PARIS CIINGS TO
F. MODE THAT SUITS

times the fur is used to give a slightly
exaggerated hip line as it finishes the
lower edge of a coat. Then again 1t
is employed only for tiny collar fit
ting the neck snugly. -s---
Trimming In Moderation.
The trimmings on the Partisan mid
winter frocks are gorgeous and beau
tiful. but rather sparingly used. Little
strips of gilded trimming edge necks
and sleeves in clever fashion. and
sometimes these edges are repeated on
pocket flaps or on the edges of long
slit pockets. Fringe is almost extinct,
but there are bits Of 1t seen on the
ends of tapping panels or to trim the
abbreviated evening skirt of an other
wise tightly fitting gown. Embroidery
is more fashionable than ever, though
when the French do it they lean, espe-
cially just now, to rather inconspicu-
Gus strips rather than to large and
heavy banding.
Taffeta Is fast growing in favor
and every day from the couturiers
come new models made Of this mate
rial. This would seem to indicate
the popularity of taffeta for spring
wear in our own country. Taffetas
now are soft and pliable. and they are
guaranteed, too, to wear reasonably
well, so that the purchase of them
does not mean the taking of any very
desperate chances.
One of the very latest of taffeta mod
els is from Madeleine ct Madeleine, q
house which is the recent rage OF
Paris. The color is black and the
stripes across the front are little tucks
run in by fine hand stitches. Then
there is a plated frill Of the taffeta
about the neck, tied with :. ribbon
woven in bright green and gold threads
The overskirt, low in front and high
at back, is edged with deep fringe
of monkey fur. The sleeves in this
model are short and pulled.
The Partisan Waist Line.
The basque on this frock is one OF
the new DEGREES of Paris. It does
not reach as low a line as basques
of the past few months have done.

Contracts for Convict
Labor Made.
Contracts Provide For Eight-Hour
Day and Pay For Overtime.

Montgomery, Ala, July 10TH
An S-hour working day, with pay
for all work over and above the daily
task, is provided in four contracts
for convict labor which were signed,
sealed and mailed from the Office
of c. B. Rogers, president of the
State Convict Board, Wednesday
afternoon. These contracts were
officially entered into by the Schloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron Company
the Besscmer Coal, Iron and Land
Company, the Montevallo Mining
Company and the Pratt Consolidated
Coal Company, all of Birmingham.
Throughout this arrangement, it is
possible for the convict to contribute
something to the support of his
family, if he has one, or to save his
earnings until his term in prison
shall have been completed. 1t is be-
lieved that the result will be bene-
fit to the State and to the convict
as well, as it will give him an in
centive to apply himself to his work
for his own advancement and benc-
fit.
Fine, if it works like it sounds.
