SHE IECTURED ON ErIQr ETTE.
One woman's scheme for Giving
Drawinc-Room Talks.

A woman of cultivation and of recent
social opportunities once earned consider
ble money in a community where her pre-
tensions were celebrated. She first pub
listed an explanatory card in the local
press, setting forth what she intended &c
DO. She proposed giving a course of Ia
miIiar dra wing room talks on ma uners, the
etiquette of the street, of church. of letter
writing, of pa ying visits, OF various social
functions. and of everyday life al home
and at school These were TO be primarily
for children and for young people, SIM
ply because, although this was not stated,
she was sure that the parents would
lie too proud TO confess their own need
of them. This part was mana ged 10y
each ticket admitting not only juve-
nile, but one adult friend. The lecturer
knew that these elders would be glad
10 receive instruction that was not ap-
parently aimed at them She did not
reckon without her host. Mothers We're
quite ready to send their little ones and
to accompany them. The course of pTo-
cedure was according to the following
program: A question box was placed
ON the hall table, in which slips of pa
per were thrust, bearing inquiries on any
point of etiquette or fashion on which
the anonymous guest desired enlighten-
ment.
These were read and nswered { the next
wee kly meeting Then the elegantly, though
very quietly dressed and queenly- looking
speaker began her simple disserta ton or
current blunders and the proper perform
ance OF the subject ia hand. She touched
upon trifles that even the best books on
social usa GeS do not ma Ike clear, and gave
any new ideas or any Of the sea sons ca
prices in style. With these We're what
might be called ''standa -as'' OF conduct,
painsta kingly outlined for both girls and
boys, 80 that each might clearly understa nd
what Mrs. Grundy would have right to
expect under most circumstances that
could occur. For example, some Of the
heads touched upon under manners in
| Church were: the position in the pew,
ungainly attitudes, listening to the ser
mon kneeling, whispering, and laughing
attention tn strangers. staring at late
comers, turning the head. etc. Special to
boys: assistance with wraps, CARRYING
prayer books, etc. These lectures were
rendered slrightly by the manner of de-
livery. and were interspersed with Illus
trations and amusing stUries.-Good House

Wavy Bandsiof Fur,

Something novel in the way of fur trim
mings has been devised. Mink is sold in
undulating bands instead Of the old straight
way. IL costs littlef more, because. of
course, the wavy bands use more fur than
those that are straight cot. The waved de-
sign is decidedly handsome, and adds to
the flare OF the cut skirt, Ss it is applied
usually just where the sheath expands into
the fuller proportions noticed at and above

If great variety of color is forbidden
in the hats themselves, the pins with
which they are fastened on are not
thus restricted. A green velvet hat the
other day was pinned to the hair of a
pretty weaIer with one hatpin, set with
another of turquoise, and one
of moOnstones, to say nothing OF the little
jeweled butterfly clasp that caught the
veil at the back, and the gay-cnlOred
beetle tina t held it to the brim in front.

A Trip to the Blue Ridge.

Mr.. EDITOR: We left Williamson, s..
c.. at 7.05 Wednesday morning. July
9th, and reached Marietta at Is p. 10.
One Of our party had the misfortune to
get sick and grew tired OF life and laid
down on railroad track where he knew
a train had not passed in two years and
gave up, but the others, having compass
sion in their souls, went with heart full
of sym pathy and bucket full of water to
arouse the sleeper We left Marietta at
3.15p. M. and reached Col. Drake's, at
the foot of the Blue Ridge, two hours
later, where we stopped for the night.
Here we laid the sick to rest and listened
while he murmured with fervent lips,
sNow lay me down to Wake The
rest of the party then went to the top OF
the mountain to Fall Creek Falls, which
is near Grassy Knob. We can describe
the falls best by saying as tailor did
who saw Niagara for the first time,
"What beautiful place to sponge Is
coat" After good supper we spent the
evening in smoking and talking. Thurs
day, after a sumptuous breakfast, we
started for Brevard, N. c., but we're held
up q short distance from the house by
the keeper OF the toll-gate at Jones Gap,
who asked small remembrance Of u.
We paid flying visit to Conestee Falls,
and, after some trescherous passes, We
reached Brevard. At Brevard we were
entertained in royal style by Col. Joe
Duckworth in his beautiful home. On
Friday we spent very pleasant day on
Cooper's dill. and on Saturday we visi-
ted Cessar's Head with pic mic party
from Brevard, composed of six couples.
We got fine view Of Table Rock, Green
Vile, s. c., and hog Back Mountain !;
also q splendid view OF the country for
miles around and got back to Brevard
at dark, just in time to miss good rain.
We left Col. Duckworth's Sunday morn
ing at 1880, but were not 80 lucky on the
road. We were caught in narrow pass
and had to take the buggy to pieces and
take the horses out and run them all up
the hill to let some one pass, but we soon
reached Col. brakes, where we found our
sick partner anxiously awaiting our re-
turn and seemed glad to see US. We left
Col Drakes at eight CLOCK, took dinner
at Greenville, and, after hot and tire
some drive, reached Williamson at 6.3O
p. TO-, having had most enjoyable trip

