Impossible. what is Alaska sable?” ‘Well, it's the polite natne for a dead skunk, Robbie.” “And, mother, is there any polite name for a live skunk?” High Point* Atig. 19.—In the large functions of the week hav« been made noticeable by their scarceness, caused by the usual lull after a round of gaities going hand in hand with house parties—they have also been conspicuous for their largeness from every standpoint, and among the^ latter there ranks first Mrs. L. J. Ingram's reception of Thursday af ternoon, some 200 guests called in acceptance of the cards sent out, and which bore the name of Mrs. J. Al bert Hart as the honoree. Mrs. In gram, though yet young, has at two different times been hostess at recep tions given brides of the home—her sons wives—and her art in this espec ial mode of entertainment was sufB- ciently well known to inspire much interest, and when coupled with the name of this second daughted of the home who by right of her beauty and youth, her bright mind and endearing ways, is universally popular, and her recent romantic marriage to Mr. J. Albert Hart, formerlly of Henderson ville, but now one of High Point’s most excellent young pharmacists; the keenest enjoyment was antici pated. but even ail of this did not whisper of one of the main portions of the reception which was a secret to all except a “chosen few.” The hours were 4.30 to 6:30 and during that time hundreds w^ended their way in and out of this hospitable home on Elm street. The “U” shaped veranda was In sistently inviting with draw’n shades, making a dull, restful background for the decorations roundabout of lighter shaded vines, and quantities of gold en glow, resembling so closely the bright yellow senecio of the moun tains. All in and out of the railing round the veranda their quaint little faces w'andered , and found a spa cious foot hold, and according to the heights of their stems found a loca tion in the vases on the wicker stands distribtited on pretty rugs at the turns ®f the veranda, and almost enveloped the punch table in the north end of the veranda to which guests were directed b.v Miss Kate Ingram, who gave a glad welcome at the turn of the veranda. The re freshing orangeade was served by Misses Mary Alexander and Cora Pitts. Rich and red roses in handsome vases adorned and made fragrant the reception hall w'here Mrs. W. B. Vail and Miss Minnie Alexander re ceived and directed the way to the parlor made beautiful with its ar rangement of brides* roses and as paragus fern and where the receiving line of the following stood: Mes- dames D. J. Ingram, J. Albert Hart, Fred Ingram, Charles Ingram, James F'arriss and Mis Ada Robinson, of Greensboro. The invitation to the dining room was given by Misses Vera Idol and Blanche Shattuck, and Mrs. D. C. Pollock, presided over the dining room, assisted by Misses Lou ise Ingram, Violet Johnson, Emily Brooks and Winnie Vail. The color scheme of yellow and green was used with beautiful ef fect and both decoration and menu. The yellow aster was mingled with a lavish hand of smilax and the glow from yellow candles made promi nent the design followed. Music from the Blind Boys or chestra came from the second hall which led the w’ay to the library where amid pink roses and ferns Miss Irwin Paylor and Mrs. S. Per ry presided over the grape juice bowl. Passing out the following cards were presented by Misses Berta Ragan and Helen Brockett: Miss Kate Wilhelmina Ingram Mr. De Conroy Pollock October 4, 1911.

Linville, N. C. \ Durham | t t Durham, Aug. 19.—Durham society has had to be content this week largely in long range interest, the marriage or President William Pres ton Pew, of Trinity College, to Miss Mary Reamey Thomas, of Martins ville, Va., being the item of greatest concern to everybody here. It has been withal such an unex- pect event that no suggestion of it reached the papers until a week ago. Though the bride was a student un dent under the bridegroom, at which time their friendship began, the ro mance appears to have been saved for a later trip abroad when relations became more deeply interesting to both. Their return to the city in a few days is awaited with great inter est by people here. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Cheek were hosts to their families and nearest neighbors Thursday evening at Lake wood Park where they served the most sumptuous supper ever laid out there. Capt. A. J. Honeycutt and Capt. A. T. Godwin, popular railroad men, are in the far West for a week or two, the two. having left the early part of this week for Asheville, Chattanooga, Memphis. Kansas City and California points. They will be there until some time next week when they return. Though Durham society cannot properly be called a^ participant in it, the greatest social activity during the last two weeks of August is In the advocacy of the farm life school, chief of whose good features Is ac claimed the social life on the farm.

(From the Newbery Herald and Neds.) The News and Courier carries a good editorial on “The Spitters.” and‘says: “There is no reason why men should spit in public places. It is quite annoy ing to other people, and i& unsanitary.” The News and Courier says there ought to be laws against it, and no doubt the News and Courier is correct about this. A number of cities and towns have ordinances and laws, against spitting on the sidewalks and on the floors of public buildings, but, like a great many other ordinances and laws, they are dead letters. In the state of Massachusetts they have law's prohibiting spitting, and if it is un sanitary to spit In public places and on the sidewalks, why should it be sanitary to &pit at all, and why not pro'hibiti spitting altogether, just as they have done in Massachusetts? Didn't Think it Was Permissible. “I think,” said Mrs. Oldcastle, "that our minister is going too far. Did you hear his, sermon last Sunday?” “Yes,” replied her hostess as she finished sealing a letter to her daughter, the Duchess of Ramshead. "Both me and Joslah put in $50 bills when the contribution was taken.” “I don’t like the habit he has fall en into of anathematizing the rich.” “Mercy! I hadn’t heard about him doin’ that. I didn’t think anybody was allowed to anathematize people unless they had appendicitis or something.” Do Not Take Your Jewels When You Go Away, You May Lose Them We have a very large and secure safe and can keep your Jewelry and put it in order while you are taking ' your vacation.
