More fortunate than the Parisienne,
who is not allowed to wear evening
gowns since the French Government
has put a ban on them, the women OF
New York have had countless occa-
sions to revel in evening gowns this
season Aside from the opera ana
theatres, there have been balls and
dances without number, many of them
given in the name of charity.
The glitter of gold and the bright
ness of silver in the rich tissue cloths
and metallic laces have been very con
spicuous at evening gatherings. Spark
ling sequins and gorgeous brocaded
silks have also added to the general
effect of splendor which the ballroom
Of today presents.
It is interesting to note the diversl-
tv of styles, color and materials seen.
Diaphanous tulles, nets and chiffons,
lustrous chiffon velvets and supple
satin and silks are accorded equal

Ouakers Owned Land.

Thos. M. Workman, in LaurensVllle
Herald.
When John Hunter, Thomas Mads-
worth and Jonathan Downs were ap-
pointed to buy lot for court house
in 1885, they bought four acres, IN
Guiding the present lot. A little later
the legislature limited the amount
that any county could own for a court
house lot to two acres. The Western
half of the court house lot was then
sold, leaving the present t"o-acre
lot for the court house.
Of the portion sold, Thomas Wads-
worth bought half acre lot on the
north side of the street running from
the court house to the jail. He died
however in 1900, and in 1901 Berry
Cudworth and William Turpin, his
executors, sold this lot with other
lands to a committee of the Bush Riv.
er Quaker, of Newberry, 8. G.
For some reason the Quakers or
dered their lands sold in 1907, and
consequently this lot vas sold to
Thomas Levers, probably the only
lot in the town Of Laurens, ever own
ed by the Quakers.

Frederick VIII, With Ambassador on
Board, Held up Under Exam
inatiOn.

Halifax. Feb. 16.-The Scandina-
vian-American liner Frederick VIII
from New York with Count Won Bern
storff, the former German ambassador
to the United States, and his party OF
German consular officials homeward
bound on board, anchored in HalifaA
harbor tonight. Powerful search
lights were placed on her from bath
sides of the harbor as she steamed
slowly to anchorage conveyed by g
swarm of naval patrol boats. No one
not having Official business on board
was allowed to approach the steamer.
Searchlights illuminated the adjacent
waters and naval launches we're de-
tailed to keep active patrols in the
vicinity of the anchorage while the
liner is in port for examination.
All arrangements for protecting the
ambassador and his party and for ex~
,pediting the customary examination
of the cargo weer taken over by Brit
ish naval authorities.
Interpreters came from Ottawa and
Toronto to assist in examining pas
sengers, scrutinizing passports and
carrying out the examination usually
performed at Kirkwall.
The Frederick VIII arrived off the
harbor this morning, but by prear-
rangement did not enter until tonight.

This viii be Worth Seeing.

Two notable contributions to 1T
erature we're "iG lis Steps and The
Cruci6xion of Philip Strong" by the
Reverend Charles M. Sheldon, which
created a profound impression at the
time of their publication. With these
two great stories as basis, photo
play has been produced called The
Martyrdom of Phillip Strong featur-
ing Robert .Conness and Mabel Trun-
neIle. 1t is the Paramount picture
at the opera house Monday.
Philip Strong is the pastor OF q
wealthy congregation and is content
with preaching clever sermons to his
flock until Brother Man, symbolizing
the Spirit of Christ on Earth, points
out to him the fact that his whole
life is a lie He is not living in the
spirit of Him whose Word he 1s
preaching and his thoughts are Of the
world. Under the guidance of Spirit
of Man, Philip Strong visits the slums
aud sees sights of misery and suffer
ing which he had never even known
to exist. Awakening to the utter
sham of his own life, Strong dedicates
himself to the alleviation Of the suf-
fering of the poor and the ignorant.
But he has reckoned without his
wife and her very worldly mother.
When Strong brings home poor lit
tie child of the slums so that he may
take personal care of her, his wife
refuses to permit their daughter to
associate with the stranger and pro-
tests violently against even admitting
her to the house. Goaded on by her
mother, Mrs. Strong finally leaves the
home and her husband gradually
spends all his time in the slums.
Strong's activities against the un-
derworld forces soon bring him into
personal contact with some of his
own parishioners who own the prop
erty on which saloons and other un-
desirable places are located. Failing
to dissuade him from his crusade
against them, they resort to violence
and this fact awakens the latent bet
ter self in Mrs. Strong who repentS
of her action. But it is too late for
the great soul of the man was stron-
ger than his body, which has collap-
sed under the frightful strain to which
it has been subjected.
