NEW CITY DIRECTORY.
To Business Men and Citizens of
San Antonio.

1t is with regret that we are compelled
to infict upon the readers of the papers
of this city reply TO the article assailing
our firm in this mornings Express. We
deem it unnecessary to go into a detailed
statement of affairs regarding our direc-
tory publications. We will spare the
readers of this paper that at1liction, know
ing their adherence to such contro-
verSieS. Suffice IL to say, Morrison e.
Fourmy'S patrons understand full well
the why's and whereforeS from private
circular addressed to each and every one
OF them The causes leading 10 the post
pOnement of their work, which in brief
was as follows: At the personal request
of some of our best friends, patrons and
citizens of San Antonio, and who were
alsos friends OF the opposite parties as
well, for we held duplicate orders from
the same firms almost in toto, we consent
ed to withdraw for the time belt g and
give to the home people knowing full
well they could not fulfill their agree
mentS) an opportunity to show what they
knew about the directory business and
what they could really accomplish. The
result to all their subscribers is too we'll
known to comment further Their
claims OF publishing work superior to
ours proved false in every particular.
Morrison & Fourmy's patrons know too
we'll their business character after the
past sixteen years dealings with them in
the most honorable transactions. They
always came and departed with the
friendship of their patrons, always being
| welcomed on their return, and on no &C.
caSion have they ever been guilty Of
| wronging one OF them of single dollar,
our relations having always been of the
most pleasant character.
We returned to the city and Immediate
lv engaged upon our work, feeling that
San Antonio was at last to have the much
| needed accurate directory, which she had
so long been deprived of, and with an as
suraDce of a speedy completion of the new
| system of numbering, there would be no
| city in the state could boast of finer
work. We find ourselves now confronted
with the same obstacles, and from those
we have every reason to believe are even
| less experienced than the former parties
| If it were possible.
We will add in conclusion we are here
| for the purpose of issuing directory of
| San Antonio whenever the numbering is
completed, so that we will be enabled to
| give you an accurate one, and will insure
the citizens Of San Antonio a work even
| superior to the works we have hitherto
issued to the satisfaction of everyone.
now that we have more material and
better facilities TO work with, Respect

Duties of the Maid of HONOR.

She is going to be maid of honor at
the Easter wedding of her dear
friends, and she wants to know what
her duties are. Well, they are not
very onerous. She walks alone, just
ahead of the bride, in entering the
church, or wherever the ceremony is
to be performed. Her dress must be
little more elaborate than that of
the bridesmaids, but not, of course,
as rich as the brides, says Ruth
Ashmore in her aside Talks with
Girls" in the April Ladies' Home
Journal. When the altar Is reached
she stands just beside the bride,
holding her bouquet. AT the mo-
ment when the ring is to be assumed
she hands the bouquet to the first
bridesmaid, and assists the bride in
taking off her glove. All this time
the bride has been standing with her
veil over her face, but just after the
service is over, when the bride rises
after having been blessed, the maid
of honor throws back the filmy cloud
and the bride stands facing the BRIDE
groom and ready for his kiss. The
bouquet is then handed back to the
maid of honor, by her given to the
procession retreats she walks just
behind the bride, and groom, leaning
on the arm of the best man..

Dainty Faster Cards.

In painting lilies in water colors on
paper or any white fabric, leave the
high lights untouched, and aim for
great transparency and purity OF tint.
The colors to be used correspond al.
most exactly to those suggested for
the oils, except that the white pig
ment is omitted from the mixtures,
advises Maude Haywood In the

in q very decorative manner by en-
ploying the metallic gold sold for use
with water colors. The design is
first sketched in pencil and tinted
delicateIy in washes. The outline
and markings of the whole, includ-
ing the stomens of the flowers and
the veining of the leaves, are then
put in with gold, with which also
some appropriate inscription or
greeting may be written. The rough

A Chicago Society Girl.

The part the young girl plays in
Chicago society is very important; in
comparison with that taken by the
young matrons and the older mar
ried people, almost too much so,
writes Mrs. Reginald de Koven In q
most interesting article on "Social
Life in Chicago" in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t has been stated
that society exists onl y as a matrimon-
ial bureau, organized and conducted
solely for the benefit of the de butante
who lives brief butterfly existence
in q shower of compliments and flow
ers before she marries and retires
from view. This is an overstatement,
but not so egregious one as might
be wished. Older people, with, of
course, some notable exceptions, do
not consider society to hold any obi
cations. for them. There are
very few houses where dinners
are given with any reference
to the bringing together of the
men and women who, in the prime OF
their lives. are influencing and deter
mining the life OF the city. Young
and old people, also, are very rarely
asked together, which is loss to
both-tO the young of the desirable
con tact with minds to force, maturity
and experience; to the old of the
joyful, refreshing influence of
youth. Hence it happens that
the men see each ether at
the clubs, the women at their
luncheon parties and literary socie.
ties, and a really regretable separa.
ton OF occupation and thought estab-
fishes itself. Every possible protec-
ton Is given to the detutante in her
entrance into the world, but here, as
elsewhere in America, she is permit
ted to follow her own inclinations in
the question of marriage.
