OF INTEREST IN THE
—-SOCIAL REALM
WHY THE BUTTERCUPS, JON
QUILS AND OTHER FLOW
ERS ARE YELLOW
One day the floxwr fairies were
dancing and playing in the sun
shine when White Violet exclaimed.
‘‘Let’s catch sunbeams, and after
we have a great, great many we’ll
play a game with them.”
Silver Moss was charmed with the
idea and when they had caught ever
so many, even more than they could
hold in their hands, White Violet
said: “I know what we can do. We
can fin dsome spiders and have them
weave bags for our sunbeams.”
And all afternoon they ran and
flew over the meadows and through
the v.oods, catching the golden
beams and putting them into their
cobweb bags the spiders had woven
for them. Other fairies, seeing them
having such jolly times, called out:
“What are you doing? What are
you putting in your bags?”
And the fairies replied: “We are
catching sunbeams. Don’t you want
some?” The other fairies said they
did, and before long all the fairies
were catching sunbeams.
Nobody noticed that the big old
sun was getting lower and lower;
and that birds were going to their
nests, until, all of a sudden, it
seemed the sun was gone and there
were no more sunbeams to catch.
Then everybody sat down and drew
a long breath and wondered w.hat
in the world they would do with the
sunbeams now they had them.
“I’ll tell you what to do,” said
White Violet. “We are all too tired
to play with our sunbeams tonight,
so let’s put them in our flower beds
and go to sleep? and then in the
morning we’ll be ready to play with
them the first thing.”
Those who had started early and
had a bag full of sunbeams dumped
their bright gold in the center of
the flowers and all over the sides,
too.
And every fairy went to sleep and
they slept so soundly they never
knew that ini the middle od the night
the queen fairy waved her wand in
a dream and changed all the sun
beams to gold and melted the gold
into the flowers. The fairies never
even guessed when she did it.
But in the morning, when they
waked up, there in the very center
of every flower was a spot of gold
and the flowers that were entirely
full of sunbeams the night before
were all turned to gold.
And ever since then, there have
been some golden flowers, butter
cups, golden glows, marigolds, etc.
—but in the heart of every floviar is
a spot of gold, where the sunbeams
lay.—Selected.

THE W. C. T. U. ENTERTAINS
One of the most enjoyable occa
sions of the season was that of last
Friday evening when the W. C. T. U.
was hostess honorary mem
bers, friends and the state president,
Mrs. Miles Dillard, of Emory Uni
versity. It was a great pleasure to
her friend of by-gone days to have
a hearty handshake and indulge in
reminiscences. It will be remember
ed by many that her husband had
charge of the Methodist church here
the first part of their married life.
She gave an interesting talk which
called forth several impromptu
speeches from the men. The parlor
and main Sunday School were
thrown open for the social hour, dec
orations of buttercups and daffodils
being used.
A most delicious salad course
was ser% r ed after which the guests
left, feeling indebted to every one
who had contributed to such a
pleasant occasion.

Park Newton, Mrs. Harvey Maddox,

nutrition” by Mifes Susie Matthews,
assistant director of the State Board
of Health. She is establishing class
es in various schools of the state

very inconvenient for hostesses to
entertain in their homes.

mittees .appointed for the meeting
of the Sixth District clubs, which
will be held here on the second
Wednesday in May at the Baptist
church.
The attractive home was made
into a bower of loveliness with quan
tities of jonquils, hyacinths, narcis
si and peach blossoms. The Easter
idea was carried out in the dining
room, the central decoration for the
table being a quaint little nest filled
with bright colored Easter eggs. Rab
bits and • other Easter novelties
adorned the table. A salad course
vvth iced tea was served after the
program.
