 collars some three of four years ago, but they were banished when the lit- tie Dutch necked frocks came in. Women at that time who possessed scrawny necks encircled by yellow collar lines said some very unpleasant things about the tall. stin collars which had done the mischief.
 Time. however, is great pacifier, and most women to-day have 90 far forgotten their past grievance that they have appropriated the mannish collar as of old. The present turn, down collar is a great improvement upon its predecessor. It is not made as heavily as before, being only three ply, and the linen is of . fine. light weight quality.

FOR TWO PLEASANT PARTIES.
Mother Goose 10 One and Poverty
 Breakfasts" Another.

Send out invitations decorated with Mother Goose characters. When the guests arrive give them a bit of pa- per on which is written the name of a jingle from this ever popular book. When the hostess calls these titles one by one, the holder must repeat the rhyme at once. or in the space of two minutes. Failing to do so entails the paying of forfeit.
 To the one who responds the first award a goose quill pen, and to the one who fails entirely give child's copy of Mother Goose.
 The following menu may be served for refreshment. Ornament the table with huge pie, on which "A toy birds are seated around the edge; have a ribbon leading to each plate, with snapping cracker attached to the end inside the pie. The guests are to guess what is to be served them from this Mother Goose bill of fare:
 Shared by the walrus and carpenter (Oysters).
 A kings dish (Bird pie, individual chicken pies).
 A queens lunch (Bread and honey).
 Taffy's spells Beef sandwiches).
 The golden eggs (Eggs hard boiled).
 What the baker made (Rolls).
 Sample of the pieman's ware (Tiny pies).
 Jack-a-Dandy's delight (Plum cake).
 What the ships brought (Apples and comfits).
 I wonder how many readers of the department are aware of the fact that Mary Goose, the original Mother Goose" is buried in a Boston ceme- tery? She was not a myth, but . reality once upon a time.

For Lent.

A coterie of ten ladies, who are aC. customed to entertaining on quite an elaborate scale, are giving a series of Lenten affairs which they call "pov. erty breakfasts"
 Each hostess keeps an itemized ac. count of what the meal costs, and then subtracts it from the sum she would ordinarily have paid. The difference she puts into a box marked Char ity."
 Shirt.waist suits are worn, and the breakfast" is served at IF o'clock, thus giving long afternoon for sew. ing. which in this instance is making outing flannel nightgowns for a child's hospital. The garments are exceeding. ly dainty, as one lady insists upon fin- ishing the neck and sleeves with feath. er-stitching or lace.
 This little circle is having what they call a scrap party" once a week, held in the evening. The men are asked to come and bring all their cast. on neckties: the ladies bring bits of silk-even samples are available. The pieces are sorted into piles, neatly tied with skeins of embroidery silk, and are sent to old ladies in homes and institutions-to "shut-ins" and in- valids, who gladly receive these con. tributions to their silk quilts.
 Some of these bundles are sent to remote regions in the south, where industrial schools have been estab- lished. A cup of something hot is served and the party breaks up at ten. o'clock. for early hours are a part of the Lenten regime.
 An oId-Fsshioned Party.
 At this most unique affair. the host. ess requested her guests to come in as old-fashioned garments as they pos- sessed or could borrow. and such an array of polonaises. basques. full skirts and bcnnets as assembled in the draw ing room, which was full of old-fash-. toned furniture. samplers. candle sticks. tedspread draperies, etc. The men were in coats and rufiied shirts of ancient vintage, and funny old stovepipe hats.
 Dominoes. chess. whist and check. CTS were the games. and the ladies had a knitting contest Cup custards. unfrosted sponge cake. strawberry pre- serves. with tea. were served.
 Prizes were awarded for the quaint. est gowns and the histories of many of the old garments and pieces of fur niture were related.
 A candle vas lit and handed each guest when they vent up to don their outer garments. preparatory to going home. and the host lit an old Paul Revere lantern standing on the porch to light the vay to the gate

Bought city lots from the Re

Did not consider property listed
too high simply because they did
not sell within one year. have
held property for 20 years aud did
not think the price to high.
Mr.. Gelders, who had been On
the stand near the beginning of
the investigation was again called.
By this time the trains had begun
to come in on the south of us and
a carpenter got ''busy at some

as we were outside of the railing

was with difficulty we understood
what the witness said, and part
we did not understand. As we
are going it ''afoot and alone" in
this matter Ofreporting, we have
no resource other than orr own
mother wit.
There was something about an
affidavit and something more
about a contract, of a purchase
between Mr.. GelderS and Sidney
Glare and Mrs. Clare. The wit
ness remembered something about
signing an affidavit about some
thing between himself and S.
Greer and the Investment Co.
Just there the counsel for the
objected. The witness
was asked to refresh his memory

and he finally said Glare signed
by mistake,
Witness was asked to jog his
memory about a contract by which
Mr.. Greer had the right to buy 66
shares of stock to enable Sidney
Clare and witness to have control
of the Lee Grant Hotel. He said
that he and Mr.. Clare were work
ing together.
To the proposition that "Greer
was acting for you and Mr.. Clare
in buying 66 shares Of stock and
after that was Mr.. Greer still in
terested in it? You and Clare were
to pay all purchase money and pay
him little bonus and leave him
out entirely. Gelders asked to see
the contract
What rights had MI. Greer?
You and Mr.. Glare were the sole
owners and Mr.. Clare was to Jump
out and have only the bonus, and
keep out. Evident embarraS-
ment on the part of witness, who
finally said he had 40 shares and
sold that to Mrs. Clare. Had so
more or less and put up 40 to Mrs
Clare.
Did not remember who put up
in closing the trade with Greer.
Think | already had 60 shares in
my own name.
Question-HOw could you have
that much when you had already
sold 25 shares to Mrs. Clare and
again the carpenter in the hall
got busy. Witness said he now
had 30 shares deposited in the LIST

Receivers Court Still In SEES
sion.

Auditor Cannon, of Abbevllle,
before whom the Colony Receivers
investigation is made, returned
home on Thursday evening and
missed the returning train for this
city, consequently all proceedings
are at stand still until WedneS-
day of next week. The invcstiga
ton has been postponed from time
to time until it seems to have be-
come a habit. There was no hear
ing this week except on Wednes-
day and Thursday.
On Wednesday w. H. Rogers
was on the stand and told some
thing of his relations with the
South Georgia Building and inves-
ment Co., especially of a meeting
at which Messrs Harris, Gelders,
Glare, Seanor, Philips, BULGE G.
b. White w. r. Bowen and ROush
were present, the meeting being
held in the Lee Grant Hotel, be-
ginning at 10 p. m. Mr.. Harris
said he did not know when nor
how the present. owner Of the Lee
Grant Hotel got that property.
Did not remember of meetings
held anywhere else. Did not
know whether Sidney Glare had
his office there or not.
The meeting referred to was held
in December 1902 or January 1908.
All who hN any interest in this
Investment Co., voted. Think
Mr.. BULGE acted as president;
do not remember who acted as
secretary.
