pRENuPTIAL LUNCHEON.

PRENUPTIAL LUNCHEON.
The luncheon given Saturday by
Mrs j. r. White complimentary to
Miss Laura B. owen, was happy
affair.
Festoons of little red hearts were
part of the house decorations,
while the table with it's bouquet of
red carnations, encircled by hearts
and cupids and the heart-shaped
place-cards, was most attractive in
appearance.
A delicious three-course luncheon
was served at / o'clock, in which
the scheme of hearts prevailed and
even the dessert, which was served
at table by the hostess, had been
prepared in a large heart-shaped
mould. The guests were asked to
write on the reverse side of their
pIace-cards advice for the bride-to-
be. These wittieisms when read caus-
ed much merriment. Some of these
bits Of wisdom were in verse and
much wholesome advice was given.
which no doubt will be followed to
the letter, as the place-cards were
presented to Miss Owen as souven-
irs of the occasion.
The ladies had been asked to
bring thimbles and the afternoon
was spent in hemming tea-towels as
additional souvenirs. These were
embroidered in some quite striking
and original designs.
A very pleasant feature was the
arrival of a letter from Miss Laura
White, who is now at Charlestown.
S. c. With the letter came mess
age of love and book of Charles
town recipes for the guest of honor.

after six, given as a courtesy to Miss
Harriet Fairfield whose marriage to
Mr. Arthur Lee of this city will oc-
cur this spring.
Dainty red hearts guided the
guests to their places around the
prettily decorated table and by the
soft light of pretty red candles a
delicious dinner was served. Follow
ing the dinner the bewildered bride
to-be was told to seek for her gifts,
the guests having in the meantime
been given tiny red arrows which
they placed around the rooms point
ing in the direction where each gift
was concealed. Much merriment
was caused in this way and Miss

numerous presents.
The remainder of the evening was
greatly enjoyed by taking fashlight

the same is true of the great sea of
humanity. Perfect rest is not to be
found in the imperfect present or
der. In Heaven there will be no sin
and therefore no unrest The sea
suggests the dark and mysterious
and not until the end of the present
order will its million mysteries be
revealed The same is true of hui
man experience for in this life we
are all the time facing the myster-
ious, things which we cannot now
understand, but which will finally
be fully revealed. To John the sea

him to the lonely isle of Patmos. In
this world all men have their limi-

The sea of death separates us from

there are many things which make

the home where separation would
be unknown and where "the sea was

In closing, Rev. Martin said that
these great and precious promises
should soothe and sustain us to the
end. In this world we find unrest,
mystery, limitations, and separa-
ton. but in the higher life these
things shall all be changed, giving
