of President Mckinley failed to arouse
more than few perfunctory cheers,
some faint applause and spasmodic
waving Of handkerchiefs. The mighty
cheers that greeted Grover Cleveland
when he rode down Pennsylvania Az
enue twelve years ago were wanting
Thursday, and the irresistible applause
that greeted Fitzhugh Lee as he rode
at the head of the Virginia troops was
scarcely echoed last week. We would
not like to compare this inaugural pa
rade to a funeral procession, but it
could have been a great deal livelier
without hurting anybody. President
Mckinley reviewed the parade from
stand in front of the White House,
and when it had passed he entered the
historic mansion as its master. Mr..
Cleveland had taken his final depart
ure from it few hours previous.
There was fine display of fireworks
at night in the monument lot, when
rockets, bombs and pyrotechnics Of
every sort Illuminated the heavens.
The inaugural ball followed, when near
ly 10000 persons paid FIVE dollars
head to see the decorations in the court
of the pension building and hear the
band play.

The Exclusion of Immigrants.
tFrom the New York Times J


1t would be interesting to know the
nativity of those labor leaders out in
Ohio who have formally resolved that
the time has come for this country to re-
fuse admission to any more immigrants
Are the or ginators of that resolution all
lineal descendants of immigrants who
came over in the May fl )wer? Did the
great-grandfathers OF them all fight in
the revoution-and on the right side
Did they or their fathers take effective
part in the debate o. 1861. Go Ia word,
who are they that they should claim a
right to shut the nations door in the
face of all comers? The odds are 10 to
that each of thes' leaders, 80 called,
still has trouble in pronouncing ter
mjnal 18th Native Americans and
those residents who are really American

since that time beautiful foot is more val
liable than ever before, and any device
calling attention to its attractiveness is
most carefully cultivated. A toe ring serves
just this purpose.
Now, when the woman of many fads
joins Turkish bath party she does not,
under an impulse of mistaken modesty,
conceal her feet from view. She rather
allows them to be as conspicuous as the
conditions will allow, while her friends are
encouraged to admire openly their white
ness and slendeIness. As mark of ex-
IRENE novelty she now places on each big
toe ring which does not differ at all, ex-
cept in size, from the ones she wears on her
fingers.
1t may be of plain gold, or it may be
made brilliant with jewels. There are no
restrictions as to its character But, gro
tesque as the idea appears at first thought,
pretty ring is unquestionably an ornament
to pretty foot, and the women who are
brought to realize this will doubtless hasten
to initiate the example which has been set
them

MARRIAGES THAT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN.

The saddest marrages-t that might-have-
been are those disappointments which come
from merely worldly obstacles OBJ
stacles which are so abundant and gigantic
in older countries and so much more easily
here. In countries where every place
seems filed where self-support is so diff
cult as to seem impossible, it may be need
full to wait for middle life and comfort
ahIe income before marriage. But here,
where the openings are so much greater,
the standards so much simpler, it is diff
prudence as regards marriage, we need
rather a gospel of brave impiudence that
young people who have health and love
and energy should take them rs their CAPT
tai, should marry on faith and hope and
not on Il certain supply Of bank stock and
railway shares. Who has not seen the
happiness that comes from the need Of mu-
tual sacrifices the joy of little success
achieved together, the gradual building of
y
are hose which begin in this way, and
not those which are postponed till the
freshness Of youth is passed marriages
which, in order to have something to live
upon, forego the actual joy Of living.
That poet Of the people, Riley, touched a
cord well nigh universal when he sang;
Lets 20 avsitin' back to Grigby's Station,
There where we used to be so happy and so
poor
The young man in love with the rich
girl waits for years until he can support
her in the manner to which she is accus-
toned, and finds to late that she would
have flung away all and lived with him in
jubilant poverty, had he trusted her and
himself little more. Yes, the saddest
of the marriages-thatmigh have are
those which onght to have been and could
have been and were not.-Harper's Bazaar.

RINGS ON HER TOES.

In an old nursery rhyme there was a lady
who cultivated what then seemed the verv
remarkable habit of wearing rings on
fingers and bells on her toes. Her descend
ant, the society woman Of today has, in
reversing the old arrangement, inaugurated
still more remarkable habit Many of
the rings which the modern woman wears
do actually have bells on them; and as for
wearing rings on her toes, that is now an
established custom.
Toe rings are not yet visible in the Jewel
ers' windows because they are as vet made
only to fill special orders; put, says the
New York World, if the fashion is followed
up, as it is likely to be, they will soon be
as plentiful as bracelets or silver hatpins.
There are, as it will be surmised, great
many occasions on which the toe ring can
not be worn. 1t is not worn in the day
time under shoe, nor in the evening under
a slipper. But there are times when it is
allowed to shine forth in all it's glory, and
one Of these times is when its owner is
taking Turkish bath. The pride and de
light which society women take in their
prettily shaped, eXquisitely cared for feet,
possibly in most cases date no further back
than the Trilby fever, but it is certain that

engine walking slowly around it. At length
my attention was attracted by a question

Marsten took the money and slipped II into

again.

He was In the back walk a few minutes

Firm footsteps passed down the hall, the
outside door opened and shut and in tho
silence the crunch on the gravel was dis
tinctly heard
The anxiety cleared away from Mr.. Hopes
face like the passing Of a cloud. and faint
smild lowered about his lips. He seemed to
have forgotten Marstens presence in the in
tensity of the moment.
"Clever girl, Susy-so | was, so | was" he
murmured to himself.
"Good-by and thank you, Mr.. Hope" said
Marsten, rising. 81 will go at once and see
Mr., Sartwell."
Yes yes. In a momcnt-in a moment"
said the old man. with a glance out Of the
window. His voice sank into an apologetic
tone as he added, as If asking favor:
Wont you take some money with you to

trifles, now and then. Sartwell said the
strike would end in a fortnight or three
weeks. He's clever man, Sartwell-a
clever man-but was mistaken in that. We
all make mistakes one time or another. /
wouldn't care for him to know you see, that
contributed anonymously to the strike
fund; he might think it prolonged the strike
and perhaps it did-perhaps 1t did. 1t is
difficult to say what ones duty is in a
case like this-very difficult. So perhaps it
is best to mention this to no one.
Il shall never breathe a word about it,
Mr.. Hope"
That's rght-thats right. l am very
glad you came, and I'll speak to Sartwell
about you when we get in running order
again. Now just come out by the front door
this time, and when you speak to Mr. Sart-

might appear to criticse his actions in any
