with tobacco. They said that while
it was a very lovely home, as far as
outward appearances go, they knew
from the conversation of the house-
hold seryants tly>t there was nothing
of the harmony arid mutual helpful-
ness, and purity—of speech that per-
vades a Christian home. One of the
other guests was a little Mohamme-
dan lady. The only Christian Chin-
ese lady invited happened to be the
matron in our Girl’s School, who is '■
our one 'Mohammedan convert here,
and a finer Christian nevet lived.
So at the table, when this other
guest let one course after another
come in and go out without as much
as tasting of'them, Mrs. Djan (John),
the Christian, talked to her in the
loveliest way about her own experi-
ence in breaking away, and learning
to eat meat after she found out it
was not a sin to do so. And she in-
vited the Mohammedan lady to come
over to the school and call, so they
could talk more- about it, which she
promised to do.

GUEST OF MAYOR’S WIFE
AT LUCHOWFU, CHINA
Excerpts from a letter of Miss
Laufa Lynne, missionary in C..„^,, -
to her parents, Rev. and Mrs. A. E. ! each oF our chair bearers, and 100 to
Major, of Whitewright:
I wish you could have seen youi’
baby girl last night. Dr?, M™
Wenona Wilkerson, Miss Lillian Col-
lins and I were invited to dinner at
the home of the wife of the mayor of
the city. We went about five-thirty,
in chairs of course, each with a man
to carry the lantern as we came back
home, and a woman just to tag along
as an attendant. We niade quite a
retinue. Counting the chair-bearers
it took fourteen people to get the
four of us there and back in proper
form. The t’ai-t’ai (our hostess,
Mrs. Yuen,) is a dear little woman,
educated, and quite traveled, and is
very sweet. She is just my age, and
has a daughter in a Christian school
at Shanghai, and two more little girls
at home with her, one 6 and one 10.
There were four other guests, Chin-
ese, two of whom we knew very well,
so that made the conversation easier,
of course. Our hostess was a most
delightful one, and we would have
felt very much at home anyway. We
were served a bit of candy, water-
melon seed, and tea as soon as we
arrived. None of this did we touch
excepting to take a sip of tea once.
This was served on small tables in
the living room. After a short time
there, dinner was served, and you"
can imagine our surprise at seeing a
long table, set in foreign style, with
bread and butter plates, forks,
knives, spoons^ etc., just as our own
woqld be at home. There were even
embroidered napkins, and glasses for
cold water, instead of the customary
teacup. And it was some banquet
we were served. The courses were
soup, fish, cold tongue and pickles,
beef steak with .onions and potatoes,
squab with a tiny bit of peas and po-
tatoes, cold ham and asparagus tips,
sweet potato fixed like filling for pie
(served on a plate by itself like des-
sert, and eaten with a spoon,) a pud-
ding with sauce, and lastly came cof-
fee and fresh apples. Now, how was
that for a Chines'S lady to put on?
And everything was most wonderful-
ly prepared. I never ate better cook-
ing, and everything served piping
hot. The bread she had was sent up
from Wuhu, but everything else was
made there at home. The service was j
perfect. We were never left a min-;
ute without a plate“before us, and |
fresh silver was of course furnished
with every course. It really was'
most remarkable. And the table
manners of our hostess were as ex-
quisite as you would see in any cul-
tured American home.
Our woman servant who went
along with us, said she was out in the j
kitchen, and there wei’e several for-
eign stoves there, much larger than I
any we foreigners have. Our ser-
vants who went along with us are all
Christians, and they' were telling,
after we got home, of the chances
they had to witness to their faith
while there. They were offered
there is no specific provision in the

Due to the heavy rains the attend-
ance at the Grayson County Odd Fel-
lows’ Association meeting held 4m “

joyed by all.

of Whitesboro as temporary presi-
dent. Othei’ temporory officers are

R. Huffaker of Collinsville as presi-
dent; Mrs. L. Self of Whitesboro as
vice-president; Mrs. Tom Wood of
Sherman, secretary; Mrs. W. P.
Strickland of Collinsville, treasurer.

linsville next year.

the visitors by the fire department

ham team which expected to put on
first degree work Friday evening was
unable to reach Whitesboro because
of the rains.
The Rebekah organization ^Iso met.
Both conventions were enthusiastic,
and a splendid program was given.

boro Odd Fellows by H. B. Cowell.
