THE QUILTING BEES OF THE
 PAST.

s = E 2
 Social Corner Sisters: I want to say just 8 few lords about the farmer "That Talks to Farmers" AL though don't live in the country now. still have an interest in farming, and I must say his talk on Bed Quilts" was just right. Although not an old woman, I am still not young one, and when I sit and think of so man& blocks Of patch work had to piece. or so many yards of yarn measured off for me to knit each day, remem- Der that often I did not want to do 1t; but when it came 10 the Quilting Bee, and neighbors came for four and five miles to help, and grand ma baked the pies: Squash, apple and mince and fried the doughnuts, l felt well paid in my stomach, any way. A fire was built in the old fire place, and the quilters came at one o'clock and some stayed till eight or nine, and left the quilt all ready to be bound; Weren't we happy?
 There are not many old-fashioned grandmothers nowadays; and when mine went to town three times a year. great were those days, But a look in the garret and the stack of quilts, homemade blan5ets, rag car pets and stockings for us kiddies, showed how she spent, her time.
 There were no moving pictures to take up her time. She was always well. and had a ready welcome for all who came. I liked to read the farmers declaration that one who had never nestled under a patch work quilt had missed half of life This is true if they slept in an open garret and cold winds howIed and snow drifted through the shingles upon the bed, where quietly sleeping 1 under the patched work quilts laid 1 little heads in slumber deep. I wish some enc would write poem about | the Patch Work Quilt.

WALKING CLUES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Who is there at this season of the year that does not long to be out in the open air enjoying the beauties of nature? A few years ago while visiting in one of our beautiful New England villages, my hostess told me of a walking club of which she was member. There were ten members. They met every Saturday afternoon and walked for an hour and half. A leader was chosen for. each meeting whose duty 1t was to plan the walk beforehand and lead it when the af- ternoon came. They walked two by two and at the close of each ten min utes changed partners, thus giving each member a chance to walk with every other member. When the walk was ended the club was entertained at the home of the leader. There were two clubs in the village, one for those weighiug less than 15O pounds and one for those weighing 150 or more.

COURT To
CONVENE TO-DAY

When the federal court for the
Northern District of Florida convenes
this morning at ten o'clock, with
Judge w. B. Sheppard presiding, the
first docket to list a capital case in
many years will be sounded. It is
not expected that the session today
win be lengthy one, and it is prob
able that court win adjourn when the
grand jury is empaneled and the
docket sounded.
The docket for this term Is an un-
usually heavy one, and it is estimated
that the term of court may last three
weeks or more. Several important
cases are up for trial, besides the
usual number of defendants charged
with illicit distilling. Several Mann
act cases are also scheduled for trial.

stated yesterday that cargo for the

Galveston or New Orleans, the real
loading point not being clear up to

the wireless room has been sealed up

RUMANIA REPORTED TO 4
HAVE SIDED WITH ALLIES
Entente Allies Hope to Cut Off
Hungary From Germanic League
(By CAPTAIN CECIL BATTINE, Military Expert of the
London Daily Teegraph.)

London, Aug. 21.-The plan which, in the of
events rather than of high policy has been found for the
allies begins to take shape.
While the blockade by land and of the central
league continues and hard fighting in France daily
duces the numbers of the German regiments the invasion
of Austria by Russia is the big sraegca fact which
cannot be ignored by the German general staff.
The Italians threaten important Austrian possessions
and their invasion, too may eventually be position to
nfict mortal harm upon the dual monarchy The
hauston of Austria, which already is ACCOMPLISHED
fact and the evident prospect of her complete collapse
focuses the main interest in this stage of the tremendous
battle.
If Hungary be compelled to abandon the Ger
manic League the allies will have made mighty stride
toward complete success. They will not only have de-
ached the State which supplies the Austrian army with
its best troops, but they also will have deprived Ger
many of the richest for her food supply while
substantially reducing the front on which the allied
armies have to fight.
AS the Russians penetrate deeper into the kingdom
it becomes and probable that the state of
affairs will better aspect for the allies among
the Balkan States and that Turkey may be completely
isolated from her unnatural friends
As the danger becomes acute the German gen
era staff will doubt make the ercest efforts restore
their fallen fortunes. If the Russians in Galcia and
other foes encrcng Austria be kept bay until win
the Germans certain organize during the win
ter months fresh offensive prove strategic surprise
counterpart to the successive offensive against the
Russians in 1915 their unsuccessful attempts repeat
the coup against Verdun in 1916
