Duchesses Of Windsor And
Kent, Best Dressed Women

own way, is practically perfectly
dressed.
In analysing their tastes, lead
ing dressmakers said that Marina
has better choice in hats and
tailored clothes but that the
Duchess Of Windsor has better
taste in afternoon reception
clothes and far better taste in
evening and dinner gowns.
Inclusion of Mrs. Doris Duke
Cromwell in the list followed her
selection of a wardrobe for her
new duties as wife of the United
States minister to Canada.
She acquired a compact but ex-
ceedingly smart Paris wardrobe
which was flown to her by Clip
per.
Although she does not buy
clothes in Paris and although
French dressmakers do not like
the effect of some of her formal
clothes, Queen Elizabeth won
tenth place in the new list.

himself with unusual patience.

me before my own men and my
friends. I hate you!"
Her voice choked a little. The
warm look came back to his eyes
as he looked down at her stand
ing by Mats old desk, so small
and lovely, so bitterly angry at
him.
I'm sorry" he said quietly.
"Not about Lawler. That had to

things off the wrong way. came
up to- tell you about it, but I
don't believe you want to hear
it now, Good-bye-Virginia."
He went out without further
ado. Virginia sat there for some
minutes longer, FLUSHED and
stormy. She was still angry, but
there was a hurt in it.
How could he, and why had
she said what she did?
The most exasperating thing
of all was her enormous relief
that Lawler was gone.

PARASITIC rival Duchesses
of Windsor and Kent this week
wrested the title of worlds best
dressed woman from Madame
Antenor Patino, the ''Tin Prin-
cess whose husband is heir to
one of the worlds biggest fortunes,
a poll of Partisan dressmakers
showed.
The Duchesses, always near the
top in fashion rankings, tied for
first place in the United Press
annual poll and the ''Tin Prin-
cess" dropped back to third place.
A new challenger, Mrs. Doris
Duke Cromwell, the richest girl
in the world" appeared in the
list in fourth place and, for the
first time, Queen Elizabeth broke
into the select list of the worlds
most exquisitely CARRIED women.
The war has failed to dim fem
mime enthusiasm for pretty dress
es or to affect good taste and the
French dressmakers polled in the
annual championship of style
concluded that, war or no war,
women are better dressed today
than at any time, since Cleopa-
ira charmed Anthony.
But the competition is keener
and with the prices of jewels,
furs and gowns rising. steadily
since the start of the war, the
number of competitors for the
1910 title of best dressed woman
was considerably narrowed down.
The 10 best dressed women in
today's list, it is estimated con-
servatively, had dress budgets
last year exceeding $1,O00,000.
The rankings decided upon in
the 1910 poll are:
1-2-The Duchesses of Wind
sor and Kent.
3-Madame Antenor Patino.
Mrs. Doris Duke Cromwell
5-The Begun Aga Khan.
6-Mrs. Gilbert Miller.
7-Baronne Eugene de Roths-
child.
8-Mrs. Harrison Williams.
9-Barbara Hutton HaugWitz
Reventlow.
1O-Queen Elizabeth.
The war, putting many women
not uniform, caused Lady Elsie
de Wolfe Mendl and the Marquise
de Paris to disappear from the
list this year but a uniform didn't
prevent the Duchess of Windsor
from being among the worlds
fashion leaders,
The Duchess of Windsor's war
service uniform is particularly
smart and becomes her greatly
especially her overseas cap which
goes excellently with her strict
hair-do.
The Paris dressmakers said that
the duchess stood at the top OF
the list because, when her days
war work is done, she becomes
alluringly feminine and puts on
a dinner gown from collection
which is judged to be the smart
est wardrobe any woman in the
world ever has picked.
The Duchess of Kent rose tC

CHAPTER VIII
Synopsis

Lee HOLSTER, returning unex-
pectedly from a trip abroad to
the Circle v ranch, his home
from childhood, is troubled by
signs OF neglect. Joey, an old
proSpectOr friend of Matt Bair,
Lees foster father and owner of
the ranch, tells Lee that Matt has
killed himself, probably discour-
aged by hard times. The ranch is
going to ruin and Virginia, Mats
daughter, is visiting the Archers,
her uncle and aunt in New York.
But uncle wants her to sell the
place to Milton Bradish, old asso-
ciate Of Mats. Lee persuades
Virginia to return to the ranch.
Mrs. Archer follows her, accom-
panied by Stanley, son Of Milton
:RradiSh. Stanley thinks he may
be able to diScredit Lee i'm Vir-
ginia's eyes, and encourages 10

Lee.

