and the hundred and one other things
that are called accessories in order that
she may impress her women friends or
inspire envy in the casual woman who
passes her in the street. This is proved
by the fact that a woman wears her
best clothes when she goes out of her
home and reserves old and soiled gar
monts for use when she is with her
husband and family.

MOTHER LOVE.

THERE had been much important
legislation since the assembling
of the Children's Congress in ses-
sion extraordinary. SO important that
little brows were furrowed with deep
lines and shoulders were bent with the
burden of care
The little delegates had been so pre-
occupied by the gravity of legislation
that must be kept secret from elders
at home; their sleep had been so dis
turbed and their appetites so precari-

with three times the usual amount of

And, as President Chauncey Devere
Appleton once wisely remarked, it is a
sad commentary on the intelligence Of
parents when the brooding of the child
over problems of national import is

What Do You Think of It9 For Whom Do Women
Dress? Asks Gaby Deslys

to please me. Now she dresses to please
others, not other men. but other wom-
en-. BY her clothes she shows all her
friends that she has not picked a matri-
monial lemon, and this adds to her i'm
portance in her womans world. But
it's rough on the man who foots the
bills. "DISGUSTED,"
That is certainly a difficult situation
and one that no outside person can ad-
wise on. AS | have said, no French
woman would be careless enough to let
her husband notice that she no longer
dresses entirely to please him. She
would have too much vanity to let any
man see her when she was not looking
her best
If she wore her good frocks only
when she went out the average French
husband would become suspicious, but
of that there is never a question in this

cons and women's teas where men are

buy things like that. They want to sat
isfy their own vanity first and then get
all the admiration they can from both
men and women. All this adds to the
cost of high living and almost every
girl wants to dress above her station
in life
Il think that the stage is to blame.
Women don't dress either for men or
women-they dress for their own pleas

Do you know, | think that this man.

generally dress to please themselves.
BUT StllI IL II were tnaI alone, would

Would they make themselves absolute

EDNEYVTLLE
GOOD ROADS
SITUATION

DR.. L. B. Morse, who attended the
good roads meeting at Edneyville Sat
urday, reports that sentiment is
holding favorably for an issue OF
$4,000 of bonds for road building in
Edneyville township.
DR.. Morse states that although the
citizens of the township are heartily
in fayorof better roads and the issu-
ance of bonds, there is a slight divis-
sion as to the apportionment for the
the various roads as set out in the pc
tition.
At the meeting Saturday the origi-
ma lpetition was abandoned and a COM
mittee composed of one man from each
township was appointed to meet next
Saturday at Edneyville for the pur-
pose of formulating a new petition in
which the appointments will be
changed somewhat from those set out
in the old petition.
There is understood to have been
some dissatisfaction among the peo-
pie with regard to the commissioners
mentioned in the petition to handle
the road funds. The petition to be
framed Saturday will not include the
SOAAAhA004OA 4OoC0A WA6CONO1 III "
the purpose of selecting the choice of
the people to handle the financial end
Of the good roads work a mass meet
ing will be held at Edneyville on Sat-
.urday, May "a. All the taxpayers of
the township are urged to attend this
meeting and participate in the selec-
ton of the road commissioners.
DR.. Morse, who would not be insult
ed at being dubbed a good roads crank,
was the only citizen from Henderson
vile. He was repeatedly called on at
this meeting by the Edneyville people
for some good roads expressions,
which were listened to a~ttentively. Dr..
Morse is optimistic over the outlook
for good roads in this section and en-
tertains no doubt about the issuance
of ST. 900 of good roads bonds by Ed
NEVILLE township. One of the doc
strong slogan is that: Yankees
will not come here to stay without
good roads and steam-heated hotels"

OTIS PACE DIES
So --.- -
IOF ACCIDENTAL
PISTOL SHOT

Otis Pace. one of the two victims of
an accidental pistol shot in the Tuxedo
section on the Sunday afternoon of
April %, died Wednesday morning as
q result of complications arising from
the wounds in the left side of the four
t~een-year-old boy.
Otis is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. l..
Pace. He is survived by three sisters
and two brothers, being preceded to
the grave by a sister, who died ten
days before the boy received the shot
wound in his side. Interme1t was
made in the family burying ground
this week.
Horace Capps, aged II years who
was holding the pistol when it dis
charged, was wounded in the left
hand. His injuries are not consider
ed serious.
The boys are understood to have
been playing in the field with a pistol
which the Capps boy had taken from
his home. He was displaying to his
associates his "cap buster" as he
termed it with the result that his de-
monstration cost him considerable
pain and mental anguish and the life
of one of his best friends.

