Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 19. Dr. Phillip Cone Fletcher, pulpit orator of Texarkana, Tex., and, fampua, throughout the country as the origin tor, defender and advocate of "Cpty Corners for Courting Couples," J has just arrived here with his eyer in- teresting views on beauty, modesty, paint and feather and taste in Bress, especially as applied to the famate of : the species. Modesty Dr Fletcher de ! clares is fast becoming a lost arfr. t So is blushing. But while" rather I positive in some of his beliefs. Dr. I Fletcher holds that the use of powder and paint by women is justified. "With women," he said, "beauty is j duty, and a woman has the right to use paint and powder if she needs them to make her more beautiful, but she ought to be more frank about it. Ugliness in woman is a sin in an age like, this." While pastor of the Flrjst Methodist Church in St. Louis, Dr. Fletcher op ened a room for courting couples . in the church. He is a strong advocate of woman suffrage. .

Hess of Loraine, who have come all the way to Raleigh to take violin under Miss Charlotte Rueg ger, the Belgian violinist who has been several years with the Oberlin conser vatory.
