RESEMBLING OF
SUNDAY Shows
ACT IS URGED
Pastors Make Plea, New
Petition To Be Circulated
if Rejected Va
CONFERENCE is HELD
WITH COMMISSIONERS

Opponents of Sunday T.ovics
today were awaiting response
from the board of city commits
sioners to pleas made last night
by ministers of six Hendersonville
churches that the commissioners
reScind their action of Saturday
legalizing the opening of thoaters
on Sunday afternoons and at 0
p. m.
The pleas were made last night
at a special board meeting called
for the purpose and which was
described today by DIR. l.. T.
WildS, Presbyterian pastor and
chairman of the ministers gruop
as "a perfectly friendly gathering
in which the mayor and commits
Sioners were most courteous and
patient"
In addition to DR.. Wilds, min
listers attending were: Revs. X. +.
Wall. Gilbert X. Combs, Bert At
Gibson, Philip O'Mara and A. w.
Lippard. Officials present were !:
Mayor A. V. Edwards, City Clerk
X. X. Arledge, and Commissioners
L. X. Geiger. j. Harvey Ri&aan.
B. l.. Foster and DR.. w. d. Alfen.
Mr.. Geiger did not attend Satur-
days meeting, the other three
passing the Sunday ordinance
without having given. advance no
tice of their intention either TO
Mayor Edwards, Mr.. Geiger or
the public.
Mayor Edwards reiterated his
opposition to the action, and one
of the commissioners said the or
dinance was passed precipitously
in order to avoid diSSension at a
public hearing.
In their pleas to the board the
several ministers said they came
as the moral and religious lead
ers of the churches, "the main
stays of the community; that
opening of the, theatres on Sun
days will be a wedge by which
every known form of Sabbath vio-
lation will be sought; that tourists
who now come to Hendersonville
seeking it's moral and religious
influences will be deprived of
many such advantages; that many
of these people will go elsewhere,
and that a majority of the people
of the community do not waht
Sunday movies.
Reference was again made TO
the fact that the voters so ex-
pressed themselves in a public
referendum when the subject last
came up, and that the commits
sioners now in office agreed at
that time to abide by the express
ed will of the majority.
The ministers requested re-
ply to their pleas as soon as pos,
sible after the commissioners had
said they would take it under con-
sideration. 1t was indicated today
that if a resembling action is not
taken, a petition reflecting the
wishes of opponents OF sunday
movies will be circulated and
presented to the board

FOES Of new
DEAL POLICIES
Today's Address at Vir-
ginia Dare Ceremony
Is Political

MANTEO, Roanoke Is an d,
Aug. Is. - CUP - President
Roosevelt in an address here to-
day attacked opponents of his
New Deal program as seeking to
serve their own interests above
the general welfare of the Ameri-
can majority and charged "they
do not believe in democracy
do"
He listed the United States
Chamber of Commerce, the Liber-
ty League, and the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers as OPP
posed to his social and economic
aims.
"They seek to substitute their
own will for that of the majority,
for they would serve their own
interest above the general well
fare. They reject the principle
of the greater good for the great
er number, which is the corner
stone of democratic government.
"Thcy do not beiieve HI Dsnioc-
racy-I do. My anchor is demoe-
racy and more democracy, and,
my friends, am of the firm be-
lief that the nation by an over
whelming majority supports my
opposition to vesting supreme
power in the hands of any class"
The presidents speech was his
first public appearance since the
senate killed his supreme court
bill and the house sidetracked the
wages and hours measure. He
spoke at Old Port, Raleigh, with
in speaking distance of the wood
ed spot where Ellinor Dare gave
birth $50 years ago today to Vir-
ginia Dare, the first white child
born on the American continent.
In concluding his address he
said: 81 seek no change in the
form of American government.
Majority rule must be preserved
as a safeguard to both liberty and
civilization.

forced to relinquish the gain by a

Meantime, a tiny Chinese gun

Japanese increased their grip

Great Broadway Mansions, an

Japanese wanted the upper floors

TOR the fair sex nothing so strikes
the right note as beautiful lin
gerie. Seeing lovely "undies," and
coveting, is akin to that feeling one
has in garden of flowers, to add
another and yet another to ones
bouquet plucked from among ma
ture's loveliest. Just so does the
eternal feminine in us keep longing
for one more and one more of the
delectably colorful lace trimmed
silken nighties, slips, pantie sets,
negligees, cunning bed-jackets and
others such as designers are this
season placing before the enrap-
tured eyes of beauty-seeking wom-
ankind.
Even so, the esthetic viewpoint is
but half the story, for there is a
practical side to the question that
those skilled in the art of dress
keep ever in mind, namely. a cos
tune to be faShion-correct and of
comely appearance must build from
the foundation up. Wherefore. it is
as important to have a wardrobe
of lingerie as of outer apparel.
Which is why creators of modern
lingerie are devoting so much of
time and talent, thought and study
to the fashioning of under garments
that because of their perfection of
lines and subtle fit, act as ''frst-aid"
toward the charm and style-right-
ness of ones costume.
The nightgowns this season are
nothing if not glamorous. Rich fab
RIGS and colors, beautiful finishes
and elaborate lace trimmings mark
them with distinction. Mostly they
are satin, but you do see some of
crepe and silk ninon and georgette.
Slips, too, are rejecting the in
terest in the damtier garments
and gone are the utterly tailored
effects. They are carefully fitted
of course and even when they are

