The News with her first-hand
impressions of the developing
modes for the summer sad f?ll
of 1927.)
New York, (By cable from Paris)
May 30. ? Printed frocks with plain
wraps have appeared as a new mode
in Paris, almost overnight.
Earlier in the season the textile
designers, both here and in Europe
were confronted by the usual spring
question, would or would not the
smart women wear figured frocks for
warm weather. Plain fabrics, par
ticularly those of plain combina
tions seemed to have taken such a
definite hold in the mode that there
was no question as to their contin
ued success. The only figured fab
rics seen were those of small geo
metric all-over designs that gave the
fabric a feeling of texture rather
than a strikingly figured pattern.
The Mode Changes
The midseason openings, and a
few really warm days, extremely
worm for so early in the season have
changed this. The first warm day,
lunching in the Bois, one saw frock
after frock, gaily figred and in 'high'
colors. Personally, I was slightly
shocked at this, because all indica
tions of the mode eo far had led me
to believe that it was to be a sum
mer of plain fabrics, made "with a
oertain determined simplicity and
regard for exquisite workmanship.
However, this is what is apt to
happen in Paris. Modes spring up
overnight, last a week or two, per
haps all of a month, and then are
given up for something else.
Contrary to all that is said con
cerning the American woman's mad
desire for new and ever new things,
the life of a mode in Paris is far
shorter than it is in America. In
America a mode is perpetuated by
the manufacturers, who produce it
in large quantities so that it reaches
the great mass of people. In France
only a comparative handful of well
dressed women are smart.
American Women Dress Well
In Paris they say that it takes
forty years to make a true elegante,
the finished product of perfect taste

and sophisticated dressing. In Amer
ica, we produce mere chits of
twenty-one, who if they are not true
elegante*, at least have a noteworthy
style of their own, a certain philos
ophy of dress that one does not see
in France. This is a vigorous, well
put-together simplicity peculiar to
American women. I shall write more
about this later.
All this was brought on by the
printed frocks 1 saw while lunching
iri the Bois . In order to understand
a sudden appearance in the mode, it
is necessary to understand its rela
tion to the mode as a whole.
This figured mode is very pretty.
Some of the frocks I saw were green,
,ii ij.ieti ??oil" shades with a decided
yellow cast, figured, rather largely,
with white. With a frock of this
sort was worn a coat of plain crepe
or Kasha cloth and a matching green
felt hat. Occasional frocks ap
peared with no wrap at all, but
these were in darker shades and j
were worn with blue fox or silver
fox. furs. '
Thi* It Very Smart
A dark blue and white figured 1
frock was worn with a Reboux
sailor hat of that new shiny ?"China"
straw that Reboux is aow using. The
hat had a moderately wide mush
room brim and was dark blue, bound
and banded with heavy dark blue
belting. Silver fox furs and black
patent-leather shoes were worn with
this costumes
Occasionally one sees dark blue
shoes in Paris, with a dark blue cos
tume, but these are generally worn
by Americans who seem to adore to
take to fancy foot-gear as soon as
they leave their native shoes.
Another coftume, the smartest I
saw, was of beige and dark blue.
The frock was beige and dark blue
figured with a large simple design
of "modern" (lowers, ? much nicer
than it sounds ? and with it was
worn a dark blue coat and hat. The
coat was of fine rep, stitched with
lines of matching silk, and on the
lapel was an enormous chiffon |
flower, the exact shade of beige as
the pattern of the frock. Dark blue
velour was used for the hat, a round
crowned hat with a tiny turn-down
brim. The crown of this hat was a
little higher than the crown of the
cloche we wore for so long. This is
a new shape, and very smart.
The true distinction of this cos
tume was perfected by simple beige
kid oxfords and matching stockings,
and by a lizard bag and antelope
gloves the exact shade of the shoes
and stockings. All of this is very
simple, but exquisitely thought out
and perfect of its kind.

JUSTICE OF PEACE
DRAWS 90 DAYS
(Charlotte News, May 12)
S. (A, Mangum, Charlotte justice
of peace, was sentenced to serve S'ti
clays ou the roads and to removal
from his office for failing to make
reports and payments of lines, fees
and forfeitures collected by him
while acting as rural police judge.
The sentence was pronounced by
Judge Currie in Charlotte police
court after numerous efforts to get
the magistrate into court for trial
were brought to a successful ter
mination only through his arrest
and incarceration without bail.
Notice of appeal was given and
bond fixed at $1,000 for his appear
ance in Mecklenburg Superior court.
Mangum was returned to a cell in
the city jail while attoneys at
tempted to arrange the bond.
Mangum originally waa only noti
fied to appear in court to answer
the charges. He failed to show up
and a capias was issued for him. He
was put under $500 bond but trial
was delayed when physicians said he
was too ill to appear. Tuesday
when tl>e case was called he failed
to show up and another capias was
issued and he was arrested after a
short foot race with city detectives.
He was held until today without
bond.
S. A. Mangum, county magistrate,
who awaits trial in Superior court
on charge of failure to deliver to
the county money secured in his
court, late yesterday blamed a
meager education for his present di
lemma.
"1 just didn't have enough school
ing to keep my books straight," he
told reporters from behind the
bars.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT PLAN
GOING O. K. IN CARTERET
"We are making progress in the
introduction of the provisions of the
new county government legislation
in Carteret County," said J. E.
Woodland, chairman of the board of
commissioners in that county.
Mr. Woodland is also president of
the State Association of County
Commissioners and a member of the
County Government Advisory Com
mittee.
The officials nre beginning to un
derstand the workings of the new
system, and they are being encour
aged in the work of introducing the
changes by the taxpayers of Carter
et county, who are beginning to spe
advantages in the new system.
Albert E. Grover of Berea, O., has
a clarinet played by his grandfather
in the band that greeted General La
fayette on his visit to the United
States in 1824.

