HOUSES FOR HOMES.

The Painting should be In Harmony with

In frame houses there is, unluckily,
an almost infinite variety of colored

for miles beside our railroads, one
could almost wish that paints had new

and contractors and the buyers of their

ried patches of hideous coloring that
rush past our aching eyes? Red, blue,
green, yellow, and sometimes all four,
or even more, on one luckless house!
But the fault is not altogether in the
colors. A red house may be even beau
tiful il the tint be dark and soft, like
that of the sumac berries, and half
hidden in masses of green. But it is

much-derided white house with green
blinds seems now to be regaining
favor, and it has at least the advant-
age OF making no pretensions to aught
but neatness, cheer and comfort. With
plenty of green about it, it also is even
beautiful. Besides the white, and the
deep soft red in suitable situations,
there is a good combination of cream

Suddenly she wearied of the endless

il was merely a fad and would soon

astounding part of il.
Her first novel attracted more than
passing notice. She was commended
for her original and audacious style,
her clever plot and certain dainty
feminine touch. She was written
about. interviewed, her beauty and
talent were praised by the paragraph

life were brandished about the coun-
try. From being merely typical So
ciety girl, young woman of elegance
and fashion, she suddenly became a
some body to be pointed out and stared
at and raved about.
This spasmodic adulation pleased
Violet. She had always Toasted upon

threw herself into life of feverish
emotion, became cynical, disdainful,

He had never been east of the Missis-

Steam Still Up at Columbia, s. C.-Ex-Sena- tor Butler Makes Few Remarks
 About Ben TiIIman.

Columbia, s. C., Sept. 1S.--There was another incipient sensation on the floor of the constitutional convention today, despite the fact that the session was about as short as that of the previous day The matter had it's origin in the sensational session on Monday and th's time the States editorial expression of opinion, as we'll as the first vote taken on the Butler county matter, is the casus belli if it may be so termed. MT A. II. Patterson of Barnwell. after requesting that one of the vice presidents take the chair, brought up a resolution denOunc- ing the editorial and asking for it's inn mediate consideration. Ten members, headed by Senator Irby, objected to the immediate consideration of the resolu- tion and it was the special order for to- morrow mornings session.
 When MT. Patterson brought up his resolution icc-President Talbert was called to the chair. The editorial de- clared that the figures of the tellers W re fasified by the president in stating them to the convention. making them tie vote instead of permitting rec ss. The resolution declares that this statement was not borne out by the "revote" taken and had no foundation and further that the statement was a malicious false hood The consideration of the matter tomorrow will doubtless cause lively debate.
 Senator M. c. Butler arrived in the city today When asked if he had any thing to say about Senator Tilman's at tack upon him in the convention he aid: " No, sir; I believe not.

The reception was given by Miss Mamie Pearson, the beautiful and pop ular daughter of the colonel, in honor of her visiting friends and erstwhile school mates, the Misses Wright of Philade.- phia, and to it almost every person prom inent in the society of the city was in vited, and, of course, attended

 son. the Misses Wright and the Misses McMillan, received the guests in the happiest of ways and made them wei come. Refreshments were served a la mode at a convenient hour and a con cordant band discoursed sweet music for those who wished to dance.
 The Misses Wright, in whose honor the reception was given, were friends and schoolmates of Miss Pearson last year at the Van Norman institute in New York, and are her guests at present. Misses Alta and Lillian McMillan of An niston, Miss Augusta Sharpe, Miss Emma Leedy and Miss Margaret Smith of the same college clique, were present at the function. A fuller resume of the affair and list of the names of the guests will appear in the social column of Sunday mornings pa Der.
 Miss Augusta Sharpe returned yester- day from Pulaski, Tenn, to the delight of her friends al home. She has been all. most a year away at school.
 Miss Willie Morrow leaves today for Nashville. where she will enter Belmont College for Young Ladies. Her brother, MT. Hugh Morrow, will accompany her to Nashville.
