THE TEST When you’re sick and tired of waiting For good luck to come your way, What’s the use of hesitating? Why give up in quick dismay? Why not pull yourself together, Make a move and shovy some fight? If you wait for sunny weather, Friend, you never will get right. ’Tis when clouds of temper lower And the way lies dark before— ’Tis when trouble comes in power And incroaches more and more: ’Tis when sorrow’s spies assail you And you’ve got to do or die, That success will hardly fail you, If you’ 11 be a man and try! —PAUL COOK. Superior Man. “You women/’ observed Mr. Ponsonby, with increasing scorn; you women with your bargain sales make me tired. You pull and tug and trample one another tear your clothes and suffer any amount of discomfort for the sake of a slight reduction in price, which isn’t worth the trouble. Now men don’t do that way. You very seldom hear of a man who takes an interest in bargains, because men know that bargains are fakes.” “Maybe so. my dear,” said Mrs. Ponbsonby thoughtfully. “Are you going back to the of fice this afternoon?” “Why no,” answered Mr: Pon sonby, rising hurriedy and look ing at his watch, “There’s go ing to be a double-header at the ball park this afternoon. I may have to sprint for a car and hang to a strap and get my corns stepped on and my hat smashed, but I’m not the person to pass up a chance to see two baseball games for fhe price of one.” — Exchange. The presence of so many young ladies in the town adds much to the gaity of Chautauqua week, and after the evening perform ances informal gatherings seem proper while merry squads in vade the different cream parlors for a refreshing drink. It is safe to say that the young people, at least, had a glorious week and regretted to see it pass. For Miss Gowdy On Friday evening Mrs. Ray mond Carmichael entertained at a “Marshmallow Roast” for her charming guest, Miss Maude Gowdy, of Union Springs, Ala. In the parlors white and pink roses predominated, and candles were placed on tables and pedes tals and wooden forks were pro vided with which to roast the marshmallows. In the dining room the large table held a pla teau mirrow on which rested a great bowl of yellow nasturtiums which made an attractive center piece. A novel contest “Adven tures of an Engaged Couple proved a popular mode of enter tainment. Punch was served in the hall throughout the evening by Miss Bessie Thaxton. Cream and cake was served late in the evening. A number of charming visitors were present at this de lightful affair.
