For the last eight weeks has been the center of the local mercantile stage, and the public's interest has not waned for a moment on the contrary, the merits
of the sale became so widely known that it gained momentum as it progressed. The last few weeks will find every one on tiptoe of expectancy, for they
realize that it is our method not to sit down and count the loss when merchandise must be disposed of.
As the time approaches for opening our New Store the necessity for making sacrifices is greater and greater, and we are stopping at nothing. No loss
is too great if it serves our purpose, and that is to open our magnificent establishment at 413-15M7 South Sixteenth, corner Howard, . with a
complete new stock of Furniture, Carpets and Draperies. We herewith quote a few of the bargains offered:

as are used In great factories. The girls
learn to manage a variety of special ma

Wist, 11 ress An., Fuwiiil r.
vidua 11 y Is able. When she has mastered
the full series of preparatory stitches and
sewed most of them Into her own school
apron purposely designed to combine tucks
and ruffles snd almost every device of
needlework the little dressmaker puts it
on and without further ceremony passes
to the order department upstairs. Here
she experiments with ordered underwear
of different degrees of difficulty, learning
to use a machine with all Its complicated
attachments, and progressing gradually
through plain Wash shirt-waist suits to
elaborate summer dresses and at last to a
boned lining. Then she Is ready for the
dressmaking department, where she works
on customers gowns of really eUgant ma
terials under the eye of a dressmaker. All
the actual sewing, trimming and finishing
of ths gowns Is put into the girls' hands.
They do not attempt, however, drafting,
cutting or fitting, except some minor cut
ting from patterns. For It Is not In
tended that they shall make the mistake
of fancying themselves dressmakers at
their age. They are ready when they
leave to enter the best shop In Boston as
asnlstants, and to be a boon to dressmaker
and customers alike. For they really un
derstand every detail of dainty and elab
orate work.
The little milliner, when she has com
pleted her stitches below stairs goes up
to apply tbem to actual, millinery under
the direction of a designer.
There is one branch of the. work which
conies under the bead of no trade and yet
atttcLa all. This Is the training in color
and design. A graduate of the Boston
Normal Art school teaches milliners and
dressmakers alike to match color, to com
bine color stealing her color schemes
largely from the dress or butterflies and
moths how to use watercolor, how to de
sign embroideries, and even whole cos
tumes. They learn to be skillful "copy
ibis," that 1, they can take notes in a
shop, or even on the street of a gown or
hat which would be of juse to them a very
important element In a dressmaker or
milliner's success. Best of all these they
g.t tholr eyes opened to the possibilities,
the artistic possibilities of their work. If
they have any genius . for designing It
comes out, and they begin to feel them
selves In the same profession with Worth
and Vlrot. If they have no genius at
least they avoid the worst calamities in
the handling of line and color.
Four years ago In nearly half the counties
of North Carolina the average value of the
school houses. Including grounds and all
equipment, was less than $70.
.There were 1.000 districts with only a log
school house. There were 1,000 districts
with no school houses at all. In many
caws even the best were ugly and dirty.
In 15 some of the young women of the
state determined to try to remove this dis
grace. They went to work. They organised
g state association. The first meeting was
held at Qreensboro in April of that year.
Neat came county associations, of which
all white women were Invited to become
members. These now exist In nlnety-olx
couniit-s of the state.
Many of thes offer prises to the district
showing the greatest improvement. A typl
eul case is that of Wayne county, away up
in the mountains. Last August the associa
tion in that county offered a prise of 1100,
which was. won by district No. 1.
The district is described In World s' Work
as containing only sixteen families with
children of school age. . There are only
forty children ou tbs census. The everege
attendance for the four months' term was
twenty-seven.
Of the sixteen families all are farmers
and only eight own the land on which they
live. Only one of them has had the ad
vantage of a high school education. Scvn
of them tended only a one-horee farm. Not
a mother In the district had any help except
what the children could give night and
morning.
Here Is the account given by the teachor
of the way the school earned Its prise:
"When we went to the school we found
an old building, the roof of which had re
cently been taken from an old church. The
grounds wore small and cut up with gullies,
covered with trash, leaves and decaying
put them in. By Christmas we had en
larged our yard to about twice tls original
size, taking up twenty-eight stumps. We
leveled the grounds and scoured the floor
and desks.
"We celebrated Thanksgiving day and
gave a free concert Christmas. We gave
a measuring party and festival for the pur
pose of raising money.
