LETTER No. lu.

My Dearest Chum: I thank you fir your darling letter, and also, for your offer of assistance. There is only one way that you can help me, Alma that one way is by allowing me to confide in you. Do not deprive me of that privilege by offering to aid me Financially: of course know you are perfectly able to, and as you say, you wouldn't miss the small sum that would mean so much to me, but 1 dare not suggest it to Paul, and it would only be a. source Of anxiety for me to do anything like tE.as with out his knowledge.
 The little differences that arise over money vii. disturb the equilibTi- um of the happiest home-at least that is my experience-no matter how often it is necessary for me to ask Paul fer money, it never ceases to be humiliating to me. I am sure that he doesn't realize the fact, but l am equally sure that'I can not explain any more than I would trouble him with the many other little worries that l have to contend with. I was forced to confess about the bill owed the butcher, as I could not re- place the amount 1 had used, and l had no other way to account for it, when Paul asked for an explanation.

ANNUAL OUTING AND RIVER TRIP
 PLEASES CROWD
Chamber of Commerce En. tertains Many Members
 and Families.

One of the most eriovablp boat rides and picnics, and an affair which was thoroughly enjoyable because of the perfect weather and the perfect arrangements. was the annual outinp yesterday afternoon and evening of the chamber of commerce.. tbere he- | ing between 25O and BOO mon and women to participate in the pleasures of the affair.
 While the members of tho enter talnment committee of the oroaniza- tlon' have been planning for the af 1alr for several weeks past. the two score or more women of the general arrangements committee headed bv Miss Anna Can't, chairman. have nave been looking after the details, and as result the affair was carried out in the most satisfactory manner possible, and will be long remem- bered as one of the most delightful entertainments ever given it's mem bers and their families by the cham Der of commerce. Miss Can't was ably assisted in particular by Mrs. C. E. Bair. Mrs. r. B. Bloom and Mrs Mary Rowland
 Not only were tine plans for the af- fair eXcellently arranged, but they were perfectly carried out During the afternoon, scores of baskets, lad en with good things to eat, were hauled to the steamboat landing by the big motor truck of c. E. Philpot. Ilh I iotI,{ tily decorated by the ladies, and there was a committee of ladies ready to receive the basket and care for them Watermelons in great number, which had been thoroughly chilled, were placed aboard. as were other good things, and by go the members. of the outing party began to arrive.
 Promptly at o'clock the boat gave the last toots of it's whistle and pull ed into the stream, for the trip up the river to the site of the new free bridge. The young folks began dane ing early, Seibert's orchestra furnish ing the music. At the bridge, every body showed the greatest interest in the structure, especially in watching the big lift operate. The picnic ground was located just the other side of the structure. and there the boat landed the picnickers.
 There were strings of electric lights run over the grounds, through the courtesy of the Pine Bluff company, and under big tree a telephone had been installed, by the Southwestern Telephone company. Tables had been erected, and the members of the ladies committee soon had every thing in fine shape for serving the picnic luncheon, this including ice: tea and coffee, the cold watermelons and the lunches brought by the pie nickers. There was enough tc ea' for twice as many people as there were aboard, despite the healthy ap- petites of the picnickers, youns and old.
 It was a real, thoroughly enjoyable picnic in the old style. Nobody tried to make a speech, and everybody helped everybody else have a good time, having one himself at tho same time. There were dance contests for young and old, with watermelons as the prizes and these added greatly to the fun. About 8 o'clock, everybody boarded the boat again and the party started home, reaching the Tennessee street landing just at 9 o'clock, strict ly on schedule.
