She enjoys Il pound of h best sweets

She enjoys Il matinee at the theatre

wisdom to select Il good play.
SHE enjoys dancing all night and say

because she knows how to dance, and
realizes that these special boys appre-
ciate her.
She even enjoys the heavy German
opera because She is healthy enough to

ETIQUETTE OF THE CARRIAGE.
We used to think that London and
Paris were far ahead of US III their
smart showing of carriages, but that rs
| no longer so. New York has got to be
very correct as far as the stable IS con-
! cerned. and you know the swagger set
is largely inclined to be the horsey set.
1t must be confessed that the swell men
either initiate their grooms or permit
their grooms to initiate them. HOrsey
gentlemen always suggest gentlemanly
horses to me. You know the kind. The
sort that look we'll enough to ride for
awhile, are then given to the children to
drive in Il phaeton, and eventually end
their lives III the service Of a cab stable.
Of course, there are women who do not
know what perfection i'll Il carriage rs.
There is a woman who always looks to
me as if she might say that she hailed
from Billyille, and who is the daughter
Of Il many times millionaire, and this
one concludes that rs she can nave any
trap she wants she will pay no attention
to the fact that certain laws, rules ana
regulations constitute carriage etiquette.
In the first place she sits on the wrong
side. y lady mould always De on the
! right of her carriage just behind her
~coachman. In the second place, this
lady is given over to the jangling of
chains, which is a worse stamp of vul-
| garity than Il claret livery with white
collars and cuffs and gold braid. Then
her carriage is not, as it ought to be,
immaculate. One concludes that there
IS no capable body to order the stable
people just how to keep it, while the
footman looks as if he wanted a rod APP
piled to him to make him sit up. \
good footman ought to look as if he had
swallowed Il board, which had attached
itself to his spinal column, II if there
are thousands of accidents OH the streets
and hundreds of exciting episodes he
ought to look perfectly impassivc and
absolutely unmoved. When such a
footmmn is got he is a treasure.

BEEN PREACHING 80 YEARS..


The Career Of Il Roanoke Minister OF
The Gospel Still II Active Service.
TO the Editor: | noticed a clipping III
your PAPER a few days ago III regard -
Rev. James NeedhaIn. in which he is
referred 10 as 80 years old. and had
been preaching for - years.
| wish to correct the latter statement.
James Ncclham was born in Randolph
ounty y. G.. in May. 1899. and began
preaching rho gospel in 1920. so he
has been preaching nearly 80 years in
stead of - years
He is certainly a most remarkable
man. He started on the round Of the
Nj. Airy circuit with the pastor last
July and went the entire round Of the
circuit. not missing Il single appoint
ment. holding rrotracted services IN
each charge. 1t took them three and
a half months 10 max til" round. There
were considerably more than 2oD convcr-
sions as ii result Of this work. IncI"
Needham did Il great deal OF tn"
preaching. and did o miss u single
night service.
II. has been here helping til" pastor
of Mt. Airy Station III a meeting over
two weeks. and has preached ten or
twelve sermons. and lead in prayer at
almost every service. He can repeat al
most any chapter in the Bible. and. as
be can't see TO read now. gets up N
the pulpit. repeats Is lesson. takes Ms
text. giving reference always 10 tn"
chapter and verse where it may be
found. He then delivers his sermon III
a clear and logical. though plain and
