is a pleasant sight when teachers,

often ignored, "Train up a child in

old he will not depart from IT," is un-
heeded by tho 'lightbing calculators"

a meeting for the purpose of form

was held in the Court House at Winns-

The following commands were rep
scntcd: 9th S. Z. Regiment, 10Th S.

and Palmetto Sharp Shooters.
On motion, Col. Jno. B. Davis was
called to the chair. and Capt. I. N.

In consequence Of the inclcmency of
the weather and the small number
present, it was decided to appoint
some future day for permanent Or
ganization. Saturday the 3rd day of
April was fixed as the day.
A resolution was adopted, that the
chair appoint committee Of one from
each township to obtain the names of
all survivors in his township, and to
urge upon them the Importance Of at
tending the meeting on the 3rd of
April. Under this resolution, the

The importance Of the organization

county, can be obtained. 1t does not
interfere with organizations Of fparticu-

aid III keeping alive the interest in
them. 1t affords every survivor in
Fairfield county, in whatever com
mand he may served in the Confcdcr-
alto Army, all opportunity to record
his name and command; and it enables
us to recognize our comrades of the
war, and thus establishes that sacred tie
which binds all soldiers of the same
army. Besides, after this organization
is well under way, system Of aiding
the widows and orphans Of our dcccas-

washington Society in 1925.

The circle of what was termed
good society" at Washington had
been. and was then very limited III
its extent and simple in its habits.
Few Senators or Representatives
brought their wives to cheer their
congressional labors, and q parlor OF
ordinary size would contain all OF
those who were accustomed to attend
social gatherings. A few diplomats,
with the officers of the army and ma
Wy stationed at headquarters, were
accompanied by their wives, and
there were generally u few visitors
of social distinction. The most
friendly and cordial intercourse pre-.
vailed, and those who met at dinner
parties and at evening entertain
ments were like members of one fam.
lily, in general sympathy.
The costume ofthe ladies was class
ic in its scantiness, especially at
balls and parties. The fashionable
ball dress was of white India Grape,
and five breadths, each a quarter Of a
yard wide, were all that was asked
for to make a skirt, which only came
down to the ankles, and was elabor.
ately trimmed with a dozen or more
rows of narrow founces. Silk and
cotton stocking were adorned with
embroidered "clocks," and thin slip
pers were ornamented with silk
rosettes and tiny buckles.
Those gentlemen who dressed
fashionably wore Bolivar" frock-
coats of some gay-colored cloth, blue
or green, or claret, with large lapels
and glided buttons. Their linen was
ruilled; their "Cossack" trousers were
voluminous in size, and were tucked
into high "Hessian" boots with gold
tassels. They wore two and some.
times three waist.coats each, of diff
ferent colors, and from their watch.
pockets dangled a ribbon with a
bunch of large seals. When in full
dress, gentlemen wore dress-coats
with enormous collars and short
waists, well-stuffed white cambria
crayats, small clothes, or tight-ftting
pantaloons, silk stockings and pumps.

Beautiful Women.

The preceptive faculty Of women
is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in man. Wo.
man knows, or strongly believes,
that beauty rather than genius is
worshipped by the sterner sex. A
man may talk of the latter to his la.
dy'love; but the kneenness of the
woman knows he is thinking of the
former in his heart. Women have
an innate desire to please their beaux.
They are fond of admiration, hence
one of their longings is to be beauti.
full, to be called pretty, handsome.
The grand secret Of female beauty is
health; the secret of health is the
power, the appetite to eat, digest,
assimilate a proper quantity Of
wholesome food; yet in connection
with this, there is something impor.
tant-active exercise, which will
clense and tone the vital organs, gain
a perfect digestion, and produce a
state of mental and physical electric.
ity which gives symmetry of form,
bright eyes, white skin and glossy
hair, in fact genuine type Of female
beauty and lovliness which no COS.
metic can ever produce.

what an Old Woman Heard.

