On this page appears Twenty-six Separate Bargains, every one worth
reading, for it represents a chance to save money. This is a regular Sun
day feature of THE NEWS and most of the ads will be changed weekly.
These ads alone make mighty interesting reading, but to make it still
more attractive THE NEWS will print each week a silhouette of one of
the advertisers.
Each advertiser is a well known business man or woman and you may
be able to tell who it is at a glance, but to make it easier we print a write
up of each advertiser.

LAST SUNDAY’S PICTURE
ivfr. Thomas Norman has been
in Charlotte but a few months
but he has been a. hustler in
tliat time and the high quality of
his bread, piec and cakes has
attracted people to his bakery at
2'9 West Trade street that he
was quickly recognized by his
picture which appeared on this
page last Sunday. The first to
identify him was Pierce H.
Savin, the next two were W. R.
Stroup and J. R. Link.
The Man You’re
Lookino; For
This gentleman deals in shad
ows. He “sells shadows to sup

Concerning Announcements.
""is an announcement of marriage
(sent by the bride’s mother, with date
of “At Home.” in a distant city, to be
acknowledged by a letter to the moth
er, or to the bride, with good wishes,
etc.? Or is a call on both, w’here pos
sible, the proper acknov.ledgment'
What is the proper a'cknowledgmen’’
of a w'edding invitation, when you can
not attend? To whom 10 write?
PUZZLED.
It all depends upon how intimate
you are with the family from w'hora
the announcement card is received.
The absolutely correct thing in polite
s-ociety is to send your card to the
bride upon the “at home” day mention
ed, or to pay a call in person. It does
no harm to write both a note to thf
bride's mother and also one to the
bride. In regard to a w'edding invita
tion, if it is for a home ceremony, you
must acknowledge it formall yin the
third person, or by a note, according t(
circumstances. If for a church cere
mony no notice need be taken, al
though some very punctilious people
send a card to the bride’s mother,
v.'hich &UOWS that the cards w'ere re
ceived.
who want to will give you remem
brances any way, and those who do not
feel they can afford it or not intimate
enough may sond you notes of congrat
ulations or flowers. Your cards should
bear your full name with the prefix
“Miss” if you are not the eldest or
only daughter; if you u/e, the card
] should read simply “ Miss Hopkins.”
An up-to-date stationer to wiiom you
give your order will furnish the prop
er-sized card.
From One In Sorrow.
Are letters of condolence to be ans-
w'ered? Are tributes of flowers (or
cards of sympathy) to be acknowl
edged by a note or letter?
“ONE IN SORROW.'
It is polite to reply to all the kind
letters that are sent by friends when
in trouble. If not equal to the
task it is perfectly good form to
use your'yisiting card, writing on it,
“Sincere thanka for your kind letter
or the beautiful flowers-” whatever
suits the case. Enclose in card en
velopes and send by post.
To Find Partners.
For chosing partners try matching
animal crackers, w'hich are hidden
throughout the rooms. Matching flow
ers is another pretty way w'hen the
company is not too large to have
enough varieties of flowers. Have two
blossome alike; carnations of all
shades, roses, violets, pansies, lilies,
etc.
Another way is to put the initials of
the first name of the girls in envelopes
and pass them to the men; the cracker
alphabet letters to be obtained from
the large grocery store may be used.
Of course, this method is only of use in
a crowd well known to each other, A
jolly way to pair off is to play the old-
fashioned game of silent “blind man's
buff.” Make a circle, blindfold one at
a time, place in the center with a cane,
then the one the blind man touches is
Inscription for Wedding Ring.
Will you kindly tell us through the
column what is most appropriate to b«
engraved In a wedding ring? And
w^hen should the wedding ring be
given in just a simple home w'edding,
with just the relatives present. I will
be very grateful to you for any in
formation you can give.
L. M. H.
Usually just the initials or first
names- of a couple are engraved in a
wedding ring. Sometimes a i.entlment
like “Until death us do part” or “Al
ways faithful” or some individual sen
timent liked by the couple is put in
also. It is customary to be married
with a ring service, and the clergy
man bestows the circlet at the proper
time.

