A printer man was once assailed By Cupid and his heart impaled With love’s keen dart. This printer ran a Linotype, One day he thought the time was ripe To show his heart. He said: “I guess I’d better write, Declare mjself in black and white— I’ll send a letter. But I’m so busy I can’t think, To put it down with pen and Ink- On my machine I’ll set ’er, "Dear Maud”—this way the letter ran— I’d like to ask you, if j’ou can Become my queen? * I love you like agentbnghee.

I love you like Rphnma; -thisiw'orse Thangutman the pthnabethen aht- curse This machine!” The maiden at once understood, As any printer’s love one would, This language dim, A case of “pi” she knew, I trow. Deciphered it: this maiden now Makes pie for him! —The Exhaust Pipe, Chicago. The Mistakes of Life. (Judge Rentone at Bartholomew Club, lx>ndon.) ^ To expect to set up our own stand ard of right and wrong and expect everybody to conform to it. To try to measure the enjoyment of others by our o\^'n. To expect uniformity of opinion in this w'orld. To look for Judgment and experi ence in youth. To endeavor to mold the^ disposi tions of everybody alike. Not to yield in unimportant trifles. To look for perfection in our own actions. To w'orry ourselves and others about what can not be remedied. Not to make allowance for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything imposlble simply because we ourselves happen to be unable to perform it. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. To live as if the moment, the time, ‘the day were so important that it would live forever. To estimate people by some outside quality, for It Is that within which makes the man. ARE IN MAXTON. Mis Beatrice Blake and Miss Eliz abeth Springs, left yesterday for Max- ton to spend Easter. A number of pleasant affairs have been planned for these two pretty girls from Char lotte. “THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.” Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Harry returned from the North yesterday. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Binder, of Philadelphia, and then went to New York for a few days. When Amelie RIyes wrote “The Quick and the Dead’' it was translat ed in New York to read “New York and Ph. adelphia,” but that didn’t mean the social life of Philadelphia, for that, as every one knows, is de lightful.

On a white cloth th^re will be pasted the head of a beautiful child, the children are to be blindfolded and told to pin a paper flower on the head of the child. A prize will be given for the one who best places a flower. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. IF WE HAD A LADY MAYOR. What a dream of a city we will have when the women voters elect women councilwomen and a woman mayor! The streets will shine like the morning and the cobblestones will bloom out in fragrant beauty. Playgrounds will take the place of lumber yards; the ugly, dirty factori es wil give way to beautiful' parks and the fountains will play “Oh, prom ise Me” at every corner. The police- w'oman at the crossing will wave her fan, and wagons, teams and cars will move to the rhythmic beat like an orchestra. The locomotive whistles will be tuned, the car gongs will tinkle like the chimes of the Swiss beilringer, and no automobile horn will past muster until it sounds like a sympliony. Clean streets, clean politics and clean collars and cuffa^they will be among the first deraa^s. The streets must be dustless, the city govern ment graftless. the skies cloudless. Men wil be rlequired to wipe their feet before stei^ping on the sidewalks, and horses will be fined if they kick up the dust. Mirrors at every street corner, free powder puffs and munici pal ownership of hmr-dressing parlors are not at present included In the demands. These things must come gradually. The report that the city ordinances will be crocheted is untrue, and the inclination to lie a sash around the City Hall and surmount the dome with a big butterfly bow will be curbed. The demand for free mov- mg-picture shi.-ws and lemonade foun tains in the rarks will not be urged at preijeat. But reform In ice cream and cheaper chocolate drops are de manded at once. Why should these reforms be de layed by inconsiderable men liolding on to the city government and deny ing women the right to vote? “One-half of us are still in bond age!” exclaims one of the leading sulTragetts orators. It is pathetic to see thes^i bondsia\es gc>4ng through our principal streets clad m silks, sat ins and laces, carrying the burden of the maa's purse in the man’s auto- mobile and spending the man’s mon ey, while the tyrant man is enjoy ing the privelege of digging away In his office or factory. Released from bondage, freed from the galllAg yoke, they fallthfully promise to takoc barge of things and run them. Our cities have too long been run by or dinar y-iooking men, some of whom are not even good dressers. If we had a w^oman for maj'or, the city '.vould have to take a bath and a clean shave every mtirning. It would be kept Weli brush ed, with all the buttons sewed on. You can see the vlFlon of it now—a model city, clean, well-dressed and highly perfumed -:-Baltlmore Sun. THE CHILDREN'S HYMN. Land of our Birth, we pledge to thee. Our love and toll In years to be; When we are grown and take our place As men and women with our race. Father In HeaVen; we lovest all, Oh, help Thy children when they call; That they may build from age to age An undefled heritage. —Rudywd Kipling.

