nounce that sapphire blue had gone
out Of fashion for net wells But it
would not be true.
1t is still worn over too many
faces whose pallor and lines it
heightens. Youth can dare much, can
experiment far, but why, why, should
the woman past the 30-year milestone
wear a blue or green net veil?
Gray, the soft cloud tone, is quite
in favor 1t has a charm of its own
and rests well on hat and head, no
matter what the color; but it makes a
pale face CHASTITY. Of course, palIor
is the fashiOn-With crimson lips and
brilliantined hair-but the skin is far
from being fashionable or becoming.
But where the skin is fresh where
one can see plenty of good red blood
going through the veins, there the
gray veil has it's place.
Because green in an excellent color
for outing when in sewing silk or
grenadine, is no reason that it should
be allowed in net 1t is pretty in
the former material, draped from the
hat, but it is impossible in open mesh,
pulled tightly against the skin.
Brown is good when very pale in
tone in wide, open mesh, but it is
quite out of first style when made OF
heavy dotted net, edged with friIls Of
lace and ribbon and covered with
flowing designs.
Much has been said about the fash
ion of the extra long fancy veil
caught in a full bunch at back of
net, and hanging in cascades down
the back; its wear is almost confined
to faddists those who always do
the last thing, whether or not it
suits them.

Adjusting a Veil

The fact that some women put or
their hat and veil first and the resi-
of their clothes after-going into
them feet first-is a straw to show
how important is this part Of the cos
tune.
One moment, until l put on my
veil, is not the cry of the modern
careful woman. If it is rightly adj
justed she takes more time to il
than any other part of her costume
except her hair.
First, 1t should be plenty large
The centre of it should be pinned tC
the crown trimming
The ends should then be carefull<
caught at top OF hat in the back
while the lower edge should be draw
snugly around the neck just under
the chin, and tightly caught through
the hair at nape of neck.
The sides should be drawn up on
an even, straight line to brim, then
securely fixed with all stray ends
tucked away.
Sounds easy to do; but judging
from the majority Of results, it is
difficult
One thing is true; it can't be done
without hand mirror.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hea~ing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused, by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
TANNED condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

FANCY SHOES AND
DEMURE VEIL s
Continued from Page One. !

demure veil is the proper thing.
What is known as square-mesh is
the design preferred. This is woven
of gray and black, or white and black
threads to form an almost invisible
plaid over the face
1t is not accumulated by dot or
cross stitch. Above all, there is a
notable omission Of dragonfy or sea
serpent in startling color, trailing it's
length from pompadour to brooch
All is as it should be, ladylike, Sc
date and dignifed.
When ornamentation is used this
season it is in the form of salt and
pepper sprinkles on a plain surface.
The specks are so close together and
are so small that there is little shad-
ow cast on the face.

SOUTH CAROLINA
TO VOTE TO-DAY
ANSELL LEADS FOR GOVERNOR.
BUT SENATORIAL FIGHT
is CLOSE.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 24.-With
The state democratic primary on for
tomorrow, interest centers in the SEN
atnrial and gubernator.al contests.
In the senatorial race, the guesses
of the wise ones are that +. ID. Smith
and either II. Goodwin Rhett, George
tombstone or ex Governor John Gary
Evans will be in the second race. 1t
is worthy OF note that nearly all OBJ
servers are of the opinion that Smith
will lead the ticket in the senatorial
race. With the farmers he is espe-
cially strong, having had a great part
in the organization and success of
the South Carolina branch of the
Farmers Union Rhett is admitted to
have the better class vote Of Charles
ton and large part Of the low coun-
try tombstone and Evans will, in the
opinion of the politicians, fight it out
for the Piedmont vote. Colonel w
w. Lumpkin, John p Grace and the
Hon. o. Il. Marin are generally con
sidered in the also ran" class and but
little attention is paid their efforts,
save in so far as they affect the
chances of the four leaders. This is
especially true as regards John p.
Grace, who has based his candidacy
on bitter fight against Mayor Rhett,
Colonel Lumpkin is running on a
statewide prohibition platform.
Governor Ansel seems to have the
advantage over CcIe l.. Blease, of
Newberry. his opponent for the guber-
Material nomination, the estimates as
TO his plurality ranging from $4,000
TO $4,000 The newspapers OF the
state, with one exception, oppose Mr.
Blease.

INCREASE WAS
VERY SMALL ONE
TOTAL INCREASE IN TAX RE-
TURNS OF GEORGIA WAS
1926, 1879.

ATLANTA, Aug. 24.-The Atlanta
Constitution, in a compilation today,
says that the returns from all of
the LAG counties in Georgia show
total net gains over the returns of
1907 of $8,296,139.
Ninety-eight counties show increases
over the returns of last year aggre
eating $14,650,395, while 4S coun-
ties show losses of $6,354,256, giving
the net stated.
The tax digests from a few of the
counties have not yet been received
at the Office of the comptroller gen
eral, and in these which are indicated
below by stars, the Constitution has
secured estimates direct from the tax
receivers. These estimates apply to
only five counties; Dougherty Greene,
Mcintosh, Sumter and Troup. In all
of the others accurate figures are Civ
en- direct from the completed digests.
Before the. total net increase in
Georgia tax returns over those of 1907
can be arrived at, it will be neces-
sary to deduct the decrease which will
be shown this year by the corporations
which make their returns direct to the
comptroller general. Captain Wright
estimates that this decrease will be
somewhere between 100000 and $4,-
100000, from which it will be appar-
ent that the net gains for all property
in the state over last year will be
about $5,OO0,OOO, or, possible, slightly
less.
