Arthur L. 5lbert

One of the saddest pieces of news
that ever came to Roanoke was
the news this morning of the sud-
den death in New York of Arthur
l.. Sibert. He had been a citizen
and merchant of Roanoke for many
years, and everybody had learned
to know him and to hold him m
high esteem His genial manner,
enthusiastic interest in everything
that looked to the upbdilding of
Roanoke, and his generous friend
ship for those in close touch with
him, won for him a warm place in
the hearts of a great many people
and made him welcome member
of social assemblages of civic CT
CARNATIONS, and of business circles.
As a merchant he established a
most successful enterprise and was
reconized in wholesale and financial
circles in New York as one of the
strongest Southern business repre-
sentatives. He was known and
welcomed on the frlendllest terms
among the leading houses of the
metropolis Aside from his sue
cessful Merchandise establishment in
Roanoke, Mr. Sibert was largely
interesd in the First National Bank
and as director of that institution
he took most actives part in its
affairs. The First National occu-
pied a place close to his heart, and
he labored in its behalf because OF
the effectionate feeling he cherished
for it.
1t was not alone in business,
however, that Mr.. Sibert found his
interests. He was friend of the
sincerest type to we'll know Roa-
nokers, and they feel that in. his
death a place in their lives has
been made vacant which cannot be
filled He had host of friends,
and acquaintance without number,
and all of them have been pro-
toundly shocked and grleved by
his sudden death. Exsi
Roanoke has lost a true and
good citizen, and Roanoke will
hold him in grateful memory

GO TO EXTREMES
IDEA OF FUR TRIMMING Is BEING
OVERCOME.
Expert Declares Dressmakers Are Los
ing Their Sense of Proportion
New Toques Are All Appar-
emily Of Extreme Height.

There Is such a craze for fur trim
ings this winter that some Of our
dressmakers are losing the sense Of
proportion which is so necessary for
all artists, sartorial and otherwise.
For example, have seen wide bands
Of fur passed round the hips of 1880
dresses with deplorable results, writes
Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspond
ent of the Boston Globe.
No form, however tall and slender,
could carry off such a trimming as
this, and the idea is wrong; even
highly inartistic. The jersey dress
which is always associated with the
1SS0-1sa1 period was sort of glori-
fed tish-wife costume. The eorsage,
which reached well down on the hips,
was skin-tight and it was attached to a
wide hem Of killed material.
Where the plain bodice was Joined
to the killed hem there was a loose
sash which circled the hips and which
was tied In q fiat bow at the back
All this was quite reasonable. But
when the same style of dress Is fn.
ished off with q hip belt Of opossum
or fox a spirit of mere eccentricity is
introduced.
Some Of the new toques are so dis
tinctly directoire that they fill US with
amazement; for example, the Chin
ney.pet models, which are high as the
highest tall hat ever worn by man,
and which have practically no brim.
Needlessly to say these models are not

High Cost and the Farmer

fashioned article-a buggy and
the salesman at the implement
store showed him one at 500.
Talk about, the high cost of liv-
ing" the farmer grumbled. II
can remember that my father
bought a buggy exactly like that
for $50 twenty years ago"
The salesman remembered the
sale, too. and he responded quickly
Your father turned in 300 bush
els of corn to pay for it. Now
I'll do better by you than | did by
your father. You bring in your 300
busels of corn and III let you pick
out this list"
And the salesman wrote down.
One 500 buggy.
One $50 wagon.
One $40 suit of clothes.
One $40 dress.
One SIS baby dress.
One SIS crib.
One So box of cigars.
So worth of sugar.
$3.50 worth of coffee.
81 worth of tea
$40 worth of gasoline.
So 30 worth of lubricating oil.
The total figured $240, the value
of The 800 bushels of corn it had
taken to buy a 500 buggy twenty
years before The farmer climbed
back into his motor car.

becoming they are exceedingly smart

These toques are covered with mir
ror velvet panne ar hatter's plush and
in some cases they are trimmed with
high, straight aigrettes made Of coarse
horsehair. 1t seems at the present
moment that all our dress artists,
dressmakers and milliners alike are
trying hard to create a race of tall
women. Certainly it is true that the
new high-crowned toques add several
inches to a woman's height, and the
same may be said of long straight
dresses.
Some of the newest three--cornered
models are very high at the sides, with
q distinct dip in front. When these
hats are worn with the new wells,
which are handsomely embroidered on
the upper hem, no trimming whatever
Is introduced, but little by little high,
straight, mounts are creeping back into
favor.
The couture sketched is an example
of the craze for addition to the
