In matters of social form, nothing pro-
notes more blunders than notes OF accept
ance and regret
The proper etiquette governing lat home"
invitations is simple enough when It is
remembered that an affair of this SOFT is a
manner, on the part of the hostess of pay
ing calls. so that when you attend TIE re-
ception and leave your card. or send it by
mail, you have returned tn obligation.
There is no law. however, forbiading an
after call If you wish to make it.
AS to acceptance and regrets for "at
homes the form is that invitations for
that sort of entertainment require no notice
on the part of the receiver other than that
card sent on the day of the reception or
before, Is sufficient testimony to the hostess
that the sender will not be present She
knows that those who mean to attend will
leave their cards as they enter. Accept
or Regrets" written on a card IS very
bad form.
If your intimacy with the hostess var
rants 1t, a personal note of regret may be
sent but never the terse Regrets" on a
visiting card

Social Forms

The latest affectaton In gentiemen's Wis
itng cards is that the head of the family
shall be Mr.. Browne and not Mr.. T.
Walker Browne. His wife is likewise Mrs
Browne. while her sisters or daughters in
law are forced to use their husbands uames
on their visiting cards.
We have long had the forul that the old
est daughter is Miss Browdo. while her
sister. is Miss Maud Browne. This same
idea In gentlernan's name is. however,
quite the latest fad, and a somewhat con-
tusing one.

The Gamblers hoodOo.

Any one who has had occasion to watch
the childish superstitions of gamblers,
whether in the gambling resorts along
the Rhine, or in New Orleans, or on the
Texas frontier of Mexico, cannot fail to
be struck by the resemblance between the
antics of our business men," at this
season particularly, and those of gamblers
at all seasons, especially when they are
losing.
The gambler is superstitious being.
His deity is Hazard, and he imagines he
can conjure her. If he sits with his right
leg in certain posture, or if squirting
visitor passes before him, or if his money
drops tail or head upward, or if the seam
of his handkerchief is right side or wrong
side in view,-these and so many other
trivialties, portend i'll or good luck to
him, and by seeking to control them he
fancies he can control fortunes wheel.
The more adverse his luck, the more
credulously the gambler sticks to his
superstitions. The gamblers hoodoo is
proverbial.
Just so with our business men. "
Theirs is not strictly speaking a game of
chance. But in view of the fact that an
infinite mass of information is requisite
on the condition of the market to guide
the business man." in view of the fact
that it is impossible for any one mind to
grasp all the needed points, and above all,
in view of the sublime ignorance of "bus-
mess men" touching the nature of the

The Coming Revolution by Henry
l.. Call, published by the Arena
publishing company, is the best
book issued on present conditions
that we have had the good fortune
to meet with. A panorama Of
abuses which overwhelm society
are passed in review, and as they
pass are explained and the remedy
pointed out by the master of cere
monies, the author. What the
present political movement means
and the Populist party stands for
the "Coming Revolution" is al
epitome of. NOOne can understand
what the Populist party stands fol
so well as he will after having reaG
this book. The author not only
points out the evils which afflict
the body polite till it is sick al
most unto death, but makes cleal
the remedies so plainly that the
ordinary wayfarer may understand
them.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-11-20

The shylock conspirators had
succeeded in working up such a
fright among the Wall street gang
and spectators which extended to
persons engaged in Legitimate
business that it required all theil
efforts to prevent a disastrous
panic and the failure of many
houses on the eve of the election
People had drawn their money out
of banks and out of business to such
an extent, worked upon by the
lying daily journals, that panic
was barely avoided, equal to the
bankers conspiracy of 1898. The
Clearing House had made arrange
ments to issue certificates, but
several of the large banks formed
pool to supply money to those
who would have to fail unless they
got relief.
The unrestricted license of the
banks was never so exposed and
the danger they are capable of, as
in the late campaign.
The money monopoly is the most
dangerous of all the monopolies and
the safety of the people and their
property calls loudly for its des'
truction. The national banks have
filled to the brim the measure of
their iniquity in the late campaign.
