,RHAM HIGHS CONTINUE
WINNING STREAK
High School Team Takes
Bennettsville Highs into
Camp 1877. Boys Going
Good.

The Rockingham Highs jour
neyed to Bennettsville on Friday
9TH, and annexed the Benefits
vile scalps to tune of 1877.
The Bennettsville school
grounds are almost in the center
of that rich young city, and the
football field is right beside the
I school buildings.
Probably rs Rockingham root
ers attended the game, these
apparently exceeding the Ben
nettsville attendance. One thing
is certain for a,town to have a
winning team the home folks
must attend the games and show
they are behind the boys. That's
one thing that is helping our
home boys so much the folks
are behind them. And the team
looked mighty good Friday in
the new uniforms. They played
with a snap, too.
Though outWeighed, the Ben
nettsville lads fought gamely.
Their one score came in the last
quarter when John Corrie, their
field general and all-round best
player. intercepted forward
pass and raced 40 yards for a
score.
The Rham first score came
in the early part of the first
quarter when Bennettsville was
held and forced to, kick on the
fourth down; the kick was block
ed and like a flash Johnnie Webb
scooped the ball up and sped 80
yards for a touchdown.
The entire Rham team showed
an improvement. Ernest Coble
played quarter. William Edward

ment. Both fellows worked their

able for business wear in style and line-and one must concede the em- broidery this season! It is a smart little suit of dark brown velours with
 narrow seal collar and cuffs. and the embroidered motifs are in shaued tans. The roll-brim sailor of brown and tan velvet Is all that it should be. Pictured also is a good-looking top coat, graceful and rich and covering the frock from neck to hem. It is of dark green velours with collar trim ming of opossum and embroidery in self-tone and slightly lighter shades. With 1t will go very well the brown i felt hat with it's wreath of shaded green kid leaves; a perfectly suitable

with backs embroidered in self-tone. And there are gloves in delicate bisque shade for wear with costumes In tan and brown tones. Black and white gloves are especially smart and will probably continue to be smart all win- ter long. There are black kid gloves with white pipings and stitching; and white kid gloves piped and stitched in black.
 Some of the fashionable glove shades thls autumn are mole. smoke gray, stone gray, pearl gray. bisque. chamois. lawn, beaver. No very dark gloves are worn--if one excepts black. which, with white trimming, is tre- mendously smart--but neutral grays and beaver with black stitching are very good style. Black gloves with white stitching, or gray gloves with black stitching are better style with dark tailored suits for the street than white gloves which are now consid- cred correct only for dress-up occa- sions.
 Fabric suede gloves--these also washable-appear in great numbers but these gloves are not really smart or correct style. One wears them only for reasons of economy-and of course everybody is fully aware of the fact of excellent leather should last well through season if treated with con- sideration. If your hands perspire, keep talcum in your gloves and air them thoroughly after each wearing.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-09

lace in narrow widths are permissible in an office, but never the fifmy laces like val or net top patterns, Darker blouses may be of crepe de chine or of georgette--if there be an under slip or lining of georgette also. A graceful blouse for wear with the skirt of a brown tailored suit, is of hemstitched brown crepe de chine, made with three-quarter faring sleeves. a shallow oval neck opening and a soft sash of the material. Gray is not a good color for the office. It spots easily and soon looks drab and shabby when subjected to hard wear Bright colored blouses should not be worn at the office, though dark blouses may have little rich-hued embroidery to liven them up.
 Embroidery Permissible In Moderation
 Everything is embroidered just now, so the business woman would have a time of it trying to find something perfectly plain for office wear. But she can certainly find frocks and blouses and tailored suits with em- broidery in self-tone or in subdued effects. The pictured suit Is admir-

 Serge The Relinace Of Business
 Women
 There is nothing like navy serge for the business woman. It is always neat and it may be very smart. Even when only passably smart it is presentable and refined Navy serge and black braid make an ideal combination for office frocks. Such frocks should be on straight lines, cut all in one piece and beautifully tailored. The sleeve less slip-on dresses are especially sat isfactory for office wear A fresh Guimpe gives that spic and span sug- gestion that is so desirable. and most women are more comfortable. work ing all day indoors, in the cool light sleeves of washable guimpe than in the close-f1tting sleeves of serge frock. The separate guimpe that can be sent to the laundry also keeps the constantly worn frock much fresheis and pleasanter to wear. Such frock of good style. is in straight lines with binding of black braid at neck open ing and armhole. The fastening comes at the shoulder \ narrow, braid bound sash of the serge. looped over once with short ends. holds in the straight frock at a low waistline and on the skirt are several ungathered fiounces or deep tucks. each bound with braid.

Bodice and sleeve are covered with the braiding and a panel of braiding runs down the center front of the skirt. just in- side the hem.

Butterfly Blouses Are Enchant

~ HERE Is a new blouse of crepe
 de chine which is sure to be pop - ular: so dainty 1t is, and so grace ful..and so very easy to make at home. It is called the butterfly blouse because of the- way the sleeves are shaped. It Is a simple kimono model ip ip-over-the-head style and with deep oval or V shaped opening at the front. from the neckline. Because of this deep opening no fastening is nec- essary at the shoulders. The elbow sleeves in kimono cut slope downward under the arm to meet the waistline tinstead of upward toward the arm pit). and the seam of the sleeve Is left open. Fancy braid in gold. or silver or some rich color edges the sleeve and runs along the seam edges to the waistline: the braid also out lines the neck opening and oval or V shaped slash at the front, and runs down the shoulder and outer side of the sleeve to the edge. pale amber crepe de chine blouse has braid in deep nasturtium and gold and this

 Wnistcoats Barred

wrist. They are ideal gloves for mos toring or for rainy days and are in perfect good taste with top coat of tweed or camels-hair on the street. They may be worn In the morning with a serge trotter frock or skirt and coat suit. The white gauntlets are not actually gauntlets but loose -wristed gloves which slip on without fasten- ing. They are of washable kid and are exceedingly practical and econom- ical. Washable gloves are a boon to the woman who must economize. Not only do they save bills at the dry cleanser's. but one may get along with a single pair. rinsing them out over night--instead of keeping on hand an extra pair for use while one's gloves are at the cleanser's.
 Such gloves should never be soaked long in water. Put them on and then rinse and wash the hands in warm water and soapsuds. applying brush to the most soiled places on the gloves Rinse thoroughly. then squeeze and press the gloves until all the excess moisture is out of them. straighten them into shape and dry quickly in a
