Brilliant Fabrics for Borders.

An actually new feature OF fash
ION which the materials reflect, or
possibly instigatc. is the use of
turned-up hem, called a cuff hem, AZ
the bottom of skirts, made OF bril-
liant colors or plain fabrics, with an
Egyptian or Aztec design printed on
them. There are many kinds of ma
terials for these borders and wom-
an can frame herself in, as II were,
10y bordering her skirt. cuffs. collar
and Waistline.
| All artists know the value Of a
frame. They realize that any ar
rangemont of lines and colors needs
a strong outline around II to coop e
crate its parts into pleasing whole
and it IS the artists who have con-
stantly impressed upon women that
their costumes need some one strong
note going around the figure. At last
comes the border, to do this very
thing. Your yourself know the dr.
| ference between an unframed aud a
| framed picture. You know what
striking character is given to a small
design Of any kind bv taking a bit OF
dark paper or u crayon and putting Il
| line around II.
Now, exactly this thing is being
done In fashion. A woman will be
| framed in with sharp lire of some
broad. slender line does the york
, in an effective way. on Shantung,
tussor, Jersey silk and musllrs there
will be = sharp, distinct frame made
| thru = border of the same or another
material IN marked coloring.
1t is more important 20 put this
striking frame around n gown which
| has designs on II than around one
made of plain fabric Take. for in

bold, crudely colorcd Egyptian fig
ures on it, and also that new weave Of
Georget.e crepe that the specialists
are putting out which has It's white
surface covered with quantities or
small, flying birds in the Chinese de-
sign. all brilliantly colored; botn
these fabrics would make gowns ap-
pear fragmentary and unfinished
sketchy, rs it were-if they did not
have frame of black, dark blue or
dun red at all the edges to hold the
design together.
Flying birds that have gone thru
all the art of China, and quivcrlng
butterflies flying in flocks, have been
| taken up by the designers In differ
ent ways. They are printed on the
surface IN q remarkable manner, In
lines, in circles. and again as rag
inentary bits Of color. irregularly
placed.
Even tho the house OF Callot uses
materials with quivering butterflies In
| blue, dark and yellow floating over
the surface, such material is not FOR
every woman. .One must have many
gowns in the wardrobe to take pos
session OF one OF this variety. and. be-
| fore putting money into these ox"
pensive fabrics. II Is well to he quite
sure that the face and figure can
carry off so startling a motif as flying
birds and butterflies.
Blouses Minus Sleeves.
The kind OF Russian blouse which
| Is kept in fashion for the spring, has
an exceedingly ornamental belt
placed at tho normal waistline. To
begin with this lifting OF the belt IL u

wearing In the medieval styles

the last six months there has been an

There are also blouses made OF bril- .

Revival of Shocking.
Since the advent of h-prlced and
artistic evening coats. which are
fitted in at the shoulders thru elabo-
rate shocking done with SILK thread.
In the same color as the velvet OF
satin material. there has come about a
revival Of this primitive style Of hand
work. II has been used for three or
four wears on that wide assortment Of

ment signed by her made plain thai
the ownership still resided in him.
In his allegations against his wife
he said that she squandered $4,000
of his money; that she forced him into
debt to buy her diamonds, fine clothes
and cultivate her voice; that her i'm

crative law practice in south Georgia
and move to Atlanta, where he says he
now owes $4,000, and doesn't make

sane than she is; that she was cruel
to his two sons; that she predicted his
death in two months and is already

AUTO DEMOLISHED BY
TRAIN NEAR PLAINS

A Ford car driven by Rufus Cody, OF
Columbus, Ca, was demolished late
Friday afternoon at the Seaboard Air
Line crossing at the old Zimmerman
& Wise plantation near Plains. Mr..
Cody approached the crossing too rap
idly to stop his car when he saw the
train almost upon him. The engine
struck the Ford at the rear wheels,
hurling it against telegraph pole ana
damaging it almost beyond repair.
Mr.. Cody. while badly shaken no and
mere or less bruised, was not injured.
He had been visiting his sister, Mrs.
Alvin Zimmerman, of Plains, and was
returning to Columbus when the acct
dent occurred.

FORMER AMER|CUS
BOY NOW IN NAVY

! lCharles R. Weeks, son of J. NJ.
Weeks, of this city, has written most
Interestingly of conditions as they ex-
list in the yeoman's training school at
| Newport, r. l., where he has been sta
toned for several weeks past since
nlisting in the United States navy.
In a letter to his uncle, Ed Castle
berry, OF Americas, he gives quite de-
tailed account of the school.
An extract from his letter follows

9th, shipped to Norfolk, Va, and stay

good as a fellow can get on first leav-
Jig the school; rate $33 per month
at present, and if We get that raise,
rate $48 per month.
After we left Norfolk and got to
Newport, articles of clothing were 50
scarce that we could only get what was
absolutely necessary; had to sleep in
tents. and only had one blanket. When
left Atlanta the people were wearing
summer clothes. I repeat, the people
we're wearig SUMMER clothes. Upon
reaching Newport, there was about
two or three feet of snow on the
ground. Do you understand me-.
