The Y. M. G. A. Social Gathering

The large hall and rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association were thrown open
to the public last evening, the occasion being
social gathering of the members and their
friends, for whom fine entertainment was
provided. The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. Asa Dalton, Rector of st.
Stephens church, after which brief introduce
tory remarks were made by the President of
the association, Mr.. j. f. Liscomb. The en-
tertainment consisted of solo singing by Miss
Fl. 81. Eaton, of West Buxton, select readings
by Mrs. S. FL. Doten, violin duet by Miss
Young and MIR. L. III. Whipple, violin solos by
Mr.. f. 81. Whipple, and piano solos by Master
Alec. Stephenson. Miss Eaton's charming
presence and beautiful vocalism would please
the most captious critics. She sang serenade
from Gounod and "Where the heart is young''
by Dudley Buck, the latter eliciting an en-
core; she responded by singing 'sDarby JOAN"
Mr.. M. G. Milliken, a we'll known and accom- !.
plished musician of this city, accompanied her
on the piano forte. Mrs. Doten's readings at.
forded great amusement, and were most heart
lily encored. The violin playing, both duets
and solos, captivated and pleased. We have
seldom heard such playing by amateurs. Mas
ter Stephenson's piano solos would do credit to
older people.

Shopliftinp,

Yesterday afternoon, while the store of
Owen, Moore & Co. was crowded with pur-
chasers, Mr.. Owen saw piece of ribbon drop
from the dress of woman standing at the
counter. He Immediately took her down
stairs into the wholesale department and sent
for an officer. On arrival at the station the
woman declared her innocence, and said that
another woman standing next her in the store
was an acquaintance at the Cape with whom
she had had trouble, and that the wicked Cape
woman must have stuck the ribbon under her
cloak. Miss Philbrick made searching exam
ination of the prisoner but found no other
stolen goods upon her. In consequence of the
fact that she was not known to the police as
thief, her own story and the fact that no other
goods were found on her, the police reserved
her name. The value of the goods stolen was
about So
Owen, Moore & Co. caught several other
women stealing little things, but after severe
talking to let them 60.

tai tale preserved for US by Strabo and
Elian, was borne by an eagle to the
Egyptian King, who Immediately re-
solved to make that sandals own
er his royal spouse. In the ven
erable Egyptian tale Of the Two Broth
ers," another monarch is equally affected
by the sight of a lock of the heroine
golden hair, that is borne to him by the
river into which it has fallen, and he
makes similar resolve. In a Lesghian
story from the Caucasus, a supernatural
female being drops golden shoe, and the
hero is sent in search of its fellow, be-
coming thereby exposed to many dan
gers. We may fairly be allowed, with
out any slur being cast upon mytholog-
ical Interpretation, to give up the glassi-
ness Of Gnderella's slipper. If the sub
stitution of vair be admitted, it supplies
us with one of the few verbal tests which
exist whereby to track story's wander
inga s..
For in that case we may always trace
home to France, or at least detect a
French element in any form of the Gin
derella story in which the heroine wears
glass slipper. A somewhat similar mis-
take to that which vitrefed Cinderella's
slipper caused a celebrated picture by
Rnbens to be long known by an inappro-
pirate title. Many visitor to the Ma
tional Gallery must have wondered why
a portrait of lady in hat manifestly
made not Of straw, but Of beaver or a
kind Of felt, should be designated the
chapeau de paille, before it was pointed
out by Mr.. Wornum in the catalogue
that paille was probably mistake for
poll, word meaning among other things
wool and the nap Of a hat, and akin to
the Latin pileus, felt cap or hat, and,
indeed, to the word felt itself.
