Society,",
A Red Letter Day.

Tuesday afternoon, while the rain ant
sunshine played hide and seek from
to o'clock, company of twenty-si,
ladies assembled in the lovely home O
Mrs. D. E. Penick to observe in memo
rial, in an impressive and pleasant way
the heavenly birthday Of Frances E,
Willard. But for the frequent showers
quite a number of invited guests would
have shared Mrs. Penick's hospitality.
She is one of those whole-hearted wo-
men who never does anything by halves,
SO you may infer how beautifully and
uniquely everything was planned and
executed. Misses Annie and Allie Mai
Little assisted the hostess in receiving
and serving the guests. As they ar
rived they were conducted INTO the
beautifully arranged dining room where
Miss Annie knew just how to preside in
serving the dainty refreshments, the
white ribbon bow being decidedly in ev-
idence. A small card upon which was
printed one of Miss Wizards sayings,
to which was attached white bow, was
presented to each as a souvenir of the
occasion. Miss Allie Mai gracefully
presided at the graphophone, delight
ing every one with sweet strains OF mu-
sic, knowing just where to intersperse
the sacred and secular music to suit
every TASTE The dear old song, Sill
yer Threads Among the Gold" never
sounded sweeter. The hour having ar
rived for the opening of our program,
Mrs. White, our president, requested a
few moments devoted to silent prayer,
followed with an earnest invocation by
Mrs. Miles; then few we'll chosen
scripture selections were read. The I'M
ayoidable absence of some who were as
signed parts on the program necessi-
tated its being incomplete. The read
ing of Miss Wizards sayings from the
souvenir cards, in which each without
preparation could take some part,
opened our program, and this, followed
by well chosen selection taken from
THE Beautiful Life of Frances E. Will
lard" on her "Choice of Career, " and
a few short character sketches were
read. A good letter from our beloved
greatheart, Mrs. Holman, was read for
our encouragement, which completed
the program. After having spent a
most pleasant and, we hope profitable
hour, every one was lavish in pronounc-
ing the occasion a perfect success, not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather. A w. G. I, U.

First Appearance Of the Gentleman
With the Pointed Beard,

First Appearance of the Gentleman
With the Pointed Beard.
The lovers travelled up to London
together. 1t was an odd situation.
Three or four hours before this they
had been strangers. Now they were
vowed to each other--never had any
thing been so rapid before. Neverthe-
less, swift as everything had been on
that golden afternoon among the flow
ers SOf the old rectory garden, both
Captain Marriott and Daisy Hobson
lostsssight Of the fact. They talked as
II they had known each other for
many years. There was sweet in
terchange of condolences. Already
they felt welded and one.
While Daisy was packing her trunk
another telegram had arrived from
London addressed to Basil It was
from Michael Grant.
Immediately upon receipt of the
wire from the Duchess, Daisy had tel
egraphed her acceptance of the pro-
posal. This wire to Marriott was OBJ
viously forwarded after the receipt Of
Daisy's message. The despatch had
been sent from the office in ST.
James's Street, which showed Basil
that Michael Grant was with the
Duchess at 1O0a, Piccadilly. II read !,
Come up with Miss Hobson. Send
her straight to Piccadilly, and you
come to my chambers. Grant.
The afternoon was over, and dusk
was telling now. as the lovers sat
alone in the first-class carriage of the
train that was hurlying them through
the pleasant English countryside
towards the unknown future.
There is one thing, Daisy darling. ;"
Basil said, which seems to me quite
extraordinary"
What Is that?''
Why, IT is your father he an
swered, the way he took the news Of
our engagement, and the fact that
you were going on to Germany as the
companion OF the Duchess at mo-
ment's notice!'
& Daisy laughed. "Oh," she said,
father was always like that. Moth
Ing disturbs him very much"
I should think not" Basil thought
to himself, remembering with an In
ward smile OF amusement his inter-
view with the rector SO short time
