THE V*WS.# DECEMBER 3.191!
Social and Personal
DEAD LOVE.
Two lovers bad I. Now both are dead,
And both are marked by tombstones
white.
The one tianda in the churchyard near.
The other hidden from mortal sight.
The name ou one al men may read.
And learn who lies beneath the
•tone;
The other name is written where
No eyes can read it but my own.
On one I plant a living flower.
And cherish it with loving hands;
f ihun the single withered leaf
That tells me where the other stands
To that wl.lte tombstone on the hill
In summer days 1 often go'
From thi* white sjone that nearest
lies
1 turn me with unsuttered woe.
O, God. 1 pray If love must die.
And make no more of life a part,
Let witness be where all can see,
And not within a living heart.
—May Mathews Adams. .
EvadiiOj Our Responsibilities.
There are times in all of our lives
when the mere thought of additional
responsibility seems more than we
can bear, when we feel that we are
carrying just as much as we can stand
and thai another drop will fill our
cup to overflowing. VYe do not stop
to consider that there are few per
aons comparatively who are forced
to shoulder more moral responsibility
than they can well endure. It Is a part
of the divine plan to apportion our
burdens in proportion to our powers
of endurance, and it is a weakling, in-deed,
who continues to believe for any
length of time that his share of re-sponsibility
is beyond his moral ca-pacity.
It may seem at times that it
requires the most deep-seated faith
10 remain steadfast under trial, but
the faith that cannot stand siieh a
taM If scarcely worthy the tiame. We
are placed in this world to work out
our salvation, and the sorrows and dis-appointments
and tribulations which
responsibility sometimes brings are
but the means to this end. We seem
almost to look upon ourselves as be-ings
of such delicate workmanship, that
the least mental or physical jar will
break us into pieces too small to be
reset, an occurrence which to some
of our ways of thinking, at least.
would prove a calamity to the. world at
large. The fact Is. however, that we
are moulded of too tough a clay not
to be able to withstand the innumera-ble
lar* and breakages which it Is
our lot to i suffer. The Great Potter
knew what He was about when He
moulded us into life, and we may be
stare that He worked Into our composi-tion
those qualities which were ne-cessary
to our future moral and phy-sical
welfare. A sudden shock doea
not necessarily precipitate a catastro-phe,
nor does an actual break mean
the end of everything. The experiences
that either one brings only serve to
strengthen our powers of resistance as
well as those of endurance, besides
making us more self-controlled and
less afraid of what the future may
hold for us.—Editorial Charleston
News and Courier.

LIBRARY NOTES.
.*•♦-♦-♦•♦-♦♦
(By the Librarian.)
With the approach of the Christmas
season comes the problem of the selec-tion
of Christmas gifts) We spend
many hours pondering over what we
shall give our relatives and friends.
Frequently, we decide upon a book,
and congratulate ourselves upon a
happy choice.- But here we are confront
ed with the question of "which" book.
'I he wise selection of books is an art
that few possess, and is dependent
upon a knowledge of the person for
whom the gift is intended, and upon
a knowledge of books.
AY this time of the year, every pub-lishing
house issues attractive pam-phlets
giving annotated lists of Christ-mas
books, and the local book stores
present numerous books in bright
bindings. One is bewildered by the
various titles, and Is more than apt to
come to the conclusion that a book
IT..uires more thought than any other
gift one can make.
We hear frequently of well-intention-ed
\relatives sending a copy of "Pil-grim's
Progresi" to a boy who cares
only for pirates, soldiers and daring
adventures. A man who would enjoy
Mark Twain is presented with Brown-ing's
Poems. A woman is given a vol-ume
of Maeterlinck's plays.sjo whom
"The Rosary" would be a aource of
much pleasure. Such blunderer1 can be
avoided with a little care and fore-thought.
To aid in the selection of* books as
Christmas gifts, the library will Issue
soon in pamphlet form a list of books
for gifts to children, 'these pamphlets
will be free, and can be had upon ap-plication
at the library as soon as they
arrive.
Below is given a list of late fiction
from which selections can be made
for gifts to men, and women, and on
next Sunday a list of biography and
travel wil be given.
Cacheller—Keeping Up With -Us-zie.
Burnett—Secret Garden.
Daviess—Rose of Old Harpeth.
Deland—Iron Woman.
Farnol—Broad Highway.
Farnol—Money Moon. v
Harrison—Queed
Johnston—Long Roll.
Kester—. rodigal Judge.
Locke—blory Of Clementina. •
Lockhart—Me--mith. _
Porter—Harvester.
Smith—Kennedy Square.
Wiggin—Mother Carey's Chickens.
Wright—Winning Of Barbara Worth.
• • •
The Carnegie Library of Greensboro
has Issued a very complete reading
list on Robert Browning. It /.-as
prepared «"or the use during the Brown-ing
lecture course now being given
under the auspices of the literature de-partment
of. the Woman's Club of
Greensboro by Prof. W. C. Smith, dean
of the State Normal and Industrial Col-lege.
Popular election of senators, restric-tion
of immigration, increaaed navy
and parcels, post have been among the
subjects of debates for which the li-brary
has furnished material during
the past week.
• • •
"The Money Moon," a new novel by
the author of "The Broad Highway,"
Mr. Jeffrey Farnol, has recently been
purchased, by the library- It Is a charm-ing
romance, with the usual elements
of a man, a maid, and a summer moon,
but with a rather unusual, but with a
rather unusual setting, and very good
character delineation. How the man
discovers Arcadia and secures it for
his own, is told in a very pleasing man-ner.
It is not as long a book as "The
Broad Highway." but will doubtless be
Just as popular.
• ••
The issue of books for home use
during November numbered 3,089, an
increase of over 500 from that of
last November. The attendance in
the reference and-reading rooms was
1581, the largest number since De-cember,
1907. Even these figures fall
to give any idea of the atmount of
reference work done at the library
during the past month.
WOMAN'S CLUB.
Two meetings—one departmental
the other general—will Interest the
members of the Woman's Club this
week.

