The hall was beautifully and tastefully decorated with red and white bunting and Confederatei flags, which showed that the joy in the young hearts of the participants was heightened by the spirit of Oy-; alty to home and native land. It was altogether a suecessful and most pleasant affair and will long linger in the memory of each one present. The attendance was large and was made of a representative gathering: of the leaders of the social world: of the city and a number of visitors, the occasion being enjoyed by all. The general dancing was on until' twelve o'clock, when a most elab orate supper was setrved, foloweid by a favor german, led by Miss Bess Gilder, and Mr. Sam Niohols, of Spartanburg. Little Misses Ella and Aileen Dunn, dressed as cupids gave out the dance cards and Mr. R. H. Wright, Miss Martha John stono~ and Mrs. R. H. Wright dis tributed the favors. I iThe chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. I' Frank H~unter, Dr. Gilder and Mr. and Jes Herman Wright.

Not in His Time. A we4pwn New Yorker who evinces a keen interest in all that pertains to the history of our coun try was desirous recently, while in Boston, of visiting certain localities interesting by reason of their con neetion. with Revolutionary events. One morning when he was going down in the elevator of the Hub's biggest hotel he said to the man at the wheel: "I wish to visit the wharf where the tea was thrown overboard." - 'The conductor looked somewhat mystified. "You'd better inquire -t the office, sir," he said. "I guess that happened before I came here. I've been, in Boston only about a year.'"-Philadelphia Ledger. Covered With Mortification. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, at a dinner in New York, defended the customs officials of the port. "These intelligent young men," e said, "in a difficult position con-, duct themselves adroitly. The sto ries are .false that make them out to be brutal and indelicate. If it were rurkev now! "In the days before Batoum. fell bo Russia," he resumed, "a sailor m1 an English ship lying in Batoum iarbor went ashore and bought him ;elf a pair of trousers. He put thei rousers on. His old ones were quite c'orn out and he told the dealeT tio' brow them away. Then he started 'orth into the street proudly.

They stupped him, an6 - their chief said: t- 'Those are new trousers you've gOt on?"' k " 'Yes,' said the sailor. 'I jusi , bought them.' - " 'Then,' said the customs chief, . 'you must pay duty on them.' " 'But I've no money left,' said - the sailor. And this was true. His 1 last copper had gone to pay the - shopman's hill. 'No money?' cried the chief. 'That's very bad for you, then. You'll have to leave the trousers with us in that ease.'' 'But I've got nothi.ng, under them,' objected the sailor. 'Never mind. We won't look,' and the chief and his men all repeatH ed that there was no fear-thely would none of them look. 'But other people may look!' shouted the desperate sailor. " 'The officials shrugged their shoulders. " 'That,' they said, 'is no con cern of ours.' "And so the poor sailor was forced, willy nilly, to leave his new purchase ,behind, and to gallop to his ship as best he could, making up in speed for what he lacked in dra pery.''-Washington Post. Went Him One Better. Generally speaking, a waiter's life is not a particularly happy one, and Mr. Browne has found it very diffi cult to please some of his customers. A fussy individual entered the res taurant the other day. "Waiter," he said, "I'll begin on. oysters. One dozen-natives, mind; I like them on the deep shell, not too large nor yet too small. Choose them carefully. and remember you must not bring me any that are not fresh aand plump." "Yes. sir.' said the waiter, sar donically; "an' would you like 'em with pearls in 'em or without, sir?" -Human Life.
