Polly had at last succumb<d to
Cupid's wiles and the spinster club
to which she belonged resolved to do
the proper thing in way of shower
The invitations were on green card
board, lettered in yellow. They were
so pretty that 1t was some time before
the recipient realized they were sup
posed to represent jealousy.
Each guest took dainty tea cup
and saucer, the hostess providing the
pot. All were asked to bring their
thimbles. The work provided by the
hostess was a variety Of tea towels
Then the hostess requested the bride
elect to make a cup of tea as a fare
well to the other spinsters. The maid
brought in a tray with the cups and
saucers, each cup bearing a black
cat shaped card on which the donor
name, and a sentiment were inscribed
in white ink. / forgot to say, these
cat cards were enclosed with the invi-
tations, and the cups were all sent to
the hostess the day before the shower
Every one said it was most unique
way of giving a shower.

For commencement Day.


I find that many of the schools
have commencement exercises very
late in June and have so many re-
quests from teachers of small district
schools who are remote from large
towns and yet are more than anxious
to have creditable closing days. This
little scheme is very pretty and not
difficult to work out. 1t is called
"Chfldhood's Happy Year. Select
four girls about the same age and
size to form each season" Make
the costumes from crepe paper and rep

wreaths Of green about the head;
summer" with white frocks and
crowns and roses, either real or arti-
fetal, and gowns trimmed with gar
lands of small roses; Autumn"
should have brown dresses with fall
leaves in red and brown tints, and
Winter all white with holly wreaths
and mistletoe, or red dresses trim
med in cotton.
Spring" should enter first and
march to the front of platform and
sing the first verse of the following
song, which is easy to- sing to the
tune of Swinging Meath the Old Ap-
pie Tree" At the end of the lines,
two Of the girls turn to the right and
two to the left and march down the
sides joining at the back in line.

follow, group at time sing their
verse and march as did Spring and
take their places at the back behind

join hands, forming circle, and sing
the chorus through and march off in
single file, Spring" leading. 1t is
really very effective

AMENDMENT TO
CONSTITUTION
SECRETARY OF STATE PRO-
CLAIMS ADOPTION OF DIRECT
ELECTIONS AMENDMENT.
TO Postpone AUGUST PRIMARY
Constitutional Lawyers Contend That
If Vacancy In Senate Occurs Gov
ernor Has No Power To Fill.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort, Ky.-Aside from the
osoad national aspect of the direct
elections amendment to the constitu-
ton, proclaimed by Secretary Bryan,
the reform has dual local bearing on
Kentucky politics. Not only will its
adoption as part of the constitution
postpone the projected Kentucky SEN
atorial primary from August, 1913, to
August, 1914, but should a senatorial
vacancy occur between the date of
proclamation and the next session of
the legislature, an extra session would
have to be called before the vacancy
could be filed. If, after Saturday next,
and before the legislative session in
January, there should be vacancy in
Kentucky's senatorial representation,
Gov. McCreary could not make an ap-
pointment out of hand to fill that va
cancy, according to constitutional law
yers here. He would have to summon
the legislature in extra session and
ask for that power of appointment.
1t would be the choice of the legisla-
ture either to give him that power or
to permit the senatorial vacancy to
exist until the subsequent general cleo
ton day in the following November.
This is the contention of members of
congress now in Washington who have
studied the effects of the new amend
ment. They declare that it lodges the
power to select senators in the hands
of the people alone, and takes APP
pointive power in filling senatorial va
cancies out of the hands of governors,
unless specifically granted them by the
legislature.

Individual Rights Are Supreme.
In line with previous declarations
that the Kentucky local option laws
are not sumptuary nor intended to in
terfere with personal habits or indi-
vidual rights, the court of appeals, the
whole court sitting, declared that the
Frost law, of 1912, prohibiting the pro-
curement or purchase of liquor for an
other in county, district, town or city
in which the sale of liquor is prohibit
ed, does not extend to the point of pre-
venting one person, as an accommo-
dation and without compensation, buy
ing liquor for another where the sale
is lawful, and conveying it for delivery
into dry" territory. The decision was
rendered in the case of Tom Calhoun
against the Commonwealth, in which
the Washington circuit court was re-
versed. Calhoun went to Rardstown
and bought liquor for another Wash
ington county citizen as an accommo-
dalton and took the liquor back to
the person in Washington county. He
was indicted and convicted under the
Frost act and appealed
