THE BAL MASQUE
 TODAY'S CHIEF EVENT

The pre-Lenten season will end with the masquerade ball at the Southern club. which is to be largely attended and promises to be one of the most enjoyable affairs of the year.
 It Is to be quite informal, accord ing to precedent established for this late winter function, but the dancers will all be masked, the majority veal ing some adaptation of the Pierrot cos tune. either appearng as Pie.rette Pierrot or Harlequin. There are to be many attractive costumes. the club request that simplicity be kept in mind as regards the accepted disguise hay ing met with favor and the a;reater number of the dancers choosing mex pensive materials which have been fashioned into the most fetching Of masquerades
 The leader for the grand march will have as his companion one of the most charming and popular young women in society, but her identity is still se cret. and is to be known not before the unmasking if she has her way. It is supposed that with the striking sim tlarity of the costumes to be worn the bal masque this year will be especial ly mystifying. Anyway. everyona IS eN- pecting a royal time.

The Art of the Fut1lrist, and By the

Flag as the on the top ot the Press club waves defiantly. Oh yes We could have a number of wonderful war pictures made in Birmingham indeed could.
 We might even go so far as to intro duce the strategy of the enemy: spies hidden in huge drains as water leaks are unearthed and groups of men are seen down under the ground, digging and peg ging away at repairing them; these might be described The Forty Thieves were in the Arabian Nights, who were secreted in oil jars and wheeled into Gassims garden. Snapshots of he- roic women. might be glimpsed here and there pouring burning oil as did Cassims slave, Morgiona, into these same jars like drain pipes. thus silencing forever a dangerous and desperate fee.
 Or if comedy is preferred these drains might be the scene of some really funny sketches or within the hospital zones there could be found some impression istic glimpses entitled: "An Attempt to Dynamite a Red Cross Hospital, with St. Vincent's as the scenario, and few hars of music from martial songs might be introduced such as .Tenting Tonight" Tramp, Tramp.

Patrick Henry's Oration

Where did Patrick Henry deliver the oration in which he said, Give me liberty or give me death? I have an impression that it was at convention held in Will liamsburg Va. My wife says she has seen the spot on which he stood in St. Johns church, Virginia. It seems so un1 likely to me that a political convention should be held in church, especially as the name would seem to indicate. an Episcopal or Roman Catholic church, that I doubt her version of the story We are not likely to quarrel upon this point, but we have agreed to postpone the matri- monial debate until We hear from the Corner HOWARD D."
 The memorable words were uttered by Patrick Henry in the Virginia conven- tion, held in March, 17a5. in St. Johns church, Richmond, Va. A tablet com menorating the fact is in the wall of the old church opposite the pew in which he stood while making the immortal speech.

Muir Woods
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader
 California numbers among it's many show places a redwood forest known as Muir woods, in honor of John Muir, who died recently The place is a national park, owned by the United States gov ernment. Credit for this circumstance was ascribed to the late naturalist in many of the accounts of his life and death. Y This, it seems, is a mistake. As ad- mirers of his have made plain in letters to newspapers, the man who bought the forest and presented it to the government in 1908 was MT William Kent of Kent field, Cal, former Chicagoan, banker dealer in lands and live stock, civic work CT and at present member of the national House of Representatives for the Second district of California. Theodore .Roose- welt, then President is said to have urged that the tract be called Kent park, while the donor insisted on the present title declining to 'stencil his name on ben efaction." It is asserted further that ex- cept for the timely act of MT. Kent the forest would have been cleared away by a public utility corporation and probably not one of the giant trees in it would now be standing.

Ventilation

From the New Britain Herald.
 The state board of health Is endeav- bring to impress upon the people the importance of fresh air, pure food and ventilation of steam and trolley cars. Just how the latter is to De accom- I.lished is not explained and the board frankly admits that no satisfactory sys- tenn has yet been devised for ventilation of cars, but thinks that more extensive use of the ventilators would produce good results.
 There does not appear to be any reason why veAtilators cannot be used to remove foul air from car and the same sys- tenn operated in, perhaps. little differ ent way would permit of more thorough and satisfactory ventilation. A smoking car on a steam train is an abominatioa to all except those who smoke. The car is often filled with smoke so as to prevent a view from one end to the other. The air is suffocating and with the smoke added the place becomes a most distress ing one for ordinary people.
 As there is nothing to prevent establish ing the conditions desired by the state board of health except a system of venti- lation it would seem as if the inventive genius of Connecticut would quickly re- sEond to the demands of the hour. Venti- lation has been provided in all kinds of buildings and it would appear as if it is only a step from that to ventilating a railroad car especially as health requires it.

