The Visitors Score.

ne NISiIOTS SSOfGs
 Manuel was pitted against the young oollegian, and while he pitched well, was not as brilliant as the Traveller But the fielding done by Manuel was simply bril- liant and has never been surpassed on local grounds.
 In the sixth Fullenwider scored the Travellers first run. He opened with single to left, and was sacrificed to sec ond by Cocash. Flood flied to center, and flied safely-the drive being good for two bags. Thus showed Fullenwider regis tered.
 The second run of the visitors was scored in the eighth. Cocash opened with a single. went to second on a wild pitch, and scored on a screaming single by Flood.
 The old veteran, as is seen, hammered both the visitors run across the platter.
 The Barons' Chances.
 The Barons had a chance in the second, when Gygli was safe on an error of Col Iins, and Henline hit safely to the in field. Kane's out to first sent the run ners to third and second, and Bowen flied out to short.
 There was another opportunity in the fifth when Henline opened with single was sacrificed to second, but was able to get no further.
 But the best chance of all was in the sixth Molesworth beat out bunt to the infield, and Ellam, attempting a sacrifice was safe when Fullenwider threw wildly to first. McGilvray sacrificed the run ners to third and second. There was no fly in Raftis bat however, and he went out easily to Tarleton. Gygli flied short ly to left, and it looked for while as if he had delivered. But splendid run and a sensa tional stab sent the hearts ot the fans into their boots again
 It was then practically all over. No other chances presented themselves, and the shadows fell with Little Rock one more game to the good.

The Travellers came to town and took the first game of the series yesterday by score of to o.
 The whitewashing of the Barons is due to several causes, chief among which is the excellent brand of pitching submitted by Fullenwider, and the sensational sup port rendered the slabman.
 For Tarleton stabbed with his gloved hand a rising drive off the stick of El- lam which was headed directly for the top of leftfield fence, and a splendid running catch of Cooash took the props from under couple of runs that had crossed the nan

CoIored Umbrellas Are Favored.

Colors in umbrellas are fashionable
this year, and dark red, dark green.
taupe and odd looking grays are the
most popular. Black is always in good
taste, but if one has a gown that will
harmoniZe with dull looking old rose
or the catawba shades these tints in
umbrellas, mounted with long handles
decorated in gold, silver or ivory, can
be secured.
Mother-of-pearl handles OF insets are
entirely out of favor, ivory having su-
pcrsedcd them, and some of the tops of
handles are carvings Of ivory for the
depth of six and eight inches
The correct size this year for women
is twenty-siX inches, and the rod and
ribs of steel are so very fine that when
the umbrella is closely rolled it can
scarcely be distinguished from a walk
ing cane.

ARE YOU ENeAGED7
The Long and Short Route to the
Altar

Altar.
What lot of ululation there is about
engagements-long or short. Put ii
down quick that all depends on the
interested pair. Two well meaning
mothers sat on porch one day watch
ing their idols pick cherries. The idols
were boy and girl, respectively. The
mothers decided unanimously that the
cherry pickers should marry when they
grew up. When the precious pair came
down the tree with stains all over
their faces they were duly informed
that they were betrothed. They didn't
know what that meant BY the way,
the good old word seems TO have gone
out of business. In roundabout
way the youngsters found the defini-
tion of the word. When they did, to
ring in an inelegant sentence, it was
rubbed into them good and plenty
Their homes were far apart, and often
there were long stretches of time be-
tween their meetings. But as often as
they looked into each others face
they were reminded that they were
"betrothed." School days ended, and
the girl had her coming out. The boy
was having his going out. There is
mighty heap Of difference between the
two. The girls coming out over, she
went into retreat. That was not nat
ural. 1t was her mothers fault. She
had told all the boys and girls in the
village that Sallie was betrothed. A
kitten without claws has no more
chance to climb tree than has a be-
trothed girl to get attention from
young men in village.
But the mothers of the boy and girl
I'm this story kept at It. They talked
about betrothal until the word was
frazzled at both ends and flimsy in the
middle. Although the boy and girl did
not see each other as often as former
ly, they believed they were tied in
some way in q hard knot. But time is
famous undoer. The imaginary
string was unloosed. The boy went
out from home and never came back.
He died dyspeptic bachelor. The
girl grew wrinkles. Maybe somewhere
the sun was shining, somewhere the
birds singing, but not for her. The
road which began at the cherry tree
ended in the bramble patch. When
her obituary was written the prefix
Miss" was just where II was when
the printer first set it up.
1t is a crime in this flying machine
age to bark back to your father and

Newest Fashion Notions.

Short, narrow directoire coats with
capes are new and have q picturesque
effect madesin satin and worn with
satin hat having a domed crown.
Blouscs now fasten in front, and
those who wear linen collars fasten
them at the back, jabot finding a
PLACE in front.
Braiding which entirely covers the
fabric is one of the revivals, the braid
being set in waved lines.
Some Of the new skirts are cut to
lnstep in front and trained at the
back, and so many of the coats are far
longer at the back than the front.
Long bead necklaces of coral or
large cut beads are much in vogue.

majority Of homes in this fair country
and arrange for a confidential chat
with the old pair that sit In the cor
ner you would find that they didn't
wait so very long and they did not
stop to work out the problem as to
where they were going to get their

In long engagement are not numer-

suddenly uncovered after marriage
may be Strengthened out. Among well
meaning people there are always rea-
sons why mistakes should be correct
ed. When blunder is made by hus-
band and wife they can get together by
their own radiator and make conces-
slons which they would not have made
when they were simply engaged. A
wife or a husband will confess to q
fault where the engaged couple would
go off to interfering people, who under
the guise of friendship would close the
gates of paradise against all comcrs.

such a girl. If she has such trait
she has 1t honestly. Ever since Eve
took counsel from snake it has been

take the wrong road and, not satisfied
with going that way themselves. they
are not serene until they induce others
