Friday and Saturday, bnt Mr..
Dabbs' customers and their friends
knew that veritable feast of
fashion had been prepared for
them by Mr.. Dabbs at Madden
Sykes & Co.'S. store and they were
unwilling to be kept away on
those two days by the rain aud
mud. Consequently his depart
ment was crowded throughout the
opening and the many purchases of
expensive headwear bear evidence
that not one was disappointed.
The front of the millinery depart
ment was series of lovely horse
shoe curves looped together by
flowers and foliage.
Extending clear around the
room was a series of decorations
made up of morning glories,
daisies, and American beauty roses
lnterspersed with rich foliage.
Every. decoration showed the
deft touch of the artist but none
other received such showers OF
admiration as did the lovely Easter
hats especially displayed for the
occasion.

Since the state department has not
taken this course, the foreign office
here has adopted a policy of mastery
inactivity and been prepared to &C
q~uiesce in any arrangements which
may be made by Russia and Germany.
Russia began by proposing a plan
which would enable the empress dow
ager and mandarins to return to Pc.
king and escape punishment. Ger
manv has not rejected this scheme
outright, but has reduced it to a meas
ure for partial withdrawal of the Eu-
ropean. Japanese and American forces,
so that Count Won Waldcrscc, when
he arrives, will have at least n small
international force to command and
something to do which will be digni-
fed and conspicuous. Other modif-
cations may be proposed by the Uni
ted States or by the other powers but
it may De safely assumed that the
British foreign office will assent TO
any policy which secures a genera
agreement of the powers and obviates
the necessity for a partition Of China
and acceptance of administrative re-
sponsibilities on a stupendous Scale or
asst hives of population. No English
journal says this at present. but a
compromise may be read between the
lines of every leading article. The
British foreign office has no alternative
policy and will be content to allow
Russia to score heavily. provided the

THOUGHTS AND APHORISMS.

l believe there are hearts that could
cut diamonds.
The extravaganza of the poor IS
sometimes more pitiable than poverty
itself.
Dust covers everything except wit
and feeling.
He who wishes to learn all his
faults must become poor.
No one holds the position which he
thinks he deserves.
The art Of society is assimilation.
In his will even the miser gives all
he can.
For the rich the poverty of others Is
a law of nature.
Love requitted is often nothing but
grateful vanity.
He who flatters begs.
Society Is like a masked ball where
nobody unmasks.
Our first schoolmaster is supersti-
ton.
Sociability is the pleasure OF get
ting rid of self.
There is but one love that lasts
unhappy love.
We humble ourselves before Others.

Smith Il An Ancient Mama.

Prof. Mahafy, in a letter to the
London Anthenaeum, points out that
among the yet unpublished curiosities
Of the Petrie papyri Is a list Of names
connected with the manufacture OF
beer. These names are oddly unlike
either Greek or Egyptian names, and
are suspected to be authorizations.
There is one." says Prof. Mahaffy,
which appears regularly in the same
form, and Of which we can give no
further explanation. 1t is the name
Smith Enthusiastically written. We
have never found anything like it be-

name that there was a man known as
