The next session of the Western North Carolina Conference of Ihe j Methodu-t church will be held in I Monroe.

Winston-Sulem'a reiiust wa withdrawn in favor of Mo n rev and the latter was Kiven a iiii.itiii'iniis diii.iion. This will be the second time that the Continence has met lure. The loruu-r inciting was held twenty years ai:o. At that lime it was con sidered lather u nu .sua 1 for a town the size that Monroe then was lo ask for the Coulen ::ce, and there wa. some douhl n.i to the ability of the I town to entertain so luri:e a body. Hut the res '.ill was highly satisfacto ry. Knterlaiiiiueni was ample. Airain jthe minting ol the Conference was set to be held in .Monroe In 1!1$. At th; t time Ihe intliu rza crisis was at its heichi and the Coufeivnce was temporarily called off. Later, the session was held in Greensboro. Monroe has Mnce entertained the Itiiptist Stale Convention and the low n has taken its place as one of the smaller towns of the State as a lie cl itic place for :-ilch bodies. Methodist people ;'ie naturally very happy al the news of the com-in-' of the Conference next year. If is highly valuable lo the local people of tiny denomination to have a ses sion of fluir gem-rat bodies meet with them. Hut the entertainment on such occasions is not confined to any one denomination, but members of the several churches in the town are always ready to co-operaie.

A Happy Substitute Jink Barrymore attended a dinner party where the jjuestn mainly were members of Mr. Barrymor's profus ion. Diagonally across the table from him was a newly landed foreign actor whose mannerism and behavior rath er jarred the American. He turned to his neighbor on the left. "Do you know that person over there?" he inquired, indicating the stranger. "Fairly well, answered the fellow diner. "He's by way of being a regular ass, isn't ho?" asked Barrymore. "Hardlv that." "Well,'' said Barrymore, "he'll do, won't he, until a real one comes along?" A Modest Protest A young couple who came recently from the south live in a rather email New York apartment. They have a precocious four-year-old daughter. One afternoon friends from the old home town came calling. The young ster, who had been playing hard all day, was in rather a tousled state. When the visitors called up from down stairs to announce their arrival the mother turned to her maid of all work. "I know my friends want to see the baby," she told the servant, "but they can only stay a few minutes, they say, and there isn't much time spare. Just run her back to the bathroom, will you, and make her presentable as quickly as you can and then send her to me." The callers were welcomed. Greet ings had been exchanged between the young hostess and her guests when from the inner recesses of the flat, through a door which had been left ajar, came in a shrill childish treble this rebellious protest: "Olga, company or no company, you ain't goin' to wash my lace with spit!" Of course. If short dresses and bare knees remain In style the North can always drift South for the winter months. If the coming winter proves to be as severe as bas been predicted we are, In danger of losing our crop of coal barons They will all becomo prioces. Tell your troubles to yonr enemy.
