MASONIC BANQUET.


The fall meeting of Caldwell
Consistory closed last Thursday
night with a banquet in the dining
hall. The tables were set in the
shape OF triangle, with the newly
initiated members at table in the
center.
The dinner was served by the
ladies of St. Margaret's Guild, and
it was the unanimous verdict that
it was the best since the erection of
the Temple. 1t was full roast
turkey dinner with all the accom-
paniments. Everything was deli
ciously cooked, and was promptly
served, and there was great abun-
dance.
For the general management and
arrangement OF details the credit is
due to Mrs. Arthur Himiller, Pres
idont of the Guild. To feed ESQ
men at once is no small undeitak-
ing, but under Mrs. Himilller's di-
reclion the affair passed off without
a hitch, and it was pronounced a
decided success. In the work she
was ably assisted by number OF
the faithful workers of the guild.
twenty-five members Of the Con
sistory served the tables, and they
did it in most efficient and artis'
tic manner.

Not Worth While.

It's not worth while-the fretting,
The signing and the woe;
Best to spend your time forgetting
Your troubles as they go.
Best look ahead for laughter
And take no time for tears
The sunny days hereafter
VIII make the golden years.
It's not worth while-the grieying
About the chances lost;
What gain are you receiving
The while you count the cost?
Forget them, o, forget them!
Look on ahead and smile
he blue days. though you've met
them,
Are none of them worth while.
It's not worth while-the whining
When things are going wrong,
The mourning and repining-

Come, shake the shade of sadness
And lose the dream of gloom
Your heart beats time for gladness,
So give it lots of room.

Two Engagements for One Night.
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
| am very much puzzled. l made an
engagement with a young man for the
9Th of January. | had another friend.
who called on me regularly, but we did
not keep company. He gave me a very
nice Christmas present, but the follow
ing Sunday we had some words.
thought he would not call again, so
went to d party with some of my
friends, and a young man escorted me
home. and I made the engagement for
the eighth. Then my other friend called
New Years day and asked me to make
up. Now what can l do? 1 cannot
keep both dates. Your advice to others
is so good | know you can help me.
PUZZLED READER.
Why did you make two engagements
for n night? You knew that compli-
cations would follow. The only thing
TO do is to write a note to one or the
other. asking him to call some other
night. Id do it right away, if 1 we're
you.

ent, among them Tarpley cambridge,
who belongs to one of the very oldest
families in Georgia and is considered
the catch of the. county. Well, he sat
there like a stick in the cushion of his
and let Mr.. Buckley conduct the
entire conversation with the bishop. In
fact, Bishop Page simply directed most
of his remarks to Mr.. Buckley, and 1t
really was an intellectual treat. He
tripped the bishop up twice. and the
old man flushed, but l~aughingly adj
mitted he was wrong. He was most
favorably impressed with Mr.. Buckley,
and, of course, I. did not enter into
awkward explanations. Yes, his man
ners could not be improved. He must
have associated with refined people
when nhe was off at college. 1 shall
always Say that the surest sign of a
gentleman is for him to put his elbows
on the dinner table without seeming to
do it.. 1 don't say Mr.. Buckley puts
his on, but he doesn't sit up like a
post and not know what to do with his
hands, as some men do. He acts, even
on occasions like tina dinner, as if such
things were an everyday affair. The
maid. in passing around the table, awk-
wardly touched his elbow just as he
vas about to drink from his glass of
claret and shook some of the wine out
on my best cloth. Now, l once saw
the same thing happen to a man in
Richmond, and he promptly laid the
blame where it belonged to acquit him
self of appearing awkward, but Mr.
Buckley treated it with superb indif-
ference. He was telling some story,
and he did not even pause, but, taking
a salt cellar. he poured some of the
salt on the spot, and as he continued
to talk he kept rubbing it in as if he
hardly knew what he was doing. The
salt saved the cloth from a bad stain,
and it was all done as a prince might
have done it.
