This specimen of Sweets to the Sweet
is from the Chicago Daily News:
We have taken a good deal of pains to find
out whether Miss Ada c. Sweet, pension
agent at this point. hss been guilty of any of
that partisanship which is alleged to be the
only grounds upon which Republican officials
will be removed from Office by the national
admin -lration. Miss Sweet herself is a very
charming young lady, apparently not more
than 25 years of sge, and she dresses in
great taste, though with becoming simplicity.
Miss Sweet assures us that she has never par
ticipated in politics; such has been her con-
scientious regard for her official duties that
she had not even voted since her appoint
ment as pension agent and she expressly for
bade the young ladies in the office from par
ticipating in any OF the night parades during
the last campaign. 1t was true that after Mr.
Bsine's nomination last June she had pur-
chased new bonnet on which there was
white ostrich plume-it was possible that this
might have given otfense 10 the Democrats,
bot the ofense was unintended aud could not
by any means be magnified into a reasonable
excuse tor her removal.

Society at Richmond at the beginning OF
This Century.

Society at Richmond at the beginning of
This Century.
1t would be worth while, had we the
space, to present here characteristic
sketch of Richmond society at the be-
ginning of this century. The cravat
was the important part of a gentleman's
;oilet. A Richmond exquisite Of the
first decade of this cen ury vested him
self like a silk-worm in the ample folds
If his cravat. His valet held one end
md he the other of the long thin
texture, the former walked round his
master till both ends met, when they
were tied in large bow. If the gentle
man did not enjoy the luxury Of valet,
one end of the cravat was tied to the
oed-post, and he walked toward the
latter, turning all the while, and wrap
ping his neck in his cravat till he was
wound up like an Egyptian mummy.
The stiff collar of the dress-coat stood
as high as the ears, and was kept back
several inches from the head to enable
the wearer to turn to the right or the
left. Buckskin breaches and top-boots
completed the gentleman's apparel, the
perfection of both depending on the
;ightness of the fit. A quarter of a
century earlier-that is, about the time
IF the American Observation-Disclosures
was smaller town than either Norfolk
Or Fredericksburg. Its safe and GEN.
ral position caused it TO be selected as
The capital OF the State, but in the year
l775 it was cluster Of villages rather
than a town.
The gentleman OF Richmond ut that
time wore an old-fashioned dress
breeches, stockings, largo roomy coats,
cooked hats, and knee-buckles. They
figured in magnificent waist-coats
covered with flowers in gold threads,
and reaching to their knees. hig-heeled
shoes, queues tied with gay ribbons,
and a snowy storm of powder on the
hair.
The favorite amusement of the most
stylish Richmond ladies at that time
was a game of cards called loo. The
ladies met at each others houses, and
after discussing dish OF tea and an
other of gossip, the card-table was
brought out. Gentlemen were admit
ted to this entertaining circle, and he
who played the most careless and
dashing game was the most welcome,
provided he was not 100 successful in
his winnings The stakes were small.
but by forfcits, etc., tho money in tho
pool would sometimes accumulate until
it amounted to $50, S75, and 800.
Then the game became intensely inter
esting. The practice of gaming be.
came at last a social evil; domestic
duties were neglected, mothers forgot
their children, wives rihed the pocket
books of their husbands; gentlemen
gambled away their gold vest buttons
and ladies their earrings and bracelets
carried away by the mad spirit OF loo.
The burning OF the Richmond Theatre
on the 26th OF December, 1911, by
which seventy-two valuable lives were
lost, changed the light tone of societ!
to one of a gravcr and more seriou

An Ancient Burial Custom.


At recent meeting Of the Antlro-
biological Society of London, Mr.. j. G.
Frazer read paper ION Certain Burial
Customs as Illustrative of the Primitive
Theory of the Soul" The Romans had
a custom that when man who had
been reported to have died abroad re-
turned home alive, he should enter the
house not by the door. but over the
roof. The custom (Which is still OBJ
served in Persia) owed its origin to GER
tain primitive beliefs and customs with
regard to the dead. The ghost of an
unburied man was supposed to haunt
and modest the living, especially his rel
atives. Hence the importance attached
to the burial of the dead, and various
precautions were taken that the ghost
should not return. When the body of
a dead man could not be found, he was
buried in eligy, and this fictitious burial
was held to be sufficient to lay the
wandering ghost, for it is a principle Of
primitive thought that what is done to
the effigy of man is done to the man
himself. Academy.
