Dear Folks: I've had a chance to
'visit back" in New York, and I'm
glad, for it save me better chance
to sec some of the newer things.
LIZ Scty VI N1AC SI1O1 I'll CFSS Is past
and gone. and as usual with styles,
the pendulum has swung back quite
as far in the toher direction.
Some dresses on the street today
barely miss the ground two inches,
most of the new ones at thu extreme
are only six and eight inches from
the ground. Compare that with the
fourteen, sixteen and even eighteen
inch dresses Of the past year. The
conservative woman will wear her
cloth and silk dresses about six
inches from the ground and her tai
lored suit about eight inches. Eve
ming frocks about four.
The dresses are all on the long
straight line, draped at the side, but
hanging straight and soft. In some
of the evening clothes you see 2,
tendency to fullness on the hips, but
of course with the longer dresses
coming in that style can not last.
1 greatly fear that these longer
dresses mean higher heels, for a
woman looks exceedingly dowdy in
fiat heels and long dresses.
AS for hats, well, it seems to me
that the shape depends largely on
taste. For the matron the tricone is
very good. The large hat with the
slightly rolling brim, worn this sum-
mer, by the way. is in favor. Vel
vet, particularly panne, is a great
favorite, and satin that looks very
much like little sisters much-tied
hair ribbon, and named crushed
satin is much in vogue. 1t is, of
! course, crushed by artists, and we
would never get the same effect, al
though when made into a hat it
looks much like the above mentioned
ribbon.
I feel sure you will be glad to
know that in the midst of these ex-
tremes Of fashion the blue serge suit
and the blouse with the becoming
''frilly" front is quite one OF the best
buys. Why this becoming mode ever
went out, even for a brief space,
do not know, and the smart, we'll
groomed woman welcomes it back
with open arms.
You'll forgive me for postponing
some of your questions until my re-
turn, I'm sure, for what woman

sons styles? Cordially,

Sweeping Victory
Claimed for Hardwiick
By His Headquarters

The following statement was is
sued Thursday from Governor Hard
wicks campaign headquarters:
THAT Governor Hardwick will be
renominated by the biggest vote
known in Georgia in years is the
confident belief of Chairman Arthur
Lucas and the members Of the Hard
wick campaign committee.
Developments during the past
few days show that Governor Hard
wick is stronger with the people
than ever before, and from the re-
ports which are coming to the head.
quarters by mail, by telegraph and
through personal visitors, the indi-
cations point to a great landslide for
the governor on September 10.
thousands of letters from promi-
nent Georgians, who opposed the
governor two years ago, have been
received in which It is stated that
the writer's are supporting Governor
Hardwick this year because they adj
m1re his courageous stand on all
public questions, because of his eff
forts to have the states affairs placed
on a business basis and because they
believe he has MADE the state an
excellent chief executive and his adj
mlnistration should receive an in
dorsement at the hands of the peo-
pie.
Visitors to headquarters bring in
enthusiastic reports as to the sit
uation in the various counties, and
where any doubtful section exists it
is their opinion that there will be
a change in favor of the governor
before the primary.
Big counties that went against
the governor two years ago like
Bibb, Chatham, Floyd, Muscogee.
Sumter, are now practically solid
for the governor and will give him
enormous majorities on the day of
the primary"
Saturday Governor Hardwick will
speak to an enormous gathering at
Warm Springs. A big barbecue will
be held there on that day and people
from Meriwether, Epson, Pike and
Coweta counties will be present.
Saturday afternoon the Governor
will speak in Talbotton and Satur-
day night in Columbus. Monday he
will make two speeches The first
will be in ellsworth, Murray coun.
ty Monday morning and the second
will be delivered Monday afternoon

Mother Shjpton's Prophecy

CInptOII
A lady friend has written me con-
corning Mother Shipton, who pre-
dicted strange things, which finally
came to pass. I reprinted Mother
Symptoms prophecy some years ago.
but my encyclopedia, while giving
the facts, does not give the wonder
full poem.
She was born in 1888 and died in
1860. Her prophesies were publish
ed in 1897.
How much is fable and how much
was Mother Symptoms own writing
we do not know, but her prophesies
have all come true, in remarkable
Versity.
The ,horseless carriage industry is
the second largest industry in the
world at this time ard they are cali.
ed automobiles. Steam engines
might have claimed priority, and
doubtless many people believed they
were included in the aforesaid pro-
phesies, but the simon pure horse
less carriages are now with us, I'M
less the time is coming when air.
plane vehicles are coming along at
rapid pace.
When I was born, 81 years ago,
there were some fine carriages,
drawn by two, sometimes four
horses. There were gigs, but no
buggies. There were wagons and
oxcarts, and big stage coaches, but
when steam cars appeared it was a
vivid sensation. I never saw a
Pullman sleeping car until after the
civil war, and among the first au-
tomobiles that I saw was one that
so nearly scared my pony into fits,
that l narrowly escaped death. A
railroad man, still living, saw the
threatened disaster and rushed up
behind my small phaeton buggy,
climbed up, took the reins from my
hands and sawed the bit in the
ponys mouth until she could be
checked. She trembled for hours.
am satisfied Mother Shipton saw
the automobile in her prophesy.
