The bride tied a sliver turquoise set ring (it was to be a December wedding and turquoise is the etone) to a length of white sa tin ribbon, a solid silver tudquoise set thimble to another, a quaint Chinese coin to one, a beautiful silver tur quoise-studded hand-made button to a fourth and a silver heart and silver key to the others. These she dropped Into the center of the cake in the opening, where each ended with a white cardboard heart on which the monogram of bride and bridegroom was done in gold. After dessert all drew ribbons, and those lucky enough to draw the tokens applied the proph ecy to themselves. The white ribbons and heart monograms made pleasing souvenirs for the others. Another bride had her shower bou quet made in as many parts as she had favors. As she went up the stairs she untied the binding streamers of tulle and drew the parts over the railing, where they were caught by the bridal party. New Version of a Flower Party.

Washington, Nov. 4.—With the shadow of the coming presidential election approaching so near that is is beginning to obliterate m'atters hot pertinent to the big issues. President Taft is looking over the personnel of his cabinet with av lew to determin ing which of his official advisors will be of the greatest service to him in the struggle of 1912. As the date of the national conven tion draws near the voting population is separating the sheep from the goats in the group of presidential pos sibilities. Politicians concede that in 1912 will come one of the fiercest struggles for political supremacy which has occurred for many years. Realizing this fact. President Taft is preparing to intrench himself behind a formidable phalanx of supporters and to build up and organization which will require much to overthrow. In his organization he is placing much dependence on the members of his cabinet. Those closest to the president seem to consider James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, the weakest link on the cabinet chain, because his' vig orous advocacy of Canadian reciproc ity resulted in the loss of much re publican prestige throughout the ru ral districts of the Mississippi val ley which has long been his strong hold. From a political point of view, many statesmen consider that Mr. Wilson’s chief virtue lies in the fact that he has never done anything very bad, and has by a plodding faithful ness won his way into the hearts of the farmers, but in spite of this strength, it is the concensus of opin ion that his stand on reciprocity and the recent Wiley inquiry has resulted in the forfeiture of a large measure of public confidence. As a lieutenant best fitted to han dle the machine end of national pol itick Frank H. Hitchcock, postmast er general, is being relied upon by President Taft to assist in the work of conjuring harmony out of thei hy dra-headed mass of politics which the convention will be. His experience as chairman of the national: xepubllcan committee has given him such ah in timate knowledge of the vlnner work ings of mitional politics th%t ’he will be able to handle the organization leaders with ability. Mr. Hitchcock has the confidence of party l^ders in both the Northern and Southern sections of the country, and despite the fact that his reBignatlon as chair man of the national republican com mittee was in line with an avowed policy of his to break away from machine nplltlcs, the political fore- caters preset that much- of this sort of work is to be thrust upon him. bluing the one man in the cabinet best fitted for'such labors. Secretary of Commierce and Labor Charles Nagel, who is also national committeeman from Missouri, will be valuable asset in. the coming cam paign, being the controlling force which directs republican policies in his state. The fact that Secretary Nagel la at loggerhead#. with t|he German-American alHaace* an organ ization which boasts control of 3,000,- 000 votes has a tendency to reduce the influence, but confidence in his ability to settle this tro^ble to the satisfaction of all concerned has been expressed. Attorney General Wlckershani oc cupies a position in political affairs which presents a problem. The fact that he had no sooner embarked upon his political career than he pro- :he blindfold was removed, " a ho v the honored guest laughed "oen saw the array of worthy ma- ■ •'o-i 1 forgot to say that each ^ ' a l,„dge of offlce pinned on her T right over the heart.

Should both sweet and sour pickles be served? “ANXIOUS.” Set the table exactly as for any supper, with knives and forks, spoons; crackers, if the small soup kind, should be in shallow bowls; if long wafers, pile them neatly on plates. Serve small sour pickles and olives and most people like cabbage salad and tomato catsup with oysters. Have stew, scal loped, creamed in patties or fried, just what you decide is best.

