Several otb->r women took part ia this also. Mrs. W. fi. King read a paper on the Homo Mis sion Schools." Mrs. O. L. Martin and Mr?. Milford concluded. the pro gram.hy retorting the associational MAKING SA ii A H M'CHA i _ Many people imagine that house hullding and bonn1 making is one and tho same thing hut it is vastly differ ont. Men build the house, but women make the home, and all women ure not home makers, some earn live in o house for year?;, surrounded by every beauty, and luxury and yet tho at mosphere of lionm is missing, the cold formality of weal Hi and elegance, may be there, but not that essence of true lifo, that makes tho home the heart of the world. O' .ern have that blessed talent of tm.ting tiie plain est cottage, Into the most charming of homes, where the very air is in stinct with home lifo, and you feel, as you enter the hospitable door, "tito happy life within." In country life particularly, where KO much time is spent in the homes, more time and thought ought to be given to the house, not just four walls, and n roof that shelters you, but home, one of the best loved words In the lan guage of the earth. Now ls the time for us who are not so fortunato as to be able to take a vacation, to try and make our homes as cool, pleasant and inviting as pos sible. Make everything as different from thc wihter months as lt can be mado. First banish every carnrft and heavy rug, have' bare floors, with matting, ot grass rugs, take nil long curtains down, they only keep out tho uir, have, short ones, covering only tile upped, sash, plain crisco white, or a bordered thin fabric, tim color In the border to match your rugs. Put away small tables, and all HF less furniture, clear your mantel nieces of dust gath ering articles, leaving only a vase or two. . If you i have upholstered fur niture, cover with some simple wash able stuff, slip covers, they are called. Move everything in the rooms, change them completely, muko more space, let everything look cool and airy. When it ia all done, you viii I : en chanted with..the result, und feel more than re->ald for your trouble. The coat will bt- Blight matting rugs and curtain material, are very reason able In price,,, and when you see your charmingly cpo?, 'restful, and refresh ingly changed home, (and hear the pleased, exclamations of your family, you will feel that you are a genuine home maker in one sense of tho word, at least. Fashions of the Day. One of the great French "fashion artists" on strip to this country, was asked what.he thought of American women, he shrugged expressive shoulders, waved his hands sadly, and said "it made him to weep" when ur ged to explain, he exclaimed "they wore all of a sameness." A remark that is more true than pleasant. Look at the girls that yon pass, each ono a replica of the other, 'all of a sameness" indeed. Women, In dress' havo individuality, they wear what happens to be the style, regard less, or rather, blind to tho fact, that it ls most unbecoming to them. It is quite right to keep within the fashion of tho day, because an out-of date woman can he as freakish as ono too much up to date. There ia no.prettier sight than a group of fresh, dainty, happy girls, thL? stylos seem particularly suitable for young girls this year, if they aro followed correctly, and not In an ex aggerated form. Too much face powder too high heels and too low cut necks arc not good rorm, particularly on tho street. The open neck is so ; comfortable in summer, that all should wear lt who could, but an. open neck, and a waist with half the front ..-,-!-L. meeting that waa recontly held at Barker's Creek. The Southern Division of tho W. M. S. or the First Baptist church met last Monday afternoon with Mrs. W. O. Watson and Mrs. Minnie Milford at their beautiful suburban home. After a short dovotional, the leader being assisted by several of the mem bers, a most delightful social hour waa spent. Bach member had pre pared one kind Of lunch so there would be a rarlety, and such a deli cious menu was had. It was the most ideal picnic. Mrs. Milford provided so many unexpected "extras" that all felt Indebted to ber for the pleasant afternoon. During these oxtremoly warm months, meetings of this kind not only keep Interest alive, but arc really Inspiring and helpful. In this way we learn to know each other better and it ls very Informal and auch a nice way to exchange "recipe?". Then we will ol be ready to begin our Tall work-and our new po>b-.r will find ready and willing helpers.-Con-, tributed y.v Y, W. A. P?enle. Tho girls of the. First Baptist Church Y. W. A. had a delightful p?c nico tho park at North Anderson on last Thursday afternoon. Tho girls always enjoy getting together In thean social gatherings. A bountiful lunch wu.s served. At W 4d >apUnt.

