On last Wednesday afternoon
from 2 until 6, Mrs. w. o. Duston
threw open the doors Of her spa
cious and beautiful home on West
Broadway for the entertainment Of
the Ladies Of the Leaf. This re-
ception was given in honor of Miss
Fielder of Tyler, Texas, and was
an occasion long to be remembered
by those fortunate enough to be
present. +.
The reception hall and parlors
presented a scene of beauty. Cut
flowers in profusion, stately palms
and other tropical plants were
tastefully arranged about the
apartments. The air was filed
with soft strains of music, mingled
with happy voices and gay. laugh
ter of the assembled guests. Over
all fell the mellow light of shaded
lamps.
Mrs. Duston was assisted in re-
ceiving by Miss Fielder. her two
daughters, Mrs. Ringer and Mrs.
Fielder, and the Rev. Black and
wife.
The diversion for the afternoon
was Progressive Celebrities, and
proved not only an interesting
but an instructive pastime
and was much enjoyed By
all the ladies. The contest re.
suited in a tie between Miss Bern
hard and Mrs. Herbert Foster, 9
draw was made and Miss Bern
hard won the prize. Mrs. 1. R
Mason won the BOBBY prize.
After this pleasant hour the
ladies were invited into the dining
room. This room was especial!
attractive with decorations o
white ribbon gracefully twinet
with smilax and its beautiful car
nations. Here dainty refreshmenti
of chicken salad, olives, coffee
cream and cake were served.
After an hour of social converst
too soon came the hour of depar
ture, and as each guest bade adler
to the charming hostess and he
, fair guest, it was with the feeling
that most enjoyable Afternoon
had been spent in her delightful
home.

The recent snow storms and cold
waves In the north have &C last
exerted an influence on our weather
and yesterday morning our people
awoke to realize the comforts Of
overcoats and wraps. The atmos-
phere was cool and invigorating
with a suggestion of snow in the
air.
People moved with renewed en-
'ergy and no complaints were heard
against old Boreas. 1t was the
kind of weather which brings
thoughts Of turkey and cranberry
sauce and celery and other good
things which generally grace the
table on Thanksgiving day and
cause dyspepsia from that time
until Christmas. But we are always
ready for another dose Christmas,
especially if the weather continues
cold.
This is the kind of weather, too,
which suggests activity to the be-
nevolent societies and opens the
purse of the philanthropist, Fol
with cold comes suffering to the
needy-clothes and fuel and some
times food are needed. The present
cold spell offers opportunities tt
the beneeolenNy inclined in Ard
more, and perhaps some activity
along this line during the early
days of the week will make Thurs
days dinner even more enjoyable
by the thought of good deeds per
formed.
Winter is upon US and "th,
poor ye have with you always"

Latest Advertising Scheme.

One Of the oldest advertising
schemes yet evolved in this sharp
school Of competition is that of wom-
ans tailor, writes the New York corre-
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
His shop is In a down town business
street where women rarely go to buy
clothing. He has had mounted on a.
truck huge showcase with plate glass
windows, behind which specimens of.
his work are neatly displayed. Three
horses driven slowly carry it through,
the streets in the shopping district. 1t
provokes an unceasing torrent of pro-
family from cab drivers and truckmen,
but has made a hit with the women.

Yesterday morning Otto Brad

Har0roYe Notes.

Our first regular term examina-
ton has been held during the last
three days and teachers and pupils
have been very busy. Those pu-
pills who have been diligent in
their study since the term began
find that they can easily make the
grades required to pass them on to
new work. But. as is natural,
those who have been slack in their
work find themselves weighed and
wanting.
A. II. Law and family of Wood
ford visited their daughter, Lula,
Sunday and Monday.
Miss Bessie Pulliam visited
friends at Marietta the first of the
week.
John Bailey entered school
Tuesday.
President Whitten went to
Cheek and Lone Grove this week

dents are coming from those places
Miss Barlow dined with Mrs
Tom Williams Friday.

close to the ancient town of Iconium. a

La breaking away from the ira.
ditions which have long since die
tated q minstrel first part AL. G.
Field has only given another ex-
ample of his leadership in all that
is original and best in the minstrel
world. The first to relieve the
opening scene of his performance
of all that the eye had SO long
tired Of, he was also the first, when
lis innovation was copied by 9TH
ers. to improve and expand his de-
parture far beyond the initiative
powers of rival minstrel organiza-
tions. This year he has taken an
other stride forward in the realms
of originality, and in consequence,
comes to US with first part set
ting, which for novelty of design
and beauty of execution. has never
been equaled. Abreast of the
time. in all things, he has taken
for his inspiration the Paris expo
sition and in his first part shows
US a night in the gay French capi
tai. during the progress of the
great carnival. Brilliant lights
everywhere throw their rays
upon a scene of dazzling splendor
and bewitching loveliness. The
costuming, the scenic effects,
the figures upon the stage all
blend into an ensemble ex
quisite in the extreme. The pro.
gram is in keeping with its sur
roundings. The sweetest of sing
ers, the merriest of testers, the
most enhancing music, all com
bine to complete the picture. TIL,
ideal of an American minstrel frs
part. AL. G.. Field has given u.
:, many evidences of his genius il
the minstrel world but nothing
which so surely straps him as 1
past master of his art, than hi
