Aunt Jennie's Letter.


We extend a hearty welcome to
two new members this week, one
from Missouri and the other from
South Carolina. Ours is a large cir
Gle, for it also includes Florida. as
o will see by Margaret's letter tell
ing us how she spent Christmas in
her home In the "Land of Flowers"
Oxalis' first note is a helpful one,
for she begs me to say to Ruby that
her trouble with the bluing recipe
arose from the fact that she used
Prussian blue. The recipe should
have called for soluble blue. This,
she says. she learned, after repeated
failures, by taking her druggist into
her confidence. She says that oxalic
acid. soft water and soluble blue.
will not disappoint her. I hope we
shall hear often from Oxalis.
1t is hard to say what life should
be without those unselfsh souls who
enjoy being helpful to others. They
bear their own burdens and still find
time to help bear the burdens of
others. Their ministries make life
sweet and joyous. This service makes
it possible for not a few to avoid
total failure. Man was made to
walk; but there are so many help
less cripples who need some n to
lean upon. Those who would be the
helpers of such must have patience
and a strong heart. Alas how few
there are who are self-helpful. They
may have stout hearts, but sympathy
Is sweet and trials will come when
courage is weak. Then it is that a
kind word has strength to Tighten
the burden. Those who cheer the
faint, encourage the weary and de-
pressed, and who teach the helpless
how to use their dormant powers,
are helpers indeed. What would
life be without theml So few of us
realize that every day is a Judgment
day in miniature. There are destiny
crossing every path. Let us all
reiterate feelingly Elizabeth's cray

ings. She brings no price within
her hands; she has no offerings to lay
upon the shrine; she may add moth
ing to the worth of your lessons;
but, empty-handed, she may gather
great gain from the kindly presence
of SO many powerful, heartsome wo-
men; she may absorb much, and bye
and bye, when her life becomes full
of your good cheer, she may reflect
to other lives something of the radi-
ance she has won from this a~ssocia-
ton.
Long, long ago, among the fore
most sons of North and South Caro-
lima her fore-fathers stood, and their
hands helped to clear the way for
the civilization to come. GA North
ern-born Southerner," the fathers
and mothers of a generation ago
used to call her, because she inherit
ed from both parents the loves and
likings of the Southern-born.
Among her relatives, on both sides,
we're some of the strongest adher-
ents to the "Lost Cause" as well as
to the Union side in the Civil War.
Among the 'bone and sinew" of the
South, as well as among it's profres-
her kindred are to be found.

Saturday afternoon and started to
the dance. It was a lovely after
noon, and we women were very COM
Portable In white lawn, without
wraps.
We enjoyed the two mile sail
the phosphorescence of the water,
the shadowery fringe of palms and
cedars, the starlight and; later, the
moonlight. When it was as dark as
1T was going to get, we sent off some
~sky-rockets from the bow of the boat
that looked very beautiful over the
water.
The house, which has been recent
ly built, was on an Indian mound
that had not been cleared Of all it's
beautiful shrubs and trees.
We saw fro mthe deck the table
set out in the veranda and half way
up the hill we passed a fire over
which the oyster rooster was hung,
and a great heap Of oysters were on
the ground waiting their turn. We
found that every dweller of the Key
was there, except one little lady who
was not feeling well.
We spent an enjoyable evening
dancing, eating and talking. and
came home late, tired but thanking
our host for a pleasant time. The
next day-Christmas-was spent
quietly; then most of us went to the
other party Monday and repeated the
former one, with slight variations.
1t was rather amusing to see
grandmothers waltz with young men,
then hold their grandchildren for
their daughters to take a turn.
To one reared further North,
Christmas here does not seem at all
like Christmas. We have ne holly
and mistletoe; and generally have
fresh, tender vegetables for dinner
with Our mince pies and fruit
cake. 1t is almost always warm
enough to go in bathing, and never
feels Chrlstmasy to me. Roses and
other flowers are blooming out doors
now, and the weather is like May in
Eastern Carolina.
Wishing you all a happy New
Year, MARGARET.

Adam was, yet, like Eve, we have a
tendency to eat forbidden fruit; in
other words, we want to handle
money and help to control the affairs
of the nation; that we have restless,
rowing ambitious natures, and can
not always be c~ontented at home,
while our good men are spending
their leisure evenings away from
with friends and neighbors. Then it
is our turn to court. to entreat, to
petition for love and favor.
How many times has woman, with
flowing tears, insisted hat her hus-
band remain at home with her, when
without him her sole company is the
babe at her breast? How many
times in later years has she been
obliged to look to her grown-up sons
for all the little attentions that &c
to make home happy, while her hus-
band finds his pleasure at the card
table or following the baying hounds?
All, Nellie, not even one of us
knows how to be so perfect as to keep
safely locked within our treasure
houses the love that was once laid
at our feet.
Or was it love? IF it had been,
and worthily bestowed. it would never
have failed, but continued to grow
and bless it's recipients. Much is
called love that is simple admiration,
but that is often the parent of true
conjugal love, and that in turn fos-
tiers the heaven-born principle of un-
dying love which has for it's founda-
ton and support the twelve fruits of
the Eternal Spirit. But she that
bears those fruits may become an OBJ
ject of utter scorn and unutterable
hatred, if the one, to whom she has
given her hand and heart, has his
eyes blinded by the god of this world.
and vice versa-for a man sanctifed
as Job was may receive from an un-
cody wife epithets due only to the
lowest and vilest of ~hypocrites.
All, Nellie, sometimes, like "South-
ern gentlemen" we have "~unfulflled
ambitions" that reach far beyond the
LIMITED circles Of Z influence: We
long to widen our influence so that
others may see and believe and feel
as we do. We long to see others &C.
quainted with those truths that have
made us free. Not free from Chris
tan duties, but free from evil preiu-
dices; free from envy. scorn and
hatred; free from selfshness, soul
blindness, bigotry and the love of
darkness; free to enter through the
gates, the everlasting doors, through
which the King of Glory Himself has
already passed; free to lie down in
green pastures and walk beside the
still waters, and at last to dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.
Tell us, Nellie. how we may turn
Indifference to desire and hatred to
love.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

