On Thursday evening, August a
from nine until twelve the Misses
Futrell entertained in honor of Mr..
and Mrs. G.. B. Walton, Misses Mar
tha Lawrence and Mary Woodland,
of Norfolk, and Miss Nell Walters,
Of De Land, Fla.
The predominant note of the even
ing was informality, which added in
no small measure to the pleasure of all
present when all the guests had as
sembled in the parl3r the girls were
given peanuts with long strings at
tached.
Around with this weapon they retir-
ed to the second floor and fished for
a partner by dropping the peanut
down. All of the fishermen below
waited in tripidation and anxiety to
see what the peanut of their choice
held for them. Some chose-hy in
stinct-the one, while others had to
satisfy themselves with what had
been the longed for fish of another
fellow.
After all the partners bad been
chosen, each couple was invited to
visit the gepsy tent, where Miss Nina
Wells in gypsy costume, assisted by
Mr.. Sam Dunn, served punch from
big black pot suspended in front Of
the tent, and there all who wished
could have their palms read.
Again partners were found by
matching candy cards, and all re-
paired to the porch where the candy
wheel presided over in true to life
manner by Mr.. Lester Cherry and
Miss Woodward did a thriving busi-
ness. Everyone had the privilege of
turning the wheel and-unlike all
other candy wheels every one won
bag Of salted peanuts and candy.
But now another move was in Or
der. There were vegetables to be
matched, and those who found
their partners for the third amuse-
ment, wandered into the left parlor
where a most attractive "Quick
Lunch" Counter had been arranged.
Here all orders were filled quickly
and promptly by Mr.. Ray Boyette
and Miss Matte Lawrence.
After all had partaken of the
sandwiches, pickles, etc, the long
suffering guests were no longer
made to await with fear and trem-
bling their next match, for the boys
themselves made their engagements.
That was the kindest deed of all!
No more mismatched and mismated
couples but all had smile of per-
feet contentment. Telling this, it is
no wonder that everyone bought the
ice cream cones peddled by Misses
Olivia Lawrence, Cornelia Josey and
Stella Hoffman, and declared the
cream as good as they ever ate
What would not have tasted like
food Of the gods.
After all had been said that could
be said and something's that could
not be said looked, the good nights
were spoken. Only a dip in the surf
was necessary to make all feel that
they had indeed spent night at the
beach. And one as the members of
the Beach Party had celebrated in
song and story.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time | was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
OF skin on his whole body that was
not affected He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint.
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now | can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
Is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Spread of Christianity Threatens
Whole Structure of Hinduism
With Overthrow.

Hinduism is awakening to the fact
that II the great sub-strata of Hindu
society known as the depressed classes
ne raised by Christianity the whole
structure of Hinduism is theatened
with overthrow. This awakening is
Delng followed by efforts in various
parts for the improvement of these
poor people. The latest is move
ment in Ahmedabad. In that city, on
August 20, meeting was held at
which the attendance of the depressed
classes was encouraged and in which
they were allowed to sit beside caste
people. Resolutions were passed for
the formation of Central Hindu asSo-
citation. which should have for its OBJ
jects the raising of the depressed
classes and their readmission into
Hinduism after being converts to for
eign faiths. AS to the means to be
adopted for realizing these objects,
the following suggestions We're made:
(a) Starting schools, clubs and asso-
Citations; (b) establishing preaching
missions; (c) publishing papers,
periodicals, magazines and leaflets;
(dD adopting such other means as may
be conducive to the above objects.
