jolly music and dancing aud lights and Jokes
of a comic opera and RECALLING ones self with
book of jokes instead. No words nor descrip.
tons nor pictures can be the same as Melba's
sweet notes in Marguerte's songs. Lohsngrin
without his songs and choruses, soldiers aud
the swan boat, would be but poor stuff, and Ada
Rehan can make Katherine the shrew infinitely
more fascinating with her smiles and pouts and
poses than it is in the written words. What
most folk want is both books and plays. Doubt
less if we had to give up one of them we would
all keep books. but as long as it is possible to
have both we want them. They do not inter-
fere with each other. but are rather compile
mentary, though the joy Of each is different in
kind. 1t is like offering man cake when he
wants pie. They are both sweets and both
desserts, it is true, and the cake may be equally
as we'll prepared as the pie and easier to get :;
but if he want pies there is no use in saying
that cake will do exactly as well, because it
won't.

William Dean Howells in a recent article
ventures a suggestion for entertaining. His
remarks are apropOs of the high prices so often
charged for good theatrical performances. He
says it is ridiculOusly extrsvagant to 90 to
theaters. and that instead Of buying seats TO the
opera or play it would be just as pleasant, and
probably more beneficial, to read a good ro-
nance at home-modesty forbids his suggest
ing any special books. He says a young man
might ask girl and q chaperon to read book
with him some evening Ho would come attired
IN evening dress. and the girl and chaperon
would array themselves festively. They would
read the nice book, and then as a finishing deli-
cacy the youth could present the maid and
chaperon with copy of the volume. Or, in
stead Of theater parties, hostess could invite
several of her friends to spend the evening read
ing with her, and she could present each guest
with copy Of tho book, all of which would not
compare in cost to theatsr party. with its
necessary carriages and suppers and flowers
by the way, she could have light refreshments
at her reading. Now, there only some half
dozen reasons why Mr.. HOwels's plan is ridicu-
lous-that is, as substitute fer the theaters.
Besides tho facts that very few people read
aloud well-eocutionists falling as mserably
as other folk-and that a romance could not be
half read in one evening-for it takes a long
time to read book aloud, and that one gets
sleepy after an hour or two Of such reading
there is the fact that the two things are so
different that one could not think either one
complete and satisfactory substitute for the
other. Think of staying at home and reading
story instead of seeing Ellen Terry as the

A silken petticoat of striped taffeta is very
effective and not difficult to make. A gored
skirt is trimmed with four ruffles each one
hemmcd and adorned with narrow band of
green ribbon above the hem. The petticOat is
rs green as grass, but it may as easily be- of
demurrer gray or brown, or it may be of bright
red or purple. Any color is permissible nova
days for petticoats. The skirt is not gathered
at the band at all, but silk tapes or ribbons are
put in across the back breadths, and these arc
tied around the waist.
dainty little derbodice-generallyk known
as the fchu b0diCe-is very simply made. The
pattern, with its long tapering ties in front,
may be cut out ali in one piece, or at least in
two with seam in the back, or it may have the
usual shoulder and underarm seams. 1t should
be made Of the sheerest OF lawn, and edged all
around the neck, srmholes and fronts, with a
fine little lace edging. strip Of insertion be
set in above the hem all around. This garment
is best fashioned with the dantiest of stitches
The hens should be rolled aud the lace whipped
on neatly. The seams should all DO felled.

Such gathering had never been seen
at National convention. Floor and gall
leries formed one great mass of solid hu-
manity.
Where the narrow ribbons of aisles had
marked the various divisions of the huge
interior there was gathered hundreds, per-
haps thousands of those who could not
find other accommodations. Every chair
was filled, and some idea of the meaning
of this may be gained by the knowledge
that the Coliseum has seating capacity
of 1900
And in addition to the myriads who
choked and crowded every available space
many more, estimated at 5000 in number,
were gathered about the entrances during
the greater part of the evening, tickets in
hand, fruitlessly clamoring for admission.
Like yesterday this has been day OF re-

markable demonstrations of enthusiasm,
but the pinnacle of emotional expression
was reached in scene wonderful in its
| present attention, remarkable in its spon-
taniety and unprecedented, probably, in
any similar gathering of political party
There has been an outburst of en-
thusiasm stirring to behold when David B.
Hill finished a great rhetorical effort in
antagonism to the platform presented by
the committee on resolutions; the vast
assem- blage had listened to sensational
speech by Senator Tillman replete in i'm
passioned expression and in incrimination
of President Cleveland and had showed
approval and disapproval by cheers and
Kisses.
But when William J. Bryan of Nebraska,
handsome, vigorous and magnetic, and
not unlike Mckinley in voice, infection
and facial expression, concluded the effort
of his life in support of the free-coinage
platform, there occurred one of those
scenes which sends the blood coursine fast
through the veins of even the most passive
spectator and remains fixed in the memory
for lifetime.
Like the terrible premonitory rumb bling
that gives warning of the approach of TO-
900 cattle stampeded, delegates and spec
tators began the ovation to the young
Nebraskan. And then the volume of
sound grew and grew until it could grow
no more, and enthusiasm went mad as
Bryan, in his passage down the aisle
toward the Nebraska seats, was caught in
the whirlwind of frenzied enthusiasm and
lifted high on the shoulders of delegates.
From floor to gallery the waves of ap-
plause swept, and back again from gallery
to floor, and when the shouting, yelling,
cheering masses fell back exhausted, Will
liam J. Bryan had bee n cast into the arena
of Presidential hope as full-hedged can
didate for his party's nomination.
An attempt on the part of Senator Till
man to have the convention condemn
President Cleveland and his administra-
tive policy had been frustrated by many
protests from Senator Jones and Bryan.
who, though admittedly anti-administra-
ton in their views, decried any abuse of
the man who had been twice the choice of
their party.
Senator Tillman, admonished by the
cheering which gave commendation to the
remarks of Jones and Bryan, withdrew his
resolution.

crowd assembled in front of the World
Herald building to read the latest news of
the convention.
Republicans, Populists and sound money
mep joined in the enthusiasm. One gray
haired veteran threw his hat high in the
air, and this was q signal for general
demonstration.
at Lincoln, the home of the Nebraska
candidate, the news was received in a
similar manner. Great crowds blocked
the streets until after midnight in the
hope that a ballot might be taken.
The mention of Mr.. Bryan's name in
the convention was a great surprise to his
friends here
