A Club Meeting,

A very pleasant affair Of last week
was Miss Pauline Anderson's entertain
ment for the Fortnightly Social Club,
which was enjoyed by twenty of the
club members from to o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. The hostess was as
sisted in receiving by Miss Lola Ander-
son and Mrs. w. H. Anderson. The
,parlor where the tables were arranged
for Nations" was most charming,
autumn leaves, lovely and varied in
hue, and clusters Of berries giving a
bright and cozy effect to the ROOM
The score cards, which were distributed
by pretty little Miss Mary Johnson, of
Spartanburg, bore the shape and tints
of autumn leaves and were exceedingly
pretty. Half dozen interesting games
were played, and then tempting salad
course and the most delicious hot choco-
late appeared in the hands Of the pretty
mattresses, bringing to close one of
the clubs most delightful meetings.
Those present were: Mesdames H.
K. Aiken, j. H. league, r. F. Jones,
G. E. Gray, A. D. Gray, j. w. Powell,

CongratuIating the Bride and uroOm.

One is often asked what should be said
to the newly-married pair-what form
congratulations should take, and so on.
Stilted phrases are at all times to be a.
voided, and the greeting shonld be as
simple and straightforward as possible.
1t is good form to wish the bride bappi-
ness, while the groom is congratulated
Thus one says to the bride; 81 hope
you will be very happy, and / am sure
you will" And to the groom one may
say; "You do not need to be told how
much you are to be congratulated, for
you know it already. Still l do want
to say that congratulate you from
my heart"
A pretty custom followed by some
brides is that Of turning, when half
way up the stairs, after the reception
or the breakfast is over, untying the
ribbon fastening the bouquet together,
andscattering the flowers thus released
among the men waiting below. This dis
poses of the wedding bouquet, which
one seldom has the heart to throw a
way, and which one can not keep salts
factorily.
If gifts are displayed at reception
all cards should be removed. The bride
may keep list of her presents and the
donors, but to display cards gives an
opportunity for invidious comparisons.

Weather Conditions Ideal.-.Big
Crowds Expected.

Columbia, Oct. %. The State Fair
opened this morning and all day there
was hurry and hustle at the grounds.
Many Of the exhibitors had arrived
during the morning and were busy get
ting their booths in shape while the
tents on the midway were being put up
ready for the rush Of the next four days.
Formerly the fair opened on Tuesday

started earlier and by Tuesday the fair
is in readiness. or course. Wednesday
and Thursday will be the biggest days,
when the railroads will run in, special
trains from all sections of the State and
the crowds will pour in from every side.
This section of the State has been
without rain for weeks and the streets
Of Columbia have been exceedingly
dusty, while the fair grounds were in
the same condition, but yesterday there
were light showers and last night a
regular thunder storm with heavy
rain. The dust is laid and the day
broke clear and colder this morning,
making ideal fair week weather. If
this seasonable weather continues it
will be fine for football as we'll as horse
racing and the crowds will not be un-
comfortable.

Tho Bullfiaht.

We went to n bullhght and wished
we had stayed away. 1t is quite as
unpleasant as people say, and the
cruelty to the horses turns one sick.
If 1t was merely an affair between the
men, who are undoubtedly very Skill
full, and the bull. which is probably so
mad with rage as to be past feeling
much pain, one could shrug ones shoul-
ders at the queer game and find some
excuse, but for the torture Of those
poor old bllndfolded screws there can
be no shadow of palliation,.. After three
bulls had been killed we had seen
more than enough especially as the
horses In the third encounter had al-
ready been badly gored In the second,
