Concerning a Wedding.
When should a wedding be announc

How’ soon are invitations sent out?
How shou|d a bridal party enter tlie
church, consisting of two flower girls,
a page to carry the rrng, a matron of
honor, a maid of honor, the best man
and six ushers?
MINNIE BELL.
The customary w'ay to announce an
approaching marriage is through the
society column of your paper. The
invitations are issued between two
and three weeks before the ceremony
is to take place. The w’edding party
goes up the aisle in this way: rirst,
I he ushers, then the ring bearer, fol
lowed by the fiower girls, then the
maid of honor, ne.xt the matron of
honor and last the bride, alone or on
her father's arm. The best ma nand
her father s arm. The be&t man and
from the vestry and await the others
at the altar. The couples walk about
six feet apart and vei'y slowly. A
careful rehearsal should precede a
church wedding, with the clergyman
and all the bridal party present.
Decidedly Not.
Will you kindly answer through the
columns of paper, please:
In sending out Invitations for a
luncheon and requesting an answ'er,
should [ on day of my luncheon re
ceive a lady's visiting card through
the mail, having not written regret or
acceptance on it?
“PUZZLED.”
Your guest should have replied at
once to your invitation: it was a
breach of etiquette to send a card.
(The
tool;
Some Nuts to Crack.
\Vhy are a merchant and a ship
wrecked mariner alike? Because
both would be glad to see a sail (sale)
in sight.
What are seldom advertised in the
lost and found department'.' Lost op-
pornmities.
What vegetables are most suscept-
tible? Potatoes and turnips, because
they are often "mashed."
Why should a frog never be bank
rupt? Because he always has a green
back with him.
What do We all put off till tomor
row? Our clothes when we retire.
Why should a perfumer always have
money? He is never Avithout a
I s icent.
Have you heard of the terrib’.c ac
cident at the laundry? A shirt was
badly mangled.
Why should photographers be good
climbers? They have many "mounts "
in their business.
Wlia kind of lights did Noah use?
'(■ lights.
A Young Girl's Questions.
Will you publish the following ques
tions? (1) When going to a boy’s
birthday party what w'ould be desir
able to carry as a gift? (2) Is it nice
lo write on colored stationery?
(;!) Please suggest the correct words
when writing a card of thanks.
(4) Should a girl of sixteen go driving
with a boy of the same age, if the
parents do not exactly object? (5) Is
it right for a young man to take hold
of a young lady's arm?
JANETTE.
For a boy much depends upon his
age what you would take as a birth
day present: to be safe. I’ll suggest a
cup and saucer, box of stationery, a
box of candv or a book. Cream or
white stationary is always in good
form, though some people like gray
or pale grayish blue, in writing a
card of thanks I should say, “Thank
you very much for remembering me
with (mention article). I was sreatly
pleased. Cordially yours.
Personally I do not think it good
form for a girl of sixteen to go driv
ing with a young boy alone. A boy
should not take the girl's arm unless to
help her over a dangerous place.

Club Refreshments.
I am coming to you for advice,
though I have never come before. I
am a constant reader of your page
and have benefitted from it. I belong
to a club of young ladies which meets
every mouth. I A'ish to have it at my
home this month and am puzzled as
to what I ought to serve. Ice cream
and c&ke or chocolate and cake is
usually served and I'd like to serve
something di.ferent. Is there any
little souvenir which would be appro
priate I’or the month. FLO.
W’hy don’t you have coffee and in
dividual charlotte russe; or a fruit
salad with nut sandw'iches. For this
month there hav: been many appro
priate hearts, cherries, hatchets, etc.
Next month you could use symbols
pertaining to St. Patrick.
From an Appreciative Reader.
1 know you can help me, that’s w’hy
I write to you. You don’t know' how
much I enjoy your department. I have
cut out and saved nearly all of your
excellent suggestions. So kindly ans
wer the following:
1. What is appropriate to serve for
an after-dinner “spread"—say about
8 o'clock.
2. What can be cooked in a baking
dish besides scalloped oysters and po
tatoes?
3. What could one serve in a bak
ing dish for a little evening lunch?
4. W'hat is appropriate to serve
with rolls and coffee?
0. Kindly suggest a pretty table
decoration — something simple, yet
unique.
CONSTANT READER.
So happy to know the department
is of assitance. For the refreshments
so soon after dinner I would have
only sandwiches, olives, salted nuts
and coffee. You can make all sorts
of creamed things in your chafing dish
—chicken, lobster, dried beef; fry sau
sage and “little pigs in blankets.’’ In
the baking dish you can have scalloped
meats, fish, oysters, etc. A cheese
dish of some kind or grilled sausage
go well w'ith Tolls and coffee. I always
use flow'ers or candles on my table un
less it is a “special” day.
Questions on any subject pertaining
to this department will cheerfully be
answered. A reply will be sent by
mail if stamped and addressed en
velope is enclosed; otherwise answers
will appear in this column. Address,

