(live Thoin a Home. Would it not be a good plan for the different Woman's cluba of the | city to come together and try to make some arrangement for a home Jtm the Cherokee Camp Fire OirlaT Through the courteay of Mr. and Mrs. David Williams they have a home at "Sarsfleld" for the prea ent, but that can only last until fall. It is an Important organization, for they will be taught many useful things, and is something that the Women of our community should feel interested In. A few dollars from each club would rent a suita ble place for them, or perhaps some one haa a room that they would be pleased to give. Misa Peck is willing tb sacrifice her time and energies to the suc cessful accomplishment of this Camp. And our women should ral ly to her support. Let" us hear some suggestions from Individuals, or let the clubs act. The teaching of the organization is for the mak ing atfd perfecting a desirable wo manhood. ' ? ? ? FJhIi Fry.

Charmed by the witchery of the golden note* of his voice uhe rained her uruiy up toward him as though to plead, l.*?uulug forward he sirotehea his owu to her aud moved forward a* If to approach. Hut with u low, frightened cry, i ahe turned aud run swiftly down the Pfctb *1)4 out uX light i Wheu inornlug came Dean bought out the girl with the wonderful, all very voice. It wan not difficult to find her among tbe mouulalufoU of the little village. It seemed ev er yor? kuew who It wan that gang, everyone knew that beautiful voice. Was ahe pretty, he asked. No, not even the mountain folk called Thel* mar Wlnterson pretty. Had she ever gone away to study ifiuslc or cultivate her voice. The mountalu folk could not remember her golug away to study music. How loug had they known her? he asked. Bluce she was born, they answered ?imply. It was a voice more beautiful than Dean hud ever heard before. Himself u singer, he knew its qual ities, he knew the qualities of a great voice and this voice hidden away here among the mountains had M nearly all of them as any he had ever listened to. In short, he decided that it was a voice the world could hot do without. Ho he. found the girl and talked io her face to face. As the villagers had said, she was not pretty, but she was slendor und girlish, and the makings of a genius looked forth at Gordon Dean out of her soft, dark eyes. But now those eyes filled with tears and dimmed her sight as he pleaded \ylth her to go. ** I cannot go," she repeated. "But you will be fumous as a singer the world over. You will be distinguished and rich," he ar gued in the face of her refusal. But still she shook her head. "I have no desire for wealth, and 1 crave no distinction save of my own selection. 1 cannot go." "But your voice ? " "My voice would fall if 1 should try to sing In your great cities be fore a great building full of peo ple. 1 could not -ever sing the sohgs great singers like yourself sing. I would fall. My heart, my very soul, Is here among the moun tains. 1 could not sing elsewhere. I cannot go." But Dean realising as he did the power of her voice, refused her refusal and many times after that endeavored to persuade her that she was wrong. But each and every time brer answer was the same, "I cannot go." Once back in the city, before the great building full of people, Dean realized that there was not that deep soul - stlrlng Joy in his heart when he sang, as It had been when he sang that night on the moun tain. There was some mysterious charm the moonlight night that he could not find here in the great city and he knew that he could nev er sing again as he had sung then. One April day when the buds in the woods were bursting and tiny leaves pushed their pale green out. of gray twigs, when trailing . ar butus blossomed in delicate, -pink profusion dovrii among liis'. years le&^fes and grasses, when the white wood violot scattered the fragrance of its breath to the wind. there arose in Gordon Dean's mind a vision of a slendor, mountain girl as she sang with the brook and the little birds, and poured out her heart In song in the vast solitude of the lonely mountain side. 1'er haps It was one of the old Scotch folk songs Bhe loved so wel., per haps It was Herrlck's little hymn or some Indian love sdng that lihe sang* and he sighed because lie knew that the world would ne/cr hear the song that she sang. "Wasted!" he said to hmlself. Then he turned about and asked himself the question, "Is it? Is it wasted?" The Girls of Camp Cherokee. Quite a number of the Camp Fire Girls met- at "Sarsfield" last Saturday and had a suggestion of out-door life. They hope to have a real experience In this line In the near future, when they go out on a camp. On Saturday after a round of games and healthful exercises, they were ready to enjoy to the fullest extent the dinner which had been prepared over the camp fire by the dainty little cooks of the day. They 'served roasted corn, roasted potatoes, hominy and fried bacon, and also some salad and sandwiches which they brought from home. We must admit that some of the girls were not "gartie," they did P?tJ stay to partake of the primitive dinner, but went home where some thing more tempting awaited them. , Well, they missed a treat and we feel sure that the next time they will be willing to share with their comrades "the fare of the camp. Late in the afternoon they went to the nearby pond. In the glow of the sun-set. When shadows grow long. What place so inviting As the "old factory pond?" ? ????? Straw Ride. Miss Sara Wolfe gave an enjoya ble straw ride to a number of her young .friends last Tuesday after noon, After a dip into one of the beautiful streams by which Camden Is bounded, the Jolly crowd came back to town and were delightfully entertained at the handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. David Wolfe. Mis? Sara proved a thoughtful hostess. Dainty ices, cakes and melons await ed the return of the Joy riders and was thoroughly enjoyed by them. , A Painful Accident. Sadie, tthe winsome little daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Wilson, was painfully, but not seriously burned last Wednesday. The little girl ran Into the kitchen, and ran against the cook, who had a pan of very hot water in her hand ; this was upset and went all over the little one's neck and ?bould ers. The physician was immediate ly called. And as the burns are not considered d??p; a speedy treat ment will no doubt prevent scars.
