Three-Minute
Journey
BY TEMPLE MANNING.

n v, Collingwood bay, on the island OF
Papua, was awakened one morn
ing by a hideous noise. which in
curry revealed was the formal
mourning OF half dozen girls over
married. This mourning continued for
three days, and then the girls dressed
the bride-elect in her best and escorted
her to her new home.
A companion and I followed the little
procession. hoping to get a glimpse Of
the bridegroom. but when we arrived at
his house. he was nowhere to be seen
the place was empty But the bridal
prise; they went right In and took pos
Eession. or course, they knew what we
didn't. that IL was etiautte for the
bridegroom TO go hunting or on any err
village.
But his relatives, however, were much
In evidence. They Joined the bridal pro-
ccssion at the brides door and hastened
hsr do her Sr., new home by al manner An, Of
ticularly to the bride herself. And when
the procession arrived at the new homo
they sang their gratitude and discreetly
withdrew with the brides relatives. and
left the bride and her girl friends to
take possession of the house and stay
there alone that night.
Early in the morning the bride would
appear. so we were told. at the door OF
her new home and acknowledge before
all IT, world her marriage to her absent
bridegroom by sweeping the ground be-
fore the hut with a cocoanut broom.
Then the poor little bride would be de-
serted by oven her girl friends and
spend the day alone in the hut.
That night the bridegroom returned
from his voluntary exile. and they had
their first dinner together alone.

Pantalettes Begin to Replace
Old Fashioned Princess Slip
Practical Foundation for
Frock or Negligee De-
veloped in Newest Modes.

NJ NOTWITHSTANDING the COM
IN parative quiet Of the pam
talette question this year,
designers keep right on MAX
ing them and women continue to buy
them. At first 1t was predicted by
those who claimed to prophesy the
trend of fashion correctly, that with
the return Of Victorian styles, the
fashioned ruffled pantalette
would be worn.
For time pantalettes Of this kind
really did appear at various dances,
showing oddly in contrast to the
frivolous styles with which they
were worn. Frankly, they were
meant to be seen.
Now the pantalette has other uses.
In its new role the pantalette does
not exactly court publicity, but be-
lieves in being attractive enough to
hold its own IL necessary. For that
reason the newest designs are trim
med, not with lace ruffles falling
over the ankle, but with smaller ruff
files Stimulating the effect Of a petit
coat on the outside line from the
knee down.
One Of the designs recently exhib-
tied combines camisole and panta-
lettes, making a garment truly prac-
tical. The material is the white
washable satin that has so rightfully
won a place for itself for fine lin
gerie.
Elastic bands at the waist and
above the ankle insure a snug fit.
Shadow lace trimming is used not
only on the ribbon run camisole, but
along the sides of the pantalettes as
well, giving the necessary contrast Of
material. Well above the ankle is a
circle of tiny chiffon roses.
It is worn with negligee OF
chiffon and thread lace, particularly
adapted to summer wear.

Three greatmeetingS preliminary to
the laying Of the cornerstone of the
new $4,000 Methodist church were
held here Sunday in the presence of
large crowds. There were separate
services, all Of which were held'at
the Union Tabernacle, the auditorium
Of the present Methodist church be-
ing entirely inadequate.
The first Of these services was a
sermon at II O'Clock by Bishop At
kins, of Waynesville, N. C. In the
afternoon, DR.. T. N Ivey, of Nash
vile, delivered an address and at
night Dr., H, NJ. DuBose, Of Nash
Vile, spoke.
Yesterday morning at II o'clock
the formal laying of the cornerstone
took place. This was in reality the
placing in the cornerstone of a metal
box containing records of interest in
connection with the building of the
new church, list of those who have
contributed to the enterprise in money
or service, etc, and the placing in its
place in front of the space occupied
by this box, a stone tablet. The con-
struction is already well advanced,
the window and door frames being in
place and the stone work being well
past the first floor.
The church will stand as a monu-
ment to the ability, energy and re-
sourcefulness Of the present pastor,
DR.. Lewis Powell.
The services began with the song
GLOW Firm a Foundation. " The
sleakers and a large part of the
crowd present were upon thetempor-
airy floors above the basement, bat as
many or more were gathered about
the church on the ground.
Bishop Jas. Atkins was the first
speaker and briefly congratulated the
congregation on its magnit cent future
house of worship. He wa followed
lby DR.. DuBose, who gave briei
sketch of the Methodism in 7erica
from the first conference in rro2 tc
