Everybody had been re quested to write a piece of poetry suitable to the day. The guests were all invited into the library where they deposited their valen tines in a box prettily covered in red hearts. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Bradley. The subject for the afternoon was, "Genoa as it was Affected by the Italian Renaissance." An article dealing with the history of Genoa was read by Mrs. Jarl E. Bowers. Then came the reading of the origi nal valentines, which afforded much fun, as nobody knew to whom they belonged. A committee was ap pointed to decide on the merits of these verses, but as there were so many good ones, the two best were submitted to the vote of the guests. Miss Lizzie Smith's verse received the largest number of votes, with Mrs. H. I. Clark's a close second. As a reward for her literary efforts Miss Smith was given a dainty par ty bag and Mrs. Clark's honorable mention. The current topics discussion was presided over by Mrs. A. L. Purring ton. At the conclusion the guests were invited into the dining room. Here the valentine idea was beauti fully carried out. From the chan delier hung a ring of large red hearts and suspended from that was a ring of tiny red hearts. In the center of the table was a vase of red flowers and around this were cut glass can delabra holding red candles. Scat tered over the snowy table were red hearts and Cupids and valentine napkins. The coffee was served from the table presided over by Miss Mary TT Smith. A delicious course was served, consisting of beaten biscuits, cheese straws, olive sandwitches and panned oysters. The hostess was assisted in the dining room by Mrs. E. W. Hall ano Misses Lizzie Smith and Bettie Hill. Quite a number of visitors added much to the pleasures of the after- noon.

Aliscrook-RobersoD. church, was the eldest child ot Mr. and Mrs. Asa Bishop, of Halifax county. At the age of ei?nteen sne was married to H. A. Pope, of Hali fax county. ' ! There are left two sisters, Mrs. Willie Branch, of Enfield, and Mrs. Clara Pope, of Spring Hill, and a son, Mr. Chas. E. Pope, to mourn their loss. For some time she had been in ill health, and the last few months was confined to her room and bed. The remains were interred in the old family burying-ground near by, her pastor, Rev. W. L. Britt, con ducting the funeral service at the home and concluding at the grave. around which had gathered a great number of her relatives and friends. At the home the foundation of re marks by her pastor was based upon the prayer of the Psalmist, So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wis dom." He dwelt upon the wisdom of using common-sense in preparing to meet God acceptably in the short time allotted to man; the same com mon-sense that prompts the man of the world to make proper prepara tions to fit him for the achievements of this life. He then took up Job's lamenta tions of the woes of man and tne fleeting days granted him here, "Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down: he tleeth also as a shadow and cbntinueth not." And with this thought Job exclaimed, "If a man die, shall he live again?" And in the answer to this do the loved ones of our deceased sister find their consolation. As we stood by and looked into the face which time and suffering had furrowed, but now so calm and peaceful, this thought came to us, This life, in the eyes of the world, has not been a brilliant one; no deed, no sacrifice of hers has won the world's applause, but God from His throne in heaven has watched and noted every pure thought, every kind act, every sacrifice and use of her influence for His cause. Perhaps the beauty and influence of her char acter has been hidden from the great outside world, but who can say it has been wasted when we think of the Christian son and daughter and sisters? So faithfully and unassumingly has she performed the duties of her family, her church and her God; so humbly has she tried to follow in the footsteps of the lowly xsazar- .... 1 1 I T ene tnat we ieei assureu ner roue and her crown will be one among the brightest in all that celestial host. We doubt not that in the hearts of her loved ones the memory and in fluence of her virtues will linger like "twilight hues when the bright sun is set." Ella N. stallings.
