straight down the middle of the back
with invisible hooks and eyes
IT has facing at the hem through
which is run an elastic which is cut
extra small and fastens with a glove
clamp at the back
The fallacy OF this method is that
the elastic continues to slip up when
the arms are raised. especially on a
woman who has not full bust. The
yoke Is better with the elastic out and
with its hem fastened to the corset, back
and front, with tiny safety pins. Again.
the objection to this is that you cannot
fasten 1t yourself in the back snugIy
enough for 1t to stay down.
The third method is to make a peasant
blouse out Of the material with short
sleeves, collar and tight waistband The
distinct advantage of this method is that
such an nnderwaist made OF chiffon cloth.
net or lace keeps the lining of the blouse
from becoming soiled. 1t protects the
neckline and armholes OF the waist from
the OIL and the moisture that exudc from
the skin even on the most clearly person.

ATLANTIC CITY BALD HEADS
SHED HATS; TRY sun "CURE.'

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Juy "a
Somebody started a boardwalk rumor
that sunshine combined with salt
breezes would start hair growing on
bald heads and thousands of bare
polls have appeared in the daily
promenades this week.
Men who formerly hid their shining
scalps under the bushel Of straw hats
are shamelessly exhibiting their bald
ness TO the grinning throngs in their
faithful efforts to test the new cure.
According TO the best authorities,
the new bald head cure" was dis
covered by Tony" Biddle, a Phila-
delphian of pronounced badness who
noticed that hair began to sprout
after he had gone around in the sun
without a hat at his Cheslea summer
home for several days.
He is said to have communicated his
supposed valuable discovery 10
friends, from whom It spread to others
until a full third of the bald headed
men of the resort are trying out the
cure"

Some @
Chick @
.Pick-Ups A
Some one slipped the cog.

Some one slipped the cog.
Just when we wanted them most.
Even at that they were not such bad
games to look upon.
The first inning of each game were
the nerve rackers.
Fritz had Taaffe easy by just turning
around, but instead played Upp at first
and in the collision Bastian dropped
the ball.
Carney is a big man, but Reilly sent
him tumbling. The big man walked
from first to third bag after him and
then walked back.
That collision between Bsstian and
Upp cost a run and also put Upp out
of the game,
Joe Myerk had the crowd with him
from the start. He got three hits, the
last one sending in the winning run.
Moreland's catch of Wehrelps fly
was surely out of the ordinary class.
Speaking of fielding, Matthews also
had his grippers in shape.
Carney famed the first three times
up and hit fly the last time and yet
such batters as be can take games
| from US
Harrisburg and Wilmington are in
the same class when it comes to let
ting runners die on bases. Several
times hits would have made the scores
larger.
Taaffe and Rutherford pulled of
several nifty catches all Of which had
hit labeled all over them.
Fritz takes more chances on the
bags than most Of them. He worked
Fittery for a throw over and in a
] ,Ia ~,
pillow.
Brazell's two-bagger in the third
inning of the second game looked gooc
but it wasn't enough.
Well, history is mostly forgotten
Forget II, and start after Trenton.
What's the matter with Bastian is {
question on the lips of many fans WHIT
have witnessed his playing lately.
That all is not harmony in the vii
mington team was shown in the sec
ond inning of Saturdays second game
II was after Bastian let a runner OF
first base by an error, with two mel
out, which was followed by Brazell'
and Reilly's errors and the two-bas
hit that netted two runs. When Brazel
and There went to the players bencl
they began to wrangle over what hal

sidy. The next instant Brazell got u
and sailed into There. Manager Cas-
sidy tried to separate the clinchin
players and called Patrolman Burn
who was nearby and he and the othe
players separated the two combatantI
Some spectators thought Brazell wa

not the case, as Cassidy's action wa

Death Of Mrs. James A. Whitley.

Glenview, N. c., May 26.-Death
seems sad in all it's forms, but it does
seem sadest when it comes and takes
away our loved ones without mo-
nents warning. And we much re-
yret to say this was true of Mrs.
James A. Whitley.
On Sunday morning the 21st of
this month May the last enemy
that shall be destroyed sent it's angle
and with it's icy fingers clinched the
heart of this noble woman and she
was numbered among the dead. No
one knows when the end came. Her
husband found her dead in bed just
as the daylight was breaking in the
east which told of the return
Of the king Of day, but all in
dications were that had not been ex-
tinct many minutes when it was dis
covered. Although she had been in
failing health for sometime she was
able to do all her work in the house.
She worked all day Saturday making
preparations for her children to at
tend services at Central Cross Sun
day. She retired as we'll as usual
chat night. Heart trouble is sup
posed to be the cause of her death.
Mrs. Whitley was born near En-
field October, 18th, 1873. When
about two years old her parents
moved to this community where
they have since resided. In the
year 1895 she professed faith in
Christ and joined Central Cross
church in which fellowship she re-
NAMED until death. In the year
1897 she was united in marriage to
Mr.. James A. Whitley, of this place,
where they have since resided. To
this union was born 5 children, four
of whom, with loving husband, an
aged farther and mother, two bro
theirs and one sister survive her.
Mrs. Whitley was the oldest daugt-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Williams.
Her death was a great shock to her
people, friends and the community
at large. Her youngest child being
only 10 weeks old makes it the more
sad. She was laid to rest in the
Methodist cemetery Monday, the
23nd, 1920 a. ~. to await the return
of our Lord.
To the bereaved ones we would
say God alone can heal the wounded
heart look to him and he will send
you the heavenly comforter that
will speak peace to your hearts, and
will, dear husband, aid you in taking
care of and rearing your little child
rem in which you are so much inter-
ested. w. D. K.
