THE EVENING DINNER.
1t is a Digniied Meal, and is
Becoming More Universal.

Twenty or thirty years ago the late
dinner vas not nearly so popular as
it is now. The majority of people
dined in the middle of the day, and
not q few of them considered a six
o'clock dinner as an effort after
fashion that was unworthy the imita-
ton of sensible men and women.
Even in large cities servants rebelled
against an alteration of the time hon
ored custom OF serving the principal
meal of the day at or near noon, while
in small towns thelate dinner was SO
unusual that it was almost impossible
to persuade domestics to consent to 1t.
A marked change has taken place
in the fashion. The evening dinner
has for years been steadily gaining in
popularity, and promises to become
even more common than it is now.
Thoughtful men and women recog-
nize the wisdom of eating lightly at
midday, when they are in the full
tide of business, and reserving the
heartiest repast for an hour when 1t
can be discussed leisurely and di-
gested peacefully. Mistresses have
learned that there is a gain in keep
ing the morning free for ~housework,
instead of deyoting most of it to the
preparation Of the dinner. The light
lunch eaten in most homes demands
much less time in cooking and eating
than does a dinner, and leaves those
who have partaken of it more iii for
work than they would be were their
stolmaehs burdened with the task of
digesting soup, meat, vegetables and
dessert.
The late dinner is a more dignified
meal than can possibly be made OF a
similar repast eaten at noon. The
festal appearance impaired by the
CLEAN of candles, lamps or gas upon
silver, china and glass cannot be
acquired by daylight. The pleasant
reunion around the board of the
members of the family, whose posi-
lions and interests have been diver
gent since morning, the happy con
seriousness that the work of the day is
done, the knowledge that there is no
toll waiting at the door of the dining
room. all bear their share iii
rendering the meal cheerful and
care-free. More ceremony can and
should be preserved at the evening
dinner than is feasible at noon. The
orderly sequence of courses and the
careful serving have a part in adding
to the dignity Of the meal.
These suggestions should not
brighten the housekeeper who con-
templates introducing the late dinner
in her household. Very little extra
work is involved in bestowing the
touch of state referred to, and, after
all, it consists chiefly in a slight addi-
tional care in waiting and serving,
and to these the mistress can readily
accustom the maid. -Christine Ter
hune Heryick, IN Hagpeg's Bozdr.

a Nrascullne Femininity.

Another levy on the masculine ward
robe? This TIME it is the nightrobe,
which has been used as a model for a
severe style of nightwear that has met
with immense success. While there is
no prettier garment in her trousseau
than a feminine robe de mutt, there
are many women, especially of limited
means whe will rejoice in the replica.
1t means small laundry bills, better
service, fewer holes to mend and
greater comfort. The lace-embellish-
ed, ribbon run and yoke WASTED robe,
while a pretty thing to look at. is far
from the ideal garment.
In the first place. it is always ready
for repair after the initial wash, and
it is not every woman who can mend
lace even when she has the time. Elm
broideries wear little better, and it
only takes a couple Of washes of this
delicate but holey finery to give a
woman the reputation of being a
slattern. And then the yoke. It
rarely fits, and if too tight binds the
shoulders and keeps the occupant in
a night struggle to free herself.
Now comes the masculine model,
with its deep collars and cuffs, its
roomy pocket, it's box-plaited back.

all, the simple trimming OF needle

frilled and inserted with Valenciennes

The Cannon Incidental Logical
Result.

The scene in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday appears to have
been about the most d~isgraceful on
record in any civilized legislative
body. Not in the most turbulent
scenes in the French Chambers, in
Congress itself, OF in the worst of
State Legislatures, has any ~utterance
so shocking been heard as that of Mr..
Cannon, of Illinois.
But that Individual actIwas not the
worst feature of the occasion. Mr..
Cannon's individual expression sim
ply stamped him as a blackguard, un-
fit for the society of decent men. The
really shameful phase of the affair,
that which gives it q national impor-
portance, makes it a national dis
grace, was that the majority party in
the House endorsed the outrage on
decency and protected the perpe-
traitor.
This lamentable occurrence may
have its utility, however. 1t will
serve to show the public whether the
Federal Congress is drifting under the
dictatorship of Boss Reed and his
ollgarchy. This man has put his
foot on all rules, has stamped out
order and has banished courtesy and
even decency from the House. He
has substituted a reign of selfish, in
decent, brutal lawlessness for the ira
ditional parliamentary code and it is
not to be wondered at that the intern
perate and ill-bred DICTIONARIES of his
party should crafty their own pas
sions in the same way that he in
dulges the licentious will of his party.
All these things will properly be is
sues in the coming Congressional cam
paign. One of the leading questions
for the people will be whether or not
violence and disorder are to be the
animating principles of national Leg
islation.

in behalf of its veteran soldiers. The
adjutant general is a busy pension agent

sisting those who are unable to help

persons have been rendered valuable aid
in having their claims adjusted. In
1880 a Joint resolution was introduced
in the legislature which authorized the
adjntant general TO give attention to
many claims then pending before the
pension department. The work was as

How tho Arabs Take Ten.

The mistress of the tent, placing a
large kettle on the fire, wiped it care
fully with horses tail, filled 1t with
water and then threw in some coarse
tea and a little salt. When this was
near the point of boiling she tossed
the tea about with brass ladle until
the liquor became very brown, and
then it was poured off into another
vessel. Cleansing the kettle as be-
fore. the woman set it on the fire in
order to fry paste of meal and fresh
butter. Upon this the tea and some
i iau put in requisition again, and
after a time the whole taken off the
fire and set aside to cool. Half-pint

and the tea ladled into them, this tea
forming meat and drink, and satisfy
ing both hunger and thirst. However
made, tea is blessed invention for

She was struck by the tender,
and hung on tcnaciously to an
iron bar, but the wheel caught
her foot and compelled her to let 20
her hold, crushing her left leg from

brought his engine to standstill,
leaving the unfortunate woman be-
tween the front and hind wheels of

nate woman, and no blame is attached

extreme.

versed with him OH the subject and
endeavored to lay before him the adj
vantages of Roanoke. He told him
that the Roanoke and Southern rail
road would certainly be built,
and that it would open upa splendid
iron district in Franklin county. He
also adverted to the fact that the iron
mines in the immediate vicinity would
meetaall the demands of his business,
and likewise referred to the extensive
iron deposits in Craig county which
would in all probability be made
available to his purposes in few years
by the extension of the railroad from
New Castle to this city. He seemed
much impres sed with the advantages
of Roanoke as an iron centre and said
he would stop here on his return from
Pulaski, and would thoroughly con-
slider the claims of this city for an
industry such as he proposed.
