The Pure Food

The Secret of Betsy Tan.
(We reproduce the following in
teresting little story from the K>e
eeiMlMr Itutue o f the Wluthrop Col
lege Journal, written by a < aiudeu
girl : )
It wa? a cold, dreary November
day. The heavy, leaden sky shut
out the cheering gleam* of the sun,
and the rain fell with th* monoto
nous, ceaseless drip characteristic of
November rains . On ?uch days, I
usually spent a happy time alUlog
before a great, fire dreaming pleas
ant dreamt of the future. Today,
however, the flrealde did not offer
its uuual charms, and I wandered
almleaaly about the houtffe, aeeklng
Home occupation to pass away the
dreary hours. Nothing teemed to
aatlsfy. From my book to the pia
no to letter writing, I drifted, but
gave up each oue In turn aa hope
let*. At la?t, my auut, disturbed,
no doubt, by my restlessness,
brouKht me the keya to the varloua
drawers and trunka In the old attic,
and suggested that, perhaps, I
would there find something that
would intereest me.
The attic waa an old friend of
mine, with w^o I had spent mauy a
pleasant hour. Each time 1 aought
Its company, It brought forth some
interesting relic of the past to a
muse me, and charmed me with ma
ny an old tale of my ancestQrs. 80,
hoping that today It would prove as
Interesting as 'ever, I went up to
have a chat with it. For an hour
or so, I rummaged among the old
articles theree: hoop-skirts and
bonnets of my grandmother, gorg
eous brocades of some belle of by
gone days, letters and books belong
ing to some grandfather While 1
was putting a dress back Into the
trunk of my great great grand-mo
ther, Betsy l'an, my hand happened
to press against something . ground
and hard. To my utter amazement,
the whole bottom of the trunk rose
up several Inches, revealing under
neath a secret space, where, neat
ly pnt away ? evidently by the own
er's hands ? ? were a crumbling
wreath of flowers, a creamy white
dress, and a locked diary. This
visit was, Indeed, an interesting one,
nay, became positively exctllng.
Eagerly I took the book from Its
hiding place, thinking to find in it
some explanation of the secret. On
the fly leaf was Inscribed: "Ellsa
hath a t wnnH l'an: Her Diary."
Trembling with eagerness, 1 hur
ried . down to my favorite window
seat in the library, and there, curl
ing up snugly, began to reead my
precious "find:" ?
" 'O little book, I'm in such a
flutter, I can scarcely y find the
time to tell you my wonderful
news. Just think, little book, I,
little insignificant Betsy l'an, have
been chosen to be chleef flower girl
In the grand celebration to be giv
en when Marquis de Lafayette vis
its Cameron. And I'm to have the
honor of presenting marquis him
self with a beautiful bouquet - of
flowers. And that night I am go
ing to the great ball? -though mo
ther says I'm too young. Oh,
I Just know I shall have a most ex
citing adventure, for it 1b all like
a fairy tale.
44 'Two days later.? Everything is
coming on beautifully., Mother has
had the lovely embroidered muslin,
that Captain Rogers brought me
from far-away India, made for me
to Wear in the procession. And 1
am to have a wreath of roses in
my hair, and am going to carry a
great bunch of -them. And a most
beautiful white brocade has been
ordered from Charleston for my
ball dress. It is all glorious, and
I am the happiest mortal alive!!'
" 'The day of the celebration. ?
Little book, I just had to tell you
about tt_ all, though I haven't a
minute td spare; for it is nearly
time to dress for the ball. This
morning, mother and Aunt iP'atsy
dressed me,- and we drove down to
the Square where we were to as
semble. Everything waB most beau
tifully decorated, and all tHe peo
ple were dressed in their nicest
clothes; and I felt, oh, so proud be
cause I was going to be in it allj
After waiting a short while, it seem
ed hours to me,- we heard _the drum
beating, and I knew that, at last,
the great event was to happen. Fi
nally, the carriages appeared, and
all trembling and fluttering with
nervous excitement, the flower girls
with me at their head, went forward
to meet them. As we went along,
I kept saying my speech over and
pver, I was s.o afraid I would for
get it. At last, we reached the
carriages, and going forward I pre
sented the flowers and said my lit
tle speech, and, strange to say, I
wasn't scared a bit. As I gazed at
the people around the marquis, I
saw *the best looking man 1 have
ever seen. His beautiful eyes were
Bmiling at me, oh, so sweetly, that
I scarcely heard the words the mar
quis was saying. Then the flower
Jtirls turned around and began strew
ng flowers before the carriage. *?-, -
When we reached the Square,
everybody cheered and clapped and
the marquis, bowing and smiling,
stood up and addressed a few words
to the crowd. Then we went on to
the home of Mr. Anthony White, the
.mayor, who was entertaining ? the
marquis that day. The flower girls
were to leave the procession there,
hut the marquis made Mr* White
bring us in and introduce "us to
him. And while we were standing
there, laughing and talking, 1 felt
some one looking at me, and turn
ing, I saw the same handsome
young man Whom I had noticed be
fore, gazing at me. I blushed and
looked away. A few minutes later
Mr. White brought him over to
where I was standing and introduc
ed him to me. HI* name was Jack
Courtney, and he was from Virgin
ia, the state I like best of all, next
to South Carolina, He made a tew
gallant remarks, .which I did not
hear, I was so excited, and then
begged me fo? a rqsebud from my
wreath, saying: "Now, don't you
think it unfair to give the marquis
a whole armful and not give hit
companion a single one?" Again,
I blushed (I am so silly) and told
him that I ' couldn't give him- -any
from my wreath, for I hud promis
ed it to tome one, but. perhaps, if
I Haw htm that night, I might give
him one. Thou it wan time to go,
and ho. accompanying me to the
door, reminded mo not to forgot
tpy promise. As ir I could forgot
it. And, now, little book, it's al
tnsto time to go to tho hall, aud 1
ahall see hlin there!'
