Bailey Military Institute Opens
With Large Enrolment.

Greenwood, Nov. 15.-After clos
ing for several weeks on account of
the epidemic Bailey Military Insti-
tute reopened on November 4, with
an enrolment of 357 cadets, this be-
ing 100 more than it has ever been
able to accommodate Before. Accomo-
dation of this additional number was
made possible by changing the quar-
ters of several teachers and the con-
struction of a new barracks building
on the campus. The new barracks was
completely ready for occupancy at
the. re-opening. All rooms in this
building had been reserved before it
was completed and the superintend-
ent was compelled to turn away a
large number of young men who ap-
piled later.
The increased enrolment necessi-
tated the formation of five companies
in the cadet battalion instead of four,
the usual number. The commandant
perfected the reorganization while
the cadets were on furlough and the
regular daily drills and exercises be-
gan Immediately after the re-opening.
Anticipating an unusually large at
tendance the headmaster reorganized
the class room work, dividing the
classes into many sections so that
individual instruction might be given.
Printed schedules were given to all
cadets as soon as they returned and
the regular class room work began
the first day.
Several new professors have been
added to the faculty, which is now
larger than ever before, there being
21 officers and instructors.
Much to the delight of the cadets
the superintendent has had erected a
large reading and recreation hall. The
hall is furnished with all the leading
magazines and newspapers as well as
large number of games, musical in
struments, etc. This hall is in charge
of Miss Bailey who opens it to the
cadets every afternoon during the
recreation period.
In compliance with the proclama-
tion of the mayor of the city the au-
thorities granted holiday to the ca
dets Monday, November II. The bat
talon led the parade through the
streets of the city and afterwards en-
tered, enthusiastically, into the gen.
eral celebration over the news of the
triumph of the allies.
Major Curry has moved into an at
tractive new bungalow recently erect

Slogans That Have Counted.

One Of the big factors in arousing
the people Of the United States to the
great patriotic service they could per-
form through war gardening was
through the slogans sounded from
time to time, writes Charles Lathrop
Pack, president Of the National War
Garden commission, in an article in
the Garden Magazine.
EVERY garden a munition plant"
Is the slogan on the design drawn by
James Montgomery Flagg. "Can vege-
tables and fruit and can the kaiser,
tOo," is the slogan of another striking
poster.
"Grow food F. o. B. the kitchen
door," is one Of the forceful slogans
coined and used by the commission.
"Hohenrakes versus Hohenzollerns"
is another Of the phrases which has
hit the reader between the eyes.
"Get into the garden trenches :"
"The hoe is the machine gun of the
garden; :" "Food must follow the flag"
are slogans that have done their bit.
keep the home soil turning" is q
clever paraphrase Of the title of a
famous song. Other successful
phrases used by the commission are :
speed up and spade up" 'Tune up
the spading fork"

New York.-The world goes on re-
viving old things and calling them new.
This is not only true of the stupendous
form, asserts prominent fashion crit
ic, but 1t is true of the minor accidents
and happenings that flutter through
"this imbroglio called life."
Observe fashions. The designers dip
their hands deep into the boiling pot
Of ancient lands, history and peoples,
and pull out Of 1t demure or fantastic
things, which they dress up bit and
give over to most modern people, who
accept them as new.
At present the designers are dipping
more deeply than ever. They seem to
be frantically pulling out odds and
ends Of flotsam and jetsam that mus:
serve to whet the appetites Of those
who have money.
Garden Hats and Tea Gowns.
1t seemed fitting thing today to
revive the simplicity Of Civil war cos
tumery, and therefore we see ap-
preaching us an era Of printed mus
Inns, garden hats, pastel cOlors and
Colonial fichus.
Along with these fashions comes
that intimate and usually alluring gar
ment called the tea gown. 1t is as
much part Of the English social sys-
TEN as five o'clock tea, cricket and par
lament. The French have always
placed their reliance upon the garment
(which they call the .'robe d'interieur."
But the American had nothing to place
beside these two.
When this remark was once made
to a French designer, she lifted her
eyebrows in surprise and asked, "But
is there not the Mother Hubbard"
There was, she was assured, but it
was not the kind of garment Of which
she would approve.
But here in America today we are
rapidly learning the artistic value and
comfort of the British tea gowns.
which someone once described as the
only really soft thing in the British
nation. That statement was made,
however, before the English woman
had learned to copy the arts and the
graces Of face and figure from the
French, and when she still wore her
stiff, unyielding, ugly clothes; her big
boots; straight, manniSh Scotch
tweeds, and raglan coats. ..
The English tea gown has spread
over the civilized world, alongside Of
the English five o'clock tea, which even
the American soldiers behind the
French battle front have learned to
desire.
The British wear two sets Of CO.'S
tumery at that hour in the afternoon,
and both of these are introduced this
summer; the fiowered muslin with the

