Winter fashions have been fully settled upon and it is gratifying to say that for many a season, if ever, they have not been as attractive as they are this year. There is a charm ing variety. Fabrics are rich both in quality and coloring, trimmings are artistic, and designs are sim plicity itself. TRIMMING NOTES The simple serge and gabardine frocks, so much favored for all day time occasions, are trimmed ffect ively ith braid, designs in soutache, Hercules, and novelty braidings; but the touches hat render them distinctive are the curious color notes that are being introduced for contrast on many of the smart new French models. Pink silk embroidery is often seen on frocks of dark blue serge, and a dull reseda wool embroidery is unu sually smart on dark blue: this wool embroidery is one of the new no tions of the winter; it appears on collars, cuffs, girdles, and trimming bands or frocks, coats and blouses. Heavy wool worked out in a rib ef fect to imitate wide Hercules braid, is a detail of many of the imported serge and gabardine dresses. The various conventionalized soutache patterns on a foundation of net or chiffon, often edged with a band of a flat siik braid or an edge of fur is much in vogue for trimming the more dressy frocks; the wide braids, in numberless attractive designs, are popular.ps well. The standing sou tache designs are favorable for yokes and chemisettes and for "the half belts so much a feature of the smart panel Princess dress. The wide braids are often used for an entire panel or yoke on a skirt; also for cuffs, and the standing band collars which appear on so many of these cloth dresses CAPE COLLARS AND CHOKERS Another quaint and beeoming de tail of these dark cloth dresses is the collar. Many of the plairi redin gote serge gowns are made with sin gle or double cape collars Colored collars of all descriptions are being worn: turnover collars of colored velvet add a smart touch to the cho ker of the simple dress, and the idea of the colored chemisettes of the summer is being carried out for win- Braid Trimmed Check Costume ter in failles and brocades, striped onA firrnrorl vplvPtS. Chemisettes of .!iin mA0 with hio-h. un- yaic yiua. lams., - c lined, unboned collars, buttoning at! tVio eir! arirl wrinkline about the throat like a mousquetaire glove, are worn with gowns of serge or vplut. The neckline of the dress is usually rounded in an old-fashion ed curve and finished with a straight band of tbe material. At one of the fall openings in Paris a chiffon afternoon frock was trimmed with wide, heavy Hercules braid; following this idea comes a frock of serge trimmed with sou tached chiffon. INTERESTING BUTTONS Among the button noveltes, both for service and for tri m miner nnr. poses, there is a large gold button. patterned after the plain, four-holed porcelain underwear button; another is an acron button of brilliants. COLORED FACINGS Skirts are being trimmed consider ably this, winter; and there is a mark ed use of velvet and cloth, combined and of velvet and chiffon., and velvet and faille. Many of the skirts are banded with velvet, wide and narrow. Some of the prettiest and smartest notions along this line are the con trasting facings. Early last spring Paquin introduced the idea in a chic little afternoon dress of dark blue taffeta; it is now- being applied to serge and cloth frocks. Many of the strictly tailored dresses of serge, gabardine, or broadcloth, show these bright colored facings; the facing MoCal.Ii Redingote of Serge and Satin generally comes down and finishes A 1 1 1 a f 1 . me jower eage oi tne start witn a narrow piping of the color. Blue gowns are faced with rose, red, old 11 Tit 1 V - s-W gold, ana d acK velvet; tne ertect is wonderfully attractive and harmoni ous. LEATHER AS A TRiMMING One of the smart innovations of the season is the three-quarter coat of leather, trimmed with fur and velvet. Paquin introduced this at her recent opening and also intro duced leather as a., trimming for fuits and frocks. FUR BECOMING AND TIMELY Perhaps the most pleasing thing about tne winter t'immings is the touch of fur which appears on many of the indoor costumes and most of the out-of-door suits and frocks. The tight, little choker collars of one of the short haired relts, beaver, nutria, or that smart Russian krim mer, are decidedly chic and most be coming. These collars are being worn with suits and with the one- piece dresses; generally, they are ac companied with a muff, as round as a ball and strongly suggestive of Grandmother's 'ay. Wide cape col lars of fur closed under the chin with a stiff little bow of taffeta or moire ribbon are smart, too, with these small muffs. On The Water Wagon The alfalfa delegate was paying his first visit to a city of any size. Standing on the sidewalk he chanced to see a sprinkling cart coming down the street, and no soon j er had set eyes on the thing that he began to laugh like the bo at a min- istrel show. "Say, old pal," he remarked hil ariously, punching a cop in the ribs, U. U4- oil?" "Don't what beat ali?" responded the wondering cop. What s the joke?" "Just look at that fellow on that wagon!" replied tha alfalfa party, I . . . nointmc to the sDrinkler. lhat derned chump won't rrave a drop of wnter by the time he gets home." Exchange.

COME IN AND INSPECT OUR LINE AND PRICES Scotland Neck Cash or Scotland Ntck, co-operate with tbe State Depart ment by opening several moonlight schools in the vicinity of Chapel Hill, last week, Francis Bradshaw, of Hillsboro, who is at the head of the i ural Sunday School workers of the Y- M. C. A., made an appeal to the as. sembled sdudentbody for volunteers') in the moonlight school campaign. He informed the students that with in the narrcw limits of Chapel Hill township the home of the Univer sity, there were 150 white persons who could neither read nor write. He then outlined the campaign to be carried on by the Y. M. C. A. Seven schools, he said, were to be established, which were to run three nights out of the week during the month of November; but, he added, if enough students volunteered for the work each student would not have to go out over four or five times during the month and thus, would not get behind in his school vork. As a result of this appeal eighty-four students volunteered to devote a part of their time during the month of November to this work. The campaign to be waged by the Y. M. C. A. has the active support and co-operation of the University Faculty, the Chapel Hill Commun ity Club, and the State Department of Education.
