storm struck the southeast por-

moments left desol2tiou where
happiness had been the moment
before, left bleeding and man
gled bodies Of the dead and
the wounded, where health,
strength and action had been.
Laughter, myrth and pride was
replaced with the shrieks Of the
dying and of those wailing for
their lost ones. mingled with the
groans of the crashed and man
gled citizens tied down under
broken timbers and masonry.

wings swept up from the south
west and after finishing it's
work Of destruction tore across
forty miles of fertile, populoas
country and struck Newtown
where its work in proportion
was still more horrifying than
at KirksviIle.

country and both towns from

The Century Club.

The ladies OF this bright Rttle
club entertained themselves and
their geutlemeh friends on the
evening of May 1st, at the res
idence of Mrs. Harry Lynn,
their efficient secretary. It was
an ideal May evening and the
interior of Mrs. Lynnis charm
ing home was u bow er of spring
loveliness, carrying out in the
floral decorations the club col.
ors, green and white. The
archway in the reception haii
was festooned with bunting in
the colors, caught with clusters
of white flowers, while from the
center depended the letters
&C. c." in green. In every
room the maEtels were filled in
with a profusion Of white flow
ers and green leaves, while the
bay-window and arches were
tastefully draped with green
and white bunting. Through
the open doorway OF the dlntng
room could be caught glimpseS
of the beautifully appointed
table, with it's graceful deCora-
tions. From the center of the
ceiling ribbons Of green and
white extended to the corners
of the table where they held
i punches of white flowers and
green leaves. Even in the
menu the color scheme was
carried out in the dainty green
shells of lettuce which held the
salads, as we'll as in the ices
which were layers of the two
colors. The supper was quite
an elaborate one, served in
courses, and it was almost
twelve o'clock before the last
table finished. Miss Alta Booth
was the guest ct honor. As
she is to make her future home
in Chicago, the club desired to
give her this farewell mark 0t
their appreciation, and to eX'
press their regret at losing her
from the club. The President
Mrs. Nichols made Il few grace
full remarks in farewell, and af
ter a necessarily hasty good,