are again here, but in evidence in wraps
more than in gowns
The flowered sash ribbons, the delight
of the girls for their summer frocks,
are expensive, but the length required
for the up-to.dste sash is far from ex.
travagant. In the days when two big
loops and two loug ends were wanted
one had to look hard at the price The
fashionable sash is only half the length
of the skirt and is sharply slanted,
BY preference it has the sharp slant
rounded, pointed or mitred at the ends
BY preference it has the sharp slant.
1t is joined to the girdle of the same
ribbon in variety of ways, but al
ways so that the ends shall spread
apart as they fall. When the ends are
slauted, the short sides should both
come at theinside. A girdle made in
this way is plated close at the top and
held to the girdle by a fat rosette of
picot edged ribbon centered with a
shirred button of the same. Above

Another girdle and sash of Powered

At the bottom of the back of tile girdle
is an oval cut steel buckle and above
it a square bow of the ribbon. In this
case, the ribbon ends are plated into
the girdle at each end of the buckle
being separated by it. The ends of these
sashes are the same length. Sometimes
thre short ends are usd and sometimes
very short tabs below the girdle. There
are so many possibilities in these rib

OLD FOLKS
THEIR DAYS MAY BE PROLONGED
How the Evening of Life May Be
Made Happier for All.

"lf people only knew the good tina
Vinol does old people," said Mr.. Geo
w. Putnam, our well-known druggist
"columns of space in our newspaper
would be devoted to the subject for tn,
benefit of mankind in general. ear
truly say that we have never sold any
thing in our store equal to Vinol as q
strengthener and body-builder for old
people.
"You see, with old age comes feeble,
ness and loss of power, the organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth, the appetite is poor, the diges
tion weak, and there is not that same
renewal of body tissue
"There is nothing more pitiful to me
than to see old people tottering around.
/ know that vinSl cannot bring back
lost years, but it will lengthen life and
brighten the years that remain.
'We are hearing from all over the
country remarkable results which prove
my statement, and we have received
letters from sons and daughters of old
people telling how father or mother
has bene made well and happy by the
vigor and strength which Yinol brings
the old.
alt was only a few days ago that a
letter was brought to my attention from
Mr.. John G. Nichols, Of Lawrence,
Mass, in which he said that he was so
years old. and he had not felt so well
for Is years as he had since taking
Yinol; it gave him a good appetite, and
he feels strong and well, and is working
from O'Clock in the morning until 5
o clock at night. ."
"It is just this way" continued Mr.
Putnam, "Vinol invigorates the stom-
ach first Of all, creates An appetite
and enables the stomach to separate
from food the elments needed for rich,
red blood, healthy body material and
sound, steady nerves. In this natural
manner il repairs the worn tissues,
checks the natural decline and replaces
weakness with strength.
"For any one suffering from any
weakened, rundown condition Vinol
will do the same; and II is because we
know so well what Vinol will do that
we guarantee its action, and we viii
gladly refund the money paid for Il 20
any one who is not satisfied. I wish
every old person in this vicinity would
lust try vinol on our guarantee. If u
does not satisfy, then It will not cost
them cent. Geo. w. Putnam, drug

The Constitution guarantees to
every American citizen the right to
bear arms, but the spirit of our legiS-
lation for a generation tends TO sub
ject the right to supervision, TO cur
tailment or denial. When Civil War
broke out the South probably earned
it's first victories because of the famil-
iarity of her people with arms and
horses. They had handled both since
babyhood. At New Orleans a great
battle went against the invaders be-
cause the citizen knew enough TO
stand and shoot straight. In 1898
many enlisted men were not only I'M
familiar with army rifles, but with all
weapons of offense. Is it because the
character of the citizen changes and
too many of US are unfit to be trusted
with guns? The familiarity OF the
citizen may save half the time needed
to turn him into a soldier. The unfa-
miliar is always the terrible.
1t is bad enough if the citizenship OF
this country be unfit to keep arms at
home, but what must We think of this
note from the New York Sun:
Visitors who went aboard the bat
tieships in the harbor recently noted
the unaccustomed absence of all small
arms in the seamen's quarters, where
usually there are racks full of guns
and swords. a sailor from the Ken
lucky explained this condition by say
ing that, although there was no dan
ger Of a mutiny on any United States
warship. the officers always had TO
consider the possibility Of such a con-
dition and prepare for it. The sue
cessful mutiny of the Russian sailors
on the Kniaz Potemkine had been an
eye-opener to naval officers, the sailor
said, and at once all small arms had
been removed from reach Of the
sailors.
Is the character of our soldiers and
sailors changing also? Take the roll
call of any military or nav\ organiza-
ton in the regular service ana the
names stamp many of the men of for
eign blood If not birth. 1t does not
follow that they are the less Ameri-
can for that, but 1t does mean some
thing when mutiny is feared, and the
rule of a despot gives lessons to our
Our contractors are
more dangerous to our soldiers than
any enemy we ever had: are the men
dangerous to the country?
