Miss Hortense Peak Entertained. Mrs. J. L. Mims was hostess on Saturday afternoon at a miscellane ous shower to the members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in honor of Miss Hortense Peak. At five o'clock the guests began to arrive, the officers and superin tendents of the local union being in the receiving line. On the front piazza grape juice was served by Misses Frances and Brook Jones, and every nook of the home was well filled by the appointed hour. The rosettes were the diminutive white ribbon bow, the badge of the world's organization. The programme waa a humorous parody on the Psalm of Life, read bv Mrs. M. P. Wells, and that beau tiful old love song, "Ever of Thee I Ara Fondly Dreaming," sung as a duet by Mrs. W. L. Dunovant and Mrs. George Mims. A toast to the bride was adopted from thfl original ceremony in verse, which Rev. John Lake used at the marriage of his sister Lula in Japan, read by Mrs. W. E. Lott. When this interesting programme was finisned, it was announced that, although the W. C. T. U. believed in clear and pure water, they had provided a well especially for the bride to-be, the water of which, by the hand of the "fairy in the well," had been changed into gifts of many friends. Every one was invited across the hall and into an adjoining roora, and in there was a snow-white well, and by it, little Gladys Lawton, in a most beautiful fairy dress. As the snow-white buckets were drawn up this little fairy, commis sioned by the W. C. T. tr., made each gift just what the biide-to-be most wished for, and they weic many and beautiful, and in great variety. When the fairy had presented all the gifts, she sang a beautiful solo, called "The Fairy in tho Well," in which she said that after all pure water was th" best drink that God bad given to man. When the guests had returned to the parlor, the W. C. T. U. pre sented to Miss Peak a beautiful white-ribbon how of gold, set with pearls; and to Mrs. Fannie Tomp kins and Miss Florence Mims other bows of less pretentious design were presented very happily by Mrs. W. B. Cogburn for the union. At the close of this presentation, Miss Miriam Norris sang that beau tiful selection, in which occurs this verse: "This tiny knot of ribbon, Sweet sign of inward grace, Means all that God and woman Can do for the human race. Then wear it with pride, dear women, Morning and noon and night; Glad to show wherever you go, You're standing for God and right" The decorations were golden rod and asparagus, and a banner with the word "Victory." which thehoet ess could not refrain from using in view of the great joy in the heart of all the white ribbon army over the result of the prohibition election in our fair Palmetto State. The refreshments were ice cream and cake. We are receiving new goods daily. We are going to have a larie stock this season. Most any thing you can mention. Rubenstein. Card of Thanks.

It clears the throat and gives relief from that clogged and stuffed feeling. The pines have ever been the friend of man in driv ing away colds. Moreover, the pine-honey qualities are peculiarly effective in fighting children's colds.
