are tucked with gloves to match.
It's tucks that impart unmistakable
chic to the jacketed costume to the
left in the picture. This charming
ensemble is made of tissue wool in
an enhancing lime green shade,
with horizontal tucking down the
front of the jacket. The dress, with
fitted waist, has a 16-gored skirt.
The Roman striped sailor worn with
it and the handbag to match are
stunning.
Polka dots are staging a big re-
vival. See the coat ensemble CEN
tered in the group. Here you have
the new navy and white craze in
terpreted at it's most charming.
Also this costume is typical of the
new PTint-with-plain vogue that is
of tremendous importance. In this
instance as is true of the majority
of the print-plus-plain fashions, the
coat is lined with the print matched
to the dress.
The suit on the seated figure en-
phaSizeS the use of checked wool,
for checks are as important as they
ever were and more so. A senti-
mental touch is the heart-shaped
bag, which goes to show that I'M
usual handbags are exceedingly
chic this season, and when in gay
stripes as is this one style is null
tiplied. Observe that mademoiselle
is wearing a sailor hat with her
striped tailleur, for there is nothing
smarter for this spring than pert
sailor. Note the feather. Whimsi-
cal feather novelties are very much
in evidence this season.
Speaking of hats, see the pretty
flower-trimmed toque above to the
right. The millinery picture is gay
with flowers this spring. You'll
adore the new flower hats. Most of
them are fiirtatiously yelled which
but adds to their piquancy and
charm.

Jeweled Fantasies
Deck Spring Toys

Spring fashions call for jeweled
fantasies to adorn your lapel. Try
a pair of knitting needles with a
diamond set in the end of each to
flash when you do your knit-two-
purl-two (for sunstruck resorts
where everyone knits in the gar
den, and big dinner parties where
everyone knits after demitasse).
A lowered clip is always nice
spray of white and yellow roses
set in gold coils so they quiver, to
go with a tailored suit you like SO
well.

Evening Ensembles
In Spring Wardrobe

Unlined full-length wool evening
coats worn with pastel chiffon eve

coat the stronger in tone.

The gypsy influence is going
strong this season throughout fash

in this stunning spectator sports hat.
The Breton sailor of rough white
straw is tied on with scarf of hand

getting along swell. We have been
in this place year and plan to
be married in February. Now his
old girl friend has come upon us
and is trying to break us up.
Should l just leave or is it better
for me to remain on here?
Ans: Stick to your present To-
cation. This other girl doesn't
mean one thing to this sweetheart
of yours. He in fact is worrying
more about her being near you,
than you are. Go on with your
plans concerning marriage, for she
won't be successful in breaking
you up.
G. W.: Please tell me if there is
anything wrong with the coat that
was given to me and should I fear
wearing it?
Ans: There is absolutely moth
ing wrong with the coat of
course you must dig it out and get
the benefit of it during this cold
weather. No one in this world
wants to harm you, so stop this
foolish worry about the coat.
B. j.: Hard luck has been drag
ging me for long time. I can't
seem to get a good job so that 1
can dress we'll and mingle amongst
the chicks that 1 would like to
know. Is there a change for me?
Ans: The early summer months
of this year will find you in a bet
ter financial state than you are
right now. Keep your eyes open
for better job and do some study
ing at night. AS members of your
family get older, they can pitch in
and help with the support of your
mother and the younger ones, but
in the meantime do your bit. The
right girl will come along in a year
or so and you will be about the
happiest man on earth.
M. M. T.: l want to give up the
whole thing that 1 am doing now
and return to school and take up
sewing. Please tell me if it would
be worth my while to make
change of this kind?
Ans: A course in sewing would
prove quite helpful to you. 1t would
be to your advantage to return to
school and take the course. An
other thing don't give up the
man that you have been going with
he loves you and if you play
your cards right, you may be able
to win him.

MY NEW 1910 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY


M. C.-Should 1 give up what l
have here and leave for this new
man friend that have met?
Ans: Under no circumstance
should you leave and go to a MAR
RIED MAN. Yes, he is married.
You are doing quite well where
you are located and have managed
to save some money, and you would
be making a terrible mistake to
give up and be fooled by a man
who already has a wife.
R. A. R.: l am interested in a
certain girl and l really do love
her but here of late she won't give
me a chance with her. Tell me
what it takes to get her?
Ans: You don't have what it
takes to get her back. She is lost
to you forever. Her heart now be-
longs to a new sugar daddy and
she is concentrating on a very
early spring marriage. Tough luck
-. next time don't be so independ-
ent with your best gal and you
won't be so apt to lose her.
A. M: Will we have any bet
ter luck this year than we did last {?
Seems like we are going backward.
l would like to make a change of
states and wonder if this is advis-
able?
Ans: Under the present circum-
stances, it seems to me that it
would be to your advantage to
make a change of states. The pO-
sitiOn that has been offered to you
seems to be sound and all right
and you certainly would have very
little to lose by moving. l urge
you to go through with this change.
W. C. B.: l would like to know
why l can't be happy like other
young men. 1 gamble and drink
and l know that l shouldn't but
can't seem to help it. What is best
for me to do please, Sir?
Ans: Son, you are lonesome and
that is why you take to drinking
and then to gambling. The best
thing for you to do is to find you
a "sweet mamma" and try to set
tie down and get married. Now,
don't mean to marry the first girl
you meet, but do try to make a
happy marriage. Go to church and
stay off the streets and you can
stop drinking and gambling.

