Due West grovelled in the dust at
the feet of the Abbeville High foot
ball team Friday afternoon on the
athletic field when the locals got
sweet revenge for past defeats by
winning their second game of this
season by score of 32 to 6.
Two of these touchdowns were
made by the second team of the Abb
beville school which Coach Sweten-
burg substituted for the regular team
when he saw what easy pickings Due
West was. Had not the storm cloud
broken up the game in the last half
of the quarter Coach had "Mary"
Neuffer and Jim Owen of the second
grade team ready to put in as ends

against the Goliaths of the Holy City.
All of the Abbeville boys played
excellent ball in the first half and it
would be hard to bestow the laurels
en- any particular players. The red
headed quarter for Due West played
the best game for the visitors. Some
Of the spectators suggested that Due
West had superior material to Able
vile and as soon as the visitors once
get their uniforms dirty they should
put up a scrappy game but Friday
the uniforms were too immaculate for
them to take any chances by getting
down in the line so near Mother
Earth.

the worlds famous screen actress
Mary Pickford-in fact among her
associates Of the circus she is known

feats accomplished by this little Miss
is the graceful execution of all mod
ern ballroom dances now in vogue.

and Bessie Hollis, both equestrienne
stars whose beauty adds greatly to
their truly wonderful exhibitions of
riding. Another of the Sparks galary
of pretty women is Minnie Thompson
Americas greatest horsewomc: and
whose likeness has graced the pages
of many Of the leading magazines
and Horse Show publications. Miss
THOMPSON will introduce Caesar,
Champion high jumping horse of the
World at both performances in this
city and an attempt will be made to
lower his own record CT T feet 4
inches. CT coa:cse there arc many
other beautiful women With the

at Erskine didn't actually deny that
the Due West team was not Erskine's
outfit but simply said he didn't know.
We imagine that Miss Wideman,
superintendent of Due West schools
must feel pretty small herself when
she gets that football team to the
board in algebra for they are the
biggest high school boys ever seen
in a game here.
Next Friday the locals. are going
to be up against it for Anderson is
to be here for a game and they know
football in that town and anybody
who fails to show up for the Ander-i
son-Abbeville game is going to miss
a real scrap.

With Women Shooters
HINTS ABOUT STYI FS NOVEL TIES ETC
Summer Frocks in Lovely Models.

Perhaps 1t is because we have en-
dured such a long winter and had TO
wear dark, heavy clothes for SO long,
but 1t seems that the wash dresses
for spring and summer are more
charming than usual this season. !
predict that when pleasant. warm
days come they will come to stay.
and 1t Is evident that local mer-
chants think the same. for they have
racks full Of lovely frocks for one to
jump into at the first sign Of the
sun.
Variety is tho keynote Of the
dresses. not only in colors but in
styles as well. Every light color and
every shade of light colors are shown
and combined. Voiles, linens. all
grades of ginghams, linenes. Qinen
finished cloth). organizes. dotted
swisses and nets are the materials
used. They come in plain colors, in
checks. plaids, dots and all-over
designs. In wolfe, the latter is the
most popular and has the added
charm of being very practical be-
cause the combination of colors does
not show soil SO easily. Large
figures in floral or conventional de-
signs are shown the most.
Variety appears most In the fash
ioning of the frocks. AS q rule, each
season is marked, by q particular
style but that Is not so this year.
Some of the waists are cut quite
plain while others run to fancier
style. There are those with a vest.
others made in surplice effect apd
those with kimona sleeves The
latter style is very good this year
but only a few Of the dresses are
made that way. For the most part
the sleeves. cut with the waist, are
short while those cut separately are
either long or short. Most Of the
skirts are gathered around the waist
but are not any fuller around the
bottom than we have been wearing.
Side plated and box plated skirts
are shown in the linens and linenes.
They are, Of course. fuller lat the
bottom.
voiIes Charming and Cool.
The wolfe frocks bid fair to be
more popular than any this summer
for they are quantity charming and
so soft and cool. If you want
dress for real wear, the dark color
combinations are pretty and look
as nice as the lighter ones.-One
shown me in the Persian colors, with
a large leaf design, had a full over
skirt, which did not come together
in the front. showing panel down
the front Of the underskirt. The
overskirt was gathered to the waist
with a ruffle which stood above q
belt Of blue velvet. Barred
white organdy made the cuffs
and the tuxedo collar and
added charm to the dress.
Another dress, not quite so dark
colored, had background. Of Alice
blue with white dots on it. It's
noticeable feature was white
organdy collar made in Bertha eff

surplice waist was trimmed with tho
narrow ruftles also and q pink satin
sash gave tho desired color note.
A scalloped overskirt was attractive
on another model which was finished
with white satin band at the bot
tom Of the skirt proper. Here and
there tiny rosebuds peeped out and
were also coyly placed at one side of
the round collar. Double ruffies
edged In satin baby ribbon, was
the trimming.
German valenciennes insertion In
ruffies made quaint trimming on
another dress OF coarser mesh net.
Its waist was cut with .kimona
