society sees much to initiate, as well as
much to avoid, in the INFINITE variety of
table decoration 1t is only small ta-
Bile, Of course, that is prepared on these
semi-formal occasions, but it is daintily
arranged to tempt the caller who drops
| in between four and seven in response
to her card of invitation; but each hos
tess strives for originality or, despair
ing Of that, aims at decided and formal
conventionality. In the latter case a
caterer generally has charge of every
thing; and in the place of embroidery,
lace, and linen, the centre and corners
of the table are occupied by large sal
vers of silver and plaques of looking
glass. Where the arrangements, on the
contrary, are all an effort of the mis-
tress' own taste, there is sometimes less
splendor, but always more originality.
AT the setting of one table Of the latter
class, green and white are adhered to
with very pleasing effect. The table
was oblong, with square corners, and
covered with Nile-green surah satin,
pushed into regular burrows or pillows.
Over the satin fresh fern leaves We're
laid down at random. The edge of the
Nile-green cover was decorated with
Breton lace, which lay on the polished
table without falling over the edge.
The centre-piece was a square of bolt
ing-cloth with painted border of white
jonquils cut out on the edge, and con-
nected by awaved line of gale green rib
bon, also painted on the cloth. A cut
glass bowl resting on the centre of the
boiling cloth square held, am sorry to
say, environed by beautiful ferns,
bunch of green carnations, whose
strange artificiality was almost an an
tithesis to the fresh spring-like beauty
of the table. The coloring was repre-
sented in nearly all the more substan-
tial parts of the table setting The
china plates in convenient piles were
white with narrow green edge The
sandwiches were made of thin bread
and butter, rolled into tender tubes,
with celery leaf projecting from each
end, thereby giving color and indexing
the filling, which was a mayonnaise of
finely chopped celery. The small fancy
cakes to eat with the tea were frosted
with green The bonbons were all green
and white; and the punch was obscur-
ed, except as seen through the sides of
the huge cut-glass bowl, by its floating
freight of white rose petals and fresh
sorrel leaves. In the open fields of this
frigid cline one does not find the ten
der trefoil of sorrel in March, but even
the weeds that properly belong to
spring are given to us for consldera-
ton BY the fin de steele florists.

When "a woman wants it understood
that she is a lady she sometimes takes
rather violent measures to make it un-
derstood. Mr.. J. c, Weese, a Pennsyl-
vania man, has had 1t very thoroughly
explained to him that the women Of
Virginia. are ladies. He was visiting
Alexandria, and he allowed himself to
publicly make some remarks derogatory
to the character of Virginia women.
Harry Hines, of Alexandria, thereupon
thrashed Mr.. Weese vigorously. Mr.
Weese caused Mr.. Hines to be arrested
on the charge of assault. Mr.. Hines
was tried and acquitted. So far all was
well, but certain ladies of Alexandria
felt that not enough had yet been done
to fully vindicate the good name Of the
ladies of Virginia. So when the asper-
sor left the court room che had to pass
through a double line of ladies, all arm
ed with rawhides, who beat him so un-
mercifully that the aid Of physician
had to be called in"
Of course nobody but Mr.. Weese would
have needed this explanation. He need
ed it and got 1T. He now knows that
he was mistaken when he intimated
that all the women of Virginia were not.
ladies' RaIwhides, welded by real la
dies, are very effective correcters Of
opinion.

The Salvation Army has undoubtedly
done a good work among the poor and
the lowly. It has made much noise, and
its methods have shocked those who like
to see religion quietly and smoothly
pushed But it has saved" many who
were greatly in need of salvation, and 1t
has been tolerated by some refined re-
ljgionists on account Of the good it has
done. Now Commander Darlington
Booth announces that his army, encour-
aged by its success in fighting the slum
devil, is about to attack the fashionable
andpious devil. He believes that the rich
have souls to be saved, as we'll as the
very poor; that the population of the in
fernal regions is recruited from the
cushioned pews OF the fashionable
churches, as we'll as from the dens and
dance houses of the slums, and that
"the better classes" would be as happy
in Heaven as anybody. And If he Is
correctly reported he has asked very
interesting question, as follows: What
Paul could any police inspector, fire
commissioner, judge, lawyer, statesman
or preacher become if he would only ac-
cept Jesus Christ as his Saviour, and
battle in the heavenly light" Is it pos
sible that Brother Booth thinks preach
ers are in need of conversion?
Success to the new plan of the Saliva
ton Army. There is room for all in
Heaven, and the Society Of the glorious
place is good enough for anybody, even
the most rich and Fashionable Of earth.

