Down In her heart the American
woman who loves fashions has been
longing for a change. She may rail
against this statement as she VIII.
But just the same, declares fashion
writer In the New York Times, she
is buying the new silhouette with the
greatest enthusiasm. All an interest
ed spectator need do is to walk along
the fashionable streets on any pleas
ant day to see the new silhouette in
all its glory.
There are so many new lines in this
silhouette that we will have to go into
the thing at some length before we
fully realize how interesting each one
of us can look. At first woman is
anxious when she faces an entire
change of her appearance. She won
ders IL she can ever adapt herself to
the readjustment which the new
clothes involve, but as she steps into
the character, little by little. she
finds herself charmed. A thrill en-
tiers her spirit at the prospect of find
ing new ways to be attractive.
In the shops there are many
dresses for the woman who refuses to
adopt the longer lines; another collec-
ton for the woman who has had only
temerity to go half way in the adop-
ton of the newer idea, and still an
other collection for the one who jumps
in joyfully and embraces a theory
which must needs become fact.
Now, there is this bit of advice for
the woman who is embarking upon
the business of acquiring a fall and
winter wardrobe. The more advanced
the model, provided 1t has all OF the
elements which make 1t becoming, the
longer 1t will last, with the power of
proving itself satisfaction through
the long seasons to follow. II wom-
an is too conservative, then she is
always coming to the place where a
dress, bought only two or three
months previously, looks little passe
and out of fashion. But If she had
purchased In the beginning with lit
tie more foresight, little more cour-
age and a little more desire to lead
instead of to follow, she would find
herself, at the end of three months,
still in the lead, instead Of far be-
hind. And at the end of six months
or possibly year she could have set
tied back comfortably with the assur-
ance that her gown was still just
right. That is one of the rules Of
good buying, but few women really
have the courage to stand on their
own and to demand of themselves that
they follow the rule to the letter.
The One-Plece Dresses.
There is still variety of straight,
one-piece dresses which will continue
in favor. This type of frock Is not
made so long as the fuller, fiouncier
ones. 1t is longer, of course, than
those which have been nearer the
knees than the ankles, but 1t does not

Turkish Quarter Of Smyrna.

Such Is Angora, In central Asia
Minor, where Mustapha Renal Pasha
set up 1.-THE Angora government" Of
Turkey.
The remote kinsmen of the Irish
who figure in the history of Angora
were 10000 Celts from central Europe
who, unable to push into Greece, de-
cided to try their luck across the Hell
lespont. After marrying the country
for half a century they were forced
to settle around Angora, then known
as Ancyra. Their country became
known as Galatia There ST. Paul Is
supposed to have founded a Christian
church, to the congregation Of which
he addressed his 'Epistle to the Ga
latians" In the Fourth century the
Celtic language was still to be heard
In Galatia, according to st. Jerome.
The Celtic invaders were always in
the minority and were finally abb
sorbed, as the Norman conquerors of
England were absorbed by the Saxons.
Many observers profess to see the ef-
fects of Celtic blood in the people Of

lighter in complexion than the people
of other parts Of the Near East, and
''the most genial of the Mohamme-
dams of Asia Minor
Ancyra dwindied to village under
Celtic rule, but following the annexa-
ton of Gialatia to the Roman empire
| In % b. G. and during the hundred
years In which it was maintained as
| the Roman frontier province, the city
| took on great Importance. One Of the
most famous Of the ruins of Asia MI
nor Is that Of a beautiful marble
| temple in Angora dedicated ito Rome
| and Augustus"
During the Byzantine period An
| cyra became even more important, its
| position between Constantlnople and
| Mesopotamia and Persia making II
the metropolis Of interior Asia Minor.
| The rising power of the Turks was
indicated by the fall of Ancyra into
their hands more than hundred
years before the fall of CONSTANT
nople. But Ancyra was captured short
| ly afterward by the Christian cru
saders during one of their farthest
! sorties inland and was held by them
| for eighteen years until 1860, when 1t
| again fell into Turkish hands.
A City of Mud and Marble.
Though marble reminders Of its an
cient glory are scattered about In the
Angora of today, it is predominantly
1 .ft 80 folr and
narrow streets. A mosque is built
against one of the marble walls of
the noble old Augustan temple. The
walls and gates Of the city are con-
structed of fragments Of demolished
Greek and Roman buildings, colon
nades and other structures
The city is 220 miles southeast Of
Constantinople. 1t has population
Of about 10000. 1t is perched on q
rocky plateau to the north of which
are fertile valleys and to the south
Of which stretch plains merging final
ly into a great desert. On these
southern plains are pastured large
herds Of sheep, and the goats with
long silky hair which have made the
name Angora familiar to western
ears. Large quantities Of wool and
mohair are exported.
Cats, and to less extent dogs and
other animals in the neighborhood Of
Angora, have unusually long silky
hair. 1t is believed that the climate
and perhaps the soil of the region are
responsible for this peculiar develop

TRADE AT, HOME"
!. CAMPAIGN TO START

A move will be made this week
toward the renledying Of the send
ing out Of Sumter county money
that could just as we'll buy Sum-
ter products. Nearly every house
hold in Sumter uses corn meal once
or oftener day, and there's a lot
of corn in Sumter county that could
be turned into meal. When YOU
walk into the grocery store, how
ever, and buy some meal you do
not get Sumter county meal; you
get meal that has been shipped in
from some of the more western
states. If you wish Sumter county
meal You have to engage it from
some of your country friends to be
brought in at future date, and
as this is good deal more trouble
than buying from the store, You or
der the meal over the phone, and
II time the money YOU pay the
store Tor it leaves Sumter county.
OF hams and other cured meats,
ditto.
A group Of the Young Mems
Business League has been studying
this subject and will go to work
on it this week. First they are to
canvass the grocerS 20 see which
of them Will handle Sumter county
products. putting up the same in
regular packages just as handy to
the buyers as are those from Off:
7, Sol, ~,
stock, and what quantities they
will be willing to order. Having
this data in hand the group will
then consult with the county dem
onStrator or some others we'll post
ed on the products OF the county
and Will find out who has for sale
the articles wanted. The next step
will then be getting the buyer and
the seller together SO that the ar
ticles can be transferred from the
farm to the shelves Of the grocery.
The public has a mighty import
art part TO play in this effort of
saving money; the part the public
has 10 play is to build up the SEN
timent for home goods. If YOU
call for Sumter county meal or
Sumter county hams. your grocer
will have them in stock. not the
first time maybe; if the call is from
enough people. and is insistent
enough. it certainly will be answer
ed If the buyers however do not
help. do not ask for the home
goods. or refuse to buy them af-
ter the grocer has put them in
stock. the effort is bound to fail.
In the long RI. it is UP to the
public.