COUNCIL TO HOLD
SYMPOSIUM
(By Correspondent

A symposium discussion on
Self-imposed Segregation at the
University of Minnesota will be the
subject at the next regular meet
ing of the Council of Negro Stu
dents, Monday, January %, at
1890. The meeting will be held
in room 104 of the Minnesota
Union.
There have been innumerable
heated discussions concerning the
tendency of Negro students to
segregate themselves in lunch
rooms, lounges, classes, ETC., and
the effects of such self-segregation.
The Council takes this oppor-
tunity to place the issue squarely
before the Negro student body.
Donald Brady, president of the
Council, will be in charge. Assist
ing in the discussion are Louis Ma
son, Orrington c. Hall, Walter
Robinson and John Brooks.
For a subsequent meeting a de-
bate has BEEN planned which has
for it's subject Resolved: ''that the
welfare of Negro students in insti-
tutions in which there is a pre-
dominance of white students can
best be preserved by self-imposed
segregation"
The Council hopes that the
salient points brought out in the
symposium and debate will help to
crystalline student opinion on the
subject and guide as we'll as modify
the conduct Of Negro students on
the campus.

Dollar Days

Progressive West jefferson merchants
forever keeping in mind the trend OF the
times and the needs of the public, are
sponsoring for the first time, toWn-wlde
Dollar Days, Friday, Saturday and Mon
day, June %, 20 and July l.
This trade promotion will offer to the
buying public throughout Ashe county and
the surrounding trade area, real oppor-
tunity to save dollars on new seasonable
summer merchandise which they need
right now, as we'll as other staple items
used the entire year.
If a man were to advertise that on GER
tain day, in specified place that he would
give away dollars, surely everyone who
could conveniently do so, would be there
at the appointed time.
Figuratively that is just what the mer-
chants of West Jefferson are going to do on
Dollar Days, Friday Saturday and Mon
day. Advertised in this issue are many of
the do1lar-saving items to be featured on
these big days. Benjamin Franklin once
said, "a penny saved is penny made. So
by offering the public real opportunity
to save many dollars on merchandise, our
merchants are making dollars for their
customers,
But the advertisements are merely an
index! to the many other values to be Of
fered on Dollar Days. To appreciate the
many bargains, the buying public is urged
to visit the stores In this case every GUS
toner will be readily convinced that West
Jefferson is the place to trade.
Throughout the entire year the mer-
chants here make every effort to supply
the needs of the customers, at reasonable
prices; for it is only through customer
satisfaction that business of any type
grows and succeeds. And for Dollar Days
the merchants have increased their eff
forts to offer you more than ever for your
dollar.
Shop in West Jefferson on Dollar Days.
Not only will you be convinced that Dollar
Days are really your days, but in trading
with our local merchants you are keeping
your dollars at home.

Hoover Assails
New Deal Policy
Willkie Believed to Be Gain
ing In Strength. Nominal
ton Still Uncertain.

At Philadelphia in the Conven-
ton hall Herbert Hoover spoke to
thousands of cheering Republic
cans Tuesday night urging them
to GUST the new deal and to keep
America at peace unless the
western hemisphere is attacked"
At the same time, the former
President told the vast throng
gathered in that huge and re-
sounding auditorium that fol-
America there was no such thing
as isolation" realistic
view of foreign problems dicta-
ted that all lawful assistance be
extended to the allies.
And, he cautioned against ex-
aggeration of ''our immediate
dangers.
A receipt of reports from sew
eral reliable quarters showed
that Joseph E. Pew, effective lea
der of the 72-vote Pennsylvania
delegation, was prepared tC
throw more than so of these bal
lots in Senator Robert A. Taft, OF
Ohio, on the second ballot. Pew
however, denied it and insisted
he was sticking with Gov. Ar
thur James, of Pennsylvania, ito
the bitter end".
Pew's announcement led those
who have kept close tab on the
situation to predict that while
Thomas E. Dewey, of New York
would lead on the first ballot, he
would be overtaken on the sec
ond by Senator Taft.
Where this situation would
leave Wendell ~Willkie and his al
most unheard of climb from dark
! horse status to a leading conten-
der within a few weeks, was I'M
certain.
