VI SoCiui thttEtbts
Saturday evening being the third anniver-
sary Of the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
w. Rounds, their e!-yant home, on Fifteenth
street, was the scene of a delightful masque-
rade party. The spacious parlors were law
ishly decorated with choice natural oXotics,
and the hospitable word "welcome" was dis
played above the folding doors, artistically
arranged in the most attractive manner
known to the florists art. To the strains of
sweetest music, the gay masquers glided over
the canvascd floors in Terpschorean revelry
until the hour of eleven, when an adjourn
ment was made to the dining hail. where n
sumptuous repast awaited them upon unmask-
ing. Many of the costumes were exceedingly
rich and elegant. the most noticeable of which
were the Marie Antoinette of Mrs Twombley,
Mrs. Forcsman, as Spanish Lady, Miss Don
aldsons Scotch Lassie Jean, and Mrs Zitzer's
Italian Countess. Miss Auer represented
Rachel, Miss B. Twombley, Phyllis; Jennie
Rogers, Normandy Peasant Girl, aud Lulu
Twombley, Vivandiere, Andy Smith, rs q
Ute warrior; Ii. A. Foresman, as Dickins's
Fat Boy, and Messrs. Crouncc and Twombley.
rs the Two Dromios, acted their respective
characters to perfection. John ii. King did
Claude Melnotte in true lover style, and the
Torrcador of james Woodward was gorgeous
makeup. Mr.. Engelmans Duke of Gloster
was well conceived. George Rounds Jr., as
Harlequin the PenniclJs Brothers, as Ger
man Exiles, and L. j. Donaldson's Rip Van
Wrinkle completed the costumes as far as our

hundreds present. The genial host and host

and Polish Princess, respectively The most
original COnCeit of the evening was the de-
lneation of an Infant Mephistophclcs, by
Master Eddie Rounds, aged eighteen months,
in a miniature copy of his fathers character.
The entertainment furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs. Rounds was n royal ono, and their
hearty efforts to make the occasion an enjoya-
BILE ono to all present ccmented the friend,

Dennis Donovan, WRtchman at the Aque-
duct Bridge, Drowned.

Sometime between 12 o'clock midnight Of
Saturday and a. m. Of Sunday, Miss Lille
Swan, living with her mother at the corner of
East Market space aud the canal, was awak-
ened, as she states, by the noise of an alterca-
tion and scufling in front Of her house, and
also heard what she supposed was some one
falling down the flight of steps leading TO the
bridge across the canal, and looking from her
window saw something fall from the bridge
into the canal Later in the morning officer
Burrows was informed of tho circumstance,
and securing the services of Philip Mcdonald
had the canal dragged, resulting In bringing
to the surface the body of Dennis Donavan, a
watchman at the aqueduct bridge, about 30
years of age. Donavan had been drinking
quite freely on Saturday night, and was seen
in tho vicinity above mentioned about
1890 in company with two young mon,
one of them being l.. +. Brown.
AT that time Donovan was In q very intoxi-
Gated state, and his companions were trying
TO induce him to go home. Whether he sub
sequently fell off the bridge and was drowned
or met with foul play has not yet been de-
termined. The body was taken to he under
taking establishment of J. 4. Clemsnts on
Thirty-second street, where DIR. HarNgan
made an autopsy. IL is stated that DR.. Harti-
gan came to the conclusion that the man was
alive after getting into the water on account
Of the condition of his lungs, and that there
was q rupture of the liver and kidneys.
There were no marks of violence ON the
body, externally or internally, other than
bruise on the nose. A small sum of money

son, and IL is thought that he had but little
with him, having laid out most of his weeks
wages for goods at Dyer's store. On the side
walk near tho stairway above alluded TO was
quite pool of blood, and on tho side of the
house the mark of bloody hand. Coroner

HOW WIVES MAY WIN.

