Dear Amy:-
htlidn'i: think I needed any furniture,* but
I got an invitation from the leading reliable furni
ture store in town to “just come in and look
around.”
I went and was so tempted by the beautiful,
serviceable new things’ 1 saw, that I bought a whole
wagon load.
The brices Were so reasonable aud the things
so pretty that I just could’t help it. I got a nice
new, little chair for Baby John; he’s so destruc
tive.
Ta-Ta,
Lou.
P.S.-The store I went to was
Galloway-Simpson Fur.

Federal legislation has changed the
open season for shooting doves from
September 16 to October 16 as the
opening dates for sportsmen in South
Carolina and thereby brought about a
conflict with the State law, according
to Wade Hampton Gibbes, state game
warden. The South Carolina law was
made to conform with the federal mi
gratory bird treaty act by the 1919
general assembly of the State, but
since that time United States agents
have notified Mr. Gibbes that the open
season under federal law is from Oc
tober 16 to January 31, inclusive.

dents of the Columbia and Charleston
