mamma would want you to have
any candy before supper. but II you
only eat just one piece she prob

Some time later he noticed his
niece's face and hands were sticky.

The age limit was raised by the
women in Wally Reds case but
you can see the struggle that this
really fine actor is making in get
ting plays. He's one of the hand
soonest men going, six feet tall, in
the pink Of life and condition, and
his improvement in his work has
been splendid but Wally has passed
30 and he knows as well as his d.
rectors that 80 is 80 on the silver
sheet. He can't play 81 any more.
What it amounts to Is that the ca =
reer of the stars OF the screen will
end before they develop mentally or
artistically beyond the age of fully
grown children. There are, of
course, exceptions in character work
like Chaplin, Fairbanks or Nazimova
but these are character actors and
In a class by themselves-they are

Looked on rs "Nut.-

There is nothing like this now TIL
talk is about shirt waists and
money. A man of keen artistic
aspirations and high resolve Is
looked upon as a nut" and ignored.
So he drifts away and no new man
comes up. Only the women go on.
They are developing in the arts and
fighting for a place. The stage has
many fine and promising girls in
full course of development and the
woman dramatist and writer is
much to the fore. She is young
and determined and as far as can
see she will be in the van in the
next decade for the men are not
competing any more.
Publishers tell me that the only
monthly magazines that sell to the
extent of a couple Of million copies
are women's magazines and they
pay many times the rate of other
magazines. They are frankly for
the girl. She is the mark. They
are developing her for the stage
as well as for everything else, but
IL anyone is developing young men
to take the place of our polished,
able and brilliant actors who have
passed beyond so years, they are
maintaining impenetrable mystery
in the process. The world laughed
at Greenwich Village and all 1t
stood for. but IL you looked at it
closely IL was really a protest Of
women of high IL vague aspirations
toward a life that was sordid and
hopelessly dull. The men tagged
along. They're not even doing that
in many of the professions today.

Mrs. C. E. Burts as general chair
man of the committee ON hospitality
was frequently called to the platform
and always had some message of in
terest for the delegates, one of which
was an invitation for drive over the
city. Cars were standing at the doors
every hour in the day, and the wo-
men of Columbia made us think Of
the quotation "And He shall give His
angels charge over thee, lest thou
dash thy foot against stone."
All the people were glad to get a
glimpse of DR.. Burts as he presided
over one of the evening sessions.
There were representatives present
from Connie Maxwell Orphanage,
most of the Baptist colleges and
Academies, and large number of
nurses from the Baptist hospital.
Another of the interesting occur
rences was the appearance of little
James Pruitt of Johnston on the plat
form in the arms of his nurse. He has
been in the Lucille Chapman Memo
rial bed at the Baptist hospital for
13 months. He is now believed to be
recovering from what the physicians
had never believed he could recover.
He could not move OR speak for
months and was completely paralyz-
ed, but would always smile whenever
anyone came into his presence. The
cost of this patient has been S2,-
36O.65, paid by South Carolina Sun
beams.

fluent writer. He has given a full and
minute description of the home under
the management of Mrs. Myers and
Mrs. New. There is not an editor or
a lawyer who could have given bet
ter description of everything than
"Uncle" Rufus has. Why don't he
write more?
1t has been ten years since I was
at the home and then things were in
bad shape. But there has been won
derful reformation since then. Every
thing is as clean as any home in the
land. Yes, 1 doff my hat and bow my
thanks to "Unc1e" Rufus Derrick for
this letter. 1t is just fine. And it is
all just like he has written it 1 cam
testify to every word that he has said
about the place.
Mr.. Derrick is quill driver. His
description of the Confederate Home
is the best I have seen from any
pen about the place. If you would
take his letter and go over the place
you would find it just as he has
stated, in every detail. He has given
us the real milk in the coccanut. Let
US hear from you again, "Uncle"
Rufus.

Mrs. Albert Miller Entertains
at Reception for Mrs
3. 7. Horde.

Friday afternoon in the spacious
and hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Miller at Trenton, Mrs. B. T.
Horde was the honor guest at a love-
lily reception. A cordial welcome
awaited each guest at the door,
where Mrs. George Wise gave the
hand Of greeting.
BE- ths ahall way we've q IS l2; sP; 3; 3;
Wise, and Miss Sabe Miller, the
graceful daughter Of the house.
These conducted the guests into the
parlor. where stood the receiving
line: Mrs. Albert Miller, the honor
guest, Mrs. B. T. Horde, Mrs. Emma
Horde, Mrs. Ida Crouch of Saluda,
mother of Mrs. Horde, Mrs. Lois
Matheny and Mrs. c. j. Ramage,
sisters of the bride, and others. From
here the guests went into the dining
room where sliced cream and the ia
nous Trenton cake was served, the
plates being tastefully arranged with
lace pieces and souvenirs of maiden
hair fern and pink ribbon.
The table was adorned with a
lace cover over pink and the same
color festooned from the corners.
Lovely stands filed with pink and
white nints added to the dainty ta-
BILE. Mrs. Miller is famous for her
taste as decorator and it is always
considered great good fortune to
secure her kindly assistance is CIV
ing artistic suggestions.
The Edgefeld visitors were little
late in arriving and for this reason
had the pleasure and honor of enter
ing the dining room with the honor
guests and having the opportunity
of conversation with them.
During the afternoon a delightful
musical program was enjoyed in the
music room. A number of choice Sc
lections on the violin were given by
Miss Sabe Miller, accompanied on
the piano by her sister, Mrs. P. B.
Wise.
Miss Lena Long played on the
guitar while Miss Laurie Moore ac-
companied her with some pleasing
vocol selections and with Miss Laurie
Moore's piano accompaniment Miss
Long gave other popular vocal num-
bers. Miss More gave several brilliant
piano solos.
The parlor and music rooms were
tastefully decorated in yellow chry-
santhemums, which we think were
the products of Mrs. Miller's own
skilled cultivation.
