MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW

The popular" writer who bewails

that be iEculcating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t Is q danger which even the
cumulative theory of literature or
space rates cannot justify.
The mother Of the past, OF course,
was different from the mother Of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions OF life then and now,
but since her daughter IL the mother
of the present there must be some
points Of similarity. All the good in
our mothers and grandmothers GER

will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their precepts and examples and

this writer does not mean to do that.

does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentiment

children,s Food.

Certain little suggestions are always
to be followed when planning the diet
of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery never
serve hot stewed fruit to the children.
Plenty of stewed fruit and baked ap-
pies they should eat. but they must
invariably be cooked the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery po-
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled in their jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with
out their skins supply starch. with .
loss of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process of cooking into the white part
of the vegetable.

home of the brides parents, Mr. and
Mrs R E Burgess, near Bethel church,
Mr. Roland D Mills, one of the
directors Of the Peopl e's
Mercantile Co, was united in the
holy bonds of matrimony to Miss
Emma Burgess, the marriage cere-
mony being performed by Rev W A
Fairy, pastor of Kingstree Methodist
church. The popularity of the bride
and groom was well demonstrated
by the numerous handsome presents
received and the large attendance of
guests from Williamsburg, Florence
and Clarendon counties.
At the appointed hour, a p. m,
the bridal party entered the beauti-
fully decorated room, the bride at
tended by Miss Fannie Epps and the
groom by his best man, Mr. J L Rich
ardson of Lake City. After Rev Mr.
Fairy had performed the beautiful
ceremony, uniting this popular cou-
pie for life in the holy bonds of mat
rimony, many warm and hearty con-
gratulations were bestowed upon the
happy couple.
Then the wedding feast! Bethel
