Rion McKisoick, formerly a member of Governor Manning’s staff, one of the genial hosts at the recent press con vention here, has just made a novel discovery of the whereabouts of a gorgeous uniform which he wore when the governor’s staff was called upon to lend dignity to numerous public af fairs/ The discovery is another proof of “it pays to advertise,” though Colo nel McKissick in this case was not the advertiser, and, as it developed, was not bent upon tracing his uni form. He had forgotten all about it, as a matter of fact, until the other day he read a Columbia story to the effect that an army officer who had ju s t returned from overseas declared that he saw a doorman at one of the big hotels in Brussels wearing a uniform that was once worn by a member of the staff of a governor of South Car olina. The officer said he was at the hotel rn Brussels one day when his atten tion was attracted to the uniform worn by the doorman. It looked strangely familiar, being a brilliant navy blue with a quantity of gold braid across the front and shoulders, and having the initials *‘S. C.** on the collar. Upon closer inspection he found that every one of the doxen or more shiny brass buttons on the coat was adorned by the familiar palmetto tree The doorman did not speak English, so the officer hunted armsnd until he found an interpreter and then began to make inquiries Areerdiag to the story which he was ahir to piece to . -’«• «•**• >“» r~r tw. -mi r/r • 4r*n Hi Om *utM f->r mr • “,.*7; iimmiuiummuimiint ■ wo v wwuwng 1NG I THE MEETING By JULIA A.

KODAKERS Her soldier boy was coming home and Nlta dreaded the meeting. Of course she would have to see him and he would find out her deception. What would he think of her? How could she bear that he should look at her? It had all begun at the girls’ Red Cross meeting. “Let’s pin our names and addresses on the Inside of these socks we are knitting,’’ suggested May Bond. “Perhaps the soldiers who get them will wrltt! to us.” x , “Good!” cried the other girls. “Wouldn’t It be fun to get a letter from a soldier?” Each girl as she finished a pair of socks pinned her name on the inside and they were sent out. After a time letters began to arrive from the boys at the front, telling of war experi ences and of army life. The girls read them aloud with many comments and much Interest. Nlta, In a spirit of fun, had pretend ed In her letter that she was some body’s maiden aunt, and wrote In a motherly strain. She had hardly ex pected her soldier to write more than once, but he did. Her letters were filled with good advice and suggestions for his health and comfort, and he seemed to like them. “There won’t be sny romance for me out of these letters,** Kite laughed, “lie thinks I'm so old maid. I doo’t believe he’ll want to see me when be comes home, end I'm sore I wouldn’t want him to. I wonder If he wlabee I were a girl." she added to bersAf. “Pm glad he doewo’t know."

Do you think any maiden aunt could write such let ters as you have been writing to me? I’ve had your image before me all the time, and I’ve learned to worship it I knew your eyes were full of laugh ter, that your hair was soft and fluffy, that your lips smiled with “the tiniest dimples.
