Soap.BubbIe Parties.

Among the newest fancies in fashion
able society are ''soap-bubble parties"
They began in New York, and of
course, says Washington correspond
ent, found ready imitators at the Cap
ital. Like common parties and Ger
mans, they afford an opportunity for
the distribution of gifts, which, unless
conducted with great delicacy and good
taste, quickly degenerate into vulgar
ostentation of wealth. At recent event
of this peculiar kind the climax of the
evening was reached before eleven
o'clock, when a large china punch
bowl filled with soapsuds was placed
upon the center table Of the rear parlors,
the carpets having been prudently
screened with linen, ostensibly for
greater convenience in dancing. Long
nine' eighteen clay pipes were pro-
duced, and all tried to see who could
blow the biggest bubble. Three trials
were granted each person, but all
whose bubbles burst were compelled to
desist. There were five judges to esti-
mate the size of the bubbles and to
award the prizes, which were old
Knickerbocker pipes, plaques and other
dainty souvenirs, to the successful
blowers. The fun was immense. as
rosy lips and perfumed mustaches tried
their skill upon the Long nines."

"the herd'' indulge. Badminton is now
the correct thing for le creme de 'e creme,
as it is comparatively new in this coun-
try. 1t is played with hattledore and
shuttlecock, over a net arranged as in
lawn-tennis. 1t is rather more of Q
lady's game than tennis proper, as il
makes less demand upon the muscles
but depends chiefly upon the agility o.
the players. The coaching and pole
cliques are unanimous in adopting the
new game. Washington Cor. N. Y Sun

Solid on the Boys.

Several newspapers are making a
good deal of fuss because in the last
week two eminent citizens of Wiscon-
sin, raised to positions of power, have
appointed their sons to Office. One
of the citizens is Timothy O. Howe,
who appointed his son chef clerk of
the post-office department, and the
other is Governor Rusk, who appoint
ed his son private secretary. 1t is
fashionable to blow against Nepotism,
and we are inclined to think Grant
carried the thing too far in appointing
all his relatives and his wife's rela-
tives to office, but it strikes us as if
lightning, in the shape OF a great pol
itical office, should strike us, and we
had a son that by education and q
general knowledge of our views ON
public matters, would fill the bill, and
we knew to dead certainty that he
was honest, and true, and that we
could trust him, and feel that he
wouldn't put up any jobs on the old
man, we should not let the accident of
his being related to us by way of his
mother, mitigate against him to any
alarming extent. If man can't trust
his own son, who the deuce can he
trust A man that has got son
that he has educated, and watched
over since he was little tow-head,
knows whether he has got vinegar
enough in him to be chip of the old
block, it is a mighty mean father that
will not give the kid chance. We
know both of these boys that have
been appointed, and they are an hon
or to Wisconsin, and Fathers Howe
and Rusk need not be ashamed of them.

Sun is solid on the boys-Geo. Peck

Some Hints for Boys.

Avoid that which you see amiss in
others.
Follow the examples only of the
good.
Keep your ears open to ali MT is
worth hearing, and closed to all that
is not.
An old persons experience is of no
value to you unless you profit by it.
You are not building on the future,
but on the past and present.
Evil communications corrupt good
manners.
Nobody wants to deal with dou-
ble-minded boy.
Be industrious the world wants
BOYS who are not afraid of hard, steady
work.
"The empty vessel makes the great
est sound"
Some boys inherit golden fortunes,
but no boy ever inherited a scholar
ship, good character or useful life.
If you would be capable, cultivate
your mind /; if you would be loved,
cultivate your heart.
Never excuse wrong action by say
ing come one else does the same thing;
this is no excuse at all.-Anon.
