ST think" she says, 'that trouser-
cites should have been adopted
when skirts were so tight and pulled
up so decidedly as the wearer sat
down. Trouserettes would have been
more becoming than the gay stock
ings on the lower limbs"
She gives some interesting history
of the new fashion as it was in her
girlhood.
Seventy odd years ago. she says,
"pantalettes were all the style. Mems
breeches were called pantaloons, and
women's garments to match were
called pantalettes. The same rela-
ton presume exists today between
trousers and trouserettes.
Gas far back as can recolent my
mother dressed me in pantalettes. My
nurse was very particular to keep
the trimmed ones for dress-up and
Sunday wear. The ladies' trouser-
cites we're finished at the knee with
a double hem to hold the buttons
firmly, and the pantalettes were
made of cambria OF linen and trim
med according to the taste of the
wearer with buttonholeS to meet the
buttons.
my mother fashioned hero in that
way, but mine were solid from waist
band to button, until grew large
enough to make my own supply of
pantalettes.
81 lived at time in early youth
when ladies used to wear eight or
ten stiff petticoats to give proper ex-
pansions. l lived also when hoop
skirts were mammoth in dimensions.
l have lived to see fine dresses skin
tight and then spread to full length
as a peacock's tail spreads in full
plumage in a way possible only to
our peafowl species and female van
ity.
81 am very much in favor of young
women wearing trouserettes."

Der of the state legislature from
Pickens county and prominent
citizen Of Easley, narrowly es-
capped death at the Easley depot
Thursday morning when he
was struck and knocked from
the railroad track by south
bound passenger train No. 80.
He sustained several small cuts
and bruises on various parts Of
his body, caused by the coarse
gravel on which he fell, and
three toes on his left foot were
badly mashed by the engine
wheels. The wounds received
by the accident were immedi-
ately attended to bv Drs. G.. N.
Wyatt and Fl. e. Russell. While
the injuries are painful they are
not considered serious.
MIR. MCCravey was crossing the
track when hit. Other trains in
the yard were making SO much
noise he did not hear the incom
ing train and the view of the
main track was also cut off by
trains in the yard.
Many people witnessed the ac-
cident and all thought sure Mr..
McCravey had been killed. His
escape from death is almost mi
raculous and his many friends
in the county are glad indeed
that his injuries are no worse.

Death of Miss Lucy Garvin

Sorrow came into the hearts
of Central and the surrounding
community when it was an
nounced that Miss Lucy Garyin
was dead. On Monday, July
rs, just at the setting of the sun,
her spirit took it's flight. For
several months her health had
been failing, but about a week
before her death she was taken
critically ill and all that skilled
physicians and loving care could
give availed nothing. Death
came as a relief to her suffer
ings, but brought bitter pain
and sorrow to the ones left be-
hind. Hers was a beautiful life,
filled with love and service to
the home, the church and
friends. Gentle, modest, refined
and unselfish she endeared her
self to all who knew her, but it
was in the home and to those
who knew her best that her
LIGHT shone brightest. She pos
sessed to marked degree that
Charity that thinketh no evil"
and never criticised the faults
of others but sought to find the
good in all. In the likeness of
His spirit she lived on earth,
and we feel she is only translat-
ed to His presence. Her funeral
was conducted at Mt. Zion
church the day following her
death, by her pastor, Rev. j. @,
Bailey of the Presbyterian
church assisted by Rev. Eizie
Myers Of the Methodist church,
the interment folio wing in the
cemetery of that church.
She leaves, to mourn her
death, her mother, Mrs. Eta
Garvin, three sisters, Mrs. j. J..
Thode, Mrs. w. j. Werner.
Mrs. d. P. Montgomery, and
a brother j. B. Garvin besides
hosts Of relatives and friends.
| The heartfelt sympathy of all
goes out to the family and espe.
cially to the immediate home
