MET WITH MRS.
JOHN RHAMR
One of the most enjoyable meetings
of the season was that of thi* John D.
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

The Chapter was pleased to. welcome a

and a report from the composition com
mittee ? this committee consists of Miss
Ella Zemp, Miss Agnes Corbctt and Mr.

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

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.

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

yoars to know better. v Probably 25,
or a little more. There is no excuse
for such a display and coujd those who
make )ise of their face for a oanvaH
hear the remarks their appearance brings
out, on the street, I am sure they
would of their own aooord "clean up"
so that th^police would not be neces
iary.'-~ -.-v.-' ?? J . .. . ...... . . . .
"And again. 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

make-up. * 1
"But, her mother, who 1 know to be a
woman of the highest type of character,
does know better and it is she against
whom the most severe criticism lies.
Bhe knows the imihession her little girl
is making on the streets, and if she
does net it's high time she was learn
ing.
"Again, I repeat, I do not suggest
that the police should scrub some Char

"But they should be scrubbed, if not
by their owners, then by some one else.
The deacon is dead right. .. Very dis
