The ELECTRIC Kissing Party.

There is large New England element
in the social economy Of Brooklyn, and it
is responsible for many innovations that
for nine days disturb the conservatism Of
the city beyond the East river. One OF
the latest fads IS the electric kiss. which
originated in Boston, and was introduced
here by q young lady who had attended
an ante-Lenten party on Beacon Hill. II
is thus described by young lady partici-
pant:
THE ladies and gentlemen range them
selves about the room. This being leap
year the lady selects a partner, and to-
gether they shuttle about On the carpet
until they are charged with electricity,
the lights in the room having first been
turned low. Then they kiss in the dark,
and make the sparks fy Tor the amuse-
ment Of the oalookers. On, the shock is
delightful. l have never been but to one
electric party, but understand that after
a young lady has played the game for a
while it IS impossible TO give her shock.
Probably the gentleman don't shuttle his
feet hard enough on the carpet. Gracious
I'm afraid I should wear the soles of my
shoes.
The electric kissing parties are growing
rapidly in popularity. in spite Of this be
ing leap veal New York Evening sun.

Architecture East and west.

Inc Americans are the quickest people
In the world 70 adapt themselves to new
situations. The western people travel
much, at home and abroad, and they do
not require very long experience to know
what is in bad taste They are as onick
as anybody-I believe they gave "a the
phrase-to catch on TO quietness and a
10" tone. Indeed, don't know but they
would boast that il it is question Of sub
dued style, they can beat the world. The
revolution which has gone az over the
country since the exposition Of 1876 In
house furnishing and decoration is quite
as apparent at the west as in the east.
The west has not suffered more than
the east from eccentricities of architecture
IN the past twenty years. Violations of
good taste are pretty well distributed, but
OF new houses the proportion Of hand
some, solid, good structures is as large in
the west as in the east, and in the cities /
think the west has the advantage in
variety. 1t must be frankly said that il
the easterner is surprised at the size, cost
and palatial character Of many Of their
residences he is not less surprised BY the
refinement and good taste of their in
teriors. There are cases where money Is
too evident, where the splendor has been
ordered, but there are plenty Of other
cases where individual taste is apparent,
and love Of harmony and beauty. What
am trying to say is that the east under
values the real refinement Of living going
along with the admitted cost and luxury
in the west.-Charles Dudley Warner
in Harper's Magazine.

photography Of the affair being sent
broadcast over the countr-, and many Of
the kodak nsnipulators consented TO
his request and left the place. One chap
with fine instrument would not listen
to anything and insisted on taking a
picture. AT last the superintendent told
him he was trespassing on the conpany's
grounds. and the man with the kodak
remarked that he would go to an adjoin-
ing field and secure view.
The superintendent told him that he
would be trcspassing there also. This
made the chap angry. Mr. Hustled is an
exceedingly mild hammered man, but he
grew warm under the collar. Il have

claimed he, "and you won't let me

heved that Hustled would make dis word
good, for he went back to Oxford on a
work train.
While Superintendent Hustled was
thus engaged Chief Engineer Porter and
his assistants were chasing kodak fends
over the surrounding country with clubs.

hold choice points Of view, but it's fair
to guess that they are load1d with snap
