In the following the R'v. I De.

why so many newspaper men are

Of the newspaper profession is that
its members are compelled to see

every newspaper office passes day
after day all the wiokedness Of the

vaniiies that want to be repaid, and
all the mistakes that want to be cor,

1t lsa pity that man of Senator

Famous Southern Woman.
The New Orleans Picayune says


There has been an idea not yet obsolete that
woman who has social position, friends and
happy home relations is satisfied to let the
world move as it will. and not trouble herself
concerning things outside of her own charmed
circle. Mrs. Caroline Z. Merrick's life has
been direct refutation of this charge. She
has an original mind, and refusing to accept
other peoples belief Of things has dared to
have the courage Of her convictions. She has
been an object lesson to her sex, and has helped
teach it that woman may be graceful,
charming, well dressed, well bred and adored
by her husband and still be directly and in
tensely interested in the well being of human
ity. She is brilliant writer as we'll as sue
cessful speaker, and has not only employed her
pen in writing serious things, but has published
many excellent stories and character sketches.
Mrs. Merrick is president of the Lou
isiana Woman Suffrage association, was
for years president of the Louisiana w.
G. L. u, which she organized, and is
now its honorary president. She is chief
officer of the Woman's League of New
Orleans and vice president of the Portia
club of that city. A recent number of
Fetter's Southern Magazine contains
portrait and sketch of her, closing with
this graceful tribute: There is not
woman in the south today who is more
admired, honored and loved by her fell
low women than Caroline E. Merrick."

A Tennis Dinner.

A London print tells of tennis din
ner' given by the wife of an English
official at Shanghai in payment Of
wager lost at lawn tennis. The table
was arranged as a miniature tennis
court, the lines being indicated by red
ribbons pinned ON the cloth. Across
the center of the table was stretched
net of white silk, fastened to two posts
of polished walnut wood, supported by
white silk cords. The flag of the court
in which the eventful game had been
played waved from one post, and red
,lk bag containing miniature tennis
balls lay near the net.
A lilliputlan umpire's stand showed
at one side of the table, opposite an
equally diminutive blackboard. the lat
ter bearing the number and appropria-
tlons of the various courts written in
chalk. A narrow ribbon suspended from
four little posts inclosed the whole in a
manner similar to which match courts
are roped off. The menu cards were or
namented with tennis designs, while the
guests cards all bore appropriate ten
mis- expressions. One champion players
card bore the words, Love all, van
tage all. y The lucky winner of the
wager was distinguished by Game and
set, and the card of a celebrated legal
luminary was inscribed with Wrong
court. The dinner was voted great
success by all who assisted.

as finished with frill OF the same. Be-
sides this costume is seen house dress
whose bodice has very wide revers, quite
o popular cut at present. Heavy blush
green diagonal is used for 1t, garnished
with bright red plaid silk. The cir
culsr skirt is plain and the tight fitting
bodice has jacket revers which form
deep points on the shoulders and are
alike back and front.
House gowns are made in much sim.
plicity to define them from the butterfly
beauty OF dance dresses. Bark wool
hanging softly from wide belt generous
in girth, big sleeves of rich and bright
or shade OF velvet, deep revers of dainty
lace hanging we'll out on the sleeves and
defining the necks cut out prettily, is al
most an ideal gown for young hostess
upon whom her matronly hon
ors still set newly. Skirts are
almost made with yoke at
the hips. From this the rest OF the
skirt hangs full. The yoke sete over the
under part and is sometimes of con-
trasting color and material. A striking
dance gown has yoke at the hips of
deep cherry velvet; from 1t faint
cherry gauze skirt hangs over an under
skirt OF cherry silk. The bodice is on
HANGED with stole-like drspery of the
velvet, the rest being eauze over silk.
There Heems still to be
frenzy for cutting up valuable ma
terial, and insertions ara put in
as recklessly as before. This
seems downright wickedness when the
material il ali new, but is salvation to
the woman who has to accomplish
gown out OF tag ends lett over from old
dressee. II skirt be not Iona enough,
add rows OF insertion until it lie /; if it he
not wide enough, put in lengthwise
panels of insertion, and If it be too mar
row and too short all a. once, then let
the insertion run both ways, and it is
all the better.
