The quest-of beauty Q f whole community, as old as the race and has endured -phe first duty of any city is to take care of its citizens—present and fu- through a variation of standards and a diversity of methods by which it might be achieved. Physical beauty, as a natural gift has always been highly prized and never more so than at the present time.^Jt has remained, j»erhaps, for modem science and art to lend their aid to the seekers after comeliness to a greater extent than ever before in the history of the world. The tendency of the age seems to be to rejoice in your natural beauty if you have any and if you have it not to seek to have it added unto you 1 through the services which are ren dered by the drug stores and beauty parlors. There is no department of art which has been so highly develop ed in recent years, with the result that the manufacturers of cosmetics have risen to groat power in the financial world and man has utterly despaired of estimating with accuracy the age of the fair ones who come within his. range of vision. ture; to surround its young men and women with the r.ght influences and protect its growing boy’s and girls from the taint of corruption and the curse of debilitating and demoralizing influences. secretary; Mr. urer.

The shade-trees that now line Broadway, Main, Centennial, Mus- grove, Phinney ave., and other shorter streets are beginning to reward the town for the pains taken to set them out six, eight and ten years ago. The town will shortly be a lovely spot. Nothing struck us so much in several continental cities as the splendid shade-trees beautifying cities like Pa- n$, Antwerp, Brussels and many more. Our own Columbia is one of the loveliest of American cities because of it. We trust that our council will not conclude that the work is done, but v»ill fill up the gaps in the present trees and continue the shade to the extreme verge of the town limits. Information Requested The Stephen D. Lee chapter, U. D. C., desires information as to the whereabouts of one of the polished stone balls missing from the Confed erate monument base. There are three of these balls missing. Two of them are at Sadler-Owens Pharmacy, but the third cannot be found. Any one who has any information as to the whereabouts of this ball will confer a great favor, and assist in restoring the monument base to its original design by giving information to the under signed as to the whereabouts of the missing ball.
