When We Go Shopping
By MRS. HARIAND II. ALLEN.

Among the best color combinations
you will meet with In nature are the
datsy's white and yellow, the sun
flowers brown and gold, the pansy's
yellow and purple, the tea roses
light salmon, yellow-green, cream
and moss-green; the naSturtium's yell
low and orange. The colors in the
autumn leaves, their browns, pinks,
reds and grays, are always inspira-
tfons to the seeker after lovely COL
ors. In natures cloud and atmos-
pheric effects, her animals, birds and
insects, too, as well as in her flowers
and foliage, you will find marvelously
combined colors.
One practical means of training
your color sense Is to observe the va
rious colors worn by friends who are
of your own type. You may learn as
much about what not to wear as
what to wear. Notice the color af-
ected by the famous actress whose
cOlorinE is somewhat the same as
your own. 1t may be your color"
too.
Color taste is largely q matter Of
cultivation in an individual and of
civilization In a race. The unschool-
ed boy in his teens favors the same
loud" shades in his necktie and
scarfs that primitive peoples and saw
ages prefer in their dress. The more
your taste inclines to the soft, quiet
shades, the more you may be sure
that you have been successful in
training your color sense.

AS soon as Thelma, Alice Cutup's
best friend, heard that there was to
be q May day pageant che began
holding her chin up a little higher.
She practiced walking with queenly
steps. for, you see, Thelma was al
most sure she was going TO be chosen
the May queen. People were always
telling her she was a very pretty lit
tie girl. and, of course, a May queen
should always be as pretty as possi-
Bile.
II must be very nice to my teachers
for a few days." thought Thelma- She
had heard that the teachers at her
school were going to select the queen.
Il must learn my lessons very well,
and make good recitations, and be
sure to wear a nice fresh dress every
day, so I'll look my best. I wonder
what kind of dress I'll get to wear
when I'm the queen.
Thelma has night brown hair. She
wears pink dress today and pink
hose.

CLOSE SOCCOR
 GAMES PLAYED

Saturdays games of soccer football were two of the closest of this season. Fairfield and Wylam tied with one goal each. 'Wylam scored their goal in the first half and Fairfield came back in the second half with sufficient drive to tie the score. McCrorie scored the goal for Vivian and Owen put the ball through the posts for Fairfield.
 The Vivian team was playing an ag- gressive game at all times but were unable to break the tie. Moore, the Fairfield halfback was the best player on the field in this game.
 Ensley won a game from Pratt City today for the first time this season. The score was three to two. Both teams scored in the first half Miller made the first score for Ensley and Newart made the first goal for Pratt Sanders made Pratt's second goal. The second goal for Ensley was made by a Pratt City man.
 'Greenwell put the last goal through for Ensley winning his teams first victory over the Pratt City team
 Considering the heavy field the games were very we'll played. The halves were of forty-five minutes du ration. A crowd of about fifteen hun dred people witnessed the games.

RAMER GIRLS VICTORS
 OF HIGH TOURNAMENT
Team Coached by Miss Sellers Playing Hardest Schedule of Others Comes Through Triumphant
 Over Mortimer Jordan.

MONTEvALLO, Ala. Feb. 23.-(Spe- cial.)-Ramer High school, Montgomery county, was crowned queen of girls basketball teams in Alabama here this afternoon following their sensational victory over Mortimer Jordan, Jeffer- son county's entrant, from Morris. The score was: Ramer, 26; Mortimer Jor- dan, g.
 It seems only fittingly appropriate that the team coached by Miss Minnie Sellers should win the second annual basketball tournament for the state championship. It was Miss Sellers who perfected the present organization of state high school girls team. and she Is now president of that organization. Her team showed the handiwork of a skilled coach in their play, and through the final games the teamwork of the six girls from Ramer was above re- proach.
 Banner is not a fluke winner, either, for this team played the hardest sched- ule of any combination in the meet. By eliminating Jones Mill, Atmore, Lin coin and Mortimer Jordan 1t defeated the four outstanding teams in the tournament, outside of itself. The team played a steady game, and the break girls basketball team, during which the team goes to pieces, did not occur with them.
 Banner All Stars
 The Ramer team placed more stars on the all-state list than any other team. Sporting writers at the tourna- ment selected an all-state list, compris- ing six players for each. team, as fol- lows: Eugenia Tate (Wetumpka), i, Trudie Whisenant (Mortimer Jordan) Buenah Mae Sellers Ramer), Margaret Parish (Atmore), Evelyn Powell (Sel- ma), Leola Lackey Hincoln), as for wards. For centers: Adrey Guthrie (Mortimer Jordan), Ivora Guthrie (Mortimer Jordan), Letha Mae Jenes Gones MilD, Evelyn Blackmon (We- tumpka). Evelyn Sankey (Ramer), Ethel Lee (Atmore) were selected. For guards, the selections were: Amelia Jackson (simpson), Olivia Jones Ramer), Eula Kettles (Atmore), Grace Shaddox Nincoln), Maud Nixon (we- tumpka) and Aline Blackburn (Jones Mil)
 In the final game, the great goal shooting of Trudie Whisenant, for Mortimer Jordan, stood out. She was the individual star forward of the en- tire tournament. She shot every point for Mortimer Jordan. Sellers played a great game for Ramer at forward.
 The entire Banner team played as a unit, and passing. shooting and pass ing, shooting and guarding, were all equally strong. The first half ended with the score tied, 15-15, but Banner forged ahead soon after the first half started, but was never more than three or four points in the lead.

 Well-Trained Team The semi-finals brought out the fea- ture game of the Alabama girls high school basketball tournament Satur- day in the Banner Lincoln contest. The Banner girls showed the most skilled type of play of any team in the tourna- ment in winning, 26, to 9. The pass work of the entire Banner team was a masterpiece of machine play. Though the Lincoln team put up a good scrap, it could not cope with the great play ing of its opponent. At center, Sharpe and Sankey were getting the ball over to the forwards consistently, while great team-play by the forwards, Sellers and Boyd, and accurate shooting, were ac- counting for goal after goal. The Banner guards, Jones and Mathews, al- lowed the Lincoln forwards no free shots, and only the sensational goal shooting of McElhannon and Lackey accounted for Lincoln's showing. The Banner team was an all-star combina- tion Saturday morning. Shaddox played good game at guard for Lin ooln.

The brilliant Gertrude Whisenant was in the vanguard from Mortimer Jordan on- siaughts and counted for 33 of the Nor rfs teams S6 points, But it was not alone to whisenant that credit is due, for at center the Guthrie sisters, Ivora and Adrey, played wonderful ball.
 For Walker county, B. Brown and King played well. The Mortimer Jor- dan guards gave the Jasper forwards little chance at the goal, and the shots counted were difficult ones. The Wal ker sextet fought hard but were out clAssed.

 The university boys teamwork was much better than that of the previous day. The scores of the individual men- bers of the team were not so close to one another in points as 1t was when the Crimson Tide. Jr., met Woodlswn, but the total score being much larger in Saturdays game may be the reason for that.
 Chadwick was the dependable scorer for the Freshmen. His shots from all ranges were good, but four of his eight field goals were made from near the goal. He played the floor we'll and did much toward keeping the ball in his teams possession. '..
