A. Smith, of High Point and Greensboro, was disowned by the state body.

In other words, the union has no paper'. -Mr. Smith had Indicated a willing ness to publish the Co-Operator, using it largely for. the. dissemination of publicity In theihterest of the state) union. Ore of the delegates declared that that proposal should be accepted, with the proviso that the state union would determine the reading matter to be printed In the paper.

Manufacturers ? had - only to feature and emphasize the points that appeal ed with such success to the buying public, as they turned out new exam ples of established modes. Using the softest, of thick and pliable' materials they have exaggerated the big muf fler collars, the roomy sleeves and the general ample appearance of the top coat of the early season. In everything (but price) the coats of today suit the smartly dressed woman down to the last detail. She grumbles at the un heard of prices but she pays them. The story of winter coats draws to a close with the introduction of inter esting new ways of putting them to gether; tricks of cutting and shaping the sleeves or of adding decorations that are unusual, or varying the shape of. the huge collars. The two handsome models pictured bring out these points in coats of approved materials made iij on approved lines. But the coat at the left reveals a yoke and sleeves cut in one piece and a muffler; collar that Is shaped differently from the original and much-copied model. It is made of silvertone, with big patch "pockets and depends upon narrow" braid and but tonsJfor a striking embellishment.! It seems like painting the lily to add any adorment to a cloth so rich but it is done, by way of variety. ! In the handsome coat at the right the outlines are much ilthe same as those in the coat . of silvertone, but the designer pursued a different path to arrive at the same goal. Uncut Bo livia is the cloth used and the sleeves are, covered by a braided pattern that enriches even this luxurious material. The most voluminous of all muffler collars snuggles up about the' throat and a narrow; belt of the fabric draw9 attention to the fact that there is such a thing as a waistline, without getting very near to It. ; ' Laurinburg. At the recorders court a new drink was In evidence. Put up In pint bottles wfth a small label about the size of a dime with S.
