Pink Taffsta Afternoon Frock.
A rose pink afternoon frock is typi-
cal of many others and in a very
charming way. The silk is the color
Of a frosty raspberry ice, with a girdle
of ribbon Of lavender which tones In
so well that one is hardly aware there
is any difference of color except that
the effect is delicious. The bouffant
skirt stands out at the sides as a re-
suit of the cordings set in a deep band
about the hips. This in the overskirt,
for there is a slightly narrower under
skirt beneath.
The short sleeves are finished with

PARTY AND BALL
Short Skirts, Short Sleeves and
Oceans of RuffIeS and Trim
mingS for Debutante.
GOWNS TO SUIT YOUNG GIRLS
Everything Designed in Frocks With
Eye to Requirements of Misses
Little Consideration Appar-
emily Given to Matrons.

This season the debutante and the
subdebutante are coming into their
own. After two years of utter neglect
the debt piled up is to be paid, and
paid in full with all past interest due,
observes a leading fashion correspond
ent.
Parties, dinners and dances galore
are on the program, one crowding the
other so closely that two years re-
serve strength would seem a necessity.
1t seems, too, as if everything had
been designed in frocks with an eye
to the requirements of the debutante-
short skirts, short sleeves, oceans Of
ruffles and foolish little trimmings
and the matron will have to find some
thing suitable as best she may.
Now, it is a well known fact that
seldom does the very young woman
favor the type of dress that her elders
would choose for her. The adorable
youthful models hold no particular
charm for the adorable youthful girl,
but all this has been cleverly attended

matters we'll. The vamp and the baby
vamp are out of the running to
great extent, but it is a bit too soon to
expect a direct change, so in spite of
soft colOrs and multitudes of ruffles
there is frequently a touch of sophisti-
cation.
If the very young woman is a bit
determined she will finally win, for
back in the corners here and there are
some deliciously subtle frOcks, even to
no one could possibly call suitable
for the debutante unless one should
see the notifications as shown in the
models.
coIors Fresher and Clearer.
As to cOlors, the matrOn again is in
for a very hard time if she is to con-
tinue in the height of fashion. Be 1t
admitted that the colOrs are fresher
and clearer than ever, they are a trifle
difficult for any but the very youthful
to wear.
One is struck Immediately with the
difference in the shades shown fer the
debutante and those in the, regular de-
partment Most of the cOlors are in
tensiied, and the pastel shades the
matrOn is supposed to wear are slight
ly more than that when shown for the
younger woman. Jade color is one Of
the seasons most approved shades
and orchid, with a splash of mauve, is
also liked.
Taffeta is quite evidently the mate
rial best adapted to the present modes
in all the afternoon frocks; whether
in light coIors or dark blues and
browns for the street, it asserts itself
in the bulging skirts. For afternoon
one finds further crispness added by
combining Organdie with the taffeta.
Nets of the finest possible mesh are
amazingly embroidered in eyelet. The
last thing one would expect to see
used on net and a thing that would
be impossible If the net were not
almost as fine as vOile.

No Use.

1T is useless to forbid larceny
when the deacons make large
church contributions out of ex-
cess profits wrung jointly from
labor and the ultimate consum-
er."
That statement was made by
Vice President Marshall at a re-
cent church mass meeting, and
in those few words lies one of
the secrets of the waning power
of the church, and of the rise of
wickedness and seIfshness in
this land of ours
Men can not praise the Lord
on Sunday and serve the devil on
Monday and still retain the re-
spect of his fellow men.
The man who is reasonably de-
cent but makes no pretension to
Christianity can be respected for
just what he is, for his very hon.
esty in admitting his imperfec-
tions is a commenaable trait.
Bat the one who wears the
cloak of the Lord to hide the
work of the devil is deserving of
just what he receives-the eOn-
tempt Of all people who know
him as he is.
There are good deacons and
there are bad ones. The good
ones do much toward the eIsva-
ton of the human race. The
bad oaes besnairch the whole
church with their own mire.

