This was charming affair from 8
to II O'Clock, P. NJ. The lovely home
was ablOssom with countless beau
tiful flowers, and so lavish was the
exquisite decorations, that the flow
ers were estimated by the bushels
instead of lunches, and the whole
house was delightful with their
fragrance and beauty. Magic Ian
terms brilliantly Illuminated the
scene. Both halls were aglow with
light and adorned with potted
plants and cut flowers. The sitting
room was a scene of beauty-the
curtains were sprayed with ferns,
the mantel banked with balls
and lilies of the Nile, and from each
chandelier hung lunches of white
flowers tied with white satin stream
ers. The dining-room was especial
ly attractive, and the table decora-
tiOns beautifully unique. Running
from each corner of the table to the
chandelier were little ropes of ex-
quisite red roses, and numerous
handsome candelabra lighted up the
room with the brilliance of the mid
day sun.
The bride and groom received con-
CALCULATIONS IN the sitting-room. De-
licious lemon ice, with strawberries
and lady fingers, was served early in
the evening, and, at a later hour,
the guests were ushered into the
dlning-room, where they were feast
ed to Neapolitan cream and cake.
The refreshments were elegant and
were direct from Gerding's, Nash
vile. This was pretty reception,
and the cOlors-white and green-of
the decorations, corresponded with
the hue of the wedding adornments.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Rattle Snake Falls Party.

Certainly it was congenial, de-
lightful party of picnicers that filled
to their utmost capacity two com
Portable vehicles, last Saturday, and
it was merry, jolly party, bent on
thoroughly enjoying few hours in
the balmy spring sunshine, and u
trip to Rattle Snake Falls. 1t was
arranged and directed by Mrs. T. b.
Rains and Miss Charlotte Hender-
son, and they were assisted by more
than score of charming misses.
Bright faces glowed and young
tongues clattered as the party
bowled along past the town and out
upon splendid country roads. There
were on every side well-appointed
homes, which indicated the thrift
and taste of the inmates, fields of
new corn, and huge oaks, which
seemed to hold mysterious histories
of generations in their trunks and to
whisper to the soft morning breeze
of a fast receding past. 1t was not
long with the good roads, good
horses, and charming company, be-
fore the point of destination was
reached and Rattle Snake Falls,
with all its loveliness, came into
view. The young people had pre-
pared delicious lunch of all man
ner of good things, which was soon
temptingly spread, and after enjoy
ing to the utmost the delightful re-
freshments, the party amused them
selves varionsly after the manner Of
picnicers. They then decided to
drive on to Summertown and have
delightful ride hOmeward with the
young moon lighting the way, and
merry songs by the young folks.
But on reaching the springs, the
heavens were opened, the floods de-
scended, and hail showers beat. The
young people were happy, for il gave
them one night longer away from
home than they bargained for, and
! they enjoyed it immensely, even if
they did have to sleep four in bed.
Mr.. Cornell, the hotel host, was very
kind, and, after supper, had the din
ing-room cleared, furnished the
music, and those inclined INDUCED
in delightful german.
Next morning the party started
homeward, having for many miles a
perfect carpet of green leaves, cut
down by the hail. They were sur
prised on reaching home Sunday af-
ternoon that no such harm had Wis
tied our gardens. The young people
are ready any day to go on another
lark.
The party was composed of Misses
Mary Rains, Ethel Hatcher, Emma

THE CURRANT WORM.
Information Supplied by the Indiana Ex-
pertinent Station.

R0kAAAoAS 0SANADAs
A bulletin from the Indiana expert
ment station says: The currant worm,
or, moro properly, the gooseberry saw
fly, was introduced into this country
from Europe about the year 1857, COM
ing, as did the imported cabbage but
terhy, by way of Canada. 1t is prob
able, however, that it was landed at
other points along our eastern coast.
Like most of our imported insects, it
spread very rapidly, until now it COW
Ors the greater portion Of the United
States.
This fly belongs to the order Hy-
menOptera, which includes the bees,
wasps and ants. It is known to en-
tomologists as a kind Of connecting
link between this order and the
Lepidoptera, to which belong the moths
and butterflies. The adults make their
appearance soon after the leaves Of
the currant and gooseberry bushes
come forth. The female lays her eggs
along the principal veins on the under
side Of the leaf These hatch in about
ten days, and the young larvae may be
detected by the minute holes which
they have eaten through the leaves.
AS they approach maturity they be-
come ravenous eaters, soon stripping
the bushes Of their foliage. They then
seek for a secluded place in which tn

LARGER PEACHES.
Thinning Out by Hand Is the Best Way

Thinning Out by Hand Is the Best Way
to Produce 1hem.
Mr.. j. Fl. Hale, one Of the greatest
peach growers in the United States, in
speaking of the manner in which he
makes success of the business, is re-
ported as saying that one must thin by
hand. He puts stepladders under the
trees and puts boys on them whose
bump Of destructiveness is large and
tells them to go ahead. He begins when
the peaches are three-quarters of an
inch in diameter and takes everything
that Is curculio-stung and diseased.
These he carts away and burns. The
rest that are taken off are dropped ON
the ground and left there.
In future, he says, three or four-year-
old peach trees shall not bear over $50
peaches; four or five-year-old trees not
over 300, and full-grown trees not over
500. That means six inches apart; 500
peaches on a tree will make six or eight
baskets of fancy fruit. Three thousand
peaches to o tree won't make more or
sell for more money, and the trees are
ruined.
Peach trees are planted on a good or
dinary corn or wheat land in a fair state
Of fertility. The holes for the trees are
dug about twice as large as necessary to
receive the roots and big handful Of
fine ground bone is scattered at the bot
tom Of the hole and two or three more
on the dirt, and that is worked in
around the roots at the time the tree
is planted. Then is put on muriate Of
potash. The next year is broadcasted
from 1000 to 1900 pounds per acre of
fine ground bone and from 400 to 800
pounds of muriate of potash or its
equivalent, and this is kept up every
year whether the trees bear or not.
1T is pretty liberal feeding, but it pays
to be liberal with trees" says Mr.. Hale.

A Plan Worth Conslderlng.

The North Carolina experiment sta
tion advocates a plan for buying and
selling cows at prices based upon their
milk yield. The rule is to pay $19 per
gallon for the milk given per day when
rich enough to show 3h per cent. Of
fat. To this price add or subtract a
dollar for every one-fourth of one per
cent. Of fat, which the test shows the
milk to be above or below 81 per cent.
