NOTES FROM WOMANS REALM

the circle the guests closed the
gap and circling around the twain they
continued singing.
Down on this carpet you must kneel
Sure as the grass grows in the field
Salute your bride with a sweet kiss
And rise upon your feet in bliss.
At the tmeful injunction Salute
your bride with a sweet kiss" there
was the usual scuffle and resistance, as
there always was in the olden times.
Then the twain in the centre Joined the
circle and the next young man stepped
to the centre and the program was
repeated until every young man had
chosen the one that HE loved best.
After this each young woman in the
circle stood in the centre, by turn, and
the words of the third line of the last
stanza were changed to Salute your
young man with a kiss.
After each couple had knelt and kiss
ed, the circle broke. Zach young man
went to the cooling room for the plate
of candy he had assisted in pulling and
returned with it to the drawing room.
The candy was then eaten, and the pull
was over.
1T no doubt seems a rather simple
sort OF amusement" said the hostess,
"to you Northern people, but our
mothers and grandmothers INDUCED in
it. and the pleasure consists in doing
what amused them.
And the hostess related THAT many
"of the old-time statesmen in the South
had. in their time. played King Viii
liam" at candy pullings. So far as the
hostess knew this is the first o,d-fash-
toned candy pull to take Place in New
York

Celebrity is the punishment of merit
and the extinguisher Of talent
The past gives us regrets, the pres
ent sorrow the future fear; at is one
adorcs at once; at 20 one loves; at 30
one desires; at 40 one reflects.
A beautiful woman, they say, is the
paradise Of the eyes, the hell of the
Soul and the purgatory of the purse.
Remember life is a slate whore all
our sins are written. From time to
time we rub the sponge of repentance
over 10, but only to begin sin anew.
At the age of 60 TO marry a pretty
girl of II is to initiate those fools who
buy books TO be read by their friends.
Idleness is the reservoir which sup
plies the divorce courts.
Marriage is usually a long quarrel.
Men marry to make an end, women to
make a beginning.
Marriage is a romance until the book
is open. True, the preface is often
amusing. but it never lasts long and is
always deceptive.

This paraphrase of an old poem was
on the invitations sent out by South
ern woman, whose home is up in the
Nineties. The guests are members OF
the Southern colony in New York.
The parity was a revival of a social
custom in the South before the war.
To it's renaissance in New York the
young women came wearing gingham
aprons. The hostess furnished the mo-
lasses, which had been sent up espe-
cially for This event from New Or
leans. relates the New York Sun.
After the necessary boiling down Of
the sweet, each guest and her beau
took a buttered plate ON which was
laid a roll Of the candy. 1t was the
young woman's part to get the roll
into pulling condition.
This she did after the manner of
lmeading dough- After this prepara-
tion she took one end of the roll and
passed the other to her young man.
Then began the pull.
When the roll was extended the ends
were put together by the two pullers
joining hands This process left a
rope of the candy the lower end Of
which was taken up by one of the pull
ors. and thoy repeated the pull.
This was continued until the candy
became brittle, when it was paced on
another plate The plates were then
put in a cool place, and the young peo-
pie proceeded to the drawing-roOm
where they indulged in the old play
known in the South at all candy-pulls
as king William"
The guests formed a circle. joining
hands. One remained Within the circle.
This one. of course. was a young man.
As the guests revolved around tho CEN
tire they sang the old words sung by
their mothers and grandmothers and
to the same air:
King William was King James s0n,
And from a royal race he come.
UDon his breast he wore star
Which pointed TO the northwest far.
Go choose your east go choose your
west,
Go choose the one THAT you love best.

young man in the centre made his
choice AS she stepped to the centre Of