WILL CONTESTANT WINS
Jury Finds Late A. ]. MathesOn In
capacitated Mentally.

In the court of common pleas at
Bennettsville last Saturday, Judge Ed
ward McIver presiding, the case in
volving the will of the late A. ]. Math'
eson, which attracted quite a great
deal of attention, the terms of the will
were annulled.
J. j. Matheson, the oldest son.
brought an action to set aside the will,
alleging lack of capacity on the part
of his father at the time the will was
made in that having suffered stroke
of paralysis about year before that
date, his mind was so affected that ne
was incapable of making a will, and
on the second ground that he was un'
duly influenced by his youngest son,
A. D. Matheson.
The contestant was represented by
Townsend and Rogers and S. S. Tison
and ]. ]. Evans of the local bar, and
Thomas and Lumpkin and D. w. Rob
inson of Columbia. On the other side
were McColl and Stevenson of the local
bar and F. L. Wilcox of Florence.
The issues were submitted to the
jury after charge by the judge early
this morning and the jury returned
this afternoon about 4:30 o'clock hav-
ing found that A. j. Matheson at the
time of making the will did not have
mental capacity to make will, that
A. D. Matheson had not exerted un-
due influence over his father. There
fore, the will propounded was not the
will of A. ]. Matheson.
Judge McIver signed ar order IN
accordance Herewith and directed the
Judge of probate, who had previously
admitted the will to probate, to re-
verse his findings.
A. J. Matheson was one OF the
ablest and most successful men that
had ever done business in Marlboro
county. He was a great benefactor
to his county and town. He suffered
a stroke of paralysis more than a
wear before his death. He left a very
large estate, valued at approximately
81 100000.

BOOST IN PRICES
IS new FEAR
WASHINGTON WORRIED OVER
DANGER THAT PROFlTEERS
WILL HIT CONSUMERS

More fear was expressed in Wash
ington that an increase in the cost OF
the necessities of life will take place
when the new railway freight rates
90 into effect on Aug. 25. Not so
much anxiety is felt over the boost
in passenger fares.
One of the chief causes of worry in
Washington is that any profiteering
on account of the rates would be at
tached to the commodities used in
daily life, such as flour, clothes, fur
niture and the like, which would drive
straight to the posketbook of every
consumer. Some days ago, it was
rumored that the railroad employees
were even preparing to ask the presi-
dent to call a special session of Con-
gress to pass new and stringent anti
profiteering laws. This rumor could
not be confirmed.
In line with that first rumor the
statement was made recently that
the railway employees were preparing
to ask further increases in pay. The
man who made this statement, Gov
ernment official in touch with railroad
matters and one who has had practi-
cal experience in railroad supervision
said that member of one of the rail-
road unions declared to him that,
where the men had received q per
cent pay increase, the railroads were
not entitled to more than a IA per
cent increase in freight rates.
Tariff committees representing the
four groups of carriers are hard at
work preparing new tariffs carrying
the increased passenger and freight
rates.
The enormity of the work involved
in framing new tariffs is not ap-
preciated by the ordinary person, ac-
cording to members Of the committee.
They point out that it is not only a
job OF adding e. per cent or 40 per
cent to the present rate on commod-
ity and let it 60 at that, but means
that in the neighborhood of million
computations will have to be made
before the work can be called COM
plete.
It is hoped, however, that the work
can be done within the next two weeks.
Railway executives expressed con-
fidence that the various state commits
sions would grant increases in intra-
state rates proportionate to the. high
er interstate rates granted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission. This
confidence is based on the fact that
three State Commissioners-W. D. b.
Amy, Of Pennsylvania; Royal c. Dunn
of Florida, and John A. Guther, OF
Iowa-sat with the l. c. c. during
the hearings, announced their approx
al of the intrastate rates, and have
urged that similar increases be grant
ed within the states.
Should any state commission refuse
