CULLEOKA, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-The
prettiest social event of the Christmas
pleasures was the linen shower given
by Miss Nicely Alternately Friday after
noon to Miss Mabel Clare Wilkes, who
is to be married January 2 to Mr.. ].
Webster Turner The fifty guests as
sembled in the parlor which was taste
fully decorated in green and white,
and lighted with white candles. with
white bells suspended here and there
among the holly, mistletoe, white
chrysanthemums and hyacinths. Miss
Alternately presented the bride; Miss
Loutie Tomlinson, in the group Of
cousins circled about the bride-elect,
gave a beautiful toast, to which she
replied charmingly, the glass she held
clinking as unsteady as it did gener-
atoms ago when in the hands of her
great4grandmother Love. The vast
number of gifts were showered upon
her from a huge horseshoe of white
chrysanthemums. The refreshments
were served in the dining room, which
was in red and green, tiny bags OF
rice and numberless bells bespeaking
wedding near at hand. Mrs. and
Miss Henderson, Mrs. Lupton and
Mrs. Erie Taylor were the out-of-town
guests and many were the express
sions of love and good will to the
handsome young woman who soon
goes from us to a home of her own,
where sweet hospitality will be dis
pensed, and a people made the richer
by her coming. Showers of blessings
be hers.
Mr. and Mrs w. s. Evins entertain
ed deliberately in honor of Misses Bes-
sic, Lillian and Annie May Love, pu-
pills Of Radnor College, and Mr.. w. s.
Love, of Chattanooga. Progressive
games were played at seven tables,
each game in keeping with the Yule-
tide. The score cards were imita-
tons of holly, and progression was
marked with a red berry Holly, mis-
tletoe and candles were used as dec
orations In all the rooms, and the re-
were suggestive of the sea-

HIS EDUCATIONAL LIMIT.

A lawyer in Washington was telling
some colleagues of neat retorts he
had heard in court, when he was re-
minded of the interchange of compli-
ments between a Western Judge and
a sharp-tongued attorney from Chica-
go.
The Judge, quick-tempered man,
had had several "run-ins" with coun-
sci when suddenly he observed:
Il can teach you law Mr.. Perkins,
but ] cannot teach you manners"
That is true, Your Honor retorted

Because in the reign of Henry VIII.
there lived baillff named Dun, who

One of the most curious Of Zulu
ideas is that expressed by the word
"hlonipa." This originally meaning
"to be ashamed" or ito behave mod
estly," is synonymous with "propri-
ETY." or etiquette and covers a va
riety of curious customs. For in
stance, a woman must always ''lllon-
ipa' the names of her father her hus-
band, the head Of the family, and the
chief, |. e., avoid uttering Them and
in the case of great chief the prohi-
bition extends also to the men of the
tribe. If the name happens to have a
meaning of its own, some substitute
must be found for it in ordinary con
versation Tt is as though English
women whose family name was Smith
were not allowed to talk about
blacksmith, but must call him a work
.er in iron. 'Thus the women of the
family whose name is "mtimkulu,"
"The Great Tree" are obliged to find
some other word for "a tree" or "meda
icine," both of which are "mti' in
Zulu.

Future geographers OF. the frozen
deep may wonder at some pretty
names which designate the islands
which are scattered along Walter
Wellman's route to the North Pole.
Wellman has planted the flag on five
tiny spots of land in the land of ice
and called them after his five attrac-
tive daughters. All of these young
women have names beginning with
"R" and are respectively Ruth, Rose,
Rachel, Rita and Rebecca. Wellman
has promised them trip in his brave
ship to the island which bears their
names and which they may claim as
their own by right of their fathers
discovery.
Writing in the London Mail in a
series of articles entitled American
Revisited Bart Kennedy says: "The
Kentuckians are undoubtedly the fin
est people in the States. And in some
respects they are the finest white peo-
pie in the world. They carry about
them an atmosphere of manners and
breeding. And though they speak
with very long drawl, their voices
have not the hardness of the Amerl
cans of the East"
Some time ago the Ameer of AZ
ghanistan forbade the import into his
country of carpets colored with aniline
dyes. The Kashmir of Dunbar has
now decided to charge the high duty
of As per cent on all analine dyes at
the frontier, and at a certain distance
within the frontier to confiscate and
at once destroy them. BY this meas
ure 1t is hoped the beautiful arts for
which the Vale OF Kashmir is famous
will be preserved from deterioration.
