SIMPLE EXERCISES THAT
WILL CURE INDIGESTION

ANY exercises that work muscles and
cords about the stomach promote dlges-
tion and for this reason specialists at
foreign baths strongly recommend that
no person shall sit Immediately after eat

Part of much continental stomach treat
ment is walking slowly for half an hour,

CORRECT MOURNING COSTUMES
MUST BE CONVENTIONAL

women in mourning wear hats. Still, GER
tain rules in regard to shape must be
observed. Needless to add that nothing
approaching the picture" hat is appro-
pirate. Round modes and sailor shapes
are correct, and are toqueS and medi-
um-siZed turbans.
Qua black chip dull silk and net and
chiffon-covered hats are in good taste,
while fabrics for trimmings are dull
weaves of ribbon. black flowers, birds,
net wings and crepe.
Some authorities claim that ostrich
feathers may be included in the list of
mourning millinery but to my thinking
1t is not good form. Other trimmings
excluded are velvet. satin. satin ribbon
lace and stripes, dots or other designs
in either silk ribbon. The weave must
be perfectly plain.
Dark brown furs may be worn while
in mourning. although Persian lamb and
black furs are more strictly conventional.
Gray furs. such rs chinchilia or sauir-
rel, are admissible when crepe has been
discarded. A ruff of liberty silk chiffon
or plain net may be used as an accessory
and many women approve of an ostrich
feather boa as : finish to a mourning tot
let The gloss, however, is. in my opin-
ion an objection, but marabou might be
a substitute.
Evening Frocks in Mourning.
Evening gowns must be of a simple ma
ture, made from such materials as dull
French wolfe. dul-finisheG grenadine,
crepe de chine and any preferred dull
finished silks.
Dccollete dresses will not he correct
bat Il transparent yoke may be used. The
sleeves should be long, regardless of fash
ion. but not necessarily of the same ma
terial as the frock.
When white is worn for mourning the
entire costume must be of this tone Dur
inS half mourning black accessories. such
as black studs, belts, ties and footwear,
may be added.
In addition to white or white and black
in combination for half mourning, gray
and lavender may be selected. Gray.
trimmed with black. and a black toilet
touched with lavender are in good taste,
but third tone should not be introduced.
A black hat may be worn with a white
dress or the hat may be white. trimmed
with black or lavender, supposing one of
these tones or neither is visible on the
dress Should the gown he entirely white,
then the hat trimming may be the shade
the wearer peaSeS.
Gloves must either be black or white
during the entire period OF mourning.
Black hose and shoes for deep mourning
and gun metal or dull kid for half mourn
ing are correct.

commend the establishing of a
court house in that section. In.
deed, any impartial, fair-minded
man finds little trouble in reach
ing such a conclusion when he
is induced to consider the mat.

Probably no section of South
Carolina needs and deserves
more a court house within its
bounds than does that compre-
hended between Lynch's river

south and between lines con-

A central and otherwise very
suitable location may be had on

proposed area need expect any
benefit except he live in the vi.