Are You a Gambler?
Maybe you like to gamble.
Maybe you don't believe in it.
Anyway if you did take a chance we be
lieve you would at least expect to double
your money.
Y ou gamble with fire and theft when you
leave your valuable papers and bonds at
your home and office. Did you ever hear
of anyone doubling on this chance? No.
But they have often lost everything.
When there is all to lose and nothing^ to
gain if you win, why gamble when our

It still widening and embracing the
Gentiles. Through the conversion 'if
Cornelius, the "tultUlle wall of partl
tlon" was broken down (Epli. 2:4).
I. Cornelius (10:1, 2).
1, His official position (v. 1).
He wns a ltouiuu officer over a com
pany of 100 soldiers.
2. His character (v. 2). *
(1) A devout, pious man. (2) He
was a praying man. (3) He was
charitable. He gave much alms. (4)
He was respected b,v his family.
II. The Supernatural Preparation
for the Transition of the Go ? pa I to the
Gentllee (10:3-33).
This was of divine arrangement. No
barrier Is too great to prevent the
coming together of persons whom the
Lord desires to meeL In order to
bring this about :
1. Two villous were given.
(1) The vision of Cornelius (yv.
3-8). 9
While engaged In prayer, an angel
of God announced that his prayer and
alms had come before God bb a me
morial, and Instructed him to send to
Joppa for Peter who would tell him
what to do.
(2) The vision of Peter (yv. 9-16).
This took place while Peter was
praying (v. 0). He saw a certain ves
sel containing clean and unclean ani
mals let down from heaven, and heard
the command, "Itlse, Peter, kill and
eat." Peter protested that he had
never eaten any unclean thing. God
replied, "What God hath cleansed, that
call not thou common."
2. A messenger sent from Cor
nelius (yv. 17-22). ?
Peter was greatly perplexed over
what he had ?een, but not for long,
for messengers from Cornelius made
Inquiry at tbe gate for him. The
spirit Informed Peter of the matter
and bade him go, nothing doubting.
3. The meeting of Cornelius and
Peter (yy. 23-33).
(1) Peter took six witnesses along
(v. 23).
(2) Cornelius waiting for Peter
(y. 24).
He called together hla kinsmen and
near friends.
(3) Cornelius about to worship
Peter (yy. 25, 28).
Peter repudiated his act and pro
tested that h* was but a man.
(4) The rtolprocal explanation (vv.
27-38).
III. Pater"* Strmon (tt, 34-43).
1. The introduction (yv. 34, 3.1).
He showed that God Id no respecter
of persons. This does not mean that
Cornelius was already In a state of
gra'-e. thereby saved, but that he was
eligible to hear the gospel and ac
cept the terras of salvation.
2. His discourse (yv. 38-48).
In the discourse he touches briefly
upon the mission of Jesus, showing
I hut by means of His baptism and
anointing with the Holy Spirit, He was
qualified for His work as mediator.
He then exhibited the work of Christ:
(1) In His life <vv. 88-39).
It was oue of beneficence. He went
about doing good, even casting gut
demons as a proof thut God was with
Him (v. 33).
(2) In His death (v. 38).
The just suffered for the unjust that
He might bring u* to God (I Pet 3:18).
(3) In His resurrection (vv. 40, 41).
In this discourse is set forth :
(a) The basis of salvation ? the
crucifixion of Christ.
(b) The scope of salvation ? who
soever belleveth in Him.
(c) The method of appropriating
salvation? believing on Him.
IV. The Holy Spirit Peur?d Out
(vv. 44-48).
This was a new Pentecoet.
V. Peter Vindicates His Mlnlatry
to the Gentiles (11 :i-18).
Being called to account for visiting
and eating with Gentiles. Peter re
hearsed the whole story In such a way
tUal his nurratlve took the form of
logical argument, and showed how God
had set His seal upon the work by the
miraculous gift of tha Spirit.
Closing the Day
Say* Pr. it. A. Torrey : ' So bantf
ever?closes its business day until lis
bslonce Is found to be absolutely cor
rect. And no Christian should clos*
a single day until his accounts with
God for that dny have been perfectly
adjusted alone with Him."

FACTS
about used car
allowances
Most new car sales now in
volve the trading-in of a
buyer's used car. More and
more people are asking:
"Why should my used car
seem to have several val
ues? Why should deal
ers in different makes of
cars offer me allowances
differing materially? ....
Does the largest allowance
offered mean the best deal
for me?"
Here are basic facts:
IYour used car has seemingly
different values because com
petitive dealers are bidding to sell
you a new car.
2 Your used car has only one
fundamental basis of value:
what the dealer who accepts it in
trade can get for it in the used car
market.
3 The largest trade-in allowance
which is offered on your used
car is not necessarily the best deal
for you. Sometimes it is; but some
times it is not
4 An excessive allowance may
mean that you are paying an
excessive price for the new car in
comparison with its real value.
5 Judge the merits of the new
car in comparison with its
price, including all delivery and
finance charges. Then weigh any
difference in allowance offered on
your used car.
WHEN YOU are ready to trade
in your present car, remem
ber that after all you are making a
purchase and not a ?a/e. You are
buying a new car and simply
applying your present car as a
credit toward the purchase price
of a new car,
