MANY CAPES WORN IN PARIS
French Styles Counted on to Hold
Sway Throughout Country for
Fall Wear.

Wise in the changed ways of the
world we no longer look every autumn
fer complete revolution in fashion,
such rs used to happen in the old days.
when every gown and suit in woln-
ans wardrobe might become unwear-
able almost over night, says Paris
writer in Vogue. Individual taste In
dress is allowed its way nowadays. In
a manner which was never dreamed Of
in our mothers philosophy. Neverthe-
less, as summer wanes, we look eagerly
for indications of coming modes in the
dress of women whose ideas as rule
influence the mode, and we attend
smart gatherings with our eyes wide
open for any indication Of future In
tentions on the part Of the great cou-
turfers.
What is worn in Paris during the
Grande Semaine still has its bearing
on what will be worn by the rest of the
world in the autumn. Some of the

Simple Effects Characterize the
Models Now Offered.
Little 0ne-Piece Gowns Of Soft Wool
or Silk Fabric Are Favored
by MiIady

Never were the costumes designed
for the afternoon of 1.-THE day" at home
so alluring in unusual artistry in sim
pie effects.
The modes for the afternoon, when
friends arrive to chat informal how dys
over cups filled with impromptu-
brewed beverage, are quite wonderful
in simple adjustment and decoration
that typify the best artistry. Many
Of the models presage a permanency
Of respect for comfort, good health
and beauty in the development of
modes.
The little gowns for the afternoon
at home are especially simple in the
portrayal of hostess good taste in
separating herself from any hint of
being Overdressed.
One model is combination Of skirt
and jacket. The skirt is of black tat
feta. quite plain. with exception of
an apron of the same fabric, at the
front, caught up in soft vatican folds
at the left side. and secured at the
hip line In one soft, long loop and
longer end of the same fabric.
The back Of the skirt is scantily
fulled. The jacket is Of white lace over
fine black net, and it hangs straight to
the hip line. The fronts form low V.
and attached to the edges and to the
sem;low neck. in the back, is a wide
Venice lace bertha. Powered on an al
most transparent background.
Little black beads glisten on the
definite and sweeping neck line. The
open front Of the vestee is filled
with six rows Of soft lilac taffeta rib

sleeves are elbow length, finished with
narrow Venice lace. This model Is
declared one Of the extremes in "dress-

THERE are some hats that the
l. seamstress, If she is at all ingeni-
GUS or observing, can undertake to
make for herself. They do not re-
quire any more talent or resourceful-
ness than the making of dresses,
bl0uses or any other Of the things
which so many women do for them
selves. There is considerable economy
in making hats at home, especially
when they are Of the popular en-
brOidered sort
There is saving also in buying, if
enc chooses shapes ready to trim and
then buys trimming which can be
put on at home.

are ready-covered shapes like them

we found only the name Of this once
beautiful and prosperous little town.
We found but one store with q small
stock Of goods and q postoffice. That
is all that remains Of what at one
time was one of the most prosperous
towns outside Of Aberdeen, a town
that in the olden days did fifty thou
sand dollars worth Of business each
year. In those days the merchants of
Quincy controlled all the trade from
Western Alabama, the farmers COM

their wives and daughters in the old

into Alabama. The public lanyard

Mr. V. B. lines, teams chairman.
presided at the luncheon. The hour
which the workers spent at the tables
was enlivened immensely by the sing
ing under the direction of Mr.. Waller
Maxim, of Birmingham, and Miss Clara
May Moore, of this city.

city to take a prominent part in the

ular Sunday afternoon feature par
lticipated in by thousands Of Birming-
ham people, under the direction of
Mrs. W. ]. Adams. The fame Of the
community sing in Columbus ten DAYS
ago has reached the Alabama metrop-
oils, and Mr.. Maxim came over to learn
something about it. Being also an
active and interested member of the
Birmingham Chamber Of Commerce,
Mr.. Maxim very readily consented to
act as the song leader for the Chamber
luncheons in this city on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Miss Moore, when appealed to in
behalf of the drive, was equally glad
to give her services at the piano.
Their efforts were instantly and en-
phatically successful, for they found
that the men of Columbus can sing
very well indeed. fl
Before calling for the reports of
the team captains, Chairman lines
asked some of the men to tell of their.
experiences. These were summed up
in the statement Of one Of the cap
tains that for the most part every

Mr. r. D. Wood and his brother Mr.
Joseph Wood; the Carriers; the Cren-
shaws; the Bakers All Of these old
settlers have long since passed over
the river to rest under the shade Of the
trees, for which their very amiable
lives here were a fitting preparation.
All those who We're young in the days
of Colonel B. NJ. Terrell and his highly
esteemed son, the Honorable Harry
Terrell, at present a, highly-respeeted
citizen of West Point, fondly remem-
Der those happy days, before the sad
changes wrought by death had broken
up that joyous household-once the
center Of all that was bright and hos
pitable in the social life Of the COM
munity. Colonel Terrell was a gen
tleman Of great culture and refine
ment, and a most genial and delight
full host. His wife was lovely ex-
ample of noble Southern womanhood,
and they had charming family of
accomplished sons and daughters. No
family ever enjoyed the ease, refine
ment and luxury that wealth brings in
more liberal and generous fashion.
All this belongs to the past now. The
old homestead has fallen into other
hands; the older people sleep in their
quiet graves, and their descendants
are scattered. The splendid old days
are like a dream in the night, scarcely
to be remembered in the stern realities
of the present day. We must not fail
to pention the name of our friend,
thd@late William Hamilton, who for al
number Of years was closely identified
with the business interests as well as
the social affairs Of Quincy in the
early history of this section. He later
moved to Caledonia, where he was
master of the Boy Scouts until the |
time Of his departure for the better
