General Grosvenor and other close

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINING.
There Is a Secret in 1t Which Must BE
Learned.

81 do all know how to do when see
that my table is properly appointed
and my menu correct" l heard a wo-
man say recently. But there was no
one among her listeners who could tell
her how dull her dinners and her even
ings were. No one is happy with a
hostess who conveys an impression of
having done her duty, even all her duty,
to the fullest. One likes it no more in
hospitality than one does in love. A
sense of having done duty dams many
a spring at its source, and nothing re-
freshing to soul or body can ever flow
out afterward.
The woman who apologies for the
little she has must always be a failure
cess is no greater than that Of her sister
who is 50 overwhelmed by her grandeur
as never to be able to equal her condi-
tions. There are hostesses in great
houses who seem to be no more part
of their surroundings than frightened
mice who sit in corners.
The secret, in fact, of success, in en-
tertaining is as subtle and elusive as the
secret of charm. Yet few things in
life, unless it be the way to bring up
children, tempt the world into laying
down so many laws on the subject, or
into framing so many precepts. The
secret, however, must always be elusive,
because it lies in the power of person
ality-the personality of host or hos
tess; and by personality mean the ex-
preston which each individual nature
has consciously or unconsciousIy
framed for itself And in this express
sion lie tact and taste, generous i'm.
pulse, kindly feeling, love of others
subordination of self, readiness to give
and willingness to receive, power OF
adaptability, desire for harmony. And
these tests of success hold good whether
entertaining involves lavish display, in
which the unaccustomed are apt to bt
bewildered, or includes only hospitality
extended to those who would otherwise
be without shelter.-Harper's Bazaar.

INDIANS IMPROVING.
Annual Report of Commissioner Brown
ing-Great Progress Made.

Annual Report or commissioner BrOWn'
ing-Great Progress Made.
D. NJ. Browning, commissioner of
Indian affairs, has made his annual re-
port to the secretary of the interior.
He says that with no outbreak or dis
turbance during the year the progress
of the Indians generally i'm education
and civilization has been uninterrupted
and substantial. The main effort now
is and for many years must be to put
the Indian upon his allotment, get him
to support himself there, protect him
from encroachment and injustice and
educate and train his children in books
and industries. AS first step, SO far
as treaty obligations do not interfere by
requiring the payment of moneys and
issuance of rations or annuities, the
Indians are given to understand that
the government will not feed and cloth
them while they remain in idleness.
Such funds as are available for the pur-
pose are devoted to starting Indians in
homes. If an Indian will go upon an
allotment and work to improve 1t, the
government will assist him in building
a house, getting his farm in operation
and making him a practical farmer.
The commissioner says the government
goes further and pays the Indian for
his work. The regular Indian employees
the government paid last year 100000.
A great diversity of crafts and indus
tries is the outgrowth of advanced
civilization. The reports from Indian
agents, he says, show that Indians in
many different ways are coming to earn
their living. They have supplies for the
government, raise crops to sell, raise
and sell live stock, work in the woods
and on irrigation bitches, and in many
minor ways contribute to their own
subsistence.
The entire Indian service, with few
exceptions, is now under civil service
regulations. Exceptions are made as to
Indians who are employed under non
competitive examinations.
Progress in educating the Indians is
reported very satisfactory, in spite of
many difficulties encountered. The en-
rollment during the year was 23,352, an
| increase Ol DO ONcE Tile plGNlOuS NNoA
The average attendance increased $50
The reduction of the number of con-
tract schools has been made in accord
ance with provisions of the last Indian
appropriation bill, and in 1897 there
will be an expenditure of $257,S28 OF
this account, against $463, sos this year

of the bill now pending in congress tC

who have become citizens. He says thu
correspondence in his office shows tina
the Indians in the west and northwes
who have received allotments are be

Wyo., and says steps have been taken t

ans and local notwithstanding
