TEA TABLE GOSSIP.

Ou n'S S"A "hNS'
bushel here said a traveller to a
party of gentlemen at the Pacific.
81 have been to all the famous hot
springs in the country aud have
taken the hydropa.hic treatment
everywhere, but your natatoriums
beat them all. The have not the
unpleasant and repulsive features Of
Hot Springs and other places and l
believe the curative properties of
the water, both for drinking and
bathing, is decidedly superior.
And Their, again, you don't rob
people here. But the outside world
knows almost nothing of Your great
healing fountains and there is only
one way to let it know, and that is
judicious advertising"
"Col." Bryan, who assigns those
way farers to pleasant quarters who
arrive at the Pacific during the
night, bears a striking resemblance
in many respects to the late Henry
Grady, who contrived TO let the
world know that there was such
city as Atlanta. Bryan has no
doubt been abashe1 at the ste ady
gaze Of Georgians when attaching
their signatures to his book ald he
now understa1 ds the reason why.
The "kunnel" is modest and
rather good looking, but never con-
sidered himself q beauty, hence his
perturbation.
Waco is to be congratulated on
the proficiency and high standing of
her artists and the conscientious,
painstaking pupils who have re
tlecte1 so much credit on their
teachers. There are many pictures
the work Of Waco young ladies',
which deserve batter fate than TO
be hung in obscure places. A
home in the southwestern part of
the city is adorned by the artistic
brush of a young lady whose
productions would command at
tention aud commentator in any
art center. Among her pictures in
oil is copy Ct the famous Charlotte
Corday, in the Corcoran Art Gal
lery at Washington, which is a re-
markedly faithful reproduction Of
the original. The air of pensive
sadness and sublime resi- snation to
cruel fate, which is so expressive on
the original canvass, is conscien.
tiously and sympathetic Ally trans
ferred to the young lady's picture.
There is quaint, sweet picture of
Anne Page" standing at low
wall in garden, and the express
sion of arch mischief and impatient
expectation on the gay LADY, face
is simply bewitchipg. A fancy
head, ideal in design, shows sweet
sensitive face, the thin quivering
lips, slightly parted, betraying re-
fined sensibility and shy seserve.
1t is the dreamy face of beautiful
maiden on the Threshold of WON
anhood, gazing wistful!y into the
future. The colorins and delicate
finish Of this picture are admirable.
There is a "Julie,te" which is re-.
markable for graceful pose and
skilful draping, as well as the deli
cate, warm flesh tints.
BY his invitation to the Texas
Press association ia visit Waco "a
his guests C)l. Parrot, Of the
Natatorio Sanitarium, has shown
that he has large preponderance OF
gray matter in his head and that its
convolutions are deep. The editors,
like most other people, are grateful
for such marks Of attention and
hospitality and they have way of
letting the multitude know of such
gratitude that, as in the present
instance, cannot but rebound to the
benefit of the splendid institution
over which the generous colonel
presides. The people of Waco
should assist in making the mem
bers of the association have a Cos Il
time. Come on, you moulders,
Waco can ba.he and feed YOU and
put you all into feather beds three
feet deep. After a long diet OF
corn bread, bacon belly and Eaters
our city 'vittles" will put half an
inch of lean on your ribs. And
don't forget to bring the In lies.
