Though past the age when men

There IS a commendable spirit in evidence among

the demand for coal can be made nearly pos

early in the spring that dealers may know what
amounts needed for their districts The last
years have certainly made plain the need OF
more systematic way OF handling the coal problem.

for trimming taffeta dresses as it
is for those Of serge.
One way that designers have chos-
en- to introduce bright hues into
suits-for, Of course, these too must
have touches Of color, since all our
clothes are to express cheer this
spring-is through highly colored
vests. When still more color is de-
sired, embroideries are added. But
the vest alone is the better way Of
achieving this result, because a good
tailored suit is so very expensive
that the woman who buys carefully
will not order something branded by
striking feature as belonging to a
particular season. The bright vest
gives the new touch, but is, at the
same time, something that may be
discarded at the end of the season
and one still has a good, plain tail

Milliners have no idea Of permit

to exploit taffeta. We have had taft

but this material has never been
given serious consideration, in fact,
no consideration at all for our
formal hats. Now the taffeta hat
has become a very much dressed up

It is quite surprising to see tbs

other model to the addition Of these
new waistcoats. A coat Of this type,
accompanied by a plain, straight
line skirt, is developed in a color
scheme that is really charming.
Pear1-gray flannel Is chosen for
the suit, and on the bottom Of the
coat at either side embroideries are
done in black soutach braid. A
further contrasting accent is given
by the addition Of black velvet
collar and cuffs, the velvet at the
neck being placed over a long rolling
collar Of the cloth. which continues
in straight revers down the entire
length Of the coat. To this is added
a vest of turquoise blue flannel.
For those who do not care for a
flannel suit the model has been
copied in gray cloth, with the blue
waistcoat, black collar and cuffs and
black embroideries.

Lace That Lends
Real Distinction

THE adding Of narrow ruffles Of
old ivory-colored lace to the side of
the collar, sleeves and vest and
where the dress closes at tia waist
line was happy thought, for, while
very simple touch, it gives to the
dress real distinction, and, by the
way, this Is good way to freshen
an old frock. Perhaps you have
some laces laid away that you can
use in this way. The original
French model was made according
to the description that I have Just
given, but it has been copied here in
America in the so-called cartridge
silks which are proving such a
success.
This silk, which is a salvage from
the worlds greatest war, was made
for the manufacture Of cartridge
bags to contain propelling charges
for cannon. At the signing Of the
armistics the War Department
found It had on hand more than
30,000,000 yards Of cartridge silk
cloth. Exhaustive tests were made
in processing the silk and samples
dyed, with the result that a totally
new fabric was born. In its undyed
state this cartridge silk has the ap-
pearance Of a rough linen, but with
none Of the crushing faults Of linen.
When dyed and finished it has the
appearance Of rough siIk.

A Wealth of Color

n wealth. OF color
"NHE popularity Of the the dan
il SAINT and the revival Of the
tango in Paris have had
remarkable influence on
dress. The smart places where people
gather for afternoon dancing have
become centers Of fashion. There
are those who de not go to dance but
simply to study the clothes, not only
for the styles themselves, but for the
wealth Of beautiful color that is ex-
pressed in many Of them, for this
dancing craze has been the means of
introducing unusual colorings of
Spanish origin into our clothes.
Jabot dresses are still a very
strong feature in Paris fashions;
one sees an endless number Of them
at afternoon dances. The jabot
skirt, when topped by simple little
bodice, makes a remarkably pretty
afternoon dress. In fact, nothing
could be more attractive than such
q model when developed in a soft,
clinging fabric. But all have not
these modest corsages. There are
extreme ones having sleeveless bod
ices almost as decollete as an
evening gown.
One worn recently at tea dance
in Paris is illustrated to-day, and,
while it is too extreme to be worn
by American women as an afternoon
dress, it would make charming in
formal dinner frock. The original
is developed in black satin and silver
lace, the lace forming the jabot cas-
cade down the sides Of the draped
skirt A straight piece Of the lace
goes about the figure to make an
under portion for the surplice bodice
Of black satin.
Old Favorites
In New Patterns
A GREAT many beautiful new fab
RIGS have large designs printed

having frocks made to match coAt
Innings, which prevailed during the
past winter, no doubt had a great
deal to do with the development and
elaboration Of silks that were similar
to the materials which we have been
wont to employ as Innings for wraps
only. Many old favorites have re-
turned to US in new guises as a re-
suit Of the extensive use Of these
silks. Chiffon Is one that has fol-
lowed the lead Of gay patterned
silks.
To read Of chiffon frock in which
the material printed in large de-
sign Of two colors is combined with
chiffon in two solid tones might give
you the impression Of q decidedly
bizarre effect and for that reason I
am glad to be able to show you TO-
day q dress developed in just this
way and in which the result obtained
by such q combination is simple and
quaint. It is sketched at tho extreme
left Of the picture.
The marriage, as the French say,
OF two colors, navy blue and white,
is wonderfully worked out In this de-
sign. There is just enough Of the
deep blue In the upper part Of the
skirt to accentuate this note without
making the dress dark. Where the
printed fabric, which is white with
large blue design, joins the plain
one, lace entre-deux is used for out
lining the edges Of the points and
tho oblique ends Of the panels.

Short Box Coats Worn

ROX coats are not confined to reg

Worth, as well as at other great
Paris houses, the box coat has been

one-piece dress has a straight box
coat to be worn over it. Instead Of
having contrasting vest these are
open in the front to reveal the full
length Of the frock. Ever 80 many

Our citizens are so prone to the
habit of allowing freight to accumu-
late in the depot here that the local
agent is enforcing rigidly the rules
governing storage charges in order to
have consignees move their freight
promptly. Storage charges are added
to the freight bills forty-eight hours
after notice has been sent notifying
a consignee that the shipment is in
the depot. The enforcement of the
rule serves to keep the warehouse
from becoming overcrowded and does
facilitate the handling of freight, but
in view of the miserable service the
public has been compelled to put up
with at the hands of the railroad
management in recent years, it would
at least be consistent for the company
to use discretion in the matter of stor-
age charges or demurrage. Some
people habitually leave their freight
in the depot because it is a safe place
of storage, but the majority of the
patrons of the Kingstree freight de-
pot only leave it there beyond the
time allowed because they can't help
themselves, md then it is only for
day or two. Consistency is jewel
and might be practiced as proftably
by a big railroad company as by the
individual.
