PRETTY AUTUMN COSTUMES
“iSlw YbrV., Sept. 19.—bi'dlt~ever
occur to you that there is such a thing
es clothes sense? Some wcmen aud
men possess it and others lack it de-
plor«bIj’.. To some an unharmonious
combination o£ style, color or lack of
beconuEgness and saitabilty necessary
in the saccessful gown is a painful as
a discord in music.
Fortunate is the woman if she re
alizes that she lacks this gift, for
thettj if she desires, she can by a
little' careful study acquire some
sense of clothes. Remember that the
first essential is to wear clothes which
accord with your mode of living. Be
'careful to have your costume com
plete; for instance, do not wear heavy
shoes with an evening gown, or slip
pers with a tailored suit. The same
thing may be said of hats. Tailored
hats are for tailored costumes and
more dressy hats for the more elab
orate gowns and social occasions.
The combination of cheap and ex
pensive materials is a gross rriistake
unless an unusual color combination
or other effect is olitained, and usu
ally such an effect can only be at
tained, by an artist. A most import
ant thing: to remember is not to buy
a dress because it pleases your fancy,
but because you know it will accentu
ate all of your good points. To many
this category of don’ts will seem so
elementary that they are hardly to be
taken seriously, but unfortunately
they are but few who actually put
thest rules into pfactice.
The style this season »re shown in
such variety that there are clothes
for the fat, the thin and the negative
woman.
Velvet and other pile fabrics, and
the- imitation fur-c!oths, such as m'>le.
Persian Lamb, civet and leopard, are
used extensively for gowns, suits ■and
wraps, as well as for the trimming
of gowns.

A suit of black velvet has a jacket
with long ends, which tie at the back
beneath a cape-iike back. The cap«
is edged with a four-inch band of

One-toned costumes are very smart,
Suits of gray, green, brown or blue
have bloa.ses to match of satin,. or

colored corduroy had its jacket semi
fitted and flaring at the bottom. The
skirt had an upper and lower tunic,
both very wide and rippling in effect.
The blouse was of e.xactly matching
chiffon, which was made with a U-
shapcd yoke about the size and shape
of a man’s shirt front, which was fill
ed with narrow rufSes of the chiffon

Braiding and beading are used ex-

effective but simple designs.

this costume.

Carrifd lo AshesiBe for Safe-Keep

.Ashevilie, Sept. 17~Dave Allison
and DeSly Parker, two Transylvania
County young men, have been brought
to this city for safekeeping follow
ing the death of J. W. Claytun, a weU-
known farmer who lived near Bre
vard. The young men declare that
they know nothing of the manner in
which the deceased met death, al
though officers who brought them io
Asheviiie st&Led that witnftsses have
said that thty were the last persons
-wen with the deceased.
Feeling is reported to be bitter
against them in the section in which
Mr. Clayton met death and the Tran
sylvania officer tonight thought it wisa
to bring both young men to this city,
where they are safe behind the walls
of the Buncombe County prison.

district one Congressman and the

The congressional delegation re

it has any, is to place and keep in.
power the party whose principles
these Progressives have always op
posed and still profess to oppose.
To act as Assistant to the Demo-
crats with no prospMt or hope of gain
ing anything for themselves is so
unsatisfactory that Progressives giir-
erally liave grown tisfed of it and are
returning to their old party. It is an
ignoble part to play and is respon
sible for all the experimental and un
wise legislation that a Democratic
Congress and Administration hav-j
placed upon the country. If Progress
ives are pleased with the result then
they are Democrats- at heart, and
should join that party openly. If
they are not pleased then they are
following a coarse clearly to their
own hurt and disadvantage.
Persistence in this supreme folly
is more than most voters will consent

portions, though in some localities
as in Maine, it may still be able to

Soissons Save^ by Woman.
Paris, Sept. 17.—A story is being
printed here of the courageous manner
in which a woman of Soissons, Mme,
Macherez, approached the Germans
who entered the town and saved it on
easy terms.
The Germans on entering the town
demanded to see the mayor. The tnay-
or was oat of town and none of the
other local ofiBcials came forwRrd.
Mme. Mscherez thereupon went to
the German commander and said;
“The mayor is not here, but I am
here -and I answer for every one and
everything, as you will have to do if
depredations are committed.”
She then conducted the negotiations
regarding the requisitions demanded
and is said to have done so very skil
fully.

ed if he signed himself as Jas. S.

to inform the ILandmark that some of
