SURPRIsE PARTIES s-As the season Of
surprise parties is near at hand, the fol-
lowing hints may not prove unaccepta-
BILE to many: What are now called sur.
prise parties became quite fashionable in
England, about the year 1900, when they
were called "Pic-nic supperS." The bill
of fare was prepared each dish being
numbered-and the4ubscribers to the en-.
tertainment drew lots, and each was re-
quired 10 furnish the dish marked against
the number he drew. This may be use
full sS hint to persons getting up sur
prise parties, which, by the way, are the
most sensible species of entertainment
now in vogue, because the entertainer il
required to furnish only the parlors, and
is put to no trouble to prepare for the
guests, while the visitors furnish sheil
own supper and music, and thus equaliIC
expenses. And again, people who live in
q pleasant house, but who cannot afOrt
to prepare On entertainment entirely 81
their own cost, may thus still receive
their friends occasionally and enjoy so.

Persecution Of Shop Girls in New
York,

There is a class of scoun-
drels in New York who make
it a business to lie in wait for
young girls who are necesi-
tated to work in stores and
factories for their livelihood,
and by threats or persuation,
or means only known to such
williams, thus effect their ruin.
The following case of persis-
tent persecution by one OF
these scoundrels is thus re-
ported in the HERALD:
For two years past a young
lady employed in one of the
Broadway stores, and at
present living in Thopson
street, has been seriously an
noyed by the persistent at
tention of Joseph Gilbert
Pierson, a middle aged man
said to reside in Patterson,
N. J. He has insisted upon
calling at her residence and
place of business, against her
express wishes and COM
mands, and succeeded in COM
pelling her to relinquish two
lucrative situations, which
she had obtained at much
trouble, and move from the
neighborhood. By dint of
inquiry he would observe her
whereabouts, and by his per-
secutions has made her life
miserable in the extreme.
A few days ago Pierson
met the object of his atten-
tions, and on account Of her
declining to recognize or
speak to him, actually as
saulted her with the umbrella.
To this she paid no attention,
and ran from his sight. Mon
day morning Pierson called
at the lady's place of business,
and patience having ceased
to be a virtue with her, de-
tective Golden, of the St.
Nicholas Hotel, was called,
and arrested him, The pris-
oner was taken before JUS
tice Dowlicg, and a COM
plant of assault and battery
made against him. AS detect
i've started to take Pierson
down stairs, the latter turn
ed and attempted to escape.
He was instantly seized by
half q dozen court officers
and marched into prison to
await his trial. Upon leaving
the court room the fair COM
plainant tainted and fell into
the vestibule of the Tombs,
and it was not till medicical
aid was summoned that she
recovered so as to be able to
leave for home.
