CHEROKEE CLUB
PILLOW SHOWER
viii Cooperate in Making the
Corn Carnival a Success.

The Cherokee Club at a regular
business meeting held last night de-
cided to cooperate heartily with the
citizens in the work Of making the
Cherokee Corn Carnival a success.
The carnival cotilion will be held In
the club rooms, and the task Of max
ing all arrangements for this event,
and for decorating the hall has been,
by the executive committee of the
carnival, turned over to the club.
The club decided upon a rather
unique method for securing decora-
tions for the hall and at the same
time encouraging needlework. The
club will ask all Of its friends to par
ticipate in a "pillow shower These
pillows will be exhibited in the corn
palace, and for the best pillow the club
will pay a prize Of sl5; for the second,
$40 and for the third best IS.
The pillows, Of course, will belong
to the club-that's the purpose Of the
shower-but the prizes, it is expected,
will stimulate interest, while the pill
lows will be much needed in the hall
on the night Of the cotilion and re-
ception to the carnival queen.
The awarding Of prizes win be made
by the regular carnival committee on
prizes which, in judging, will consider
not the cost Of the materials used in
the making Of the pillows, but their
artistic effect.

Clean Pair of Heels.

The phrase "a clean pair of heels"
used by Mr.. Wyndham in chatting Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, is as old
as Scott; but they spoke of "showing''
or turning a fair pair of heels" as
far back as the sixteenth century.
With either adjective it is a very
natural expression for turning away
But how did taking to ones heels"
which appeared in the same century,
come to be used with the same mean
ing? Taking to ones heels surely
would have been more appropriate to
rapid flight, since heel work is char
acteristic of walking as opposed to
running, as appears in the familiar
fair heel and toe" but was hat a
variant of take to- or did it stand
for carry my heels off?"-London
