THE
SOCIAL
CANTER
By Botts CoUlck, Horse Editor
If you have tears, prepare to shed
them dow. Shakespeare.
Owing to the absence of Vir
ginia Southern , who is still
washing her feet in the Pacific
ocean, the horse editor has been
placed in charge of her depart
ment for this week. Being
somewhat ignorant ef the pre
vailing pastime in . the social
woild, he started out the first oi
the week to call upon the ladies
who trot in her best society with
Iris nose for news accompanying'.
Unfortunately, he found none
of them at home. That is, drum-
ine on the front door failed to
get a response and he tried sev
eral back doors with the same re
sult. Peculiar too. but as he
stepped upon the porches, cur
tains and blinds were pulled
down. At one place he distinct
ly heard one lady say in a stage
whisper, "who is the female?"
Not being a female, he was
much encouraged but the alarm
at the door was unanswered.
At these places where the cur
tains were not pulled - down soon
enough, he discovered that ki
monas are the prevailing style.
At the back doors, observation
leads him to declare that the us
ual spring cleaning has been
delayed.
MISS LONG AND Ml. SHORT WED
The marriage of Miss Lettie
Long and Mr. Siddie Short took
place at high five, Rev. S. Pious
Podd officiating. -Miss Fanny
Farr was bridesmaid and Mr.
Clarence Close best man. The
bride's father gave her away.
He said it 'was the proudest mo
ment of his life and one he had
looked forward to with much
joy for twenty-four years or
since his daughter was eighteen.
The bride was gowned in a crape
de cinnamon colored fluffed cro
chet cotton creation and over
her shoulders was flung an
American flag. Owing to the
non-arrival of the bridesmaid's
wardrobe, she was not dressed
at all. The groom wore the us
ual sign of mourning and walked
bravely to the altar. The bride
has been a member of our
younger set for the past twenty
six years, and once took lessons
on the mandolin. The groom
has a local reputation as he has
always insisted upon looking at
three of a kind when he held
two pair. The happy couple de
parted for East Independence on
a motorcycle and as soon as they
get back will be at home if the
groom succeeds in renting u
house and the number of pres
ents received mukes it possible.
was printed these words, "Vo to
it" and they responded most
promiscuously. After the re
freshments, so charmingly serv
ed, the guests hurriedly departed
as it was supper time and they
were all hungry. '
CLIirULLT ENTERTAINS
Mrs. Jackson Wad Highjinks
entertained in a moet excruciat
ing manner Sunday night.
There were forty invited guests
present and six came that were
not invited, Ihe kitchen was
sweetly smothered with oak
leaves and lettuce so arranged
that the words, "Ce mor.de est
plein de fous" were formed.
The bed in the front room was
covered with the quests' hats,
otherwise there were no decora
tions. Each guest was request
ed to write a poem about th
rose. Miss Tillie Toddle was
warded the prize, a delicious
baby cap all latticed in pink
cheesi cloth. Miss Toddle' po
em was as follows:
A lovely rose I'll place m
Upon some man's breast,
Then he will induce me,
To share his little nest.
Courses at the dinner were
dispensed with and the twenty
seven salads were placed upon
the table all at or,e time. . Every
fusil was given a card on which
REVIVAL MEETING
HITTING THE HIGH PLACES
The musical feature of the
week was the recital by Miss
Caroline Evangeline Scream, pu
pil of Prof. Philander Z. Long
hair. Miss -Screnm's voice is
full of beauty and Independence
will hear much of her whether
it desirea to do so or not. Every
number was encored, a number
of Miss Scream's relatives
thoughtfully seeing to that.
There was one unfortunate oc
curance during the evening.
While Miss Scream w as puling

she unconsciously commenced to
soar higher' and higher and be
fore her instructor could draw
her attention, she had passed
high C and was singing eight
octaves above any music that
was ever written. Prof. Long
hair was fearful lest she had
strained her voice, but he tried

completed and 8he was still in
tune.