A GENEhO w CHINESE 6ENEh4
There are some things about the Chi
nese way of carrying on war that are
funny enough to make even a member
of the Universal Peace society laugh
! For instance, when the Japanese forces
were advancing upon shan-hai-kuan
the Chinese General WI Ia Cheng
thought he would reason with them.
SO he took his pen in hand and wrote
proclamation in which he presented
some arguments for the consideration of
the Japanese forces. He informed them
that after having perfected fifty battal-
for the last three months, and given
| his men thorough drills and armed
them with magazine rifles, he was now
ready to proceed forth on his way to
meet the enemy, and that it was GER
| tain that within two months decisive
battles would be fought. But how, he
asked, "can you Japanese, exhausted by
disease and cold, stand up against my
fresh troops? You Japanese have young
wives and children at home who are
weeping and longing for your safe re-
turn; you are but the tools of Otori
you have been forced by CONSUMPTION to
make your bodies receptacles of our
bullets. When you are victorious your
generals get all the praise and honor;
If you get defeated they escape while
you common soldiers suffer" This was
an ingenious and skillful layout of the
situation and was we'll calculated to
make the Japanese soldiers pause and
reflect. However, in case it didn't have
that effect upon them, and in case they
were determined to rush on to certain
defeat General WI Ia Cheng was will
ing to give them chance to save their
lives. He thus revealed his generosity
of his great nature: I am, however, al
so of a charitable state of mind, and l
cannot bear to see you going to de-
struction before my fresh bat
talions, in this severe cold, through no
fault Of your own. HENCE, I hereby give
you Japanese soldiers notice, if you
should be defeated and have no place to
run away to, wherever you should see
my signal-boards bearing the words
Surrender and avoid DEATH" you may
at once present yourselves to the Off
GERS in charge, who are also delegated
to the duty ON account of their reputa-
ton for charity and justice You must
then throw down your arms and pros
trate yourselves before the signal. You
will then be received into our encamp-
ments and given two meals day and
exactly the same treatment as our own
people. You will not be put to hard la
Dor, and when peace is restored, you will |
be sent back in steamers to your homes |
to meet your wives and sons once more,

Signs ofPeace in Asia.
From Harper's WeeklY.l


To judge by the belief of the best-in-
formed persons, Japan is likely to prove
both revengeful and greedy when she
declares the terms upon which she will
cease hostilities against China. 1t is
said that she meant at the outset to de-
mand Korea as part of her price for
peace, but that Russia has declared that
Korea shall be independent as the out
come of this war. Russia may, later on,
remind Korea that she is independent
because of Russia's interference, and
that an Acceptable return for this friend
ship would be the cession of the port of
Chemulpo, and a strip of land to the
northward of 1t for route for the Rus
sian transcontinentl railway, which is
now planned to terminate at Vladivos-
tok,a port that is froze UP during half Of
each year. Therefore it is said that ia
pan will command the independence Of
Korea and the cession of the powerful
fortified harbor and settlement Of Port
Arthur-so that Japan may command
Korea on both sides and insure her inde-
pendence. In view Of Russia's objection
to her annexation to Korea Japan will
demand the gift of the great rich and
lovely island OF Formosa, which she
covets for it's value, and because it is
naturally a part of the chain of islands
that composes Japan. She will demand
the opening of several more Chinese
ports to the commerce of the world, in
order to establish her merchants in

Hats and the Hair Under Them.


Hats these days are enough to make
women wonder how they ever could
have worn great wide brimmed things,
pushed off the face to show a tangled
clump Of bang. 1t almost seems as if 1t
never could have been done, and at any
rate it isn't now. All hats are either
decorously straight on the head, or else

intent to expose a glossy CLEAN of locks
and an ivory CLINT Of part is manifest.

full and the one of this picture is rather

hats are shown
Since women have striven in all ways
to emphasize the breadth Of the head
and its level top it is odd that the fash
ion of doing the hair popular some years
ago and known as the Dutch coil is only
just being reintroduced. In this the
hair Is divided into two streams that
cross each other at the back of the
head, each strand coiling in a soft loop
that touches the back of the ear and
hes narrowly between the nape of the
neck and the horizontal line that might
be drawn at the back of the head from
ear tip to ear tip. This headdress is be-
coming to many women and adapts it
self much more tremendously to the pre-
vailing bonnet than does the teapot

slants suddenly at the back of the
crown will find that this way OF doing
the hair allows her to conceal the de-
feet, and the top of her coil will sup