There are BO many lovely thing" li ?liens materials now, and so nuxlcr ately priced, that if a girl ls clever with her lingers, she can have ;i num ber of pretty dresses nt very little coBt. Avoid loud colors, do not over load with cheap lace, and muk . simp ly. The one pleco house .dress for morning wear ls comfortable, sensi ble, and becoming, the Up to d:ite girl ought to have several; never wear old llnery or out of date wrappers'at home. Don't put all your money in one pair of shoos, or slippers, that is poor economy, get Oxfords for morn ing wear and walking, pumps tor afternoon and evening, it will pay you to have three pains always on hand, it rests your feet and saves shoes to change your foot wear frequently. All white is charniwig for thc after noon, but it must be exquisitely fresh and spotless. Tub skirts of corduroy or pique, organdie or lawn waists with a touch of hand work on them, or a delicate edge of lace, white shoes and docking. What more can a sen tsihle girl waut? And if she only knew how sweet and attractive she was in her simple and inexpensive white dress, she would be satisfied and not yearn for silks, and the costly sum mer fabrics, so dear to tho feminine heart, and so depleting to lier purse. The Kitchen. The culinary department is one of the most neglected. As a general rule meals aro never planned ahead, it Is just "c .ok whatever is in the house," or "run to the store," and what they cook is usually the same thing over and over again. "Variety is the spice of lifo" and yet variety is seldom seen in the average kitchen. Whon vegetables are in, they live on them, boiled or fried, un til tho garden dries up. When fall comes, pork, sausage and hams aro the order of the day, and they stay thi order of the day until tho last scrap of meat is used. Yet the samo veget?blcs and meat could bo made Into dozens of appe tizing dishes, with just a little more trouble. Take tho lri3h potato, you. sec lt boiled or mashed until yon"" witary of tho sight of it. Try them this way once, and see if you don't Uko them. Wash carofully as many, as you ore to usc, leave their jackets' on, don't peel, roaat them In the t;\ten until quite done, take out., and while still warm, cut- a slice from the top of each potato, scoop out thc contents with a small spoon, being careful not to break the skin, add to the potato you havo taken out of the Bk ins, after you have rubbed it tit rough a solve, or potato ricer, a spoonful of butter, oue well beaten egg, pepper and salt, and a drop or two of milk, or cream. Beat well, it should bo as light as a feath er, fill each case, slip back in oven and brown. Another good way to boll them, slice in a pan, witli a pinch of pep per and salt, make a cover of butter and a spoonful of ..flour, put Into a pint ot hot milk, salted, stir until lt thickens, nour over the potatoes, and brown In oven. It ls surprising to soc how few kitchens have any of the modern conveniences, in thc way of cooking utensils, there ar:;, BO many email articles, of the greatest value to tbos?9 who do their own work, .not only as time savers, but making hard work so much easier. I saw ?mile a clever device for kitchen Lu one o' the magazines, which I will try and des cribe next week. It can be easily put up by anyone, and will be a de cided help to the busy housewife. Embroidery. These are the days to fur;) your attention to Christmas work, you eau take advautage of many an-otherwlse idle hour, and have a box Ulled with gifts, ready to pack ami send when f&at strenuous time conies. Then you won't have to run to the shops at the Inst minuto, and buy MIUO trash, that I ls a Joke to the one that receives it, I. and a slur on your own good taste. A yard of linen, a little good work, and. ingenuity, can , "produce a re I markabie number or useful and cap I tlvating presents, nut if you notice. JI say good work, I do not say spoil (good linen with bad work. Fmbrold j cry is an art. it cannot be carelessly and hastily done, it takos time, care and patience, If you wish to do it well ad bad embroidery ls positive ly ?.
