gamenet and wedding rings into a
special design which would serve
both purposes, and there is a proba-
bility that the new combination en-
gagement-wedding ring will become
a reality.
THE idea in my opinion" said a
ieweler, came from the fact that so
many women who have been married
for some time have decided to change
their gold wedding rings into piati-
mum for the simple reason that platl-
mum is the thing nowadays. 1t is
the same with engagement rings and
in order to save expense the women
have combined the two"
It's a fact that wedding and en-
gagement rings have been custom
ever since the beginning of time
something that reflects all the treas
ured sentiment of the occasion in
honor of which they are worn-and 1t
may be rather difficult to start the
new fashion.

CEROBE IS THE BUG
WHICH STARTS FLU
PROMISCOUS OSCULATING is
THE WAY 1T WAS STARTED
GOING. USE PRECAUTION.

The News prints for the informa-
ton of it's readers the following
communication to the Cordele Senti-
mel telling of the origin and the
cause of the spread of influenza:
"You ask me for preventive for
the flu, so l will begin at the finish
and end at the beginning. Some say
the flu begins with a germ while
others contend that it is a microbe.
Neither are absolutely correct, as the
flu started from a gerobe, which is a
cross between germ and a microbe,
the same as a corn weevil is crossed
with a boil weevil, and of the two
weevils choose the least; anyhow, in
fluenZa, as you know, was never heard
of until the American army was in
Europe. You see, when you kiss a
German girl you get germs, and when
you kiss an Irish girl you get mike
robes, and it was just here where the
boys mixed up their osculating and
the bug gerobe was introduced that
has since caused all the trouble. A
regiment of soldiers was having a
dance one night and a young Irish
German girl by the name of Enza is
responsible for naming the the dis
ease. When the boys came back
from Europe they were met at the
wharf by a bunch of American girls
who almost mobbed them in their
frantic efforts to get kiss from the
heroes, which they did, of course, and
thus the sheroes spread it all over
America. Now, we have explained
to you how the flu is spread about
and we advise you when visiting your
only one to be careful. When lovely
rushes out to greet you don't forget
yourself and kiss her on the front
porch; no sir; use precautiond and
catcher dimpled chin with your left
hand, letting your right hand rest
gently in the region of her rat and
with her head at an angle of forty
five degree to southwest of north
east gently but firmly imprint kiss
just below where the rouge is taper
ing off into the white way. BY
using this precaution you will miss
the direct contact of the gerobe.

SAY MEN CRAVE
BEAUTY TOUCH, TOO
THEY LIKE TO HAVE THEIR
HAIR MARCELLED, BUT FEAR
GETTING CAUGHT

STRAIGHTFORWARD men really covet the
wavy locks and, if they were not
afraid of ridicule, would have their
hair artificially marcelled. But the
town is too small. The short haired
persons desiring the crimpy locks fear
that they would be detected entering
the beauty parlor and seen emerging
with curly hair.
Such is actually the case, according
to Mrs. M. G. DeCouX, head of a
beauty parlor in one of the large
cities
"Men in larger places" she said,
"often patronize beauty parlors. They
have a little wave put in their hair.
Men are vain, just as much as wom-
en-, but they don't want the women
to know it. They are afraid to enter
the beauty parlors for fear someone
will see them.
at is true that men with curls
hate them, but it is just as true that
men with straight hair covet the
wavy pompadour."
Although marching the straight,

hairdressers declare that the men who
are really vain about their appear
ance, and there are few who are not,
like the soft, beautiful wave and en-
joy an hour with the hairdresser
while she puts each lock in perfect
order and induces the straight crop
to wave becomingly.

Stockings Approach Vanishing Point

The English heather cashmere hose in
purple or green are also much IN de-
mand for sports wear, but for the
street gray or brown is the color most
observed, and these may be ribbed or
have a woven up and down stripe OF
another color. A gray stocking may be
striped in dull blue or a brown with
beige. Also small squares and spots,
either round or diamond shaped.
The heavy all-silk ribbed stockings
for sport and street wear are shown IN
navy blue, green, purple, red, brown,
white, black and heather colOrs, and
an exceedingly trim and handsome
stocking they are. There are also
some new and desirable English Isle
stockings which come in a corded va
riety in brown, navy blue and white
as well as in a printed kind in which
the background of heather, brown or
gren is patterned in conventional de-
signs running in connected rows up
and down the weave.

to indicate in words of fragility of
tehir construction. In beige or flesh
they cease to be visible to the naked
eye, and when fashion dispenses with
them altogether they never will be
missed.
In black, taupe or brown they pre-
sent filmy design on the surface of

of open-work stripes either in plain
or zig-zag pattern or in shadow

The hosiery shop are showing the
most delectable of sweaters in knitted
silk organdy which are so fragile that
their brilliancy forms a delicate film
of color over white. They may be
had in burnt orange or jade gren and
many of them are accompanied by
scarfs of the same substance.

Many, many yards of fashionable
intelligence have been measured on
this spring anent the important question
of shoes, with only here and there a
casual note as to the almost equally
important question of stockings. In
the matter of shoes it appears to be
fairly well settled, that if your per-
sonality demands keen, incislve, eager
toes, they are permitted by Fashion.
If on the other hand you have that
sort of personality which is more at
home in round, suave, comfortable
toe, that may be worn with equal pro
priety and modishness.
Whether you sep off in elaborate
beribboned or bejewelled sandals or in
trim pumps with severe clean-cut
buckles is entirely a matter of indi'
vidual preference.
Thinness of Hosiery
As to hosiery, short of doing with
out stockings completely, which APP
pears to be within the range of posi-
bilities, ankle coverings could not
have more nearly approached the van
ihsing point.
One of the last answers which the
Sphinx will give up when her cherished
mysteries have been pried from her
one by one by fippant and Unsuitable
generation is how women are able to
trip about icy streets, with the Their
mometer near the zero mark, in an
openwork shoe and a mere film of
silk stocking and still have feet left
to stand on the next day.
1t has been done: they are even
doing it this season in spite of the fact
that the shivery custom is frowned
upon by the smartest women, who wear
heavy ribbed silk or wool stockings for
walking.
Wollen stockings can be had in all
the heather mixtures or in white. The
white cashmere hose, sometimes plain,
bright color, have been very much worn
at the Southern resorts with white
homespun or serge suits, or with sport
skirts in which whit predominates.
