The Employees Given Holiday

The Employees Given a Holiday
The Cotton Belt railroad boys are
patriotic, or, at least, the officials of
the road desire them to be. Mon
day, the 22d Of February, is Wash
ington's birthdays therefore, in
order to give the employees an OPP
portunity to celebrate the natal day
Of the Father of Our Country"
the shops Of the road in this city
will be shut down Monday, and
there will be no work d ne in that
great industrial center. However,
as all the employees are paid by the
hours they actually work, 1t is need
less to remark that the payroll
next month will be many hundreds
Of dollars lighter on account of the
holiday.

saInaguudi Party

Since the bali started to rolling in
the fashionable world this season,
nothing has been so smart. and
created SO much interest as the Sal
magundi Party given by Mrs W. D.
Hearn, Thursday last, in honor of
her cousin, Mrs. Hauxhurst, Of New
York
week previous, the friends Of
Mrs Hearn received the invitation,
and for once i'll their lives, if never
before, their dictionaries were sought
for We all wondered what the ma
ture Of the entertainment could be-
We remembered full well Washing
ton-Irving Salmagundi-would we
be expected to give the current
events OF the day, or called upon to
tell something OF every thing we
knew? Inquiries were made on all
sides and in every direction, but no
satisfaction gained.
We knew Mrs Hearn was ever on
the alert for something new and
novel; that she is always a most
charming hostess, and that
her lovely Lakeside home,
so artistically furnished. was beau
tiful with pictures, sculpture; with
color, sweetness, peace and hos
pitality. and that an evening with
her could not fail to give gladness
and enjoyment. 'sAll things come
to those who wait, and at last the
day arrived.
THE day so mild,
Was Heavens own child"
Everywhere the freshness and
tender province OF spring-the genial
sunshine and balmy atmosphere
could we have asked fer anything
more delightful?
The cordial greeting in the han by
the hostess and her fair guest OF
honor made each and all feel most
welcome.
On entering the parIor, we thought
our curiosities were then satisfied
as we saw small tables all arouna.
but then, among the crowd we dis
covered the preacher wife and many
OF the strict church members, so
cards could not be the amusement.
We did not have long to wait, how.
ever, when the hostess announced
that we would have in procession. a
variety OF games. among the num-
Der, a revival of our childhood
amusements with mp to-date inn
proyements. 'Tis needless to say
we enjoyed it, for playing Jack
straws with the mag nalie, learning
to thread the needle hastily, and
guessing conundrnms made us for
get that we were bordering ON to
the shady side Of life; While the
study Of familiar faces often seen in
maya zines and periodicals ofcelebra-
ted men and women proved not more
entertaining than did our popular
game, Logomachy, where a word is d
trick, and trick is a word play

were charmed with the artistic taste
and skill displayed in decorations.
A soft light glowed from beneath
the pink shades oflamps and candles.
Sweet flowers and trailing vines,
prettily mingled with the rare cut
glass and handsome china for which
the hostess is noted, and which
sparkled in beauty and profusion,
Upon each plate was a lovely
