MEETING The Waightstill Avery Chapter of the D. A. R. met with Mrs. C. P. White Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock April 19, with our regent, Mrs. Sil versteen, in the chair. There were nine present, one of whom was Mrs. Blythe, who is on a visit to our town and whose presence gave us much pleasure. The meeting was enthus- iastic and after the routine of busi- j ness, the Chapter voted to donate ; $25.00 to th egatcway of the Na- ; tional Pisgah Forest Reservation in the purchase of a flag and flag pole at the entrance . If the amount do nated will be sufficien for botb ngs and poles, it is the wish of the Chap- ter that the money be used for that purpose.

L ENGLISH, Notray Public PLAITS IN FAVOR Decoration for Dresses Popular Here and Abroad. Garments That Are Simple of Outline Feature Panels, Sleeves, Cape Effects, Flounces. Plaits have seemingly caught the fancy of the Parisienne ns well as of the American woman, asserts a fash ion correspondent in the New York Tribune. Dresses simple of outline that feature plaits either in the form of panels, sleeves, cape effects, flounces or the like are rushing In upon us at a great speed. Plaits sometimes servo ns trim mings in the form of inset motifs, made either of the same fabric used for the dress or suit or a contrasting one. The material Is made into squares or oblongs after it is very finely plaited and then applied to the garment. Ribbons as trimmings are in great favor and quantities of many com binations of ribbons are seen. Coats close at the side with a ribbon whii has streamers so long that they trail on the ground. Soutache braid trim ming is also In great demand. One coutourier has a youthful model made of serge having no ornamentation other than snurrcs of souiaeh -.Cmm alternate with serge squares. Heavy wool embroidery done in n loop stitch, and which gives the ap pearance of tapestry. Is among this season's novel irimmimrs. This em broidery is sometimes sheared to form little square tufts which stand away from the surface of the fabric about one-quarter of an inch in depth. Sometimes a part of the pattern Is clipped and the rest is left in ti-lit loops. This trimming is used to form deep borders on coats as well as col lars and cuff. In addition to loop stitch needle work, there are effects achieved by means of curiously formed stitches, some of which trive the appearance of four. When the loop sritch is used it is sometimes varied by being caught down with a stitch of silk embroidery. At one French house embroideries along the lines of ancient motifs are being featured. Among the leather trimmings tbnr nre being shown are those of patent and plain kid and suede, the latter sometimes perforated to make it more ornate. The highly glazed leathers nre in red. blue and black, and look like gelatin paillettes when applied in narrow hands. Leather Is also used as n foundation for embroideries. A. number of de. liners are using It's Your Some Specials Can You Beat 'Em? Ladies' Nainsook Gowns, .49c. Mens' Khaki Pants $1.19 All over Aprons . . 69c. " Dress Shirts 95c.

PREFER THE YELLOW PEARL Oriental Peoples Consider the Colored Gem Superior to the White in Many Respects. Most persons have placed the lus trous white pearl above all others. The 'hinese, however, together with other eastern peoples. prefer the yellow pearl, believing that it preserves both luster and coi n- longer than the white. This pearl is said to owe its yellow to the 'act that the oysters have been allowed to d.e and putrefy in their shells, the shells opening of them selves on the death of the oyster. This custom has been ascribed to the fac,- that the pearl generally lies ClOSl to tlie ed: the si and it is f be are.! that many fine pearls would spoiled if the process of opening the shel Illack 1 witti a knife were practiced, pearls are very much valued. The famous belonging t. necklace of black pearls the late Kinpress Kugi-nie was sold for ''". nmi I'ink pearls are much desi'vd among the Buddhists, who employ them pi',,, finely in the adorning of their temples.
