It had a head and a body and feet and legs and eyes and nose and other manful ap purtenances thereto. Its head was plumb full of sap.

SUMMER WRAP OF SHEER VELVET PROVES A GENERAL FAVORITE -v- JSE'&fecv i $ Set 1 ImH S ttSMrgBBl ,//• 1 V v*j 183° 1930 . ImM If ■%i 1 ; ^*AAMMaaAw ussxi m >. || i 1 & m v 77* lb N % C OME summer, come winter, come autumn or spring, transparent velvet continues to wield Its magic spell o’er the world of fashion. It seems the more we say about these exquisitely sheer velvets which are casting their glamorous beauty throughout the realm of dress, the more we wont to say. One of the most enticing themes which has to do with the shimmering, colorful ^finger-ring velvets. Is that of the summer wrap. Summer evening fashions lay particular stress on a re lation between the gown and the wrap pertaining to color. The Idea works out moat attractively when a color al liance la formed between a sheer vel vet wrap and a dainty chiffon frock. The point Is carried most effectively when Ihe darker shade is used for the wrap, such at a porcelain nlue dress topped with a sapphire blue velvet cape or coat, a brown wrap with a beige frock, a dregs of wine velvet over peach chiffon. The very charming rose-colored sheer velvet wrap in which Laura La >P^inru, famed In duemaland for her blond beauty. Is posing for this picture, how revealing It Is of Important fasti- Jon trends. Its first Item of style Is the fact of it being a scant ibree quar- ter length. Most of the really smart coats are quite short like this one. This lovely velvet mantle suggests that it takes two to glorify the modern wrap, the maker and the wearer, for certainly the artistic manner with which Miss La Plante enfolds her dainty form In its supple (olds adds to Its plcturesqneness. The soft bow on this wrap Is also significant for fantastic, cleverly raanlpnL.ted bows of self-fabric are a flattering feature In the smartest summertime fanciful wraps. In the picture, the* tfown over which this lovely wrap is so gracefully posed, la of the same dainty velvet as the wrap with which It Is worn. Sheer summery , velvet ensembles, such as this, serve delightfully for cool-teiu- perature evenings. However, the part the coat plays as a separate wrap for midsummer days with fluff ery frocks Is no less distinctive No flowered chif fon dress Is complete without a sleek, handsomely colorful velvet wrap to go with it. A further use of gay velvet wraps Is slated for autumn days. In that they will be worn with plaited skirt of the same velvet, over contrasting blouses of metsi doth, lace and the like JULIA BOTTOM LEI; - (Q. ItSI. WwUro Newspeper Unios.) 77L Storehouse of Jiistory O RGANIZED 100 years ago in Petersburg, Virginia, a city rich in historic interest and destined to play a deciding part in events of future years, the Petersburg Railroad was the worthy pioneer of that notable group of rail roads, serving the famed doastal plains of the Southeast, that were brought together to form the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. No part of America has more of historic interest than the sections served by the Coast Line. Here is a land that "fairly recks with history”. Gentlemen of France, Grandees of Spain; Lords and adventurers of Merrie England; pirates and buccaneers; Indian fighters, baronial planters, noted statesmen; the persistent, will-p’-the-wisp forces of Sumter and Marion; the ragged, h\ingry, undaunted armies of the Confederacy. All these have lived and loved and fought and died and left their imprint here. In this section the first English colonies in America were started; France and Spain made futile bids for this great empire. . >, ^ Here are dries and towns that date back to * the dawn of our country's history. Many have known the hardships of occupation by hostile armies. Hardly a cross-roads hamlet but has wit' nessed stirring and important events, or has sent its sons to play leading parts in the affairs of their times. Here the tyranny of George the Third first met with outspoken and organized resistance. Here scores of bloody battles have been fought. These shores have been pillaged by Blackbeard and Gasparilla and other pirates of their day. Into these ports swift blockade runners came, daring the fire of Union fleets, to bring food and munitions to Lee's tattefed forces. Richmond, Norfolk, Petersburg, Newbern, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Augusta, Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick, Montgomery, St. Augustine, Ij'ampa, Bradenton. Each name brings up pictures of the stirring events that ail of theie have seen. And there tie scores of other places where much history has been made. Not the least important event of an eventful century has been the welding of mrire than 100 railroads into the Atlantic Coast line System, serving the six southeastern states and making a reality of that "Great Highway of the Union” which the founders of the Petersburg Railroad envisaged one hundred years ago.
