REV. 7. R. SEWERS RECEPTION.

The welcome services TO Kew. joseph
Sewer at the First Presbyterian Church
last Sunday night were interesting to a
higl degree and we're thoroughly en-
ioycd by one OF the largest audiences
that ever gathered in the spacious au-
di.orium of that church. Before the
services began the seats we're oil filled
and chairs had to be placed in the
aisles. The pastors and congregations
OF several local churches joined in the
union service to welcome the new pas
tor OF the First Presbyterian Church.
The services wero interesting and i'm
pressiye. Mr.. Sewers sermon was
short, but forceful, and the large num-
ler present who had not heard him be-
fora were impressed with his remarks
and at once formed high regard for
Mr.. Sewer personally. He is young
man and has not been in the ministry
many years. He comes to Augusta
with the very highest endorsements
from those with whom he has been as
ISOLATED in church work and the men,
brrs of the First Presbyterian are con-
graduating themselves upon securing
him.
Mr.. Sewer was born in Greenviile,
Tennessee, but the greater portion OF
his early life was spent in B,istol. a
city near the line OF Virginia. Mr.. Sc
vier graduated from King College in
1898 and then entered upon the career
OF teacher, being for two years prin-
cipal Of the Glendale High School in
Virginia After leaving Glendale Mr..
Seyicr attended the Union. Theological
Seminary in Richmond from which he
graduated in 1903. His first pastorate
was at the Third Presbyterian Church
of Lynchburg, where he remaaaed I'M
til 1907 when he was called to the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church OF Alexan-
dria. II Augusta, Ga, Daily Herald.

Tailored skirts are not so straight
in outline, many showing slashed eff.
fects at the side, and all are made
walking length.
Some have a slightly raised waist
band, so that no belt is needed, while
others show normal line, with a
stitched band attached to the skirt
On others a back panel is attached,
with a modified front edge that ex-
tends towards the front, thus forming
a belt or girdle.

the faces of older as we'll as young
women.
The moderately large hat of felt,
shown in Fig. 2 is faced with velvet
and has a velvet collar about the
crown. A large handsome pompon of
short ostrich tips forms all the trim
ming it needs. This hat may be made
in any good color or combination Of
colors. 1t protects the head and eyes
and is very generally becoming-a hat
to be worn with almost any costume.
We should beware of the "bare-head-
ed" fad that possesses some communi-
ties, as it is very bad for the hair.
Just now more caps for morning and
evening wear are made than for many
years. Nevertheless girls and women
ride about the city and country roads
with the hair unprotected and blowing
about to become loaded with filthy
dust. The hair is naturally oily and
dirt sticks to it. Too frequent washing
makes it brittle and Injuries it's texture
and color, yet there is no other way of
keeping it clean except to protect it
from the dust laden air. In the country
one may wear sunbonnets; those cut
gracefully are as pretty as any head
covering ever made. In the city there
are well fitting soft street hats that
protect the hair and eyes. Mothers
should insist on their daughters wear
ing hats, or caps, to and from school,
as matter of cleanliness. If this pre-
caution is taken, the hair may be
kept clean without literally wearing it
out with washing. Once a month will
be often enough for the shampoo.

us in this breezey way without even
sending a wire, just turned up last
night. Gordon's mad about him. His
father has been dead year, and he Is
just twenty-five"
Good heavens!" murmured the
duchess. Lady Galorey opened her
address book again.
"Gordon's got him terribly on his
mind, my dear; he has forbidden any
gambling or any bridge as long as the
boy Is with US.
Her companion rose and thrust her
hands into the pocket of her tweed
coat. She laughed softly, then went
over to the long window where with
out, across the pane, the early winter
mists were flying, chased by furtive
sun.
Gordon said that the boys father
treated him like king, and that while
the boy is here he is going to look
out for him."
Over her shoulder the other threw
out coldly:
You speak as though he were in
a den of thieves. / didn't know Cor
don's honor was so fine. AS for me, l
don't gamble, you know"
Lady Galorey had decided that Lily's
insistent remaining gave her chance
to fill her fountain pen. She was,
therefore, carefully squirting In the
ink, and she flushed at her friend's s
last words.
Lady Galorey herself was the best
bridge player In London, and cards
were her passion. She did not remind
the lady In the window that there
were other games besides bridge, but
kept both her tongue and her temper.
After a little silence In which the
women followed each her own
| thoughts, the duchess murmured:
'I'll toddle upstairs. Edie-let you
write. Where did you say we were
going to meet the guns for food?"
"At the gate by the White Pastures.
Therell be a cart and a motor going,
whichever you like, around two"

sigh heard the door close behind the
duchess. Wiping her fountain pen

sEv HE two hats pictured here are of
that useful variety known as semi
n dress or tailored hats and are de-
signed for general wear. They
are of substantial materials we'll put
together. They are quite elaborate
enough to harmonize with a dressy
costume and not too much trimmed to
be worn with the plainest of tailored
gowns. Where women do not have oc-
casion to go out great deal, such
hats are the best choice. ("Going out"
in this connection signifies filling So
cial engagements).
1t goes without saying, almost, that
every woman should walk in the open
air for time, every day of her life.
Most Of them do, going about the busi-
ness CT life-marketing, shopping or
getting out to other lines of endeavor.
Very plain hats will answer for wear
in the morning, but every woman
needs tailored hat for church-and
other occasions demanding the proper
attention to her personal appearance.
Women going to and from business
choose the palmer types of tailored
millinery, or rather those made of the
most durable millinery materials, such
as beavers, felts and cloth covered
shapes, with trimming of silk velvet
or fancy feathers.

"reminiscences of eastern Virginia, en-

was timid and unused to passionate
proposals of marriage. "Oh, don't!"
she interrupted in whisper. You
frighten me dreadfully."
Overcome by contrition, the young
man humbly apologized for his fervor.
and painful silence ensued. The
girl broke 1t at last.

smile, II don't think-I-shall-be so
