The Hunters License

People resent the passage OF laws
evidently framed for the purpose of
bestowing privileges on those able
to pay for them. There are men to-
day in Vermont who have sworn new
er to vote the Republican ticket
again until the hunters license law
is repealed and no little part of the
small majority last year was caused
by these men either not voting or
else voting with the opposition. The
Vermont freeman is live wire when
you tamper with what he calls his
rights. "-Poultney Journal.
A Republican that would desert
his party because he failed of a pot
shot at chipmunk is too much Of
a statesman to be circumscribed by
the limitations OF any party. He
should get himself Incorporated by
the secretary of state into a nation.

Gray, who is always handsomely gowned, received her guests in a white chiffon robe embroidered in pink roses.
 The appointments of the table were in harmony with the surroundings afforded by the handsome dining room. The cover was fashioned of the most exquisite type of Venetian filet lace, it's delicate trans parency showing a satin lining of the soft shade of the Killarney roses which were used in such abundance. In the center pink Killarney roses and white hyacinths filled a large silver vase So profusely as to give the appearance of a great mound of blossoms. Surroundiny 2 the central motive and adding to its sumptuousness were four smaller silver vases filled with the blooms and match ing in design the heavy candlesticks of silver whose lights burned beneath rose silk shades.
 The chandelier and refiectors were gar landed with pink roses and the lights were encased in sheaths like rose petals. At each cover lay a cluster of flowers, either large corsage bouqhet of Killarney rosebuds and Roman hyacinths or the small boutonniere for the men, these, with the handsome central decoration, making the table a lovely flower picture. The places were marked by little French ballet dancers with fluffy pink skirts dainty souvenirs of Mrs Gray's last Eu- ropean tour, and in each of the courses a suggestion of the pink and white mos tive was evident.
 Those who shared this delightful hos pitality were MT. and Mrs. Ross c. Smith, MT. and Mrs. Leslie Fulenwider MT. and Mrs. A. W. Nelson. MT. and Mrs Culpepper Exum, Mrs. Marie Hudgins McBee. MT. w. Nj Drennen and Mir. and Mrs Henry Gray.

The harp promises to be generally adopted among music students locally Several girls in the younger society set have adopted it recently in substitution for the piano. One of Mrs. Chalifouxs young students sat at her harp few days ago working upon dainty little theme, when a caller in the home, looking in upon her re- marked, What a perfectly lovely oppor- turity to exhibit those adorable little hands" And it unquestionably was, for while there is no musical instrument as poetic or graceful there is also none in which a woman makes a more charming picture. The fact that Mrs Chalifoux has again taken up her harp after leaving it unstrung for several years adds an other welcome element to the status of music in Birmingham.
