The bloodiest fight in Magofhn County's
history took place few days ago about one
mile from SalyersviIle. KY. There were
eight or ten Of the couuty's best citizens
engaged on each side armed with repeating
rides and ravy pistols and the trouble,
which had its inception in trivial matter

battle. Casualties so far as known were:
John Davis was killed BY pistol shot sold

TO herself what she decides suits her. Or
she makes brand new departure for her
self. Thus it is she sets fashions. The mere
woman rushes into Directoire and Empire
and Louis XVI. because Mile Cest sa or
Miss So and So did in the last play and pro-
bably she looks more like fright than ever
thereby. The actress adopts, adapts OF

looks well in it, but another women plungcs
into q fashion because some one else has.
The two pictures given herewith are both
actresses, and show their cleverness in adapt
ing their attire so as to set off their looks tc

the best advantage. The first picture shows
an actress who is really no beauty, but
seems so from her taste in adapting hail
and gown to the style of her face. There is
an emphasizing of ,he brows and eyes, a
central dividing of the front hair to give
needed length of face, and suggestion OF
soft grace by the use of fluffy stuff. The
arms are covered. and the neck Of the dress
is well up over the place where the collar
bones grow, and cut down at the lower cor
ners where it can be done becomingly. AL
though the gown and mode of hair are ap
parently unstudied, yet they are carefully
adapted to emphasize all good points, and
to suppress all that are not so good and are
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1893-01-18

enough to suggest length to a rather square
face, not high enough to emphasize the
squareness by taper effect from the fore
head. She has not very full figure. The
bodice is only slightly low, and the filmy
quality of the tul!e used gives softness OF
outlines. Notice, too, that the catching up
Of the sleeve puff is done toward the front,

,oiffure, are apparently conventional, yet,

A face that permits striking style of hair
and gown is given in the picture. Indeed,
put this girl into conventional dress and
though she might not miss being pretty she
woald miss being the lovely personality
this fashion from the Greeks makes of her.
The outline of her profile is by no means
lmperatively classic. She has adopted this
style, not because she had to, but be-
cause she knew that a woman
who can wear an exacting fashion gets the
more credit for beauty because so few
women can do it. But she has adapted it
all. The hair about her face is cut short,
the soft locks are combed loosely back,
Thus she avoids the hard and trying effect
of closely drawn hair. The knot at the
back is carefully adjusted with reference to
her chin. which is the least bit prominent.
Even her pose" is made with this. fault OF
her face in mind. From the full round
throat one would expect the shoulders barred,
but this is an actress. The maidenly charm
and the suggestion of Grecian days would
be hurt by a modern display of shoulders.
Oh, if the mere woman would only make
up her mind what she dresses for! In other
words, if she would only learn of actresses.

nne prows and the long, dark eyes. The ar.
rangement Of her hair is distinctly conven-
tioual, with the low, soft curls about the
forehead that have so long been worn, and
which she, like wise woman, will wear
much longer, because they so well empha-
size the eyes and brows. Note the showing