Ameriea's Contribution.
We are becoming quite self-assure<:
in designing clothes these days, and
have made such rapid progress that
we do not rest entirely upon what
others give us.
When the dressmakers found that
women who spent different amounts
of money and moved In different kinds
of social life were asking for tea
gowns, there Immediately jumped up
kind Of rivalry among the workers
to see who could get out something
startling and good.
The especial contribution in which
this rivalry has resulted Is the rain.
bow tea gowns. We have already
found out that we are in for ''rain.
bow" season. Whoever named the
first fighting division that went to
France had a happy inspiration-it
gave the word to hundred activities
in this country. The name flickers
from the stage, on posters, gowns and
hats, and now it seems to have found
an admirable setting in the new tea
gown.
Elaborate Japanese Style.
France has sent to us q striking tea
gown that is being copied. 1t is made
as an elaborate Japanese kimono. The
material is extra-broad black and
white striped satin. There is flicker
Of white lace and a bit of white satin,
and the robe Is complete.
All of the house robes that are to be
substituted for dinner gowns this
spring and summer do not owe their
inspiration to the exotic East. There
are other epochs and other fashions
from which the designers draw.
The early nineteenth century has
been found prolific in ideas. The tea
gowns which are taken from that time
are sometimes more suitable for the
average woman than the more compli-
Gated draperies.
These are made of flowered chiffon,
printed voile and silk net, and they are
run beneath the bust, after the manner
that obtained in the Directoire, with
broad ribbons Of old blue, pale pink
and Chinese yellow. They are half
low and round In the neck, and have
short puffed sleeves.

Fresher Symbolism.

Symbolism has more direct rela-
ton to our conduct than we are always
ready to grant. The old conventions
of burial and Of grief overemphasized
the Importance of physical and indi-
vidual loss, and so were in themselves
an observation of the new light we are
seeking upon the marble face of death.
The growing practice of wearing white
rather. than black for mourning, or Of
continuing the habitual colors Of ones
dress; the movement for placing upon
the service flag gold star in memory
Of soldier killed. are attempts toward
q fresher and truer symbolism express
ing our growing protest against the
depression and paralysis too often re-
sultant upon the passage Of a loved
one from the known world to the un-
known.-Winifred Kirkland, in Attain
tic Monthly.

Companions on Service FLAG.

A thirteen-star service flag has just
been raised in Baltimore. It repre-
sents thirteen inseparable companions.
One star is golden and honors the
memory Of Louis Cohen, boatswain's
mate on the United States steamer
Manley, who made the supreme sac,
rifice when his ship and British ves-
sci collided somewhere in the Atlantic.
The other twelve stars represent his
mourning companions, who are now
preparing to 60 "over there" Four
are in the navy, one at Camp McClel-
Ian, Admission, Ala, and another at
Camp Meade, Md. The flag hangs
from the window Of a store kept by
II. Mankoditz. at 143O Baltimore
street, where the "crowd Of thirteen"
used to meet before being called to
the colOrs. Cohen was q son Of Louis
Cohen, living at 13 Ridger place, New
York. The Manley collision occurred
March 10 last. A depth charge aboard
the ship was exploded by the impact,
killing one officer and three enlisted
men and injuring number Of others.
