BEAUTIFUL MILLINERY
CREATIONS.
THE SEASON'S OFFERINGS IN
FEMININE HEAD ADORNMENT?
A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY.
In the spring a woman's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of hats,
and judging from the beauty and
variety of t he elaborate creations on
display at the several "millinery
openings" now in progress here, the
feminine fancy is afforded a feast
of finery and a flow of fashion unprecedented
in the annals of similar
events within the time the memory
of the oldest inhabitant runneth not
to the contrary.
o flumsv man, with
1 ui a i vtuvy ?- ??? w
crude artistic ideas, to attempt to
describe the beauty of form and
perfection of color scheme, with
just the proper proportion of that
subtle and elusive element yclept
style, would be like trying to paint
a picture of the Madonna on a barn
v door with house paint, and The
Record's reporter who made the
rounds of the local millinery stores
can give his impressions only in the
vaguest and most uncertain way.
The prevailing style see us to run
to size and some of the pattern hats
are simply huge.
At Mrs Marcus' a crowd of ladies
were looking over a display of hats
that even to the uninitiated eye gave
evidence of discriminating taste in
their selection. Mrs Marcus has
. quite a variety of the tailored hats,
one of the most popular of the new
spring models. These hats are said
^ to be quite the thing this season.
While here we h^ard many compliments
to Mrs Marcus on the beauty
and variety of her offerings.
\* Mrs Jenningsand Misses Gale and
Parker were quite busy during our
"look-in" at that popular establish"
ment, but Miss Gale found time to
show us some of their prettiest hats
and trimmings.
Answering our inquiry whether
she had any of the "Chantecler"
hats designed after the characters
Rostand's great play of the
same name which has all Paris by
the ears, Miss Gale said that up
North she had noticed only one woman
wearing a stuffed rooster on
her hat, which is the "Chantecler"
style, the play being simply a poetic
fable in which the whole drama of
human society is symbolized by
barnyard fowls. Miss Gale stated
further that in selecting her line of
hats and millinery she had endeavored
to avoid the extreme of the ultra
fashionable, as typified by the
"Chantecler" freak monstrosity,and
at the same time to give her patrons
the smartest models in chic millinery
creations, and a glance about her
establishment would indicate that she
had succeeded admirably in carrying

to come, ladies, and see th
lafer, who will take pleasu
INGSTRE
i out her intention.
In the millinery annex to the
j Kingstree Dry Goods Co's handsome
emporium Miss Shafer, the milliner,
and several assistants were flitting
from one to another of the crowd of
'spectators showing and explaining
! the latest modes in chapeaux and
trimmings and other accessories to
| the crowning ornament of lovely
j woman. The pattern hats both in
design and trimming showed the
result of excellent taste and certainly
one would be fastidious indeed
not to find something pretty and becoming
in the way of head adornment.
Altogether the millinery exhibitions
this year are quite in keeping
with the growth and progress ' of
"Greater Kingstree." Time was
when the ladies who wanted to be
in style had to order their hats and
take chances as to quality and ma!
terial, as well as getting just what
they liked; unless by a lucky chance
the hat was becoming and suitable
in all respects, the buyer had the
choice of keeping something unsuitj
able cfr paying almost the value of
i the hat in express charges. Then,
1 too, the good ladies missed all the
j pleasure of going the rounds of the
shops, exchanging news and views,
and the privilege of "trying on"
many different styles of hat until
one suited.
The Meanest Man.
The meanest man on life's highways
Is not the man who's bent I
On making loans for thirty days
At ten or twelve per cent.
He's not the tuar. wrho wore his brain
Into a frazzled wreck
To make a button of a wart
That grew upon his neck.
He's not the man who saved his heels
B> walking on his toes.
He's not the man who saved his teeth
JBy talking through his nose. '
The meanest nun is not the one
Whose greed insatiate
Caused him to climb the fence to save
The hinges on thejfate.
The meanest man on earth today
Is not the man who totes
A quart of shoepegs to his horse
And palms them off for oats.
Nay. all these men are gentlemen
Of wondrous heart, and kind.
Compared to him who is so mean
He always whips behind.
God bless the man who's kind e.iough
To just look straight ahead,
And never growls because a kid
Hooks on a little sled.
May health be his, and length of years;
And may lie fortune find
1 For nothing is too good for him
Who never whips behind.

:E DRY (
BEEFSTEAK.
At It Is Served In the Finmcial District
of New York.
In addition to the mad struggle
for money there is another problem i
that besets the habitues of the?
financial district. It is the homely
and prosaic operation of feeding .
the inner man. (
Doubtless it takes away some of
the splendid radiance that is sup- ,
posed to surround the "captains of
industry and capital," but it is none j
the less true that the wealthiest ,
banker in the street must have his
"bam and" three times a day, even ,
as the humble messenger boy or the
patient elevator man. ,
The only difference is that the j
"ham and" of the "money baron" j
becomes pate de foie gras or diamond
back terrapin. However, thaf^ ,
great American staple beefsteak
appears in a multitude of forms
down where the "golden flood" is
V\nir>rr foL-nn of lfc firlo PnrlmnS if 1

were to award a prize to the ]
most popular luncheon item in the 1
entire Wall street district he would ]
pin the classic blue ribbon on Mr. 1
B. Steak. i
Beefsteak, however, is, as the i
words of the famous poem says, I
"Numerous as the leaves that strew !
the brooks of Yallombrosa." For
instance, there is the beefsteak of <
the messenger boy, and there is the <
beefsteak of the "money king." Tis i
indeed a far cry from one to t'other. ]
Discussing beefsteak as it ap- 1
pears, 6ay in the neighborhood of i
Broad street and Exchange place, i
one finds sixty-seven different ]
places within a radius of two blocks
where the staple is served. In each
cafe one may find, conservatively
stated, one dozen varieties. The ,
grand total, therefore, is 804 differ- (
ent grades, 6tyles, manner or pre i
vious condition of servitude in the ]
beefsteak family. :
The priee, too, may well be stated i
in verse. It is
Variable aa the shade 1
OJ IUC quivvi lilt IIICHIV.
To be explicit, there is the steak
carefully removed from the base of a
venerable oxen's hams, which (the
ox) has outlived its usefulness as a
beast of burden and which is served
to the appreciative messenger boy
for "10 cents, one dime." There
is also the cut that carries with it
"French Iried and gravy," and
which goes like hot cakes at 25
cents a throw. This is affected by
stenographers and clerks. Then
for chief clerks and others there is
the old friend at 50 cents a portion
and on up to $1.
Finally there comes what might
be termed the king of its kind,
found only in the highest grade of
cafe. Here the piece de resistance
comes three inches thick and beautifully
browned, decorated with
mushrooms, sprinkled with watercress
and parsley, surrounded by
pickled walnuts, juicy, delicious and
luscious, served on a plank alongside
a bottle of wine and a check
for $10. This, of course, does not
include bread and butter.
Yea, there is steak to be had at
10 cents just as there is steak to be
had at $6, but, oh, what a difference!
Yet all are appreciated.?

I saw that it was a man. He had

Tiny Screws.
Wonderful skill is displayed in
the manufacture of miniature timepieces
that are used to ornament
bracelets and other pieces of jewelry.
The parts of these miniature
watches are necessarily as perfect
is those used in a much larger timepiece,
but mach smaller. They must
be examined under a powerful mirroscope.
Some of the small screws are only

He neither moved nor spoke. Just

exclaimed, "I hope we are not keeping