Suggestions for Tableaux.
Several girls in my neighborhood
want to get up a series of tableaux,
and please sugges-t to us some that

are seven of us, and all girls.
CHUMS.
I think you will find this series of
' pictures called the “Seven Ages of
W’omen” quite to your liking; they
were gotten up quickly and greatly en
joyed:
I The scenes shown were “Infancy,”
a real live baby, hastily borrowed for
the occasion, with an “angel” bending
] over it; “Childhood,’’ which w-as mod-
I eled after Jessie Wilcox Smith’s the
{“First Love;” then the “School Girl,’
with books and slate; “Maidenhood,”
“Wifehood” and “Motherhood” were
followed by ‘Old Age.” Space forbids
giving the details of each picture, but
it may readily be seen how each could
be w'orked out. It is a very simple
matter to have colored lights thrown
on and they greatly enhance the beau
ty of the tableaux. If music fitting
I each scene is played wiiile it is be-
j ing enacted the pleasure is doubled,
I and it is not a difficult thing to do.
' For instance, “Auld Lang Syne” dur
ing the ‘‘Old Age” scene, or “Long
Long Ago;” “the Wedding March’

j When consuming soup Is it proper to
! put either meat or potatoes or any oth

' being served by a w'aitress, is it prop
er to take the dish out of her hand

her hold the dish and you uelp yourself

[has- been paying attention to me for

altar. Would you consider this a pro
posal and let it go at that? Lately
there "was a form.al banquet and ball,
and he did not take me, but took an
other girl, whom he had never been
out with before. This caused great
comment among our friends, and they
wanted to know what had happened to
us. This w’as- a very embarrassing po
sition to be in, and it also cut me very
much. Not long ago a girl friend and

speaking about the ball to her, as she
was going (but not with'him), discuss
ing W'hat his girl was going to W'ear,
and what kind of fiowers she was go

saying to my friend: “I do not think j
I could have chosen a nicer girl.” It
was said in such sneering tone, as

Remodeling The
Camorvan Castk
London, March 18.—Caniarvon Ca;?-
tle, where the first Prince of Wales
v;as born in 12S4 is now undergoin;?
extensive alterations and repairs ii
view of the investiture of the Prince
of Wales there in July next.
For some weeks officials of the of
fice of works, which has control of
the castle, have been In Carnarvoji
making surveys, and Sir Schomberg
McDonnell, secretary of the office of
works, recently met Mr. Lloyd George
—who is the constable of the castle—^
in Carnarvon to discuss the necessary
preparations for the ceremony.
As a result of these preliminaries a
large number of workmen are engag
ed in the castle repairing, excavating
and demolishing. The portions tha:
are being demolished are modern and
are not In keeping with the ancient
character of the building, which was
erected by Edward I. The most im
portant work of the demolition han
been at Queen Eleanor’s Gate, where
a great deal of modern masonry has
been removed, exposing part of the
structiire which supported the draw
bridge, W'hich w'as in use when the
castle was occupied. The young
Prince will st^d at this gatew'ay and
show himself 'to the multitude gather
ed below.
The ceremony of the Investiture will
take place In the centre of the castio
opposite the main entrance, and
great stage will be erected in tiers jto
accommodate about 15,000 people. A
prominent place will be allotted to a
choir of 500, who will give a program
of English and.Welsh music. A suite
of rooms will be reserved in the castle
for the royal party, and w'ill be lighted
by electricity. Paths and passages
are being concreted, and the
worn-out steps leading to the main en
trance will be replaced by new ones,
while the ivy, which has done much,
injury, W'ill be removed from the tow»
ers.
It is probable that some old houses
which were built under the shadow
of the great Eagle Tow'er, where the
first Prince of Wales Is reputed to
have been born and which obstruct
one of the best views of the castle, will
be aquired and demolished. The
whole expense of the alterations is be
ing borne by the oflice of works. Thin
is estimated at etw'een $40,000 and
?45,000.
The date of the investiture has not
yet been fixed. The King and Queen
are anxious to fit in this ceremony
with their engagements to visit Scot
land and Ireland and until the most
convenient method of doing this haa
been determined the exact date can
not be arranged.
A man who has a bad temp^t
always claims it’s somebody else.
