Embroidery Club.

Mrs. L. H. Baggett, the popular
organizer of the Embroidery Club,
entertained the organization royal.
ly on yesterday afternoon. Her
lovely dining room was made the
place of meeting for the large
gathering of members and visitors,
and "42" engrossed the attention
of both 1.-THE learned and the un-
learned" after the display of a
few dainty pieces of handwork
which go to sustain the reputation
of the club as it was christened.
However, the Embroidery Club is
really considered a purely social
affair and is season of rest to
many of our busy literary and bus
mess women at each meeting and
consequently greatly enjoyed.
A delightful lunch of three
courses was served.
Among Mrs. Baggett's guests
we're Mrs. Beemon, of Yazoo, Mrs.
Marchant, Of California, Mrs.
Hubert, Mrs. Heuck, Miss Heuck,
Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Hobbs, Mrs.
Cruise, Mrs. Sherman. Mrs. E. M.
Bee, Miss Ethel Hardy and Mrs.
John B. Marshall.

Last SUNDAY at Heuck'S.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Heuck, Mr..
Ed. Penn, Miss Laurie Penn, Miss
nellie Sanders and the editor of The
Leader spent last Sunday at
Heuck S Retreat in attendance upon
Pastor Darling's missionary rally.
The Heuck's Retreat people are a
wide-aWake, progressive commun-
ity, thoroughly alive along relig-
ious, educational and agricultural
lines. They have a nice new
church, one of the most COM
modious and best arranged country
school houses in the county, and
there is an evidence of thrift and
improvement about the farms in
that locality that is inspiring.
Prof. j. E. Woodward, principal
Of the school, who is evidently the
right man in the right place, has
lately built for himself neat, COM
Portable cottage near the school
grounds. Dinner was furnished to
the congregation Sunday on the
grounds by the hospitable people of
the community, and if all were
served as bountifulIy as Prof. Bra
Gle Campbell and the editor by
Mesdames j. L. Woodward and
Frank Smith, there were a good
many basketfuls of fragments left.

Sugar and the Tariff.

Washington, March 10.-As more
than half expected Robert F. Brous-
sard, representative from the third
Louisiana district, was today ap-
pointed a member Of the house
committee on Ways and Means.
His appointment is without the ap-
proyal of Champ Clark, the Demo
cratic leader. That, however, is
of no particular significance from
the point Of view Of the man who
is seeking to discover how things
are going to be done during this
extraordinary session of congress
Times Democrat Staff Special.
Sugar has long wanted and wait
ed to get in the ways and means

ed as a result Of the feud that has
frost bitten the Champ Clark lead

cock, the lobby representative Of

substance, that the trust fixed the

ged all the sugar tariff usufruct.

COhn.MendIe.

The marriage of Miss Threasa-
Mendle, of Brookhaven, and Mr..
Max Cohen, of Kansas City, No.,
which was celebrated on Tuesday
evening at the Jewish synagogue;
was a very interesting and beauti-
full event.
The altar was banked with grace
full palms and ferns, broad bands
OF white ribbon being used further
in the decoration OF the attractive
sanctuary.
Mrs. Henry Greenwood sang a
very lovely solo just before the en-
trance of the bridal party.
The bridal party consisted of
Mrs. A. Mendle, the brides mo-
ther. and Mr.. Joseph Abrams, of
st. Louis; Mrs. A. Lowenstein, of
Kansas City, Mo-, sister of the
groom, and Mr.. Max Cohn, the
groom; Miss Threasa Mendle and
Mr.. Morris Mendle, her brother.
These were preceded to the altar by
the ushers, Messrs. Lea Shoen-
haltz, of Hazlehurst, Willie Berger,
Walter Priebatsch and Abb Cohn,
of Brookhaven.
The marriage service was most
impressively said by Rabbi M.
Bergman, of New Orleans.
The bride was very charming
in an exquisitely beautiful gown of
white satin and lace, with conven-
tional veil and orange blossoms,
and bore an arm bouquet of white
carnations and ferns. The groom
was certainly one of the handsom-
est and happiest Brookhaven has
known in all her matrimonial an
nails.
The bridal party and relatives
were entertained informally at the
home of the brides mother, where
many kilograms of congratulation
were received. The lovely and val
liable bridal gifts were feast to
every eye. Among the latter was
a $500 check from the brides mo-
ther and one for $100 from Mr..
Morris Mendle.
The bridal couple left on the
morning train for New Orleans to
spend their honeymoon.
May the sunshine of their early
love continue through the years to
come, and shed its radiance still
what e'er betide," is the wish of
mum erous friends.

