Society Will Dress for the Cardinal

The edict recently issued by Pope Plus that cardinals and high church men should not attend dinner parties where low cut gowns are worn, which edict was taken up and circulated by Cardinal Farley and Cardinal Bourne, of London, is, it is said, causing women in society to seek their dress makers in haste.

EHyASHINGTON.-C A. Tooreyson, w who calls Ladonia his home and travels for a St. Louis wholesale grocery-house, was talking of school day experiences. Charlie was one of "Peck's bad boys" one of the unter- rified village cut-ups, when he went to school, in the '7Os. He admits that he and most of his companions were pretty hard to handle.
 'I went to school in Martinsburg in 1S7S," he said. Miss Bennett of Cal laway county, now the wife of Speak CT Clark, was my teacher, and, believe me, she knew her business. She was the assistant teacher in the school
 There were four boys in Miss Ben nett's class who were looked upon as really tough. As they used to say in those days, they were hard nuts to crack, but there wasn't one of us that ever frightened Miss Bennett. Charlie Clark, Tom Roach, Will Powell and myself constituted this quartet of bad ones, and what meanness one couldn't think of the other could.

 Senator John Sharp Williams whose absent-mindedness is notorious. is also a keen student of practical jokes.
 They were having a house party at the Williams home here, recently, and some of the young people asked the senator to cooperate with them in playing a merry trick on his son. The plan was to squirt a quantity of ice water over the transom on young VII Hams after he had retired for the night As father and son were shar- ing the same bedroom during the house party, the senator would get to witness the result of the experiment. and he entered into the spirit of the prank with much zest. He indicated the bed occupied by his son and with his own hands helped to rig up the ice water apparatus.
 About one o'clock that night wild snort of dismay from Senator VII Hams echoed and re-echoed through the house.
 He had absent-mindedly gone to sleep in his sons bed.
