Contest Conducted at the Fair
Grounds Tuesday Afternoon.

Anderson Daily Mail.
The Chevrolet car offered free at
the Anderson county fair to the
holder Of the ticket corresponding
to the number drawn was won by w.
H. Fullbright, farmer living in
Pickens county.
The contest was conducted by
Mayor FAINT, assisted by Attorney
Leon Rice, and the numbers filled a
big dry goods box. A boy of ten
was selected from the audience and
began drawing numbers. Ten were
to be drawn a day till the lucky one
was reached. The condition was
that the holder Of the duplicate to
the one drawn should be present and
respond. Up to about six no claims
were made, then 329448 was called
and bulletined, and Miss Euphemia
Young announced she held the cor
responding number. Miss Young
was brought to the stand and exhib-
tied typewriter list which showed
the number, but in some unaccount-
able way she could not show the
ticket. After the five minutes had
elapsed and she had stated she was
satisfied for the drawing to proceed,
other numbers were drawn till the
tenth which was 1862, and w. H.
Fullbright came forward with the
number
1t was rumored that he had picked
up tickets which had been thrown
down by some when the first winner
seemed to be found, but this rumor
was not confirmed. Any way, after
three witnesses had endorsed the
decision he was awarded the car, and
drove it away.

Ginghams, instead Of waning in popu
larity are growing in favor. They will
be among the very wantable fabrics Of
summer, featuring checks and stripes Of
various designs In Paris the great cou
turiers are even using gingham for bath
ing suits. and several models which ar.
rived on this side of the Atlantic recently
are in gingham used alone and in combi-
nation with other fabrics.
The protest against the heightened skirt
was so emphatic at first that it seemed
as II no more inches would be added to
the skirts of the past few seasons. AS
the latest creations continue to feature
the heightened skirt, it will be interesting
to see what the verdict will be. Women
who have affected the wrap-around
skirts of tweed with fringed lower edges,
have accepted them with the new style
note and that unmistakably is the skirt
whose distance from the ground has been
appreciably shortened.
Tweeds and homespuns are quite as
conspicuous as the choicest of silks and
cottons. They are used for the sports
costumes which are of such great mo-
ment and also for simple little slip-on
trocks for morning wear. Nearly al of
the straight line dresses In tweed have
capes attached. This type of dress is
highly practical both for town and coun-
try wear. AS fashionable as the cape
are the little jackets which form a part
of the newest two-piece suits. Box and
fiaring designs are stressed The sleeves
are fiaring to correspond with the lines of
the coat

later used to make a gay crazy" quilt.

a semi-circular strip covered with the
same cloth and sewed securely on at

Remnants of white goods such as
muslin, cambria, nainsook, etc, will
serve as neat patches for dainty under

The legs of otherwise hopelessly I'm
paired stockings may be cut into strips
lengthwise, sewed several thicknesses
together and used as polishing cloths
for the range. Stockings cut into
squares and hemstitched several thick

the same purpose.

foulard and beige organdy. The long
wasted blouse has an oval-shaped neck
and closed TO the left of front un-
der a plat The gilet is of foulard, as
are the narrow bias folds which finish
the short sleeves. II must be explained,
however, that the sleeves are so arranged
that they can be heightened, in which
latter case they probably would be fin
ished with rolled cuffs or gathered into
narrow straight bands. The variety in
sleeve treatments was never so great as
this season. The prevailing types are the
bell-shaped and the kimono. Upon these
two ideas hang all the whims and caprices
of extension and elaboration Two
straight, distended bands at the sides of
the skirt gives it the uneven hem-line
that fashion so frequently demands.
In copying tho new seasons models,
home dressmakers will find that draperies
have been greatly simplihed, for they are
now inserted in the side seams, to hang
in cascades that droop below the natural
hem of the skirt Some of the draperies
are faced with contrasting materials In
in bright colors, while others have
the edges finished in picot effect. Cotton
fabrics are trimmed with silk braids and
but the silks and woolens often
take unto themselves garnitures of leather
iyed in the fashionable shades of the
season.
Among the simple trimmings nothing
orettier has been introduced than the
Jingle rows of feather stitching used on
lresses of satin crepe, crepe Roman,

ierred, deep sections may be added to

ways. Whether design is created for
day or evening wear, this rule does not

times out of ten, will be made of ging-

ters may be filled in with French
knots in black and yellow cotton, the
dots being worked in solid yellow
The stems are outlined in green and
the leaves are worked in lazy-daisy

desired, this design can be embroidered
just as effectively, outline or long-and-
short stitches being used for the flow-
ers, solid satin stitches for the leaves

Variety may be given applique work
by the stitches used in sewing on the
patches. In addition to outline and
blanket stitches, needleworkers are
using the chain and buttonhole stitch
quite extensively. Still another ex-
ceedingly pretty idea is to run very
fine rick-rack around the edges of the
applique, then stitch it with single
stitch embroidery or outline.
For the edges of the apron, lace or
an accordion-plaited frill of self
material may be used.