THE WEDDING RING
' When a man is incensed is he Insti-fled
in exclaiming: "Holy smoker*
The wedding ring has not always
been the plain circle of gold nowa-days
associated iwth its name, writes
Robert Snowden. In ancient days it
was richly set with gems and worn
on the first finger of the right hand.
The Christian era brought about the
wearing of the wedding ring on the
thfrd finger and the popuplar super-stition
about the "ring finger" says
that a vein runs direct from it to the
heart. ,
The real reason is probably a re-ligious
one. The priest who performed
the marriage rite used to put the ring
first on the thumb saying: "in the
name of the Father," on the first fin-ger
he said. "And the Son," xin the
second, "Aand the Holy Ghost." When
the "amen" was reached with the
third finger the ring was put on to
stay.
NOTABLE SOCIEl
EVENT.
A wedding which will be marked
by quietness, but notable interest, will
be that of Miss Anne Louise Hutchi-son
and Mr. Julian F. Lumraus, Wed-nesday
evening. The ceremony wMl
be performed at the residence of the
bride's mother, Mrs. Andrew C. Hutch-ison,
on West Trade street, at 8:30,
Rev. Harris Mallinckrodt, rector of
St. Peter'a Episcopal church, officiat-ing.
Owing to the family being in mourn-ing
the wedding will be characterized
with simplicity of detail. There will
be no attendants. The bride will be
given away by hem brother, Mr. An-drew
Hiitchison, wT.o arrives from
New York Tuesday morning,
Mr .and Mrs. E. S. Lummus, of Co-lumbus,
Ga., «unt and uncle of the
groom, and their daughter, Miss Mar-lon
Lummus, will attend the wedding.
Miss Lummus arrived-yesterday, Iff.
and Mrs. Lummus come Tuesday.
The bride" will wear a beautiful
gown of ivory satin with elaborate
garnitures of real lace. Immediately
after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs.'Lum-mus
leave on an extended bridal trip.

PAY8 $100 FOR FIRST SMOKE.
Cincinnati. Dec. z.—The price
George T. Poor, a prominent Cincin-nati
attorney, paid for his first cigar
was S100, the money having been
banded over to the Children's Home
for Thanksgiving turkey. When Mrs.
Howell, his grandmother, died, sde
left Poor a legacy on condition that
he would not. taste intoxicating li-quors
er use tobacco in any form
for a number of years. The time limit
has just expired, but Poor declined
to struggle with the ethical question
involved in using tobacco as com-pared
with the*ultimate financial ben-efit
to little children.
"I know that I would enjoy smok-ing
fully $100 worth and am glad
that the $100 goes to a place where
they will train boys not to smoke, it
possible," he said as he sent a checK
in time for Thankseivine.
*HI8 LAST POEM."
"Riley's last poem!" What's that they
say
The papers are printin' about him to-day?
The hand that he wrote 'em with with-ered
and worn.
His eyes seeln' dull through the wid-ows
of morn,
His side - paralyzed, an' him/ fittin'
there
All helpless and lonely-like in his arm-chair?
Riley's last poem? Why, It can't be
the case!
They're surely mistaken! F'um every
old place
The gods would be wingin' to keep him
f'um that—
At least if the gods could be telegraft
at 4
By the thoughts of the thousands of
people he's won
To his heart by the other of his song,
and its sun!
Riley's last poem! No more singin'
fum him!
Di-pen, but there's somethin' amakin'
. eyes dim
Wherever I look round the room, an'
they say
They read it themselves In the paper
today;
And they seem to be dreamin' us
somethin' way off
In the distance, an' clearln'" ther
throats with a'co^ugh.
Riley's last poem! Lord, spare him
awhile
Tr give us more sunshine and give us
more smile;
To bring back old sweethearts, an' sof-ten
OUf*80Ul
With dreams of Aunt Mary's, the old
swimmin' hole,
An' poor Orphant Annie, the* hired
*• man, too. -
And make it forever and ever untrue!
RHey's last poem! Well, his last and
hi; first
Are both sweet as heaven, an' sweet-ly
they'll burst \
Around us forever whenever we see.
That shadow out there, with his «an<L)
on his knee,
His poor withered hand, with those
fingers—no! no!
It's not Whitcomb Rlleyjit cannot be
. so!

