I: Bran Mash /:

Speaking about who ought to have
the postmastership when Bill Brick
er gets ready to let go of it, we run
across a man the other day who had
new candidate. He was an enthusi-
astic baseball fan and he said that if
any man in Bedding had earned and
was entitled to be postmaster, that
man was Don MacKercher, the local
laundryman. Our friend said that
Don was a good ball player and he
guessed that entitled him to the
place and then, too, Don, had another
business which he had to look after
also and no precedent would be es-
tablished as would be the case were
we to get some man in the office who
put in his whole time there, exclu-
sively.
We know that most everybody will
be satisfied with Mr.. MacKercher in
the postoffice, because he's a good
ball player and knows absolutely
nothing about the postoffice business,
which seems to be a-prime requisite.
Also we wish to point out how Don
ME can work the laundry business
and the new govt job in together,
as follows: Move the laundry from
its present location to the basement
under the postoffice. Hire an INTEL
4 ligent man at the general delivery
window-some person who can tell
the difference between laundry pa
tient and a man looking for chance
to lick stamp and when anyone
shows up at the widow, if they ask
for laundry, pull lever which will
precipitate them through trap door
through a tube into the laundry de-
partment, where they will be sepa-
rated from their money and pushed
out the side exit. This postoffice-
laundry hyphenation would work out
wonderfully well in the saving of la
Dor in these DAYS when help is so
scarce in that the postoffice force
could do the laundry work between
mails and the laundry force could
rush up and sort and deliver mails
when needed most

CHARLES w. CAss TO RETURN

Charles w. Cass, of Palatka, who
has been in the Naval service in Eng
land, for the past four months, says
that he expects to return home some
time in November. During the world
war, he was maechanic in the navy
and saw much service. He is now To-
Gated at London and expects to sail
on the twenty-eighth of this month
for the United States. He stated that
he would probably make his return
in a tank ship, which is much slow
er travelling. On his return he will
stop at Philadelphia, where he will
be located for short time, also at
Lake Hurst where the FRI is being
built, and will do some inspection
work there. He has made Palatka his
home for several years, before his
enlistment, and has many friends
here who will learn, with much in
terest, of his return. He is the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles N. Cass.

Delightful Dance for Miss Hamm.

Delightful Dance for Miss Hamm.
One of the largest and most-en-
joyed social affairs of the week was
the delightfully."- informal dance with
which Miss Omar Davis entertained
large number of friends at the
County Club last evening. Miss Davis
was entertaining in compliment to
! Miss Priscilla Hamm. She will be
one of Miss Hamm's attendants when
she is married to Mr.. Robert L.
Wright on Wednesday of next week.
A charming effect had been achiev-
ed by the hostess in the decorations,
by means of tastefully draped Span
ish moss and coral vine, combined
with graceful branches of bamboo.
Japanese lanterns and parasols adj
ded to the festive effect.
Miss Hamm wore stunning gown
of apricot silk lace over georgette Of
the same shade. Made on exquisitely
simple lines, the frock was artfully
draped, the lace of the overskirt
hanging to form the new uneven hem
line. A touch of silver ribbon on the
gown was repeated in the silver
ribbons on the gown was repeated in
the silver slippers worn with it. A
big black feather fan completed the
charming effect. Miss Davis was
charming in her frock of peachblow
satin franAais, simply draped model
which was unusually becoming to the
wearer.
The Putnam Orchestra furnished
the music for the card dance which
made the evening pass all too quick
ly. For those of Miss Davis guests
who did not dance, card tables were
provided, these being placed in the
tea room so the players might also
watch the dancers.
During the evening, Mrs. S. j.
Hilburn and DR.. Sarah M. Davis pre-
sided over the punch bowl, which
was placed in a huge block of ice.
Whole fruits in variety, were also
frozen into the ice, providing a novel
decorative feature.
Prior to the intsrmission, spark
lers" were distributed to the dane
ers and during the one dance, the
lights were extinguished, very pref
ty effect being thus achieved. Dur
ing the intermission, ice-cream and
cake were served.
About hundred guests were pre-.
sent last evening to enjoy the hospi-
tality of Miss Davis. Among those
from out-of-town were: Miss Julia
Chase, of Jacksonville, and Messrs
Joe Cops, X. Lopez, Duncan Haiglel
and Gene Foy, of St. Augustine.
