HE white skirt is the most i'm
portant adjunct OF the summer
costume. Four or fve Of them

dry and provide fresh, cool costumes
for number Of occasions. These skirts

office wear. and have a small but very
mandy little pocket at one side.
Tub silks for winter tailored shirt
waists are selling at the store in Sew
enth, between D and Z streets. for 30
cents the yard. This material is very
wide and in striped patterns, which
make up as very attractive waists. AL
though the 81 and 81 ready-made silk
shirts are good values-if one is in the
habit Of wearing silk shirts, the greater
part Of the time, It is much better 10

by good dressmaker Of this material
A better quality than that OF which the
ready-to-wear ones are made can be
procured. Pongee and crepe also makes
durable waists. Crepe de chine, II
made with the yoke at the shoulders

Bret Harte is considered in England
to be a representative American writer.
Strange to say, people do not appreciate
him and his genius as much on this
side of the water as they do abroad.
But his broad. mastery paintings of
things and times connected with the

go down to posterity as probably the

one OF the most human and delightful
Of the Harte portraits.

n UBURN. ALA, Feb. 3.-With
~ the many athletic activities
the campus these days pre-
sents a busy scene. Each class has
20 or 80 candidates out in an en-
deavor to be in the running for the
class championship The games
this year promise to be better than
ever, as the classes seem very even
ly matched. some being strong in
one department and some in an
other.
Under the efficient training of
the varsity players much football
material is being developed for flu
ture Auburn teams. There Is really
more spirit in the practice scrim-
IMAGES than there is in the fall.
The different classes are out in
force, urging on their representa-
tives, and there is no chance for q
player to shirk with so many inter-
ested pairs of eyes watching every
move.
Only three games are played, and
as there have been many tie scores
records are kept of the ground
gained so that the team gaining
the most ground is declared the
winner should the score be a tie
The first game will be played
February between the seniors and
freshmen on February - the soph-
ignores and juniors VIII have il out
and on February % the champion
ship viii be decided. The grand
finale will come off when the all
class team will play the varsity
men now in college. This will take
place on February 90.
Basket Ball Team Improves.
The basket ball team is rapidly
improving and on its next trip to
Atlanta on February IA il is expect
