A Jolly Out-Door Party.
1'liis was a decided s-uccess, for the
children were so onihnsiastic. The af-
;air look place in (he country, but I
do not think a city back yard or a
park would fall shorr of the require-
incnfs. Of course, all depends upon
the weather, for Hi is )>arty requires
i ynow and a frozen pond, if possible.

in the darkness; then there were
liu.£^e bonfi-.vs bmli along the edge of
ilie pond with caretakers to watch for
sparks. There were skating races,
limning races, tobogganing and a mer
ry game of Hare and Houmis. with red
(oiitVtii for ‘sc’ent.’' The last stimt
was storming a sno\v fort, the children
bt’ing divided into tv.o sides, white
ri’.ou and "Indians.” After this excite
ment they were railed into a supper

For St. Agnes Eve.
Friday, the 20th, brings Saint Agnes
eve. a s-peolal day in the old-time cal
endar. At this season, young girls
wf re wont to peer into the future to
discern the characteristics of their fu
ture husbands. They resorted to all
sorts of tricks aud used rosemary and
ih>me, as custom, or tradition rather,
proclaimed them the flowers for that
day. (t was the time love proph
ecies. so it would be an auspicious
time for an engagement announce'
:r.ent. or for a bridal luncheon.
White riowers, with a white menu
aw far as possible, would be pretty,
passing with dessert a tray of marsh
mallows and a wee glass candlestick
containing a wnite candle, one for
each gnsH-t to be taken as souvenirs.
Tcaf^ting marshmallows at the table
and watching to see whose candle

finale to a luncheon dinner. The

as to decorations.
MADET^INB.
T\Tiy not have a ‘'Hard Times”
party? They are lots of fun. Send
out invitations on brown paper, writ
ten in red pencil, rolled up and sealed
with red w'ax. Decorate with lamps
and candles, flowers in tin cans and
broken bottles. Have benches and
wooden chairs lo »it on. Ask them
all to come in “poor glad rags.” Serve
mush and miik, coffee in tin cups,
baken beacs. brow^n bread, pickles, mo-
la&ses candy, peanuts. Offer a prize
for the worst costume and ask each
one to tell in three minutes what they
would do if they had only ten cents,
1 am sure you will have a jolly good
time.
Pertaining to Weddings.
A friend is to be marired last of this
month. A qniet wedding. How w^ould
iiarp solos do during the ceremony, or
would you have music; have you any
suggestions as’ to suitable selections,
and what would you suggest for a
w'edding breakfast, quite elaborate, as
there will only be ten guests, so can
manage several courses.
RED ROSE.
Music is permissible, and I sliould
have the harp by al Imeans. Wedding
marches may be played, and such air.?
as “Sweetest Story Ever Told,^’ “O,
Promise Me.” “Call Mo Thine Ow^n,"
etc., are appropriate. A music store
will gladly give you a longef list. oFr
a winter wedding breakfast serve first
grape fruit, then birds on toast, rice
croquettes, currant or wild grai^e jelly,
individual omelets, coffee, hot rolls,
and if the hour Is eleven or after, a
frozen last course is permissible.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Queries From a Bride-Elect.
For a simple home wedding of just
the bride’s nearest relations. is it
proper to have a low-necked dress?
Must she wear long gloves all evening
or can she take them entirely off after
the ceremony? Would it be all right
to have a friend play ihe wedding
march? Pink Rose.*
Ii used to be considered proper to
wear only a high-necked gown when
a bride, but now low ones are in fa
vor, though often the neck is veiled
with a yoke of transparent net, tulle
or rare lace. Long gloves are worn
and kept on until the gown is chang
ed. It would be perfectly proper
to have a friend play the wedding
march.
Sending Flowers.
If I send flowers for a friend’s birth
day, should I put my card in, and
what shall I write on the card? j
A. B. C. j
I
Surely send your card with the flow- i
crs, and write, if you wish: “With love |
and best wishes for many happy re
turns of the day.” j
!
Addressing Announcement Cards.
Please ten me the correct form for
addressing the inside and outside en
velopes oi a wedding announcement.
S. J. T.
On the outside envelope say either
“Mrs. John Smith,” or “Mr. and Mrs.
John Smith,” with full address; on the
Inside, “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith,”
with no address.
Dainty Sweetmeats.
Please, dear Madam Merri. give me
some suggestions for sweetmeats oth
er than plain candy or s-alted nuts.
MARTHA.
Di d you ever make stuffed dates,
using various kinds of nuts for filling,
then roll in granulated sugar? They
are very good wnth marshmallows cut
in halves and put in place of the pit,
aud some people like a filling of cream
cheese. Then candied sugar is al
ways delicious, and if you as-k at the
confectioner’s they .generally have
some novelty which they make to or
der like white grapes or straw^berries
dipped in fondant, each placed in a
wee paper cup.
For a Si!\^er Wedding.
Kindly tell i^e if an entertainment
is necessary to celebrate a silver wed
ding, or tell me how such occasions
are observed, and w’hat about things
to eat. C. D. L.
Wedding annivers^aries are usually
observed by a reception more or less
formal, according to w^hether the
guests be many or few. Music Is al-
w'ays in order, with dancing or cards
if the hostess should desire. Refresh
ments are served the same as for a
wedding, with silver table service, if
obtainable.
Questions on any subject pertaining
to this department will cheerfully be
answered. A reply will be sent by
mail if stamped and addressed en
velope is enclosed; otherwise answers
will appear in this column. Address,