She would leave a note saying
that she wanted to see him about
oh, about the time for driving
the cattle into the valley range.
She wrote swiftly and looked
about, for place to put it and
stopped short.
Her eye had been caught by
a bright red bit of color on the
floor behind the half opened door.
She went over and picked it up,
and her nose wrinkled fastidious-
ly as the odor of cheap perfume
came to her. It was a woman's
scarf, defiantly gay and frankly
soiled. 1t had evidently been hung
on the back of the door, in full
and Haunting view when the door
was closed, but discreetly hidden
when it stood open.
So that was all that his kisses
meant. From her-to this!
The impulsive note lay on the
table where she had left it. Vlr-
ginia tore it up slowly, but by bit
and went out into clear fresh air
again clutching the fragments in
her hand.
When she had gone Josefa, who
had come here day after day to
watch for a vanished Lee, crept
out from her hiding place behind
a rock and shook a passionate fist
after the vanishing figure.

Tobacco Sales
Monday One
Of Largest

Sales Monday on the Henderson
tobacco market were Scond highest
for any day of the season, and
amounted to 670,994 pounds, which
brought $ll6,371.13. The average was
Sl7.64, or a trifle under that for the
past several sales days. The quality
of the offerings was understood to
be considerably below that which
has prevailed lately.
The only other sales day this sea-
son that exceeded Mondays figure
vas 7l4.274 pounds, disposed of on
Monday, October 7, three weeks ago.
The average price that day was
S24.06 and S17l,9G7. go was paid for
the sale.
Sales continued rather large today,
but with prospects of clearing up by
mid-afternoon. Smith H. Young,
sales supervisor, estimated 100000
pounds on sale today.
Mondays operations ran the sea-
son total above the 10000, 000-pound
figure, and some market men think
six and some eight million pounds
more will be sold before the end Of
the season. Right now there is an
apparently general belief that season
sales will end with Christmas and
that the market will close at that
time. Only once before in recent
years has the season ended at Christ
mas, and that was because of the
short crop, which this year is also
much below what it was last season.

For County
Colored Youth From

Had l58, First Num-
ber Drawn in Wash

{ Continue at Capital.

Few men registered with the
Vance county draft board had num-
bcrs in the early list drawn in the
lottery begun in Washington today
at noon under the selectiVe service
act. recording TO reports from the
drawing. The first number from the
glass bowl in Washington, drawn by
Secretary OF War Henry l.. StimSOn,
wa 1873, and that was assigned in
This county To Billie Durham, color
cd Youth, of Route |, Middlcburg.
The second number drawn from
the capsules in the capital was 1872,
and that had been assigned in Vance
county to Willis Henry Nunnally,
white man Of Route !, Henderson.
Following these were large num-
Der of designations too high to apply
to registrations in this county, all
being above the maximum number,
3.2t4, held in Vance. Further on
down the list, however, the number
les was pulled from the glass bowl,
and thi" Is held in this county bv
LCola Dale Falkner, white man of
Henderson, Route !.
Drawings continued in Washington
well ON INTO the afternoon. and it was
expected the job would be complct-
cd around midnight. During the
drawing there will be numbers APP
plying to every registered man in
this county and in the lists of every
draft board in the whole country.
Calls into the service will begin
with the first numbers, and defer
red status will be accorded where
asked by individual action of the
draft board. Men affected will re-
spuud in the order in which thcir
numbers, whatever they may be, are
pulled out of the bowl. For instance,
in this county, as we'll as everywhere
else. the No. 1873 is the No. l in the
order Of call.
Many listened to the radio account
Of tho drawing in Washington, but
identity of the mon affected could be
only by reference to the
lists made up by the draft board, en-
ccpt. OF course, that each individual
recognized his own number when he
heard it. if he did.
There was widespread interest here
in the drawing, as there was every
where throughout the country.
Just when the first men will be
called to report has not been learn
ed, but the initial contingent is gen.
orally expected to be summoned
