lowed by a vocal selection, “Spring
Rain,” by Mrs. Harp. Mrs. Luther
Gordon presided at the Victrola.
Delicious refreshments, consisting
of pressed chicken with pimento,
bread and butter sandwiches cut
heart shape, stuffed cherry salad,
cheese straws, potato chips, olives
and iced tea, were served by Misses
Evelyn Wilson, Maud Mangrum, Lola
and Lucile Myrick. Each plate bore
as favors corsage of sweet peas and
scrolls tied with white ribbons. As
the guests concluded reading the
“Proclamation from Dan Cupid,” an-
nouncing the approaching nuptials, a
hush of expectancy fell over the
group as the strains of Mendelssohn’s
Wedding March, played by Mrs.
Harp, pealed forth, and Miss Wilson,
lovely in an afternoon gown of rose
georgette and lace, appeared in the
doorway and took her seat in an ar-
tistically decorated chair of hearts
among the circle of her warmest
friends and was the target for much
teasing and good advice. Each guest
was given a white heart and asked to
write advice or congratulations to the
bride. This was a source of much
merriment when read aloud to the
bride-to-be. All our advice, on our
hearts, was bound together un hand-
painted covers and presented by the
hostess to the honoree to read when
far away in her new home.
The bride-to-be is the charming
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wil-
son cf this city. She is a very ac-
complished musician ' and her going
away is a distinct loss to the musical
circle of our town. She has been
reared in our midst and a host of
friends regret that she has captured
a heart which takes her away from
us, but we are sure that her pleasing
personality and genial manner will
win for her many new friends in
Stamford.
At a late hour the guests reluctant-
ly departed, indebted to our hostess
for a most pleasant afternoon.—A
Guest.

Misses Lola and Robbie Broyles,
Mrs. W. B. Layman and two children,
Laura and Katie Ruth, of the Enter-
prise community attended a family
reunion at the home pf Miss Ella

was a reunion of their mother’s

on account of illness their mother,
Mrs. R. F. Broyles, was unable to
attend.
A sad iron tried to start some sad
trouble at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
F. E. Douglas about noon Wednes-
day, but the fire department and a
whole lot of other people went to the
scene promptly and subdued the iron
jand' the fire it had kindled. There
was.no one at home; Mrs. Douglas
had gone to Sherman and in getting
away rather hurriedly she forgot to
turn off the electric iron. A neigh-
bor saw smoke isuing from the open-
ings of the house and turned in the
fire alarm, and the blaze was rapidly
gaining headway when the firemen
arrived.

Thirty little girls formed the cast
for a cantata that was presented Fri-
day evening of last week at the gram-
mar school auditorium. Mrs. Lucian
Andrews coached the juvenile play-
ers in “A Dream of Fairyland.” Mrs.
Fitz Bryant at the piano led the con-
tinuous chorus of fairy voices
through their dreamland perform-
ances. The play developed a pretty
story with a good moral; it was a de-
cided success.
Mrs. Stanley Folge was the charm-
ing hostess to a delightful afternoon
party Monday when she entertained
at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. O. W. Myrick, and in a very
unique manner announced the en-
gagement and approaching marriage
of Miss Frances Wilson and Mr. Non-
nie Phy of Stamford. .
The reception suite was artistical-
ly deccrated in ferns, and vases of
flowers filled every available nook.
The curtains were drawn and the soft
shaded lights added their touch of
beauty to the scene.
The hostess, attractive in a frock
of cream lace over peach colored
satin, was assisted in receiving by her
mother, Mrs. Myrick, Mrs. Ray Man-
ning, Mrs. J. W. Wilson and Miss
Lena Mae Gowdy. Mrs. Gilmore
Webster invited the guests into the
dining-room, where refreshing punch
was served by Miss Helen Thomas
and Mrs. Holmes Connelly of Tren-
ton. Mrs. Byron Sears then invited
the guests into the'Tiving-room where
'Miss Maud Mangrum entertained
with several piano selections while
the guests were assembling. Then
Miss Martha Bow very pleasingly
read “Romance in a Hammock,” with
piano accompaniment by Miss Man-
grum. Mrs. Annette Harp in her
lovely contralto tones sang “At
Dawning.”
The guests were then asked to join
in a “heait hunt.” Red and gold
hearts had been hidden throughout
the rooms and much excitement en-
sued in the chase for hearts. Mrs.
Mary Ryon was found to be winner
in this contest and received a beauti-
ful glove vanity .which she presented
to the bride elect, voting hei’ the win-
ner as she had found more than a
cardboard heart. The program was
resumed with “That Old Sweetheart

