May-day hop and the Stoneman recep-

affairs appeared the following morning

happenings of the four hundred and ten

REVOLUTION.
There is a revolution brewing. Who
ever imagines that in society there is no
vaulting ambition that often overleaps
itself, no thirst for power, no welding of
a despotic scepter,is much mistaken. So
ciety always has its absolute rulers, and
they often are overthrown and new ones
installed. Such is the matter which is
now being agitated here. Los Angeles
has its McAllster, who has had full
power of making up visiting lists, and
of giving social ratings, in their way
as important as those which come from
Bradstreet's or Dunn's.
The spirit of revolution is abroad,
however. A large party want new
king, and the present arbiter eleganti-
arum objects to beingI deposed. So the
matter stands. =

fuence, but OH which banner victory
will perch, remains to be seen.

"Have good time, instead of work.
ing, and help Others do the same" is
ones answer.
"How do you expect to make any
money!" number one continues, like
true woman unwilling to abandon old
stand-bys without good reason.
"Well, we argue this way" and her
instructor punctuates each word with
shake of the three-feet measure she has
been using, "we have had hard times
they are over, it is true-but people fell
into the habit OF spending as little
money as possible, and they have to be
brought back to the comfort of that
enjoyment gradually. So, if we have
something really good to see and hear
for their 25 cents, and don't expect
them to patronize twenty or thirty
booths, more people will come, and in
this way we shall make just as much as
if we had more to SELL"
''Well, perhaps it's good plan for
the present time" doubtfully admits
the lady, feeling, perhaps, a little COM

pleasant place to spend the evening
