FORECASTS OF SPRING FASHIONS.
The Continuance of Short Sleeve Coat
Suits Spring Millinery.
The short-sighted mortal who
confidently predicted the downfall
of the elbow sleeve is "put to con
fusion," as all except the tailor-made
suits, have sleeves reaching just be
low the angle of the tlbow. In
fancy waists the sleeves are as short
as ever. Let us hope that long
gloves will be manufactured in
larger numbers and at pricee within
the means of all feminines. The
dearth of novelties in all depart
. meats of fashion is remarkable. In
suits the same general styles pre
vail the plaited skirt, the box coat,
a tight-fitting coat, the long coat
and the Eton, plaited, braided with
or without a vest, and in fact any
attractive fancy trimming is aJmis
eible.
SPUING MILI.IXEKY.
The sole difference yet apparent,
is, that hats will set more closely to
the head, and there will be less
elty. . Voiles follow in the footsteps
of wools, and of course some demand
for plain goods will exist, but they
will be in the minority.
NEW SILKS.
Those of American manufacture
claim first attention, and they also
set forth the beauties of plaids,
checks or stripes, often varied by
dots of auy size in groupings of the
latter design. An imitation of the
homespun weave appears in a second
American silk, which is peculiarly
acceptable from its shadowy surface
a relief from plaids or checks.
Black and white silks are as much
in favor as ever, and authorities
state that all black silk is in grow
ing demand, largely due to the
"jumper waist," usually of lace, and
requiring a contrast. Black, suf
ficiently lightened by lace und
touches of color is universally be
coming, and is less conspicuous
than colors.
BORDERED ROBES.
Robe patterns of all sorts, both
in bordered materials by the yard,
and in the regulation boxed patterns
if M
trimming under the brim. Last
season's popular shapes re-appear,
particularly the large flat trimmed
with flower wreaths and a touch of
black velvet ribbon. Flowers are
once more in the ascendancy, and
quills or plumage abound in high
grade millinery and to a still great
er extent on the "ready to wear"
hat. Crowns as a rule are somewhat
higher, and folds of velvet, leather
or colored silk passementerie around
crowns, lend a shade of novelty.
The Leghorn is very prominent aud
indications are that the closely woven
straws will again be in the mnjoiity.
DRESS MATERIALS.
Spring "suitings" comprise stripes,
checks or plaids in such varied
blendings that one is amazed at
human ingenuity. The two latter
afford greater 6ccpe for iudividua
t&ste than the former. The peculiar
shade of tan and gray woven together
which appears in some of the high
class wools imported by this well
known house, is an attractive nov
arc shown in endless variety at the
besr fhopj. Very effective ones of
batisie. embroidered and inset with
lace, are to be had at $10.00, and
from that up to any price the purse
will permit.
Tan is supposed to be the leading
color of the season, next gray, and
thirdly black and white. This as
sumption is not borne out however
by a ghuice at the color card of
leading houses. Plain voiles are in
many blight hues, and ribbons are
fairly blazing with color. Facings
in brilliant hues ure used in collars,
cuffs and front of checked orplaided
suits, aud plain, rough woven silks
come in green, crimson, blue,
"crushed strawberry," and of course
every Bhade of brown. Soutache
braid will be in gn.at favor this
Spring, and rather narrow ribbon
will tiim dresses of sheer material
in ladder form, squares, diamonds
or in straight around rows of varied
widths.

Eom CoKRIKB:
As one of the uiitny friends of the latr Mr.
MC, W. Blair, I should like to write a few
words about liim as 1 knew him
I had not seen liiui for a few vars, but
while I was growing up I met him oft- i
generally on lloli lay occasion am) the iil.. ,
kA lia imrM tn viwir Ills rarftntM. It weinR
to me that almost at my lirst recollection rl
him he was a railroad conductor. 1 bud the
opinion then that he was sober and ttinenre,
else he could not have held such a positim,.
An I remoinher him he treated me tende ly
aad thoughtfully and (teemed very uiucl.
interested in me as a child. I knew
B9thing of his habits of life, but had no n a
son for thinking them to be other than of the
bent. It has often been said that children
are the severest critics in t uman nattin. an I
suflice it to say, I found no fault in hiui.
About two voars ajjo it was my ortuno to
read a letter lie had writton to his tuVter,
Mrs. J. C lngold, of Asheboro, while ho lay
in a sanitarium of one of t'ie Southern ritiow
In the course of this letter he lipcame remi
niscent, and spoke f the fast llyitijr years;
he asked her if she hail thought about bow
Bwift.lv time was eoinc, ami remarked that
life would soon lie over, like a ale bin i
told or a llower that fades. Ilesp.ke o1 no v
he would rather be up aud about his duties
than lying there, barely subsiding on weuk
aoups nd milk. Yet, he said there was (J.ie
who knew best, ami he declared that he be
lieved that Friend would be with and care
for him to the end if he trusted in Him.
He also spoke touchincly of his brother,
Tom, who, also a railroad condnctor, had re
cently been killed in a wreck near Danville,
Va. His words in the letter were something
like this, "l'oor brother, 1 wonder what his
thoughts were as he was hurled through
spaoe. 1 wonder if he was prepared io
ment his God!"
1 think the lnte Mr. Blair was a man of
more than ordinary intelligence, and one
w!:o . herishod peace and harmony and good
will My position is one of profound syru
ps 'iy wiih tiie stricken mother and relatives.
Yours Tery sincerely,

CURING IMPROVESTOBACCO LIKE
STING IMPROVES GR
Flits Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Ftfund In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger
There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured ;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
.flues in nouses especially built to re
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee Is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands
of high grade, flue cufed tobaccos.
Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps ; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewcrs. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly
10 and 15 cent plugs.
