THE BOOK OF ANN.
We Agree That Modesty in Dress
and Actions Is Slowly Returning.
“ ‘Miss Modesty’ is the confine fad,
I guess,” remarked Corinne Caryl.
“You see, as a professional ‘vamp’ I
must keep , posted.” ,
“Corinne is going to buy a new
wardrobe in New York,” explained
Midget.
“Yes, and it will have to be very
different from the clothes I’ve been
acting in,” agreed Corinne. “Just
consider two of New York’s recent
musical successes, ‘Ruddigore’ and
‘lrene.’ Not a shocking costume in
either of them! ‘lrene’ was taken
to London where it is meeting with
extraordinary success.”
“The ingenue who carelessly neg
lects to surround herself with suffi
cient drapery has had her day, it
seems t ome,” meditated the Midget.
“Society women have made
the strictest rules for young girls,”
remarked Chrys who had joined us.
“But they’re awfully inconsistent]
The grande dames—at a social func
tion —are often sights. You know
they are, Jane. You often see
dowagers painted and powdered and
curled to the final degree of artifice.
No backs at all to their bodices, my
dear. And only a trail of embroid
ered gauze dragging below their ex
tremely short skirts. Grotesque,
isn’t it? A lot worse than anything
ever done in the movies! And then
‘—behold their granddaughters—ar
rayed as modestly as if they were
to be presented to the Queen of Eng
land!”
“By the way, the king and queen
of England have just held their first
court since the war,” I said. “And
the queen has made some stringent
new rules about the attire of women
who are presented at court. She is
leading a revolt against extravagant
fashions, it seems. And against im
modest clothes.”
“The girls lately presented to her
were all dressed as simply, as Mid
get is going to look in her little or
gandy, this noon," Corinne laughed.
“Did you ever stop to think that
the girl who has made the most
money in American movies has nev
er been seen in an immodest cos
tume? ventured Midget.
“That is true,” Chrys agreed.
“And I guess her influence in the
fashions of the time is about as
as that of any reigning queen.”
“Both Marys taboo extravagant
complexions,” laughed Midget.
“Ex-members of the A. E. F. have
the best name for cosmetics,” said
Chrys. “ ‘War paint!’ It implies a
good deal, doesn’t it?”
“Rouge is like cigarets for women,
well enough for the companion of
an hour, but quite out of the ques
tion for the girl a man marries,”
said Corinne, the famous vampire.
“I think it is the sense of this
meeting that a reaction toward more
refined dress for women is already
setting in,” said Chrys rising to her
feet. “And I would like to say, be
fore this conference adjourns, that
I think it is good taste which is caus
ing the change. I think the men are
tired of seeing boudoir styles parad-

Chrys interrupted .the applause
with: “Come, girls, it’s time to dress
for luncheon.”
Half an hour later, my own slow
process of grooming was interrupt
ed by the ringing of the phone in
my room.
Ann’s voice came over the wire:
“My party is ruined!” she moaned.
“Yes, Jane! Absolutely spoiled!”
“Whats’ the matter, dear? Have
the servants gone out on strike?” I
suggested, only as a pleasantry.
“You’ve guessed it, Jane,” she
wailed. “Thats’ exactly whats’ hap

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
BAHNSEN PROBE
PUT UNDER WAY
Little Evidence at First
Hearing Tuesday
Next Session
ATLANTA, July 22.—A brief ses
sion was held Wednesday afternoon
by the joint committee of the house
and senate authorized to investigate
the office of the state veterinarian,
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, who is charg
ed by Representative Williams, of
Worth, with illegal conduct in of
fice, with violation of his oath, and
with operating his department for
his own personal financial gain.
The onlv evidence submitted to
the committee was in support of the
charge jthat Dr. Bahnsen several
months ago was fined sll in the At
lanta police court for violating the
city ordinance as to adulterated milk.
Dr. Bahnsen operates a dairy at
Americus, Ga., and it was charged
that samples of milk shipped by him
to Atlanta showed adulteration. The
court record showed that Dr. Bahn
sen was fined sll by Recorder George
M. Johnson.
Although there are several specific
charges in the bill of allegation, the
police incident was the only one
brought out before the committee. It
was announced that another session
of the committee will be held on
Tuesday afternoon of next week.
Dr. Bahnsen readily admitted his
being fined in recorder’s court where
the admissibility of the evidence was
questioned. In speaking of his con
viction for selling adulterated milk,
Dr. Bahnsen stated that "is wife was
really the operator of the dairy at
his home and that he was rarely ev
er there to oversee its operation.
Doctor Bahnsen is ‘charged with
purchasing commercial serum and
distributing it under a state label,
thereby making a profit for himself.
This purchase was from the Union
Serum Company, of Sioux City, la.,
and it was distributed J)y Doctor
Bahnsen to Georgia farmers at the
time the license of the company had
been revoked by the federal govern
ment, it is charged. A third charge
grows out of this sale in that Doctor
Bahnsen is accused of discriminations
against the serum plant at the State
Agricultural College by selling in
the state under official label “a
cheaper and an inferior” grade of
serum.
Other charges are that Doctor
Bahnsen rendered an expense account
of $131.84 in 1917 for a trip on per
sonal business and not in the inter
est of the state; that he refused to
permit investigation of the cholera
serum records in his office by duly
authorized state officials; that he
violated the spirit and oath of his of
fice when he offered for sale and al
lowed to be sold impure and adult
erated milk, for which he was fined
sll in the Atlanta recorder’s court.

Is Malaria Sapping Your
Strength And
Vitality
Physicians claim that malaria is
the cause of more disease than any
malady known—chills and fever, ma
larial fever, bilious fever, loss of ap
petite and energy, drowsiness, etc.
If malaria (chills and fever) is
keeping you down get a bottle of Am
eco and begin taking right now.
Aineco is better than quinine for
malaria, chills and fever.
Ameco kills the malaria germ.
A few doses break the fever, and
when taken as a tonic, the fever will
not return.
That dreaded ‘chill day* disappears
from the moment you begin taking
Ameco.
Ameco will also cure any ordinary
cold in 24 hours.
Contains no harmful drugs and is
fine for children.
Get a bottle of Ameco Chill and
Fever Tonic from your druggist for
35c, and if not satisfied with results,
he will refund your money.—(adv)
