IN SOCIAL LIFE

The Mills College girls had another jolly
reunion yesterday in the home of Miss
Celia W. Owen. 1875 South Main street.
Girls? Well, to be sure, they are not all
girls in the strictest age limitation, be-
cause some of them have children IL and
Is years old. but they all felt and acted
like girls again in being together and
talking over the pranks and other good
times which happened, perhaps, twenty
years ago. but which seemed not longer
away than as many months. The meet
ing was very informal but more encour-
aging in point of numbers than the one
last week, when the heavens were opened
in a persistent downpour. 1t was decided
that there should be club, that its name
should be the Mills College Club, and that
the meetings should be held, one each
month, in the homes of the various men,
bers. Mrs. Lizzie I. Miller was made
secretary pro tenn, and instructed to
send to the San Frarcisco club for
their recently revised constitution
and bylaws. a committee of three was
appointed, consisting OF Mines. l.. L.
Miller, r. P. Mclean and c. ". Owen. to
look over this constitution and bylaws
with a view to amending any section or
clause to better fit the needs OF the local
club, and have it ready for adoption at
the next meeting.
The question was discussed as to the
best policy to be pursued by the club
here, whether it should be entirely social
or literary, or both, but no definite de-
cision was reached. except on one point
upon which the members present were
unanimous-that, if it were literary, the
two subjects, Napoleon and Trilby, should
be tabooed. There being no other busi-
ness. the girls entered upon informal
chatting, which was agreeably interrupt
ed with dainty light refreshments.
Those present were Mines. \. X. Wach-

strewn over the table. Long vines of
wisteria fell over the front and sides of
the buffet. held at the top by Il lavender
satin ribbon, tied in large true-lover's
knot. The place cards OF round,

water colors with pansies, violets
and sweet peas. and on the inner

Tho Armenian ou.rascs.

The inside history OF tho Armenian
outrages, which Ia furnished as tho re.
sult OF an independent Investigation
made by tho Associated Pross, throws
much new light on tho causes that led
to the massacre. 1t appears that tho
Armenisns themselves have no. been
much behind thoir Turkish prosecutors
in the commission OF barbarous acts,
but that they have been aggravated be-
yond measure there IA little doubt.
The correspondent draws vivid pic
ture OF the remarkable state OF society
which is responsible for the horrors,
and discusses the situation from an un.
biased standpoint. The Armenian ques.
ton in Armenia, he says, and the Ar.
menian question in England and Amer
lea are two different things. In Eng
land aud America it is moitly matter
Of religion and humanity; In Armenia
it is almost wholly matter OF politics,
with incidental religion. Before there
can come an end to the question, the
practical Christian Of America and Eng-
land must reconcile these two conflict
ing conditions, and administer justice
upon them with a firm hand.
This is certainly fair statement, but
a settlement on these lines mus, be de-
! layed so long as the question is handi.
capped by the conduc. OF the Armen.
ians in RETAINING from telling the whole
OF their side OF the case. Unfortunately
for all concerned, says the correspond
ent. they tell only small part OF what
they know and leave their Christian
sympathisess to dig the rest out OF tho
snow OF the Sassounz mountains. This
blindness OF the Armeniaus to tho value
OF an impartial inquiry renders it i'm.
possible to secure satisfactory invests
CATION.
However, even il tho prosecuted PEG.
pie were willing 70 tell the whole truth,
1t is doubtful ii satisfactory investiHa-
tion would ever take place. The As,o-
ciated Press sponicnt looks upon
the Turkish commission as fraud, and
says i. is waste OF breath to talk about
it. Those who understand the Turkish
character agree with thi. view. The re-.
port OF tho commission will undoubt-
eddy be whitewash, so lar as the Turk
! ish government is concerned. and tho
outrages committed by tho Armenians
Themselves will be brought out in bold
relief. The Christian world will be
treated to one-sided presentation OF
the case, in which the Turk will show
up us paragon OF humanity beside the
Armenian, who will be held as tho
agcressor.

4 Peculiar Campaign.

This state is being flooded with thous.
ands OF copies OF tho New York Voice,

party. containing n scurrlous article
concerning Hon. S. D. Elkins. There ia
nothing new in tho article. II is sim.
ply rehash OF campaign chcstuuts ex.
plodcd years ago. The best evidence OF
their harmicssness ia tho fact that Mr.

beat men OF the nation, OF all parties,
but has :ho cstcom and confidence OF
the Republican party OF tho country in
general and OF this state in particular.
