VeiIings Are Active.

The demand for veilings, MEETINGS
and chiffons in black, navy, brown and
tan have shown special activity of
late. Exclusive patterns in elastic
wells have been taken very freely by
the retail trade, and recorders in some
cases have been even larger than the
original bookings. In designs the
hand-run butterfly and spray effects
have met with very satisfactory re-
suits.

Trimming Dark Silk.

There are precious few women who
can get along successfully without a
dark silk frock for hot weather wear
in town. But the big problem is, how
trim this more or less tailored silk, so
that it will look finished and yet not
be conspicuously decorated? And
very appropriate and charming solu-
ton is the novel use of open-work en-
broidery shown on many an exclusive
dark silk. A navy taffeta for instance
is decidedly more fetching thing for
a biz of velvet decoration.

Age Counts.

Two very dirty little youngsters
were standing in front of the hfonu-
ment betting the other day. Finally
one of them said 81 bet you a nickel
I'm dirtier than you are"
The other little fellow, whose bets
on his prowess had been large and Wig
orouSly made, was confused for a few
minutes. Finally he admitted well,
you ought TO be. You're older than
am. aren't you?'-Indianapo News.

Another Use for concrete

In the novel restoration of the foun-
dation of a wooden trestle at Port
Angeles, Wash, piles dangerously
eaten by teredoes were REINFORCED BY
concrete covering, interruption of
traffic across a bridge 1000 feet long
being thereby avoided. Forms six feet
long and two feet square inside were
placed around the old piles and were
filed with concrete during the eight
hours of lowest tide. For greater
height of concrete the forms were
raised for further filling.

Scorch Marks.

If not too severe scorch marks are
most effectually remedied by soaking
the part in cold water and exposing
to the rays of the sun. moistening
afresh as 1t dries, until the blemish
disappears.
To remove scorch from linen, put
two ounces of fuller's earth into a
saucepan, add half an ounce of white
soap, the Juice of two large onions
and one cupful of vinegar. Boil to-
gether for a few minutes strain into
jar, and keep covered for future
use. Spread on the scorched parts
with a knife and allow 1t to dry on.
The stain will soon disappear. If the
garment is scorched with ironing, rub
a lump of dry starch on the mark.
Then sponge it off. Repeat till the
yellow disappears.
lron-Mod and Dry-lnk Stains.
Iron-mold and dry-ink stains may be
removed by placing the stained mate
rial in hot solution of salts of sorrel
or salts of lemon, and leaving it to steep
until they disappear; or by placing the
stained part over a basin and pouring
boiling water through to moisten the
stain, which enables the chemical ac-
ton to take place more rapidly. Then
q small quantity of salts of lemon or
salts of sorrel should be placed on the
stain and rubbed firmly in, and boiling
water again poured through. If the
first application does not remove it,
the process must be repeated. If the
iron mold is due to old iron rust, neth-
er of the aforementioned chemicals
may remove it successfully. A pinch

Mine Sweepers at Work,

Mine sweepers are ships that dis
cover and sweep up explosive mines
that are put into the sea in time of
war for the destruction of enemy
ships. Usually two small vessels work
drag mine cable. one end of which
is on each ship, the middle part of
the cable being suspended at the
proper depth from floats. The mines
are caught or exploded by the cable.

Sports HandkerchiefS.

Sports handkerchiefs may be said
TO be bit lurid. Some Of them have
dared to be made of bright plaid lin
ems, green and blue plaid being among
the favorites. Other sports handker-
chiefs are in plain bright colors with
hand-rolled hens whipped in either
white or black threads, with blocked
monograms also in white or black.

q Il .
Cleo Balcntine Hughes, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Henry Balcntine,
entered the portals Of the Celestial City
Thursday, January 9th just as the sun
was sinking over the western hills.
She had nurScd her family through
influenza and she took the disease
from which she died within a few
days. She was married to Alfred Is.
Hughes on August 10. 900. She was
converted and Joined the church AT
Harmony when Rev. n. G. Bethca was
pastor Of the Marlborough charge and
remained a faithful member till the
time Of her death. She loved her
church and would talk 50 much about
what she wanted to do She was al
ways glad to have her pastor to visit
her home. She was Of quiet dispo-
Sition and always did hcr duty. She
gave herself freely for her family.
Cleo was only 2S years Of age and
we sometimes think, why was she talk
on so early in life, when we thought
there was so much for her to live for,
and the little children needed the care
of a mother so much. But God never
makes mistake "And not now, but in
the coming years we will understand" ;"
On Friday, January 10th, the funeral
services were conducted by Rev. j. B.

brother, who is now In France, and a

FORMER Laurens Girl, Now n Trained

| A'hhhcI huuTcnS Ulru, NOW n Trained
Nurse, Meets Old Friends at lie Mans.
How former Laurens girl and
members of the Thirtieth division had
happy meeting in LIE Mans, France,
Is told OF in an interesting story car
rled in The Anderson Daily Mail last
week, the girl being Miss Ethel Mel
son, sister Of Mrs. Marion j. Simpson,
Of this city, who lived here with rer
uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. G.
NC Daniel, before going to Anderson to
become trained nurse. Miss Nelson,
IN letter to friend at Anderson, tells
or this happy experience, the clipping
from the Anderson paper being as fol-
lows:
How would you feel if you had been
IN the army for about IS months, and
mad been on overseas service for near
~ a year. and during that time had
only seen thousands and thousands Of
khaki-clad soldiers, and then after the
armistice was signed, be comparative-
~ loose, seeing lots of French wo-
men, pretty perhaps, but who could
not get your line OF chatter, and
then, when you were almost in de-
spa1r, run across a real live, dyed in
the wool, American girl and recog-
nize her as a lil'ole pal you'd known
all your life from Anderson, S. c.?
Oh, Boy, amt it grand and g-l-o-r-
i-o-u-s feeling!
'Snph tho 20
ber Of Anderson boys at Lc Mans,
where the Goth Division was station
ed preparatory to embarkation, when
they met Miss Ethel Nelson, former
ly Of Anderson but now a member Of
the American Red Cross. Miss Mel
son enlisted in the American Red
Cross and sailed for France some
time ago, and strange to relate one
or her first stations was at O. Chateau
at lie Mans, and the troops among
which she was at work was her own
l1Sth Infantry Of the 30th division.
Miss Nelson is just the sort Of girl
that the Anderson boys would like
most to meet away off from home.

popular young ladies, known to
large part Of the 118th Infantry, as
Bobby" a nickname adopted by her
friends when she was in Anderson
attending school. She went into
training at Anderson county hospital
and was a favorite while in training
and developed into splendid, com
petent nurse, and had little difficulty
in entering the service Of the American
Red Cross.
Miss Nelson, in a recent letter to
Miss Zenobia Welch Of this city.
tells Of her meeting with the 3Oth
Division and of some Of the boys
whom she met on the streets Of lie
Mans and who visited her there.
"Her descriptions Of the country and
the people were extremely interest
ing.
According to Miss Nelson's letter,
I the 3t0h Division had already pro
cccded to the port Of debarkation to
await sailing orders when her letter
was written"
