this condition of things is repeated

How can we remedy these condi-

1t has always been source Of won

men have gone into the tobacco buy
ing business in the past thirty years.
They readily become expert cotton
buyers and why they don't combine
the two l can't understand. They
supplement each other and make
year-round business. 1t is just as easy
and more convenient for the farmer to
drive his wagon laods of cotton on
the street in front of the tobacco
warehouse as it is to drive up Main
street, crowded as it usually is with
passing automobiles, wagons and mo-
tor trucks. The warehouses are
usually near and convenient to the
freight stations, and when the cot
ton is sampled and sold to buycrst is
easily delivered and weighed at the
depot. Both cotton and tobacco arc
paid for by chech on bank. The
Tnung men who come from North

buy our tobacco are usually a splen-

One OF the best of these is of mid

which are frequently shown in the
movement of the drapery are of blue

In millinery there is some diminu-

Don'ts for the Stout Woman.

DoN'T be inveigled into wearing the
short skirt. On the other hand.
don't think that by wearing your
skirt excessively long you produce
suffcient length Of line to make up
for the lack of smartness that the
very long skirt usually possesses. The
very long skirt must be scant to be
smart and the stout woman should
avoid scantness as much as too great
brevity. For the street skirt the skirt
should be of ankle length with
enough width SO that it will not ride
up when you are seated. For the
afternoon or evening frock it may be
longer
Don't select snake-like fabrics for
your evening frock. as so many stout
women do. These shimmering. form
hugging fabrics do certainly make a
slender woman look slenderer, but
they only accentuate the rotundity of
the stout woman's figure. Your best
selection is some soft, clinging ma
terial. such as one of the crepe silks
Prefer a fabric with dull finish, as
satins and knitted-silk fabrics pro-
duce high lights that draw attention
to the size.
Certain light brown shades, such as
beige. toast and the new blonde, are
fashionable, but they are not for you.
To be sure, stripes accentuate tt '
length Of line. but a striking stripe
is a poor selection simply because 1t
calls attention to your figure. A ma
terial showing an inconspicuous hg-
ure that runs up and down Is a good
selection. There are some hair-striped
materials that are an excellent selec-
ton for suits or one-piece street
frocks.
Don't wear high heels IL you are
very heavy You can't help but look
uncomfortable. The high heel tends
to pitch the figure forward, increas-
ing the apparent size of the bust and
the figure below the waist at the
back. AS much as possible the heavy
woman should strive to produce a
straight figure and this she cannot do
when wearing high heels.
Beware Of the choker collar. Some
stout women seem to think that It
makes the neck look longer. but this
Is not always the case. A bare neck
Is usually the stout woman's best
selection.

fashion the tight line across the fig
ure above the waist. Nothing is loose,
nor does it sag under the arms. The
material is pulled around the upper
part of the figure until It gives the
appearance Of a bound mummy.
One sees this effect on most OF the
new evening gowns, and, by the way
there Is a notable absence OF gor-
geous evening clothes made of bro
cades and colored satins. Whatever
