Anniversary of Historical Event
The following paper was read at
the meeting yesterday of Dickson
Chapter, u. D. c., by the chapters
historian, Mrs. r. r. Carroll:
On January 8, 1861, in the early
evening hours there doomed over the
waters of Charleston harbor the
sound of cannon firing. South Car
Dina had seeded from the Union
Dec. 20, 1860. Anderson had trans
ferred his forces to Fort Sumter and
was occupying that fort with limited
supplies and men. The government
endeavored to increase its forces and
supplies there and sent the "Star of
the West" on that errand, and on Jan.
8, 1861, she was seen steaming into
the harbor. The Citadel cadets un-
der Maj. p. F. Stevens were on Nor
ris Island with only two pieces of ar
tillery, and seeing this vessel pass
ing into the harbor and knowing her
mission kindly warned her by two
shots across the bow of the vessel
a message which was needed and the
gallant vessel changed her forward
course and took to the sea. This was
the first shot in the great drama of
war that followed and was fired by
South Carolina in her sovereignty,
the Confederacy not being formed for
some time afterward This incident
occurred just 81 years ago today,
Jan. 8, 1851.

Sunday School Class Entertained al
A Chinese Party

A Chinese Party.
In accordance with her annual GUS
tom, Mrs. E. Van Hood entertained
this afternoon at a very beautiful
party, which she gave especially in
compliment to her Sunday school
class which has a membership of
fifty ladies.
The motifs of Mrs. Hoods parties
evidence always her ingenuity to
combine the artistic with the benefi-
cial and in selecting China as the
theme for her party this year she
brought the members of her class in
closer touch with country that is
now of especial interest to them, for
this year they support a Bible wom-
an who with many others is doing
Christian teaching among the people
of that great nation.
Mrs. Hood was assisted in receiv-
ing her guests by the officers of the
class, Mrs. B. H. Seymour and Mrs.
S. A. STANDBY. The reception hall
and studio were transformed into
>Chinese rooms, the walls displaying a
variety of articles from the Orient.
The lights of the chandeliers were
endased in Chinese lanterns and the
hooks, nantes and tables were hank
ed with cherry blossoms.
In the library, which was convert
ed into veritable palm room, the en-
tertainer of the afternoon, Mrs. J. C.
Garrett, was introduced informally
to the class. Mrs. Garrett for 25
years did missionary work in China
and is gifted talker. Receiving with
her was Mrs. Bunyan Stephens. i,
In the rear of the hall, Mrs. Lew
Lyons, daughter of the hostess, and
Mrs. J. ID. Robertson poured tea as
the ladies arrived. The table was
laid with an exquisite Chinese lunch
con set and the central floral decora-
ton was a brown basket filled with
cherry bloom. On the corners of the
table were miniature orange trees
heavy with fruit, representing dwarf
orange trees which are found In ev-
cry Chinese gentleman's home. Tea
was poured from an imported gold
adorned pot.
In the studio seats had been ar
ranged for all and after the guests
had arrived, Mrs. Garrett gave a
most interesting hauf an hours talk
on the condition of women in China
from infancy, telling of their life,
dress, customs and emphasizing their
spiritual degradation. Chinese scrolls
were on the walls and Mrs. Garrett
told of their history and explained
the origin of the numerous articles
she brought to illustrate her talk.
An enjoyable musical program ar
ranged by Miss Marguerite Porter
the hostess daughter, gave addition
al pleasure. The program included
solos and trios sung by Miss Porter
