Leap Year Ball

Last Tuesday evening several Of
the young ladies entertained the
young men and a few married friends
at the Grand hotel, by giving a lean
year ball.
Promptly at eight O. clock the CARR :
ages were sent for the guests and
strange to relate the young men were
found to be ready. At $50 the grand
march took place and was led by Miss
Fitz-Jarrel and Chas. W. Taylor and
fifteen couples were in line.
AS the guests entered the dancing
loom it seemed as if they had arrived
at fairy land, the electric lights we're
subdued and palms, evergreens and
plants were in profusion and to the
one side of the hall was a miniature
forest where corners were in abund-
ance and away back in the woods of a
gypsy camp was discovered fountain
of refreshing beverage which was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Haywood Many
startling secrets We're told to the dan
The programme was very dainty
and showed a great deal of originality.
The gowns worn by the ladies were
all beautiful and lack of space compels
us to omit an extended report
The success of the party was due to
the management of Misses Fitz- Jarrel,
Sarah and Stella Dildine, Lord Tout
and Robinson All present thoroughly
enjoyed themselves and regretted
when the hour of departure came.
The following were entertained
Mr.. and Mrs Philippi Fletcher,
Robinson, Rudasill, Preville, Everett,
Ewing, Estey, Mrs. Jos. Dildine, Mrs.
VIM. Roddan. Messrs. Steward, Wal
lace, Parks, Thorson, Hotopp, Dollin-

A Unique Entertainment

Only about once in twenty eight
years does the twenty ninth of Febru.
airy fall on Monday. Such an event
occurred last Monday and the Reading
club appropriately celebrated by hold
ing one of its delightful open meetings
at the nome of Mrs. B. T. Napier
The club members were attiled in
fancy dress and made pleasing sight
for the twenty-five guests. The short
and happy program was simply a
preparation for the genial good time
that followed. Music, shadow pic
lures, recitation and pantomine
caused every one merriment as well as
pleasure. Mrs. Preville and Mrs
Gavin from among the guests de-
lighted all with their songs ard mu-
sic, while Mrs. Roddan was encored
again and again for her graceful
dancing Of the Highland Fling.
Mrs. Henderson as Uncle Sam and
Mrs. Tully as Aunt Sam did their
subjects full justice. Mrs Dewitt
and Miss Tully as COW girls could not
be surpassed by the real article,
while Miss Tout In her quaint Quaker
gown, cap and bonnet quite out -Quak
cred even the Quakers themselves.
And It's hard to tell whether Mrs
Alice Clark was sweeter as Christine
from Stockholm or prettier as Crotch
en- from the Fatherland. Mrs. Pletch-
er made a typical Columbia in her
stars and stripes Others dressed as
Colonial danes and some wore the at
tractive costume of the japanese
women.
Dainty refreshments were served by
the hostess after which the party dis
persed. The next meeting of the club
will be held with Miss Nellie Finley
at the home of Mrs. Elmina Dewitt

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand A physi
clan should always be called. 1t
should be borne in mind, however
that pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the grip
and that by giving Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy the threatened attack
of pneumonia may be warded off. This
remedy is also used by physicians in
the treatment of pneumonia with the
best results. DR.. W. ]. Smith of San
ders, Ala. who is also druggist, says
of it: II have been selling Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and prescribing
it in my practice for the past six years.

Concerning the Figure

and reaching and stretching and by all
these means develops and improves
the figure.
But, says some one, 'How can this
be done in the long, straight front
corset pictured everywhere ?" 1t can
not. But there are corsets which
The ribbon girdle corset, made either
in heavy satin ribbon or in wide tape,
or the short equestrian corset is adapt
ed to all sorts of vigorous exercise.
1t is also excellent for the women who
do good deal of homework which
requires bending over and STOPPING.
While it does not hold in the over
plump figure as a heavier, longer cor
set would do, it is far better to yield
little restriction than to break corset
steels and suffer discomfort at the
same time.
A woman can never allow herself to
become careless about her corset.
Having gone to the expense and pains
of procuring one and learning how to
wear it she should not let the gain
slip away from her. When her corset
becomes old and out of shape she
should have it re boned as it is worth
while to do with a good corset.
Never should she relax her vigilance
over her figure and her way of carry
ing herself. Perhaps for while it
will seem a good deal of burden,
but after time the well carried form,
with the back straight, the head up,
the shoulders properly poised, will be
come instructive, so that the trouble
would be to bear herself in the wrong
way.
1t is woman's duty to keep her
good looks as long as she can and a
good figure is most important part
of them. A pretty face is all very
wefl-there are few women who would
not be willing to yield virtue or
two to possess charming counte-
nance, but it loses great deal if it
is set on top of a badly cared for, bad
ly carried figure When a woman
gets toward the point where youthful
charms are forsaking her, it is boon
to her and to those about her if she
has well made, well borne form.
And the possession of this is within
her own power.
