Christmas Table Decorations.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
In planning for Christmas festivities the
question of table decorations is of real i'm
portance: therefore. suggestions for a unique
and artistically arranged dinner table may
be of service. The covers may be laid for
as many as may be desired. In the center
have square bed OF holly, from the middle
Of which there may rise a small Christmas
tree suitably decorated. At either end of
the table stand the candelabra, which for
this occasion should have red candles and
red shades. At each lady's place have a
corsage bouquet OF bright red flowers tied
with red ribbon, and for the gentlemen
boutonnieres of mistletoe. Have suspended
over the table a little above the tree a large
bell OF red flowers, from the top of which.
reaching to each plate, may hang red rib
bons about an inch WIDE held in place by
the weight of the dinner card, which should
be perforated near the top, allowing the end
OF the ribbon TO pass through and tie in a
bow. On the upper side OF the card should
be written the guests name.

Wallace received his artistic education in
Europe, and during the past few years has
Travelled and practiced his art in various

Though young man, as an artist he ranks

Mr.. L. s. ]. Dunbar's work is so well
known that a description of 1t is hardly
necessary, although recital of his present
engagements may be interesting. A life
sized bust of Martin Van Buren, speaks
most eloquently of the artists ability. The
bust is to be cut in marble and promises to
be one of the sculptors most successful eff

The Minstrel Performance.

The account of the Brabson Brass
Band Minstrel performance was mad
vertently omitted last week, but the
performance was SO pleasing and of
such high character that we are COM
PEELED to praise it even at this late day.
The handsome John Q. Williams as
interlocutor, statue and all round song
and dance artist made such q hit that
he is seriously contemplating a grand
Southern tour, with Prof. Gainey a
close second favorite as end tambour-
inc and old darkey parts. He overdid
the feeble" act in his song, "Chloe,"
but set himself even and laurels to
spare as Mr.. Skinner in the last act.
Fred Russell makes a capital end man,
and as a exponent of the Black Art
he is not exactly ''out of sight" but
hard to see. Prof. Rhodes, Will Ro-
senblatt and Mr.. Dolby with mandolin
and guitars rendered a pretty selec-
ton and responded gracefully to a well
mcrited nco Rev. A. C. Kilheffer
rendered a solo in a strong and melo-
dious voice. Prof. Dolby's song would
have done credit to any minstrel troupe
now on the road and was highly en-.
joyed. The most of his movements
were not new, but they were all grace
full and done with the ease of an old
timer. Taken all in all it was far
above the average in amateur circles,
every part being perfectly proper and
refined, and the large number of ladies
present enjoyed it thoroughly with the
rest of the audience. The first night
took SO we'll that a repetition was re-
quested, and the boys played the sec
ond night to a srill better house. The
performance will be repeated at Jones.
boro next Friday night, and quite a
party will go from here with the Band
bOys,-East Tennessee News.
