Mrs. Mckinley Holds Reception, but Has
to Omit the Public.
The presidential party arrived at the
ball at a quarter before 10 o'clock, but
they came in so quietly at the main en-
trance on the south side Of the building
that only those gathered about the door
were aware of their presence. The party
was ushered up the main staircase to the
second floor, where a suit Of rooms was
reserved for them.
After few moments, in which, Mrs
McKinley's wraps were removed, the
party moved into that room ordinarily
the Office Of the commissioner of pen
sions, where they received the most dis
tinguished guests. Mrs. Mckinley sat
in big velvet upholstered armchair
while the guests were presented to her.
1t soon became apparent that Mrs.
Mckinley would not be able to receive
the public. so after she had been in the
building for half an hour it was thought
best by the management that she should
retire from the exciting turmoil There.
fore, the doors were closed against many
notables who desired to enter. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley and the re-
mainder of the party descended to the
dancing floor. Before the presidential
party emerged upon the floor a long
aisle had been made across the hall
lined by members OF the hall committee.
The president. with Mrs. Mckinley on
his arm, moved slowly along, smiling
and bowling in response to the low muir
INJURED greetings from both sides. Mrs.
Mckinley smiled happily and sweetly.
The party entered supper room ct
the west end of the building, especially
reserved and decorated for them. Here
they partook of light refreshments. In
a few minutes they emerged from the
supper room and returned, as they had
come, through an aisle cleared for them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley Immediately
entered their carriage and were driven
back to the White House. 1t was short
ly after IL o'clock when they took their
departure. The ball was now formally
opened. Later, supper was served and
the remainder of the evening was given
up to the dancing as the crowd had
thinned out sufficiently to permit it.

The Aim of Christ,s Work.

peace on earth" was the aim of
Christ's work in this world, writes Ed
ward Bellamy in The Ladies' Home
Journal The whole gist of his doctrine
and the burden of his teaching consisted
in counsels to men how to put an end to
strife with their fellow men and live to.
gether with them in mutual helpfulness.
All this teaching, which was the whole
content of his gospel, was grouped about
and crystallized in the golden rule,
whereon our modern world is founded
as on an everlasting foundation. To be-
lieve in Christ and not to believe in the
golden rule as the only plan for socia.
organization seems to us a moral and
rational mpossibility-an unthinkable
proposition. Just this, however, our an
cestors undertook to do, and it is fair tc
admit that they were very frank about
it. They made no pretenses.

Value of Salvation.

The estimation in which a man holds
his salvation is well gagged by the use
he makes of his money. Barnabas, in
the apostolic church, selling his posses
sions in order to relieve the poverty and
need of his less fortunately circumstance
ed brethren, is type Of believers never
extinct, yet always too few i'll the Chris
tian church. Ananias and Sapphire,
Oh the other hand, are specimens Of a
kind of members who desire the fame of
generosity and benevoence, yet give
grudgingly aud deceitfully. The man
and woman who stint their offerings to
God and complain at the amount of
their church expenses and the backward
ness of others in giving may believe
themselves very pious and persuade
themselves that they deserve great praise
for liberality, but their spiritual condi-
tion is better gagged by others. A stingy
man is one of the meanest specimens Of
the race. No sin is more destructive of
piety than respectable selfishness If one
would know how much he prizes saliva
tion of himself and others, let him sit
calmly down and calculate how much
he spends on his own needless luxuries
and how much he saves by close self de-
nial to give for the betterment of other
men. Not the amount of the gift is
what counts. Its proportion to one IS
ability and its cost in heart care and
self denial are what give weight in the
balances of God.

Kenilworth Castle For 1t.
"Could | get some slips of Kenil-

at Kenilworth castle one day." said a
traveller.
"'You are an American, aren't you,
madam asked the keeper, with smile.
"'NVhy, yes, bat what Of that?' re-
sponded the lady, with some slight en-
barrassment.
"All American ladies como and ask
mo for Kenilworth ivy after they have
searched in every nook and corner of
the ruins for it, explained the keeper.
They have told me how common it is
in America and how much it is priced,
and generally explained that they have
promised to take some of the real thing
back from Kenilworth ruins for friends
at home. They tell me they expected to
find the ruins of Kenilworth castle over
grown with the beautiful "Kenilworth
IVY" and that it is generally supposed
in America that such is the case, and
that the ivy first came from here or is
named after these ruins because of its
abundance here.
1.-The woman nodded assent to all this,
and the keeper continued;
"'But what you know as "Kenil-
worth ivy" doesn't grow in or about
Kenilworth ruins, as you've no doubt
discovered. And he smiled again, and
the woman also smiled in an embarrass-
ed way, for she had been hunting every
inch Of the ruins over, looking for the
plant. From the description of the plant
which Americans give me | think it is

"And the woman turned away, with a
little sigh, as she thought of the hang
ing basket at home which was to have
been filled with real Kenilworth ivy

had promised slips of the real thing
