The afternoon reception or tea if
being stripped of its attendant formal
tiles until one begins to wonder what
will be left Of it. 1t is some years
since visite de digestion has been re-
garded as essential from all guests
who would keep in the hostess's good
graces. Then the parting words to the
hostess were Topped or, doubtless to
the hostess's satisfaction. Next, the
leaving of cards by guests at tea was
omitted, and now, we understand, one
of the rules of correct social conduct
which Is becoming so well estab-
lished, in New York at least, that men
are reveling in the relief it brings,
does away with the necessity of send
ing cards In answer to invitations to
these functions The return of a card
used to be looked upon as a necessary
acknowledgment Of such an attention.
This is no longer the case, and In New
York an invitation to anything less
formal than dance or a dinner may
be ignored

Ronrt for m SrnaII Family.

In buying roast Of beef for small
family do not try to buy too large a
one, as the family will tire of 1t before
1t is eaten. A one-rib roast Of the Sec
ond or third cut will usually
be quite sufficient. Have the rib
removed, skewer or tie in a
round shape, season with salt and
pepper dredge with -four: brown
quickly on each side on the stove or In
a hot oven; and finish the process In q
cool oven. Forty minutes will suffice
for the whole operation. If Drowned
potatoes are to accompany the roast,
cut in halves, cook in boiling salted
water until nearly done, then lay in the
dripping pan with the roast and finish
there, basting frequently with the drip
pings.

MEAN MAN BEATEN.
Dinner for the Carpet Nng Proved n

Dinner for the Carpet Jag Proved n
Losing Game.
On the cars day or two since,
coming to B., was stalwart man,
going to New York to buy goods. He
was not what might be called a stingy
or close man, but he was a man who,
when there was cent due him that
swindling might deprive him of would
sacrifice $50 to save the copper.
He had started in the morning with.
out any breakfast, and when E.
hove in sight he gathered himself up
for general skirmish for any and all
kinds of provisions. He had carpet
bag with him, and going into the din
ing room at E., he deposited his
carpet bag on one chair, while he
took another at its side.
He was lost for about ten minutes;
perfectly oblivious to everything, save
that he had a blessed consciousness OF
something very rapidly and agreeably
replenlshing his inward man.
About this time the landlord came
round, calculated:
dollar, sir!"
"a dollar!" responded the eater, "a
dollar! thought you only charged
so cents meal for one? Isn't that
SOP"
That's true" answered Meanness,
"but / count your carpet-bag one,
since it occupies a seat"
Now the table was far from being
crowded, and the gentleman expos
tulated; but the landlord insisted, and
the dollar was reluctantly brought
forth, paid over, and the receiver pass
ed on.
Our victim deliberately rose, and,
opening his corpet-bag to the full ex
tent of its wide mouth, addressed II
as follows:
"Carpet-bag, 1t seems you are an in.
dividual, q human individual-sinct

Upon this he seized everything eata.

passengers and the discontinue of the
landlord, phlegmatically went out and
took his seat in the cars. He said he
had secured provisions enough to last
him to New York, after a bountiful
supply had been served out in the cars
There was at least SIS worth in the
bag, upon which the landlord realized
nothing in the way of profit.

had the wisdom to know that an active life
in the open air alone, would not keep a

natural processes of the various vital

NEW IDEA FOR A CARVING TABLE.
carving tables are made a fraction
lower than the dining table, so they
are perfectly convenient to carve upon
without rising, and can be lifted to the
carver's side just before the roast is
brought in; then, by slightly turning,
the carving is done. and the centrepiece
and table decorations left spotless.

