BIRTHDAY DINNER.
A small dinner party at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Jones on Tues

very delightful way a congenial group
of friends to celebrate the birthday
anniversary of Mr. Virgil McDowell.
The color scheme of white and gold
was beautifully carried out in the dec
orations and other details. The large
birthday cake, beautifully embossed in
white, held burning yellow tapers and
was encircled with flowers in the
shades of yellow. Baskets of golden
glow and marigolds were placed about
the rooms. The sumptuous dinner
was served in several courses. Toasts
to the honor guest were happily ex
pressed in good wishes for many re
turns of the day and for success
in his work at the Georgia Tech, the
party being in the nature of a fare
well, as Mr. McDowell will leave in a
few days to resume his studies.

Dawsonians in Contest
For Tennis Championship
Dudley Cocke and John H. Crouch
Play in Putney Court.
Messrs. C. D. Cocke and John Hen
ry Crouch, two Dawsonians who have
already distinguished themselves on
the Albany tennis court in contests
for the southwest Georgia champion
ship, will meet some of the best play
ers tomorrow on the Putney court in
the final round in the tennis tourna
ment, which has attracted wide inter
est. The Albany Herald makes this
reference to the good work of Messrs.
Cocke and Crouch: “The Albany
youngsters put up a spirited battle
against the more experienced Dawson
team, which proved itself to be one
of the strongest doubles teams ever
seen in action on a local court. Dawson
finally won, 8-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.”
rt“ashion Creator Talks of Dress. An
¢ . kle Length Is The Proper
}3; .+ Thing at This Time.
i Ankle length skirts, Draping of the
!g’pwn to clothe the body without hid
ling its beautiful lines. High boots in
lco]ors to match gowns.
| These are the last word in fashions
dor women as told by Paul Poiret, of
Paris, now visiting New York for
the first gime since 1913.
M. Poiret smiled indulgently over
all the fuss that has been made against
ilong skirts and waved it aside with a
!graceful sweep of his artistic hand.
. “There are always women who re
sist the fashion,” he said, “but in the
’cnd they ‘always follow it. They are
usually about three years behind, and
‘sareally out of fashion all the time.
,4{As tor.me, I do not listen. When
Igbegan 20 years ago with the narrow
3Rirt there was a furore of opposition.
Women-said it gave them no room to
} jve.. When 1 started the full skirt
‘itg‘wa:‘- the same, they objected to the
fullness.. .
'Y Women Contrary, He Says.
j "It is not necessary to pay much at
‘tention to what women say. They are
‘always dominated by a spirit of con
trariness.”
The man, who is known and follow
ed: by millions of women throughout
the world as creator of their ideas for
dress, and who care so little what they
themselves think they want, is himself
as original as many of the daring ideas
he has developed. Of medium height
and stock build his movements might
be, heavy, but they are not. There is
the grace of the dancer in his step and
the ‘case of an actor in his every pose.
His iron gray hair is smoothed back
pompadour above a face covered with
short bristly beard. His large, blue
eyes are filled with keen understand
ing and interest and twinkle ever so
lightly as if with secret merriment at
the gasps his fashions cause.
Dress for the Male.
As an example of dress for the
American man M. Poiret’s costume a
recent morning would be a knockout.
Over conventional enough gray trous
ers, shirt, collar and tie he wore a
light tan lounging jacket of fearly
knee length with high roll collar un
buttened at the throat. In the pocket
on the upper left breast was a blue
and brown striped silk kerchief. M.
Poiret was shod with crimson boots,
surmounted by tan spats.
“I was surprised and shocked,” he
said in telling of an hour’s inspection
of New York crowds at Times square,
“to see so many so high short skirts.
When I started the short skirts a ter
rific protests that it was immoral came
from America. Coming to this coun
try, reputed to be so moral, I had not
expected to find the exaggerated short
skirt, but here it is at the same ex
cessive degree of shortness which we
had in Paris in 1917.”
M. Poiret conceded that he had not
been in America long enough to see
what the leaders of fashion were wear
ing. But skirts must be long, now, he
said, and would eventually reach the
ground. This, he said, would come by
degrees, ankle length being proper at
this stage of the reversion from short
-skirts. .
MRS. HARDING SETS GOOD
EXAMPLE FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Warren G. Harding, wife of
the- president of the AJnited States,
still prefers to buy her hats in her
home town, Marion, O. Golda Ste
phenson, of Marion, has designed a
special hat for Mrs. Harding. Paris
and New York city are out of the
running in comparison, Marion resi
dgnts declare. Mrs. Harding buys
from her home dealers, a good exgm
ple for other women.

When Mixed with Sulphur It
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre at Once.
Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful "appearance.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
oray and looks streaked, just a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred-fold.
Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound.” which is
merely the old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients.
Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides,
no one can possibly tell, as it darkens
so naturally and evenly. You moisten
a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing
this through the hair, taking one ‘small
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another applica
tion or two, its natural color is restored
and it becomes thick, glossy and lust
rous, and you appear years younger.

to use with your peanut picker; to pump water, to saw wood, to bale hay and to operate your ensilage cutter. Simple
in operation and requires the least amount of fuel.
The Royal, Jr. Hay Presses are the most substantial and satisfactory hay presses on the market. Combiing sim

We sell the Adriance Mowers and Rakes. These machines save time, horses and money harvesting your crops.
They are the simplest in construction, most substantial. have lightest draft and are easiest to operate. '
Wagons made especially for use in this section—The Sunny South. In our years in business we have found no bet
