The difficulties under which those

who are trying to run reform papers
labor, few realize. For the evils which
they asked to have abolished
have grown up among us in such
aquiet and seemingly natural way that
to the %thoughtless things seem right.
And thus the reform not only conflicts
with established ideas, but with great
financial institutions which alwayscon-
tribute literally TO the press in the way
OF advertising. The paper that advo-
Gates d reform OF any out Of which these
institutions have grown rich, will re-
ceive a wide birth by them, nor does it
end here for every obstlcle that can be
placed in it's track will be so placed.
We wish the patrons and those who
believe in the principles advocated by
the UNION, could fully realize this fact,
for we feel sure they would give it
more liberal support. All such papers
must be supported by the friends OF the
cause, the enemy will not do it. The re
form press OF the country is blazing it's
way through the black forest OF ignor-
ance and prejudice and meets with all
the difficulties common to the pioneer
in every thing. The local papers should
be literally supported by all who know
the need of q better government; here is
the foundation upon which the move
ment in the nation must rest. Do what
you can to support the UNION as ahome
paper, though not as good for general
news perhaps as some foreign paper for
less money. Anew subscriber obtained
by each OF those on our list would put
us in a position to issue a much better
paper.

A plain matter-of-fact business man
Of Chicago has just returned from q
trip through Germany, S~caudinavi,
England and Scotland and ventures the
remark that thepeople ofthose countries
allowed greater personal and public pri
vileges than the citizens OF this boosted
republic.
He says that in those countries they
have kings III name whose powers and
privileges are limited by constitutional
law, while here we have kings-cor-
poration k~ings-whose wealth com
mands unlimited power and whose in
terpreters OF law boldly set aside the
constitution according to the occassio n.
This is a bold statement, one evident

come dinners and luncheons by the score.
Engagements once made and announced,
these functions are as certain 10 follow
as the night must the day. Therefore
the months preceding November. and,
indeed. the early days of that month
itself, may well De said to Toe given over
to Cupid's honor. Some few of our last
seasons weddings were entirely sumptu-
ous. and for a time there was danger
that the infection might spread. and that
cha rning simplicity might disappear from
the land. Bat good sense and good
breeding have triunphcd. as they are
apt to do, and il still remains true that
in the eyes of The really select ovcr-ornate
display is in poor taste. if not actually
vulgar. and the pre-nuptial entertain
nents already given, as well as those
in the near future. will be remembered
for their comparative simplicity before
all else.
The engagemc dinner has become
quite an established function. Upon
the size of the Young couples circle the
number given must depend. as an es-
sential matter. of course; but, whether
there are only the two which represent
the families most concerned. or Il dozen
rendered by Interested friends. the de-
tails aud arrangements are much alike.
Loves knots, Cupid's bows aud similar
enIblems are in great demand. Hearts
and arrows take precedence of all else.
Two which were given last week Were
as nearly perfect as such things can be
and gave uubounded satisfaction 10 the
guests of honor.
The hostess of the former was the
bride elects elder sister. The guests
included the future brides maids and
the ushers, the best man and all those
young people who will make up the
bridal party. besides few additional
sympathizers and the eide n of eac b
family group. The hostess has not her
self been long wife, and the memory
of her own engagement was still fresh
enough to make her eager in her plans and
delightfully."- earnest in her wish 10 make
a success.
The flowers chosen for the table were
roses and forget-me-nots. In the center
was a heartshaped mound entirely COM
posed of la France buds edged with n
fringe of the dainty blue blossoms. At each
cover was placed a bow with its arrow
ready to fly, and beside it stood the menu
card in the form of two hearts joined in a
dart which pierced and held them. The
conception of each was peculiarly happy,
and no doubt n sufficient number of the
arrows lodged safely to satisfy even the
romantic young matron's ambition. Ger
tainly they made most effective decoration.
Each bow was wound with the lovely
pink buds. Each string was in reality q
bit of silver wire which easily kept its
place, and each arrow was genuine dart,
made of silver, to be sure, but set ready
to do execution the instant the string
should be pulled. The cards which stood
beside them were already pierced, and were
supposed to be emblematic of the future
bride and groom. They were extremely
simple, cut from card board and painted
with the forget-me-nots, which, when cut,
made dainty edge. On each one of the

BY a happy agreement made between
hostess and guests all the costumes worn
were of that tender pink shown in the La
France rose. Luckily, all the W omen We're
young or possessed such fresh, weii-cared-for

eacrifice of the individual to the fad which
one 80 often sees. Pink has been the color
par excellence the season through, but in
this case it was supposed to be peculiarly
appropriate and embleinatic of the rosy fu-
ture promised the bride and groom TO be.
As Il safe rule the color is to be rejected
after the sixteenth birthday, but IN this in
stance the guests stood the test remarkably
well. Assuredly, the picture as whole
was a lovely one and the ideal it embodied
poetic in the extreme.
The second dinner differed somewhat
in detail, but in detail only. Given the
happy couple as u nucleus. so to speak, all
else follows in their train and only in
small things can one hope to be original at
a function uf the sort. Even as the mar
rage ceremony is the same for all brides,
so the enga aGcInent dinner savers of monot-
ony, and is only rescued by the fact that
il is new to each in her turn. This cspc-
cial one was declared complete success.

of pure white satin damask. Round Its
edge was arranged real gold culorcd satin

Salt itself was held in high favor by the
ancients. In the pages of Homer it is
spoken of as "divine." and at the banquets
Of the Romans and Greeks it held a place
of honor. Salt cellars were heirlooms in
those days, and they were often made of
silver and gold, very beautifully fashioned
and very exquisite in design

1t is interesting to note that the custom
of serving VINE in different glasses belongs
only to this country. One hundred years
ago each guest at q dinner had but one glass,
