January literary meeting was held
with Mrs. John S. Young. The note of
spring in the balmy air and sunshine,
the fragrance of flowers everywhere
gave an added pleasure to the pro-
gramme on royalty given i'll this al
ways rayolly hospitablc home, whose
gracious mistress confers pleasure u,
her own queenly way The Crowned
Heads of Europe" were discussed by
Mrs. NJ H. Williams, who began by
reading the roll of European sover-
eigns. from the eldest and most umhap-
py and disappointed of monarchs. Franz
Joseph of Austria, to the bold, new and
so far successful sovereign of Bulgaria,
the Gar Ferdinand.
In very interesting talk Mrs Aston
Thigpen told of life at the court-many
things were so like what any and every
body does that we all felt that the dis
tance between the classes is not so great
after all. In the courts there are good
and bad, prodigals, misers, faithful and
unfaithful And though, separated from
the great mass of humanity by line
drawn like the equator around the world
they are. after all, as human as we are
they love, hate, suffer and die.
Bright little pictures of royal chill
dren were pleasantly sketched by Mrs.
Boydston.
The discussion which was pro-
grammed to follow was omitted and an
invitation extended to Hypatia's guest
of honor, Mrs Benton McMillin OF
Tennessee, to give little talk, which
she did, relating most charmingly an
unpublished incident of the rich and
beautiful Miss Elkins' readiness OF
repartee-ari incident applauded in
court circles" as it was tilt between
this unspoiled Tennessee heiress and the
imperious Mrs. Longworth. It loht

In standing up for Redwood coun-
ty and Minnesota all the time one is
apt to displease real estate owners
elsewhere. THE GAZETTE thinks SO
much of it's subscribers that it will
continue to advise the owner of a
farm here to hold on to it, while
wishing success to those elsewhere.
Notwithstanding the testimony of
experts we still believe in timber
along open bitches. Don't plant
the scrub willow but get something
like the monarchs on DR.. Gibson
place or the English Red willow.
For centuries these have been plant
ed along bitches in that country.
Put in ash and elm. Plant them
back from the ditch and provide
future firewood. Where tile will
provide a sufficient outlet put them
in and of course never plant willows
along them. But tile is being put
in where no tile can do the work
and where there must be a larger
outlet. With irrigation bitches it
is very common to plant timber
along them. Use common sense and
there will be no danger. The GA
zETTE does not advocate digging
bitches merely to plant timber and
never has.
