Kennedy Chapter U. D. C. held with Mrs, John Rhaine on Monday afternoon wjth Miss Mattie Gerald as assistant hostess. H^was what is known In the Chapter ab "Local History Day" cele brating the birthday of tw^ Confederate Generals ? Gen. J. B. Kershaw and Geu. ?Itfiin D. Kennedy. The president of the Chapter announced that they would de part from the usual custom of reading pjipqrs on the life and achievements of these, soldiers and just upend an informal hour? that a birthday was the occasion of rejoicing and social .pleasure and we cbrt&iuly had every reason to rejoice iu tW bfrth, life and military career of thew gsHrafc sokMeys as4 worthy rep resentatives of a cause still dear to every .S$?ytl)cru heart. An old plantation se lection was read by Mrs. Buddin and several appropriate selections played on the ever-ready Victrola. The veterans had .been bidden to come iu and make merry with them, but only a few re sponded to the invitation ? the Majority with one accord said "I pray thee have me excused." But the next time the ^ daughters will "go out into the by-ways aud hedges, and compel them to come in*'. Mr. J. B. Arrants gave a talk on the days when he was a soldier and Dr. I. II. Alexander told several amusihg happenings of the 'Sixties. As guests of honor the veterans were seated at a table where refreshment^ won- served; ? tW__tahl? vory prfttty .In its appointments bad as a center' dec oration the flags of tho Confederacy.! The Chapter was pleased to. welcome a long-absent member Mrs. C. h. Winkler dt New York andf\ to welcome as guests Mi-. Edwin Muller ami Miss Gardner.

Aud, -besidea, coiufort in tpesti essential for thW rather Htrenuoua nport Ho th?> Introduction of the circular skirt has been accepted and la no well liked that a eoetuiue for ukatinf is not au thentically so unjeaa the circular xklrt appears. Trimmed with Soutache Braid At one of the indoor rinks the other clay I saw a striking costume worn by duo -of the amateurs. The skirt cut on the ho lines was developed in a violet vclour and lined with a brilliant yellow. The bloomers that the charming young creature wore with this skirt Were yel low to match the lining of the skirt. The woolen stockings also claimed some of the same yellow dye and .the jaunty tarn took the rest. When this. chic Miss, took off her coat, whdch was of the same color, and material as the skirt, she re vealed an exceptionally good-looking blouse of (fennel in a light lavender shade. , Her costume in every detail waft one of comfort and ease and possessed an air of refinement and distinction. . The neckline is .perhaps one of the most important lines of a garment. How fre quently we see a thin neck with the gather low round neckline as the shape choseu to set it off. This is an unpar donable. mistake, for every woman should, study her own particular lines and set thcta off as ae possible,. Tint sometimes we are afraid that by Cater ing to our own personalities we will not be in style. This fear should be prompt ly dismissed; .for when we are dressed becomingly we arc always in style. designers have ,been inowt considerate aud, realising the need of various styles cf 'necklines, have given us a gratifying selection to choose from. The Vandyke neckline is ultra smart and may be worn by almost everyone. The lines are not ?m) very severe, and are' -well adapted to the one-piece frocks. The square neck line, with the circular corners, is more severe iu line, and only those With a de cidedly youthful neck may indulge In this novelty. Sales For This County.

SHOULD WOMEN PAINT* From the Greenville Daily News. The Charlotte Observer publishes daily Some interesting "observations" by? Dea con Leake Carraway of the Presbyterian Church who does not, however, deacon as a vocation, since he is the busy and versatile publicity director of the South ern Public Utilities Company. Even if "lie did not know him, his column would rcycal his breadth of mind and depth of human sympathy. The genial deacon x lately took as his text the fact that iu fccwark.TJew Jersey, ^ C police are censoring the faces of women. Wo men who paint are taken into custody and turned over to the police matrons who scrub the paint off their faces. It is said that the warrant for this course is found in the common law, presumab ly that painted faces are "contra bonos mores," which is to say that they of fend good manners. ^ What Ueacon Carraway says 'about the Charlotte women who trj to im prove on what God gave them is no less applicable to many girls and women in Greenville' Spartanburg, Columbia and oifefir ci ties. Heref s * bis" Tittle preaeh meut : "I would hesitate to suggest a simi lar order op the part of Chief Elliott. "Yet there are tfcosO young women in this city to whom the order would apply as directly as ?to those who have ", hart scrubbed in the New . Jersey city. "One day this past week I had oceav Hi on to stand on the sidewalk? in Char lotte and talk to a young woman of my actjfcaintanee. Had I not known her I would have thought her to be a mem ber of a theatrical company Just ready to go under the spotlight. He* lashes, wlrlch are long and which, might have been beautiful bad they been allowed to appear as nature made them, were so heavily covered that they were ac tually' "beaded" as the people of the stage speak of it. ?-And bey cheeks. They were simply awful. I noticed at first that she did not smile as usual, and when I examined her cheeks I came to the conclusion that the reason for this was the pres ence of what t took to be "enamel*', which will not permit either a smile or a frown. 1 "Thi? young woman waa of sufficient PAY DUES ANNUALLY ?" ? . ? . ??

A day or so later I talk ed with a little girl, not a day over 15, and to my utter astonishment and deep regret I found her,, face almost as deeply covered with the dope as was the older woman.1 ' "Now thut little thing in uh sweet and purc^and innocent as a new-born babe.

"Again, I repeat, I do not suggest that the police should scrub some Char lotte faces. " 7~^ "But they should be scrubbed, if not by their owners, then by some one else. The deacon is dead right. ..
