juhI talked about are on the shelves of
the Camden Library. The month _'s best

One really feels apologetic now in a lit
erary way ^f-they hhven't read the laie

portunity-^-why not read them? When
paid for thov will be nut onthiTfreA
shelves.

number of new books have been ordered
for the free shelves including a full set

It is the desire of the management to
buy only worthwhile' books and not to
spend publfc money on recenfllctWny. f or
that reason they have inutaHed the rental
shelf, thereby placing /them within the
reach of all bu% costing the Librarj
nothing, for when paid for they are turn
ed over to the free shelve#.

?H huiuaits, is very apt t<? limmu' nuite
tired of her present wardrobe. Uvuard*
Iosh >)i the ihut llu- weather ut the
present I huo is decidedly nut in favor of
a Spring outfit, oblo Is tempted to wear
Spring clothes just us a change.
I'ulni lWueh and other Winter it-sort*
have confirmed the aniari styles, aud iU
a result we haw a bevy of interesting
designs ft?r the uew wardrobe*. l<ong,
tight wkirt# were aocoptod fairly well,
but the. Amerieau wtmian has lopg since
wanted, comfort euiu^lned with wnart
iiesw.; So ap go the .skirts, Jvwt ?* l*ari?
said i|iy would and now wo are on
l*Uu-o terms with the 1'ariHinn oouturj<?v*a
! It will bo rcmwwbered that that was the
ui>* point the Amerieau woman disagreed
with. The fact that a skirt could be
tfhfl^and tight ut the same time and
stifl ietaiu gra<*o was inconceivable to
<>ui' rotaf* radical deaignerH. And though
Head Design on Pane!
we have a<-quieseed it must be admitted
that the frock or suit with the tight
nkirt must court the ankles to look its
best '
iWiijg adopts at substitution the Amer
ican designers created the draped nkirts
to take the place of the long, extremely
narrow nnd uncomfortable hobbies. The
'drapery is not limited to any particular
place, such as the aides or back, but It
may be "one-sided or looped up grace
fully at the front or pulled recklessly
tight across the front or back. Of course
tailored model# do not sponsor the drap
ery, and the eveninx gowns are guilty
of capturing the majority of draped
skirts.
And besides, these evening gowns that
have been kept so long under cover are
now becoming real pirates and are cap
turing.. #11 . the attractive features that
are the newest ideas of the designers.
IMce' for instance, appears as- sleeves
and as bodices and everywhere from top
to bottom on tbe evening gown. Black
1 ac&. white lace, nnd metal lace of gold
and* all claim place on tlx- ultra
smart gown.
? . "How thoroughly prehistoric, '^ exclaim
ed the etrttrasfastic buyer when- a coy
little manikin appeared on the dais with
a waistcoat of shindig Jeather. And pre
historic seems to me an excellent charac
terization of these new fads of fashion.
Made on the lines of the ordinary waist
coat, and some with bigh collars, they?
seem quite the right finishing-touch for
tbe Spring suit that has aspirations to
be called unusual.
More demure nnd dainty are the rather
R<iff and clean-cut ones of organdie. They
tuck up in the tiniest of tucks .jat the
front and fall stubborwly over the collar
of tbe suit, because of the stiffness of
the fabric. For a criwp day, the leather
.wouJd prove delightful, but for the day
whelh the breezes are warm the organdie
would be far more acceptable.
I "X combination of unusual interest is
that of organdie and taffeta. The or
prandic is_ oftentimes checked or striped
and the taffeta is usually ?f a contrast
ing color. This combination is quaint,
-atid'one must take great care in the
harmony of color or the entire effect is
lost ' bo used extensively for
nftemoorf- and evening dresses And some
times fopSjery formal affairs.

case of .Walker in unique in the annals
of South Carolina criminology. He was
