 Louise was most radiantly happy; she and Frank went all over tho. place.

 Dr. Dunield seemed to appreciate our asking him to join our party, said the day would always De remembered by him, and he knew without us his pleasure would not have been So great. Mir. Clark said he had been twice be- fore to Beauvoir, but never so enter tained. His visits had been short ones and very formal.
 Believe I have told everything ex- cept about the dinner, which was de- lightful. As we entered the dining room Mrs. Davis asked us to seat our selves as best pleased only. leaving a seat by her for MT. Redpath (Redfield, Mary called him), and one opposite for MT. Davis. She sits in the center of the side and carves.
 We had a good dinner: soup. then salmon and potatoes arranged on the sams dish: then beef. chicken. egg plants and baked tomatoes, potato chips, rice and brains cooked so I did not recognize them. and MT. Davis's corn dodKer, which he offered to share with us. It was made of coarse mea! baked in small pones. Then came as- paragus, then custard and cake with two large bowls of grapes on Jumps of ice. Her service Is something like our blue china. The table was prettily set with the tumbler. cIaret glass. and a little glass pitcher of ice water at each plate.
 She told us she mad long ago given | up trying to serve dinner in courses

 The Andrew Barry Moore Chapter. U. D. C.. Marion. Ala. would join her sis- ter Chapters in voicing regret at the recent death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis the noble consort of the first and \only President of the Southern Confedefacy. As the wife of Jefferson Davis. the mother of the beloved Daughter of the Confederacy, and as woman of ex- alted graces of mind and character. she held a place all her own, in the hearts of the people of the Southland, With loyal and heroic devotion she shared the varying fortunes of our mo- ble chief .and life's labor ended, 1t Is fitting that she rest by his side in the beautiful cemetery at Richmond. To those nearest and dearest to whom her death has come as a great sorrow we tender our earnest sympathy. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin"

HALL GAINES SUCCESS,
THE MANxMAN, TOMORROW.

THE Manxman," dramatized from
Hall Gaines beautiful story of the
same name, will be played at the OPP
April IT. The play is descriptive of
the condition of affairs in the Isle of
Man some few years ago, written by
one who is a native of the island and
conceded to be the best known au-
thority on the social and political con-
dition both of the past and present
generation. Mr.. Gaines stories nearly
all have some bearing on his native
land, his description of places and
people are most vivid and natural. He
has long been identified with all the
most progressive moves of the govern
ment, having filled a number of high
Offices with great honor. His election
to the house of keys, the governing
body of the island, was one of the
largest majorities ever given to the
peoples choice. Both THE Eternal
City" and "The Christian" by the
same author, have proven popular with
theatergoing people everywhere. 1.-THE
Manxman' is one of his latest works
and far surpasses anything he has
ever done before either in book or
dramatic form. The scenery and cos.
tunes have been prepared from the
descriptions given in the book and
from photographs, and the production
is complete in every detail. The com
pany presenting it is the Wolf Stock
cOmpaDV who gave cucb satisfaction
last winter during an engagement here.
