Hints on Interior Decorations
It is most important that lamps be
well placed. A simple lamp nicely
proportional in size to the table or
chair with which it is to be used is
far more effective than a superior
lamp of the wrong size. This in an
important consideration. Frequently
a very small lamp will be used on
a large table with artistically poor
whereas the same lamp used
on a small desk or table appears to
be entirely delightful. The idea that
should be kept in'mind by one buying
lamps is the fact that the present
tendency today is towards things
that are individual, things that set
a new keynote, lamps that are colorful
and rather severe, rather than
fussy and feminine as has been too
much the case Jp the past.
, A question frequently Asked is:
What is . the proper number of. lamps
for the living room ?" It is 0f courte
obviously impossible to answer such
a question without first seeing the
room, but as a general rule it is possible
to use four lamps at least, for
that allows the employment of two
table lamps, a bridge lamp and either
a floor lamp or a desk light. It
is generally advisable to have these
different in character, in order - to
lend variety to the room. To use
more lamps in the room is to add vi-j
tolity and color and beauty. It must1
(be remembered, however, that lamps
must be selected and placed so that
they are really useful as well as
'beautiful, for (p?herwi9e they are not
fully answering the function for
which they were intended.?Lamp

Cadariee Harris foodale
lU&efe MANN WAS SPRAYER
At Meeting of BtminoM Leagut Held
Monday Evening,
The regular monthly meeting of
the Young Men's Business League
was held Monday evening at the Palmetto
Tea Room, More than fifty
members of the league were present
to hear the very entertaining and instructive
address of Judge M. M.
Mann of Sb Matthews. He talked
on the potential development of South
Carolina and the uwakening that it
is now experiencing, making some
valuuble observations on'some of the
problems entailed. He said the organization
of the State's young men
into civic bodies was one of the most
evident signs of the new spirit.
On behalf of the league, John K.
delxtach presented Henry Savage,
Jr., who was last month retired as
the organization's first president, with
a silver goblet.
The meeting was then turned into
a business session, I)r. C. A. Dunn
taking the chair on account of the
president, W. L. DePass, Jr., being
tailed away.
E. C. Zemp, chairman of the memorial
gateway committee, made an
encouraging report. The very near
future should see work begun on this
worthy project. The main gateway
will be a massive brick double arch
located near the city limits on the Columbia
foad. It will be electrically
lighted and will have an avepue of
trees leading up to it from the river
bridge to the city limits. It was
planned to stage a drive for the remaining
necessary funds in the immediate
future.
It was decided to issue invitations
to the Rotary Club, the Chamber of
Commerce and the American Legion
inviting them to join the league in a
concerted Boy Scout movement, each
organization untertaking to organize,
foster and finance a new Boy Scout
troop in the community.
The committees for the coming
year were announced and it was
suggested with approval that the
league have a "grape meeting" in the
near future, getting one of the Seaboard's
grape exper'imentors to talk
at the meeting.

husband committed suicide in
dramatic fashion by swallowing a
quick-acting poison in their hotel
bathroom shortly after noon today.
A sealed letter addressed to the
bride he wus about to make a widow,
authorities said, assumed full
blame for taking his own life and
exonerated his wife of any responsibility
but failed to give any explanation
of the deed.
Mtts, appearing perfectly normal,
went into the bathroom without conveying
to his wife any hint of his
tragic intentions, and swallowed the
poison, according to authorities' version
of the suicide. A moment lator,
he returned to the bedroom, with
marks of the fatal dose about his
mouth, and showing evidence of
agony.
The bride called a doctor immediately
and' although he arrived beforo
the youth had breathed his last, he
found Pitts beyond aid. Pitts Jived
less than ten minutes after taking
the poison.
The young couple registered at the
hotel about 11:45 o'clock last night.
I i.tts, as son of the president of the
Industrial Cotton mill of Rock Hill,
had been a student at the University
of South Carolina and also at the
Citadel hut had recently been eonnucted
with his father's business.
Mrs. Pitts' home was in Blackville.
She formerly attended Winthrop
college.
