thropist. yetshe feels that the world should
and ought to be cognizant of the sumptuous
hospitality with which he entertains his
friends; how that the elegant Mr.. Blank
gave a grand dinner to select few, what
the menu was and how all pronounced their
host A No. at giving dinners; wondered
who his chef was and where did they sup
pose Blank got hold of such clever hand.
Is it conceit? If 80, surely tits an inno-

and whether told in privacy by a friend, or
in well constructed sentences which the
public can read and comment upon, is none
the less wholesome.
Deep-seated in the minds Of a civilized
people is love for the beautiful, the su-
blime and the ideal. There is a constant
striving for things above and beyond, and
he who ceases to reach for such relapses
into cynic and a materialist. We need
not visit museums of antiquities, art gal
leries, the halls and palaces of the barons.
The Muses. are right here among us, in
every home they seek to beaut:fy and ide-
alize. If we are not permitted, through
lack of financial ability, to entertain or
dress as our neighbor in another part of tho
city, it may help us to know of the beauti-

people here have the welfare of all worthy,
industrious women at heart, and for this
reason have established home where they
can be entertained for a nominal sum.

Little Miss Dorothy Luke issued invita-.
tions to thirteen of her baby friends to helr
her in celebrating her first birthday, or
Thursday afternoon. A few of the invited
guests were able to walk upright as is the
way of man, while the remainder had to re

Darwin would have Us believe our fore
fathers we're wont to do. Seated in circle
on the carpet the little maids and laddies
played with dolls, blocks, toy dogs and sucl
