DANCERS SUPPLIED TO ORDER.
A London Dry Goods store Provides
Dancing Young Men TO Its Custom
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
Among the articles purveyed to its Gus
toners by a mammoth London dry goods
store are young dancing men. In London.
as elsewhere, hostesses have the greatest
difficulty in obtaining the requisite number
of male dancers for their balls. Outside of
the military, dancing men form a very
small minority of the regular residents of
the metropolis. on the other hand there
are almost al all times plenty of visitors
in London, young men who come up for a
few days from the country or the uni
versities, who would be only TOO glad of
the opportunity to attend a private ball
but are debarred therefrom owing to the
limited extent of their acquaintance in the
city.
To obviate this difficulty and bring the
would-be hostesses and guests together
plan has been devised by the management
of the big shop which is said TO work salts
factorily. When customer intends 10
give ball and finds that she Will not be
able to find partners for all her women
guests she notifies the shop to supply her
with specified number Of young men
The order is filed through the medium
of a list wherein male visitors to the city
are requested 70 enter their names OF
course the management of the shop has to
be very careful concerning The social
status of hosts and guests. 1t would never
do to send small tradesmen to the house
Of woman of rank. This difficulty is oh
waited by a system Of tabulaton. The
managers take care 10 find out all about
the hostesses and the men, and. having
satisfied themselves concerning their posi-
ton in society arrange them in groups ac-
cOrdingly.
Thus everybody can be suited without
danger Of unpleasant contretemps. The
scheme is said to be profitable to the store
for Of course the young men who are thus
accommodated buy their gloves, ties ana
other necessities there.

IN MEMORIAM

IN NBMORIAM
OF MRS. P. K. Shells.
who departed this life May &c, 1898.
When truth and poesy unite
To give expression to a thought
OF one departed from our sight,
Who when in life, works nobly wrought:
How poor's the offering we place,
How weak is language to recall
Each tender act, each gentle grace,
OF that dear one beneath deaths pail.
The noble lady of my theme
Who now sleeps in deaths cold embrace;
Knew not what twas in life to seem
Her heart was pictured in her face.
Benevolence and kindness were,
OF many sweet attributes chief,
Fer responsive when want and care,
Asked at her gentle hands relief.
God loves a cheerful giver"-bent
On bringing joy to misery;
And lives earths pure embodiment
Unostentatious charity.
And this kind lady, now at rest,
Found not in death dark terrors grim;
But in the mansions of the blest.
Found treasures she had placed with
Him.
A mothers love found in her heart,
Affections tend'r chords enshrned;
Twas of her life the sweeter part,
So pure, and tender, and refined
Fair friends may come, and friends may
go,
New faces soon Iife's pathway cheer;
But, none the grief can ever know,
That weeps DER mothers vacant chair.
Rest, gentle, lady. Christian heart!
Thy sad death will be felt for long.
BY those to whom you did impart.
Thy noble charities among.
The prayers for thee, that they will saw.
Bright jewels in thy crown will be.
Gods crown of love-to be worn. aye.
In His sweet home eternaHy.
FRIEND.
