THE PALATLA GALA WEEK.

No feature of the present winters
round of festivities in Florida offers
greater inducements to the average
tourist and pleasure seeker than the en-
tainments offered by Palatka during the

Care in Health and sickness.

Care is prime condition of continued
health, afIirms The Companion, even in per-
sons who are physically vigorous. When,
however, one is stricken with a disease that
naturally ends in death, this care is impera-
tive. By care the patients life may be pro-
longed many years, while a single act OF care
lessness may precipitate fatal result.
Most people when informed that their
heart is seriously affected feel as if there was
but a step between them and death; but the
heart is very strong organ, and even when
greatly INSTRUCTED or weakened can manage,
with the intelligent cooperation OF the pa
tent, to keep the blood carrying life through
the arteries for many years. Often 1t has TO
force the blood through a shriveled opening
not much larger than goose quill; and this
it does by working harder. thus causing its
own enlargement
But the enlargement may at length cause
dangerous thinning of some portion OF its
walls Sometimes the wall OF the aorta-
| the large arterial trunk into which the heart
empties-lose their elasticity, and swell out
| into a great thin tIimor tlleurisml. Some
| times the tough fibegs of the heart are
changed to fat In such cases a fatal tey-
| nination may long be delayed by avoiding
undue excitement.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Manners and Customs That Prevail at
Balls and Dances.


Balls and Dances.
Balls and dances being now in full sway,
as good authority as Mrs Sherwood notes, in
The Mail and Express, a few points that may
be of assistance to those not quite familiar
with the social requirements of such occa-
sons:
In going into society an unknown young
man, who receives an invitation to q ball.
must seek an introduction to young lady
through her chaperon- In our crowded ball
rooms, where there are often three ladies to
one gentleman, the chaperons are generally
very happy TO accede to this request
Nothing can excuse young man for the
absence of good manners, and he should re-
member that ballroom Introduction means
that he is intended to dance with the young
lady, and that wonlanhood should always
command respect, although he may be some
what annoyed, perhaps, by the persistent ef-
forts of some ambitious wall flowers that he
should take her OUT whether he will or no,
he must never forget his good manners
While it is considered very proper TO ask
for invitations for gentlemen to q dance, it is
not considered proper TO ask for invitations
for ladies. The hostess. however, has always
the refuge of saying that Der list is full No
offense should be taken if this request is re-
fused
At all public balls there should be a COM
mittee of ladies to receive The elegance of
a ball depends very much upon the presence
of a recognized hostess.
A young girl should not forget or break
her ballroom engagements. To do her jus
tice, she is not apt to do so, but there ara
some who are careless and hurt the feelings
of modest young men. To hurt any ones
feelings unnecessarily is to prove ones self
not gentlewoman.
Many young ladies find that their men
partners dancing does not realize their ex-
pectations. How can they get rid of him
without hurting his feelingss A young lady
might say, Il am afraid l am aot dancing
your step. If You do not mind, l should like
to sit down and talk awhile" The young
man might declare shat it is his fault"
(which it probably Isl, and then next day he
should go to a dancing master.
The phraseologs of invitation is less for
NAL than it used to be.
''Shall we take turn p has rather replaced
the old fashioned MAY have the pleasure
of dancing with youT' won't you spare me
a dancer Il hope you have left dance for
me-" SIS this my dancer etc. The young
lady is apt to be quite as informal in her re-

net Removes Needles from the Body.
1t is a good recipe for any one who wants
to keep young-not to look young only, but
to be young-that he cultivate a tondness for
games. The more games you know the more
chance of finding somebody who can play at
one of them. Chess has proved boon to
thousands. Backgammon has diverted some
of the greatest minds Pinochle has con-
quered ennui a thousand times, and even sol
itaire can sometimes put the blue deviEi' to
flight. \ man or woman who can play at
all sorts of games and suggest things for
other people to play at is invaluable in COM
pany, and will seldom lack opportunities for
amusement and diversion. He will always
have something to keep him from worrying
and worry makes people old faster than
anything else. He will retain his interest in
life as long as he remains on this planet
There is nothing like a love of games as
preservative. But the love of games Is basel
on something else. At bottom the princi-
pie is that so long as you can keep up lively
interest in things that are going on around
you, just in that proportion you will defy the
benumbing influences of age. Live IN the
| present and the future, and you cannot grow

Prof. Pray's Exhibition.

The audience at the Y. M. C.. A. Hall
on Saturday night was highly amused
and delighted by the wonderful per-
formances of Prof. Pray, and also by the
skill and activity shown in handling the
Chinese bells, the balls, knives, etc., and
also his astonishing feats in bowl and
plate balancing. Many of the spectators
expressed a wish that another similar ex-
hibition might be given when the Pro-
fessor returns from the interior of the
State, where he goes to amuse the resi-
dents of other towns and cities.
