Their grace and beau ty, their delicate, diaphanous quail ties, never have failed to Impress us Compared with other adornments of a womai, they assume supreme lead ership. Harmonizing with wealth and elesance, they are the sum and sub stance of exqplslt« fashion and are particularly popular with those who nave no reason to consider their pock- etbooks. They are particularly con spicuous in large cities, where riches flow unchecked and w^here every whim, no matter how extravagant, is gratified. When we study an aigrette on the head of a woman, the combination seems entirely appropriate, and the objectionable features of it do not occur to us until we learn something of the aigrette’s history. When we know that each of them marks a piti ful tragedy; that cruelty and death lurk in every strand of their feathers, and that greed and rapacity and ut ter disregard for all kindly emotion accompany them from t^e brd to the bonnet, we are amazed that they should find a place in any wardrobe. Professor T. Gilbert Pearson, secre tary of the -National Asociation of Audubon Societies, is quoted by the New York Herald as saying: “The pure white aigrette, which brings the high price, must come from a bird freshly killed and it must come from a bird freshly killed and it must come from a bird at breeding time, be cause this beautiful curved feather does not grow at any other time ni the life of the brd. Therefore, when the bird is killed the young must be lett helpless and to starve to death. The storv of the snowy heron Is a story ot rapacious persecution. It is hardly pos sible that any woman of today whose husband or father is well enough oft to permit of her indulging in aigrettes- Misses Sara and Maujer Moseley were the hostesses last evening at a delightful party in honor of Misses Margaret Dewoody, of Pine Bluff, Ark., and Laura Hearne, of Albemarle, who are the guests of Miss Harriett Orr. At 4 o’clock a reception was held and was followed by a dance which lasted until after 12 o’clock. Both house and lawn were attractively decorated for the occasion. Dainty refreshments 4,were served.

The attractive home oy Mrs. Ben Smith, on Poplar street, was the scene of a delightful affair Thursday after noon—a silver tea by the Hospital Aid Society, with Mrs. Smith ^s hostess.

And it is hardly conceiv able that any woman so knowing should wear such ornaments. But go to the theatre, the opera, the Laster parade, the hotels, the fashionable shopping streets, and you will see the aigrette. It is everywhere.’’ In her eagerness to cultivate the beautiful, to adorn herself in costly raiment, woman follows the law of her nature, a law that finds exi^es- sion in attractive clothes, dainty bon nets and pretty shoes. A dead bird on her glossy hair, with its glass eyes staring eternally in one direction, a mute testimony to the inhumanity or man. appeals to her as no travesty on the goodness of her heart, and not once in a million times does she think of the suiering which her fash ions entail. Her thoughtlesness, how ever Is no just excuse. If she would ct in all things in acordance with the real attributes of her dis^sition she will find no pleasure in the pa rade of lifeless creatures o’* ^^en- cles for the promotion of her beauty. —Roanoke Times.

The sum of $45 was made. . Last week, in the pretty little city of Asheboro, there was celebrat ed two events, the most memorable, socially si^eaklng; ever known in that section of the state—the golden wed ding of Colonel and Mrs. Alexander C. McAlister, of Asheboro, and the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. James Edward Carson, of Charlotte, tne latter the elder daughter of Col. and Mrs. McAlister. Golden and silver memories of the 50 years, and of the 25 years com memorated, made an atmosphere fra grant with sweet thoughts precious to each and all there present with suggestiveness of the happiness of this ideal family and ideal home. The McAlister family and the Worth family in the perfect union of a half a century ago—so beauti fully commemorated last week—has been one of the most prominent,most potential, most dominant influences in the social and religious life of this state. Of traditions, than which there are no loftier, no purer, no more beautiful, the McAlister and the Worth families represent the highest religious and social life of this' state. The joint celebration therefore of the golden wedding—50 years of as perfect a union as earthly love can know, of Col. and Mrs. McAlister, and the silver wedding of their son ,and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Carson, was an event of statewide interest. The McAlister Home. The McAlister hoi^, famed for its culture, its refinement, intellectuality of its people,, its hospitality—mindful ever of the stranger that is within the gates—and its earnest piety, wit nessed the gathering within its spa cious halls and rooms last week of the family connection of the McAlisters, Worths and Carsons, and a few most intimate friends. Golden and silver lines of affection drew them to this lovely home, and happy he or she who formed part of either the golden or silver circle. The loveliest of flow ers—the magnolia and mountain lau rel—bedecked the house. Stairways and halls were redolent with this fra grance, while roses red and pink and white, from Mrs.^ McAlister’s garden filled the spacious rooms. The special form of celebration of the two wedding anniversaries was wedding dinner planned on the elabor ate scale and sumptuousness of the hospitality of the old plantation life of.,the south, a hospitality so beautiful, so perfect that it has been the theme of song and story the world over. Such hospitality was found—and is found always—under the McAlister roof by the guests of the golden and silver wedding anniversaries. The Wedding Dinner. Three long tables extended the length of the Colonial dining-room. One of the tables was the gold table, one was the silver table and the other was the grand-children’s tables. The gold table was ladened, florally, with Marshal Neil roses in gold baskets. Yellow satin ribbons and tull and yel low candles in gold candlesticks fur nished the rest of the adornment. At the head and foot o ftl^is table sat the bride and groom of ’61 with friends of their youth. The bride’s cake was traced in gold lettering—A. C. McA,—A. C. W. 1861- 1911. The silver table was as beautiful in its silver effect as was the gold in its golden beauty. White roses were used in silver baskets; silver candle sticks, white tapers and silver shades and cakes iced in white and silver formed the decorative features. The bride’s cake was ornamented with silver lettering J. B. C.—S, T. McA. 1886-1911. At this table sat Mr. and Mrs. Carson and the friends ot The house of stand.” ^ —Proverbs 12-7.

Cambridge, Mass., May 27.—The speed, strength and stamina of the qualified athletes of the Eastern col leges were eJierted to fhe utmost to day in the championship events ol the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the intercollegiate amateur athletic asso ciation of America, in the Harvard stadium. Yesterday’s preliminary tests which reduced the original field of nearly 500 entrants to the athletes- who com peted today, had given Pennsylvania and Yale the services of 14 qualified men each and Cornell 10 men, in ad dition to ^ the respective entries of these colleges in the mile and two mile runs. While qualifying only the same number of men as Yale, Pennsylvania actually fared better up to the semi finals and finals today. Athletic fol lowers saw the days fight for the championship narrowed to Pennsyl vania aad Cornell, with the chances for victory favoring the former. New records and keen competition were expected in both the mile and two mile runs and the 22 points rep resented In the two runs were early regarded, as being the ones which would have most to do with determin ing the winner of the championship. Other marks also were considered shaky, including those for the dashes, threatened by R. C igan, the shot put, in which stocky .Toe Horner, of Michigan, was the favorite and in the pole valut, which Gardner, of Yale, was expected to clear at a new record height near the long awaited 13 foot mark.
