The Spot Where Their Paths Ported.

1t was night, phenomenon occurring
seven times week.
The moon shone brightly from the
heavens. This latter clause is always
added, although nobody ever saw the
moon shining from a hay-loft or frog
pond, or anything else except from the
heavens.
Two lovers strolled along the rivers
bank, and Luna's soft rays mirrored
their reflection in the water, disclosing
the fact that her hustle was on crooked,
and that her head alarmingly resembled
an egg.

a great sob made her bosom heave,
"shall meet you In heaven?"
Fred stopped where he stood, and
looked her square in the face.
"Well, darling" said he, slowly, as he
folded her to his breast, 81 really can't

At recent dinner party gentleman
was unfortunate enough to upset the
contents of his Burgundy glass into the
lap of his fair neighbor. The crimson
liquid ran down the entire front breadth
of her dress, which was a delicate "ciel
bleu" satin, running it completely.
What did she do? Well, being of an
Inventive turn of mind, she had the
front of the costume softly draped with
a silver gauze, through which the ruby
stain on the blue ground shines with an
effect that is really charming. Every
body is curious to know where the odd
piece of s. watered satin " was purchased.

What Detuisas Them?

"Women do all the talking" did you
say, sir? Yes, I have frequently heard
that oft-repeated assertion. Indeed.
am fully aware that women are proverb-
tally incessant chatterers. And yet can
you tell me what detains Mr.. Brown so
long every evening after his work is
done? He can't be talking to anybody,
of course; but he is usually an hour or
an hour and half late in getting home.
And can you inform me why Mr..
Jones stays so long when he goes across
the street to borrow an ak to chop q lit
tie wood? We thoroughly understand
that he doesn't hold prolonged CONVEX
sation with single soul.
Or why does Jenkins require three
hours to "run around the corner" and
purchase that butter for which his wife
is patiently (?) waiting9 he surely can
not be gossiping with the grocer.
should like to know, also, why the
majority of men require half the night
to "ride just down to the village" and
deliver short message? That they
never linger to talk we are quite conf
dent, for do they not positively affirm
that women do all the talking ?-S. Je's-

Soop-BubbIe Parties and B0dsstsstoss.

Among the newest fancies in fashion
able society are "soap-bubble parties. /"
They began in New York, and Of course
found ready imitators at the capital.
Like common parties and germans, they
afford an OPT ortunity for the distribu-'
ton of gifts, which, unless conducted
with great delicacy and good taste,
quickly degenerate into vulgar exhibi-
tions of wealth. At recent event of
this peculiar kind the climax of the
evening was reached about IL o'clock,
when large china punch bowl filled
with soap suds was placed upon the CEN
ter table of the rear parlors, the carpets
having been prudentiy screened with
linen, ostensibly for better convenience
in dancing. "Long nine" eighteen
clay pipes were produced, and all tried
to see who could blow the biggest bub-
BILE. Three trials were granted each
person, but all whose bubbles burst were
compelled to desist. There were five
judges to estimate the size OF the bub
bles and to award the prizes, which were
old Knickerbocker pipes, placques and
other dainty souvenirs, to the successful
blowers. The fun was immense as rosy
lips and perfumed mustaches tried their
skill upon the "long nires."
The exclusives Of upper tendon, to
whom no diversion is in good style un-
less newly discovered by themselves,
have dropped lawn tennis as altogether
too common" and given it the go-by,
with croquet and other games in which
$ the herd indulge.
Badminton is. now the correct thing
for lie creme de La creme, as it is compar-
atively new in this country. It is played
with battIedore ond shuttlecock over
net arranged as in lawn tennis. It is
more Of lady's game than tennis prop
er. as it makes less demands upon the
muscles, but depends chiefly upon the
agility Of the player. The coaching and
polo cliques are unanimous in adopting
the new game. Washington letter to

Guests and Their Entertainment.

One Of the evils of the day seems to
be the decline of hospitality. By hos
pitality I mean the hearty, cordial
welcome extended to the unexpected
guest. People nowadays would rather
entertain by the wholesale, so to speak.
They invite society to their house once
a year, and then their duty to society is
done. Or state dinner is given on a
state occasion, and everybody eats such
a variety of dishes with impronounce-
able names that their digestion is ruined
for week. Surely no one can claim
that this is enjoyable.
"But," one of my young friends ex'
claims, "we can't afford to entertain
constantly. My husband has only S2,fa0
a year-so our purse is not long en-
ough."
"My dear, answered, "your grand
mother would have entertained the
President on $4,000 a year."
Never let an unexpected dinner make
you uncomfortable. I always hold The
theory that what is good enough for M
family is good enough for my guest, and
one of the pleasantest homes in which l
visit is that of young couple who live
on less than 49, 900 year. Their house
is so well managed that they can always
afford to give hearty welcome to any
friend who comes, and, although going
in Unexpectedly, I have sat down to
corn beef, cabbage and potatoes, with
fruit for dessert q hope they will for
give me for telling it,, and I can assure
you nothing could have been more ac-
ceptable. The plainest dinner, well
prepared, served on pretty china and
seasoned with everyday talk, is often
enjoyed and remembered.
I think somewhere in my heart I have
a soft spot tor the youngsters just be-
ginning to travel LIES path together.
There comes to my mind little poem

ing Of the glee of merry girl on the
eve of marriage. Her grandmother was
trying to impose on her the fact that it
was a. "solemn thing" but she ex-

views her life with it's
Stockings to darn and bread to make,
& = Dishes to wash and cake to bake.
And then,
The music Of pattering feet,
0randpa's kisses so fond and sweet
Song and prattle the live-long day,
Joy and kisses and love Away.
And at last she concludes as she drops a
tear that ""tis solemner not to" and
think the most of us will agree with her.

called him out for the night, sent note
to friend from the billiard room to the
following effect: "DEAR B.-Come down

:a time tonight. We are going to take
in the town. Don't give it away" They
went out and had time" About 10
o'clock next morning the husband ap-
peared, grip-sack in hand, and entered
his room, where he found his wife crying
by the window. swell, my DEAR" he
said, bracing up as we'll as he could and
trying to look as if he had had long
and tedious ride on the railroad, "I've
got back at last, tired out, but awfully
glad to see you again" He expected
that she would rush into his arms, but
she did nothing of the kind. She looked
up ut him severely with her tear
bedimmed eyes, but never moved.
ooh! you deceitful wretch" she ex-
claimed, after she had gazed at him
until he felt as if he would like to sink
through the floor. 81 never expected
this of you. Oh! how could you? how
could your" and again she burst into
tears. "Why, my darling, what's the
matter now ?" asked he, determined to
stand his ground until he was sure that
she knew his secret. "I sup-up-pose
you too-ook in the tow-own last night |"
she sobbed. st don't now what you

wife, firing up. ST suppose you didn't

the note he had written to his friend
and which the bell-boy had delivered at
No. 1876 instead of No. 2S5. He told his
friend the next day that when he started
out again to take business trip into