A woman, because she is a wife,
cannot afford to neglect those graces
of mind and manner which first at
tracted her lover and husband. The
common round of household duties
should not entirely absorb her. She
should have more than one side to
her life; should be helpmate, COM
panion, friend, mistress of her hus-
bands affections, years after their
union, instead of being merely
skillful cook Or competent housewife.
To be all that nature and reason de-
mand of her, she need not release her
hold upon the marital heart by con-
fining herself to the kitchen, the laun-
dry and the nursery. She may be
devoted wife and mother without for
getting that she was woman before
she was either; ever aiming to keep
alive in her husbands breast the
spirit of gallantry and tenderness, on
which masculine affection almost en-
tirely depends. Her husband is con-
stantly advancing, if not by regular
culture, at least by daily contact with
the outer world and it should be her
ceaseless study to keep abreast Of his
improvement. Let her by no means
forget her croquetish arts, or lay aside
her engaging ways which did so much
to ensnare his heart. She must have
something TO entertain him with on
his return home beside the dreary
iterations of troubles with servants
and blunders of cookery books. A
rose in her hair and a verse of poetry
on her lips have more power to hold
him than the most eloquent story Of
domestic disaster. Yet neither roses.
or poetry will be of much avail if
dinner is late or badly cooked and
served. Man at his best is a mater
ialist. Il is not the wife's fault that
she walks on so low a domestic plane
She would gladly mount to a higher
one if her husband would give her his
helping hand, or even invite her to
the upper air. Men are unkind and
unsympathetic. more from want OF
thought than fl ON want of feeling.
They unconsci ously put obstacles in
the way of feminine advancement
and seldom p ause to observe how the
obstacles are overcome, or reflect tha
their joint assistance is required
Their minds should be stirred, thel
memories reused by the gentle agen
cies wome' 4 know so we'll how to eN
ercise. ] hen they will see clearl

GETHSEMENE.

In golden youth, when seems the earth
A summer land for singing mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are light.
And not shadow turks in sight.
We do not know it, but there lies
Somewhere, yelled under evening skies,
A garden all must sometime see,
Somewhere lies our Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways,
Love lends halo to the days,
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar,
We laugh and say how strong we are.
We hurry on-and. hurrying, go
Close to the border land of woe,
That waits for you and waits for me-
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams,
Behind the misty cape of years,
Close to the great salt font Of tears,
The garden lies; strive as you may
You cannot miss it in your way.
All paths that have been, or shall be,
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane.
All those who journey soon or late
: Must pass WITHIN the gardens gate;
Must kneel alone in darkness there
And battle with some dark despair.
God pity those who cannot say,
mot mine but thine;" who only pray,
'Let this cup pass" and cannot see
The purpose of Gethsemane

Lake George has had five distinct
names since it was first known to the
civilized world. The Indians, in
1909, called it Andia-to-roc-te, or
place where the lake contracts, and
Canideriolt, tail of the lake, and it
was thus called until 1916, when a
party of friendly Indians, together
with Father Joques and Sicar Bour-
don, engineer-in-chief on the COVER
nor's staff, arrived on it's beautiful
borders. 1t was on the eve of the
festival of Corpus Christi, and in
commemoration of the day they nam
ed it the lake of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. For over 100 years the quiet
of this fairy lake was undisturbed by
conflict, naught ruffied its clear wa
tiers save the Indians canoe, and it
was appropriately known as Lac du
ST. Sacrament. At length the tocsin
of war was sounded, the French and
English met upon its shores, musket-
ry resounded down the mountain
sides, massacres were frequent, dead
bodies were thrown into wells and
ponds stained with the blood of the
slain. 1t was fitting time for Gen.
johnson in 1855 to change its name
to Lake George in honor of George
III. This name it has borne ever
since, although our great novelist,
Cooper, not being satisfied with its
various appellations, introduced it to
his readers in the ''Last of the Mo-
hicans'' as Lake Horizon (the silyery
waters,) but this euphonious title
was never generally adopted.

THE MARRIED MAN.

Adown the street the married man
Starts off with hurried tread,
But from the door wifely voice
Calls, Don't forget the bread"
He smiles. and mods, and turns to 60,
That careless married man,
When loud the servant calls him, "Oh,
You haven't got the can ~
He mods again in fretful style,
And pulleth down his hat;
And loi his sister, with smile,
Cries won't you bring MY hat?"
"Oh, yes, he shouts, and. truth to tell,
He need not shout so loud;
But shrill his son, with stunning yell:
Theatre tickets for the crowdl"
His daughter, from window high,
Estops him with her call;
She wants fan, a pair of gloves,
And new pink parasol,
He hears no more; far down the street
His echoing footsteps fly;
And all day long. in measures feet.
He huns "Sweet buy and buy"
But when the evening respite brings,
And his days work is done,
Though told to get hundred things,
He hasn't got one.
