At Clemson College.
We had tho pleasure Of paying briof
visit to Clemson College last Monday
morning. While waiting tho hour for a
professional engagement we had a fcw
minutes Of leisure. and embraced the
opportunity to attend tho chapel cxcr

ing scene to witness over four hundred
boys flo in with military precision ant
take their places for morning worship

ncr. His brief but pointed application
of the Scripture lesson held up bcfor,
tho minds of these young men the highest
ideal and most worthy motive tina
should actuato tho apprcciative SUDDEN
in tho search after knowledge, after
truth. Every listener hung upon his
words, and it is safe to say many treas
urcd up his sayings. The quarter of al
hour devoted daily to this exercise must
make lasting impression for good upon
tho mind and heart of the young. Tho
moral and religious atmosphere that pcr
vadcs this institution is second to none
How can it be otherwise when the Ircsi
dent and his able faculty arc men OF
irreproachablc Christian character ? |,
may not be scctarian--propcrly it
should not, but Christianity, in tho
broad. catholic sense, is inculcatcd
Such is the tone and spirit that pcrmc
atcs Clemson, and you can feel it in the
very air 1t gives the boys an uplift and
plants their feet on the solid rock OF
right living and correct thinking. II

end of all education, the development OF
a true, symmetrical character as the re

We like to have the news and mention
of visitors from abroad is proper. But
there arc SO many good people in Oconec
county, who doubtless visit each othe,
every week, that 4 brief mention of the
fact would ill every column on all four
pages OF THE COURIER, and there would
be room for nothing else. Neither arc
comments on tho weather rcuured.
Everybody takes note Of the change OF
the seasons, and, besides, there is IN ac-
curatc weather calendar hanging on the
wall Of THE COURIER office. By con
SultinG it we can safely predict that ON
December 81, 1900, there will be either
snow or rain. so, kind correspondents,
give us the news, but steer clear of the
weather and local viSitalions.

Intinr writing Hintn.

In writing letters a woman should
keep in mind the following rules:
Business letters must be concise
and clear, because business people
are supposed to be busy.
No letter is complete without the
date.
In writing to solicit employment of
any kind, on no account should per-
sonal perplexities or needs be men
toned. The world is full Of unfor-
tunate persons, and to stranger the
troubles OF ono are no moro than those
of a host of others.
Letters of introduction are eftopen
when written.
Elaborately ornamented note paper,
as we'll as highly perfumed notes, are
vulgar.
When answering letters, remember;
That written words stand as ever
lasting witnesses.
That an ambiguous sentence is like
ly to be misinterpreted.
That friendly words never harm.
That written word of sympathy
can sometimes do much good.
That a letter written in a kindly
spirit should be answered in the same
way, even though the message is dis
liked.
That business letters and invita-
tions must be answered at once.
That lady acknowledges any
friendly offer or hospitality, even
though it be not by acceptance.
The suburban citizen., 1900-03-10
The Right Gloss.

There is a knack about getting the
right kind OF gloss on linen collar
and cuffs, but the method is easily
learned by a competent laundress.
The gloss desired is like that on new
linen and is produced by friction With
warm iron. The articles to bt
CLOSED are starched as much as pos
sible, according to the old-iashione6
method, and then dried. A piece o.
sperm, paraffine or white wax, the
size OF hazel nut is generally added
TO the starch. When ready to be
ironed the linen is dampened slightly
aud ironed in the usual way with s
flat iron. Then comes the glazing
A peculiar looking, heavy fiat iron,
rounded at the bottom and polished
as bright as mirror is used and is
pressed firmly upon the linen and
rubbed with much forco, thus pro
ducing the gloss. Plenty of friction
is the secret of CLOSING linen to per
feotion, but there is a knack in know
ing how to apply the friction.

nm ncinrennted nodlce.

While it is impossible to make last
years skirt look like a creation of
1900 with pleats all the way round
and from waist to knee, it is an easy
matter to brighten up or remodel an
old bodice and give it the air OF a
very new and attractive garment. The
corselet belt and the cravat are two of
the best aids toward such a change.
The former may be a plain, well-ftted
cuirass Of velvet, and fastened up to
the left of tho front with odd and
pretty buttons. II preferred q full
swathing OF satin antique or panne is
pretty; it should be boned to
give it frmness, and adorned by
long sash streamers or short sash
ends. These ends look we'll finished
with wide fringe, aud if crystal or jet
is mingled with the silk or chenille it
helps to weight the satin and make it
hang well. These corselets cover a
multitude of faults it any catastrophe
has happened to bodice at the hands
of a bungling dressmaker, with
crooked seams and an ill-behaved
basque as a result.
The bodice that has seen service
and worn shabby beneath the arms
and at the elbows may be restored by
means of O bolero. There are so
many versions Of these smart little
coats that the utmost license may be
allowed the fancy when choosing a
design. Very serviceable boleros are
of velveteen or velvet with scalloped
edges turned back with embroidery
applique or lace. A hard line should
be avoided when the bolero is in ques-
tion. Good dressmakers usually min
gle lace with the velvet, allowing the
soft edges of the lace to overlap the
velvet, which they can easily be made
to do if mounted on satin, The bolero
is prettier with a transparent lace col
lar than with one Of velvet, and vest
to match is always effective.
