SOCIAL GJIMPSES.

The musicale given at the residence of
Mrs. c. W. Griggs Monday evening, for
the benefit of the day nursery, proved a
most successful event, financially as
well as socially. BY O'clock, a select
audience of about 100 ladies and gentle
men assembled in the elegant parlorS.
which were elahOrately decorated with
natural flowers for the occasion.
The programme was made up of the
choicest musical gems, and was rem
dered in such manner as to evoke the
hearty plauditS of those present. Paul
Stoeving, the young vIOliniSt, played
several difficult pieces with characters
tic finish and expression. His first Sc
lection was 'Tarantelle," by Deborah.
He afterwards rendered an andante
from the E minor concerto of Mendels-
sohn, closing with a nocturne. by
Chopin. The Park church choir, COM
posed of MeSSrS. Lacy and Merrill and
Misses Johnson and Thurston, added
materially to the pleasure of the even
ing by their splendid concert singing.
The individual members of the choir
also sang delightful solo numbers.
A party of young people from the city
were royalty entertained by Mrs. r. B.
Galusha at her White Bear lake cottage
on the Fourth. Those who enjoyed her
hospitality were Misses Eva Gauthier,
Mcclellan, Margaret Hall, Julia Nc
Clellan and MeSsrS. George Scott, j. B.
Hubbell, j., G. j. Ingalls,, j. ID. Miller
and A. E. Horn.
Mrs. NJ. COnheim, Jr., of Pine street,
gave a very pleasant afternoon party
last week to few of her friends in
honor of Mesdames Fuchs and Grove,
of Chicago. Those present were
Mesdames Grove, Fuchs, Abarle, A. III.
FlarSham. w. Flarsham, Hartmann,
l. Starn, Hook, and Miss Lulene Harm.
A pleasant little party composed of
Misses Lohlker, Schiffman, Middleton,
Meyers, Watkins, Natrass, and Messrs.

Schiffman, Prior and Egle picnicked

Gen. and Mrs. Mark d. Flower enter
tanned the Kangaroo club in honor of
Miss Eta Hawkins last Thursday even
ing. The talented young actress and
her promising sister, Miss Adah, gave
several recitationS and songs during the
evening.
Miss Gertrude .&enting, of 400 Collins
street, entertained the Warrington club
last Saturday evening. The young peo-

winding a bandage about its body after
it has been bathed and perfumed. The
little creature is then placed on it's back,
its arms and feet are Strengthened, and
the entire body is swathed to the shoul-
derS.
In this position it remains motionless
for forty days, but the bandage is re-
moved twice day that the child may
have a bath. The Arabs believe that
this process will make the body straight
for life. Under such circumstances it
seems fortunate that babyhOod is not a
period which can be remembered in
after years, for nobody would choose to
suffer such days Of misery again, even in
recollection.
If the child be girl. on the seventh
day after her birth, holes. usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
ring are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime, except during
periods of mourning for her relatives.
On the fortieth day the baby'S head is
Shaved-a ceremony which could scarce
ly be performed in our own country,
where thick hair is usually of later
growth. This operation is considered a
very important one, and thirty or forty
persons are witnesses Of it for the per-
formance of certain rites.
The disposal of the first hair is re-
garded as very weighty matter; it
must not be burned nor carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea or hidden in some crevice of a
wall.
The fortieth day marks turning
point in the child's life. Heretofore it
has only been seen by its parents, the
slaves on duty and a few intimate
friends of the family; now, however, it
may be seen by anybody, and is re-
garded as fairly launched on the tide Of
existence.
Several charms are attached to it's
body for protection against the ''evil
eye," boys wearing them to certain
age, and girls still longer. The favor
ite charm consists of gold or silver
locket, worn on a chain.
The smallest children among the
Arabians are strongly perfumed; every
thing they use, from their clothing to
articles of toilet, is covered at night
with jessamine. and before it is used is
fumugated with amber and musk and
sprinkled with ottar of roses.

