loveliness.

1t was the good fortune of a GRAPHIC reporter to view the scene where beauty, ehivalry and loveli- ness reigned. And a pretty sight it was-a veritable fairy land-to see those gallant little men and those lovable little girls enjoying them selves to their hearts delight, indif ferent of the past, careless of the future, with but one thought, but one hope, and that to enjoy them selves in the present, and by the merry ring of their own laughter contribute something to the pleas ure of others
 After tripping the lightfantastic" for few 43eeting hours. the merry little ones were invited into the spa cious dining room of Mr. and Mrs. Howell where before them was spread Il table beautifully decorated and ladened with all lthe delieacies and substantiuls of the season. X very beautiful souvenirs small delicate pink basket filled with fine candy, was distributed among all the guests as memento of the oe- eaaion.
 The decorations were all in pink. which blending with the radient g low Of innummeraI gas jets, lent pleasing effect % the entires scene. At the hour of midnight the guests relcutantly took their leave, shower ing their compliments and good wishes upon tine fair young hostess, and hoping for an early return of the occasion.

Miss Gaibraith Entertalns.

Thursday night was one which for past pleasures, will long dwell in the memory ef the young ladies and gentlemen who had the honor of enjoying the hospitalities of Miss Ella Galbraith at the home of her parents on East Sixth avenue. On that occasion the members of the Heart Whist and Eachre Club were rendered a "Log9nachy party" by the charming young hostess. The evening was one of exceeding pleas- ure to all and the game full of inter- est, enliyened as it was by the brilli- ant wit and repartee of the young people present. At a reasonable hour the aaintiest refreshments were served in . manner that was credit to the popular young hostess. Miss Gussie Taggart captured the lady's prize, which was an exquisite lace handkerchief. MT. Frank Roane did himself honor by winning the gents prize, which was a silver mounted lead pencil

Complimentary to Miss Hanks.

Among the most notable social events of the week was the Valentine Party given Friday night by Miss Grace York at the home of her parents, on West Fifth avenue. com plimentery to Miss Ay1ma Hanks, of Memphis. The heentertainment was as unique and novel as it was enjoy able. The game of Hearts was the feature of the evening, and the manner in which partners for the evening were selected created no little interest. The gentlemen were given a"Cupid $ arrow" ,and this each shot at number of hearts arranged in darkened room. The one he struck was his partner for th5 oc- casion. The house was lovely with decorations.
 During the evening the young people were ushered into the hand some dining hall, which was exquis- itely decorated, where a sumptuous float was served in six courses. Miss Minnie Roane carried off the honors of the evening by winning the beautiful prize offered fo the most successful "heart player" The prize was a magnificent valen- tine

A Fancy Dress Pink Party.

The last week has been q noted one in society circles, not only on ac- count of the famous Bradley Martin bah which cost a half-million dollars and which has excited interest on two continents, but it has also been an important week in social ciroles in Pine Pluff-at least for the "cAil. dren
 New York has had her Bradley Martin ball and Pine Bluff has had her first fancy dress ball for the little folks, and while not quite so elabo- rate, the latter has excited as much interest and rivalary among the lit tie folks of Pine Bluff as the former among the aristocratic 400" of New York.
 It is doubtful if a more brilliant scene ever attended the gilded court of Louis XIV than that which at tended the pleasant social function which took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. C.. Howell, on West Fifth, Friday evening, on which occasion their charming little daugh- ter, Ella, entertained her young friends with 6 fancy dress party in honor of her guest, little Miss Hazel Hauxhurst, of New York.
 On this occasion gay cavaliers mingled with beauty-the sepefior of which never existed around the most brilliant of royal courts in either ancient or modern times. And all the noted characters 9f his- tory and fiction, mingled together in one brilliant array as if the past was passing in review for inspection and judgment, utterly oblivious of the incongruity of time. The Elm press Josephine marched arm in arm with Sir Walter Raleigh, who was beheaded by his Queen T hundred years before the Empress reigned If the Tuelleries, while the Lady of the 18th Century was embraced in the may waltz by the modern Beau Brummel. And SD it was all along the list-a beautiful commingling o history's nohlemen and natures

st. Louis has in view one of the
most gigantic of modern transporta-
ton enterprises. This is the changing
of all ner terminal lines from steam
power to electric. 1t is contemplated
to run only electric motors within the
city limits, dispensing with the
screeching smoking engines now in
use. All passenger and freight trains
over her beft lines will be handled by
an immense power house ample for
all purposes and there will be an end
to the smoke nuisance within the city
limits, once the new departure is ac-
compnshed. The negotiations for the
change are already under way, and it
is probable that they will be success
full. In this departure st. Louis is on
ly pioneering the way for all other
cities, and not alone for them but for
the traffic of the country, which it is
confidently expected will all be run
by electric motors before it is break
fast time in the approaching century,
StLouis is not dead yet.

If Francis Murphy closed a two
months crusade against the saloons
in Boston with $1,000 actual pledges
to total abstinence he has accomplish
ed more in the way of reforming and
preventing drunkenness than all the
prohibitory laws of the states have
accomplished in two decades. If man
wants to prohibit himself from drink
ing that is his own business, and il
he cannot indulge without getting
drunk, then it is the best thing that
he can do. This is reform that ev-
cry reputable saIoonkeeper in the
country will endorse. Drunkenness is
not by any means virtue IN their es-
timation. Outside Interference with
the inside man is resented.

Dom Paul Kruger is a thorn in the
side of British possession in South
Africa. He feels that with a close al
lance with Germany and the Free
Orange state he would stand a much
better chance of maintaining his own
in controversy with England over
that indemnity. Germany will not hes
itate to put her foot into any shoe
that Kruger may place for her in
South Africa, as the cherished dream
of Germany is for territorial posses
sion and Africa is her most inviting
field There is now no love lost be
tween William and the British crown
and the irritation in Africa will only
intensity the feeling. What effect it
will have in disrupting the concert in
Europe over Cretan affairs is only
conjecture, but it will not operate as
an emOlient.