6 THE V*WS.# DECEMBER 3.191! Social and Personal DEAD LOVE. Two lovers bad I. Now both are dead, And both are marked by tombstones white. The one tianda in the churchyard near. The other hidden from mortal sight. The name ou one al men may read. And learn who lies beneath the •tone; The other name is written where No eyes can read it but my own. On one I plant a living flower. And cherish it with loving hands; f ihun the single withered leaf That tells me where the other stands To that wl.lte tombstone on the hill In summer days 1 often go' From thi* white sjone that nearest lies 1 turn me with unsuttered woe. O, God. 1 pray If love must die. And make no more of life a part, Let witness be where all can see, And not within a living heart. —May Mathews Adams. . EvadiiOj Our Responsibilities. There are times in all of our lives when the mere thought of additional responsibility seems more than we can bear, when we feel that we are carrying just as much as we can stand and thai another drop will fill our cup to overflowing. VYe do not stop to consider that there are few per aons comparatively who are forced to shoulder more moral responsibility than they can well endure. It Is a part of the divine plan to apportion our burdens in proportion to our powers of endurance, and it is a weakling, in-deed, who continues to believe for any length of time that his share of re-sponsibility is beyond his moral ca-pacity. It may seem at times that it requires the most deep-seated faith 10 remain steadfast under trial, but the faith that cannot stand siieh a taM If scarcely worthy the tiame. We are placed in this world to work out our salvation, and the sorrows and dis-appointments and tribulations which responsibility sometimes brings are but the means to this end. We seem almost to look upon ourselves as be-ings of such delicate workmanship, that the least mental or physical jar will break us into pieces too small to be reset, an occurrence which to some of our ways of thinking, at least. would prove a calamity to the. world at large. The fact Is. however, that we are moulded of too tough a clay not to be able to withstand the innumera-ble lar* and breakages which it Is our lot to i suffer. The Great Potter knew what He was about when He moulded us into life, and we may be stare that He worked Into our composi-tion those qualities which were ne-cessary to our future moral and phy-sical welfare. A sudden shock doea not necessarily precipitate a catastro-phe, nor does an actual break mean the end of everything. The experiences that either one brings only serve to strengthen our powers of resistance as well as those of endurance, besides making us more self-controlled and less afraid of what the future may hold for us.—Editorial Charleston News and Courier.

