BANQUETS AMONG FLOWERS. President and Guests at Brilliant Board.-Sunken Garden Feature of Artistic Decorations. The State. :Charleston, Nov. 5.-The Taft din ner tonight at the Charleston hotel was probably the most elaborate and splendidly gotten up affair that has been given in Charleston, surpassing the many big dinners of the past, hieh is saying much. The dinner as served in the big dining hall ose walls were tastefully draped ih national flags and festooned with unning greens. The sideboards were rich in their polished mirrors and bright glassware, showing to ad vantage the beautifully frescoed ceil ing of the hall. The place was bril liantly lighted. It was, however, the table arrange ments whtise artistic decorations won the admiration of the banqueters as they entered the hall to the strains of music by an orchestra. The ta bles were arra.nged somewha;t in the form of the lines of an inverted urn or perhaps it may be called a sort of "V'' shape. In the hollow square was a lovely sunken garden creation. A tiny fountain sent forth a fine spray, falling over several colored globes, while in the top glass could be seen small fish swimming about. The spray added a richness to the green foliage, further heightened by the small incandescent lamps skirting the bottom of the fountain and about were the fine palms and ferns, soften ing the effect of the electrical dis play. Roses ani Palms. The corners of the room were adorned with beautiful palms and the odor of the handsome roses mingled with white and pink carnations on the table were added evidence of the garden effect to all entering the din ing hall. The table arrangement provided for the banqueters, to face the dis tingiished guest of the evening. He bad a position in the centre of what might be called the base of the urn, overlooking the garden. Covers were laid for about 200 diners. An exeellent card system of sitting the banqueters was observed. In accor dance with the expressed wish of the president,,Chairman Lapham arrang ed his plans to have the dinner comn .paratively short of duration and the -speech of the president with the brief introductory of Mayor Rhett was the only oratory. The menu was arrang ed with a view of excellence in qual-1 *ity rather than any protraction of the dinner by too many dishes. The 2nenu was served in fine style and in-* eluded: 'eu Blue Points.

H.is -re marks were filled w'.th local allusions. He reminded the banqueters that this was his sixth visit to Charleston and that in coming- here his reception was not simply that of another hospitable Southern city, but that this was l.ike .coming home, where he already had friends who knew him and whom ne knew. He repeated his belief that Charleston is the best of all ports from which to embark for Panama, revived entertainingly his experien ees on his present tour of the coun try. and paid a high tribute to Con-* gressman Legare of this city. In closing, Mr. Taft said: "I repeat that in -coming to Char' leston I have felt that i was corring' home. and not simply to another of the d?elightful cities of the South with its magnificent traditions, with i'tis enormous possibilities and with it-s intense loyalty. I hope to come here again as soon as I can and I hope that Charlet'on, w-ill retain all her attre tiveness, tht she will lose none of thowse residences ar a those other tructures that make her unique throughout the country, that she will continue to have that press which makes each paper so interesting in discussing the other and that all the charaeters which go to make up your interesting society may remain here and live forever '' The menu cards were simple in de sign, consisting of two white cards held together with white. red and bluve ribbons. the top card bearing the seal of the city in gold and the in scription, briefly reciting the charac ler of the occasion and date engrav ed.

Thousands of women vainly at tempt to improve their complexions and to remove blackheads, crows' feet and other blemishes, through the use of cosmetics. This -treatment fails because the trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They are suf fering from impure and impoverished blood. This condition is in many cases due to a catarrhal condition of the whole system whieh finds its ex pression in sall.w, nor Idy complex ion, dark-cireled eyes, general weak-. ness of the sysvem, sa perhaps most plainly in the weeping of mucous membranes that is commonly called catarrh. In' fact this whole tendency is, prperly speaking. Catarrh. Banish this eatarrh, and the complexion will cleai- as if by magic, eyes will brigh 'ten, faces become rosy and shoulders eret. Perefet beauty goes only with perfect health. and perfect health for' women can only be obtained through one certain treatment-that which will eure catarrh. Mine. Swift. New York, the famous beauty specialist known throughout the world and an accepted authority on all relating thereto, states that the one positive and permanent relief for eatarrh is Rexall MuculTone. Here is her letter: "I can strongly endorse the claims made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure for systematic catarrl.. Its tonic ef fets are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality. If women who are tired and run down, lacking in energy and vitality, will use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will prais as I Ando tsstrngthening and MC)p Plentl -TO L The Commi Of Newb4 JNO. M. K'NARD, J. Y.

Rexall Mucu-Tone works throagh the blood, acting thus upon the mu cous cells-the congestion and infla mmation of which causes poison to be 'expelled from the System, and the blood is purified and revitalized. Thus the natural functions of the mucous cells are restored, and the membranes are cleansed and made istrong. We know that Rexall Mu cu-Tone does relieve .catarrh.
