pleasantly kepokted for
SUNDAY’S CALL.
A ripple of laughter, and repartee bright*;
A rustle of curtains that shook out the
light .
Os the broad sun, new-risen, o’er meadows
and lakes,
And her eyes, and her red lips, and coffee,
and cakes!
And who with the world would that
breakfast divide?
But a crust were a banquet with her at
my side!
A ripple of laughter—a rill of it, sweet
As the rills that toss lilies past meadows
of wheat ~
When the June birds are singing o’er
green fields and brakes;
And her eyes, and her red lips, and coffee
and cakes!
And who with the world would that
breakfast divide?
But a crust were a banquet with her at
my side!
The light of her eyes, and the light of her
face,
And the sun’s light, gold-sifted through
curtains of lace;
The breath of the morning o’er meadows
and lakes,
And the blessing of Love over coffee and
cakes!
Ahl who with the world would such
breakfast divide?
But a crust were a banquet with her at
my side!
Io fall the atmosphere is always
perfumed with orange blossoms, and
the modesle and milliners have as
tbeir petted customers young women
who have whispered conversations to
them, drawing at the same time from
their pocketbooks samples of silk, sat
in and tailor cloths. The prospective
brides of this season, following French
fashions, must, according to the fad of
the French bride, adopt a color as the
favored one in tbeir trouseau. This
color, whether the favored color of the
season orjnot, must, be becoming to
the fair wearer. Her traveling gown,
visiting gown, and her evening fgown
should be of this color, with a hat or
two to match, and all the little acces
sories of toilet to match.
The “garden party,” at which Mrs.
Thomas Mills entertained on Monday
afternoon, was a brilliant .affair, and
opened the weeks’ gaieties in the most
delightful manner possible. The lovely
home was artistically decorated with
palms and hothouse plants, and the
occasion bad an added charm in the
presence of many beautiful women,
exquisitely gowned. Mrs. Mills, who
is one of our handsomest, as well as
most lovable matrons, wore a becom
ing toilette of black grenadine, with a
touch of lavenc'er. Mrs. R. Hamiltou
Pate has for the last week or so been
the guest of Mrs. E. P. Johnson, at the
Powell House, and has been very much
admired Mrs. Pate dresses with unu
sually good taste —on Monday after-,
noon she wore a lovely gown of pink
and green taffetas, and with it, a large
Gainesborough bat, with many waving
plumes. Miss Florrie Jean Richards
was gowned in a dainty frock of pink
sprigged organdie, over yellow taffetas
.and presented a charming appearance,
as she does always. Mrs. Joseph M.
Thomas wore a skirt of black taffetas,
with a beautiful bodice of vivid green
satin, profusely trimmed with narrow
black velvet ribbon. About 50 guests
enjoyed Mrs. Mills’ hospitality, and
the occasion was a distinctive and
charming one.

It is certainly gratifying to the pub

who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The propri

apologizing prettily for absent pears
and potatoes. In peach tree and plum

boast of io their hey-day of bloom. In

blossoms are harging in prettiest fash

—like childhood and old age, one

one goes to work in the early boors.
The tbough’t of them lingers long after
tbeir short day has ended. Those fairy

proclamation of the beauty of the
commonplace. They urge the lesson
of living and loving in truth and sim

closing one’s eyes at the command of
the Source of all Life, confident that

delightfully at luncheon last Friday in
honor of Mrs. C. H. Tebeault, of New
Orleans. The pretty table bad a tall
vase filled with lovely American beau

brightened with gleaming cut glass
and silver. Mrs Beeks, who is a most
graceful and attractive hostess, wore a
pretty gown of black grendine, over
crimson taffetas. Mrs. Tebeault was
exceedingly handsome in a dark blue

One of the newest and handsomest
importations seen this fall is a costume
of blue gray cloth, that admits of be
ing worn in five different styles. The
coat baa a collar and seams of black
velvet, studded with tiny steel dots,
and a trippie row of fastenings admits
of the possibility of five suits in one,
for a cbemistte and shirt waist can be
worn with the open coat, and the coat
fastened tight on one shoulder, is
puffed, and gives the other three styles.
A charming garmiture of steel buckles
trims this unusually pleasing waist.
The skirt has the flare fashionable,
outlined with two folds of satin, each
fold caught with a tiny buckle, as on
the waist. The whole suit is lined
with a shimmering silk of blue grey,
shading softly.

more regiments of soldiers at Camp

North Carolina’s Experience-
North Carolina is going through a
lesson of experience that is
costing the white people of the
state very dearly ; but it goes
without saying that when the white
people of the state get into control
again, they will run tbeir party or
ganisation to tbe best interests of tbe
state, and tbe remainder of tbe world
will be allowed to settle tbe free silver

Cotton Seed Oil-
The south can save many hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually by
using cotton seed oil for cooking pur
poses instead of lard, says tbe Augusta
Chronicle, and goes on to say that
there has been some objection hereto
fore on account of rancidity, but this
need not be the case. Tbe Augusta
oil mills furnish a fresh, sweet and
pure article, and culy habit and preju
dies keep people from its use In the
kitehen. A prominent gentleman of
this city asked bis wife to try it in
stead of lard, but she refused to do so.
He then told the cook to use it exclu
sively and she did so. Tbe lady ot tbe
house never knew that oil instead of
lard was being used until so informed
by her husband, who showed her all
jftbe lard unused by the cook Cer
tify a pure vegetable oil Is better then
grease made from all kinds of hogs,
many of which were possibly diseised.
Some day, perhaps not very distant,
the mineral oil supply will be exhaust
ed, or oil will take its place in many
w<ye.
The south has numerous elements of
wealth, but she does not properly util
ize all of them. When the south learns
to live more independently she will
then become tbe richest section of the
Union.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRI? OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California. Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Sybup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and tbe satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remembefthe name of
the Company—
