B. Y. P. U. SOCIAL
The Intermediate B. Y. P. TJ. with
Mr. 0. It. Coope,- astheir leader had
a social on Friday evening, Septem
ber, 27, at the home of L. B.Still,Jr.
There were twenty-six young peo

ture of the entertainment was a Yo-

was proclaimed the champion. Con
tests and proms were enjoyed also.
Nice Distinction* at
to “Why” of Whittling
Whistling la the boy's own muaic.
according to the Springllcifl Repub
lican. It Is ns natural for him to
whistle aa It la for a bird to sing—
although the music la not always a*
melodious. But whistling, Hko other
practices, is restrained In society by
unwritten rules of etiquette. It is In
teresting to view tills subject from the
standpoint of manners.
A boy reprimanded, a servant dis
missed, goes away whistling, If ha
dares. He wishes to express contempt,
and he succeeds, at least, lu enraging
Ids master generally. A hobbledehoy
who commits some breach of the pro
prieties commonly bursts Into a whistle.
This Is to save his face, meaning no
harm; but it signifies “I don't corel"
which Is Just the reverse of the apolo
gy needed. At best it shows indiffer
ence; nt worst, as the dullest feel, in
sult and provocation.
Boswell tells a little story of wide
tllng Illustrating the Independent sig
nificance. Johnson and he were din
ing with tho duke of Argyll, who
asked a man present to fetch some
curiosity from another room. He
brought the wrong article, and the
duke sent him back.
The exact position of this man to
his host Is undisclosed. However, Boa
well says. “He could not refuse, hut
to avoid any appearance of servility
he whistled aa he went out of tha
room. On my mentioning this after
ward to Doctor Johnson he said It was
“a nice trait of character."
Boswell grasped with ease the ob
jection, which is unintelligible to soma
'persons. *>•s*•
Samplers in Hittory
The earliest mention of n sampler
so far found Is In 1502, when Eliza
beth of York paid 8 pence for nn ell
of Unen cloth to make one. A sampler
Is referred to by John Shelton, the
poet, about the some time. Originally
samplers were Intended for practical
puri*oses. Needlework and embroidery
were practically the only relaxation
of women at that time and samplers
were made for "handkerchiefs, table
cloths, sheets, towels, napkins and pil
low bearers.” The earliest American
sampler was that of Lonra Standlsh.
The next reported was that of Mary
Hollingsworth of Salem, which was
probably made about 1605. Sarah Lord
made one In IOCS,
Tree* Don’t Freeze
Notwithstanding the popular belief
that trees freeze In the winter, scien
tific Investigation has proved, accord
ing to a Belle Isle forester, that they
cannot freeze but remain dormnnt
during the winter much like certain
wild animals. "Every day or so some
one asks about the trees freezing,"
he said, “and they seem to doubt my
word. Sup circulation stops In the
winter and the cells remain Inactive.
The sap congeals and prevents freez
ing else the tree would die. Some
times frost will split a tree trunk
open but this Is due to contraction
and expansion and not to freezing.”

Aid* to Cool Greeting
One of the prized curios found occa
sionally In England Is the once popu
lar hand cooler. These implements
were spheroids of clear glass and
were used 150 years ago by society
llavorltes who considered It necessary
to have their hands cool when the gal
lant men bent low and kissed the fair
one’s hand In greeting. If the Indy
had one of the cool glass balls tn her
hand, which was extended to cover the
ball, she was supposed to be meeting
the highest demands of social correct
ness. Borne of the balls wore o, Wiped
