New York, Sept. 12.—The descent of the stupendous war cloud whicl lias enveloped Europe was so swift and all enveloping that every one was taken by surprise. Paris was full of buyers from all the great American retail and wholesale houses, complet ing their purchases for the winter. "Hie order , for them to leave within four days or to. be detained for an indefinite period was startling in the extreme, esp^ially as tranks would y.at be transported. It was a case of make or break with many of them and it immediately bccame a battle cf wits for no one desired to leave without their purchases, and interesting stor ies are told of the tenacity and ingen uity displayed. One enterprising New York dress maker from the regions of Fifth Ave nue, persuaded her party of four to discard all but the absolute necessi ties and carry some of her models in their hand grips. She also bought a number of very personal looking pieces of hand-luggage and filled them as . »•«]). Imagine their consternation when at the station the next morning at six o’clock there were 1000 pieces of baggage ahead of them and the officials refused to take any more. However, with a judicious tip here and there, they were at last checked; but instead of being put on the train for London, they were accidentally placed on th« train ior Liege. Mad^m sank back and fanned herself mail her reason returned to her and then she concluded that as they were plain ly marked London she would hope that they would get there, and they did. Some of these garments brought back with such difficulty have at last reached us, and a few, a very few, openings are the consequence. As long as the uncertainty of this conflict continues each importation may be the last for some time, and therefore is of double interest. A Sait SSewing ifie New Lines of Coat and Skirt for Fall and Winter Wear. The sc'nUllating effect of jet pail lettes and rheinstones are supreme in evening gowns and are used to trim time more staid garments for every day wear. For instance, a charming afternoon dress of black chiffon vel vet had a sash of jet wh'ch crosse** in front and tied low in tl-;' hack. The jet was so closely and be.iiitiiully ap plied that the sash seemed as supple as the velvet itself instead of being heavy and unwieldly as the jetted fabrics of other days. Another stunning costun'ie was made with a flaring lower skirt, as well as the body of the jacket, of this jetted material. The sleev es snd tunic were of velvet. The wide velvet collar had a band of fitch around it. Cloth of gold and silver are also used extensively. A wonderful gown of black satin had a tunic of cloth of gold and a wide satin girdle, or sash of black satin, swathed the waist the i ends being tied in a careless bow at the'back of the left hip. In the midst of which nestled a bright red rose. Another wonderful costume, in-part like an Egyptian dancing girl’s cos tume, the bodice like a coat of mail, had a plain but not tight-fitting waist of steel and gold, paillettes, reminding one of the wonderful old steel armors inlaid and embossed so beautifully in gold. The waist reached to the wid est point of the hips, where the Egyp tian effect of the costume commenced in a clinging . foundation skirt of white, over which hung, a tunic of gold lace. Strands of heavy glossy jet were looped from the waist and hung low, making the tunic swing and sway in a peculiarly Oriental m^ahner. Offsetting this Oriental note a queer narrow train, edged with a band of fur, was so arrange that in the event of dancing it could be easily caught up and mingled with the und^;- draperies in an unnoticeable manner. The smartly tailored suit illustrat ed is of dark green repp and shows the newest line of jacket and skirt. The standing velvet collar 6f the jack et is topped by the new high collar of the blouse, which is pi-aetically a straight piece of cloth with a straight frill around the top. On some of the more extreme waists this collar frill comes up about the face like a great white calla lily. 0 Senator Simmons Plans for State to Take Cotton. Washington, Sept. 9.—Senator Sim mons today suggested a plan for re lieving the cotton .situation. The plan provides for the purchase by each state of ons-fourth cf its cotton, pay ing for it with non-interest bearing bonds which shall be negotiable in ordinary credit transactions. The plan provides also for the curtail ment of next year's crops thus inscr- ing the ^'alue of cotton which the State has bought. In putting out the plan, Senator Simmons said it is mej-e- ly a suggestion to the various states. The plan in full is as follows: STATE ISSUE BONDS. “Let each cotton producing State buy one-fourth of the cotton produc ed in it during the year 1914 at ten cents per pound, strict middling, eight cents per pound to be advanced at the time of part^hase in non-interest bear ing bonds of the State in such con venient denominations that they may tirouiate in adjusting credit; said bonds to be redeemable by the State on or before January I, 1916, in capb or four per cent, bonds of the State at its option. “If when the State shall have pur chased one-fourth of the cotton of 1914, the price of middling cottan in the open market is below ten cents per pound the State shall continue its purchases on like terms until it has purchased thirty-five per cent cf the !914 production if the market price of cotton does not sooner reach ten cents per pound. “That no part of the cotton so purchased by the State shall be sold before November 1, 1915, for less than ten cents per pound on the basis of middling, nor before June 1, 1915, for less than eleven cents per pound. That when and as soon as the said cotton! i.« sold the State shali pay the vend ers from whom the same was purchas ed the two cenis per pound due there- on,’= -0~ All those at Armageddon insist that they are liattling for the Lord, but it stands to reason the Lord does n.>t believe them all. 0 The summer widowers, who have lieen so forlorn and lonely, are one by one appearing at their respective places of business wearing more cheer ful expres.sions. 0 What has become of George Fred Williams? 0 Making the Germans take water in Belgium borders closely upon atroc ity. O Don’t talk to a woman. All she expects you to do is to sit still and listen. 0 Gold for the tourists, advice for *tbe farmers. Farmen cf Wilsou Will Hold Cott>in. Wilson, Sept. 15.—In response to the c*|l by Governor Craig and Hon, H. Q. Alexander to the farmers in the “Old North State” to get together and hoid their cotton, there was a meet ing held here in the court house this morning composed of representative planters of the county. A resolution was offered endorsing the “Trust Company” plan enabling the farmer to borrow money on his cotton and It was agreed that ten cents per poand would be the minimum price that would be received for the staple. A “Crop Committee,” as suggested at the meeting held in Raleigh last week, was appointed, composed of the following gentlemen: P. L. Woodard, F. L. Carr and S. H. Dixon, wliose duty it will be to urge a reduction in the acreage of cotton and t0bac„'0 next year. The “Buy a Bale” plan was heart ily endorsed by those present and all those who are able expressed their! intention to do so. 1 It was suggested that if any farm- j er in the county who should learn of i a neighbor who seemed to be compeil-1 ed to sell, to Jepori. the matter to the committee and they would find ways to relieve his straighened circum- sances. The plans have been made and ac cepted for a cotton storage warehouse for Wilson, the contract let and prep arations are now in progress for its early completion—and with tobacco bringing top-notch prices there is no need for farmers to sell their cotton at the prices now offered. 0~ While realty value here are not es pecially depressed on account of the war, or on any account, there is no denying that a dollar will buy a lot in Greensboro next Saturday.
