partake of an elaborate repaSt. But 1t
is quite another thing to be willing to
stay the departing visitor, who starts to
his feet as the dinner or tea bell rings,
and to urge him to remain and share in
the family fare. Too often, when the
invitation is given, it is with a manner
that says as plainly as spoken words,
"Go" And yet in this ability to give
an unexpected guest meal consists to
some the very cream of hospitality.
One reason for the hesitation the
housekeeper feels in bringing chance
visitors to the family board arises from
false shame. Not realizing that cor
dial welcome is at once the best appe-
tiZer and sauce for a plain meal, she is
unwilling to have stranger dine upon
the provision which she considers Suffl-
cient in quality for her home circle
Herein is a great mistake. A woman
who has had to order the bill of fare for
her own table, week after week, longs
often with a hungry craving for some
thing cooked anywhere but in her own
kitchen and by her direction. To her
the simplest fare at friends table
will have a flavor that the richest food
would lack had she been obliged to SUI
perintend its preparation.
Another stumbling block in the way
of everyday hospitality arises from the
fact that the appearance of the table
and those who surround it is not always
such as it would be desired that OutSid erS
should see. The blunder of thinking
that anything is good enough for home
folks is a common one. Not that full
dress parade should be in operation all
the time. 1t would be as absurd in a
family of limited circumstances to have
the table always set out with the finest
napery, delicate cut glass and fragile
porcelain as to expect the members OF
the household to appear at each meal
arrayed in silks aud laceS. 1.-The eternal
fitness of things" should determine all
such points. But there is no reason
why cloth and napkins should not be
clean and whole, and even plated silver.
stone china and pressed glass, if such
must be in daily use. bright and shining
Nor should the little adornments of
the table be regarded only when com
pany is expected. 1t is not the easiest
matter in the world for every family,
when flowers are worth more than their
weight in silver, to have vase of them
always fresh OH the table. There are
pretty substitutes, however. that are
neither expensive nor troublesome. A
pot of small, hardy ferns, one of prim-
roses, oxalis or dwarf geranium in
bloom, or even when it is out of bios

no effect on the girls, who seemed in a
twitter of expectation. They paid little
attenti OH to the play until the leading
juvenile man entered. Then they
gazed upon him with breathleSS eXpec-

"Oh. he's just lovely"
"lsn't he picture in a dress suit?'
By this time that part of the audience
near by realized what was going on, and
watched as carefully as did.
1t did not take the actor long to locate
the couple, and he played most of his
scenes to them, and covered them with
delight and confusion.

Then their attention was distracted by
the entrance of the pretty coincidence
of the company, to whom their hero
began to make love with the most ap-
proved stage feryor.
''Clara" eyed her scornfully and
jealOuslv.
WHO'S that thing?"
Her companion read the name off on
the bill.
''Pooh! That's only acting. He
doesn't care for her."

UNDER THE NEW CHARTER.

The first real experience of city ad-
ministration was felt last night, when
the board of public works and the
police force were organized, and the
mayor exercised for the first time his
veto power.
There is strong feeling that the new
charter will be an effective force. 1t
has the right spring and touch. The
separate functions of the various
branches of government seem to har-
monte as never before.
In one important point, however, Coun-
Gil should 60 slow. Werefer to the mat
ter of creating new offices. The revenue
of the city will be strained to the utmost
in providing for its absolute needs and
strict economy should be exercised.
1t will not do to create an Office al
every opportunity. Rather should they
be lessened by simplifying the ma.
chinery of administration.

THE MAYORS APPOINTMENTS.

The appointments of Mayor Evans
last night contained few surprises.
1t was generally supposed that the
head of the police force would be
changed, but it was not expected that
three of the old regulars would be
dropped.
Austin and Schanks, two Of the men
who were not reappointed, have done
good work in the past in ferreting out
petty crimes, and have displayed more
detective ability than any other men on
the force.
Capt. Terry is an old railroad man
and one who has been used to handling
men. Time alone can tell what sort of
chief OF police he will make.
The resignation of Mr.. Sheehan from
Council to accept a position on the
board of public works takes from the
former body valuable member, but his
talents will still be used in the service
of the city. The other two members of
the board are practical men who stand
we'll in their respective professions and
Roanoke should expect some good work
from them.

Good men, honest in their own belief
and tolerant of those of others, can
usually find some ground OF sympathy.
Alexander Somerville, a missionary in
the east, one day at Gibraltar had a
long conversation with Jew on the
subject Of Scriptural traditions. OF
course, neither could comprehend the
others point of view, but that this was
no bar to mutual respect, was proved
by their manner of parting. Says the
missionary:
We were standing in the open street.
My friend was firmly built man, with
broad shoulders, and had bushy brown
whisllers cncircling his honest face. He
was possessed of very long and strong
arms: raising them SO that they almost

me towards him, pressed me to his
breast and kissed me on both checks
