in the hall, Mrs. Hubert bremen and
Mrs. Harry Jones presiding at the punch
bowl.
The score cards, handpainted, were de-

The Bachelor.
From the Savannah News,

From the savannah NEWS.
The bachelor has place in social
economy, and he fills 1t admirably. He
may not be bachelor from choice. but
that is beside the question. lie is bach
elor and that concrete fact only is to be
considered. As an unmarried man he is
available on sundry occasions to fill out
social functions, and he is seldom found
wanting in accomplishments courtesy
and consideration of the niceties of life.
He is companionable, well informed,
generous good story teller and a good
contributor to charities.
When there is sickness in the neighbor-
hood the bachelor can be called upon 10

no family at home; hence, it does not
make any difference If he is out late and
loses sleep. If there is a church fair or
a charity bazaar, no change need be given

doesn't need the money. II friend is
needed to go on note, one turns to the
bachelor, who can afford the accommoda-
ton If the circus comes to town the
bachelor nearly always finds 1t possible
to rake up a few tickets for those who
would otherwise BE deprived of the pleas
ure of seeing the show
At the ball it is the bachelor who pre-
vents certain charming girls as posing as
wall flowers all through the evening. The
bachelors preferences are few. He is
free to distribute his attentions where
they will make the greatest number hap
nv and he usually strives to that end.
