liued autumn leaves were used
i with pleasing effect in the recep-
tion hall and a profusion of white
chrysanthemums in vases and
baskets were attractive decorations
in the parlor. A unique Japanese
corner was the center of interest,
for there the tea tables were ar-
ranged. A pretty scarf, cups and
saucers, tea-pots and a quaint little
imported tea caddy were distinc-
tively Japanese. Misses Janie
Brown and Ruth McMillan in
pretty Japanese costumes poured
tea, and Miss Rose Roach in a crim-
son silk gown of Japanese design,
stood near, and assisted in serving
the guests, as did also Misses Lois
Hutchinson, Mamie Allen,, Navis
and Vera Terry, Allie McAfee, and
Mrs. S. W. Franklin. During the
two hours crowds of callers filled
the rooms, and the incessant hum
of voices indicated that all were
enjoying thee pleasant gathering.
Miss Howren and Mrs. Roach were
assisted in receiving their guests
by Mrs. W. K. Makemson.

(Bv Albion W. Small, University of

We know perfectly well that
thousands of people are flourishing
without earning anything at all,
and other thousands earn various
fractions of what they get. Of
course, that means so much taken
indirectly from the earnings of
other people. "We refuse to admit
it, because we can't see how far the
admission might carry us. Anyone
who has the brains with him must
sooner or later discover that such a
position is a logical and moral
stultification. Our capitalistic sys-
tem is a siphon that sucks up men's
rights by a law of accelerated
motion. Simply give it time and
let it alone and it would end be-
fore very long in having every
cubic inch of land, sea and sky
bonded to a clique of financiers,
and then the terms under which
the rest of the human race might
be permitted to stay on eferth could
be dictated in the licenses granted
at their own price by the syndicate.

part. These grown-up children
were then entertained by Miss Lois
Ilutchenson's able reading of

Kiss That I Stole in the Hallway."
Fifty-two college students ate
apples and candy with the enjoy-
ment of younger days. Fifty-two
students took part in singing those
good old songs. And then twenty-
six college girls were safely escort-
ed to their homes in time to escape
the receipt of those dreaded
twenty-five demerits.
CHRISTIANITY TO BE REBORN.
TO AVOID CHRISTMAS RUSH
MAIL PACKAGES EARLY.
(From Williamson County Sun.)
In a letter of instructions just re-
ceived by the Georgetown post-
master the public are urged to mail
their Christmas packages early,
wrap them securely and address
them plainly. Patrons are advised
that parcels may bear the words
"Not to be opened until Christ-
mas" and placards to that effect
have been posted in the lobby and
other public places. "The timeli-
ness of gifts," says the letter, "de-
pends upon their being received on
or before Christmas Day. Early
mailing will insure this, whereas
the practice of mailing packages
late in the hope that they will reach
tlieir destination on Christmas day
is likely to defeat its own object
through unavoidable delay due to
the consequent congestion of the
mails." It is to be hoped that this
timely advice will be heeded, and
thus the public service be expe-
dited, at the same time that tiie
postoffice clerks are saved from an
avoidable rush of work during the
holiday season.
(Bishop George H. Kinsolving.)
The European war does not
mean the breakdown of Christian-
ity, it's the rebirth. Members of my
diocese have asked me how it is
possible for Christian nations to
fly to war like savages, to which I
have responded that there is no
such thing as a Christian state or
nation. States may contain Chris-
tians, but they do not sway the
State. If they did such wars would
not be possible. You may remem-
| ber that after the battle of "Water-
loo it is said that an officer ap-
proached the duke of Wellington
who stood looking at the rows of the
dead and asked him "Does this
mean that Christianity is dead?"
The duke is said to have replied,
"No, sir, it means that Christianity
never had a chance."
A great national calamity brings
horiie to men the fundamental need
of the Christian religion. James
A. Garfield, in addressing a throng
of frenzied men after the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln, said,
'' The Almighty God Ommnipotent
reigneth." So when men of science
and philosophers say, as they have
said of late, that thinking men no
longer concern themselves with the
questions of religion, I reply that
this war will make them think of
religion. In times of great mater-
ial growth, the men who guide the
State often forget the laws of re-
ligion and lose themselves in com-
mercial and political jealousies.
But the living God is greater than
they, and in the end His word will
prevail. ' ! ! " "
TELL 'EM YOU'RE FEELIN'
FINE.
(From Williamson County Sun.)
There &i%'t no use in kickin', friend,
if things don't come your way.
It does no good to holler 'round, and
J grumble night and day; '
The thing to do's to curb yer grief, cut
out yer little whine;
An' when they ask you how you are,
jest say "I'm feelin' fine!"
They ain't no man alive but who is
booked to get his slap;
They ain't no man that walks but what
from trouble gets his rap;
Go mingle with the bunch, old boy,
where all the bright lights shine,
An' when they ask you how you are,
jest say "I'm feelin' finel,,
If "': ^ ^K-titM1 $
Yer heart may be jest bustin' with
some real or fancied woe,
But if you smile the other folks ain't
very apt to know;
The old world laughs at heartaches,
friend, be they your own or mine;
So, when they ask you how you are,
jest say "I'm feelin' fine I"