Polk County VIII Soon Begin Work on
Observation-Disclosures High.
way and Then Henderson County
VIII Perhaps Get Busy.
Hon. W. A. Smith. who was in Polk
county last week, stated to a repre-
sentative of this paper that the road.
commissioners Of that county were
preparing to begin work on the Spar
tanburg-Hendersonville highway be-
tween Tryon and Saluda at an early
date
Polk county's 100000 road bonds
were sold Monday and it is the purpose
of the road authorities to take up work
as early as possible on the main high
way through the county, thus opening
the gateway of the south to the noun
tain land.
The proposed good roads in Polk
county will necessarily put Henderson
county in an embarrassing position
unless it completes the approximate
four-mile stretch between Tuxedo and
the Polk county line at Saluda. This
road cannot be built out of the county
bond issue of $4,000 to be sold on
May 10. The citizens of Green River
have not joined in the good roads
march of Hendersonville, Hoopers
Greek and Edneyville townships.
An effort will be made to stimulate
the citizens of the township to the inn
portance of taking up the good road
question.

To SIeen I'D a Tree.

A rather unique arrangement for
outdoor sleeping can be een in the
form of a platform erected in a large
oak in the real grounds Of Killarney
on which is a tent large enough to ac-
comodate two cots and two chairs,
making comfortable quarters for two
persons. The arrangement was per-
fected by Harry f. Williams, who,
since his a~f1Iiation with the Boy
Scouts, has developed a strong liking
for outdoor life and being of a natur-
al mechanical turn, he conceived the
idea of a tent in the tree.

f PATTON
MADE ROAD
SUPERVISOR

The Henderson county road superVi-
sors in session last week appointed
p F. Patton general road supervisor
n succeed George w. Justice, resigned.
It will be recalled that upon the or
e~anization of the county road forces
Sva a ago Mr.. Patton was made
snpervisor, which position he filled un-
iii two years ago, when he was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Justice.
Since the organization of the road
forces, wonderful progress has been
made in this county in thesmatter of
GOOD roads building, Practically
Eothing of a substantial nature had
heen done in the county until a chain
sang was o~granized, machinery
purchased and many other mat
ters in this connection attended to,
A tax levy of 20 cents was levied for
the maintenance of the road force, but
for some reason this was reduced con-
siderabIy within ayear OF so. Mr.. Pat
ton pushed the work to a considerable
extent as a result of which some ex-
cellent road work was done in the
county at a most economical cost. The
good roads work continued when Mr..
Justice took charge until today the
road situation in the county is no eye
sore, to say nothing of approximately
5000, 900 that will be spent in the
ty within the next few years in the
building of better roads.
Mr.. Justice was not a candidate for
re-appointment and the work was
placed in the hands of Mr.. Patton
without any persistent solicitation on
his part.
Mr.. Justice will hereafter devote his
full time to his engineering work.
Mr.. Patton makes no definite an
nouncement as to where the chain
gang force will be located after COM
Dleting the road on which they are
now working. Various communities
are asking for work and influences are
being brought to bear to ave some
work done on the Horse Shoe road.
The Importance of finishing the road
connecting with Polk county has not
been overlooked, but definite an
nouncement has not been made with
regard to working this road. Efforts
are being made to induce the people OF
Green River township to issue bonds
the completion Of the remaining
bad link of the Observation-Disclosures
tanburg highway and it is understood
that the tax payers are greatly inter-
ested in the undertaking.

The skirts are usually gored or for

front and If so desired are conserva-
lively slashed.
Don't you love those adorable little
English shocked frocks of challies or
soft cashmere, or for very best wear Of
crepe de chine, silk or albatross? An
altogether fascinating shocked dress
had a long WASTED blouse over n wide
sash, with flowing ends. Three deep
tuckS were carefully made above the
wide hem on the diminutive skirt. Turn
down collar and cuffs matched the sash.
Blue serge, the material which has
frocked school girls so many years, is
after all first choice for the hard serv-
ice dress. A smart touch was given to
| a blue dress by the sash in Revolution
| airy striped silk. The skirt was slightly
| draped in front and the waist had the
yoke and sleeves in one. The sleeves
we're neither full nor tight, just com

| to match the red in the sash were
smaller batiste collars and cuffs.
The coats of the misses tailored
suits might be termed "un-tailored,
there are so many novelty touches
added. Thirty-six inches is conceded to
be a good coat length. Loose box, or
long wasted blouse coats are the most
becoming to slim figures. q
Party and dancing dresses are of
chiffon. crepe or lace trimmed with
artificial flowers. No dress is complete
these days without sash. 1t may bs
