A literary program was enjoyed, chief of which was the reading of tn? "Life of Poe" by Miss Esther Cary. Several business mat ters were disposed of, after which the club adjourned. The guests were then ushered on the lawn and wero given booklets, entitled "A Study In Forestry." On the backs of these were hand painted trees, beautifully done by the hostess. On the different trees on the lawu were cards on which were questions to be answered with names of trees. The following are the questions: 1. Which tree a kissing game could play? Tulip. 2. And which its father's name could say? Pau-pau. 3. Which shall we wear to keep us warm? Fir. 4. And which do ships prefer in storm? Bay. 5. Which shows what love-lorn maidens do? Pine. 6. And in your hands which carry you? Palms. 7. Which is a girl, bright, young and sweet? Peach. 8. Which like a man, bright, dap per, iitit? Spruce. 9. What tree ls never seen alone? Pear. 10. And which one ls a bright warm tone? Cherry. 11. Which is a joke told times not few? Chestnut. 12. Which tree in calendars find you? Date. When time was called 1* was found that Miss Cary had answered the grea'?st number of questions, and she was awarded the prize, a pretty hat pin. Miss Verner then conducted the guests into the dining room, which was darkened and lighted with can dles, and a most tempting and deli cious salad course, with coffee, was served. Each guest found her place * at the table by means of a pretty place card, on which was an owl, very suggestive of the name of the club, done in water colors. The color scheme, red and white, was prettily carried out in every detail. After several moments of pleasant chat the members returned to their homes after having enjoyed a de lightful afternoon. The club members present were: Misses Lula Earle, Eloise Strother, Selina Yongue, Esther and Winona Cary, Annie Crisp, Marguerite Bren necke and Sophie Rose. Other In vited guests were: Misses Hunter, O'Neal. VanDIviere. Bertha Schu macher, Dollie Beard and Alice Strong. Best Treatment for n Burn.

I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death-like look on her race. Two or three ladles were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy (I never travel with out it), ran to the water tank, puta I double dose of the medicine in the j glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give lt to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time wo were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave tho train. I gave the bottle to tho husband to be used in case another dose should bo needed, but by tho time the train ran Into Lo Grande she was all right, and I re ceived the thanks if \ 3ry passenger In the car."
