FARMERS TO WEAR
COTTOyiLOTHES
Resolution Passed in Con
ference That They Wear
Cotton Garments When
At Work.
ATLANTA, Ga. —Some 400 dele
gates and officials of various branches
of the Georgia Farmers’ Union met in
convention in the hall of the house of
representatives at the state capitol
Monday upon call of the national
board of directors and of the cotton
committee appointed at the recent
meeting held in New Orleans, for
the purpose of discussing and tak
ing action upon the union warehouse
problem and attending to other mat
ters of importance.
It was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic meetings ever held in
the history of the Georgia division.
It was indicative of the growth of
the union in the state and of the
fact that it is an exceedingly live in
stitution.
President J. L. Lee, in calling the
meeting to order, noticed the pres
ence of National President Charles S.
«arrett and called upon him to pre
de, which he did with his usual
,irace and efficiency.
At the outset the ware house ques
tion and other matters were placed
In the hands of special committees
or consideration and report.
One of the most interesting actions
at the meeting was the pas
sage of a resolution providing for
Jie adoption of a uniform suit of
Jotton clothing to be worn by far
mers while at work on the farm. A
‘ommittee will take the matter in
,and for the purpose of perfecting
lie details. If the 3,000,000 members
/of the union throughtout the country
I fall in line with this new movement
'i'.nd provide themselves with working
uits of cotton cloth it is apparent
jiat they will at once create a new
lid important use for their great pro
duct.
Right in line with this action was
{the passage of a resolution by unani
imous vote to insist on and encourage
fthe extension of the uses of cotton
in the manufacture of bags and bag
ging used in covering commercial
packages.
An interesting feature of. the after
noon session was the address of J. P.
Campbell, of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, on the subject of
the agricultural demonstration work

which is now being done by the de
partment under the direction of Dr.
Knapp. Following this address, res
olutions were passed highly commen
datory of Dr. Knapp’s important work
An address by E. Gentry, of Georgia,
along similar lines was also heard
with much interest.
The convention will be in session
today and before it adjourns will
take some action probably on the
question of the consolidation of the
union warehouses, of which there are
now about 100 in Georgia. The ware
house movement is one of the most
important features of the union's
program, and ft is along this line
that the organization’s future efforts
will be most closely watched by the
great commercial interests of the
world.
At the same time with the conven
tion the business agents of the coun
try and local unions over the state
held their annual‘meeting in the
senate chamber for the purpose of
mapping out their 1909 campaign.
They held a verj satisfactory meet
ing, which was presided over by
State Business Agent J. G. Eubanks.

WHAT PARIS DECREES
Made In material* so soft and sup
ple that they could easily be passed
through a ring, and in shades so ex
quisite that they are like flowers tri
their delicate beauty, evening dresses
were never more beautiful than they
are this winter.
Tulle is seen everywhere. White,
black, cream, ruby, violet or green,
over a foundation of gold or silver
tissue; tulle with metallic embroid
eries such as must have been worn
by the old queens of the Orient In
the time of their splendor, and draped
tulle dresses embroidered and re-enri
broidered with heavy incrustations of
gold or silver, and tulle or chiffon of
one color over another tulle of quite
a different shade. Is posed In Its turn
over an underskirt of gold tissue.
This latter style is the newest thing
in evening wear. With evry moy
ment these colors scintillate In the
light and give off first a gleam of
one shade and then a gleam of an
other, which, with the dull reflex of
the gold beneath, reminds one of the
beautiful colors of the setting sun on
a late autumn day.
Paquin Court Dresses.

"Tube Woman.”
The advent of the "tube woman,”
who is the latest creaatlon of the
aria modistes who cater to the ul
tra-fashionable, has made it neces
sary for the corset maker* to invent
new fabric and new designs for the
corsets to suit the prevailing fasn
lon.
In order to abolish all those curves
of beauty which have heretofore been
considered desirable, corsets are now
made of elastic material, extndlng to
xtraordlnary lengths, even down to
;the knee*
The elasticity of the fabric gives
1 comfort to the wearer that, otherwise
| could not be enjoyed and at the same
; time, for the benefit of the mantifae
j turer, increases the cost of such ar
j tides, as Its life Is of very short
j duration owing to the constant and
| excessive strain* upon It. This is an
other extravagance that fashion de
mands, yet It Is accepted readily by
the best-dressed women as a means
to an end. All lines must, be straight
now, back and front.
Evening Dress Sleeves.
Bleeves for evening dresses arc
very varied in style, size and cut.
Those short, little baby sleeves which
never really go out of fashion are
opened up to show the arms, and are
Joined together by strings of pearls
,or tresses of gold thread crossed and
knotted, with two tasselß dangling
over the arm.
Long sleeves are much In vogue
also. They are composed of trans
parent tulle or lace, with an em
broidered flower pattern running up
the whole length of the arm from the
back of tbe hand, where It starts, to
the shoulder.
Very pretty also are these long
sleeves when they are made of trans
parent tulle, with an applique of very
fine lace over them only partly cov
ering the under tulle sleeve.
In contrast to these are the gowns
whose sleeves are conspicuous by
their absence, with shoulder straps
of ribbon or diamond or pearl hands,
and several rows of either pearls or
diamonds or any other precious stone
one prefers falling In cascades over
! the top of the arm, thus showing up
its dainty contours. But prettiest of
them all are those cut In one piece
with the bodice which droop over
the shoulder, like those worn by the
Empress Eugenie when In the height
of her youth and beauty.
SHE KNEW HER MAN.
She (enthusiastically)—"l could
Just die waltzing."
He —“Me too. I could waltz right

A DIRECTOIRE FROCK.
Long languid lines unbroken by a
frill,
Superfluous festoons reduced to nil,
A figure like a seal reared up on
end
And poking forward with a studied
bend:
A'shortlsh seek Imprisoned In a ruff
Skln-flttlng sleeves that show a stint
of stuff,
A waist, promoted halfway up the
back,
And not a shred that's comfortably
slack;
A multitude of buttons, row on row,
Not there for business —merely made
for show,
A skirt whose meagre gores necessi
tate
The waddle of a Chinese lady's salt;
A "busy” toque extinguishing ths
hair
As If a giant hand had crushed It
there—
Behold the latest mode! and writ#
beneath,
"A winter blossom bursting from Its
'sheath.'"
—Punch.
ALL TOO FLUENT.
