? FASHIONS
? By Lillian Meriwether *

The wizard of fashion has turned
out new fabrics, new colore and new
models for coats, giving triple meas
ure of interest to the woman buyer.
As rite outer wrap is of paramount
importance in autumn fashions, she
should select her coat now while the
styles are new, varied and worth see
ing. They are lovable things! The
casual lines of yesteryear are gone,
and in their place are tip-tilted
flounces and swathed effects that re
quire practiced wrappings before
one's mirror.
This is indeed a season of coats.
There are special fabrics for coats for
daytime, afternoon, evening and
sports. There are special furs which
should be worn at the different per
iods of the day. Fashion has so de
creed that each occasion demands a
coat all its own, different in line, in
fabric, in fur, in personality!
Informal Coats
For day wear there is the informal
long wrap-around straight line coat.
A modified dolman sleeve is featured,
cut away at the hip line and with ex
treme left side closing. It is of strip
ed and plaid camel's hair cloth, brush
ed faced nubbed cloths and in both
imported and domestic fabric novel
ties.
Dross Coats
Coats for dress or formal wear
keep closely to long straight lines,
eleverly preserving the slender sil
houtte within narrow bounds; af
fords a smartly decorative note and
still preserves its simplicity. The
flare sometimes is of fur, embroider
ed metal cloth or tailored set-on
tucks. Many dressy coats are differ
entiated by trimraed-on-one-side ef
fects and fur is used in every imagi
nable manner, on collars, cuffs, and as
bands and borders.
For the woman in general who can
buy but one coat, there is a wide var
iety from which to choose. They are
made of the most velvety fabrics, rich
and lustrious, and developed into the
smartest tailored effects, or are com
bined with the most generous use of
fur. The styles are varied to meet
every preference. There are the slim
silhouettes fastening to the side with
a button or a tie sash, flat at the
back and front; some with slight ful
nes at the side. Or the belted styles,
more loose line, better adapted to a
Urge figure. There is the tube con
tour, with its various modifications,
such as the godet insert, the circular
flounce and the flare.
The coats are in black, brown, grey
and blue made of fabrics including
luxona, gerona, fashions, marvella,
formosa, lustrosa, oriona, and numer
ous others. Some of the fur trim
mings are beaver, fox, wolf, squirrel,
caracul, lynx and mole.
Far Coat*
In the fall length fur coats will be
found flares and panels presented in
many charming ways, always preserv
ing the atraight-line effect, but vary
ing slightly to admit some striking
interpretations. The short fur coat
is a practical favorite, and the short
coat can be bought of imitation fur
or of brushed wool in the newest col
ors and are as swanky as one could
wish.
Miue*' Coats
The Misses' coats are every whit
as ricli as their elders' yet with subtle
differences that acknowledge the de
butante's claim to lighter graces. Of
course the slender-as-a-willow sil
houtte prevails, unlets it be broken
by tier upon tior, the ripple of a
flounce, or the circular flare. And the
furs?these are laid upon the new
fabrics with no sparing hand. One of
the newest of fashions is the cape
back or capette, swinging youthfully
from the shoulders or merging with
the sleeves.
in the less expensive coats will be
found the typical college girl styles,
becoming for school or business wear
in tha wool mixtures in stripes or
bold plaida cut with set-in or raglan
sleeves, and topped with collars of
imitation fur.
Top Coat
For wear in the motor or in town
during stormy weather, every ade
quate wardrobe has at least one top
coat It is usually of rough home
spun weave of heavy threads in a big
plaid of tan and dark blue, the plaid
outlined with fussy threads, woven in
with the hard twisted homespun. They
are warmly collared with fur, and not
too heavy to wear when walking, such
eoata are a great comfort to the ac
tive woman.