My little daughter once said to me,
But, mama, why must / say
"please" and thank you' to An
ma, in the kitchen? Because, my
child, you show to her that there is
a dignity in laboring with the
hands, as we'll as in the other labors
of life. You show you respect for
it and also cultivate self-respect.
You never can give that which you
do not have in yourself. To see
the beautiful, you must feel the
beautiful. 1t is only as we grow
great in little things that we grow
truly great.
Consideration of others is a seed
from which spring marvellous
growths. The instant a boy takes
his cap off for mother or teacher
he knocks at the door of the man.
hood within him.
Parents, help the teachers; visit
the schools; keep young by joining
the force for all progressive things
in your environments. Forget how
old you are, and the wrinkles will
forget to warp your faces. Be
young with the children. Make
home and school life abound with
the gladness of work. If every
parent in Mississippi would feel
that the school life was as sacred as
home life of their children; that
they should be the store house from
which the teacher could draw cour-
age, support and approval; that
they feel it their bounden duty to
visit the school now and then; see
to it that their children are up
right and loyal to the interests. of
the school, Mississippi could then
boast of its parentage.
Diogenes struck the father when
the son sWore.
Let US all keep that clearly in
mind. We are good or poor exam
Piles for our children. Help your
children to seek high ideals and
they will never be satisfied with
low ones. Then dreams of the
coming years will be fulfilled and
your faces will be turned ever up
ward, and on to the ascending
pathways which lead to the summit.
Of knowledge and nobility of iiv-
ing.
Can we not say we have solved
our conundrum? Have we not
found that the greatest things of
life come from the marhood and
womanhood which is born from the
consciousness Of duty and honor,
love and good will, loyalty to our
homes, our country and our God.

endowed with the brain of a Milton
and strength of Samson. The
people, from those who are child
less, as well as those who have
money, should aid him in every
way to carry out his plans.
A great many years ago France,
led by Napoleon, swept over Ger
many, leaving desolation from end
to end. A German seer, or wise
man, who could see into the COM
ing years, rose in his council and
said, "We must rebuild Germany
by educating the Germans. Many
years passed away and Germany
swept across France and laid her at
the mercy of the German conquer
er, who dictated the terms of peace
in Paris. Thensa seer arose and
said Germany owes her victory not
to her arms, but to her school
teachers. In this we see the
effect of combined efforts coming
from the hourly and daily knowl-
edge gained by each individual.
Such combinations are tremendous
in power. The great lowered
plain of the West would not be
transformed, here and there, to
a Persian rug, intricate
IN design, grand in gorgeous color
ing, should one color reign alone.
All must combine to get the ar
mour of hues, the grandeur and
effectiveness of combination. No
one is sufficient unto himself.
We must merge our thought and
efforts with those around
US, it We would make the State of
Mississippi higher in the scale of
the beautiful and great in life.
Let each one of US form a code
by which to commence work.
Practice with every good desire
you have, then watch what comes.
You cannot gain the great things
without practicing with the small
ones. They are the alphabet of the
great ones. Practice at home and
at school on mother and teacher.
Try saying please and thank
you and see how the faces light
up. Be sure to notice that little
thrill OF JOY and gladness which
runs through your own heart; how.
someway or somehow. everything
and everybody seem better to you.
You may think this trivial; that
these things need to be used only
when away from home and school.

Elaine and her mother went into the
store and as soon as they had left Jane,
the little girl who didn't see anything
she cared for" said to her mother:
Mamma. did you ever see such a hor-
rid, ordinary doll as that little girl
thought I'd like to have? Wasn't it
ugly?"
1T is not pretty as the French
dolls, but il is beautiful to that little
girl because she has never owned a
doll" said her mother.
"Is there any girl in the world who
has never owned single dolly, man.
MAJ? asked Elaine.
Yes, a great many who have never
had a doll all their own"
Elaine looked puzzled. This was
new thought for her. All the little
girls whom she knew had a room full
of all kinds of toys and dolls of all
nations-so many that they did not
know what to do with them.
Elaine walked with her mother but
even among all the new toys she saw
in the store she was trying to imagine
how it could be possible for another
girl never to have owned a doll.
Elaine" said her mother. how would

tie girl the first doll she's ever had?"
Elaine was kind hearted child, who
would have been very much sweeter IL
she had not been spoiled by having too
much, so she was very glad to be able
to buy the poor girl doll.
Lets get her a great big one, not
that horrid little one she liked" was
her answer.
There isn't one doll in the store she
would love to have nearly as much as
the one she thinks so beautiful 1t

1t all yourself and give it to herr
Meanwhile Jane was standing where
she had spent at least three hours and
was taking a good night look at her
treasure In silence and with longing.
Suddenly. she was about to turn
away. she saw a saleswoman from the
inside of the store reach out her hand
toward No. "25." AS she looked her
heart stopped beating for a minute.

Elaine came down with her mother.
One of her hands was snuggled warm
ly in beautiful fur muff and in the
other she carried doll. Jane looked
at her, she held the "littlest one"
Without a moments hesitation Jane
went up to her and said: II am so
glad you got her, though I'll be awful
sorry to find her place empty tomorrow
when / come. 1 knew you couldn't
help loving her. May / hold her just
one minute?"
She's yours to keep said Elaine.
Jane looked at her moment with wide
open eyes.
You can't mean that the 1ittiest
one is for me-that she can go home
and stay with me always"
Yes, she's all yours and 1 hope you
have very merry Christmas an

James cold little hand reached out
to take the doll and she looked up into
Elaine's face with an expression which
meant more thank yous than any she
could say. The littlest one" was all
her own.

drove home they saw Jane running
