Mrs. Frank Brooks Pegues is
sued about three hundred invita-
tons to friends in Cheraw, Ham
let and Rockingham to a RECEIPT
ion at her home at Kollock, s. c.,
in honor of her daughter, Mrs.
Hugh May, of Charlottesville, W.
Va, and Miss Susie Ship, of S.
c., on Thursday afternoon of last
week, between the hours of six
and seven-thirty. This event had
been looked forward to with
pleasure ever since the Invita-
ions were received, for the warm
hospitality of the Pegues family
is we'll known, and despite the
rain there was a large concourse
of friends going down. On arri-
val, they we're met at the en-
trance by Mrs. W. N. Everett, of
Rockingham, ard Miss Causey,
of Charleston, who ushered them
into the spacious parlor where
Mrs. Pegues, assisted by the hon
orees, Mrs. Hugh May and Miss
Ship, and Mrs. Marlboro Pc
guese, of Greenville. Receiving
in the dining room were Mrs. H.
F. Long and Miss Callie Capel;
here Mrs. Henry Clay Wall, and
Mrs. Pollock of Cheraw, poured
coffee. Serving delicious ice
cream and cake, and white and
pink minis, we're Misses Rosa
and Jennie Parsons and Wilma
Stansill. The guests passed from
the dining room into the flower
garden, where an hour was spent
delightfully."- among the flowers
and mingIing with friends. The
house decorations were simply
beautiful, the porches, halls, in
fact the entire lower floor of the
home was a bower of laurels,
honey-suckles, daisies, roses and
all the spring flowers. On the
porches were stately potted
plants. This event, easily one Of
the most delightful OF the season,
was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who were fortunate enough to
attend.

made his reputation upon his one
successful opera, al Paghacci,
which has become one OF the regu-

is typical of the modern Italian
school. Oscar Hammerstein brought
many new and worthy musicians be-

No movement has been under

.MERCIFUL, GENTLE
AND TENDER. "

A gentleman is full of con-
sideration for others, a foe to
violence of opinion or expression;
an enemy at the same time OF
restraint, suspicion, gloom and
resentment. He is mercitui
gentle and tender; avoids unsea-
sonable illusions or topics;
never makes himself prominent
in conversation and suppresses
his own egotism. He makes
light of the favors which he does
and seems to receive while he
confers. He is scrupulous IN
imputing motives, is never
mean or little, never takes unfair
advantage and never mistakes
personalities or abuse for argu-
ment.-Cardinal Newman.

WAY TO SPOIL

with ali sorts of chances for
disputations among friends. Far
be it from us to discourage
argument. Often it is the life
of conversation, but almost as
often the death of it. Perhaps
Lord Henry in Dorian Grey"
was a bit extreme when he said
that only impossible people
argue. But it is certainly true
that many people argue impos-
sibly.
One thing is to be borne in
mind. 1t is much more impor-
tant to keep a friends friend
ship than to argue with him. He
may remain benighted, but after
all the friendship of even a be-
nighted soul-that is, one who
disagrees-may be worth hav-
ing. If his mind is set, arguing
isn't going to change him. In
that case it may be better to
show the quality Of tolerance
rather than that of a stern de-
batter.
There are fitting times for all
things. Debate is expected in
public assemblies. in directors
meetings, yes and in newspapers.
1t is perfectly proper in private
conversation, but only under
limitations. There are other
Kings that come first. One of
the reasons Queen Victoria
found it difficult to get along
with Mr.. Gladstone was that, as
she said, he always addressed
her as if she were a public meet

1T WILL COME TO PASS

Being moved by the spirit of
truth, these words came unto
the Waterman:
In those days it came to pass
that when all of the people were
troubled and sorely grieved by
the burdens of wars which had
made many nations desolate and
the inhabitants thereof to
mourn, that the people cried un-
to the rulers with loud voice and
said unto them: Give us the
treaty of peace and the league
OF nations, lest we all perish by
the hands of the heather and the
Bolshevics," but when they had
heard the cries of the people,
Cabot Lodge, political pharisee.
and the chief ruler in the Sem
ategogue with his disciples
Borah, Reed, Penrose and one
Hiram, whose surname was
Johnson, stood up in the midst
TO the congregation and Knocked
the people saying: "Ye ask for
peace, but We shall have no
peace; We ask for fair prices, and
we WY, give yea the srofiteer
and high cost of living, and in
30 saying, they fulfilled the
scripture which saith. when the
wicked rule the people are made
TO mourn"
And after many days hence
it shall come to pass that Cabot
Lodge, with Borah and his 9TH
er Disciples will come out unto
the people to beguile them with
honeyful words, and say unto
them: 10, the election cometh
on and we pray thee that thou