TIMELY TOPICS.

It is commonly supposed that women
are painfully sensitive about anybody'S
detecting just where art comes to the
assistance of nature in their makeup.
AS matter Of fact. however. the major
ity of them are perfectly Indifferent to
it. A blessed old church member sought
last Sunday, as she was making her way
out ChriSt's church, to bring worldly
minded sister to a realization of the fact
that "loyelineSS unadorned is adorned
the most" and that the penetrating eye
of the world can always see where
adOrnment begins. Said Mrs. Sallow-
skin to Mrs. PoWder-puff: "How sweet

''fOr you never see me come in with

In dry goods store the other day one
young lady said to another, "eXcuse me,
dear, but large cinder has evidently
landed on your temple and you have
perspired so that it looks quite ugly"
The young woman stepped up to a
convenient mirror, gave one SQuint at
herself, calculated something that
sounded sinfully like big, big ID, and
explained, III Is UOU q Cllu6f aG ails

sympathetically, while the afflicted
young woman proceeded to soak up her

WOMAN.

Jealous, am 7? let's say rather
am only over-human,
inst the excess that is ever
Bodied in the world-a woman.
Thy small virtues in us flourish
Till they topple over vices.
And the strength thro' which we perish
Proves weakness in a crisis.
Love gives thee the power to fight, sir,
And, when thou art its defender,
Be the cause the wrong or right, sir,
We've the courage to-surrender.
Thy small virtues have small needs, sir;
Our great vices know no filling
When we love thee in our greed, sir,
We would all if thou vert willing.
Thou art satisfied if given
Kingdoms of this earth, but we, sir,
Break our hearts to rule the heaven
That we yainly seek in thee, sir.
Thy subtraction and division
Greek to US, we're only skilled in
Multiplying, with precision
Adding up what we are willed in.
All in all thou art to me, sir.
I've no eyes for any other,
And it maddens me to see, sir,
Thee TO all the world q lover.
That sweet blossom on thy breast there,
would tear to bits for daring
To dispute my right to rest where
Only me thou should'st be wearing.
When thy lips part, simply saying
To some WOMAN, ''Good-day, madam"
] could kill her for betraying
More than me thy smile doth gladden..
Why, the dog thou art caressing,
would rather he were dead, sir,
That thy hand might so be pressing
On me fondly in his stead, sir.
Jealous, am 1? Nay, nay, never,
But to please me thou must be, sir,
Deaf, and dumb, and blind forever
Unto everything but me, sir. F. n

In1S56 and 1860 the Republican party

nation. In 1888 it has sunk to a party
of special interests based upon the

characterization of Mr.. Blaine's s'rebel

1t ;s . little dangerous for the aver
age Democratic editor to write on the
tariff. He gets muddled or else wilfully
misstates. Here is a specimen:
What protection does the tariff give
printers, what to the carpenters, what to
the masons, what to the vast army of la
borers, what to the merchants, what to
the millers?
Not one cent; but. on the contrary, it
Increases tho cost of their timed goods,
of their sugar. of their rice, Of their pot
terry, of their carpets, of their clothes, of
their bedding, of their houses, of their
furniture, of their household utensils,
and of their tools.
Protection canses the production Of
manufactured goods at home that other
wise would be made abroad and sold here.
Were 1t not for this protection, goods
from Germany, where wages of workmeu
are as low as so cents per day, land from
other European countries where labor is
far cheaper then in the United States),
would be brought in competition with our
own, necessitating either correspond
ing reduction of wages or cessation of
manufacturing. Plenty of work aud
good wages for those employed in the
protected industries. makes good times

So far from tho tariff increasing the
cost of pottery, carpets, etc.-it has been
the means of reducing the cost. All the
articles named above were never cheaper
than at present.
But when sugar and rice are named by
q Democratic editor, it is evident that he
has not read up The Mills bill. which
the Democratic party has endorsed and
the Democratic House has passed, puts o
duty of GO per cent. on sugar---or twt
