IDEAS WE SHOULD HEED.

It may seem to the majority of wom-
en- that advice concerning the wash
ing Of coffee and tea pots was entirely
uncalled for; but knowledge Of facts
show that poor coffee is more often
the result of unclean pots than from
inferior coffee.
Tea and coffee pots should be
washed after using them just as care
fully as one does their good china,
and left to air in the sunlight If pos
sible. The ideal way to serve tea
Is in using a teaball at the table, but
for everyday life most people are too
busy for such pleasures, so that a
stone or earthen teapot Is best to use.
Teapots that are not in, frequent
use will become musty, and should be
scalded and well aired before using.
II a lump of sugar is left in company
pot it will absorb the impurities.
Coffee pots should never stand
around with the grounds in them. If
coffee is to be warmed over, drain it
and reheat when wanted. If the cof-
fee pot is emptied as soon as the meal
Is over and filled with cold water and
boiled the pot will always be sweet
Coffee is better and pots are easier
cleaned II cheesecloth bags are used
to hold the coffee or. better still, have
percolator.
A raw egg or two beaten up and
milk or cream added, with little
sugar. pinch of salt and grating Of
nutmeg will often be most satisfying
when the stomach has spell of rebel
lion.

HANDLE MANURE
DIRECT Is BEST
Prof. GAImore OF New York Sta
E1on Finds Much Loss Where
Allowed TO BE Exposed
TO Weather.

On the subject OF hauling manure,
Professor Gilmore OF the New York
experiment station, says:
I'VE think, all things considered, It
is better to haul manure directly from
the stable to the fields than it is to
pile it up for any length OF time.
''If weIl-rotted manure is desired
for trucking purposes or for top
dressing for hay lands, then 1t must
be stored, but under ordinary condi-
tions for this purpose losses from 25
to 45 per cent. in the fertilizing value
OF manure occur. and II 1t is NOT kept
reasonably wet and stirred from time
to time, excessive fermentation re-
suits, to say nothing OF dry burning
end leaching. Losses amounting to
81 to 81 per cent. have been recorded

You have noticed that there is a
great part Of the seed that is not
filled up by the baby plant. This
part is filled with food upon which
the plant lives until it gets roots long
enough to feed itself.
After the food in the seed is all
used up, there must be other food in
the soil ready for 1t to live on. This
Is the critical time in a young plants
life. If it Is starved and stunted now,
it will never make up for it.
Remember. then, that good seed, a
well prepared seed-bed, and plenty Of
food in the right shape for the young
plant to use, are the first things to
look after, If you wish to make good
profit on your seasons work.

...5orial

On Tuesday afternoon, February the
fourteenth, Mrs. J. Sidney Sharp en-
tertained in honor of charming Mem
phian, Mrs. Boiling Sibley, who, to-
gether with her dainty little daughter,
is the house guest of this delightful
young matron.
The afternoon was an ideal one, be-
ing truly spring day of bright sum
shine and pleasant breezes.
At the door the cards were taken by
little Daisy Lee Roane, niece of DR..
Sharp; Dorothy Sibley and John Sidney,
Jr., the young son Of the house. In
the hall, to take charge of the wraps
of the guests, were two of the fairest
of young girls: Misses Ella Mai Mel
! ton and Hattie Moody. After leaving
the cloak room, the guests were re-
ceived in the hall by Mesdames w. j..
Jennings and Drew Roane, who in turn
; introduced them to Mesdames Bernard
and Robert Sharp, with Miss Louise
Austin, who then presented them
to Mrs. Sharp and the guest of
honor in the library, where also were
DR.. Sharp's mother, Mrs. J. w.
Sharp, and Mrs Sharp's grandmother,
Mrs. F. M. Foster, of Virginia.
In the dining room were Mesdames
P. w. Wright, w. E. Mccormick and
r. c. Trusty. while at the table pre-
sided Mrs. G. w. Eatman and Miss
Lizzie Leigh. Assisting these were
Misses Bella Gwin, Mary Mullin, Ethe
York, Esther Broadstreet, Roberts
Dubard and Rebecca Guy.
In the rear hall Miss Bird SHARP
served delicious frozen punch; and was
assisted by two very lovely little maid
ems: Mary Roane and Fanny Guy
while the entertainment of the guest.
in this part of the house was looked af
ter by Mrs. G. D. Thomerson and Miss
Julia Lake.
Mrs. Sharp has one of the most at
tractive of Grenada's new homes, an,
it was most artistically decorated TO
this occasion. There were beautiful
pot plants, with lovely jonquils and vi
olets in the hall, red carnations in tn
library, while the climax was rsache,
in the dining room, where the tabl
was harmony in pink and white, tn
softly shaded pink candles with pinl
and silver shades, from the handsom
electroleer with its pink globes
came long streamers of pink tulle in
tertwined with Southern smilax to tn
four corners of the table, on whic
; were bowls of pink and white mints
salted nuts, crystalized fruits an
e plates of sandwiches, while at eithe
. end were tea and coffee services.
The afternoon was a beautiful su,
cess, and will give Mrs. Sibley anothe
,. memory to add to the many which sh

The social event of last week was
the reception on Tuesday afternoon,
given by Mrs. F. F. Bell in honor of
her sister, Mrs. Bessie Stone Freeman,
of St. Louis, who has recently come to
Grenada to live.
The affair was delightful in all its
arrangements, its hospitable as we'll as
its social features. The balmy atmos-
phere brought forth the spring CO.'S
tunes of the ladies', and through the
open doors arriving guests were greeted
with the breath of violets, blended with
the murmuring voices of women of the
Southland. In the hall was stationed a
bevy of young ladies-Miss Ida Austin
and Miss Gwin serving punch to the
visitors, from an old silver bowl which
had belonged to the.great-great grand
mother of Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Freeman
in Virginia. From the reception room,
other young ladies' ushered the guests
into the dining room, where refresh
ments were served on a table beaut-
fully decorated in pink and violet-all
the flowers consisting of violets and
narcissus, while the candles were shad-
ed with pink, and the decoration bor-
der of pink tulle which outlined the ta-
BILE was accentuated by punches of vio-
let's at regular intervals; also mass of
these fragrant blossoms of spring was
piled high in the center.
Mrs. Trusty, d bride of last autumn,
who made herself popular as Miss Mar
garet Hughes, looked very handsome,
and was an agreeable guide from the
reception parlor to the refreshment
room, where old and young and mid
dle-aged all met and fingered, while
they enjoyed the social atmosphere
that gave gay sparkle and left pleas
ant reminders to all the guests of Mrs.
Bells reception.