inspiration to young men desirous Of
attaining true success in life and
courage to calmly face death.

President McKinley's peace terms
are decidedly liberal-too much so, we
fear. However, there may be diplo-
matte reasons for not demanding
everything in the Atlantic and the
Pacific under Spanish sovereignty.
The proposition submitted to the
Spanish government makes no claim
for money indemnity, but it requires
the REIMBURSEMENT Of Spanish author
ity in Cuba, the immediate evacuation
of Porto Rico and other islands in the
West Indies, and one Of the Ladrone
Islands. It is also stipulated that
the United States shall occupy and
hold the bay, harbor and city of
Manila pending the conclusion of the
treaty of peace. The American peo-
pie are both just and generous. With
out desire for colonial possessions,
they yet realize that the world is
every day growing smaller-electricity
and steam are annihilating distance.
Provoked to war by the inhuman deeds
Of the Spaniards in Cuba, they have
come into possession Of certain favored
spots in the great seas, and certainly
they do not distrust themselves to
the extent that they will refuse to ad-
minister affairs on these islands, thus
extending their trade and spreading
the blessings Of freedom. What the
President demands at the hands of
Spain is only simple justice to our
Selves and that he does not demand
more but illustrates the generosity Of
the American people.

The end of this war will end our
epidemics of yellow fever, everyone
Of which comes from Cuba, says the
Atlanta Constitution, and save our
country hundreds Of millions in pre-
venting paralysis of trade. But pure
ly in a commercial sense the end Of
this war will clear the business hori-
zon and We will enter on new era.
It will cause the banks, trust and
safe deposit companies to disgorge the
hundreds of millions of idle capital
for investment. New railroads, new
factories, new mills, new mines, new
ships, new commerce will be the
result; seyery willing hand will find
ready work, and every product Of our
land and our industries will find ready
and profitable sale. War is costly,
but whatever this war costs will be
abundantly compensated.

1t is worthy Of note that Lieutenant
Hobson is young man of genuine
religious devotion. Just prior to
starting on his hazardous trip with
the Merrimac he wrote his will and
mailed it to his parents at Greensboro.
Ala. The opening clause Of this will
reads thus: ''For my near and distant
future I leave myself without anxiety,
in the hands of almighty God" 1t
is also stated that when he started with
the ship he sought divine guidance in
the accomplishment of his undertaking.
Surely under the circumstances such
conduct cannot be classcd as mere
sentiment, but rather as indicative of
deep religious conviction. His ex-

The prospect at this time is very
bright throughout the South for big
cotton crop, but it would be absurd to
predict the size Of the crop which will
be gathered. August and September
are the critical months, and sudden
change in crop conditions is liable to
make all prophecies idle. Prices Of
course may be expected to depend
upon the size of the crop. If the
yield should prove to be equal to that
Of last year, it is hardly probable that
even so good price as last season
will be maintained. Our farmers are
not anticipating better price than
they received for the staple last sea-
son, and should it even 60 lower the
greater majority Of them are in bet
ter condition to stand it.

Our government does not need the
Philippine Islands, because they are
too remote. Unlike Cuba and Porto
Rico, which are in American waters,
these islands are in Oceanica, on the
border Of Asia, 10000 miles distant
from Washington and more than 5000
from our Pacific coast. The inhabi-
tants of these Islands are almost
barbarians, and it would require a
large standing army to watch over
them.
