Fine Social Celebrations-Rece
Day and Evening.

Day and Evening.
The midday reception at the United

illumination. There was dense
throng OF ladies and gentlemen, including
a large representation Of the younger

How to Keep Things Moving.

All progress is motion. but not all
motion is progress. In any enterprise,
spiritual or worldly, those eager spirits
whose only concern is to ''keep things
moving" n not always guides to
progress. Activity in q work is ever
necessary, but lever sufficient.
Things must be kept moving" but it
is essential to success that the motion
be toward a right point. and on a right
track. There r retrograde motions,
and backward moves. and down-hill
pushes. In keeping things moving, it
is Of the utmost Importance that fatal
moves be avoided. The first way that
opens itself to view may be the worst
way on which to move. The shortest
cut across may prove to be the longest
way around. The slow and circuitous
approach may be the only approach on
which real progress is possible. We
can not afford, for the sake of indule.
ing u feverish eagerness to keep
things moving. to rush on regardless
OF the warning voices that protest
against u too hasty choice of the di-
rection in which our energies shall b
exercised.-S. s. Timea

WILLIE WINTERS WIT.

8o was Forgotten Once, But f0Pgetfnln00
Ii IN Excussble Fault.
Willie Winter is one of the wits of
the New York press. says Marshall p.
Wilder in his new book. He is a very
salemn-looking fellow. and have heard
that he confines his humorous exuber.
ance to the columns Of the newspaper
on whose staff he has been q valuable
contributor for a good many years. but
the only time I ever heard him speak
in public he was quite equal to the
occasion. 1t was q dinner at which
General Sherman presided. My name
was on the list, but perhaps the Cen
eral had mislaid his glasses. for in
stead Of calling for Wilder he named
Winter. Winter, who had seen the
list himself, arose and remarked grave
ly: Il had found myself almost en-
tirely forgotten here. but General
Sherman. who never yet disappointed
any expectations which we're made of
him, looked for me in the person of my
esteemed friend. Marshall Wilder. I
was not in the least disappointed. 1t
reminded me Of an old yarn about q
negro preacher who used to open a
Bible at random when he went into the
pulpit, and one day he stumbled on q
chapter which is the terror of young
people who attempt to commit the
Bible to memory, and read as follows:
And unto Enoch was born Trad. and
Trad forgot Mehujael, and Mehujael
forgot Methusael, and Methusael forgot
Lamech. and Lamech took unto him
two wives and forgot Jabal. Now. my
beloved bruddern. dis text am meant
to show you firstly dat dem old patri-
archs dey was mighty forgitfuL' Never
mind about the rest"

Protsad to He In style.

The Latest whim Of the Young Ne. w
Prstssd to Ne In style.
1t Is becoming fashionable for mel
70 shave their boards and 60 around
with smooth faces. This applies par
ticularly to the young mon who have
been wearing close-cropped pointed
boards and mustaches as long as the
points Of their boards. 1t is not con.
sidered the best of form for these
young men to be seen in q public bar.
Der shop. OF course to have thei.
faces constantly smooth they mus,
shave themselves or get shaved some.
where. but there is beginning to be a
prejudice against sitting in u line in a
public barber shop. just as there has
been for some time past against sitting
on the public bootblack stands at the
street corners. A man must have his
shoes shined. unless he wears patent
leather or russell shoes. and even then
they need some looking after. but he
is expected to have the work done
in some place where he will not be
seen during the process.
This recent within against appearing
in the public barber shops will not
hurt the barber shops any more than
the prejudice against public bootblack
stands among the same class Of men
has seriously injured the business Of
the bootblacka The class of men who
pay attention to all these things is not
10 large as to hurt the trade of more
than a dozen places.
The theory Of it Is that q mvn is
shaved by his valet and that every
man who car afford to be sufficiently
good form to pay attention to all these
things has enough money or credit to
have q valet; or. if he has not q valet,
to make . bluff at it. On the same
assumption that his man looks after his
clothes and shoes is the other assump-
ton that his man also shaves him. No
young man would be seer
his clothes to his tailor's to be
pressed. and though most Of them who
the creases in their trousers fire.
quently renewed get the work done at
their tailOr's. they make . pretense Of
it done by their man. and to
the other duties Of this man. in many
cases . suppOsititious being. is added
the care Of his masters face.
This fashion Of the smOOth-shaven
face is said to have come from the
just Is actresses influence the
styles Of dress of women. actors have
been to q less extent influencing the
apparel and appearance Of = certain
class Of men. The way of wearing the
hair which was prevalent . year or
two ago was begun by actors. Almost
all actors have smooth faces, especially
all the actors who pose on the
stage and who attract audiences OF
women to admire them.
The fashion Of having a smooth face
Is just coming in. and it has not yet
been taken up to a great extent. A
man may sacrifice his beard, but if he
has q bad mouth or a face which would
be harsh in outline without the curves
Of his mustache to change it. he will
not abandon his present advantages

It was q rapid fire of question

in the Revolutionary war, and the WIS.,

silence. Tho last query put by the
teacher was addressed to an intelligent,
bright-faced little girl in q blue dress.
The teacher asked: when was the
battle Of Yorktown. Susie." ..17S1."
promptly replied Susie. Then one Of
the visitors put q query to Susie. 1t
was: "And what was the battle about,
and where was it fought" Il don't

Susie, promptly and unabashed. and as

People in New York know but little
about their own hotels. The Fifth
Avenue Hotel was built By no less dis
tinguished parsonage than Amos Emo,
of Canada. The Windsor was built by
John T. DAILY, and after his death it
went 20 J. j. Belden. Curtis Judson,
who had no great sum of money on
hand, secured good backing somewhere
and built the BrevoOrt. 1t was named
after James Casson Brevoort, whose
agents were seemingly warm personal
friends of Judson. II is suspected that
the BrevOOrt estate furnished the money,
because they believed that one OF the
best hotels in New York should be
named after their ancient and honorable
family. The Metropolitan and the
Park Avenue hotels grew out of the
great A. T. Stewart estate. The Metro
politan was originally built by one of
the sons Of stephen Van Rensselaer,, who
sold it 10 Mr.. Stewart in 1880. The
Gilsey was built by Peter Gilsey. And
so on down the list it might be seen
that every hotel in New York is an
epitOme Of family history.

Edmund G. Ross, lately Gov
ernor of New Mexico, and twen-
ty odd years ago United States
Senator from Kansas, has re-
turned to the printers case in
the composing room of a Sante
Fe newspaper. The sturdy in
dependence of character that
enabled him to resist immense
pressure and stand by his con-
victions in casting the deciding
vote for President Johnson's
acquittal is evinced in his quiet
return to labor at his trade
His administration as Governor
of New Mexico was as able as it
was incorrnptible, and during
his public service he has ac-
cumulated no fortune. But he
does not consider himself a
poor man, so long as he is pos.
sessed of the always available
capital of knowledge of his
craft. This Cincinnatus of the
printers is an exemplary figure
in our current history. IN. Y,