LIBRARY NOTES. .*•♦-♦-♦•♦-♦♦ (By the Librarian.) With the approach of the Christmas season comes the problem of the selec-tion of Christmas gifts) We spend many hours pondering over what we shall give our relatives and friends. Frequently, we decide upon a book, and congratulate ourselves upon a happy choice.- But here we are confront ed with the question of "which" book. 'I he wise selection of books is an art that few possess, and is dependent upon a knowledge of the person for whom the gift is intended, and upon a knowledge of books. AY this time of the year, every pub-lishing house issues attractive pam-phlets giving annotated lists of Christ-mas books, and the local book stores present numerous books in bright bindings. One is bewildered by the various titles, and Is more than apt to come to the conclusion that a book IT..uires more thought than any other gift one can make. We hear frequently of well-intention-ed \relatives sending a copy of "Pil-grim's Progresi" to a boy who cares only for pirates, soldiers and daring adventures. A man who would enjoy Mark Twain is presented with Brown-ing's Poems. A woman is given a vol-ume of Maeterlinck's plays.sjo whom "The Rosary" would be a aource of much pleasure. Such blunderer1 can be avoided with a little care and fore-thought. To aid in the selection of* books as Christmas gifts, the library will Issue soon in pamphlet form a list of books for gifts to children, 'these pamphlets will be free, and can be had upon ap-plication at the library as soon as they arrive. Below is given a list of late fiction from which selections can be made for gifts to men, and women, and on next Sunday a list of biography and travel wil be given. Cacheller—Keeping Up With -Us-zie. Burnett—Secret Garden. Daviess—Rose of Old Harpeth. Deland—Iron Woman. Farnol—Broad Highway. Farnol—Money Moon. v Harrison—Queed Johnston—Long Roll. Kester—. rodigal Judge. Locke—blory Of Clementina. • Lockhart—Me--mith. _ Porter—Harvester. Smith—Kennedy Square. Wiggin—Mother Carey's Chickens. Wright—Winning Of Barbara Worth. • • • The Carnegie Library of Greensboro has Issued a very complete reading list on Robert Browning. It /.-as prepared «"or the use during the Brown-ing lecture course now being given under the auspices of the literature de-partment of. the Woman's Club of Greensboro by Prof. W. C. Smith, dean of the State Normal and Industrial Col-lege. Popular election of senators, restric-tion of immigration, increaaed navy and parcels, post have been among the subjects of debates for which the li-brary has furnished material during the past week. • • • "The Money Moon" a new novel by the author of "The Broad Highway" Mr. Jeffrey Farnol, has recently been purchased, by the library- It Is a charm-ing romance, with the usual elements of a man, a maid, and a summer moon, but with a rather unusual, but with a rather unusual setting, and very good character delineation. How the man discovers Arcadia and secures it for his own, is told in a very pleasing man-ner. It is not as long a book as "The Broad Highway." but will doubtless be Just as popular. • •• The issue of books for home use during November numbered 3,089, an increase of over 500 from that of last November. The attendance in the reference and-reading rooms was 1581, the largest number since De-cember, 1907. Even these figures fall to give any idea of the atmount of reference work done at the library during the past month. WOMAN'S CLUB. Two meetings—one departmental the other general—will Interest the members of the Woman's Club this week. The Department of Literature will meet Tuesday with Mra E. L. Maaac- The quotation for the day will.be "What is science, rightly known? 'Tis the strength of life alone." ' Program for the day: The Poet As a Man of Science- Mrs. Edwin Howard.

THE WEDDING RING ' When a man is incensed is he Insti-fled in exclaiming: "Holy smoker* The wedding ring has not always been the plain circle of gold nowa-days associated iwth its name, writes Robert Snowden. In ancient days it was richly set with gems and worn on the first finger of the right hand. The Christian era brought about the wearing of the wedding ring on the thfrd finger and the popuplar super-stition about the "ring finger" says that a vein runs direct from it to the heart. , The real reason is probably a re-ligious one. The priest who performed the marriage rite used to put the ring first on the thumb saying: "in the name of the Father" on the first fin-ger he said. "And the Son" xin the second, "Aand the Holy Ghost." When the "amen" was reached with the third finger the ring was put on to stay. NOTABLE SOCIEl EVENT. A wedding which will be marked by quietness, but notable interest, will be that of Miss Anne Louise Hutchi-son and Mr. Julian F. Lumraus, Wed-nesday evening. The ceremony wMl be performed at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Andrew C. Hutch-ison, on West Trade street, at 8:30, Rev. Harris Mallinckrodt, rector of St. Peter'a Episcopal church, officiat-ing. Owing to the family being in mourn-ing the wedding will be characterized with simplicity of detail. There will be no attendants. The bride will be given away by hem brother, Mr. An-drew Hiitchison, wT.o arrives from New York Tuesday morning, Mr .and Mrs. E. S. Lummus, of Co-lumbus, Ga., «unt and uncle of the groom, and their daughter, Miss Mar-lon Lummus, will attend the wedding. Miss Lummus arrived-yesterday, Iff. and Mrs. Lummus come Tuesday. The bride" will wear a beautiful gown of ivory satin with elaborate garnitures of real lace. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs.'Lum-mus leave on an extended bridal trip.

"Riley's last poem!" What's that they say The papers are printin' about him to-day? The hand that he wrote 'em with with-ered and worn. His eyes seeln' dull through the wid-ows of morn, His side - paralyzed, an' him/ fittin' there All helpless and lonely-like in his arm-chair? Riley's last poem? Why, It can't be the case! They're surely mistaken! F'um every old place The gods would be wingin' to keep him f'um that— At least if the gods could be telegraft at 4 By the thoughts of the thousands of people he's won To his heart by the other of his song, and its sun! Riley's last poem! No more singin' fum him! Di-pen, but there's somethin' amakin' . eyes dim Wherever I look round the room, an' they say They read it themselves In the paper today; And they seem to be dreamin' us somethin' way off In the distance, an' clearln'" ther throats with a'co^ugh.
