On Thursday afternoon of last woek, from 6 to 7 o'cl k, at "Bon homie," Miss Hattie Shelor was hostess at the flrst of a series of charming entertainments to bo given in honor of Miss Geraldine Hughs, j whose marriage to W. J. Rankin will take place on the 8th of June. As each guest arrived she was ask ed to register In the bride's book, a dainty hand-made gift of the hostess. After registering the guests were scated on the broad and comfortable veranda of the front, and soon the merry chatter of female voices filled the cool air of the afternoon with logical discussions on tho wisdom ot matrimony, and the hope of attaining lt. However, this was soon Inter rupted by the announcement that Madame Locke (Miss Marguerite Brennecke) was waiting In a dainty bower of the drawing room to whis per into'each eager ear the future of her life. A picture of the coming Fate was given to each maid, and then the fortune of tho bride-elect, with a thrill of quaintness and mys tery that foretold many happy hours for the fortunate subject. Madame Locke foretold the early coming of a messenger, and scarcely had the words passed her Ups when an ex press messenger entered with a cargo of dainty packages for the guest of honor. Upon examining them more carefully, Miss Hughs found to ber delight that they were pieces of beau tiful and useful china. Following thia happy event was a contest, In which each guest was ask ed to draw a picture of her future husband, to tell his ideal traits of character, and to write him a perfect love letter. The results for their full ness and gift of art were excellent. Miss Mary Ansel being the most deft of hand in art and letter writing was accorded a box of beautiful station ery. The hostess wore a beautiful black and white voile, while the fair hon pree 'looked charming In wisteria satin. Miss Shelor, assisted by Mrs. C. P. Walker, served a delightful salad course with lced-tea. As the shadows lengthened the guests departed, leaving many good wishes for the bride-elect, and carry ing with them the pleasant memory of an afternoon spent with a charm ing hostess. .J?

When used as a spray, lt ls made as follows: Paris green. 1 pound. Quick lime. 8 pounds. Water .125 gallons. The Hmo myst not be omitted as this will prevent the burning of the foliage. How to Prepare.-Mix the Paris green with a small quantity of water to form a paste and pour lt Into a barrel of water. Slake the limo to the consistency of whitewash and also add it to the barrel of water. Stir with a paddle and the spray ls ready. In the small family garden mix a tablespoon full of Paris green With a little water to form a past*, then add lt to a 2 Mi to 3 gallon pall full of water. Then slake a lump of stone lime about the size of a man ;, fist and also add lt to the pall of water. Stir and the spray is complete. Ap ply with a spray pump or with a whisk broom. ' Paris green may be used dry. A teaspoon full of Paris green is thor oughly mixed with one quart of dila tent or alrslaked limo, land plaster or flour, and then dusted on the plants In tho morning when the dew is on; it is dusted by means of a muslin bag or a can with holes made through the bottom. Tho Melon or Pickle Worm.-Both are prosont every season and attract attention by boring lntp the fruit of melons and cantaloupes. The pickle worm prefers tho buds, bloom and fruit of summer squash; the melon worm prefers the foliage. In the melon or cantaloupe patch there should be planted a few hills of sum mer squash. Those squash plants should bo thoroughly sprayed with arsenate of lead, two pounds to fifty gallons of water. When tho melons or cantaloupes npproach the size of a base ball they should be tightly bagged with six pound bags of a fairly heavy grade of paper. This will prevent worms that (were not killed on the summer squash to en tor tho molous and cantaloupes. Arsenate of lead ls rapidly taking the place of Paris green for uso on tender foliage. It contains less than one-half lier cent soluble arsenic, and for this roason can bo used without danger of burning tho foliage. In this Stato lt ls recommended at tho rate of two pounds to fifty gallons of water orono ounce to three gallons. A. P. Conrad!, Entomologist. Unclaimed Letters.

There ls no more important sub ject for the Southern farmer than the control of the water which falls on his lanus during tho growing sea son. There are few years that crops on some lands do not suffer nt some .time for lack of moisture, but this may bo almost entirely overcome by good farming-doep plowing, filling tho soil with humus, shallow culti vation, etc. The excess of water, however, throughout the greater part of our territory ls a more Important matter. Wet spoils occur nearly every year which ol thor lesson tho crops or entirely ruin them on a large part of Southern lands. Sur face and under-dralnago are live problems which domand the best thought and offorts of the Southern farmer. lt is estimated that New York city has 150 moving picture shows, with a seating capacity of 150,000. .-.-...,. .." ? ..

Federal Supremo Court Sets Aside Sentences of imprisonment.^ Washington, May 15. - Sotting aside tho sentences of Imprisonment imposed by the Supremo Court of the District of Columbia for alleged dis obedience to a boycott Injunction, the Supreme Court of the United States to-day held that Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, president, vice president and secre tary, respectively, of tho American Federation of Labor, bad been erro neously sentenced to jail on a chargo of contempt of a local court. Derision Unanimous. The court unanimously held that the only sentences that could be im posed upon the labor leaders were fines. In so holding, the Supreme Court of the United State? found that the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia and the Supreme Court of the District erred In treating tho contempt proceedings as a criminal case and not a civil one. The effect of holding the proceedings a civil one was to make jail sentences im possible. Hence the judicial sen tences had to be set aside. To corroct the error, the case was sent back to the local courts with di rection that it be dismissed. At the same time, the court expressly made it possible for civil proceedings to be instituted against the labor men by the Bucks Stove and Range Com pany of St. Louis, at whose instance the original contempt case v/as brought. This Ends the Case. Inasmuch as all the differences ho tween the labor men and the Bucks Stove and Range Company have boon adjudicated, including the "boycott" ! case, out of which the contempt pro ceedings arose, to-day's decision la probably the last to be heard of this widely known action. The charges of contempt against President Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison arose out of a bitter labor war be tween organized labor and the Bucks Stove and Range Company of .St. Louis. No Civil Suit. St. Louis, May 15.-The Bucks Stove and Range Company will not institute civil action against Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, according to F. D. Gardner, chairman of the board, to-day. Ho said the company and the American Federation of Labor are on friendly terms. The case was prosecuted by the American Anti-Boycott. Associa tion, of which his company ls no longer a member. Justice Wright Pursues Them.

I Ju .dio* Lamar, in hand lng down the opinion, called attention to the fact that If the lower court felt ag grieved lt could still bring criminal contempt proceedings In the prem ises and inflict a jail sentence. The lower court has been quick to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to reopen the case. As the labor dispute^ which ^brought that case Into court bad ended, lt was presumed the matter would be al lowed to drop.