Recipe for Scripture Cake.
The recipe below was sent by an
“Interested Reader.” I hope it will
prove valuable to member® of the de
partment’s large family. Slices of
“Scripture” cake may be sold for ten
cents with a copy of the recipe and
thus add quite a sum to the treasury.

3 1-2 Cups of Flour—I. Kings 4:22.
3 Cups of Sugar—Jeremiah 6:20.

Cures Weak
Men--Free
I have in my possession a perscrlp-
tion for nervous debility, lack of vigor,
weakened manhood, failing memory
and lame back, brought on by excess
es, unnatural drains, or worn and ner-
vofus men right in their ow^n homes—
without any additional help or medi
cine—that I think every man who
wishes to regain his manly power and
virility, quickly and quietly, should
have a copy. So I have determined to
send a copy of the prescription free of
charge. In a plain, ordinary sealed en
velope to any man who will writ a me
for it.
This prescription comes from a phy
sician who has made a special study
of men and I am convinced it is the
surest-acting combination for the cure
of deficient manhood and vigor failure
ever put together.
I think I owe it to my fellow man to
send them a copy in confidence so that
any man anywhere who is weak and
discouraged with repeated failures
may stop drugging himself with harm
ful patent medicines, secure what I
believe is the quickest-acting restora
tive, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING
remedy ever devised, and so cure him
self at home quietly and quickly. Just
drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Rob
inson, 4810 Ludk Building, Detroit.
Mich., and I will send you a copy of
this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary
envelope free of charge. A great many
doctors would charxe $3.00 to $5.00 for
merely writing out a prescription like
this—but I send it entirely free.
NOTICE
The regular annual meeting of
shareholders of the Mecklenburg
Building & Loan Association, for the
election of Directors and such other
business as may come up, will be held
in the office of the Association, Base
ment of Trust Building, on Tuesday
evening, January 10th, 1911, at 8
o’clock. A. G. CRAIG,
6-5t Secretary.
The News noted last week that Mr.
F. B. McDowell had had 500 pamp
hlets bearing on the Mecklenburg Dec
laration of Independence printed and
was sending them broadcast o’er the
land. The News is the richer for his
patriotism and kind remembrance. Mr.
McDowell has received letters from
many prominent men of the state ex
pressing their approval, and apprecia
tion of the pamphlet as a historical as
set of the state. Yesterday’s mail
brought the following which is of
state-w^ide interest:
Henderson, N. C.
January 4, 1911.
Hon. F. B. McDowell,
Charlotte, N. C.
Dear Mr. McDowell:
I thank you very heartily for the
copy of the pamphelt on the Mecklen
burg Declaration etc., which came safe
ly to hand this morning. I have long
wished a copy of it and have not been
able to find one. I am classed with the
old school historians of the state. I
think I shall not complain so far as
the Mecklenburg Declaration is con
cerned.
I confess to a feeling of impatience
toward tlje new historians. They main
tain a destructive attitude towards
pretty much everything heretofore sup
posed to be creditable in our history.
They liik upon the structure as wholly
antiquated and out-worn, and approach
it with “a brand for burning but nev
er a hammer for building.”
I wish you would devote more of
your leisure to North Carolina stud
ies and give the result to the public.
I greatly enjoyed the two pamphlets
you sent me some years ago.

HunieisvUk To
Have Next Meet
The Jlecklenlturg r*arniers’ Union
will hold its next monthly meeting in
the Huntersville High School auditor
ium on the first Saturday in Febru
ary.
That place was chosen for the next
meeting on Thursday at Sharon, where
as already stated in The News, the
various townships of the county .sent
their delegation. This policy of hold
ing the county convention at other
points than the county court house
w’^as determined upon at the la?t meet
ing of the county union at the court
house before Christmas. It w'^as done
with the hope of arousing greater in
terest in the Farmers’ Union by briag-
ing the people of the county in contact
with the leading farmers of the county
and allowing them to become more
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
the union by first-hand acquaintance
with its personnel.
The idea of the union is a happy one
if the meetings to be held at other
points in the county are as successful
as that held at Sharon Thursday,
Those w'ho attended say that the Shar
on meeting was successful from every
view^ point and that the plan of hold
ing the county conventions w'ith local
organizations will likely become a per
manent plan of the union.
