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.

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. (I always call
