POLK COUNTY ITEY73, TRYOI7, ITORTH CAHOL1I7A LITTLE COATS DEFY liDWItlTER Sl ., I gS!2ir"" " ' "'mi ' ivv 1 V&i- &s ',1. ... l V.'' 'I'jfe Against the coming of midwinter, a jew lot of coats, for lucky little girls, lave come to light in the shops.; If they ever get close enough to Jack Frost to speak to him their wearers will be sure to laugh in his face for it will take his bitterest mood to prove him an enemy to their comfort. These coats are most often of thick, soft woolly cloths made double-breasted and having the coziest of collars. Some of them look as if Mary's faithful Jamb had been skinned and its pelt converted into a coat without going through the hands of the spinners and weavers. Lovely and cozy describes them and they are, of course, the prod uct of the looms which do j miracles with wools. The little coats of, thick cloths are plain with inset pockets and sleeves that reach to the knuckles, so that hands thrust into pockets are entirely lost sight of. They are made with turnover collars and narrow belts of the material and they are long enough to reach below the knees. There are some pretty coats of vel veteen lined with silk. These are sometimes made with blouse and skirt and sometimes straight. Cuffs and very wide muffler collars of fur fabric SOME OF THE Just now, millinery shops and their patrons are concerning themselves with hats for midwinter. Turbans and off-the-f ace hats, small and medium in size, make up a big percentage of the displays, although they are not alone in their glory. There are plenty of large, picturesque models for those who wear them well. But the smaller hats are prominent in' every class of millinery; chic tailored hats for the street, semi-dress hats and brilliant models for 'afternoon wear all prove successful in the smaller shapes. The Napoleon hat,' full of dash- and style, seems to be the inspiration of many models. One. interpretation of it appears at the top of the group of small and . medium hats ...shown . here. This is a brilliant hat of black paon velvet adorned with long stitches of chenille and an occasional velvet blos som set flat against the upturned brim. This is all that can be told of it in the way of description but the picture shows its style and youthfulness the intangible things that make It fit com pany for a handsome afternoon frock or at home with a tailored coat. The small velvet turban at the left made of , tucked, velvet, will appeal to the matron who insists upon smart millinery with lines And shape suited to her face. A long, sweeping wing at the front consents to rest where it is, in : the companv of two handsome ornamental pins, with large , heads, that are thrust through it. It is a shape that will look well in any of the y with deep set-in Dockets show the equal to battling with the cold, even though they are not as sturdy looking as the woolly coats. Besides these there are many plush coats made like the woolly ones, usually in dark7 colors with plush collars that Imitate beaver and buttons covered with beaver plush. They are as warm as the woolly coats and as dressy as the velvet ones. Finally, there are fur coats for little folks. These days one cannot even whisper "furs" without saying "money" In a loud tone of voice, so only little rich girls will find themselves wearing coats that, are made of. pelts that once defended small friends of theirs against the cold. Rabbits,4nuskrats and squir rels have been sacrificed to make warm coats for the small girls, white bunnies for the tiniest ones and just plain rab bits for girls as big as the little miss pictured. The shawl collar looks as If it were sealskin but It is not. Mollle Cottontail furnished the fur and the furrier dyed It. It Is not prettier or more ,coinf ortable than the other coats, but It requires much more work to make It and . thereby hangu the tale of its long price. Such a, coat costs a little more than a hundred dollars. ' - SMALLER HATS season's quieter tones of color an& will make a fine suit hat. Another in teresting hat for a matron is shown at the right of the group. It is ol duvetyn with slashed brim. The crown is concealed by short, uncurled os trich feathers. The place of honor at the center of the group belongs to "a hat that goM a step beyond mere prettlness and looks in another direction for Its novel charm. It Is one of those shaggy af fairs that call to mind the headwear of Robinson Crusoe. Paris has made goats' hair called by atf other "name a fashionable.adornment for millinery and New York has given monkey fur much attention. These with glycerined and-burnt ostrich burnt goose and other feathers have been used -for or naments like the wreath on the black velvet beret at the center of the pic ture. A large ivory pin lends its aris tocratic air to the ensemble, making a brilliant black and white combination equal to any occasion. Coats for Day Wear. . Many new coats intended for day wear are on straight tailored line rather mann!sh In effect; while wrap? for special occasion wear and for eve ning use are loose and In draped ef feet" . 0 l4 ffirf&tl - . - k SEPA GROTTO FESTIVAL CLOSES Constant Round of Hilarity and Fun.

Prltchard pay a splen did tribute to the late Theodore Roosevelt,, the occasion being one of the meeting being held under auspices of the Roosevelt memorial associa tion. ' ' -r High Point. Directors of the cham ber of commerce approved the propo sition to construct a new hotel here in the near future, and also added their endorsement to the housing program, which contemplates the erection of a half hundred or more rent houses.

Wooten, of Mount Olive, who has been able to untangle the geographical lines In eastern Europe and knows which is which among the new states.