Toilettes.
Whatever variety of spring wraps may
be developed as the season advances, the
modified blouse can be relied upon to be
absolutely correct. The design shown com.
bines the fitted back with slightly pouched
front, and can be worn open, revealing the
full front or jabot of lace, or closed to the
throat, as preferred. AS illustrated the
material is covert cloth in blended tones OF

ings are equally appropriate The backs
are scanned at the centre and joined to the
fronts by means of side-backs, but the
fronts are fitted by shoulder and under-arm
seams only. The two fronts, which are
extended to form reTers, are self-faced and
finished with a narrow fancy braid. AT
The neck is a high standing collar, which
meets the revers in uneven notches. When
worn open, the fronts are simply rolled
back; when closed, they are brought to-
yether at the neck and fastened by means
of hook and loop. The basque portion is
attached al the waist line, the seam being
concealed by a belt of black satin, The
sleeves are two-seamed and fit snugly At
the wrists are simple Follower cuffs edged
with braid like that which finishes the

The venerable playgoer who mildly
wondered recently what had become Of
the pretty chorus girls, as he never
seemed to find any lately, now has his
question answered. Klaw and Erlanger

have eornered the beauty market and
thereby shown their astuteness, for the
recipe Of a successful extravaganza is
lots OF pretty women in contracted but
gorgeous costumes and an abundance of
music with tune to it. 1t was this
formula rather than any innate vital
spark that gave "Evangeline" it's re-

A PAPER ON HAWAII.

C. W. Putnam entertained the menu
bers of Gen. w 5. Lincoln command,
U. V. L., Monday evening, with an in
teresting paper on Hawaii Mr.. Putnam
opened by showing the geographical 10
cation Of the islands. The unique posi-
ton, he said, has given them the name
of 1.-THE cross roads of the Pacific,
The key of the Pacific and ''The Glib
raitar of the Pacific" Prominent au-
thorities say that Hawaii is one of the
most important strategical points in the
world; that it stands 'salone, having no
rival and admitting no rival"
The group contains eight inhabited is
lands, and large number of small un-
inhabited ones, comprising 4,4S0,O0O
acres, or 1000 square miles, about the
same area as Massachusetts. On some
of the western islands there are Valua-
BILE guano and phosphate rock deposits.
Honolulu, with a population of 10000,
has the appliances and conVeniences of
an up-to-date city. The climate Is mild
and ever being on an average weekly

common acceptance, In consequence of
the delightful climate, Hawaii is known
as 'the paradise of the Pacific" The
principal products are sugar, rice, coffee,
bananas pineapples and other tropical
fruits. OF the area, $4,000 acres are
cultivated with sugar cane, and in 1895
the export was 221 900 tons. The school
privileges are good. All the Hawaiian
born population can read and wTte
English.
In 1896 the population was 10000, with
81, 900 native Hawaiians, "a. 400 Japanese,

and 1855 of other nationalities.
| In 1898 the monarchical government
was overthrown and provisional gov

THEY MUST HAVE MONEY.
Tech Athlstic Association Needs $500 to
Garry Tham THROUGH Season.

The directors of the Worcester Poly
technic Institute Athletic Association
is short of funds, which makes neces-
sary the issuing of a call again this year
for meeting, to be held in Boynton
hall, next Saturday noon.
At this meeting it win be decided
whether the athletic feature of the in
stitute life shall be maintained, or
whether every branch of sport shall be
allowed to die natural death for lack
of sufficient support. If the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute is represented on
the diamond and track this spring the
students will have to go down into their
pockets and subscribe the money that
will be needed to conduct the teams in
any kind of shape Unless the students
show this willingness Saturday noon,
and give evidence that the necessary
$500 is in sight, the directors will woe
that the school give up athletics.
It Is not at all surprising that Tech
athletics are in such a precarious posi-
ton. The boys there are so crowded
with studies that it requires every MIN
ute of their spare time to prepare their
lessons for the following day, without
deyoting an hour or so every afternoon,
after the close of recitations at 4.30
O'Clock, to the practice of any branch cf
athletics On that account Tech athletic
teams are never. very strong, and inter-
est among the students lags AS long
as the boys have to work as hard upon
their studies as at present, they cannot
expect to do much on the athletic heldS
