badly the only fixed idea in the mind of her
guests is regret at being out of their own
houses. There is little variety, little conver-
sation, much monotony. The collection of
people has no apparent beginning, no plan,
no form; il has but one merit, that of coming
to an end. 1t would he mockery to say
that there are substances TO eat and liquids
to drink; there are things not to eat
and not to drink-bad tea and stony
cake, pcrcis cOB,edenda possibly, though
we even doubt their capacity to digest them.
Nothing can give coloring or vivscity to
party brought together under such auspices.
If it is a political one, the character of the
entertainment will be shown only by the
existence of n larger proportion of women
who are resolutely determined to cling to
their husbands arms, who are possessed with
a strong impression that they ought to say
goodbye to their hostess on leaving the
house. Swift alone might hope to effect q
reformation in houses of this class. We can
hardly venture to suggest few hints re-
turn to the first occupations of childhood is
absolutely indispensable. Let her copy out
in a fair hand facts of importance such as a
list of the Cabinet Ministers or the menu for
the dinner of the day, and write two or three
pages daily in a copy-book embodying some
such beautiful truism as that ''Procrastina-
tion is the thief of time," or that manners
make the woman as well as the man. This
would be a step in the right direction. .-L0n-

Obituary.

The death is announced, in his sixty-ninth
year. of Mr.. John Wood, the artist. For
many years, until incapacitated by illness, he
was a constant exhibitor on the walls of the
Royal Academy, where, as a student, he
gained several medals, among them the gold
medal, in 1925, for his picture of Joseph
Expounding the Dream of Pharaoh's Chief
Butler and Baker" His largest and most
important works were the altar-piece Of the
Ascension" in st. James Church, Ber-
mondsey, and the Baptism of our Saviour
in the Jordan, which was chosen in public
competition by the late Prince Consort as
worthy of the $1,000 prize offered
by Mr.. Bell, member of the
Baptist denomination. w. j.
Prowse, who, says the Echo, in the
course of brief life did great amount of
literary work, though in quiet and unob-
trusive manner, died at Clinics, near Nice,
on the morning of Easter Sunday. For
several years past he was a member of the
editorial staff of the Daily Telegraph. His
latest written words, however, are to be
found in paper in the current number of

from Mr.. Carlyle, on the emigration ques-

debate in one of the Australian Legislatures:

ization, and show that, the war having end
ed dsnstrously, the Southern people will turn
upon South Carolina tho most scrutinizine
inquiry as to the part taken by the State in
the conflict which she inaugurated. The ac.
tion of South Carolina compelled the people
Of her sister States to stand by and see her
subjugated, or join in the struggle, and it be.
comes us now to show that South Carofinians
were not laggards in the strifo to which they
called tho South. And the Executive Board
believe that this can easily be done.
Out of voting population of less than g..
900, this State gave $4,000 soldiers to the
Confederate armies in tho first eighteen
months of the war, and, during tho whole
war, at least one soldier for every vote cast
for secession. More than t,oelve thousand
South Carolina soldiers diod in service, and
the Executive Board assert their belief that,
Of tho remnant of the glorious Army Of North
ern Virginia, which stood by its choftain to
the last, one. fifth were South Carolinians,
and this, although South Carolina was one
of the smallest of the nino States whose troops
composed that army. In support Of their
statements, the Executive Board cito report
of tho Adjutant. General, in which it is shown
that upon the Both August, 1862, the State
of South Carolina had in tho field al 1878
volunteers and 1,100 consoripts, and that, up
to that timo, tho number of. men contributed
by tho State to tho Confederate service ex.

Of infantry, eight regiments, of cavalry, and
