THE PINE HURST OUTLOOK. its glory t about the same time. But both the mayflower and pyxie are getting scarcer and scarcer with us every year now, thanks to the indiseriininating vandals who seem to delight to pull up large quantities of them, roots and all, without any other purpose seemingly than to throw them away again after a short while. "As the season progresses, our woods look like real fairy gardens. Flowers innumerable and in all colors, modest and gorgeous, can be observed until in late fall the gentians bloom and remind us of approaching winter. "To protect and preserve our native plants and trees from useless destruction every effort ought to be made individually and collectively, or many of our choicest gems will soon become memories only instead of being sources of constant enjoyment to all." That KaNcal Pat." The leading entertainment of the week was given in the Village Hall last Wednesday evening, and a large audience gathered to enjoy the excellent program provided under the direction of Manager St. Clair. The opening number was an overture "On Scotch Melodies," which was taste fully rendered by Holly Inn Orchestra. Xext came the one-act farce, "That Kasca 1 rat,' presented by the Pinehurst Amateur Dramatic Union. This piece was a very happy selection. The dialogue is bright and there are numerous ludi crous situations to keep the audience in good humor. The different characters in the play were all well represented. Pat MeNog gerty, a handy servant and typical Irish man from Tipperary, was well repre sented by Mr. St. Clair, whose make-up and acting left nothing to be desired. His appearance on the stage was the signal for applause. The part of Major Pufijacket, the gouty and grouty old uncle who is determined to manage the love affairs of his niece, was taken by Mr. C. E. Kennedy, whose interpretation of the character was well up to the popular conception of such an irascible old gentleman. He carried out all the little details in first class shape. Mr. Charles Baxter as Charles Living stone, the poor but ambitious lover, proved fully up to his part and carried it out in a very clever manner. Laura, the niece of Pufijacket, was very gracefully represented by Miss Esther Byers Smith, who made an excel lent showing and won the approval of all. As Nancy, the ladies maid in love with Pat, Mrs. Barber had a chance to show considerable dramatic ability, and proved herself fully equal to the occa sion. Her love scenes with Pat were very amusing in fact these two made a whole team. The program in full was as follows : Overture On Scotch Melodies Holly Inn Orchestra.

Sharp, were given with the same taste and expression that has characterized their work throughout the season, and were greeted by the audience with many expressions of hearty approval. The readings by Miss M. L. Parker were very enjoyable, the first number, "Zingarella," given in costume, being especially pleasing and heartily applauded. The duet, "Cousin Jedediah" was well rendered by Masters Rich and Rob- inson and the young gentlemen were rewarded by an encore. The entertainments under the direction of Mr. St. Clair are proving very popu lar with our villagers. The next one will take place next Wednesday even ing, when "black magic" will hold the boards. Holly Inn Concert. The concert at the Holly Inn music room last Sunday evening was one of the most artistic of the season, and the fine program was carried out in a very enjoy able manner. The "cello solo by Mr. Sommers was finely rendered, and the pianoforte solo by May Cook Sharp proved very pleasing. Miss Esther Byers Smith was the vocal soloist and contrib uted two pieces in a most charming and effective way! The first, "Jesus Lover of My Soul," was very finely rendered; and the second, "Ave Maria" from "Cavalleria Rustieana," was given in a manner that entirely pleased the large audience present. Following is the pro gram in full : March "Triomphal" Moses Overture "Romantic" Keler-Bela ( a "Beeeenune" Pomjer 'Cello Solo b ''La Fileuse" (Spinning ( Wheel; Dunkler Alfred Sommer.

