I tween the round waist and the Empire

suitable for young women and young

tCoprR1oHr. 1892. BY JAMES W. JOHNSON,

How many a hostess Is seriously
puzzled over the amusement she shall
offer her guests when her invitations say
neither dancing nor cards. Unless the
affair is 20 be a crush reception some
provision for amusement is absolutely
necessary, doubly necessary when people
are bidden to hospitality during the un-
happy process OF paying debts" In the
latter case careful sitting OF elements is
impossible, and the hostess brings TO-
gether an unassorted number of Young
and old, friends and strangers, bores and
bored
To mingle all these people in harmony
there is nothing equsl-in the opinion of
such women as Mrs. Sherwood-to a
jolly game which contains a decided
spice of chance. Most of ths new and
popular games now on the market have
connected with their framework a modi-
led roulette wheel. - s
This wicked little spinner is, however,
SO disguised in its attachment to inno-
cent games like Nellie Bly,, Worlds
Fair, Penny Post, etc., that the hostess
would not dream of calling them gam
bling games"
Silly games most Of them, but they are
intended only to make people throw
away their dignity and enter into the
spirit of the sport. All these games en-

4 PlUTE RAserr.I. HUNT.

Enough Animals Killed for the Whole
Band TO subslst on for Mouth.
For several months past the Piute In
aians in the vicinity have been prepar-
ing for q grand hunt in the valley be-
tween the Toquima and Hot Creek
ranges. The Indians arranged their
plans and began the campaign against
the fieetfooted little animals. The hunt
was organized under the direction of the
old chief of the tribe and he divided the
hunters into about ten bands, who were
TO take their stand along the foothills
cf.the ranges and at preconcerted sig
lial all were to- start for O common CEN
I IT and kill all the rabbits which came in
their way. It was the idea to drive the
rabbits gradually to the center of the
valley and then have grand slaughter
If the whole lot as they would be run
into such a part of the valley,that they
could not get away. = ]
The hunt progressed for seven days
End at the .endsof that time the Indians
had driven great number of rabbits
iato the, center of the valley and began
the killing of them there. During
the drive it is estimated that. they killed
not less than three hundred each. day
end at the grand wind-up they are re-
Ported to have killed four Thousand rab-
bits in one general Slaughter
In addition to the rabbits they also,
drove many other small animals, such
as coyotes. badgers and foxes, into the
center and killed great number of
these. There are about four hundred
flutes in the band and they have killed
enough meat to last the whole band
about month. The Indians will smoke,
the meat and cat it raw during the next
month, when they expect to organize
tnother hunt further up the country.