A droll mistake was made by an
imaginative old dame, who, having
permitted a telegraph pole to be
placed on the top Of her house, wait.
ed upon the chief of the Geographic
company concerned to complain that
she could get no sleep of night, be.

accusation with due gravity; but he

The Management of Little Folk

1t is useless to endeavor TO make a
child control his temper if you give
way to your own, to tell him to be
truthful while you are not strictly so,
to inculcate neatness while careless
of your own dress; the little folk are
keen observers, and will not respect
you unless you are worthy. Be care
full not to impose unnecessary in
structions-to forbid nothing with
out reason. 1t is well to infuse into
every child's~mfnds the wholesome
principle of self.respect, to teach him
that certain things are TO be avoided
and others cultivated, not because
you say SO, but because of his own
dignity and social position. So
should they be taught in their ear.
liest years that things are for their
good, that gentleness, unselfshness
and neatness are not only admirable
in themselves and pleasant in their
family circle, but that they make
their possessor welcome in the outer
world, and are excellent capital to
begin life upon. Children who are
waited upon, their wants anticipat.
ed, and all the machinery of their
world carefully oiled are often fretful,
exacting and troublesome.

The Human Figure.

The proportions of the human fig
u:e are six times the length Of the
feet. Whether the form Is slenderor
plump the rule holds good; any de.
Walton from it is departure from
the highest beauty in proportion.
The Greeks made all their statuesac
cording to this rule. The face, from
the highest point of the forehead
where the hair begins, to the chin, il
one-tenth Of the wholestatufe. The
hand, from the wrist to the middle
finger, is the same, From the top Of
the chest to the highest point of the
forehead is a seventh. If the face,
from the roots.of the chin, be divid.
ed into three equal parts, the firstdi.
vision determines the place where
the eyebrows meet, and the second
the. plpce.of the nostrils. The height,
from the feet to the top Of the head,
is the distance from the extremity Of
the fingers when the arms are ex.
tended.

Leap Year Hints.

Gills know only one.ouarter as
much about counting as boys, be-
cause they have only one year in
four in which TO practice.
AS a matter Of course, leap year
finds them poorly prepared to astep
in and win" and we will give a few
hints as TO how it should BE- done.
First, fixup il style, back your
boots carefully, heels and all, and if
the "shine" don't come in q hurry,
Stat the brush across the floor into
the corner quoting what scripture
you happen to know.
Twill be big job to put on your
collar and nock-tie, and the chances
IRE that there will be more looking
in the glass than in the case of a fell
low coming to see you.
Stroll down to the barber shop and
get shaved, and have the barber "oil
up" freely; otherwise all efforts to
grease the wallpaper will be futile.
On the way to "his'' house, speak
to all the fellows you know; this is a
good point and the only way to pay
him back for flirting with the girls
for three years.
AS you near the house, cross the
street and pass by it, This will,give
you chance to sec if the parlor is
lighted and to sufmise if any other
girl is calling.
If, wher you step up and pull the
door bell, your heart is not in your
mouth, then you've struck the wrong
house.
Inquire if the young gentlemen
are in, and-don't forget and wear
your hat, hang it up on the piano or
the floor, or some other place.
Chew cloves assiduously during
the call, otherwise che may think
YOU have been drinking"
If he is a little, timid, blushing
thing, talk about the weather, his
ma, his pa, and other distant sub
jects.
II he plays and sings, standup like
little man and turn the music-we
don't refer to an orguinette.
He'll probably yawn and cover up
an immense cape with his jewelled
hand; but don't take the hint.
Playfully turn the gas down; he'll
probably say 20, you shouldn't" but
recolleCt how he "doused the rlimn
last year.
You don't need to say much al
this point. Conversation is apt to
be a nuisance at critical junctures.
Previous experience will doubtless
suggest The course Of events for the
rest of the evening.
When the old lady calls out "It's
ten o'clock" don't mind it, wait un-
til she calls eleven and twelve, in
fact stay till you hear the milknan
rafting his cans.
Ask for a match to light your CT
gar, linger at the door half hour
longer, make him think that he is
your own and only-and go and see
an other fellow next evening.
