, ''This.ttiiig called "Style has al
ways been a source of amusement
to me. . Among some4of my earl-
iest and most lasting,, impressions
are some of the absurdities 'and
inconsistencies of fashion. There
was one thing as a child I could
understand, and l;must act

that' I made a lifelong enemy of a

her "creations" would be, shown
It must have been the manner, in
which I said it, for Ican see no
- harm in it. But with all the things
I say, I shall always have the
.greatest respect and admiration
for the fashion designers. Surely
they must have the greatest minds
in the world to conceive, of such
queer and quaint V monstrosi
ties." and to think of them so
often. Just think they can so
completely revolutionize things
from season that the past shapes
look "perfectly awful" when
they were . so "perfectly lovely '
last year. I really canoot under

The other day I saw,' a ".lady
'.'making an irattempt" to go
. down the street wearing a skirt,
which -'was "in latitude " though
tfiorely scanty " (with. apologies to
.Burns. ) ' She seemed like one., in
distress, and all the sympathy
and pity of - my nature went out .to '
Jier, but when I ventured near,
ishe gave me a haughty look and
glanced (I thought) -scornfully
toward my apparel, and I passed !
quickly on, and left he? hobbling t
along behind. ' ; .
Perhaps I will be called a cri

. my ideas But as far back as I
can remember people have com
mented on style, and they will ,
continue to do so as long as wo-J
man makes herself a slave to
Fashion. But even . in the pre-'
sent narrow skirtrwith its absurd
and rather immodist appearance,
we have something to be think-

Securing Foreign Labqrw :'
Southern Pines,v- June, 2 The
sandhill country has. reached a
stage wnere arr innovation urine
labor question "... had, lo . be intro
duced, and on Vlonday morning
the black clouds that rolled .u p
over the hills to the east of .South
ern Pines told that a new day had
dawned. v;; ; - ; ' ' '
On the Exma & Crossland plan
tation a strange people, speaking
a strange language, has commenc
ed the task that the hme labor
is unable to carry-through-' : s
Tlie expansion ,o f industry : in
the f andhili country has becnvfar
too rapid 'for the available labor
supply, and the farmers have been
looking in all directions for relief.
It remained for Exum . & Cross
land to find the wav out. Last
week they received a delegation I
of. Russian 'Jews -from Imjw Vfetk,
and this week another group ar
rived, with more to folld- These
people have been taken to the big
operation at Lumberdale, where
they will have the opportunity of
clearing severa) hhndred acres of
new land and of making theb
selves permanent, situations on
the farms that "are being opened,
if they prove the right material.
- They start out with a great
deal of promise. They come re
commended as industrious, steady
workers, economical and depend
able, and the well-known Jewish
habbitfof thrift and accumulation
is 'r expected to make of them a
highly use'ful. factor in; the indus
trial mixture- v V v V ,C ' i' '
If these people work' out 'satis
factorily it is only a question of
a short - timeN until ; hundreds i of
them will. be here, for the need of
hands, erbod hands, who can be
relied on to stay at the work be4 Baltimore Chm

could be placed in the sand hills

tations want hoe and plow hands,
the expanding business that fol
lows, a developing country wants
men, and on all sides the same in
quiry is . heard. ; , . "
' About : two' dozen of the Jews
have arrived- at - Southern : Pines
for the Lumberdale development,
and the number that will come js

can be procured and the way

Lush els. - The boy and the goat
did all the worj:, except the first
plowing of -the land, which was
done with jiorse or mule power.
No ' special v seed coi n was u sed ,

ing followed. ' .:Common corn was
planted, and the - crop was tend
