who spent the holidays at a country
house down in Virginia are still laugh
ing at the little adventure of one Of
their number, a fashionable young mar
ried woman who has ways her grand
mother would turn i'll her grave il she
knew about. She never touches tea or
coffee, but now and then she takes a
cigarette after dinner, and. as every
body knows, smoking is a horrid thing
while one may drink gallons OF the
strongest coffee and still be an example
for the young. The lady drove to the
inhnitesimal village near one day, and
with several friends went into the drug
store and asked for package CT cigar
cites.
The man behind the counter handed
out brand, dark and heavy, and
strong as stogies.
"Oh, l don't want those" said the
lady, Il want something exceedingly
mild--something for ladies'"
The man behind the counter looked
very much grieved
1--WE haven't any like that" he said.
regretfully. I'VE don't keep them
You see, all the ladies around here that
smokes smokes pipes

will be held at Eden, August 1st.
The session will be Betterment
Meeting" An interesting program is
in preparation. The time of meeting
was changed from June to August
with the hopes that haying would be
well over and larger representation
would result. Of late a serious draw
back in connection with these con-
ventions has been occasioned by
delegates returning home before the
evening session. The audience that
the speaker has consequently had to
face has been a discouragiDgly small
one. Those attending the Eden con-

requested to go fully determined to
remain over night that the evening
meeting may be properly supported
A new feature in this convention will
be a social hour from 4 to 5 p. m.