MATER * CO.. 301 No. Tryon St. TRYON DRUG CO. 11 No. Tryon St. In looking voer some papers this w'eek I found this suggestive verse. By whom it was written I know not, as it was merely a slip tucked away in a box. 1 give it that we may all leirn it and try to make it our daily motto for at least a little while. I also give this wonderful little poem. Iwould gladly credit the author, but it, too, ie a waif. I know it will help to inake the dawn of our Easter day more beautiful for the reading and “in wardly digesting:” If you and I—Just you and I— Should laugh instead of worry; If we should grow—Just you and I— Kinder and sweeter hearted. Perhaps in some near by and by A good time might get started; Then what a happy world ’twould be For you and me—for you and me. in Easter Land. Dawn—it is dawn In the Easter land! Far have our caravans come, and w^e Here at the edge of the desert stand, Looking away ^ the joys to be. Aye, it is dawn, and we’ve journeyed far Led by the glow of the Easter star. Who at the gates of the Easter land Bid us good morning and lead us in? Children, a world of them, hand in hand, Palms and processions of lily kin. Enter! Oh, sad was the march, and long— Join in the triumphs of Easter song. All Is forgotten on Easter day— Shadows and learS of the wintry path. Here at the end of a troubled way Fragrant the welcomes the Easter bath , This isr the haven the pilgrims scann ed Dawn — it is dawn in the Easter land. Some one has said that “the pomp and vanities of the wicked w'orld re ceive a terrific drubbing during Lent, but Easter day their recovery is quick and certain.” This is very true. Judg ing by the avalanche of mail that has descended from the most remote vil lages even, asking for all sorts of par ties, for nbvel engagement announce ments galore, showin;; that Cupid has been busy winning hearts. With all these requests Madame Merri trusts she may be fortunate enough to find Just the thing that each reader as-lts for and to every one she wishes the very hapipest of Easters. Easter Sandwiches. Try these for sandwiches during Easter week: Use thin ellces of either white or whole wheat bread; butter and spread with this filling: Two hard-boiled eggs, one-eighth of a tea spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of paprika. Mash the egg yolks smooth^ mix. in the salt, paprika and butter. Spread the bread with butter, then with the yolk mixture, then with the egg whites chopped fine. Stamp out with an oval cutter. On each one stand a wee yellow chick, the kind that comes about a cent apiece or even less. Make a circle or cress or parsley around ; plate and pile the sandwiches in the middle. The Butterfly Motive. A pretty and symbojic conceit is to use butterfly candle shades and place cards for an affair given In Easter week. These may be home made or purchased. A “shower” of butterflies over the table is lovely. They may be made of white paper touched with gilt if the white and gold scheme is to be carried out. Easter Egg Hunt, No Easter-tide is coiAplete for the children without an egg hunt. If the weather permits this should be out of doors. Hide eggs of all sizes and col ors, hard-boiled and candy ones, in every conceivable place. If the party is a large one there should be four prizes, one to the child getting the golden egg (gilded), one for finding the silver egg, one for finding the most and one for the child who finds the egg marked “third prize.” The prizes should be some of the many Easter novelties, or candy boxes filled with candy eggs. A pot of Jonquils or hyacinths is a suitable prize if the winner Is i-bout eight or ten years old. Serve Ice cream, rabbit-shaped cookies and bon-bons. Theije is a very old game called “egg pick” that the children could play after the, hunt. I^se only hard-boiled efegs, a child strikes out with his egg at one held by another child and whose egg breaks or cracks first wins the other egg. If there is a hill conveniently placed, of evtn a slight slant to the ground, there may be an egg rolling on a small scale, such 'as the children ■ ha|d In Washington at the White House for many years. , , , Hoop Race for Easter. A mother of three is going to enter tain at “an all day” Easter Monday party, the guests being seven of the neighborhood children,^ The Invita tions are written' on egg-shaped cards, sealed with a violet paster, or the dearest Easter chick Just coming out of