sue him for divorce. She consulted lawyer
Robert Greenthal, and the preliminary ar
rangements for the suit were made. Wnen
her husband heard of this he also consulted
Greenthal, and begged him to pursuade
Gussie to live with him again. When he

Finally, when Marchese grew desperate,
he went back to the lawyer again ana tod
him that IL he obtained his wife's consent

A few days ago Mrs. r. Dorsey Coale
sent out invitations for Christmas tree for
cats at her home. $50 Park avenue.
she determined that the cats of her house
hold and those of her friends should have
unique entertainment for their especial ben

the felines of low degree which roam the
alleys and wall on back fences or nights to
the great disturbance OF those of the HUI
man race who are wooing slumber. Only
cats in the top set were invited.
AS a rule, the cats were escorted to the
house in white bags, with shirred.up
cats. One by one the Queer-looking bun
dies were carried through the doors of Mrs.
Coale's home. Then the cats were let out
After much smoothing down of ruff

their mistresses might indulge in before
appearing in company, the cats commenced
to get acquainted.

oned by Miss Nellie Howlson, Mrs. Dorsey
Coale's sister, who also loves cats. As

ribbons
The visitors wore ribbon bows to set off
their glossy fun coats. They included Mrs.

Go not turn up their noses at mice. What
interested the cats were little jugs of milk
which hung on the tree, together with
dainty baskets OF raw beef and boxes of
catnip. These dainties were distributed,
and the cats commenced their gustatory en-
joyment. The visitors were a little shy
over the beef, which the home cats ate with
evident relish. but they all enjoyed the cat
nip.
After this treat the cats became playful
and some were so familiar that they quar-
relied with their friends, and nearly came to
blows. They did exchange little dabs at
each other with furled claws and one was
so impolte as to "spit" at another
All regretted the absence of Mrs. William
Reeds gray Thomas, who sent his regrets
at not being able to join in the festivities.
Like children at party, the cats became
sleepy and shortly curled themselves into
comfortable positions for maps. When this
became general, the cat family of the host
ess was bundled off TO bed. the visitors were
returned to their bags and carried off home.
And the cat party ended.

thing like this:

pleasant little affair: but, dear me, how
can she accept invitations. to dinners, lunch
cons and the like and then just invite peo-
pie IN for an afternoon. give them only a
little cake and ice cream, and fancy she
has discharged her social obligations"

A Trying Ordeal.

Hostesses who have whole houses all to
themselves little imagine the distresses to
which less fortunate women are sometimes
exposed. Not long ago one of these crucial
experiences came to a gracious lady who
occupied very small, coy bedroom In
fat. Next to her apartment was a larger
room with connecting door, and, when it
was not rented for several weeks. the land
lady kindly offered IL to the lady of the lit
tie room for her own free use. One night
social ambition got the upper hand and she
gave function" A lively bevy of frie nds
was summoned. and all was very merry in
the jolly little parlor. Suddenly tap came
to the door, the little hostess was called
out. TO return in great CONSERVATION, an
ncuncing that the room had been rented
and the function must adjourn to the lit
tie bedroom The scene was tragic, but
stealing a sofa and the best armchair, the
men and women decamped into the adjoin-
ing smaller room and the hilarity went on
without abatement. The guests all declare
that they never had a gayer time in all
their lives, but the perturbed hostess still
states that it ism. pleasant to have the
floor pulled out from under you when you
are giving a swell party.
