The Eternal Feminine.

That woman is a puZzlfng creature
has already been remarked by sundry
sages, but we desire to repeat it for
the sake of emphasis. Though an
angel of mercy, at least to fiction, she
does things sometimes which would
mar the reputation of Beelzebub or
Moloch. Perhaps she does not know
how wicked they are. but if she does
not know she ought to learn. Con-
slider her bonnet for example. Be
hold the dead birds, upon it. Behold
the plumes plucked from sea fowls
slain upon the nest ana their young
left to perish. Reconcile these relics
of death and slaughter with her
angelic character II you can.
Women for the adornment of their
headgear have annihflated the Florida
seafowl. the heron, the ibis, and all
more than all other scavengers to-
gether to avert disease from the
world by devouring offal. But what is
the health of the narions compared
with the elegance Of woman's bon
net?
The slaughter has been carried on
ruthlessly and with abhorrent cruelty
for years in the face of exposure and
protest until now the bird life of
Florida Is virtually extinct The birds
are killed by the agents of mammoth
corporation which furnishes plumes
and corpses to the mi1liners to be fas-
tened upon bonnets and the bonnets
are. then worn upon heads which are
commonly supposed to TEEN with
beautiful and gentle emotions
Suppose the next dead bird you see
perched funereaIly above a woman
head could tell the story of its own
slaughter and the death of the I'M
fiedged nestlings from cold and hun
ger Would not the. tale enhance the
elegance, OF the woman's attire?
The professional plume-hunters are
discriminating the bird life Of the
world, and the women of the world
are aiding and abetting the crime. If
no plumes were worn on bonnets
none would be sought by the hunters
Why cannot the fair sex rest content
with ostrich feathers and ROSTERS
tails to beautify their heads?-Port-
land Oregon.

Prior to the national convention the

The Smiths Greater Shows

Will arrive Sunday afternoon
and open Monday night, 0ecem'
Der %, in this town the coming
week. Kingstree will for the
first time in its history witness
a carnival. People of Kingstree
have attended attractions of
this kind in neighboring towns
and are familiar with the plans
upon which the carnivals are
conducted and the style and
class of shows which usually
make up the fair. On this score
the manager of the Smiths
Greater Shows, which are to
furnish the entertainment, under
the auspices of the City Fire De-
partment, have guaranteed that
every one of the attractions and
all events IN connection with
the Carnival will be strictly
moral. Mr. W McQrk, agent for
Smiths Greater Shows, arrived
in the city last week and is busy
in assisting in making final ar
rangements. Mr. McQrk says
every character of amusement
which his company will present
is second to none. Every attrac-
tion presented will be of the
highest order in It's way and no.
thing unclean or immoral will
be found on the programme of
entertainments that will be pre-
sented to the people. If you
have not already invited your
relatives or friends to do so,
write them at once to come to
Kingstree on the date named and
enjoy this great Carnival Of
mirth and pleasure with us.
The programme of entertain
ment is so full of good things
with which to amuse and enter.
tain the people that it is super.
fiuous to enumerate them. Suffice
it to say that there will be ten
high class, wholesome and up
to-date attractions, and in so
doing he merits their approval
and endorsement.

Mr. Mahaffey came to the school
house and conducted the chapel
exercises for the last time. It
made US feel very sad to know
that never again while we were
there would Mr. Mahaffey be
with US. We are also very, very
sorry to lose Iva from among
our friends of the ninth grade.
The girls and boys of the high
school are very dilleent in their
studies this year. They indulge
in no other "sport" than play
ing tennis. The boys of the
athletic club have been very nice
to the tenth grade girls and
have not only allowed them to
play on the tennis court but
have taught US how to play. Ev-

Der of US at the tennis grounds
indulging in this pleasant pas

clear and able to take in the les

ready for Thursday night at Sal

her honor.
About two hours we're spent in
games and sociability when light
refreshments we're served, followed
by a short program, of which per-
haps the leading feature was the
toast OF the evening and occasion to
Miss Corwin, by Miss May McGrath.
Miss May acquitted herself with
honor
During the afternoon, several of
the girls decorated the various rooms
In red hearts and the school colors,
purple and white.
just at the close Of the festivities,
the girls formed in line OF march
around Miss Corwin who was seated
In the middle OF, the room and
showeled her with red and white
carnations.
TIE retirement Of Miss Corwin
from the city schools is keenly re-
gretted by the girls as we'll as others,
and this was a fine expression Of the
esteem in which she has been held.
Miss Gold, the new teacher, was
present during the evening, and as
she has come to the schools after
being thoroughly tested in the school
room, as we'll as having graduated
from Northwestern, there are no
misgivings as to her efficiency.
