Fearing also lias tho distinc tion of being the first woman in Klizabeth City ever to address a political mass meeting. It was in the day when Daniels-for-Pres ident clubs were springing up all over North Carolina and a mass meeting had been called to organize such a club here. Mrs. Fearing, espousing Mr. Daniels cause, made vhirvai considered by those at tending, as the speech of the even ing. Though this* was her first speech before a political gathering, Mrs. Fearing has for a number of years been making public addreses and now has a reputation as a speaker that is more than statewide, having but recently received an invitation to speak before the Fire Marshals' Association of North America at Its annual convention in the city of Detroit on Steptember 11. Mrs. Fearing has accepted the Invitation and will speak on "Teaching Safety Educutlon "In North Carolina Schools," a matter on which she can speak with authority, having been engaged In that very work, as Direc tor of Safety Kducution in Eastern North Carolina, for a number of years. In this position Mrs. Fear ing is working under the North Car olina Insurance Department, but she does not confine her preaching of safety first to the matter fire pre vention. The "Safety Leagues" which she organizes wherever she goes in the State?and slip has visi ted almost every county In North "Carolina?are designed to teach cit izenship, which, Mrs. Fearing says, "spells safety In the highest and broadest sense." Her work in this direction has been highly commend ed by the State Hoard of Education. But though Mrs. Fearing's Job is j the matter of organizing these sufety leagues throughout the State, her; activities ure by no means limited to this work. Mrs. Fearing Is now district president, for her second j term of the Fourteenth District Federation of Woman's Clubs for1 North Carolina, and so successful and efficient has been her leader-) ?hip In this work that for two years In succession she has won the loving olf?-ri d each yt-ar to th?- district |ire?id*. nt who organises the largest number of now dubs in her district and the ^aVfl offend for the largest attendance at a district meeting. In d- ' d. it is due largely to Mrs*. Fear ing that Klizaheth C'itv has a wom an's club today. Klizaheth City didn't until .Mrs. Fearing took the steps that pav?d the way to such a club's organization. { It was not surprising to her neighbors in Klizaheth City, then, that when the County Democratic Convention for Pasquotank County met this year It elected Mrs. J. G. Fearing a delegate to the State Con vention. It must bo confessed, how ever, that the Old Home Town caught its breath when Associated I Press dispatches brought the news to Klizaheth City from the State Convention that Mrs. Fearing had j not only been one of the four women elected delegates at large to the Na | tlonal Convention at New York City j this'year but that Khe had led the I field of women candidates and was .second of both men and women in the 'number of votes received. Her name , was placed in nomination by form ;er Liuetenant Governor O. Max Gardner of Shelby, now prominent ly mentioned as candidate for Gov 'ernor of North Carolina In 1928. I Mrs. Fearing's first public work was teaching school. She was for a 'number of years a primary teacher 'in the city graded school, and her work was distinguished by her In terest in backward pupils. Supt. S. H. Spraggins asked that the more backward children bo assigned to her room and Mrs. Fearing went to Washington. D. C., to obHerve meth-] ods of teaching these pupils. These methods she adapted to local condi tions with gratifying results. Prior to teaching In the primary depart ment of the city graded school she was teacher In the business depart ment of the Albemarle High School, at that time a well known prepara tory school of the Albemarle coun ties. While yet a school girl, she was secretary to President J. M. Rhodes of Littleton Female College. The foregoing facts give some lit tle Idea of Mrs. Fearing's energy and of her versatility. When It Is ud ded that she lias served as a member of the executive board of the Susanna Cocroft Training Camp at Aslievllle, that she was a delegate appointed by Governor Kltchln In 1912 to the Southern Sociological Congress, that she Is now a director of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Fund for North Carolina, that she has been assistant secretary of the A'bemarle District Fair Association since its organization and has been given a large measure of credit for some of the most successful features of that OSTRICH MA Y HA VE HEAD BURIED BUT HIS FEATHERS WAVE ALOFT Graceful Plumage of the Rig Rird Used as Trimming ISot Only on Hats but Also on Dresses and Shoea and an Rrarelets and Evening Headdress Ily AILEKX IiAMONT (C*?yri*M. |?24. By Th.

The vogue for ostrich trimming on evening gowns and even on shoes, which has run riot In Paris and London, Is Just gaining full speed here. Dozens of ostrich trimmed dresses have been on view at the recent functions In honor of Juno bride*. Feathers of every possible hue arc being worn wherever they can be advantageously placed. They droop over hat brims and over fair should ers and hang In delicate fronds from waist lines. 13nt It Is at the skirt hem that they find their fullc?t expreslon. General ly they form a solid band of dainty floating color from the kn< es to the skirt edge and. In many eases, form Uie sole decoration of the frock. Tb^i are so used on a recent Paris JkttMNltlon Just arrived here, made ^^^Pnlte fulgurante. with the new wide V neck line and only a sugges tion of a low waist lino to break the silhouette until a 14 inch band of black ostrich plumes Is reached, which float from the knees down. Another French model made on ?Imflar slim, straight lines is of axelea colored crepe do chine and Is garnished with a big puff of curled ros?-colored ostrich at the left hip. From this ornament fronds of un curled plumes of the same color wid en down the left side of the skirt un til they completely encircle the hem.

The feather vogue has even spread to wraps. One of the most attractive examples seen recently Is of white Georgette lined completely with short ostrich plumes dyed a delicate yellow. One or two pairs of ostrich shoes have reached this side from London. These are made of the skin of the bird, tanned with the feathers on It. The straps are of the skin with the holes where the larger plumes stick through, enlarged into cutout de signs. # | Occasionally small bnnds foAned of bright colored feathers take the place of bracelets around the wrist with feather trimmed e,venlng gowns..