A wedding in the early morning is always d charming thing and so thought , all of the friends who gathered yes terday in the candle-lighted church to hear the vows which united in mar riage Miss Minnie V. Jones, the daugh- ter of Mr and Mrs. Merry s. Jones, and MT. Robert Patton McDavid, Jr. The nuptial party had motored in from Roe buck Springs. where both the bride and bridegroom's families lived. and the frosty air had given q glow to the pretty brides cheeks and added sparkle to her eyes so she was more lovely than her friends had ever seen her.
 The wedding service continued the un- affected and beautifully simple pre-nup- tial arrangements of this delightful young couple They had declined all social af- fairs planned to precede the vows, and the quiet wedding, solemnized at eight was followed by no entertainment and participated in by but a small group
 Prof Fred L. Grambs gave an attrae- tive programme of nuptial music as the friends gathered in the church, and. at the appointed hour merged the final tones of some tuneful selection into the noble measures of the wedding march. And the assembled company. filling the church, saw the two ushers. MT sydney Smith and Mir. Theo Nelson, enter and knew that the bride had arrived.
 Mrs Macin Smith Virginia McDavld), the bridegroom's sister. was Miss Jones only attendant. Gowned exquisitely in brown. the accordeon pleated ruffles of her frock suited the type of her beauty, which delightfully suggested the ante bellum gentlewoman. She wore a chic spring bonnet topped with a wired bow Her large bouquet of ionquils had, too. something of the freshness and per fume of spring in their glowing petals
 MT. McDavid entered with his brother, Mir. Joseph McDavid, attending him as best man. and met his bride with her father, as they approached from the long aisle. She is a slender, brunette beauty whom a modern artist would sert is at her best in tailored costumes. She wore a tailleur at her wedding that was the acme of smartness and be- comingness-darl blue cloth with which she had donned a charming little chapeau of the new sand-coor and developed in tulle and flowers Her corsage bouquet was fashioned of pink Killarney roses and lilies of the valley The nuptial service was pronounced by the Rev. Mid dleton Barnwell, and the fashionable throng who had gathered to hear the vows fingered for a bit of chat together before leaving the church, quite in the informal way that would have prevailed had it been a home wedding.
 So it was unusual and lovely service MT. and Mrs McDavid have gone to New York and other eastern cities on their honeymoon and at its conclusion will be at home in their own picturesque

The Forest of Arden

Where was the forest of Arden? My chum says Shakespeare meant when he wrote As You Like It the forest of Ardennes in France. l have read some where that he laid the scene of the play in Robin Hoods haunts and named the forest for one Arden who was his neigh bor and friend. What Is the truth?
 GERALD K
 The best Shakesperean scholars agree that the forest was in England in War wfckshire, or other regions Tn English midland counties. The resemblance of name may have been accidental I have heard something of the episode of the Arden acquaintanceship in the early life of the great bard, but I am not suffi- ciently sure of the authenticity of the tale to hazard an opinion upon this head The tale may be better known to read

Invitations to Men Friends

"1s it correct for woman to invite a man friend, even an old acquaintance. who lives out of the city, to come and visit her and remain at her house rather than go to hotel? Is it any more proper If the girl is engaged to the man? If so, do the parents extend the invitation or does the girl? Tn making up party, would it be forward for girl to extend an invitation to her chums employer, if she has only seen and talked to him three or four times while visiting this girl friend during working hours at hIs office? Especially so, as the employer is 15 years older than any of the crowd or myself?
 "W. B. P.''
 In either case the invitation should come from the parents of the young girl whom the man is visiting. 1t would be unconventional-not to say indecorous- for her to intimate that ne mignt put up under her roof for the night The employer in question would consider the invitation singular. and probably pre- sumptous. His age has nothing to do with the question, unless he has made some advances toward improvement of the slight acduaintanceship which are not usual in the circumstances.

Value of Walnut Wood

 Furniture manufacturers are invited to tell you in the Corner if the fact that black walnut is less fashionable in their business than it was 30 or 40 years ago has lessened the value of the wood am inclined to think that it has, but there may be other uses for it that keep up the price. Referred.

Making oilk Quilts.

would like to tell NJ. NJ. that have had some experience in the silk quilt business. and l put the pieces together just any shape. so they will fit down smooth. l piece them on cloth. I use flour sacks, but almost any old cloth would do. I took four light thin pieces of wood and wrapped with strips of cloth and made frame as large as l wanted the quilt square and hung it from the ceiling, the same as would any other quilt. I begin in the center of the square and work to the edges, using any and all shapes and colors. trimming some pieces when 1t is necessary to make them fit. The only thing look out for is. try not to let pieces touch that are the same color and keep pieces sorted so as to use some of every color in all the squares You do not know how easy It is to use all the brightest scraps in the first squares and the first thing you know you have nothing but dark. uninteresting shades to work with. Then ordered what is called waste silk to work the seams. and again be careful about using all the best colors first. This waste silk can be had in two ounce packages for 90 cents. Almost any standard house handles it.
