Invitation to a Church Wedding

Dear Miss Doom:
I have been invited to a church
wedding, but am not going. Is it
necessary to send gift? I do not
know the people very well. Please
tell me If 1 must write and decline
the invitation. UNCERTAIN.
An invitation to church wedding
does not require a written reply,
but 1T is courteous to acknowledge
the fact that one has been remem-
bered; therefore, cards should be
sent to the brides parents If the
address is known, and to the newly
married pair on the day of the we'd

Killarney"

Dear Margery Doom:
Kindly publish the words Of the
beautiful Irish song, Killarney
and oblige ANXIOUS.
Killarney was In the column
some time ago, Anxious. But since
you are SO anxious" I'll squeeze it
in again.
KILLARNEY.
By Killarney's lakes and fells,
Em'rald isles and winding bays,
Mountain paths and woodland dells,
Mem'ry ever fondly strays.
Bounteous nature loves all lands,
Beauty wanders everywhere,
Footprints leaves on many strands,
But her home is surely there!
Angels fold their wingA and rest,
In that Eden Of the West,
Beauty's home, Killarney,
Ever fair Killarney.
Innisfallen's ruined shrine
May suggest a passing sigh;
But mans faith can ne'er decline
Such Gods wonders floating by;
Castle Tough and Glenabay;
Mountain Tore and Eagles Nest;
Still at Mucross you must pray
Tho the monks are now at rest.
Angels wonder not that man
WOd1o Ld1ii PiOtOD6 iiIO
span,
Beauty's home, Killarney
Ever fair Killarney.
No place else can charm the eye
With such bright and varied tints,
Ev'ry rock that you pass by,
Verdure broiders or besprints.
Virgin there the grass green grows,
Ev'ry morn springs natal day,
Bright-hued berries daft the SHOWS,
Smiling winters frown away.
Angels often pausing there,
Doubt If Eden were more fair,
Beauty's home, Killarney,
Ever fair Killarney.
Music there for echo dwells,
Makes each sound a harmony
Many voic'd the chorus swells,
Till 1t faints in ecstacy.
With the charmful tints below,
Seems the heav'n above to vie,
All rich colors that we know
Tinge the cloudwreaths in thai
sky.
Wings of angels so might shine,
CHANGING back soft light divine
Beauty's home. Killarney,
Ever fair, Killarney.

CUTTING GUIDE ssl4


A simple and excellent way to re-
move mud stains from dress skirts
Is to cut raw potato in slices and
rub 1t we'll on the marks.
Soiled dancing slippers of light
color can be successfully dyed in ink.
Either blue or black ink produces a
pretty art blue shade. Ink must be
fresh, and applied with a small pad
of cotton wool. One application is
sufficient.
If a tablecloth is beyond repair,
cut it up into various sized pieces,
hem them around, and they will be
found most useful in the kitchen.

Flowers for Bridal Attendants
Dear MargerY Doom:

Lear Margery doom;
At a home wedding which is best,
for the bridesmaids to carry bask-
cts of flowers or arm bouquets? AL
so, do the ushers wear buttonhole
bouquets7 Please give me the in
formation as soon as possible, and
oblige. BRIDE.
The maid of honor and brides
maids usually carry arm bouquets,
but there is no reason why they
should not carry baskets of flowers,
If you prefer them, particularly If
there are to be no flower girls. The
innovation would be very effective,
I think. When bridesmaids wear
shepherdess costumes they carry
long-handled baskets.
The best man and ushers u.s.
ually wear white boutonnieres. Gar
denias or carnations are appro-
pirate.

Dear MargerY D

Dear Margery Doom:
I have just made some tutti-
frutti preserves like my mother
used to make when l was at home.
I enjoy your column very much.
Let me wish you success. Here is
also my way of making cucumber
relish. MRS. IL. b. G.. G.
Tutti-Frutti Preserves
Wash four quarts of purple
plums, put in large saucepan and
cover with water; cook very slowly
until the plums have softened and
separated from the stones. Remove
from the fire and take out all
stones, add to the plums an equal
measure of brown sugar and cook
slowly until a thick preserve is
made. When nearly done put in
one pound of seeded raisins and one
pound of dried figs cut in small
pieces Stir all at frequent inter-
walls, and when done try it as you
would for jelly; put in one-half
pound of chopped pecans. Seal in
jars MRS. H. 70. q. q.

