A GRACEFUL HOSTESS.

" HE secret of being good hostess is
in hiding the fact that you are max
ing an effort to please. The houses
to which you like bestto go arethose
where you feel at liberty to look
over books and portfolios, where the piano
stands open. and there are chairs without
elaborate cushions. In preparing for an
evening party, If you expect to have games
which involve real play, put away delicate
5ric-a -brac. so that no guest will have the
misfortune TO spoil his evening and yours by
accident Scatter picture books and single
views at the sides of the room for the benefit
Of those unfortunates, the wall-rowcrs.
There should always be corner set apart
COR those who do not dance. and this should
be la rye enough for n table at which game
may be played comfortably. Look after the
shy boys and eirls-that is one of the chief
duties of the hostess. II is better to try to
bring them into general sport than to devote
yourself to their amusement.

BICYCLE GIRLS BANG.

"HE bicycle girl has decided that she
cannot get along without curly
bang. Wini and rain and heat have
L combined, II not in removing the
bang, at least in Strengthening II;
out the bicycle girl Is not to be outdoue
by any capriccs OF the elements. She has
invented. therefore, what is known as the
bicycle bang" and confesses that 1t
brings her infinite comfort and satisfac-
ion. The bicycle bang is OF human hair
matching that of the weaTer, AMI is fast
ened on with numberiess dirriuutive pins.
The curl in the bang has been chemically
rreated and no ordinary experience Will
uncurI it-New York World.

THE SKIRT SCARE.

" HE rage for trimmed skirts is not
abating. War against them as
we may, every day they are in-
creasing in number. or course,
it's the tall willowy woman who
advocates all this frumpery, knowing, as
she does, II is death to her short, stout
sister.
Really, the plain, gracefully cut skirts
are far more artistic for either tall or
short women. Any decoration on the skirt
only tends to break up the graceful
.iues, and certainly Goes not add to the
beauty of the gown.
The panel is one of the favorte skirt

GROOM YOUR HAIR.

TT PPARENTLY the numbcr of girls
who are dissatisfied with the color
~ of their hair is legion. The girl
with dark hair wants to know what
will make 1t light, while the fair
girls ambition is for hair the color of a
ravens wing. Good advice is to leave the
color OF the hair alone, and to devote their
energy to keeping it in good condition. 1t
goes without saying that the hair should lie
well brushed every night-but not with a
hard brush. A hard brush irritates the
scalp Just as a small toothed comb does, and
falling of the hair is the result. Hard brush
ing with a soft brush is the way to make
the hair soft and glossy, and to encourage
It's growth.

It should not only be the policy to
preserve the shade trees in every town
but the purpose and practice to increase
and perpetuate their number. AS an
exchange remarks: ''Some towns, and
especially in the South, cut away their
shade trees in order to show off, their
business centers. Business will show
itself if backed by the right kind Of
spirit. We have always advocated
shade and prefer it to awnings, which
are generally the substitute. Comforts
to pedestrians and folks generally in
hot weather, are not many, but shade
is one, and if it can be had for a little
care and less expense, give "a shade
trees, we say, first, last and all the
time, business center, at homes, and
wherever the feet of humanity tread or

Miss Nettie Allen, who has been
teaching in the Wilson Graded School:
We learn with much regret that Miss
Allen, who taught SO acceptably in our
Graded School the past year, has de-
clined Q reelection to accept a position
in the Normal and Industrial School at
Greensboro. This is quite an honor to
Miss Allen and to our school. Parents
and pupils will give Miss Allen up with
much regret for she won the confidence
and love OF all during her stay in Wilson.
Well trained, enthusiastic and devoted
to her work she has bright future be-
fore her in her chosen profession.
Miss Allen is graduate Of tho Nor
NAL and Industrial School, and she is
counted by President McIver ono of
the brightest young women who have
gone from its honored halls. The in
stitution is fortunate in securing her as
one of its faculty.

that there was some objection on the

therefore Mr.. Coleman and his pros-

sister, knew Of the arrangement and
went on the train, arriving ahead of

came over here in a carriage aud a
good deal Of excitement was created
when the team was driven to the court
house door and Mr.. Coleman and Miss
Clements went into the Office of the

trouble would perhaps ensue much in

Hint To Fault Finders.

Every community has them-growl-
ers and which moves
the Suffolk Herald to this utterance:
1.-The wonderful smartness Of the peo-
pie who do nothing but criticize the ac-
ton of officers in the discharge of their
duties, and the people who run their
own affairs as those of the public, is
appalling. No act performed or duty
done ever escaped their notice and
sharp criticism, and nothing is ever
done to suit them. They are 'growl-
ers,' and find their chief occupation in
loating and fault finding. 1t is singu-
lar that so much good sense and fine
talent ~ is never called On by the peo-
pie to guide and guard the affairs of
city, county and State.'