the shell may be found among the seals or pasters, as the children call them’. The ages of the guests range from five to eight years. A third floor chamber is known as the children’s room and it is to be prettily decprfUed with "Bowers and branches of budding fruit trees which have been placed in water for several days, there should be a mass of blossoms on them by Easter. Ten little hoops have been prepared thus, for one of the games, each one was woupd smoothly with a colored tape. The boy who can roll his hoop twice around the room with out letting it turn over will be award ed a bag of marbles, and the little girl who accomplishes the aarae feat wlH have a little doll baby dressed all in white. A substantiss luncheon will be served at noon with Just the prettiest table imaginable, all glorious jonquils, bunnies ahd fluffy yellow chicks, A muaic bo« will plax during the repast. After luncheon the Points on Etiquette. Will you kindly publish items in an swer to the following: When you de sire a second portion of any part of a meal, what^ should be done with the knife and fork? Should they be re moved from the plate until It has been returned? Also, should the spoon be removed from the saucer, when you desire to receive another cup of coffee? If “A” calls on Mr. and Mrs. B” and finds them absent, should he leave one or two cards? Should one use bread or crackers, when soup or bouillon Is served? What Is the cor rect manner In which to use a napkin? C. L S. The knife and fork are placed side by side on the plate and passed with it for another helping; spoon is left on the side of the saucer. “A” should leave two of his cards, one for the lady and one for the master of the house. Crackers are usually served with boullion, or toasted bread. I should say if both bread and crackers are served with it, to take whichever you prefer. The napkin is unfolded at once and laid across the lap, It is never tucked under the chin. Regard ing your last suggestion, I think all that you wish to know, and other, too, would be found in a book of “Eti quette.” If you will send me a self- addressed stamped envelope I will tell you of a new and inexpensive book on the topics you suggest. For a Poverty Social. Please publish as soon as you can how to conduct a poverty sociaL” Also the invitation or program. I find many useful things in your entertain ing column. MARY. For a "poverty” social issue invita tions on brown paper sealec’. with red wax. Use tinware as much as pos sible, old china, broken chairs and candles. Ask i ll to come In old clothes and tell their most thrilling hard-luck story. Serve coffee, baked beans, brown bread, pickles, sausage, potato salad, molasses candy and pea nuts. A Budget of Questions. Please answer through the columns; Is it necessary that I have my calling card every time and every place I call? Is it necessary to serve a lunch in the evening if you have a few friends in? How soon should a formal call be returned and h^w long should I stay? Can I take my two-year-old boy with me? MRS. LONESOME. In returning or making first calls you should leave your cards, but in making informal visits on Intimate friends cards are not necessary. It Is always hospitable to offer some re freshments In the evening, especially if you have asked people to come. You need not have a luncheon, however, Just coffee and sandwiches, chocolate and cake or something In the chafing dish. A formal call should be re turned In two weeks and you should stay fifteen or twenty minutes. You should not take the child with you. Children are lovely but in making for mal calls they should not be in evi dence. Again ‘The Party Call.*’ Will you kindly tell me If party calls are customary and how long after should they be paid, and are they as any other call? AN INTERESTED READER. «A formal function requires a^ party call, and in small places hostesses like to have after calls made within two weeks of the affair. In great cities rules are not so strictly observed. The call Is the same as any other, only it Is polite to mention “how lovely” the eve^it was and how glad the caller was to have been present. Questions on any subject pertain ing to this department will be cheer fully answered. A reply will be sent by mail If stamped and addressed en velope is enclosed; otherwise ans wers will appear in this column. Address, Madame Merri, care Char lotte Dally News. Won Qeclaimers Medal.