"After Christmas we celebrated St. Valen
tine's day, Washington's birthday and
North Carolina day. Ws got up a program
for parents' day and gave another free
concert on the last night of school. To
raise money we had an apron hemming and
an ice cream supper and the young women
of the association made a memory quilt.
"The men of the neighborhood fixed the
yard, built an addition to the house and
made some new steps. The school children
set out the flowers, scoured the floor and
seats-and swept the yard once a month.
"We hired a painter to put two coats of
paint on the inside and outside of the
house. The children were all anxious to
do something to raise money to buy a
picture and some books. Bo one Saturday
we all went to a cotton field and picked
cotton.
"At 12 o'clock we spread our lunches and
later candy was served. We then had our
cotton weighed, received our money, which
was $3.75, and went home as merry and
happy as you please.
"The little -year-old tots worked just as
hard and felt Just as important as any.
All of my school children were small. I had
only one boy 17 years old. All the other
boys were under 12 years. I had four girls
over 12 years of age. All the others were
small, but they all worked willingly and
cheerfully as members of the Betterment
association."
Profession of Letters.
Among the occupations that are open to
women that of writing stories is as alluring
as any, and if one is successful quite as
remunerative. Many come to the editors
with their precious bundles, but few are
chosen. However, there is an element
about it that appeals to ths woman in
whose character is the true ling of cour
age; and she is not daunted by a first or
second or twentieth refusal if she have
faith In herself. A writer on one of the
October magaslnea has an interesting ar
ticle on the subject. "Ths profession of
letters," she says, "presupposes a college
education, yet I have known girls to
graduate from the eighth grade Into the
short-story field, because they found in
spiration and help In the English master
pieces read after working hours. It pre
supposes leisure and elegant surroundings,
a restful environment, and yet one of the
daintiest fairy tales I ever read was
penned by a woman between the time that
she sent five growing girls off to school
and the washing of the breakfast dishes.
I know of no work In which patient, per
sistent effort and study bring such re
wards, because the joy of giving birth to
a new thought Is equaled only by the Joy
of motherhood In her first-born. The writer
draws something more than mere dollars
from the profession of letters. The hap
piness peculiar to congenial work. Intensi
fied by steady mental growth, and the de
velopment of resources within herself
which rescue her from morbidness, lone
liness and selfishness. The successful
writer must draw Information and Inspira
tion from her contact with human nature.
She must know people to write of them,
consequently she Is never self-centered. She
may be egotistical, spoiled by flattery when
success conies her way, but during her
probation she Is dependent upon her fellow-men,
therefore Interested In them, and
so. Interesting herself."
Frills of Fashion.
Soutache braiding is used on nets and
chiffons, as well as upon cloth and velvet.
Silk crochet buttons are revived, and
are to be had In all the fashionable colors.
Chenille embroidery upon silk mousse
line or net Is among the desirable trim
mings. Tartan plaids are finding much favor as
trimmings, and appear in pipplngs, gir
dles, belts, buckles, buttons, etc.
Attractive pony coats of astrakhan, plain
or braided In black, are being shown at
very moderate prices, and similar coats
How Artists Use Lines in Pen and Ink
(Copyrighted, 1904, Herbert Kaufman.)
NflTHEH nlctorlal idea bv Gibson.
jf Last week it was a tragedy, ths
sV I esk before a problem: this week
It is a heart drama, entitled
When Doctors Disagree; or, A
Hopeless Case, and again it is a picture
that stimulates thought; but this time the
interpretation Is not so evident as it was
in ths preceding cases. Different persons
will interpret it in different ways, accord
ing to the spectacles through which they
look at It. This is no fault of the artist,
but a condition that is found In many
great picturee. The artist draws as he
sees er thinks; no two persons see rr
think of the same thing in the same way;
every event has a different meaning for
diverse observers; so every picture means
one thing to one person and another to
another, and It is not to be expected that
every man will see it from the point of
view of the artist or that every one will
understand ths artist's meaning. This is
a picture that will arouse discussion, ami
the interpretation of it that the writer vf
this article ventures to give he does not
insist upon; hs merely throws it out as
the Impression the picture produces upon
him, and he will not quarrel with any
reader of The Bee who sees in It some
thing totally different.
