most admirable thrust at Henry James.

ries of life, and will dispense with it's
necessities" Tom Appleton made an
other, Good Americans. when they

the third. 1.-THE consciousness Of being
perfectly well dressed gives a feeling
of inward tranquility which religion is
powerless to bestow." These three
have long been famous. but Higginson
matched the best OF them when he re-
marked, "Henry James has been called
a cosmopolitan. but he isn't. since a
cosmopolitan is a man who is at home,

Assemblage and Decorations Among the
Finest Ever Seen.
Brilliance and beauty greeted Ad-
miral Dewey as he and his wife en-
tered the ballroom floor at the Audi
forum Monday night, escorted by
Lieutenants Caldwell and Crawford of
the United States navy. No sooner
had the brOnzed naval hero put in an
appearance, than the First Regiment
band struck up Hail to the Chief"
Instantly the large assemblage rose
to it's feet and hearty greeting was
given to the sturdy victor of Manila
bay.
Never before has more magnificent
social spectacle been presented in the
Windy City. Perfectly appointed and
most appropriate decorations were
further heightened by a stunning as
sortment of women's costumes, of mil
itary and naval uniforms. and a unique
array of multi-colored lights. After
being formally presented to the re-
ceiving party, the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey in turn became a part of It,
and directly the spectators trooped to
the little group and for three-quarters
of an hour the admiraps right hand
and arm were in constant employment.
Even after taking up his position in
his stand at the left Of the house,
Dewey was compelled to continue his
Misunderstanding and greetings. Box &C.
cupants who had not reached him on
the dance floor, made their way to the
big stand surrounded by white gal
leon 'beaks and the ever smiling salt
bowed, made kindly remarks, and APP
peared to be enjoying himself to the
fullest extent.
AT 11:30 o'clock the admiral's party
withdrew from the festivities and pro-
ceeded to the Auditorium Annex,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Cation en-
tertained at a supper given in Dewey's
honor.

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that be intends TO
