Adv. Success of One- Piece Dress Weil Established, and Now Begins Exer cise of Ingenuity in Designing Variations So That This Frock Won't Become Monotonous? Chat on Sports Clothes, When to Wear and What Materials Should Go into Garments. The success of the one-piece dress gam without laying? It is already a thing of history. And now begins the exercise of Ingenuity in ringing changes on this one predominant theme, so that the one-piece dress may ran no risk of becoming monotonous. This has already been done with so much cleverness that the one-piece woven for them, special designs In these foods and in other goods are made for than, and these designs are made np In special ways. Sports clothes are spirited, ultra modern, ex press! re of the woman of today, and more or less elegant. They are be coming ? like everything else ? more and more luxurious.' But their elegance WELL-TAILORED ONE-PIECE DRESS. dress is farther away from simplicity than any other and we are looking for fnrther surprises. Here is a frock of serge, trimmed with silk braid, that scorns all In tricacies In construction or decoration. It presents Its straight lines, almost polling admirationfv^cS^evotee of th? tailored suit will be easily recon ciled to this aspirant for favors, in place of the skirt and coat that have held lint place so long. The usual order of things Is re versed In this skirt, _fo? it^fi fulled into the waist at the"front and back, while the panels at the sides are .plaia. The short bodlinffollows the lines of the natural flgur,??"ahd a belt Is simulated by parallel rows or braid stitched at the waistline. It fastens at the left side with snap fasteners and has an open throat that accommodates a plain white collar which may be of organdie or' crepe. The sleeves are plain and are not nar rowed or widened at the wrist. This Is in keeping with their finish of clean cut rows tff braid. Large, flat pockets at each side of the skirt are covered Is not measured by the richness of ma terial used. It seems that the term "sports j clothes'* Is destined to cover attire all outdoor life ? or at least that i clothes wlH hardly be considered put of place anywhere out of ? f One of the new fabrics used for sports suits is shown above. It his a silky crepelike surface, substantial weight and durability. It is one- of 'several new fabrics, each with a name of its own, that have made a place for themselves which promises to be rti riurlng. <?, ? . In the suit pictured, the skirt Is made of a cross-barred pattern in the material In which bright colors are de fined against a plain ground. The sweater coat has a Mde shawl collar of the cross-bar. Very large pearl buttons fasten the overlapping ends of the belt. Just now suits of this kind are worn with plain blouses of crepe de' chine or of linen or fine cot ton. The vogue of sports clothes give given colors a wonderful) impetus. n plain grounds, broad stripes, cross bars, disks and checks appear !.a bold sifnjf nHfictffi general Carr Discusses His Plans For . Carrying Out Weighty Task As signed Him. Durham. ? Gen. Julian S. Carr, who was qommissioned by Governor Locke Oral* as agent for the people of North Carolina to have erected a suitable monument on the summit of Blue Ridge Mountains in memory of Dr. Elisha Mitchell, has proached his pre tentious plans for the inception of this national movement. The monument of granite ? to be a replica of the Wasu ington memorial ? will necessitate the expenditure of $151,000. The multiple agencies and Institutions which the life ofithe scientist, minister and edu cator touched will be solicited to sub scribe $101,000 and the state and na tional governments Jolnly $60,000. Opportunities for contributions will be extended to every individual and institution but the campaign at once takes on a systematic* appeal. Ten grouped organizations will be solicited in the aggregate with definite sums named:" The University, of North Carolina and the twelve collects of the state, $10,000; the boys and girls of the state through" the agencies of public' and private schools, $10,000 ; colored children of North Carolina will donate $1,000; alumni of Yale University (Dr. Mitchell's alma mater), $10:090; the American Association of Scientists 10,000 in number ? $10,000; churches North and South ? especially the Pres byterian church in which Dr. Mitchell was elder and minister, $10,000; West ern North Carolina through the offices of public spirited citizens, counties and cities, $10,000; railways, hotels, vis itors and touristy $10,000; other pa triotic and generous citizens, $20,000. The total aggregates $101,000; The nation wide appeal of General Carr, with particular reference to the people of North Carolina, emphasizes the magnitude of the undertaking and the worthiness of the cause. The let ter says in part: "Impelled by a sense of duty and deep feeling of piide in everything that concerns the honor and presperity of our state, I have accepted from Gov ernor Craig a commission to act as ; agent for the people of North Carolina In erecting on the summit ef the Blue Ridge Mountains a suitable monument in memory of Dr. Elisha Mitchell. "It is proposed to protect the grave by a handsome covering of granite or marble; and to erect nearby, on land belonging to the state, a replica of the Washington monument. Nothing short of this would be worthy of the state, the mountain," *nd the great man who gave his life to Its exploration and measurement. ? . I- unlimiiea supply ??** on tBw summit xn me mountain, will reduce the cost to half what It otherwise would be. Still, the enterprise is gigantic; and it will re quire at least $160,000? possibly more. "The people of North Carolina are equal to this great achievement. Dr. Mitchell gave them forty years of his life in active, unremitting educational and scientific work. His name is en rolled high in the list of American scientists, teachers and discoverers. He was also a minister of the Presbyterian church and his whole life was marked by philanthropic public service, as well j as by countless good deeds In private. The erecting of a great monument to his memory Will appeal to thousands of hearts throughout the United ; States. ; "Let us all unite and erect on the -, highest mountain in America, east of the Mississippi river, a monument , worthy of Mitchell worthy of the j mountain and worthy of the Old ; North State."