| SILKS FOR SPRING
STRESS HIGH COLOR

Edward Molyneux, style author
ity, predicts a riot of color for
spring. In monotones as in prints,
color is the WatchWord.
A wide range of blue tones is
being accented in spring silks.
Misty blues and strong purple
blues are new, and the middle tones
of blue also register. Purple is new
ly accented.
The capucine range is an impor-
tant one, highlighting glowing yell
low orange and pumpkin tones.
Henna and horSechestnut rank high,
with the former striking a new note
for evening. A hint of ashes-of-roses
overlays the copper range as it is
interpreted for resort and spring
1887. Brownish gold is another i'm
portant tone to watch.
Beige and other neutral tones are
expected to prove important, as a
contrast to the vivid color ranges.
The red range ranks high. Cherry
red, cerise, ashes-of-roses, mauve
pink and pale mauve red are lead
ing tones.
A wide range of green tones in
cludes bright yellow green. tur-
quoise green, reseda green and

changed again. Worries! And all
major worries! Walter and Molly!
Margaret Fairweather! And-my
thoughts always broke here and
melted into a kind of dim, troubled
confusion.
However, I was up and dressed
as soon as had finished my break
fast. When 1 came downstairs. 1
found Sylvia occupying herself with
Dorinda Belle on the piazza.
How does it happen that you're
not down at the Merry Mere?" l
demanded.
Nancy isn't coming over to-
day." Sylvia informed me. "And
1 thought I'd stay up here. I think
I'll make a new dress for Dorinda
Belle"
She was sitting on little foot
stool beside one of the Gloucester
hammocks. Beside her was her
little Work-basket.
Over the cushions lay bits of
dress material which I had given
her from time to time; patches Of
silk and chiffon; snippets of ribbon;
tags of lace. She was threading
an enormous darning-needle. l took
it that Dorinda Bellies sorry ward
robe-much the worse for play near
the WATERWAYS about to be replen-
iShed.
This child hasn't a thing to
wear!" Sylvia announced in the ac-
cents, family disgusted, family in
dignant, which 1 had heard so
many times from her mothers
mouth. "She is a perfick disgrace.
I'm ashamed of her. She's got to
have whole new wardrobe. She
doesn't take care Of her clothes at
all. She gets them dirty. She
spills her oatmeal all down the
front. She catches her clothes in
the blackberry vines. She's a per-
fickly terrible, terrible child some
times"
Energetic nodding and vehement
emphasis accompanied this dia-
tribe. Of course, like all mothers,

| Sylvia was enjoying the utter unre-
generation Of her offspring and of
course, like all children, she was
| quoting grown-up violences of ex-
preston. Indeed, when she had fin
ished, she looked up at me with a
sunny smile. Then she set her lips
again. "She ought to be sent to a
reform school,"
1 wondered where Sylvia had re-
ceived her education in regard to
reform schools and then 1 remem-
bered that that was a pet phrase
with Bessie III regard to naughty
! children.
But after ALL" 1 demonstrated,
''it seems to me, Sylvia, that Do
rinda Belle is a pretty good child.
She's very quiet about the house.
She treats your other dolls very
we'll"
Compunction apparently hit Syl-
via hard. She's a beautiful child"
she admitted remorsefully. She
picked Dorinda Belle up from the
| hammock. She was still kissing
the china face when Patrick drove
up to the door.
II left pretty suddenly yester-
day, Mary" he apologized, 'but
it gave me such a-what my old
grandmother used to Gala turn
to hear that story from Walter
and Molly"

withdrew to the living-room to get
away from Sylvia. It's haunted
me all night" I admitted.

we've got to admit that from some
points of view, Ace was a pretty
bad actor"

not elaborately lace-trimmed as so
many are, they still have details of
lace and net trimmings. of tiny
edgings of val lace to appeal to
the well-groomed lady.
There are all manner of negli-
gees and hostess gowns. The satin
ones, lavish with lace, are easily
the most popular this season. Bed
jackets of all shapes and types are
more fascinating than ever. Some
are made in cape design and tie

in the center inset is of allover
lace with wide satin border front
In a way this charming little cape

ing this season. Such, for instance,
is the bib to be worn over
night dresses. 1t is grand

valid. It's a frilly lace front piece
to slip on at a moments notice over
the ''nightie." The one pictured in
the upper inset is done in circular
ruffles of lace with ribbon ties
about the throat. 1t is said that
it is becoming quite fad to make
your own lingerie accessories.
Describing the lovely gowns pic
tured, the one to the left is of she'll
pink satin with deep appliqued yoke
of Alencon lace in the new light
ecru shade which is so good this
season. The lovely skirt edge. with
it's lace slit up the front, features
the new trend toward fine details.
Soft yellow is used for the in
teresting nightdress on the seated
figure with its diagonal neckline and
one-side shoulder strap. The lace
motifs applied are carried out also
in the matching slip and panties
which form the perfect ensemble.
