VELLUM AND OLD ENGLISH.
Society Women Visit Almost Exclusively
With These Cards.

The stationer brought out all hot for
the holiday trade some very effective
novelties. To the women whose taste is
severly classical he has catered with
ivory white yellum note size and invita-
ton sheets. and as Mrs. Vanderbilt has
laid down the law in favor of Il revival
OF old English lettering that style of
engraving appears on all the smart sta
tionery. Women's visiting cards are now
small square pieces of rather heavy vel
lum and the name runs in heavy black
Gothic characters. In the right and left
corners the day at home and
the address are printed in small neat Ro-
man type. Young ladies, who are under
the chaperonage of a mother or aunt, use
one size smaller than those for matrons
and they don't have any day engraved
on the parchment squares.
The large card, announcing reception
tea, has been called in. \ sheet of vel
lum paper is used exactly like that on
which parents announce o. invite TO a
wedding. and the usage of the hour is of
Roman numerals. Some hyper-fashiona-
bic women give the number of their street
and houses in Roman numerals on their
cards; il is now the universal custom
on every invitation that is engraved. and
also in giving the house and street num-
Der at the top of note paper. This has
odd but very decorative look and the
only argument against il is that The prac-
tice will soon become vuigarized.
With Il laudable desire to conquer that
feminine weakness for writing Il note any
way the sheets naturally turn, qures of
single leaf paper have been introduced
and strange to say the women like it
You can buy box of small single note
leaves or large single letter leaves of the
thinnest bank note paper, since that is
particularly good taste for letters and
YOU are expected To write only on one
side of the sheet. At The top of every
leaf, olt the side on which YOU write is
your address in tiny black Roman nu-
merals, and good taste now exacts that
you number your sheets at the top as You
go along.
Having cast out the big reception tea
cards those women who are deep in ali
the smart clubs and charities have or
dered parchment engagement cards. They
are longer than broad and are so engraved
that by only filling in the dates, a busy
society bee can let a protege or a fellow
worker In q club or on 4 committee knew
expeditiously when she can see them and
for exactly how many minutes Cards
like these come in block pads and have
their own envelopes.
This winter" said stationer who IS
engraver by special selection TO the smart
set, weddings are announced as much
by two small cards as the double sheet of
parchment or a single card from the
brides parents. The two-card arrange
ment consists of one that has Mr.. and
Mrs. George Blissful Harmony at home on
1t with their day and house number. Tied
to 1t. by a bit of white lutte string ribbon.
Is a tiny card bearing merely the brides
maiden name. These cards are used a
great deal for sending around after the

The C;fN Hall noSa.faR

An unusual air of quiet pervaded the
City Hall this morning Not a sound

steps when he too would be relieved from
duty and be off to enjoy the holiday The
offices of the clerk, the marshal, the re-

YOUTHFUL DEGENERATE
TO BE CHAINED DOWN

Atlantic City, Dec 26-Francs MouI-
ton, five-year-old degenerate who has
given the police of this city consider
able trouble through his mischievous-
ness and depraved character, was order
ed taken to the Jamesburg Reform
School by Judge Endicott. 1t is doubt
full if the officers of the institution will
accept the boy, as the rules of the insti-
tuition state that no child can be ac-
cepted under the age of eight years. In
the event of his being returned to his pa
rents they state that they will anchor
him in a room with ball and chain. the
same as conyicts in State prison. Sew
eral times the boy has been imprisoned
at home in this way, and each time he
cleverly devised means of escape by
opening the door with bent nails, but
ton hooks, pen-knives and other arti-
cles. Although Moulton is only five years
of age, he has been arrested five times.

Out on the water in the moonlight. A
more beautiful or romantic situation for \
young man to tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice to share
his life cannot be imagined.
The courtship of a young couple inay be
ever so romantic and their married life be
very unhappy. There are o1nmon sense
considerations outside of love that have a
world to do with the making of married
happiness. One of the most important of
these considerations is the good health OF
both parties TO the sacred tie. The Young
mar who is in the incipient stages of con.
sumption COMMITS a crime if he marries
before he is restored to health. He con-
dennis his wife to the life of a nurse and
his children to early death, or lives of sick
ness and suffering. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures oS per cent. of all
cases of consumption if taken in its earlier
stages. This is its record established dur
ing the past thirty years. y 1t is the great
blood-maker, flesh-builder, nerve-tonic and
general restorative.
The young woman who suffers from weak
ness and disease Of the delicate and i'm
portant organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible has no right to answer
Yes" to a young mans proposal until she
is thoroughly restored to health in a wom-
anly way. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton prepares a woman for wifehood and
motherhood. 1t makes her strong, healthy
and vigorous where a woman most needs
health, strength and vigor. Thousands of
women have testified to its merits.
MY daughter writes Mrs. N. A. Thomas. of
Little Rock, Ark, "had been under a doctors
care for four years. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, which cured ME, also cured her."

Personal Feeling In Battle.


Writing about the personal feeling of a
commander in battle, General Schofield
says in his "Forty-six Years In the Army
that In his own experience the greater the
actual danger the less it was thought to
be. The responsibilities of a great battle
drive cut all thoughts except those that
are likely to influence the final result
At the battle Of Nashville General
Thomas and General Sohofleld sat togeth-
er on horseback on ground overlooking
nearly the entire field. Occasionally when
a shell exploded near and caused Thomas
horse to make a slight start the only
change visible in that calm, stout hearted
soldier was n slight motion of the Bride
hand to check tho horse. General Soho
leld's own gray charger was fearless, but
Thomas never noticed what effect the ex'
ploslon Of a shell produced on either the
gray horse or his rider.
Thomas would frequently reach 70,
Schofeld's glasses, saying they were the
only fieldglasses he had ever found OF
much use to him. After looking long and
earnestly he would return the glasses with
what seemed to be a Sign OF irritation OF
impatience.
Late In the afternoon, after using the
glasses for the last time, he said to Soho
field with the energy that battle alont
could arouse in his calm nature:
"Smith hos not reached far enough II
the right. Put in your troops!'
Natural oOmbativeness Ia 80 strong In
some generals In battle that they regret.
General Sohofleld oonfesses he did several
times-tbat rank prevents them from us
ing a musket in the ranks.
II have seen this passion 30 strong
writes General Schofisld, "that a major
general commanding IN army corps would
dismount and act the part Of gunner to .
field iece, apparently oblivious to the bat
tie II .sing oil along the line Of his corps"
