SATINS FOR FALL
shimmering Material Promises to
Replace Popular Taffeta.
Designers Have Changed Favor In
Fahric-Quantities of Ribbon
Now Being Used.

In preparing their models for au-
tuinn designers have turned to satin.
In fashions we are constantly witness
Ing the rise and fall Of favorites. The
reign Of taffeta was a comparatively
long one for any fabric. Now 1t must

soft, shimmering satin. Taffetn really
ran too swift pace If SO much OF it
had not been used we might have had

its practicability could not save 1t.
Very few taffetas are shown for early
autumn.
Quantities of ribbon. especially
moires. are used on the satin dresses.
.Dressmakers appear to have suddenly
turned their attention TO MORE ribbon
as trimming. In most of these satin
frocks the Egyptian influence seen IL:

Belts consisting of two lengths OF

frequently are placed about the waist
line, as such belt would be too bulky
TO tie about the hips. The preference.
however, is for the hip swathing CIR
die. Many Of the black satin dresses
have girdles Of the material lined with
white.
Brocaded crepe de chimes are much
in evidence. Crepe de chine, which
was so popular in Paris earlier in the
season. is only now being taken up to
any great extent by American women.
There are some perfectly charming
crepe de chine dresses, dark brown in
cufor. with large floral patterns brocad-
ed In a shade even darker than the
background itself. These are made
with low waistline bodices crumpIing

NEW SHOES BLACK OR BROWN
coiors Promise to Prevail in Fall
Footwear; High and Low Styles
Evenly Divided.

Black and two or three shades OF
brown viii be the favored leather col
ors for fall fashionable shoes, with
popularity honors about evenly divided
between boots and low footwear. says
the Dry Goods Economist.
Footwear of moderately conserva-
five lines is expected to be strongly
favored for various reasons. One of
the most important ones is the insist
ent demand Of the public for shoes
of the same high quality to which peo-
pie have grown accustomed, at lower
prices.
Fall styles for shoes indicate a de-
cided tendency for lower heels. Mill
tary and Cuban heels, with a faI.
percentage of Baby Louis heels. win
be the popular merchandise for gen
eral wear. Full Louis heels will be-
in little demand, except for formal
dress shoes.

trimmed with blue. or all-blue hats are
worn with a black gown, notes cor
respondent in the London Times. It
is rich and glowing combination, and
suits dark and fair women alike.
Green is another favorite color this
year. A jade green cloak over a black
gown and worn with black hat is a
happy scheme; and green straw hats
with black lace wells are successful
with a black, or black and white cos
tune. Green Is amazingly popular for
evening wear, although it Is not wide
ly becoming. and in most cases neces-
states makeup. AT the opera green
dresses have been very frequent.
Strong colors have momentarily
driven pale shades into hiding. and
women are wearing daring clothes
both at afternoon and evening parties.
Vivid hats with dark costumes CON
tinue to please, but the dark hats, all
black, or black and brown, or brown
and black, maintain their unquestioned
style. The regrettabie fashion of
wearing aigrettes and paradise
plumes is being criticized In Paris as
well as in England. and it is hoped
that the leading miiliners will make a
point of suppressing them as trim
mings. Flowers and fruit are more in
favor than ever a big hat with a

Registration Procedure.

State Auditor c. Lee Moore sent a
circular letter to commissioners OF the
revenue and county and city treas
urers instructing them to collect cap
itation or poll taxes from women who
desire to qualify as electors under the
terms of the nineteenth Federal con.
| stitutional amendment.
| Attention is called to an act passed
| by the last Legislature providing the
machinery for the registration and
voting by women In the event the
Federal amendment should be ratified
! after the close of the session and be-
fore the assembling of another ses-
| sion.
Auditor Moore's statement to State
and city officials reads in part as fol-
lows: "A woman who desires to VOTE
before she can register, must pay the
State poll (capitation) tax of $3.50
assessable for 1921; and it is the duty
of the commissioner of the revenue
to assess every woman. who applies
to be assessed, and the commissioner
should give to each applicant a GER
tificate showing date of application,
f! first given name and initial Gf any
and family name, residence and color
of applicant. and year for which tax
is assessed, 1. e., 1921; which certifi-
cate she should present to the county
or city treasurer and pay that officer
one dollar and fifty cents ($1.5O), and
the treasurer should give her a re-
ceipt showing name, residence and
color, date Of payment and amount
paid, and state that the payment is the
poll (capitation) taxes assessable for
1921"

State Supplies On Cooperative Basis.
Richmond -
Plans for the cooperative buying
OF supplies for all State institutions
were agreed upon In . conference be-
tween State Purchasing Agent Charles
A. Osborne and heads OF the various
institutions in conference held In
the Senate chamber Under the law
passed at the late session Of the Leg
islature. creating the Office OF pur-
chasing agent and purchasing board.
it is suggested that heads OF schools.
asylums and other State institutions
may call upon the purchasing agent
to assist in the cooperative purchase
of supplies. but this is not made man
datory.
Believing that material economies
may be effected through cooperative
purchases, conference was called
for, and it was attended by repre-
sentatives from practically all the in
situations of the State. The meeting
was most harmonious. 1t was agreed
that, as far as possible. and practical,
all purchases would be made on the
cooperative basis, and in bulk. Ii
was the opinion OF those present that
thousands of dollars can be saved the
State through the system.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

CBy United States Public Health Service.)
Careless splitting spreads the disease
Sick persons should burn their spit.
Fresh air is as necessary to health
as pure and nourishing food.
People should not sleep in over
crowded rooms, nor with closed win
dows.
Homes and workshops must be clean
and thoroughly ventilated. Dirt and
impure air are the allies of tubercu-
losis.
Always cover your mouth and nose
with a handkerchief when you cough
or sneeze and insist on others doing
the same.
Though no one should ever sleep
with consumptiye. careful con-
sumptive is not dangerous TO those
with whom he lives and works.
Persons with colds or coughs of
long standing or persons who are los
ing in weight or strength should con-
suit doctor or go to dispensary or
clinic. 1t is dangerous to wait.
The large majority of people proba-
bly, have had tuberculosis in their sys-
TEN, but they do not become sick with
IT because they take good care of their
general health and strength.

Rains Play Havoc With Tobacco Crop.

Continued rains during the month
of August damaged the tobacco crop
OF Virginia at least so per cent. ac-
cording to statement issued from
the Office of the State Commissioner
Of Agriculture. Assistant Commits.
sioner Owen said that growers are
busy cutting the tobacco and getting
1t into shelter before it Is burned up
by the dry weather. Many farmers
have been cutting their tobacco be-
fore maturing during several weeks
past, in their efforts to save as much
as possible from what is known as

ure. Clear, hot weather following ex-
cessive moisture increases the dam
