A Charming Entertainment,

A committee of Heventeen ladies
with Mrs. B rat ton deLoach as chalr
inan.from the John 1). Kennedy
chapter. U. D, C., gave a very pleas
ing entertainment at the hospitably
home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Kirklan
on last Wednesday evening. It was
called an "Experience Meeting."
Each member of the committee mus
make a dollar, and tell how she
made It.
The chairman had led,
And the others must follow. _
Wor excuses she said,
Would bo accepted from none.
Each must bring as an offering,
A round silver dollar,
And tell howl she made it
For the Hospital Fund.
These experiences were rich and
varied, and read by Mrs. Long, wlio
is a charming and expressive read
er. We really did not know that
Camden could boast so much liter
ary talent Messrs. Webb, H. Q.
Carrison, T. J, Kirkland and Mes?
| dames W. M. Shannon and D. A.
Boykin acted as judges, and the
prUe, a beautiful pot plant, was
' awarded to Mrs. J. W. Corbett with
Mrs. A. C. Ancrum's paper follow
ing as a close second. The compa
ny seemed well pleased and highly
entertained with the varied expe
riences, but this was not ?all that
the committee had- in store for thein
? Misses Alberta Team and Char
lotte Boykin played several bright
and catchy duets, Mrs. C. P. Du~
Bose sang with her usual ease and
sweetness, and Mrs. Paul Brown de
lighted the company with a piano
solo and also a sorfg, and then they
served refreshments, cake and ices.
And all for the small admission of
twenty-five cents. It was a success
socially aird financially, and the
chairman and her committee are_to
be congratulated.

Marriage a Failure?
The statisticians Inform us that
there is an Increasing tendency to
ward divorce, but the very worst di
vorce tables show that 12 couples out
of every 100 get divorced within 20
years of the marriage day. But only
-look at this statement from another
? angle. There are 88 couples who do
not get divorced. And so, la marriags
a failure? Hardly!

agreeing that life apart would present
greater charms, the wife goes out and
purchases two small candles, made es
pecially for such occasions. These can
dles are exactly the same slse, but
each has some distinguishing mark,
one being Intended to represent the
man, the other the woman. At exact

lighted, and the unhappy couple anx

candle goes out the divorce la com

How
She Shopped
"1 wasn't responsible," Halrd said. !
"1 always had known better than to 1
venture Into a department store with !
a woman bent on shopping, but, yon !
see, I was on my wedding trip. 8u
when Anne suggested going shopping
I smiled fatuously and consented. '
"Anne ma<,le for the elevators and ]
led m<' to the topmost floor. Heing
totally ignorant of the correct method
of storming a women's store, I took it !
for granted that starling in at the top !
was the rule, and that you got docked ?
If you didn't begin that way. 1 be- m
lleve it was the floor where you get
(Itted and ultered when you buy reudy
tn&des. I bashfully sluuk along bo
hind Anno aa aho strolled down ma
hogany forridors through the doora of
which came wails and complaints and
ptorum from women in tho process of
being altered and fitted.
"Just as 1 opened ray mouth to ask
Anne what she had bought to be fixed
and when she had bought It,- she turn
ed on mo blandly and said she was
ready to go down to the next floor.
. "There was a furniture display there
and I think she priced every piece of
It. In liulf an hour, my head was u
mixture of Flemish bookcases, raa,
hogany dining room sets, rococo
screens and tea wagons.
"Much us I loved Anno, I began to
feel pale. I figured out that my whole
annual income would Just about pay
for what tho dear girl apparently had
In mind.
"When she began talking with the
attentive salesman ubout an $800
carved chest I drew hor atddo. 'My
dear,' said I In quavering ton.es, 'real
ly, you know, wo can't afford an eight
hun- '
"'Silly!' she said. 'As if I didnt
know that! Why, I'm not going to
buy any furniture^? I'm just looking! '
And she sailed out of there under the
outraged eyes of tho salesman with
out turning a hair. '
"How women do It I can't (lguro out
1 ? they undoubtedly possess a sort of
courage, that men lack.
"Wfren I got my breath I found we
were on tho china and glass and pic
ture floor We priced about $100,000
worth of stuff there ? at least Anno
did,.* The salesman was so impressed
by her air that hb did his best to sell
her a dozen plates, very cheap at $1,
600: . I assure you that 1 got cold
chills, bo realistic was her assumption
that possibly if tho plates pleased her
she might condescend to havo them
nent to our address.
"And she was absolutely Impervious
to my agonized glances.
"She considered Beta In rock crystal
and she turned up her nose at $100
coffee cups. At last she led me down
to the floor beneath. It was full of
hats ? women's hats. Anne almost
purred. What on earth ' she wanted
there I couldn't imagine, because I
distinctly remembered hearing her say
that her trousseau Included ten hats.
"She didn't give me a chanoe to
point out to her that she could wear
only one hat at a time, because sho
promptly had the head milliner and
two earnest saleswomen surrounding
her.
"That girl tried on thirty-three hats
by actual count and, nB cach one was
more expensive than Its predecessor,
you can imagine the state of mind I
was In. I never knew there were 90
many different kinds of birds and
feathers and things in the whole
world until that day. . I saw myself
proceeding through the rest of our
trip lugging bandboxes and just as I
was working up an extremely bitter
frame of mind Anno smiled sweetly
at me and said she believed she was
ready to go.
"We left thO saleswomen reviving
each other and proceeded to the silks
and velvets. It was perfectly wonder
ful,, how much Anne knew about quali
ties and wearing abilities. ? Sho routed
six salesmen before she descended to
the linens and lingeries. I won't at
tempt to relate our visit to that floor,
but some time I want to tell you
about a $500 tablecloth and napkins
to match.
"The rest la a sort of mist. I know
that at last we found ourselves in the
basement among the kitchen furnish
ings. There Anne pimply had a glor
ious time pricing things. Up to now
she had bought absolutely nothing, so
I woke up with a start when she ran
out from a. dark, underground corner
with a teakettle in her hand.
" 'Isn't this a dear?' she asked. 'And
only 60 cents ? think of it! . How love
ly it will look In the fireplace!' So
she bought it
"That Isn't all. When we unpacked
It at home she deliberately marked a
12 In front o^ the .50. Then the first
time her cousin, who is one of those
women who pride * themselves on
knowing the value of every article on
earth, saw it she threw up her hands.
" 'My dear!' she cried. 'Did you get
that kettle for only twelve dolalrs and
a half? Why, you got a perfectly
tremendous bargain. It is worth dou
ble? -you can't fool me on antiqujes!
Where did you get it?'
M 'Oh, aald Anne,- nonchalantly, 'I
picked it up while we were away. I
just happened to run across it/
"So, after all," Baird concluded, 1
think 1 see how by spending half a
dollar <axid live hours a woman can
really accomplish something when she
goes shopping."
