Phillips Hall Wednesday evening. This
was another social success. There were
over a hundred young people present, and
they all enjoyed themselves thoroughly,
The hall, to begin with, was very costly
and prettily decorated. One little ante
room in particular was festooned with
curtains and decorated with palms, di-
vans, sofa cushions, ETC., in a way which
only artistic feminine taste could dream
OF. Where the room could afford corners
to be. draped into Oriental retreats, fem
mime ingenuity manufactured them,
while dainty hands and pretty faces peep
ing from behind some tall palm or peer
ing through the leaves of some gigantic
fern, enhanced the beauty Of the place
to a veritable fairy dell.
There is one popularity about these
subscription dances, and that is the fact
that there are no wall flowers. 1t very
seldom happens that a girl sits out a
dance ana when she does it is by her own
desire. No wonder society looks forward
to these assemblies with so much pleas
ure and is willing to DO all in its unlim-
tied power to make them a success. There
are no dance orders, because in an organ
~ization of the kind where courtesy pre-
walls these cards are superiuous. Every
girl who attends knows she can have
every dance, and there is none of the
rush to get orders filled so disgustingly
prevalent at many of the Jersey City
| dances. Much credit is due Mrs. William
II. Vidal, Miss laura Dixon, Mrs. James
f. Fielder, Miss Matilda Miller, Mr..
Harold A. Koonz and Mr.. Robert c.
| Post, who acted as Committee on Ar
engagements.
The remaining dances win take place
at Phillips Hall on the evenings Of De-
cember %. February Is. and April 5.
This "dance order rush. is becoming a
great nuisance. 1t is especially notice
able at affairs where the dance follows an
entertainment. So impatient are the
dancers to get all the dances. and so
afraid one might be left Blank that they
can scarcely keep quiet till the curtain de-
scends, but must needs run round, order
in one hand. pencil in the other, pickias,
choosing and filling in the names of parg-
ners for the various dances. The idea
now prevalent that a lance cannot be Civ
en- without these cards. even where It is
proceeded by an entertainment is, to say
the least, erroneous, while in most in
stances the audience would be more court
eous without them, especially during a
performance.
AT last the High School class of '99 has
succeeded in recording itself on paper
without the assistance of the police.
Proofs have been submitted of the last
picture taken on City Hall steps, by
Wins, and though the girls declare it
does, not fatter, still there is no such
catastrophe as at the last sitting, a polise-
man in the background, and the expeetant
graduates being tired of tramping to and
from City Hall, say it will do. As a likes
ness the picture is eonsidefed good.
The Woman's clrb will meet on Thurs
day of next week in Hasbrouck Hall, and
the Ramhlersand Ode Volumes will both
meet on Wednesday afternoon. at Has
brouck Institute and the residence of Mrs.
c.. c.. Stimets respectively.

A Little Card Trick.

A Russian priest was SO devoted to
the amusement Of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church serv
ices.
On one occasion, having n particu-
larly good hand dealt him, he thrust
the cards into his pocket, intending
to return and finish the game after
the service. Unluckily the cards
fell out on the church floor to the
extreme scandal of the congregation.
The witty priest, however, was
fully equal to the OCCASION AT the
conclusion Of the service he beckOn-
ell up one of the clloristers and asked
him the names of several of tho
cards, which the boy knew correct
ly. He than suddenly asked the lad
tho name of the next saints day,
which the child could not tell.
"See!'' cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. You teach your
children the names of every card in
thopack and leave them ignorant of
their religion. Let this be tho last
time am compelled to bring play
ing cards into the church to shame
you and picking up his hand he
made an honora bic at.-London

Pyramid Climbing.

Climbing the pyramids is no slight
task. Mountain climbing is no more
difficult. The trip to tile pyramids
is now easy for visitors, as a good
road has been made. A ten mile
drive brings one to the foot of Gizeh,
the largest of them all, and on
whose construction 100000 men
were employed for 80 years, all to
make safe resting place for the
body of monarch whose corpse was
atterward stolen. The second lar
gest pyramid is almost equal in size,
and then follow other pyramids of
varying height, tho total number
still standing being about Is. Many
visitors ascend Gizeh and most are
sorry afterward. 1t is astonishing to
see the BedOuins, who run up and
down Gizch against time. The two
fastest runners there agree to get to
the top and down again in eight
minutes. Visitors, however, have to
be helped up each step.-Chioago

He said to Professor Mivart:

to support liberation as Il principlel'
''Indeed?" said l.
''No," he continued. II think vice
and error ought to be extirpated by
force If it could be done"
"You amaze me-" / rejoined.
"Then you rehabilitate Torquemada
and some others we have all been
accustomed to blame"
II think" he answered, "they
wero quitorigh in principle, though
the way they carried the principle

ago he was due at Il swell card party

unable to keep his eyes open. He
repaired to his apartments, but
dared not lie down for fear he would
oversleep himself and miss his en-
gasennnt.
In the emergency an idea struck
him. Going over to the messenger
