A Successful Entertainment

The ladies of the Union church oi
this place gave an entertainment last
Thursday evening at the court house
for the purpose of raising funds to help
pay for piano recently installed in
the church.
The entertainment took the form of
an old Maids Convention" and
furnished great deal of fun for the
large audience which was in attendance.
The Convention opened on the stage
and was participated in by fourteen oi
the young ladies who were made up
in fashon to excite a great deal ol
merriment from their friends. The
chairman or chairwoman, just as you
please, was Mrs. Lonnie Parish and
she did herself great credit both in her
makeup and acting, but when one
starts to tell of the good points of the
show, he would have long task, for
they were all first class.
The young ladies taking part in the
entertainment were: Mrs. Lonnie Par
rish; Mrs. Ira Parrish; Mrs. Nellie
Walker; and Misses Lula Everett, Lena
Everett, Bessie Hensley, Topsy Bos-
we'll, Bessie Parrish, Ruth Parrish,
Edna McManus, Ethel Ray, Mary
Crockett, Olga Crockett and Bertha
Pumphrey. George Hensley was the
only male man in the show with a
speaking part. He was supposed to
have invented machine that could
transform the old maids into beautiful
young ladies, and they all took ad-
vantage of the offer. Some local hits
were handed out during the evening
that seemed to please the crowd con-
siderably.
During the interval while the old
maids were being transformed into
young ones, Miss Hicks rendered two
songs in very pleasing manner.
Miss Hicks has very sweet and clear
voice and knows how to handle it.
After being transformed into hand
some young people again the ladies
gave very pleasing drill and wound
up the performance with tableau.
The proceeds of the evening were
somewhere in the neighborhood of
thirty-fve dollars, which will give
good lift to the payment of the piano.

Moses Wetmore Dead

The news dispatches of Sunday con-
tanned the information that Moses Wet
more, the St. Louis tobacco manu-
facturer, and who is we'll known to a
great number of the people of this
county, died at his home in St. Louis
on that day.
Mr.. Wetmore was born on farm in
Illinois "a years ago, and as young
man worked at the carpenter trade.
He moved to St. Louis just prior to
the civil war, and at the breaking out
of the war enlisted and served through
out that struggle. After the war he
returned to St. Louis and entered the
employ of Liggett & Myers, tobacco
manufacturers, where he worked his
way up in the business until he be-
came president of the company, a
position which he held until the factor
les were absorbed by the trust.
Mr.. Wetmore was something of a
national figure in the councils of the
democratic party, and always took a
great interest in the campaigns, being
a member of the national commit
tee.
Colonel Wetmore was something of
a sportsman and had large game pre-
serve in fancy County, in which Bry-
An and other Democrats of national re-
pute often hunted as his guests.
Wonderful stories about the deer and
wild turkeys they killed were printed
from time to time. Colonel Wetmore
had extensive investments. For many
years he was half owner of the Planters
hotel in St. Louis and made that hotel
his home. Many a Democratic poll
ticion has eaten there as his guest and
the meals he ordered when he had a
friend for a guest are the subject for
many a story among the Missouri
politicians.

SOME WAYS OF THE WORLD.

That there can be great deal of selfish
ness involved in giving away may surprise
some people remarked the philosopher
But it is nevertheless true. I do not refer
to that form of giving which seeks graft
tude. but to that form which makes of ones
friends and relatives human waste baskets :
Many persons give away half worn gar
ments. merely 10 have legitimate excuse
for buying new. And many a suffering re-
cipient has been condemned TO the wearing
of clothes she did not choose like or find
becoming, because duty and the voice of
those about her said: Oh well. you need
not get that suit, hat or wrap now You
really can manage very well with Ma arion's =
And all this while Marion was parading new
clothes plus a reputation for generosity
both undeserved.
There are cases where half worn gar
ments have value. A girl going far away
may be glad of your old suit 10 save her
new one in dull weather Mothers of chill
dren often rejoice over summer garments
that will make tiny frocks or coats. But
find out just what your bounty entails be
fore you indulge in 1t. And rise If you can
to the generosity of sometimes giving money
to that younger cousin in Strengthened cir
cumstances. that she, not you. may have
the new garment. Then you will deserve
YOUR reputation for generosity, and oh, how
your beneficiary will bless instead OF ours

