SERVING IN PROPER MANNER
Knocked Vegetables Must BE Put on
Table So That Appetite
May Be Tempted.

Knocked vegetables. such as
onions, radishes and cucumbers. should
always be prepared in an appetizing
manner for the table. 4 large Ber-
muda onion may be sliced to form
sections resembling those OF an
orange. If these are placed in a sau-
cer-shaped dish and the sections d.
vided with curled parsley the result
will be very pleasing. Cucumbers cut
into cubes and chilled are nicely
served with olives. surrounded with
parsley or upon lettuce leaves. Rad
iShes. especially the small red ones.
may be cut into thin slices and mixed
with salads. They look tasty among
wax beans in a vegetable salad. by
cutting the thin skin of a radish into
fiower-like petals and folding them
back. each radish will appear like a
miniature rosebud CucumberS cut
lengthwise and followed make pretty
receptacles for a vegetable salad.

ance Union has just completed its
four days State convention at George
town, one of the most hospitable
places it has ever been our pleasure
to visit. From first to last the hosts
and hostesses seemed to vie with one
another in their attentions to their
guests. We were given a delightful
sail down Sampit, Waccamaw and
Black rivers into winyah Bay, and
even a little ways out into the ocean.
We returned by moonlight, and the
beautiful shimmering On the waters,
combined with the lovely coloring on
the horizon was grand. We sang many
old hymns and temperance songs
dear to our hearts.
A full house greeted the contestants
Sunday night. Miss Mertie William
son won the gold medal in oratory,
and Miss Eta Shelley the silver med
al in singing. For once in our lives
the house agreed with the decision OF
the judges.
A student in Furman university took
the S. prize for the best temperance
essay in the State.

once. Report, report, report.
Miss Jessie Curtiss, State superin-
tendent of this department gave the
successful county a lovely handpaint-

the ones on "How Tennessee went

lengthy and taking. Her pleasing man

crowded into the wireless station
we're Mrs. Wellman and her two
daughters and they expressed the ut

expedition.
The last message received from
Wellman late this afternoon was to
the effect that the course had been
laid for the Gorth passage from New
Foundland and that speed had been
cut to Is knots an hour, for the pur-
pose of saving the gasoline fuel.
Enough gasoline is being carried to

without drifting long on the ocean.
