorney.
general, who lives at Trenton, and
the Judge. of the court, saying they
will enter a nolle pros if Rawlins will
withdraw his prosecution.
This leaves the matter entirely with
Rawlins, who will be seen by Mrs.
Bratton tomorrow. Mrs. Bratton is a
trained nurse and rnothef. She said
Hart is respondent and had attempt
ed suicide. His attempt was frustrat-
ed an6 she was called to attend him.
Thus she became interested in his
case. - Memphis Commercial Appeal,

EXTENDING USE on TELEPHONE
N. c. & St. L. Railway Acquires 445
Miles of Line from Western Union.

Through the acquisition by pur-
chase of 445 miles Of pole and wire
lines from the Western Union, the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
Railway will, within a short time, be
enabled to operate trains on approx
mately two-thirds of its system under
telephone control.
The company now operates its
trains by telephone from Nashville to
Chattanooga, distance Of Isl miles;
and also from Nashville to Hickman,
KY, a distance of Ill miles. These
lines were built by the company, the
Nashville Hickman line having only
recently been completed. 1t is the in
tention of the company to gradually
convert it's lines now used in telegraph
service to telephone lines, and with
the lines recently purchased from the
Western Union the road will have
nearly 800 miles of its 1896 miles of
roadway under telephone control.
The new lines purchased will en-
able the road to operate trains by tel
ephnne between the following points:
From Paducah to Paris, from Lexing-
ton to Perryville, from Colesburg to
Aliens Greek, from Nashville to Leb-
anon, from Tullahoma to Ravenscroft
and Clifty, from Harvest, Ala,
through Fayetteville to Flora, from
Hobbs Island to Flora, from Gunters-
vile to Gadsden, from Tracy City to
Cowan, from Bridgeport to Cowan,
and from Bridgeport to 0rme From
Paris the road expects to extend its
line to Hollow Rock Junction to con-
meet with its line from Nashville, and
win also extend its line from Flora
to Decherd and put IN additional lines
from Tullahoma to Decherd.
The use of the telephone in train
.dispatching has grown in recent years
and the extension Of this system by
the n. G. & St. L. is but another cyl
dence of the progressive policy of
he management.
