| evening says the Times-Democrat of New
| Orleans a couple entered and seated them
selves opposite Eve. 50 that she could not
| help hearing a part OF their Conversation.
| The woman was drawing on a new pair OF
No. gloves over a No hand, and the
| performance evidently irritated her lord
He glanced about the car at the other
women who were en- tenure and remarked
TO his wife, ''Why don't YOU finish dress
ing at home? ia as soon see woman
putting on her stockings In a street car as
her glovesn'
Most men would" the woman murtnuf-
ed demurely. And the abashed husband
said never a word more.
''Yon can never make me believe that
animals have not a large share Of intelli-

very lazy little fox terrier which / have

Ordinarily he does not care to come when
he is called, but let me cali him
from the top of the house and tell him
10 come and have his picture taken and
he bounds up she stairs as fast as his

There Is our horse, too He is a high
spirited animal, and we feel that IL is as
much as ones life is worth TO touch him
with the whip. lie Is a splendid horse
but he does not need the whip. and he
viii not have It. But the other day, when
he was standing at the door little Dick
got out and in some way climbed up into
the carriage and when we looked out he
was standing up with the whip in both
hands and laying Il over the horses back
Even little boy has a good deal OF
strength in his small hands, and every
blow OF the whip must have hurt, ebut
the horse did not move. IL he had Dick
would have been thrown out and killed.
Animals reason, and they have better
qualities as "a foundation for their reason-
ing than a good many human beings.
I have been asked, says a writer in the
Philadelphia Times, several questions In
relation to the celebration of a silver we'd
ding and am glad of the occasion to give
you he last hints in this matter. The most
general celebration IL an Afternoon recep-
ton, which may or may not be followed
by dinner party. Sometimes the celebra-
ton begins with a dinner party or eon-

is matter OF choice.
Invitations to any of these gatherings
ought 70 be issued three weeks ahead, on
cards printed in silver, In the name of hus-
band and wife. If for dinner the invita-
ton should say so, for a dance the hour
of the celebration should be stated, and
the word dancing" placed at the left
hand lower corner OF the card Every in
vited guest is expected to send gift suit
ed to the occasion, but not necessarily
costly, whether the invitation Is accepted
or not The gifts and cards of donors are
usually exhibited during the celebration
and Is the means oftentimes Of leading
one into extravaganza. We are such slaves
to appearances.
Husband and wife receive together at
both dance and invitation. When Ii isfpos-
sible to have the attendance of best man
and bridesmaids of the marriage cere-
mony there is added lustre given to the oc-
casion They assist in receiving. AT din
nor party on such an occasion the host
takes his wife into dinner and places her
al his right hand, as he did al the we'd
ding breakfast twenty-five years before.
They usually pfecede the guests. The tab e
decorations should be white and silver,
and when the hostess can afford It a white
and silver gown is pretty and appropriate
IL really COSTS no more 10 do these things
appropriately-good taste counts guile as
much as money.
