Quapaw Guards to attend the inauguration
of President Cleveland. They will meet
the Porter Rifles, Crescent City Guards,
Mobile Rifles, Houston Light Guards and
Chickasaw Guards, forming combination
of the young men Of the Southwest, to
wish we'll the new administration.
Capt. John Waters, who is SO beloved
and respected by our young militia-men,
has promised to take command Of our
Quapnws. This is largely due, we learn
to the bright and energetic Mr.. Coll An
drews, who is using his influence and per-
suasion in regard to the enterprise.

The Catholic concert on Wednesday
evening, at the new Concordia Hall, was a
great success as it we'll deserved to be, for
so laudible a purpose. The programme
was excellent, the solos were by Mrs. Kat
zenberg, Mrs. Williams and Mr.. Hollen-
berg, and the recitations by Miss Nellie
Cunningham and Mr.. Fay Hampstead.
The Quartette composed of Mrs. Williams
Mrs. Katzenberg, Messrs. Konertz and
Grelling is in fine practice, and reflects
much credit upon Mrs. Williams and Mrs.
Kerr. The German song by the German
song by the Germania club was novel
pleasure.

TRINITY EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL.

IhlNIII EPlDGOPAI CAIHEDRAIs
Several weeks ago Che ladies interested
in the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral an
nounced their intention of giving three
entertainments on the nights of the 10Th,
18th and 18th of December.
This will be the first time that this
church has ever been before the public for
benefit, and it is their intention to make
it not only profitable, but beautiful and
entertaining.
There will be many new features never
before introduced here. There will be no
"rafie," "pound parties" or "tea parties. I"
There will be booths of all nations occupied
by lovely yoAng ladies dressed in national
costume. These booths are in charge of
we'll known society ladies whose presence
there will insure success.
Several Of the most fashionable ladies in
the city have the dressing Of the dolls
under their care and are doing their best
to make the toilets of the dolls sold at this
entertainment quite beyond any ever be-
fore offered for sale here.
Parents or friends intending to purchase
pretty dolls can well afford to wait until
then before purchasing. One large and
very beautiful doll will be on exhibition
several days before the Bazaar opens.
Every evening during the bazaar there
will be music and dramatic entertainments
and everything that goes to make an enter
ment of the kind desirable.

on window gardening which will NIL '9
prove Of some value to those whoarp d..
trying to find out different ways Of e,a, saA
and arranging flowers. First. nroo..
wooden box, quite shallow. and -
twelve inches long and eight inches wiz
and if convenient line it through The +

dirt is very good, as I have used + f.
growing plants and they seemed to tb,iv,
splendidly-then mix with this chin dr.
some leaf mould, if it can be procured and

now you have your box ready to Dl,

flowers you like. I have box in which
is planted Coleus, Ivy, Verbenas Potu.

a miniature window garden. I think th |
if one would plant in box a row d
Hyacinths, low Of tulips and row d
Crocuses, and have them all bloom at iii
same time, it would be beautiful sigh
and in winter who would not eDic
them? | think it is so cheerful to SCI
flowers in winter-even green leavesan :
pretty in winter. [ would advise every
one to grow the Green Wandering Jew
and keep it through the winter, asti
quite easily kept; if watered occasional
with ammonia water twill keep green and
grow luxuriantly through the winter. w
have some growing in a hanging basket
that has grown to the length OF SIX tH
and nine inches, and every one who sees
admires it. It is the longest one h7
ever seen. When you have your box
filled with plants you can ornament lta
the outside by covering it with rough Dal
which can be procured by taking wall
in the country around the woods, and OH
when it is covered, varnish it with Dani

er pretty ornament is to take a DOW