Wake Forest, Nov. 4.—^The confer ence between the Y. M. C. A.’s of North and South Carolina began Thursday night under the most favor able conditions. Practically all the col leges in the two states have sent rep resentatives and some of the most prominent speakers In America have bee’n secured for the occasion. The conference is to last through Sunday and before it is closed such notable speakers as Dr. W. D. Weatherford international student secretary; Clay ton S. Cooper, international secretary for Bible study; A. M. Traywick, inter national social secretary; Dr. W. Ij. Pbteat of Wake Forest College and many other great speakers. The first meeting was held last night when Dr. W. D. Weatheford address ed the conference. An exceedingly large audience greeted the speaker and all were carried away by him. His ad dress was one of the most helpful made here in years. Among the colleges represented are University of North Carolina, Univer sity of South Carolina, Trinity, A. & M Davidson, Clemson, Furman, and Gull ford. All of them are represented by at least five representatives * besides several representatives of the different Y. M. C. A.’s. in the state. Meetings are held every day at 11 o’clock, every afternoon at 5, and every night. Among the prominent speakers here for the occasion are: Dr. W. L. Poteat, president of Wake Forest Clollege. Dr. W.

Do you think we are too young to attend the moving pictures with a boy companion without a chaperon in a small town? How old should a girl be before she hqn boy callers? When a girl is with several of her friends, and a boy whom she thinks a great deal of comes and asks to see her home, do you think it would be right for her to leave her companions and go with him? There is a certain girl who tries all the time to go with our bunch. Sh-s is a good girl, but has no life or fun in her. We do not care to have her along because she holds us down and thus we don’t have such a good time. What would you advise us to do about it?

He was the colonel’s choice for governor of New York a year ago, and is strong in the empire state. Franklin McVeagh, secretary of the treasury, and Walter L. Fisher, sec retary of the Interior, are both high in the good graces of congress, and are considered safe and sane by the people. Consequently they add a much desired conservative strength to the Taft cause. To Mr. Fisher h^ fallen the legacy of the Plnchot-Bal- linger controversy, which raged about the conservation policy of the admin istration last year« With thjs «id the problems of the Alaska coal lands and Controller Bay, Mr, Fisher is in posl tion to take action at any time cal culated to show his hand before the people. It is believed" that the bur den of his speeches when he appears pn the stump for Taft In." 1912 will be “conservation.” Secretary of State" Philander C. Knox, and Secretary Meyer of the navy are expected to support Presi dent Taft behind the scenes taking but little active part in the actual cai&palgn. Secretary Meyer has a rep utation for marked ability In the rais ing of campaign funds, and -If assign ed to this work will be of real value to the national committee. Secretary Knox probably will conduct the end of the campaign devoted to praise of ,^‘dollar diplomacy,” but otherwise will do little stump speaking. From a careful review of the cabi net of President Taft it is seen that he will have no easy labor before him in effecting the organization of a cabinet staff which can be depend ed upon to do team work for his re- election with good results. ’ SEIiW HOTEL ^ROPEAN* Only fixe*i>roof ho^ in Char lotte; supplied entirely with war ter from its own deep well* CAFE OPEN A\.i, NIGHT.

No Skidding No Rim-Cutting No Overloaded Tires Tliiiik of This Combinatioii Tires that cant rim^cut— TiHs 10% oversize— J j Tires with a double-thick^ non-skid tread Tha^a what we now ofiFcr, for wet end wintry weather, in the most p«qpalar Ikes dial were ever creeled—the Goodyear No-Rim-Cat ture*. Such a comlniuitiom when yen know, die facts* is fabiy irresutible. The Three Greatest Troubles Avoided One gfreat tire trouble has been the danger of rim-cutting. Of all the ruined old-type tires, 23% have been rim-cut. . The Goodyear NorRim-Cut tirer—our patented type—makes rim cutting im possible. Out of 700,000 sold to. date there has never been an instance of rim-cutting. Another great trouble has been blow outs due to overloading. Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires are 10% over the rated size, adding 10% to the carrying capacity-r-2S% to the average mileage. These new-type tires, costing no more than other standard tires, have cut tire bills in half for tens of thou sands of motorists. As a result, in the past two years, our sales have in creased by 500%. Now the Third Now we have met, with'these same tires, tl^e third of your great troubles. That is the danger of skidding. Our experts have worked for three years on a perfect GoODj^fEAR No-Rim-Cut Tires WMh cr Wttlwut NoB-SUd TiWa Non-Skid tread. Now it is ready for you. It is an extra tread, as thfek as our regular, vulcanized onto the tire. That means a double tread. The tread is immensely wear-resist ing. It is.made up of deep-cut blocks, gasping' the road surface by count less edges and angles. The blocks are wide at the base so they spread the strain. Their double thickness makes them almost punc ture-proof. The tr^d remains effective until it all wears off. Then out regular tread fat below it. The Ideal Tire This is the best device against skid ding—by far the- best—that was ever put onto a tire. And it goes on a tire that can^t rim-cut—an oversize tire— the most popular tire on the market. Don’t bay a thre lacking all these ad vantages until you know what this tire means.
