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.

In peach tree and plum tree they are seen, giving to those sap lings a brightness they could scarcely boast of io their hey-day of bloom. In one foatbery cedar a whole wreath of blossoms are harging in prettiest fash ion about the old evergreen’s branches —like childhood and old age, one muses—so, like love some late in life— or, like smiles in a weather beaten face. But whatever like, they are of a verily a morning glory, these days, as one goes to work in the early boors. The tbough’t of them lingers long after tbeir short day has ended. Those fairy tinted bells still ring—they ring out a proclamation of the beauty of the commonplace. They urge the lesson of living and loving in truth and sim plicity ; if making bright whatever lot in lifbone is called to fill; if making when one can, and at last tranquilly closing one’s eyes at the command of the Source of all Life, confident that the same Power that first awakened, can also re-awake.

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.
