1t is estimated that over 5000 young

Some were laughing and kidding one

of figures nervously. One fellow upon
seeing his number in the first returns

example of cowardice. He was hooted

RED, WHITE AND BLUE
DINNER FOR MR.. BRUMBY

Mrs. Jack Brumby surprised ner
husband on Tuesday evening with
a beautiful patriotic dinner to
which sne invited only a group of
young men who are congenial spir-
it's.
The living room was charming
with bowls of pink azalias and crab
apple blossoms bringing the atmos-
phere of spring woods indoors.
The dinner was served on a big
round table the sight of which
quickened the patriotic pulses of
the guests.
Four national flags were laid on
the table to form a cross in the
center of which stood a tall silver
vase filled with blue iris and around
this four silver bud vases holding
blue Vioets. In front of each place
was a crystal basket filled with
lilies of the valley and with alter
mating red and white and blue and
white ribbons on the handles. These
formed button-hole bouquets as ia
vors for the diners. The place cards
were adorned with the blue iris
blossoms hand-painted and attach
ed to the water glasses. There were
four silver candle sticks, holding
red candles, around the central
vases and fruit punch was served
in tall glasses topped with a cherry
sherbet
The U. S. colors were adhered to
in the menu. Strawberries formed
the first course and a red soup the
second. In the tomato aspic salad
the white rings of boiled eggs were
effective and the ice course was a
red white and blue brick ice cream
with white cake.
After dining, Mr.. Brumby and
ais guests enjoyed a period of post
prandial anecdotes while "the cares
that infest the day floated lightly
away on the soft clouds of patri-
otto Kennesaw Smokers.
Altogether it was a delightful oc-
casion and left eacn happy guest
longing for the time when he
would be in position to be sur
prised in similar way.
Mr.. Brumby's dinner guests were

EASTER vIoLETs.

This was an Easter that blossom
ed for me in yiolets in various ways.
FIRST came card from Florida with
verse expressing the longing for
nome OF native Georgian with. a
cross from which fell a shower of
dalntiest purple violets. Then a
Dig bunch of white and blue vio-
let's sent by dear little poet whose
kind and tender fancies are ex-
pressed Inc deeds oftener than in
measured words.
Then pot of growing violets to
be planted in the yard as a lasting
reminder of the kind regards of the
lovely little lady who brought it.
No plant responds to cultivation
more generously than violets and
they can be planted almost any
time.
The most thrilling of all these
Easter wolets, however, was cIus-
ter of deepest purple Californians
transplanted and blooming in a
Whitlock Avenue garden. They
came with a bunch of snow-drops
and sucn note as only can be writ
ten by the starry-eyed poet who sell
dom rhymes her thoughts but rath-
er lives witn flowers and poems as
daily companions.
This lovely lady's notes are treas
ured, as very precious mementoes of
happy hours, in sandal wood boxes.
IL you remember John Esten
Cooks wartime stories you may re-
call a certain little note in Surrey
OF Eagles Nest which cannot ex-
actly quote but he commented upon
II as being the most charming and
compensating tning lady could do
the writing of a suitable note.
Any one can accomplish a letter by
patience and perseverance but the
writing OF a note brief to the point
ranks above even verses for occa-
| sions. And the writer of that note
was a Marietta girl VINO lived on
kennesaw Avenue in the mansion
called 'Tranquilla" which was built
by General Hansell.
Remember my sisters, to plant
ylolets and learn how to write sweet
messages on postal cards.

A Bit of "oId" Canada.

There exists at UniOnville, Ontario,
pioneer house 124 years old, This
is probably a unique record for a Ca
madam log house, and it is said to be
the oldest log house of similar dimen-
sions in the Dominion. Some of the
logs are from 30 to 36 inches in diam
eter. 1t is still occupied, and it is in
teresting to note, as testimony to the
comfort of the house, that its Occu-
pants, numbering IS, took first pEiza

expected discovery. Near to an old
hut, which he had not noticed before,
well sequestered in a leafy grove, was
a young man, pale, thin and invalid
looking. He was supported by a girl
ish companion.
She was Rachel Clare, and, noting
the resemblance, Willis at once knew
/ that this must be the fugitive brother.
Rachel was supporting him as he paced
to and fro. Finally they disappeared
into the hut.
Willis arose to his feet with firmly
set lips. He had made up his mind.
The sight of that anxious, innocent
face, and Of the wan, stricken face of
her brother had appealed to all that
was noble and manly In his nature.
He sat down again, to act promptly
upon the impulse that seized him. He
removed the hateful badge Of author
ity, the star. He took out the war
rant and tore 1t in two. Then he In
dited a brief, but telling note, to Miss
Glare.
In it he bitterly accused himself of
unworthlness. he made no pretense
Of concealing his love. But he depre-
Gated the undetermined part he had
taken. He could never hope to APP
proach her again, but he could benefit
her brother thus far-to take warning
that the law was on his track and that
he had still time to flee.
He made up a package Of the star,
the warrant and the note. he turned
to retrace his way to the village. His
plan was to leave all at the home of
Rachel and straightway leave for the
city, not caring what fate might await
him there. He was tearing through
the timber, needless of marks that to
a woodsman would have warned of
peril, when a half-cut tree, blown by
the wind struck him PROSTATE.
It was In the hut where he had last
seen Rachel and her brother that Will
lis returned to consciousness. His
nurse was that self-same brother, who
moved to his side, gentle and atten-
tive, at moan from the patient.
He had been there two days, dis
covered under the tree by Sidney Glare
and his sister, and removed to the hut
the letter he had written discovered,
too, Willis learned later.
A soothing draught was administered
and when Willis awoke again Rachel
was there.
eve are going to remove you to our
home" Sidney Clare told him, and Will
lis hid his face In his pillow, feeling
his unworthiness as he recalled the
spying mission that had brought him
to Durham.
1.-THE truth has come out about my
brother" spoke Rachel brightly.

The underskirt Is almost plain, with

forgiveness, but gratitude and inter-

friendship that followed that he knew
that his love was returned.

FOREST FIRES ARE COSTLY
Cause Average Loss Of $25 100000 and
Seventy Lives Every Year In the
United States.

The direct annual fire loss in the
United States from forest fires is said
to be about $25,OOOOO0, to which must
be added an equal amount from the
destruction Of sawmills, farm build
ings, crops and stock that are burned
by fires originating in the forests.
Apart from the property loss there
is an average death list Of 20 human
lives each year. The indirect losses
through the destruction of raw mate
rial, the shutting down of sawmills and
woodworking industries, the losses in
wages through unemployment, all tend
to increase the price Of wood products,
and these losses cannot be estimated.
If city burns 1t can be rebuilt from
the Insurance; when a forest burns
everyone in any way dependent on 1t is
left empty handed.
