HOW CAN YOTJ TELLt
How can you tell? Your sighs of today
Tomorrow may end in a song;
And a blue will come to the skies now
fray
And right to all the wrong.
Then what of the long and cheerless
night
When the day dawns fair and the heaat
Is light? -
How can you tell? Oh. saddened heart!
Weep not those bitter tears;
Tomorrow your sorrow may all depart.
And a Joy replace your fears.
Then what of the foolish tears which felt
When all Is well when all is well.
How can you tell? Your cares of today
Tomorrow may seem but a dream;
And all of the worries may fade away
Before a happiness supreme.
Then what of the cares of yesterday.
When the heart Is huppy free and gayT

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Sharp's dinner last
evening In compliment to Miss Camilla
Labatt of Fort Worth and Miss Katherine
Nash was notably handsome In its ar-
rangements the table decorations and
appointments being on a scale of artistic
beauty unsurpassed in Houston. Two
tables each one holding covers for four-
teen were arranged in the dining rejoin
and Japanese :o : . ..i -lng

Womanhood" a very preity compliment
to the maids present furnished the motif
for the decorations very lovely effects
resulting from this artistic scheme. The
table in tho dining room represented "
Garden of Ixve" Venetian ware ar-
ranged as a formal garden furnishing the
central feature the receptacles filled
with lilies of the valley and maiden-
hair fern and the urns which marked
the boundary at Intervals filled with clus-
ters of violets. In the center of the
garden was a taller urn holding violets
and ferns. Sprays of the feathery fern
were effective against the damask cloth
and at either end of the table were crystal
candlesticks holding white tapers. Tall
compotes held the mints and white and
gold monogramed china and glass used
in the service added to tlte effective-
ness. White chrysanthemums and ferns
furnished the floral adornment of tho
dining room and a blazing open fire
here as in all the rooms of the reception
suite gave a note of good cheer.
In thr pretty Japanese room with Its
soft lights and odd furnishings tho
scheme of the decoration represented
"Mary's Oarden" with "Mary ...ary
quite contrary watching her garden
grow." In the center of :the table was
a miniature garden enclosed by a rustic
fence and filled with "silver bells and
cockle shells and cowslips all In a row'
while down the path in the center came
"Contrary Mary" all arrayed in whita
satin and with powdered hair. There
were little faces In some of the mow-
ers and the effect was indescribably
lovely. At either end of the table was
a tail odd Japanese lamp the light com-
ing softly through the big red shade
and at intervals on the board were
silver -candlesticks holding red unshaded
tapers. The place cards for the maids at
both tables were exquisite water colors
of beautiful women in quaint and dainty
attire while marking the plates of the
men were "Contrary Marys." From the
first course of caviare served ' at the
one table in the form of a heart and In
that of a daisy at the other to the

Saunders In compliment to Mrs. Robert
Taylor Hinton of Kentucky and Miss
Mary Woolford was characterized by a
delightful Informality which gave It
distinct charm and made it one of the
most thoroughly enjpyable hospitalities
of the season.
There had been no effort toward elabo-
rate decoration but the beauty of the
ball room was emphasized by the ef-
fective arrangement of ferns and palms
about the stately room. The corners were
transformed Into attractive tete tetes
with rugs chairs and potted plants and
the galleries were banked with the tall
palms and ferns. In oi.e oi ner was
the punch table coverca with a hand
some Cluny lace cover upon which rest-
ed the punch bowl. ..ai-landed with fruit
and ferns.
A program of sixteen darces the waits
and two-step was cm v I to excellent
music which was accorded any number
of encores.
The buffet supper served from the
palm-screened gallery was somewhat of
an innovation and a delightful feature of

Frail Women
Bo many women are dragging out weary
lives Just because thtlr digestive organ
are weak. The result Is poor circulation
nervousness and the Verge or Invalidism.
It is often very unnecessary and the wom-
an's own fauit.
The first thing to do Is to look to the
welfare of your bowels. There the trou-
ble usually lies. AU physicians know that
a large percentage of women sre habit-
ually conttlpnteil and from this results
indigestion piles weariness etc. that
women constantly complain of. Hut there
H no use taklnc "femalo remedies" and
things of that kind until you have start!
your bowels to moving. You will find
that uhei the bowels move regulatly
once or twice a day all your pettv Ills
will disappear. Take a good mild laxa-
tive tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep-
sin for awhile and you will find yourself
rapidly getting better and strongor your
bowels will regulate themselves and work
at stated times and then your headaches
and dizziness will disappear. Don't take
strong cut hurtle pills or salts but Just
such a mild and pleir.ant-tastlng remedy
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
You can obtain a bottle of your drug-
gist tor .'Ifty cents or one dollar and
either size may be enough to permanently
wire you. Thousands of women keep It
regularly In the house and will no longer
be without It as It cured them and can

but If you have never used It take the
advlcr of Mrs. Earl S. Cox 409 Twenty-
fifth street Moline 111. and Mrs. Uen
Dungan Muncie Ind. and send to Dr.
Caldwell for a free trial bottle as they
lid and learn for yourself what It will
do In your own case. That It will cur
you as It did them there Is no doubt.
Dr. Caldwell personally will be pleased
to give you any medical advice you may
desire for yourself or family pertaining to
the stomach liver or bowels absolutely
free of charge. Explain your case In a
letter and he will reply to you In detail.

DR. WEAT TO MACON.
Received Appointment Yesterday to
Mulberry Street Church.
A telegram was received yesterday aft-
ernoon by Dr. J. E. Wray announcing
his appointment by Bishop W. A. Wilson
of Baltimore to Mulberry Street Method-
ist church of Macon Ga. Dr. Wray and
his family will leave In a day or two
for his new charge. Ft will not be going
to a strange city however for Dr. Wray
was once before pastor In Macon for four
years having filled the pulpit of Vlne-
ville church which he built during his
pastorate there. He la a product of
South Georgia having been born and
reared In that section of the State and
all his ministry save four years in New
Orleans and one year in Houston has
been In the South Georgia conference. He
expressed himself as being much pleased
at tlie opportunity of returning to his
home State.
Mulberry Street church of Macon to
w hich Dr. Wray has Just been appointed
is one of the oldest and strongest
churches of the Methodist denomination
in the South and his appointment to such
a charge Is a compliment. Many of the
leading preachers of the church have
filled Its pulpit including Dr. Alonzo
M.mk Dr. John McFerrln Bishop Jo-
seph Kev Dr. Alnsworth and other noted
nun. It has a membership of between
1J and 1.V10 and one of (he most mag-
nificent church buildings In the South.
The church Is attended hy Wie young
ladies of the Wesleyun Female college
which Is located at Macon.
Dr. Wray was pastor of the First
church In Houston for only a year but
during that time made many friends who
refrretted to learn of his decision to trans-
fer back to Georgia some time ago. In
Dr. Wray's leaving Houston loses a min-
ister who Is widely known for Ms schol-
arship and the literary character of his
sermons. A leading church In Savannah
also petftloned ltlshop Wilson to send htm
to that church but Mulberrv Street was
given the preference by the presiding
bishop.
