THURSDAY, JULY Beauty and the Beast The stuff these so-called! night gowns were made from had stripes that were intended to run north and south on ready-to-wear garments, but “she” had them running around me, east and 1 west. Furthermore, the soft-side of the material was on the outside instead of the inside. These models of home-made antiqueness struck me just above my knees and swung around in a wavy manner, long here and! short then questions. 1 was glad when he said in the presence of my wife that I had been working too hard'. That sorter em barrassed her. She thinks setting a- round the house after work hours is loafing. Then the physician suggest ed a vacation. I asked him to where, but he would not tell me without knowing how much I could raise. I was afraid to let him on to that secret, as it wa s very small.

It’ s a long way from Sarah Bern hardt to Jack Ross, Greek wrestler of Augusta, but after all they have something in common. Tuesday we read in an Augusta paper that Ross would retire unless he won over his opponent in a match in Augusta Wed nesday night. The State of Wednes day published the information that Ross would retire unless he won over his opponent in a match in Columbia Thursday night. Lon Chaney (not the Lon Chaney of motion pictures) was glated to be the vehicle of retire ment in each instance. Ross’ threat ened retirement recalls the fareweir tours of the Divine Sarah. WHY GOSSIP? (Contributed) Why gossip? Why do people like to “run down” their neighbors instead of commending them for the deede well done and leave unchronicled the slips that it is only human to make? A notworthy case of malicious gos sip is that which happened on June 27th down in Mississippi when a “poisonous tongue” spread small, mean talk about a lady who had the reputation of having lived a quiet, unobstrusive life. As a lesult of this talk, the substance of which wa s not divulged in the newspaper account, a prominent woman of that section, along with another woman and two men, allegedly took the victim out and beat her until she was as “bloody as a hog.’’ Whether these accusations are true or not i 8 a matter for the courts of that State to decide, but at any rate a situation that well might have been avoided hs been brought up, and time, unwanted publicity and money will have to be spent by the defendant be fore justice ha H been satisfied. Then, too, whatever the verdict, there will forever be the question of doubt hang ing over these four people. The woman who was unmercifully beaten—what did she do? If it were something punishable by law, why not let the law take itg course? I it were a lie, irreparable damage has been done to her. Let’s gtop and THINK before we repeat or start false or true deroga tory remarks about our fellow men Nine chances out of ten the “gossiper 1 i g just as human and has made just as many mistakes as the one he so glibly talks about. Once more—“WHY GOSSIP?” 1; Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. Subject tci Correction and Withdrawal. Yeais and years ago, before pa jamas were introduced from Turkey where they were and' are still used as street garb, my old lady decided that she could save between 20 and 15 cts. by making a pair of outing night shirts for me. Not having wielded' a needle be fore in the direction of mens’ wearing apparel (and in my judgment, needles and sewing were not listed amongst those things she knew most about at tha time), I did! not expect a gay Paree model or design for use while wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Well, the night finally came in late December (thermometer 20 in the bedroom) when I donned one of those glorious hand-made reposing garments. I had 1 never before seep such a thing a s that night shirt was. It was tubular in shape, a semi-round hole that looked like and “O” showed at one end for my head to go thru; the tail end was shaped like the top of a wash tub. The right s leeve of this most re markable sleeping habit struck me at elbow while the left sleeve barely per mitted the tips of my fingers to poke out. There was only one button on it, the same being located just be neath my throat. When T buttoned it, it puckered the “O” so badly I al most choked to death.
