M. Vernon Notes.
Mr. Editor Dispatch.
would like to toll you .something
of our apron party, the meeting
or which was, uot long since, the
occasion of much merriment
anions the young people of this
neighborhood. It met Friday
night at tbe home of Mrs. Mollie
Reeves and was attended by a
large crowd. Those present
were: Mrs. Eliza Cooper, Misses
Pollie Christopher, Ophelia Eg
ger, Bertha Daves, Lilla May
Daves. Tea Philips, Annie Hall,
Lorine Basiuger, Prof. Spann,
Messrs. Walter Philips, A.
L. Daves, Julius Spann, Alex
ander Spauu, Frank Christo
pher, Tom McKellar, George Me
Crary, il. Cooper, Leech Cooper,
and others. After the guests
had assombkd, while prepara
tions, for the work that was to
follow were being made, Misset
Kate, Rosa, Mary and Lens
Reeves, the accomplished young
ladies of the home together with
Messrs. John and Roger Reeves.
Mrs. Reeves' two handsome sons,
lost no opportunity to make the
company feel pleasant. This
they did partly by rendering
-sweet music and partly by the in
troiuetion of different kinds of
games, in which all engaged with
.much enthusiasm. At length
the conductors i f the meeting
brought in a basket of rosettes
which the ladies had aptly pre
pared of beautiful ribbon. Each
of the rosettes was accompanied
by the name of a lady. Oat of
ibis basket each gentleman was
to draw a rosette, then the ladies
respectively presented to the
tnau, that had drawn her nume,
tin apron to hem. It was' an
nounced that the one who did
the best work would receive a
prize. Then it was lhat the
young men set to work and for
about an hour busily engaged at
their difficult yet pleasing task.
When the work was finished and
the honorable judges, who were:
Mrs. Eliza Cooper, Misses Kate
Reeves, and Pollie Christopher,
had examined the same, they de
cided Mr. George McCrary de
served" the prize and to him was
presented a large,beautiful, high
ly llavored cake, with compli
mentary remarks of his excel
lent work. As the people were
leaving for their respective
homes each one seemed to feel
that he was made better by hav
attended the "aprou party."
We regret to note that Misses

ANCIENT IVORY ON MARKET
According to Letter from Authority
Some of That on Sale Is Sev
eral Hundred Years Old.
During a recent visit to the Lon
don docks, says Knowledge and
Scientific News, her majesty the
queen vas informed that the
stock of ivory then shown repre
sented, on an average, the annual
slaughter of some L'0,000 African
elephants. This statement has
been contradicted in two letters
in the daily papers. In one of
these Messrs. Hale, of 10 Fen
church avenue, state that at least
85 per cent, of the supply is ''dead
ivory," mainly obtained from
hoarded stores of African chiefs
who are shrewd enough to put
their commodities on the market
only in driblets. The most inter
esting part of the letter is, how
ever, the statement that the great
bulk of this hoarded ivory ig ob
tained from "elephant cemeter
ies" spots net with here and
there in the jungle, where ele
phants have resorted for cen
furies to die. Much of th? ivory
that come to the market mar.
therefore, according to tfcin Utter,
b eYeral hundred yars old.
The marvel i why it is not de
roured in the jungles by porcu
pines, as certainly happens with
the tusks of the Indian elephant
which are left in the jungle.
!RTiTal of Old Custom.
"Matrons of honor" seem like
an innovation, but, as a matter ol
fact, a "matron" in Anglo-Saxon
times led the bride, who was fol
lowed by her bridesmaids and pre
ceded by her musicians. The
bride's coming in on her father's
arm a custom of later days did
away with the matron's services;
but the old custom establishes a
precedent for having a married