Com Growers
Prizes Offered
By tht Southtm HurdwaTc Co.
For the Com Growers First
Prize a Majestic Range—Oj
Inteiest to Farmers,
For the purpose of creating a deeper
interest in agriculture among the boys
of this county and incidentally demon
strating that the soil of Mecklenburg
will give returns that will richly re-
!)ay the farmer in proportion to the
skill and intelligence witli which he
tills it, the Southern Hardware Com
pany of Charlotte has offered five
prizes to youthful farmers, aggregat
ing in value $141.50. These prizes are
to be awarded to the contestants who
produce the largest yield of corn from
a given area of ground. The rules
governing the contest are given be
low:
One hundred and forty-one dollars
($141.50) and fifty cents will be given
in prizes as follows:
First prize—A Majestic Range,
$G5.00.
Second prize—A Smith Hammerless
Gun, $40.00.
Third prize—A Cole Combined Dis
tributor and Planter, $17.50.
Fourth prize—A Chattanooga Chill
ed Plow, $10.50.
Fifth prize—A Case of Winchester
Loaded Shells, $8.50.
The above prizes are open for com
petition to any boy,- a members of the
Farmers’ Union, or whose father or
mother is a member, in good stand
ing, and resident in Mecklenburg
county.
This contest will be entirely under
the auspices of the Farmers’ Union
and managed by a special committee
appointed for that purpose, who will
make decisions of results and aw'ard
prizes. ,
The following named gentlemen,
prominent farmers, constitute this
committee: J. B. Clanton, \V. F. Ba
ker and \V. R. Lee.
This committee has divided the
prizes as follows:
First prize, to contestant produc
ing the greatest yield of corn, in
weight, on one acre of measured land.
Second prize, to contestant produc
ing the greatest yield of corn, in
weight, on two and one-half acres of
measured land.
Third prize, to contestant producing
the second greatest yield of corn, in
weight, on one measured acre of land.
Fourth prize, to ctotestant produc
ing the greatest yield of corn, in
weight, on one measured acre of land.
Fifth prize, to contestant showing
greatest economy of production, av
erage cost per iDushel, in weight, of
corn.
A contestant must be not over eigh
teen years of age.
A contestant may have assistance
only in the breaking of his land for
planting.
A contestant must make a report to
the committee, showing character of
his soil, and give crop, if any, growui
on said soil the year previous, when
and how the land was broken; also
kind and quantity of fertilizers used,
when and how aijplied; and time and
method of planting, inode of cultiva
tion, time of “laying-by” and method
of harvesting.
A contestant will be required to fur
nish an itemized statement of cost of
production—all work done and fertil
izers used. The object of this con
test is to stimulate the increased pro
ductions of corn in Mecklenburg coun
ty, and the contestants for these
prizes at once become educators in
this important line of work, and
hence the conservation and dissemina
tion of information of the methods
used and results attained bj’ them are
of the greatest importance.
Any one interested in this contest
can secure copies of this circular from
any member of the committee named
above, at the office of the Carolina
Union Farmer, or at the office of the
Southern Hardware Co., No. 41 W^est
Trade street.
The Fleischmann Cooking
Schools
Everybody knows Fleischmann’s Yeast, but
most people associate the word “Yeast” with
bread-making only. Do you realize that a dozen
or more articles made and baked daily in Ameri-
can homes can be made quickly, easily and better
with Fleischmann’s Yeast than with any other
leaven ?
The Fleischmann Co. has established The
Fleischmann Cooking Schools to instruct the
housewives of America in the use of Fleisch
mann’s Yeast in various kinds of baking and
cooking. These schools are conducted by train
ed Domestic Science Teachers, who give lessons,
by actual cooking and baking in the presence of
their classes, in our traveling kitchens.
Mrs. Sloane, Domestic Science Teacher, and one of owr instructors, wUl conduct
a Cooking School in the Young Men’s Christian Association BuUding, South Iryon
Street, Charlotte, N. C., every afternoon, except Sunday, at 2:30 o’clock, from
February 16th to February 25th, inclusioe.
You are Cordially Invited to Attend any or
all of these lessons. These lessons are free to the
public. Nothing sold or offered for sale.
A copy of Fleischmann’s Cook Book will be
given to each person who attends.
