Susan Hayes Ward.

That genial woman and brilliant author
and editor, Miss Susan Hayes Ward, pre-
fers the wane of the day for her literary
work. From 8 to IL her muse is apt to be
klndest "I never feel, she Is quoted as
saying, "as though things had really be-
gun until the lights are well going and
dinner Is over. Then inspiration comes to
me, II ever, and / can accomplish far more
work and Of far better quality than ! can

this point the women leave the table, coE-
fee and a cordial being served to them in
the drawing room, while the men remain
at table for coffee, liquors and cigars.
The other dinner which is the direct op-
posite Of this formal spread, never consists
Of more than three or four courses and
can be characterized as q family repast.
In either case the experienced hostess will
be careful to see that her guests are
seated so that those Of opposing tastes
and opinions will not clash at the very
beginning of the meal. The host al.
ways leads the way to the dining room
with the woman who is the guest of hon
or. The other diners follow her, and the
hostess brings up the rear with the man
whom she regards as deserving OF this
compliment. No matter what fluctuating
fancies may dictate, pure white table linen
is, after all, the perfection Of good taste,
and at all correct dinners the only color
seen is in the Centerpiece, which may be
as literally embroidered or decked out with
flowers and ribbons as any other piece OF
fancy work not used on the table. The
napkins, as a rule, are marked with an
embroidered letter or a script monogram
Simplicity In floral decoration at din
ners adds much to the enjoyment Of the
guests and the looks Of the table. Heavy
scented blooms should be avoided and
masses Of color preferred to those mixtures
which are SO suggestive Of rustic bouquet,
Sometimes candelabra are used, but since
the banquet lamp and the smaller ones OF
the same order have been introduced these
are generally employed, the silken shades
matching in color the flowers you wish to
decorate with. Favors Of all kinds are
eschewed by the social elect. Flowers are
sometimes laid by each plate, but this Gus
tom Is not generally followed In the mat
ter of china the hostess may exercise her
own fancy, but whatever sort of china or
glassware is used it must be above re-
proach in the matter Of cleanliness, and
the silver should shine as though 1t had
just left the jewelers. case.
1t Is not wise plan to try to be unique
in the matter Of dinner giving save so far
as the decorations 60, for there are certain
conventional lines which must be followed
in order to bring such function to sue
Cessful termination. With a ccngenial
party, good cook and these rules which
have been given above, any woman can
be sure of giving dinner which will win
appreciation for herself in the social world.

where the voices Of the children make
music and are not snubbed or silenced,
and where tears are not scOlded, but soon
wiped away; where pain and sickness
awaken a thousand tender attentions and
sorrow draws out hearts and softens them
even more than joy, there Is a sound Of
cheerful talk-friends gather where they
are welcome-there is music, there is reCi-

not wonder If the children sang hymns on
Sunday, but there is one sound which Is

Women ns DramAtlsts.

In the last century all literary young
ladies tried their prentice hands at trag-
edy. One of these ambitious aspirants
brought her production to DR. johnson
and begged him to look over it,
He gruffly told her that she could find
out the mistakes as we'll as he could.
"But, sir" she said, II have no time. !
have so many irons in the fire."
"Then, madam" growled the doctor,
"the best thing I can advise you to do is
to put your tragedy in along with your
irons"
Before. Johnson's day, however, one
woman had made very high reputation
as a dramatist, though her line was COM
edy, not tragedy. Susanna Centlivre wrote
no fewer than 18 plays, three Of which,
1.-THE Wonder, ""The Busybody" and "a
Bold Stroke For Wife," kept the stage
for hundred years and are even now re-
membered as remarkable performances for
q woman of that day. Congreve gave up
writing plays in a fit Of pique because his
"Way Of the World" was totally neglected,
while Mrs. Centlivre's wonder" attract
ed crowded houses the Year Round.

Wants Information.

Why not sell our sewer bonds
and do our sewer improvements
during the winter season? as some
of our most prominent citiz ans in
the Third ward think it is detri
mental to health to do the work
during the summer months, and as
the third ward has virtually no
sanitary sewerage at all. Being in
the lowest section of the town, we
are in great need of such improve
ments for safety to the health of
the ward.
The condition of some places in
the ward is anything but healthy.
This is not intended for a thrust at
any official. Petitions have been
in for something like year, and
right of-wsy has been obtained for
similar length of time.
Citizens of the Third ward, let
US look to our interests in this