*? 'One week lator. ? Little book,
tho grandest event of my life, 1
am sure, has passed; but it has not
euded by any means, listen, while
X tell you a secret: I'm engaged
I shall tell you all about it. That
night I weut to the ball, aud who
should ask me for ttho first set
but Mr. Courtney. While we were
dancing, he again reminded me of
my promise, and I told him that I
would give It to him at the end of
that dance. When it was euded,
k? took me off to a little secluded
nook on the veranda, and there we
talked until auother set wan over.
That night I danced five other sots
with him ? five whole bliMsful time#.
After that, mother made me promise
not to dance again with him, for
people were beginning to remark
about Mb attention to me. ' The
noxt day, /mother made me rest,
and would not let me go to any of
the fubtlvltlos, naylng that 1 was
too young to dissipate so much.
She let me go to the fox hunt tho
negt morning, however. Billy Car
ter was with me, and Mr. Courtney
was with that flirt, Helen Carring
ton; that 1b, he started out with
her. Hilly and I kept In the lead
close l>chtnd the hounds, but his
horse fell when we jumped a fence,
and sprained a leg. Billy made me
go on with Colonel Carter, so that
| wouldn't lose the load. After a
while, i hoard some one riding
hard tndiind me; and, looking a
round, I Baw Mr. Courtney, spurr
ing up to my side. We all rode
along together for a while, until,
somehow, Jack and I got separated
from the rest. We seemed to for
get ull about the fox and hounds,
and everything, we were bo busy
talking to each other. And, then,
Jack told mo that he loved mo;
that ho had loved me since the
very first time his eyoB behold me.
And when he asked If I could not
return his love a little, 1 couldn't
help tellng him the truth. And bq
we wore betrotthed. Jack left that
afternoon, promising to return the
following week. . And this 1b tho
following week, and he will Boon
be here.' "
Add that was the last entry. But,
turning to the end of the book, 1
found a few more llnoB, written in
a more mature hand:
" 'Poor Jack never returned. A
few weeks later, t heara that ho
had, been Belied with a fever and
had died. And, though that sad
ground In my heart has long sine?
healed, and I love Billy more than
any girl ever loved her fiance, some
how 1 like to cherish the memory
of my first love. 1 am going to
put the diary that contains the his
tory of that love, the dress 1 wore
When first 1 saw him, and the
wreath of roBes, deep down In the
?ecret hiding place of my trunk,
and keep them always. *

A most delightful affair of the
week among the younger sot and
one productive of much fun and
merrlmentt. was the "funny dress
masquerade party" given by Master
Caleb Whltaker on Monday evening
at the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Whltaker on Fair street.
The porch and lawn were brilliant
ly Illuminated with strings of vari
colored' Japanese lanterns, and in
this soft light there flitted in and
out mysterious figures clad In the
costumes of well nigh evefy nattion
ality, and also the ghostly Inhabi
tants of other worlds. The de
mure little Puritan maids with their
sombre dresses were the best of
friends to the gay but tor files of
tho great "400," and the winsome
Gypsy maiden was the chum of state
ly Martha Washington. And the
QocIobs of Liberty and Folly were
on the beat ^of terms. The Godess
of Flowers, had fair representatives
from her kingdom in the daisy,
chrysanthemums, etc.
Other characters cleverly repre
sented were TUlovms, Ku Riux, In
dians, Chief, etc. The stately co
lonial dames smiled on the frolic
some clowns, and so on through an
endless variety of characters.
The . evening was passed in danc
ing. At 10.30 they were Invited
into the dining room and from a
table lovely in green and white,
delicious cream and cake were serv
ed. It will be remembered by the
young friends of the host, as one
of the most beautiful parties of
the seasons.