The interest in the bible class is growing each week and the attendance is large. The Episcopal services were held at 3.15 p. m., as usual, conducted by Rev. Mr. Gregory. The prayer and praise service was held at 7.15 p. m., and as usual drew the larg est congregation of the day. The meet ing was led by Mr. George Marnie and Mrs. Bradbury kindly presided at the piano. Services Last Sunday. Rev. Dr. Thomas preached his fare well sermon in the Village Hall last Sun day morning, as he has been called north by sickness in his family. His discourse proved very interesting and was listened to by a large congregation. The singing by the choir was a very pleasing feature of the seivice. One musical number was omitted, owing to the length of the ser mon, but will be given next Sundav. The Sunday school was very largely attended. There are now two classes for the children and are in charge of Misses Old Folks Concert. It was proposed last season (but too late to be carried out) that the guests at Pinehurst get up an old folks' concert. Such concerts are always popular, and it is hoped that enough voices can be found to make a large chorus. We want old and young (handsome folks preferred, but plain people will not be refused) and have quite a number of names promised. We wish to stage the affair February 7th. Will you help? Prof. Sharp will wield the baton, Prof. St. Clair will be choirmaster, Dr. Hersey and the "Pilgrim" psalm singers of fair repute in the days long gone by will sing a duet. In olden times voices had to be tried before the minister before they could go into the singing seats. You pass no such ordeal now. All we ask is that you sing as near the key as possible; not more than an octave oft" permitted. E. Rogers, Pilgrim. Spelling: Mateli at the Berkshire. Last Tuesday evening an old-fashioned spelling match was held at the Berkshire and proved one of the most pleasing entertainments of the season. The affair was arranged by Miss J. V. Richards who vvas ably assisted by the other guests at the house. Dr. Hersey and Dr. Aberciombie were appointed as leaders and chose their sides, and then then the fun began and continued until all had been bowled over. Miss Ballard and Dr. Aberci ombie held out the longest and were awarded the prizes, photo graphs of "Mammy's Chilluns" and "The Watermelon Boy." Miss Atkinson gave out the words to be spelled. Other entertainments are being talked up at this charming little hostelry and the season there promises to be a most enjoy able one. "Black Waffle." The next entertainment on the Village Hall stage will be an evening of "black magic" by A. C. Butler, and will be given next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Fruit, flowers and other ar tides, many of them borrowed from the audience, will appear or disappear at the will of the magician, and the entertain ment will conclude with two scenes from the caves of the Hindoo Yogi, showing the decapitation and disappearing statue. The program will undoubted prove inter esting and the entertainment should be largely attended. Tickets twenty-five and thirty-five cents, on sale at the Department Store next Tuesday morn ing. All seats numbered and reserved. CHOICE Vegetables will always find a ready market but only that farmer can raise them who has studied the great secret how to ob tain both quality and quantity by the judicious use of well balanced fertilizers.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau St., New York. Woman in Business. "O, if women only had any idea of the value of time, what a lot of business could be done !" This half sigh, half exclamation came from the lips of a very well-known optician with whom I was chatting the other day. "What's that?" I queried, rather sharply. "O, I don't mean you," he continued, hastily; "you're all right." This sounded altogether too much like an answer to the idiotic outburst of the crowd at a dinner or a meeting when it screams in unison, "How's Tommy Thompson?" and then answers itself to its own satisfaction. "listen to that woman beside you," murmured the merchant; "she's been there half an hour." I did so, to this effect : "They will be ready on Tuesday, madam, any time after three." "You'll have them good and strong." "Yes, madam." "Best pebble glasses?" "It's all marked here, madam." "Tuesday, after three?' "Yes, madam." "The others were not strong enough." "These will suit you, I am sure." "You couldn't say Tuesday noon?" "I'm afraid not, madam." The clerk looked longingly at a group of new arrivals who were waiting to be served. But his ordeal was not over. "I told you they were to have no frames?" "Yes, madam ; 1 have a memorandum of it all." His tone lacked enthusiasm, and who can blame him? "Best pebble glasses?" "Yes, madam." "You'll make them good and strong?" "Good and strong, madam." "Well, good day." "Good day, madam." She moved toward the door and re turned. "Did you say Tuesday, after 3?" "Yes, madam." "That's what I thought, but L wasn't sure. Good day." And this time she really went. Polly Pry in New York Herald. At I lie "Small and Early.' Mrs. Smith O! Is that you? I'm so glad to see you here. Mrs. Smythe Really, you Mrs. Smith Yes ; I was afraid at first that everybody would be more fashion able than I. Philadelphia Press.
