Fashion Dictates Auto Modes.
Winds blow in from every port
news OF fashions which are the envy
OF every fair daughter Of Eve. In
Chicago, so the story goes, the fate
of many fine old houses, mansions
rich with the associations of bygone
generations, is to be turned into
shrines for the "dernier cris" in hats,
coats and frocks. Just such trans
formation occurred in Omaha the
Other day in q large old house on
Capitol avenue. where every kind Of
new spring costume was displayed on
living models. Such displays are Of
all-absorbing interest; they hold their
spectators spellbound. Someone has
compared the look to that on the faces
of a Turkish throng when the
prophets sacred carpet is carried past
in procession.
One of the most noticeable Of these
garments for the spring Of the year
was pongec top coat for motor
wear. 1t was trimmed with an ef-
fective shade Of heliotrope, which, by
the way, is much in favor among mo-
florists. Miss Alice Duva1 is now
seen frequently in very "Frenchy"
costume of purple, with which she
wears purple goggles to match.
Speaking OF things to match re-
minds US that travellers returning
from the east tell how feminine driv-
crs OF new wonderfully colored cars
wear elaborate automobile costumes
Of exactly the same shade. This be-
ing the case, a person who wishes to
present car to fair damsel as a
token OF his affection will have to ex-
ercise extreme care in choosing the
color of the car 10 harmonic with
the complexion Of his lacy love. A
bright red car presented to an auburn
haired miss might be considered a de-
liberate insult and consequently stir
up strife.
Miss Regina Cornell has among the
many frocks which she will wear on
her long trip to the east new motor
ing coat OF citron colored chartreuse,
made long and loose, with the popular
bell effect. Such a top coat for use
in the ever present autom obile is an
actual wardrobe necessity.
On dull mornings Miss Helene Blk
by, who is an inveterat. motorist,
may be seen in becoming Norfolk
Jacket OF leather in heliotrope shade.
1t is one OF the natticst automobile
costume adjuncts that anyone can
boast and is immensely becoming 10

AS to the Monument


Mr.. H. B. Wood, Editor:
Monterey, Va. -.
Dear Sir
Various persons have been
coming to members of the monu-
ment committee, complaining that
we are not putting up monument
sufficiently handsome for the
Court House Yard but these per
sons do not make any effert to as
sist us in raising funds with which
to pay for same.
One gentleman says he will be
one of ten men to give $4,000
each for monument with statue
on it. If this gentlemen will find
the other nine men for us, and all
those who wish a larger monument
will come forward promptly with
generous offerings, we will take up
the matter of a larger and hand
somer monument. This, however,
must be done promptly, as we
haze already been over long in
getting this matter closed and if
nothing is done at once, we will
take for granted that those per
sons were just talking, and will be
satisfied with what we feel we are
abe to erect.
Very respectfully
