Ruff delightfully entertained a :iuiiiLit ot li't iii nds at a kitchen shower in honor of Mrs. W. C. Ruff, a bride of the new year. The doors of the colonial home were spread wide for the many guests who were present. Tiie drawing room was beautifully decorated with carnations and po; plants, ine coior scheme b^ng carried out in pink and green. Tables were placed for progressive rook. Mrs. \\\ C. Brown. Jr. -made highest score, winning the prize, a beautiful pink crepe de chine handkerchief. After many games were played a delicious sweet course was served. The many useful gifts for the bride were then brought in by little Misses Helen Brown wand Nell Lominick in a handsomely decorated basket of pink and green paper bordered witn carnations The '.v:iii:j; y;?&sed away so pleasantly the guests were startled to hear the grandfathers clock in the spacious hall chime the "hour of six.

I was ruminating, as Bill Ark used to say, on how newspapers make public sentiment and how they know all about what public sentiment is. It is I ... ;a puzzle to a novice r.ow tney can : i.tate positively what thoughts are in all men's minds. It is surprising, too, how the public mind is changed in a I day, as for example on election day. >Ae read in the papers how a certain candidate will sweep the country, but the votes do not tally with newspaper authority. One of our big dailies not J | a long while ago made a great assertion that South Carolina would stand unanimously tor a certain ming ue! , sired by seme of that editor's favor, ites in Washington. I Now we are not wise like newspai per men but we have occasion to observe that there are yet a few, at ! least whose thoughts do not agree : with that newspaper assertion. The Atlanta Journal took occasion to observe a t>w days ago that Eng-' ^ a n ^ ; iana Was Ilg idling lur uie nuciij ?.inu , democracy of the world" and should i be allowed to do as she pleased, or I words -o that effect and asserted very ! b?.,ny that the majority of people ja <tt-d Willi liiaL s??umc-nt. I suppose j 1 was taking a poll of men's , thcu g'hts. , | Sso 1 was r uminating again that there are some few people in AmerI ica just now who have thoughts oc; c.. icna v, bi.t ru. r.er keep them in I TXT ^ J their heads instead 01 newspapers, we ( J s.: .v where the editor of a South Caroj lira daily paper some months past J was warming up for a fight with E; rope and seemed to be nervous because the president was slow in giving him a chance. He has cooled off j some now. That man he wanted to tieht looks bigger now than 'ne did then, and I suppose we seem smaller. He stated then that South Carolina was ready for the fray and would ccme up unanimously to the fight, j We Souih Carolinians are not such i blood drinkers any more as our wise I men suppose. j" Before we go to war again it win j be wise to leave it to a vote of the people, and 1 trust we shall have woman suffrage when we vote on that. The men can march off with banners and music but the women and children won't face the worst horrors of I war.

I do not believe I have j seen it stated that this traffic is right. { There are dollars in it and the men who control it owne one-fifth, of the wealth of our 'America. I dare say men have made guns and bullets here to kill their own blood brothers. If the Tv>rd Almighty does not some day call our country to account for such a commerce as that He will not bring those in Europe to judgment for their part in it. Ours is for dollars only, but they must be given credit, at least in some measure, for other motives. I i Newspapers and congress are learning now that there are some few millions of people left in the United States who desire to have no responsibility restI ins on them for their part in this traffic. Their petitions to congress attest I this. | And what about all our humanitari ian motives here in America? All our cities have societies for "prevention of cruelty to animals." They have men to put straw hats on them in summer. Now already the Allies have killed in battle two million horses and we are , supplying most of their calls for horse Fesh to till up the chasm. \ We are told a horse lives in that | rain of shrapnel and cannon balls j from three to five days. The Belgians are seeking the Shetland ponies tc ; drag their light cannon to replace the n Rnrm.

The answer was. "They gc to France for the army." Then came j the order from the horse dealer, "Let down the bars boys, and run ihem back into the hills." j Horses have jumped from $ 10to $200 a head. Tho best ones have been ? *' Tint.
