A dinner dance is an idea imported from
England and improved on here. II ranks
with many of the good things that are
amusing and fascinating because they are

which in the good old days that are gone
we hear so often, when men drank hard
and deep, seems much more in The order
of things. The dance after a dinner is
often a punishment of pleasure. The
dinner dance is only reception with sew
eral hostesses instead Of one, and the eat
ing preceding instead of following. IL thas
brought about one change. III one must
dance. one must have dancing legs, conse-
elders Mt the festive board, and they natur-
ally welcome the change with delight.
TO he invited to dinners is an advance
to certain grade of social distinction
and recognition for which debutantes

The New Application of Hyp,nuotIsm.


Hypnotism and studies in hypnotic
phenomena have grown in Importance
during the past few years, until every
thing written upon the subject is eagerly
grasped by the public. Recently a new
application of the science, which may
revolutionize domestic life and relieve
marriage of many of its tcrrors, has come
to light. Paradoxically, the event
happened in Philadelphia. Not long
ago George Stearns, law-abiding cit-
zen of Pennsylvania, entered into the
solemn matrimonial contract wearing the
conventional black with lavender gloves.
Last Christmas Day little George became
aregular worshipper at the Stearns cottage.
From his first appearance he exoclled in
the role of coyote imitator. The neigh
bors say he was the worst baby ever born
in Philadelphia, and when II is known
that that Is the place where John Wana-
maker was brought up It's full meaning

Editor Critic: The publication in The
Critic on the 22d of January relative to
grave robbing at Harmony Cemetery does
me great Injustice and there is no doubt
but that your paper has been grossly i'm
posed upon. The charge that the remains
of the late Albert NJ. Lee were stolen, or
in any way disturbed by ghouls IS en-
tirelv false. Nodetectives were employed,
no money paid, and the whole story Is a
malicious falsehood and gross imposition
upon your paper and the public.
The facts in the case are as follows On
the 10Th day of December last the de-
ceased was brought to the cemetery, and
finding it a case of typhoid fever the un-
dertaker and family were informed by
me that il could only remain in the vault
one week, and the vault card was made
out accordingly. On the first day Of jan
uary, not having heard from any mem
ber of the family, | ordered the body
buried in the section for single graves:
About three days afterward three
women called at my house to see me, but
] was not at home. They met me, how
ever, in the street, and explained to me
that they were prevented by bad weather
from visiting the cemetery, but had seen
my clerk. They said the family owned O
haIf.site. I explained to them the ne
ccssity Of putting the body in the ground
and at their request called to see Mr.
Robinson and fixed day and hour te
have the body lisinterred and reinterred
This was DONE and the body was viewed
through the glass ON the coffin by thu
three women, five workmen and myself
1t was in excellent condition and had no
been disturbed. Not one cent wa.
charged for disintcrrmcpt. The only
money paid was So for vaultage and ~ fol
digging the grave.

rare good luck when she could put in
twelve hours day and get sixty cents for
| it. Now she is 30 years old, is tired of the
grind, has breakfasted, dined and s1pped

| city full of churches and charities it is
easier for a poor girl to die than to live.

YFor the latter picture" the New York
Tribune relates, ''Meissonicr had the coat
worn by Napoleon l., copied by tailor
with Chinese exactitude.' He put the
garment on himself, mounted wooden
horse in his studio saddled like the EN-
peror' steed, and passed hours in studying
his figure and the fall of the skirts in
mirror Probably the best kown of
Meissonier's works certainly of his Napo-
leonic pictures, Is the 1897, " "a page of
history, but, unlike the 1874, page of
triumph" Upon the 1902 the artist
worked for fifteen years, and it remains,
we believe the largest of his works. He
modelled all the horses in wax, and every
figure was drawn from life. This is the
picture for which the late A. I. Stewart
paid 10000, and which Judge Hilton pur-
chased from his estate and presented to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
At the international Exhibition held in
Paris in 1867 Meissonier was represented
bv fourteen pictures, lie received one of
the eight grand prizes. The same year
he was made commander Of the Legion Of
Honor. In 1877 he sent to the Salon O
portrait of Dumas. He also painted
portraits Of Mr.. W. II. Vanderbilt, sena-
tor Leland Stanford and Mrs. ]. w.
Mackey. The latter was displeased with
hers and destroyed it, occasionng no
small amount of gossip. This was in
1888. Out of the unfortunate affair grew
the Meissonier exhibition of May, 1884,
intended by the friends Of the artist as, in
a way, q "vindication."
