ll MARLBORO.DKHOCRAT BEHHETTSYILLE, S, C. W. F. ?ALDVVKLL KDITOK The Woman and thc Feline. [Isabel Gordon Curtis in "Success Magazine"] A Western judge- let us hope lie had boen singularly unfortun ate in his female relatives- recent ly remarked that all women were cats. Women read iluvt press dis patch every where, one morning, and for a few hours at least the ears of that judge must have burned. ?Still, there are women wno indors ed his judgment, although they feel tha tho might have qualified his re mark and saul ''some women are eats." One can't help wondering I why poor pussy, from time im memorial, should have, been pick ed out as the prototype of a mean treacherous, back-biting woman, for a cat which is well-fed and kindly treated is n lovable animal and, queerly enough, it is the animal on which most woman lav ish their love. A man who studies thc traits of dumb creatures tells us, however, that the female eat treats tho species of her own sex in a peculiarly mean anti vicious manner, lt bites instead of back biting, and, at the first throb of jealousy, will scratch like a good fellow. If that is so, we have to confess that there arc cat-like, wo men everywhere, in thc lowest rank of life and in the highest, for we have had cat-like queens; clever old Queen Bess had many a pussy cat trait. The New Styles For Women. "If the new summer gowns have a conspicuous note at all this year it is in their trimmings, which seem to stand out in bold relief,*' s.tys Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Companion for May. "Much soutache in all wi Iths and heavy cotton braid are used, in white and dyed to match the fabric. In thc skirt and coat suits thc outline of the coat is shown by thc linc of braiding, and either braid or buttons not infre quently trim the back. Tassels arc very much used whenever a place tor them can bc found. The heavy and the linc laces arc fashionable in combina tion for trimming both gowns and separate blouses. "Very narrow satin plaitings are much used as a trimming for silk voile Ond net gowns. They are often introduced in some bril liant shade; such as Kmpire green on a gown of neutral tint. Plait ing's of this style frequently simu late a bib ulled on the bodice and outline :i tunic oiled in lin-skirt. "Buttons arc used not only where they arc needed, but where they arc not needed on tho new gowns. For the tailored suits there are thc fabric-covered buttons and the braal buttons. "Thc white and colored cotton crochet button is extremely high style, and for lingerie waists there are thc new pearl head buttons." Winthrop College Scholarship and Entrance Examination.