Tedious Process of Litigation Likely
in Frank Case.

Atlanta, April 1.-THE execution
of Leo NJ. Frank for the murder of
Mary Phagan, which has been set
for noon to-day, will at least be. de-
layed many months by the action of
attorneys yesterday, in the opinion
Of legal authorities here. 1t was
pointed out to-day that tedious pro-
cess of litigation, which may include
a decision by the Supreme Court of
the United States, will now be neces-
sary before the last recourse to save
the convicted factory superinten-
dents life has been exhausted.
1t was generally expected that of
the two motions filed by Franks at
torneys in Superior Court yesterday,
that asking a new trial on grounds of
newly discovered evidence would be
first pressed for action. If, after ar
guments on April 22 this motion is
denied, appeal probably will be taken
to the Supreme Court of Georgia,
which already has affirmed the lower
Court in denying new trial on pre-
viously submitted evidence.

"Brer Rabbit" on London Sage.

Of interest through the south, and
especially in Atlanta, the home of
Joel Chandler Harris, will be the fol-
lowing cable from London which de-
scribes the staging of the Uncle
Remus stories and the enthusiasm
with which the initial performance
was received.
Since the beloved 'Bluebird' re-
vealed the possibilities of modern
poetic symbolism in drama and
achieved an enormous success, we
have waited impatiently for other
playwrights to follow Maeterlinck' s
lead, and at last we were rewarded
by a play with a distinct American
flavor which approaches The Blue
Bluebird' in exquisite poetic charm.
1t is 'Brer Rabbit and Mr. Fox, which
was presented for the first time. on
any stage. at the Aldwych theater to
a delighted and astonished audience.
The fantasy is an adaptation of
Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus'
stories, which are almost as popular
here as they are in America, with a
musical setting based on negro melo-
dies, by Cecil Sharp and Martin
Shaw. 1t is distinctly a play for
'grown-ups' who want to be kiddies
again, if even for a night, and is
full Of delightful symbolism and
quaint philosophy such as makes the
Uncle Remus' stories have an ire
sistable appeal.
Uncle Remus himself acts as
chorus, interpolating explanatory re-
marks regarding the doings of the
four-footed artists. The human ele-
ment is supplied by Mr.. Man and
sweet Mis- Meadows and de gals at
tired in the crinolines and fal-lals of
the SIXTIES"

China as a Cotton Country.

That education is two:edged
sword, cutting both ways through
ignorance, Incidence, sickness, evil
and all forms of darkness, is illus
trated by the successful campaign of
education which China's white
friends waged against opium, assisted
by many of the more humane and
progressive Chinese. The plunging
of this sword into the vitals of the
opium traffic uprooted the poppy plant
from millions of acres; the drawing
out of the sword planted cotton seed
to such good purpose that in four
years China has jumped into second
place as a cotton producing nation.
For 1000 years China has been
raising cotton of a sort. But the
growth was spasmodic, the industry
was not systematized, and practical
ly all the weaving was done by hand
until a few years ago. Now, how
ever, it is different. In 1910, 1911
and 1912 China raised an annual
average of 15,6S0,O0O picues of cot
ton, or about 4,1S1,333 bales of 500
pounds per bale. The ministry of
agriculture and forestry at Peking
estimates the cotton crop of 1913 at
.5,333,444 bales. Modern cotton
mills now have a large share in the
industrial life of Shanghai and Hong
kong.
This production puts the republic
of China second only to the United
States as a cotton country, and who
knows but that "The Yellow Yam
KEGS" may surpass us some day? For
the present, however, the United
States produces from 100000 to
100000 bales per annum, compris-
ing from so to so per cent of the
worlds cotton yield.