When a bachelor is ill and he has a
pretty nurse, complications are likely to
arise that no amount of medicine and no
physician's skill can cure. The youth in
the bed has a disease of the heart that
the nurse understands, but that is beyond
the ken ( the eminent doctor; his pain
has gone under the gentle ministrations of
the tender hands that have Just btKi
brushing his hair; he Is still weak from
suffering, but something has come into
his life which will bring him to recovery
becauss It has given him something worth
living for.
The girl understands and looks at the
doctor with eyes that say "You know
nothing about this case and might Just
as well go away and leave me alone to
cure It." The doctor is a type, a pompous,
matter-of-fact, vain man, learned in his
own profession perhaps, but his horlson
limited by it. He sticks out his rounded
stomach like a pouter pigeon, stands
squarely upon his spatted boots, raps bis
chin with his gold-rimmed eyeglasses, pro
trudes his lowsr lip, elevates his eye
brows and screws up his eyebrows in
deep thought. He can't understand cer
tain symptoms he has discovered In bis
patient; he would not admit that he is
pusxlsd, of course, but his comprehension
Is not wide enough to take in the com.
plications that face him. The nurse
knows he does not understand; so does
the patient, whoss eyes are lighted by a
love Ore which directs them upon the
ministering angel and ignores the helpless
doctor. Verily it Is a hopeless case, but
if the doctor will leave it to the nurse
the chances are that it will be cured.
This is the meaning of the picture to the
present writer, but, as has been said,
there may be others equally correct.
The picture is valuable to the student of
drawing for the perfect simplicity of Us
Workmanship. The contrast between the
figures of the nurse and the doctor la strik
ing; she Is drawn In soft, slender lines
with a fine pen, he Is drawn with strong,
heavy lines; If with the same pen, It has
been laid on strongly, but ths lines look
as If they had been made with a heavier
pen. Kvery detail of each figure Is In
contrast, a tiny brooch and a slender chain
are her jewelry; a heavy ring and a big
pin are his; her immaculate white pinafore
contrasts with his black broadcloth, her
slender hands with his pudgy ones, her
sympathetic but weak face with his vain
and coarse one.
The patient, unshaven, emaciated. Is but
the wreck of a once strong man. Look at
the pathetic outline of his body and limbs
under the sheets; the nurse has propped
him up with thick pillows and has just
brushed his hair for ths doctor's visit.
The background Is, as it should be, limited
to such details as add to rather than de
tract from the figures a mantelpiece and
dresser laden with medicine bottles and
glasses, sloquent of the length of the bat
tle with death.
The young student should think carefully
of these accessories, for they go far to
making or marring a picture. It Is a safe
rule to omit everything that Is not es
sential or that does not really add to the
picture. Gibson has omitted the pattern
of the wall paper and of the carpet, snd
has merely hinted at the shadows, except
in the foreground, where they were neces
sary for relief.
Next week's picture will be another little
drama of life, built about a romance of
two persona.
of the soft, brown Russian pony skin are
desirable In this season of browns.
Fur stoles are broader than In earlier
seasons, and the cravat, so much liked
last year. Is pronounced out of fashion.
Tulle will be much worn for evening,
and tulle with clien.ile sputs Is the ma
terial for some especially pretty evening
gowns.
Colored gloves have supplanted white
ones in Parisian favor, and tan, gray, or
black long gloves are the correct thing for
street wear.
Some remarkably beautiful trimmings
for morning gowns are in the form of
bands and motifs of crape heavily em
broidered by hand in black.
Heavy, coarse net, gorgeously embroid
ered with gold thread in Egyptian fash
ion. Is made in wide bands which are in
set most effectively in cloth.
Sleeves are little changed In line, but
are a trifle smaller and, on the whole, a
tritle longer than they were during the
summer. They are frequently much draped
and slashed and complicated In design.
Very loose-woven, soft Scotch tourist
suitings, thick, yet light, and showing de
signs of Irregular checks and plaids, are
made especially tor traveling cuuts and
motor coats, and are taking extremely
well.
Grapes are much in evidence upon the
new hats, and most luscious color effects
are obtained In them, for they shade
through many of the fashionable color
ings and are particularly effective in the
browns, purple blues, grays, and greens.
Buttons are simply lovely this year,
and the more one lias of them the better.
There are costumes that depend entirely
upon their buttons tor their beauty One
lovely dress iiad a set of buttons that
rivaled anything ever shown In an art
gallery. The buttons were all covered
with pale blue silk, upon which there
was painted a tiny landscape complete
upon each button.
