Besides the thousands of pounds Of
Spanish moss sent annually from Flor
ida and other Southern states to
Northern upholsterers, the plant has
various other uses. One of these, a
use that has recently been discovered
is that of a strainer and purifier of
cane syrup. 1t has been found that a
finer syrup can be made by straining
the cane juice through moss than
through any other material.

SAIL AND DANCE.

On Friday evening an ENJOYABLE
sail and dance was gwen in honor of
Miss Plasidia A. Hudnall, of Reed
vile, Va, who has been the guest of
her cousins. the Misses Harvey, of
"Cobb's Hail." At $50 D. m. the
jolly pleasure seekers began to as
semble on Harvey's Wharf, where
the beautiful sloop "Mattie Lee
was moored, and her skipper, Capt.
William Ii. Carter, was soon 10 his
element, chatting with the ladies
and assuring the timid ones that we
hadn't hardly breeze to ill the sails
and the fearless ones that we would
have jolly trip and taste salt water
before we returned, for he is a mod.
ern "Beau Brummel."
at z O'Clock all were on board
and amid light laughter aud happy
jest the "Mattie" cast her mcorinqs.
and with wind ahead we beat down
Dividing Greek. As we neared
the broader expanse of the Chesa-
peake Bay the spray began to dash
over the bow of the boat and sew
eral experienced shower bath. Init
that only added to the enjoyment of
the merry party.
At $50 it was decided that WE
should return for the dance. On
reaching shore we proceeded TO
Paradise" the home of Mr.. Alfred
Hudnall. Mrs. Hudnall is an ideal
hostess and as she moved abopt
among her young guests she was
happy in seeing them SO Thoroughly
enjoying themselves.
Music, both vocal and instrument
tai, was furnished by Misses Leila
blundon, Plasidia Hudnall, Marie
Harvey, Leila Tignor and Messrs. s.
Ferd Enbank, Atherall Hudnall and
James Harding.
AT 2 a. m. the last of the dancers
babe their host and hostess a re-
luctant farewell, assuring them of
the pleasant evening spent and hop
ing to meet again under the same
hospitable roof. MERopE.
