THE NEW BARREL SILHOUETTE
Fashion Offers Straight Lines as Well
as Barrel Effects this Spring.
SILKS STRONGLY IN EVIDENCE
New York. March 19, 10.

New York, March 19, 1917.
There will be two fashionable sill
houettes this spring. The slim silhou-
cite. with its straight, chnging lines
will continue to be first in favor, as
it has been all through the winter,
but the new barrel skirt will give
women a chance to indulge in the
bouffant effect, which will, doubtless.
be welcomed by those who have COM
planned of being tired OF the eternal
straight line.
True to its name. the new silhou-
cite is in the outline of a barrel, GulS-
ing at the hips and drawn in at the
waste and ankles. There are many
ways of accomplishing this pufRiness
over the hips. One is by the clever
draping Of the material at the waist
line somewhat after the fashion OF
the "peg-top" skirts that were used
some years ago. This type of the
barrel skirt is shown in the sketch,

MISTRIAL IN MURDER CASE
Newberry Men Involved in Killing III
LaurenS County.

Laurens, March 18.-A mistrial was
late Friday night ordered in the case
of the State against John N. Jones the
young Newbercy man who was put on
trial in the Laurens court Thursday,
charged with the killing of Ben. w.
STEPHENS. also of NeWberry county.
at cross Hill, this county, just before
Christmas last year. The case was
given to the jury Friday afternoon.
the trial and arguments in the case
having occupied a day and a half OF
the court.
The plea of the young defendant
was self-defense. Stephens had made
threats against the life of Jones, ac-
cording to several witnesses. On the
day of the killing Jones drove to the
town of Cross Hill, accompanied by
one of his friends. They passed Ste
phens just as they were entering
town. the latter being in a wagon.
Shortly after Jones had entered a
drug store, Stephens me in and
called to the former to know if he
was armed. Hot words followed and
Jones fired one shot, striking Ste
phens in the abdomen. Jones fed
from the store. and as he was going
out the door Stephens shot at him.
though fatally shot himself. He was
taken to a hospital and fingered
about day. Stephens left wife and
a large family of children. There had
been trouble between the sons OF Ste
phens and the young man Jones, and
in consequence of this it was said
that the elder Stephens had sworn
that he would settle the whole trou-
Bile when he met Jones.

Satins and a Variety of Silks for
Spring.
Perhap. the most generally favored
of all fabric this spring will c.s sat
in. It is to be used for one -p.ere
dresses, FOR suits, and for separate
coats. This material will also be i'll
demand for evening gowns and after
noon dresses, and for these its pop
ularity will be shared by charmeuss,
which is very closely related to sat-
in. The suits and dresses ~ :atin
will be decorated with braidins ano
embroidery, and much Of :he en'hroid-
cry will carry out the Oriental col
orinss which are distinctly in vogue
this season.
There is decided predominant
Of silks for spring. Among the silks
for suits, poplin, rajah and tussur
are strongly in evidence, and many
novel ideas are noticed in the devei-
opments of these materials. On q
suit of gold-colored silk jersey, black
velvet was used for the collar ano
for a band at the lower edge Of ths
coat. Some suits Of rajah are trim
med with stenciling in attractive COL
or. combinations. The stencfling is
done on the fronts Of the coats or
only on the belts, just enough to fur
nish some contrast. This is one OF
the very best trimming ideas.
In spite of the great vogue for col
ors in all the brightest hues and IN
all manner of combinations, a great
deal of black and white is used. When
cleverly handled, this combination is
always attractive, and it is again
very fashionable in Paris and Ne"
York. Solid black and white check
ed materials with rather large cheeks
are considered smart for coats, botn
for the long separate coats and tol
shorter coats to be worn with white
serge skirts.

what infinite patience and skltlful
hand the silent and heavy laden man
who but few years ago served you

day a great historian will tell the
story of what he has endured, OF the
problems he has met, Of the scrupu-
lous care and patience he has taken
to preserve the rights OF America
and to keep free and open the pro-
