GOOD TASTE.
By George Fitch. ,

Good taste IS mysterious something which, when added to S3i.5O worth of clothes, makes a woman beautifully dressed, while SI.S76 worth of duds minus good taste is making another woman look like portable scarecrow. Good taste is caused by a sen sitivc eye, which is easily pained by .jarring culors and designs in clothes. wall paper and office buildings. To soothc his eye, a man with good taste will some times spend two hours in picking out a nerktie which will harmon- izc with his aura. When a man
 has this much good taste he ought to take something for it. Good taste is closely related to fashions, but, like most relatives, the two have little to do with each other. The woman who follows the fashions closely will some times get several thousand miles away from good taste and will
 forget the way back.
 Good taste has. .nothing to do with eating. A man can have good taste without possessing a tongue. However, he will some- times have difficulty in advertise fp ot Enn2 fDcfn dicate a wOman's refinement and prosperity without compelling her to put diamonds in her ears, and good taste makes man depend more upon clean linen for good looks than upon shouting vests.
 Incredible amounts of good taste can often be found in a home which was furnished at small cost. On the other hand, many new-laid millionaire un- loads ship load of imported crockery and furniture into a 40- acre mansion and discovers af- terward that he has crowded all tha good taste out of the house.
 It is sometimes difficult to tell just what is good taste. In this case the objection in question should be allowed to sit around for 50 years. If it still looks good it is probably in good taste. When a house OF a chair or a gown or a staircase can be admired long after their particular style has gone into history, they are safe
 investment for the person who is more interested in taste than nov city.

COURTESY.
By George Matthew Adams.)

By George Matthe" Auams.'
 To some Courtesy may seem Lost Art, little worth bringing back. But it is not. Courtesy is one of the Old Line Arts that dies only with the Man or the Business. For the rise of many Man and Business has started with it.
 Take time tu be Courteous. Emerson once wrote: "GiNr a iIoy address and accomplishments, and you give him the mastery of Palaces and Fortunes wherever he gocs.' Courtesy is of more value to a man than a thousand letters of written recommenda- tiOnS. Courtesy is an asset of more power than Money or 1n- tluencc.
 Take time to be Courteous. A few years ago. a young man by the name of Wallace stood be- hind d railroad office window in l Oil City, Pennsylvania. as a Tick ct Agent. But he didn't stay there ALI. the time. When he saw a chance to render a Courteous fa- iNur by delivering tickets direct to d customer. he delivered the tirk- cts. Also. he sought out new ways of giving service. Business hi ,I r fnI him. Then bigger one. Today, still a young man, he is General Passenger Agent for the entire Erie Railroad. He may be it's President some day. All through Courtesy.
 Take time to be Courteous.
 Courtesy lightcns the burdens of toll. Courtesy demands re- spect. Courtesy is a little broth- CT to Opportunity and follows her around through the busy hours of the day. Courtesy always lcadsa man higher up.
 Take time to be Courteous.
 The Courteous Office Boy, the Courteous Clerk, the Courteous Stenographer. the Courteous Manager, the Courteous Leader at big tasks---whocver heard of such a one not growing, not climbing into bigger things? Think over these things. For it is tremcn- dously worth while to-
 Take time to be Courteous.

Democratic Hostesses Plan to

In spite of the rumored dissension

burning which has preceded the break

morrow in honor of Mrs. Wilson and
the women of the Cabinet, that affair
seems likely TO be a great success. &C
cording to general prediction today.
Three hundred and fifty women,
prominent in official life or in resi-
Dental circles or both. will be seated
at the thirty-five tables arranged for
the breakfast. Many more women

Place cards were moved about just be-

their finer feelings positively outraged

1913 the Sumter county grand jury
has in no way minced matters, but
has come out strong in it's criticisms
of things which ought to be and which
ought not to be in it's opinion. The pre-
sentiment is rather longer than the or
dinary and numerous matters of gen.
eral interest in the county are men,
toned, and the remedies suggested in
some cases.
The presentment criticises cOndi-
tions at the convict camp, referring
to the cage as Filthy" and lament
ing the "wOeful waste Of food stuff
and the laxity in caring for property.
Conditions at j; 4 also are not as they
should be, as the previous recon-