IN MEMORY OF A LOVING FRIEND
The sweetest type of Heaven is
home. Here is the heart's garden,
full of sunshine and flowers. There
is music in the very word "home."
To the old It brings a bewitching
strain from the harp of memory; to
the middle-aged it brings up happy
thoughts; while to the young it is a
reminder of all that is near and dear
to them.
From such a home the spirit of
Mrs. Bettie W. Barker was wafted
away by the Angel of Death, leaving
behind those who loved her with
hearts of devotion. She had been in
bad health for some time and almost
an invalid since last March and her
death was not unexpected and at;
7:30, p. m., September 24, 1023 as|
suddenly as a child falls asleep, she,
fell in the arms of Jesus and breathed;
her life out there.
Oh! Beautiful rest I Who could wish
her back, to a life of discouragement
because of no hope of reganing
health.
Devotion to her family and loyalty
to her church will freight her mom
ory with lasting affection and apprec
iation. Best of all the fragrance of
her life has been wafted on high. She
was a true and humble follower of
her blessed Savior and a devoted wife
and mother.
Mrs. Barker joined the M. E.
Church when quite young and was
ever a consistent member until death.
As a wife, as a mother and as a christ
ian, her life was an example worthy
of all emulation. As a wife, she was
always companionable, sympathetic,
industrious and in the highest sense
a helpmeet to her husband, the Rev.
J: J. Barker. He knew he could de
pend on her to assist him in any
phase of church work and at her
home a hearty welcome always greet
ed any preacher, upon whom she de
lighted to lavish her hospitality.
At the time of her death she was a
member of Ahoskie M. E. Church and
had been president of the Missionary
Society and at her death was presi
dent of the mission study class to
which she devoted so much of her
time. ?
Fitting and proper indeed was in
that her spirit should be wafted above
in tranquil quiet and glow of a Sab
bath sunset amid the prayers and
tears of her devoted husband and
children, to dwell where Sabbaths
have no end. Her spirit has taken its
flight.
The shades of the tomb have de
nied us the heartening visions of her
cheerful face. The vacant chair by
the fireside remains as a mute re
minder of the voice that is still. The
church must rally in its efforts to fill
the breach made in its ranks by her
departure.
am in me mgnesc ana truest sense
she is not dead. The memory of her
good deeds linger still in oar minds
and her welcome christian influence
has projected itself through all com
ing time. We so often ask ourself
why so many of our loved ones slip
away from earth leaving a place nev
er to be filled, but when we realize
that their going away is so precious to
our Savior, then we know why it is
that Heaven is so fast filling up with
the choice spirits of earth.
Mrs. Barker was a graduate of
Littleton College, and many of her
school mates will read of her going
with tear be-dimmed eyes. The
frindships formed there were cement
ed with the passing years.
She was a friend to the needy and a
mother to the motherless, so many
children she's given homes until a
home could be provided for them.
Her efforts to bless, comfort and
cheer did not end.in her own home
but she was a blessing to the com
munity in which she lived.
She was never happier than when
engaged in some service for her Maa
tr. The wisdom and ability with
which she aided the missionary so
ciety will always be held in loving re
membrance.
Mrs. Barker was married in 1890
to Rev. J. J. Barker and he with six
children survive her, the youngest a
girl of thirteen years who will miss
so keenly a devoted mother's over
sight and counsel.
To all the bereaved, this sweet
promise is balm to the wounded
hearts. "The Lord is nigh to them
that are of a broken heart Lean
hard on His everlasting arm."
On Tuesday, September 25th at
3:30 p. m., her funeral services were
conducted at the M. E. Church by her
pastor, Rev. S. T. Barber assisted by
Rev. M. F. Hodges of Aulander, and
Rev. E. J. Isenhower of the Baptist
Church in a beautiful and impressive
manner. Among a large concourse
of sorrowing relatives and friends,
after which her body was taken to the
cemetery and laid to rest to await the
ressurection morn. The floral trib
utes were many and beautiful.
"Jesus made her dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
' While on His breast she leaned her
head
And breathed her life out sweetly
there."

r"Who's Behind It?" I
Any busings is merely the reflection of the men behind it ||
In the banking business this is especially true. If a bank's
| officers and directors are among the leading men in their H
community; if their honor and integrity are unimpeachable;
if their business ability is widely known and respected then
? you can safely call the bank they represent "a good bank".
H In searching for the reasons for the steady growth of the