little silver teaban suff1ces. Served with
a little sugar and a squeeze of lemon in
papier mache cups, what more can one
ask? A can of condensed or evaporated
milk must accompany the coffee drinking
picnickers.
What vast possibilities there are in the
ashes of a campfire. Potatoes and corn
roasted in their Jackets never taste better,
and apples baked in this fashion are su-
perb. Eggs wrapped in wet newspaper and
baked in the ashes are much more de-
Iicious than when they are hard boiled at
home.
While these things are being done" in
the cinders, one can roast chickens or broil
chops or steaks or fry bacon over the
flames. To do these things there is no
need of carrying heavy broilers and fry
ing pans from home because plentiful
supply of sapItngs will do as we'll Two
forked branches set into the ground, with
a third TO cross them. supply a spit for
the fowl upon which it may be roasted in
good old medieval style. And long slender
boughs with pointed forked ends do very
well with which to suspend chops oyer the
leaping flames.
Another way of roasting chickens and
corn, which is practised in New England
towns, is 10 dig a deep hole in the ground
for the fire, cover this with chicken wire
and place the split fowl and the ears in
their thinnest green shells on this impro-
vised broiler. Seasoned with pepper and
salt, garnished with A dab of butter or

HOW TO SERVE WATERMELON
The Effective Green Rind May Be Util-
ized as a Bowl for the Pink Fruit.

Though most true lovers of the water
melon will insist that the only way to en-
Joy the fruit thoroughly is to eat IL '.au
natural as the picka ninnfes do this Is
hardly proper and befitting manner for
the luncheon table.
The commonest method of serving the
melon is TO cut it not into the crescent
shaped pieces beloved by the darkey, but
in pie-shaped triangles- 1t Is pIeasantest
to serve these without the rind, and for
this purpose the fruit should be carved In
the following manner: Slice off both round
ends Cut the remaining portion in two.
Then cut the pink centres out of either of
these sections and serve them on pIattsrs
of ample size. At the table pieces may be
cut into individual portions
A more novel method is to utilize the ef-
fective green rind a bowl for the pink
centre Cut the melon in half Iengthwise
and trim it the bottom. that it may
stand firmly on the platter 1t may be
brought to the table in this manner OF
scooped out with large berry spoon The
platter should be garnished with large
green leaves-fron vine or bush
When one owns a French potato ball
scoop the pulp may be shaped in little
round balls and served in sherbert glasses
with lemon or pineapple ice These balls
are also a decided addition to fruit cock
tails or fruit hash.
In serving melons one must always re-
member to have them and the pIatters
from which they are TO be served thorough
~ chilled Some people are of the opin-
ion that salt brings out the flavor. while
others prefer sugar.
The same rule for chilling holds good
with TnuSkInelOns, To serve them with
chopped ice in thesholIowed centre is to de-
tract from their taste. as we'll as 20 bother
the consumer. They may be eaten with
sugar, salt pepper cinnamon or SALAD
dressing, according to preference

NOT DISMAL OR DOWDY
Modern Mourning Is Becoming
Smart and Comfortable.

The woman of to-day need not look
either dismal or dowdy when she, wears
mourning, and this summer, because trans
parent materials are used more than ever
she can be cool and comfortable. as well
as smart in appearance She can wear
guimpes Of chiffon and silk hosiery made
largely of open work, with pumps OF the
lowest cut, and she IS not debarred from
the stockless gown Many delightful ac-
cessories are provided for her having an
airiness of effect that affords relief from
the irritations of warm weather even
when 1t does not actually influence the
temperature of the wearer.
For occasions when the stock is not worn
there are turnover collars in both black
and white crepe. edged with bands OF the
same a little less than two inches in wsdth
These collars are round at the outer edge,
but are cut out in a shallow in front,
which gives them line at the throat that
is generally more attractive than the one
