Who Were They?

Thanksgiving day three young
ladies seated in buggy and
driving Il tired horse, near Ely,
happened to an accident. AS
they drove along they We're
merrily chatting aud the sub
iect certain widower. All at
once the buggy stopped. no one
was driving and the horse had
run two wheels off of a sixteen
foot bridge. One girl played
leap frog and took the dash
board with her as she left the
vehicle. The second one went
out sidewise and smashed a
front wheel and broke 4 shaft,
while the third one just set
there and squealed until an
aXel was sprung and both hind
wheels dished.

The view was expressed that children are neither imps nor angels, but embryo men and women, who, if developed on scientific principles in harmony with the laws of psychology, ethics and morality, will prove a blessing instead of a curse to society. One who has studied much concerning the neglect of parents to give wise and syste- matic training says. Young men let loose from school, particularly those whose parents have neglected to exert their infu- ence, plunge into every description of ex travaganc; thy know rule of action; they are ignorant of the reasons for moral conduct: they have no founda ton to rest upon, and until they have been severely disciplined by the world are extremely dan gerous membrs of socity." Mrs French in thio connection called attention to our vol unteer soldiery. Possessing bravery and patriotism of the highest order, with no doubt many other admirable traits, they seem to be greatly lacking in self-control. The least proVocation causes them to turn their weapons upon their comrades and friends and instead of being the protectors of the communities near which they are camped are looked upon with distrust. Who can doubt that unwise government in childhood is the chief cause of this unruly conduct?
 After discussion by the ladies the meeting adjourned to convene again next Saturday afternoon at o'clock.

the foul according to the method of the with quiet and most moving pathos. It's originality consists in the fact that it com pells the reader to agree with it's tragic ending as the only possible solution of the life tangle described in it. It's charm lies in the graceful and all sufficient art with which the subeet matter is treated and developed, in its firm yet delicate deinea- tion of character and of scenery. and in the success with which the high art level is maintained from the beginning to the end of the story. The cruelty and uproar of the world that swept the lovers to their doom do not disturb the quiet pathos that is the soul of the story, and the gloom that gathers thickly around them only in- creases the glory of the midsummer haze that so tenderly enfolds the lovers. The story is not without it's conventonalities, and one is somewhat suspicious of the flesh and blood reality of the Indian, Monaka- tocks, but when criticism has done it's worst the novel will lose none of its charms or of the artistic worth that places it among the very best works or fiction of the season.
 A northern paper thus comments: "rhe young woman novelist of the time seems to turn her thoughts lightly to colonial halls and ancestral acres, and Miss John. ston's eqort is one of the best examples or the class to which 1t belongs. The historl- cal novel, at best, a doubtful past, is
 
 than success Apart from the ethical error of attempting to teach history under the guise of fiction, the limitations of the au- thor, the regard for the truth, and the other self-imposed conditions often prove too great a burden for the ambitious writer, and the scheme collapses of it's own weight "Prisoners of Hope," will, however, take immediate and desrved rank, on it's own merits, as well as by contrast, as a superior work both in design, in style, and in eXecu- tion. Miss Johnston has chosen one of the most dramatic pages of colonial history; has filled it with living and breathing char acters, men and women of blood and of action, and has produced a novel which gives not only clearly, but faithfully, the spirit, the motive and the environment of the real and original IF. F. Vs." of the "Old ominion." Miss Johnston's work pre- sages more and better, and whether she continues in the prolific historical field, where material is so abundant, or takes an excursion in to the realm of pure fiction, her audience and following seem to b as sured.''

The Beautiful Misses Cummings. d

The Misses Cummings, two famous beau- ties of the last century, are the subjects of an historical novel that is soon to be pub lished. They were all the range in Eng land, and in the following letters of Wall pole QS5D to Horace Mann, the furor these women created is alluded to:
 You who knew England in other times will find it difficult to conceive what indif- ference reigns with regard to ministers and their squabbles. The two Miss Cummings are twenty times more the subject of con- versation than the two brothers and Lord Granville. These are two Irish girls, of fortune, who declared the handSomest women alive 1 think there being two, so handsome and both such perfect figures is their chief excellence, for, singly, I have seen much handsomer women than either; however, they can't walk in the park or go to Vauxhall but such crowds follow them that they are generally driven away.
 
 They went the other day. he says, to see Hampton Court. As they were going into "the Beauty Room" (so called from the presence in it of Lely's pictures of the beauties of Charles II.), another company arrived The housekeeper said "rhis way, ladies; here are the beauties' The Gun nings flew into a passion and asked her what she meant; they came to see the palace, and not to be shown as a sight themselves. The elder sister, who was not remarkable for sense, may have been the heroine of this story. She it was who told the king, then an infirm old man, that there was only one sight she still longed to see, and that was a coronation. On an- other occasion "she declared in a very vulgar accent, that if she drank any more she would be 'muclxibus' Lord said Lady Mary Coke, what is that? Oh, it is only Irish for sentimental replied Walpole Tn Lord Coventry she married a husband as foolish as herself who at a dinner party feighteen in Paris "coursed his wife round the table suspecting she had stolen a little red seized her. scrubbed 1t off by force with napkin, and then told her that since she had deceived him and broke her promise he would carry her back

There will be a unique and charming en- tertalnment given at the Birmingham sem- mary Friday evening, October 21

 A similar entertainment was given in Nashville during the Centennial when Mrs. Randle was assisted by Nashville talent. One of the Nashville papers, in commenting upon Mrs. Randle, spoke of her as "splen- did master of the piano." playing with the depth and feeling of superior artist.'
 Birmingham will warmly welcome Misses Woods and Meyer, who will appear for the first time in Birmingham, and who come with the "halo" which always crowns one who has studied in Germany.
 Misses Compton and Morton have been most cordial in allowing their beautiful new hall and Chickering grand to be used for this occasion.
 The entertainment is under the auspices of the ladies of the Church of the Advent
