MONDAY’S FIRE. What the Loss of the Mill Means to -Greenville—Can the Town Afford Not to See it Rebuut, Speman renters The Rercector was not far out of the way in placing the loss caused by the burning ofthe Greenville Lumber know, however, that there was only $10,500 insurance on the entire prop- erty, which was entirely for the benefit of creditors, and this leaves a heavy loss on Messrs. Hines & Hamilton. | Everything was swept so clean that there isno prospect of the mill being| rebuilt, in fact Mr. Hines told us Mon- ‘day evening that all they had was lost and they had nothingto rebuild - with. This isasad calamity unfortunate to the town as well as these gentlemen. The truth of the, situation is that this total destruction of the mill is really a more serious blow to’ Green- ville than the big fire on February 16th shat. destroyed so many of our business houses. The aggregate loss then was far more than now, but it was so di- Avided that the losses did not, fall so ‘ heavily onindividuals,and as soon as insurance adjustments were made re- building started, at once. But in this instance the loss falls uport a single enterprise, and so cripples it that it can- not rebuild unaided. An important question that should be considered is can Greenville afford for the mill not to be rebuilt’? Again, can’t the business men of the town hold out‘such inducements to these gen- t tlemen as will enable them to rebuild their plant. Think for a moment what advantage this. mill has been to the town. By its destruction 65 men are thrown out of employment, and these represented @ weekly pay dll of be tween $300. dnd - $400, A * large | number of the employes were men’ of families, and if the mill is not rebuilt Ri they will have to go elsewhere to find & | employment. And this is not all. Greenville has been dependent largely. upon this mill’ ;|for supplies of ‘lumber to keep its build- ing operations in progress. With this source of supply cut off it is easy to see that the advancement of the town in the way of new building will be retarded. So it is greatly to the interest of Green- ville to take'such steps ‘a8° will secure It necessary let a public meeting be held looking to this end.

Various Articles for the Feminine Ward- robe. : ve While many ladies do not like to or- der their standard suits very early in the season, as, toward the end of April, new styles may appear, they may with perfect safety arrange for all the ac- cesgories and minor items of their wardrobe for the entire summer. The petticoat is an important factor in fashionable dressing. One may have dress skirts made with lighter material for linings and with less bulky and cumbersome fittings than heretofore, provided a suitable petticoat is secured. There are firm and reliable makes of haircloth that stand out. under the weight of all skirts of ordinary fabric. With skirts made on this plan, one well-made petticoat serves for the en- tire outfit for street costumes. These may be in gray or black haircloth, and should be fitted with the utmost nice- ty. For evening dresses a white hair- cloth one answers the same purpose. Silk petticoats are in very general use, although many ladies who have worn them for years are making vp fine, firm qualities of moreen, and like them very much better. There is a certain springiness to the moreen petticoat that one does not find in silk, which, unless very carefully cut, is likely. to wind around one’s ankles and make walking a weariness rather than a pleasure. As to white petticoats, the variety are simply bewildering. Théy remind | one of the old-fashioned christening dress of an infant, such masses of tucks, puffs, ruffles, lace and embroitl- ery are they. There is a fancy among exceedingly dainty women for making petticoats of fine nainsook and finishing them with e single wide hem-stitched hem. An- other favorite model is made on the Spanish flounce idea. Half of the length of the skirt is gored, the re- waining portion being set on of straight breadths. This may have a hem-stitched hem or a plain one with a narpow floupce of lace. In. all cases the hem should: be the ful]. width of the flounce, as it is much more desir- able if the flounce is sewed through more than one thickness of the fabric. While the chemise is a part of ali well-kept underwear stocks, the knit- ted. vest, either in gossamer, silk or wool, is much more generally worn, It absorbs the perspiration, in summer, fits the figure without wrinkles and ir by many thonght ‘to allow of a muyeh better fit of the dhress waist. At all events, it has beeame a standard arti- cle of wear, and 3s so tauch approved that there must ‘be a good reason for its continuance. "The gossamer vest is also worn as a corset cover, and is by many preferred to those made of mus- lin except for dressy wear. Tir bicycle has had much tto do with modifying certain artieles wf apparel. The corset waist and the hygienic waist have be- come so. Ampontant. for, wheelwomen that it is fondly: hoped .that much bet- ter shapes willoe furnished than here- totore. Many of those in wse, while they have points of advantage in bust, waist and hip shapes, have such ex: cbedingly awkward and uncomfortable strap so arranged as to buach opt just above the shouilder blades, absolutely spoiling the figure and suggesting wing bones, which, while they may be desir- able from an esthetic point of view, are not particularly ornamental when they push out into the back of one’s dress waist, Ly Hosiery for the coming season is tc be diyided equally between black an:] colors.