Pilot Grove, May 29, 1924.
Deaf Mr. Editor:
As the Pilot Grove Rod and Gun
Club is nbw making plans for its an-
nual outing, and knowing that an
editor has- not much time for recre-
ation, we are extending you an invi-
tation to be with us this year. And
be sure and bring Mayor Mack Echols
with you, as any mayor who devotes
as much time to the caie of the
streets of his town, keeping them at
all times nicely graded and dragged
smooth, is certainly entitled to a
vacation.
The place for this outing is located
10 miles west of Pilot Grove and 5
miles east of Elmont. The body of
water where, we do our fishing is sit-
uated between the H. & T. C. R. R.
and the Texas Traction Co. line, and
is bounded on the north by a lumber
yard and pump station, and on the
south by an implement house and
wagon yard.
On account of so much of their
machinery being left in this lake by
the construction crew which did the
work (water having been turned in
before they had time to remove it),
we will be compelled to do our fish-
ing with hpok and line as it would be
dangerous to try to get across in
boats. It will not be necessary to
bring any extra clothing or wraps of
any kind to protect you against the
mosquitoes, as they have a special
mosquito ordinance out there, and of
course no self-respecting insect
would dare violate an ordinance.
With kindest regards, and expect-
ing'you to be with us, I am,
Yours very truly,'
' DAVE TAYLOR.

omniscence. One of the three is a
ticket-taker in a New York theatre;
one is (l day-laborer on a farm; one
is private secretary to a corporation
president.
These three gentlement have posi-
tive views on every question, and do
not hesitate to express their contempt
for all who disagree. They have a
high sense of the importance of their
time. In their dealings with us com-
mon folks they are inclined to be
abrupt.
I admit that their cocksureness
used to irritate me. It seemed rather Thl^party “winAsit" all'the
ridiculous, as contrasted with the
self-deprecation of many of the lead-
ers of the world. But one day I hit
upon the explanation, and now no
bumptious individual irritates me any
more.
My explanation is this: God is
just. He distributes talents with im-
partial hand among the sons of men.
To big men He gives the satisfaction
of achievement; but He penalizes
them with hours of depression, intro-
spection and self-doubt.
Little men would be discouraged if
they could see themselves in their
true light. So conceit was sent into
the world—
God’s great gift to little
Bruce Barton, in The Red Book.
THE CONVERSATION ENDED
Mrs. P. R. Johnson, 66 years old,
was stricken with apoplexy Monday
of last week, producing almost com-
plete paralysis of the right side of
her body. Under careful medical at-
tention and nursing, however, she is
improving, with prospects that her
condition will return almost to nor-
mal.

It was late in the afternoon, and’
the Government offices in Washing-
ton were deserted. A dollar-a-year
man dropped into the office of a
friend who, like himself, had left his
business interests to take charge of
important operations in the war.
Both men were doing vital work;
the newspapers were constantly
printing their pictures. But now, at
the close of a hard day, they .smoked
their pipes and stared moodily out
toward Washington Monument.
Finally one of them spoke:
“I suppose what we’re doing looks
very impressive from the
he said;
Frank, I’m fussing along with
most obvious routine things.”
The other nodded. Said he:
greatest fear is that some one will
walk in some day and finde me ojit.”
Like a couple of schoolboys they
sat and laughed at themselves.
It has been interesting to me to
discover how often a first-class man
regards himself, secretly, as much
overrated. I have seen a famous
author blush like a schoolboy when
his work was praised. Emerson
sometimes came home after his lec-
tures utterly discourgaed by his sense
o’f failure. Lincoln was subject to
moods of abysmal dejection; his fav-
orite song was ■ the doleful, “Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal Be'
Frond?”
On the other hand, I know three
men—and have come into contact ,
with many more—who are utterly
free from any doubt as to their own '
