But really, you blame anyone for taking a v.otf in this wonderful fall weath fc' j * ♦ * Is Autumn really a succession j : • melancholy days in which parch-1 ni meadows proclaim the inevitabili- i • y of death as one American poet' lefully sang? Is it not, rather, a ( vl ! son of pleasant reverie when me 1 .- . w memories play before us even j a- the spirits of departed Indians: : ve said to dance in the Autumn twilights? The latter conception of j Indian Summer has also been im mortalized by a living American poet artist who is already famous, j \nd there was much in last week's! Courier that justifies his picture. * * » For Editor and Mrs. Alcock, who t.n the week end enjoyed a short vacation at Columbia, a wealth of itumn "beauty was on hand. T*ie ~.e p blue of the daytime sky was broken only by the fleecy clouds that m ved like phantoms from horizon to horizon. Thin mists and bits of .moke curled lazily heavenward from nowhere. Wigwams built of golden corn, set in gardens gleaming with yellow pumpkins reflected against the glorious noonday sun. And that night! The moon, never so regal as in the Autumn, majestically moved from behind a curtain of clouds o view the courtly setting Nature pro vided Mr. an& Mrs. A 1 cock for their trip. * % * To Mrs. Thama Jones, Autumn will never again be a season des pair. Greatly improved, as the local news tells, after her operation. She will always regard the autumn days of in a favorable light. These are days in which health, strength, are returning. These "h.ve the days which are bringing new ambitions and hopes fur their realisation. These re days oi life and happiness ris ing from the deep sloughs of des pondency. * * * Plea-ant, indeed, it is to have been born rn the fall *uf tire year, a.- Mrs. E. "E. Sherrill, of Bethany, whose anniversary was celebrateo last week, will agree. Not only is the '"ather such as to make the atten dance of friends at the party almost a certainty, but in no other season of ti.e year can old "Injun" -summer torn right inco the roam and iaKe its j.'lace with, the other >ys therein.

April's rains cannot produce the gwyety that gushed •"itn at the shower tendered Mi's. Frank G. Allen at the home of Mrs. -b II Randall. That was a shower g !ts bestowed upon a bride by her loving friend*. Much mt>re valuable are those gifts than they would have been had the recipient purchased ' it! for herself. Besides its own A, rth, each present told Mrs. Allen secrets. First, the choice of a '*'■ • t expresses to a great extent the character of the giver. Second, the j • '•i'P.v bride can tell from their pre-j how each of her friends re-j her future. For instance, if; iirought a collander, a cake pan j chafing dish, she must expect; ride to be proficient in tne ; "'•' en, having the comforts of her 'and always in mind.
