Silver Wave Castle No. II, A. 0. K.
of M. c., at its last meeting had good
attendance of members. Five candl-
dates received the esquire degree, and
made application for the sir knight
degree at its next meeting, February
II. By that time We expect to use the
new rituals.
One of the principles of our order is
to visit the sick and relieve the dis
tress of our brother sir knights. There
is nothing that will strengthen the or
der as much as fraternal visitation.
A brother sir knight confined to his
home and room for many days is often
helped more by a cherry visit from a
member of his castle than by the doc
tors medicine. Don't sit down and
whine: but with cheering conversation
lead his mind for time away from ms
troubles 1t is not necessary to tell
him that he looks badly, and that you
svmpathize with him in his affllctlon.
His glass will truly tell him the nrst'
and your visit and your friendly
words will show your interest in him
Don't whine to him about such things
as may have gone amiSS in the castle,
or over YOUR own affairs, but tell MN
of the pleasant happenings and snow
by your pleasant looks that all is Wen
and that the world is growing brighter
with every cycle of the sun. Let the
magnetism of your own soul create
brightness and hope in his; remem-
Der the old saying, iron sharpeneth
iron. So does the countenance OF a
man his friend. If as sir knight we
do these things you had better remain
away. There are new members to Sc
cure: you can do your best in that d.
rection. There is no better way 70
increase the power and influence OF a
castle than by cheerfully performing
the work given you to do. Sir knight
let us be up and be doing. Let us
bring in new members for this IS the
life of an order to have constant i'll
tiations. and then let us take care OF
those who are members. Let us make
them feel at home, and that they have
an interest in the concern.

quantity of taffeta is being placed in flounces at the bottom of silk skirts both inside and out The rage for "frou-frou" swish and rustic is in evidence, particular ly in the petticoats, and a full measure of silk being necessary to give the proper ''set" to the skirts. The hats that delight ed or made miserable fair woman were conspicuous by a revival of pompadour effects, for which, they say, Mile. Anna Held is responsible. Many of the hats roll directly from the face, while Gainsboro effects are also still in favor A lovely toQue was of black velvet, with grouse breasts An exquisite cape to match was also shown. Another handsome hat was in brown and mode shades, trimmed with plumes. The dropping effect in plumes and wings is noticeable on many of the new hats. All of the new shades are seen to effective advantage in the dress hats. Striking effects are produced in the Louis XVI. styles. Applique crowns are in great favor, as well as handsome buckles and ornaments, aigrettes and large rosettes. Altogether the fashions are very fetching,
 and in all the stores yesterday they were
 seen to great advantage.

Young vanderbiIt's Task.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., the oldest son of the present head of the Vanderbilt fam fly, is now in the west making an inspec- ton of methods and conditions in the me- chanical departments of the Lake Shore ra road. On his return to this city he will submit a report of his observations to President Galloway, of the New York Gen. tral system, by whom he was specially as- signed to this unusual mission. Since last fall young Vanderbilt has been a hard working employe in the motive power and rolling stock department of the New York Central. at salary which is character. .zed by his superior officers as ''yery moder- ate
 It was not upon the recommendation of
 his father or any other member of the Vanderbilt family that Cronellus Wander bilt, Jr., was taken into the service of the
 New York Central railroad. His personal
 request for work was considered upon his
 ind .vidual merits, and his assignment to
 the mechanical department was made in
 view of his known aptitude for that line
 of work, supported by the fact that he had taken a course of mechanical engineer ng at Yale college.
 The estrangement between this young man and his father, in consequence of his refusal to comply with the parental wishes
 regard ng a postponement of his marriage,
 has never been mended Since the, day
 that father and son parted, just prior to the prostration of the senior Vanderbilt by
 paralysis, the two have not met and, SC far as intimate friends of the family know, they have had no communication with eact other. That parting was more than two years ago, Cornelius, Jr., married the girl of h. choice, Miss Grace Wilson, and | is now himself a father. Persons who know the young man well say that his affectionate regard fer his father has never diminished, and that his voluntary abandonment of the ease and luxury | which his own private means, as well as | that of his wife, would enable him to en- | joy. for the disc pine and toll of wage earner, is inspired by a laudable purpose.

A Military Ball at Huntsville.

The most brilliant social event that has been enjoyed in Huntsville for many months was the military hop given by the officers of the First Florida regiment on last Thursday evening at the Huntsville hotel Two hundred invitations were issued and nearly that number accepted. The full dress ball costume of the ladies with their sparkling jewels, the evening dress of the citizens, the elegant and picturesque uni forms of the gallant, handsome officers made a tabieau vivant never to be forgot ten by those who witnessed the scene and heard the exquisite strains of music by the regiment band. Poetry of motion was em- bodied in the graceful mazes of the dance; beauty reigned and gallantry worshiped at her shrine. The entire evening was credit to the refinement and skillful management of the hosts and one of genuine enjoyment to their guests.
