Address of Welcome by wiin, ami in rnese nays ot exuavn and enhancement of nature': jrance gifts, there are practically none among our ladies who do not make the best of themselves, to the delight of man kind who have not yet learned the art of well dressing. Millinery and the subtle little trifles of the up to date woman's apparel are the magic wands that steer many an ardent admirer into the ever increas ing fold of woman devotees, and these creations of headgear are better seen than described. What can one say of a large or small hat made of velret and flowers and with a large brass buckle 'on the side, or in front, and yet it would be sacri lege to stop at .that, for it is not the hat, nor the trimming that make the hat what it finally appears wl en worn oy its owner, but it is the warm tinge of personality with which the wearer en dows the creation that makes us won der that so little can mean so much i wearing apparel for the ladies and! one was hurt and little damage j children, and this is coupled with the j done.

NORTH CAROLINA LEADING IN PRODUCTION OF MICA MORTALITY RATE LOWEST EVER RECORDED IN THE U. S. Mrs. A. M. Riddick Small hats have the tendency to the Tam-o '-shanta crown, and these are made principally of velvet, and quite a range of these little things can be seen today at the opening that Mrs. Rid dick has staged for her patrons and friends. Large hats are also in vogue, and are extra large, bearing upon the picture hats of several seasons ago, so that the cry will be "hats off" when worn at the movies. They are mostly of the flat crown order with littl- trimming, and the beauty of the crea tion lies in the fine workmanship put into the make up. Geargette crepes are again in vogm?, being fashionable this fall as they were during the latter days of the jtant spring. A pretty assortment of art collars in crepe do chine and organdies are be ing shown in white, for wear with gowns of a contrasting eolrv thus giv ing the pronounced contrast effect so greatly in vogue with the fashion ceii- tern.
