NEW YORK, Dec. II - N)-
Cotton futures registered losses
|of rs cents to $1.55 bale IN
moderately active dealings today.
The market was under persls-
tent pressure of commission house
profit taking and southern SELL
ing with final prices at or near
the lows of the day. Dealers noted
that hedge selling was larger than
in the previous session, while mill
buying developed mostly on the
scale down.
The reaction was also attrlhut
ed partly to technical reasons,
following the recent swift ad-
vance.
Traders awaited fresh develop
ments on the foreign aid and do
mestic control programs,
According to Washington re-
ports the Army has fficient
funds to buy 100000 bales of cot
ton for Japan and may go ahead
on this basis because Of the con-
tinued delay in arranging pri-
vate credits to cover 100000 bales

Slightly Off The Record
Dear
Wilmington, N. C.
February 9, 1917.

Dear Peggy
During the past week in Wilmington the Cape Fear Country club
was the scene Of three highly successful gatherings. On Tuesday
morning, beginning at II o'clock the weekly bridge luncheon for
sixteen tables. Luncheon was served between 1870 and 2:3o O'Clock,
with several members who could not play bridge that day arriving
just prior to that hour. On all sides favorable comments yer heard,
from those present, on how desirable and efficient the work is of
the new club hostess, Miss Hazel Knight, and of the Supervisor of
Service, Mrs. Mary Nixon Hardwicke. Miss Knight graciously grees
the members, assigns them to their respective tables, gets their names
recorded in the Club register, and looks out for their general COM
fort during the entire party. Mrs. Hardwicke performs a mammoth
task in capably seeing that correct proportions of food are placed
on the plates and that hot dishes r served piping hot while the
salad plates come straight from the icy confines of the frigidare.
Any good housekeeper will realize the importance of both these
positions and will Justify applaud these two ladies who Ire helping
make The Cape Fear Country club a verHable rendezvous of local
society. On Thursday evening n informal supper was served to
twenty-one members at five tables placed at intervals in the dining
dinner which was served at twelve prettny appointed tables in the
ballroom between the hours of z and 9 o'clock. There were spring
flowers and lighted candles O. each table and soft dinner music was
a n added feature. Among those seen dining at the club last evening
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Andrews and guests, Mr.. and Mrs F. R.
Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Irving Corbett, Mrs. Sam L. Morrow, Mr..
and Mrs. Llewelyn c. French, Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Wilcox, Mr.. and
