Has Delightful Meeting.
One of the most delightful. nitot
in vs of the sea.on Was that of the
Afternoon Division No 1. of the Wo
man’s (hih which was hold in the
Club Room on Thursday afternoon
at three thirty o'clock. The rooms
were lovely with their valentine de

dahlias and white narcissus bains
used with ferns for the vases and
bowls placed on the pinna and tab
les. The hostesses who were most
charming wore: Mcsdamos Earle

Leader of the afternoon was Mrs.
Orin Hamrick and the subject was
“Man of Mystery in Asia." The Life

subject being “Life In the Plains.”
At the conclusion of the program the
most delicious refreshments were
served tiic valentine suggestions nnd
shapes being used most perfectly in
the enjoyable viands. A committee of
three volunteered to sell tickets for
the play to be given soon under the
auspices of The Woman's Club. Miss
Bertha Bostick and Miss Dorothy
Me Knight furnished beautiful mus
ic for the members playing two love
ly instrumental solos.

You never notice how narrow-mind

considerable broad-mindedness.
Youth is when you think men old

Don’s Triumph
(Written Especially, for The Star
by Mrs. A.. V. Washburn)
“Please mother, let Don go” plead
ed Harry.
The Ini' touring ear stood in front
of the house equipped lor a journey,
wifcli tent, fishing tackle, rifles, cook
ing vessels etc. The Smith’s were
ready to start on their way to the
mountains for their vacation, where
they would camp in the woods and
fiend two delightful months rest
ing and roaming in the wood-lands.
Father, mother, twelve year old
Harry and little Bessie Sue were’
standing at the curb. Tears were
gathering in Harry’s eyes as he an
xiously repeated his request—“Oh!1
mother do let Don go with us”.
It had been decided that Don, a!
pretty yellow collie belonging to j
Harry, should be left with a friend
while they were away on their vaca- j
tion.
But as mother glanced at the col-j
lie who was capering around them |
and by his sharp rapid barks seem- j
ed to be begging earnestly to be tak
en along. Realizing the pain arid j
loneliness her son would suffer!
should the collie he left behind she
grudgingly consented for him to ac
company them, provided a place
could be secured in the already
crowded car.
“Oh! Don’s not particular. Arc
you old fellow?”d Harry questione
as the dog leaped to the running
hoard of (he now slowly moving au
to.
"Just wait, mumsie” Harry declar
ed” Until we get to the mountains,
Don and 1 will bring in a big bear
for dinner, then you will be repaid
for letting him come along.”
Mother smiled indulgently, and re
marked somewhat dryly that about
all she expected from his Highness
was to consume a dozen or so bTs"
cuits each meal with any other edi
bles he might chance to find.
“Now, mother,” remonstrated Har
j ry”. Don’t condemn him so early.
He's only a puppy. In clue time I am
sure we ll all be quite proud of Don.”
Mother laughed. “Oh! no doubt”
she added flippantly.
All day the patient collie firmly
kept his place on the speeding car.
Jut as the sun was setting their des
tination was reached.
At the foot of a big shaggy moun
tain they pitched their tent and
| cooked supper. Everything tasted so
good to the hungry party. And Don
quite lived up to his reputation ami
ate his supper in u very greedy and
undignified manner.
After a good night's rest and an
! other hearty meal in the cool, brae
|ing air they were ready for aa maun
'.tin climb.
I)on went rushing on in front
chasing birds, squirrels and rabbit:-,.
Once, in jumping for ti red-bird, a
branch broke under liis weight and
he plunged headlong into a [tool of
water.
With Harry's assistance he strug
gled out, looking very forlorn and
ashamed, as if to say ”1 am very
awkward, as you see.”
The days passed swiftly by, days
full; of fun and frolic. They fished
hunted and explored the nearby caves
and mountains. The children were
getting rosy faces and hardened
muscles from the active out-door life.
Father’s fare had lost that’strained
tired look and mother was looking
like a girl again. Don, too, was im
proving. He was growing less awk
ward and ungainly.
One day as Hart., and Don came
in from a hunt. Mother teasingly ask
cd for the promised “Roar.”
"We haven’t found it yet, “Harry
explained.” “But Don is sure to do
something great and noble. Just look
at. his intelligent eyes.” “He almost
caught a chipmunk this morning,
mill mother, ho really hid kill a
".akt\ Me shook it and shook it until
it was as dead as dead could he."
There remained only three days of
the happy vacation. One morning
father and the children started for
Grandfather Mountains some three
miles away. On account of a swollen
foot, Don was left behind.
Mother stayed at the camp to fin
ish a hook in which she had become
intensely interested. As the morning
air was chilly she went inside to re
sume her reading. After reading for
some time she became drowsy and
leaning back in her camp-chair
which was sitting in front of the
tent door, she fell asleep.
She was suddenly awakened by a
whirring sound on the floor near
her feet. At her first look she was
frozen with horror. Just at her feet
lay a large rattle snake, coiled, with
his head in the air and his fiery
tongue darting about. It had evi
dently crawled into the doorway,
where the morning sun was shining
brightly, for a nap. Mrs. Smith had
doubtless struck it with the toe of
