The winter term of the Pinehurst School has now begun, Mr. Philip Llewellyn Lightboiirn, who has been as sociated with the fchool for several years past, first as assistant master and latterly as Head Master, continuing in charge. Mr. Lightbourn is a graduate of St. Paul's, Concord, and Trinity Col lege, Hartford, receiving from the latter the B, A. degree, with honors in Latin and Modern Languages. The assistant teacher, having the care of the Primary Department, is Miss Molly E. Abbe, who succeeds Miss Anne Louise Hay. Miss Abbe, who is a teacher of considerable experience, held with much success during the past season the position of assistant in the intermediate grades, winning the esteem and friendship of both parents and pupils. One of the features of the school which especially recommends itself, is that its work is primarily individual, the aim being to meet the special require ments of the pupils in order that they may continue here without interruption work begun elsewheie, and be able to return to their home schools without the unpleasant necessity of dropping behind their classes. They are not required, as must so often be the case in other schools, to discontinue their previous work and commence a praetically new line of study. Thus any objection to a change of schools on the ground that time will be lost is overcome. The only requisite is that pupils bring their own text books and a teacher's general out line of work to be done during the period of absence, and parents may rest assured of results. In this particular the school is unique, meeting a special need which exists heie, and satisfying the requirements of those who come for a week or for the season. In connection with the school are three regular departments, Primary, Inter mediate and College Preparatory, each under efficient teachers. In the event of a Kindergarten being required an ex perienced teacher has been engaged. Particular atteiition ia also given to private tutoring. This method of in struction for older pupils was so much in request last year that the Head Master purposes making additional pro vision for it this season, believing it to be unusually suited to Pinehurst, where outdoor interests claim as much time as possible. The Village offers unequ died conditions for outdoor life, riding, golf, tennis, etc., in a winter climate which is ideal and in an environment which is helpful and an education in itself. For pupils whom a change of climate during the winter months seems desirable and for those children whom parents desire to have with them during their winter sojourns, the school plays an important part in the equipment of the Village. In the belief that music has a recog nized place in a liberal education, ar rangements have been made with Mr. W. B. Munroe, the leader of The Carolina orchestra, whereby it will be possible for those who so desire, to obtain lessons on the piano and other instruments from skilled musicians. This opportunity will appeal to parents who wish their children to commence the study of music, or, if they are already to a certain extent pro ficient, to continue their studies under professional guidance. It will also com mend itself to those persons, who, while they come to Pinehurst primarily for health and recreation, feel, nevertheless, a wish to devote a small portion of their time regularly to some favorite pursuit of a more seriou character in this in stance the study of music. The school building is thoroughly complete in every detail, possessing among other advantages, an excellent steam heating system. . County School Opened.

The purchase of something over a hun dred new books for the Village Library adds to the attractiveness of this cosy retreat over which Miss Elizabeth Olney presides so faultlessly. 9llm Olney' library Talks. Plans are already making for the u-ual series of "Library Talks" to be given at the Village Library during Febtuary and March by Miss Olney. with pleasure of his marriage to Miss Nellie Smith Fulton of Washington, D.C., where Mr. Turner has been located with the St. James hotel, for several years past.

The advertising men are planning their annual golf tournament upon January 13, 14 and 15, immediately after the Mid winter contest. A wealth of trophies will be offered, and in connection with the tournament events there will be the usual special contests and social features with every indication of a record attendance. "ANY BAEIIALLf-TES! One Ag-aln Old nival Will Battle on the Vlllare Diamond. "Any baseball?" Well, I 'guess, " Fine ! " The same old teams with new members and fast, will fight the same old battles on the Village diamond in the presence of the same big crowds of in terested "fans;" two games a week, rounding out the season's schedule. And when it comes to real enthusiasm you'll find it right here, for it's your team that's playing they're your " boys " and you sit on the edge of the grandstand seat with your eyes glued to the field, or rise and wave your hat madly and yell yourself hoarse, just as you did in the good old college days ; wandering " home " rejoicing or sulking, but feeling good all over just the same! The various squads are now being worked out carefully for it means some thing to "make the team" here, and from time to time, previous to the regu lar program, the rival aggregations will cross bats in anticipation of struggles to come. Aud these games will be some base ball, too ! Uow Dom He Do 1(1 The first thing you wonder when you visit the Handicraft Shop is where and how Manager George F. Fosdick gets together such an attractive array of novelties, but the fact remains that he does and then you begin to wonder how he contrives to make the exhibit more and more attractive year after year. This season the entire world has been drawn upsjn to mae up the display and evidently if there is anything artistic and worth having it has been secured, a great deal of the stock of that exclu sive character which only those on the "inside" are able to secure, because the supply sent to the American market is invariably spoken for months before it is shipped. Sir. Warren II. Monroe Ileturns. The return of Mr. Warren B. Monroe as leader of the Village orchestras, is a welcome announcement to all, for never has the music been more enjoyable than under Mr. Monroe's leadership last season. Plans are also being made for a renewal of the musical causeries which proved such a delightful feature. Mr. Monroe will be at The Inn until the opening of The Carolina and thus early the usual concerts and dances are being enjoyed. Assisting Mr. Munroe as leader of The Holly Inn orchestra is Mr. Charles Lit tle, formerly at the head of the Brock ton City Theatre orchestra, one of the best in Massachusetts.

Its remark able softness is compared with rain water by experts and its beneficial effects are generally recognized by the medical profession.
