Two Card Parties

The card parties at winch Mrs. Solon liar old Jacobs entertained yesterday afternoon and evening were among the most beauti- ful and artistic events in many seasons. In the afternoon Mrs. Jacobs invited her mar ried friends to meet her guest, Miss Gwyn of New York, and In the evening the un- married set were entertained by MT. and Mrs Jacobs in honor of their lovely guest.
 The decorations were typical of the Thanksgiving season. Above the mantel in the hall were dozens of ears of corn in the rich colorings of the harvest season, while the dining-room beyond the mantel was decorated with pumpkins filled with fruits, above which were the ears of corn, the cream shucks. the strings of corn and pep per, and berries, carrying out perfectly the artistic details The lights burned under red shades, while above the cozy corners swung jeweled lamps. Tn one of the beau- tiful apartments, with its walls hung with rich papering. showing huge red roses, the lights glittered beneath yellow shades, and throughout each charming apartment the artistic taste of the lovely hostess was in evidence. The hall with Its rich Japanese furnishings was most attractive with the huge umbrella above the cozy corner, while above the entrance to the apartments be- yond was a decoration of great fans, show ing Japanese designs. Palms lent an added beauty to each apartment and every de- tail seemed to blend in completing the beautiful interior of Mrs. Jacobs artistic house. The score cards were hand painted and were suggestive of the season. The prizes were also suggestive of Thanksgiv- Ing, and the idea was carried out in the details of the elegant luncheons.
 In the afternoon the first prize, a cut glass bowl filled with fruits, was won by Mrs. George Redin of Louisville, on a cut with several of the guests. The second

A Summer Tragedy.

Already the tragedies of the summer
season have commenced.
Here's one that happened to a young
woman who recently spent few days
at the seashore and who wore, one
morning while she was there, n gown
that had in II an unlined yoke OF heavy
lace. OF course this was the morning
on which the young woman elected to
sit out oG the sands and reyel in the
warm sunshine, and she Staid there
until her head ached from the glare,
for 1t was really very warm day at
this southern summer resort, and the
sun had almost the power it has in
August.
Well, that evening when she went to
put on a delicate evening frock she
was startled by an exclamation from
her sister.
Dear me-" said that young woman
In Mortified accents. Dear ME, Louise,
what in the world is the matter with
your neck? You look"-going into
shrieks of laughter-"you look like
tattooed woman
But when Louise looked into the mir
ror she didn't seem to see anything
funny in the situation at all, for there
on her white skin Old Sol had printed
distinctly the pattern of her lace yoke.
and she did indeed look like a tattooed
woman.
She wore high necked dress that
evening and for many evenings after.
BY dint of many applications of cold
cream and such lotions the marks have
disappeared, but mademoiselle has put
lining in her yokes and trusts no
more to cobwebby materials for pro-
tection.-EXchaDge.

THE earnestness with which the
Times-Herald and other republican
papers are endeaYoring to reform the
gold democratic party is really am IS
ing. The devotion of these Mckinley
organs to the so-called gold democrats
at this particular time is only ex-
ceeded by their intense loyalty to
Mckinley, right or wrong. But they
will be obliged to look for other cats
paws this year. 1t is a broader ques-
tion than either gold or silver that is
before the people. Ii is the rePu bile
that is at STAKE, and that is something
more to live Tor in this country than
the kind of money we will have.

All of One Accord.

Chicago Chronicle.
If the democratic newspapers re-
| fleet the sentiments of the democratic
party-and it is safe to say that they
do-the democracy goes into the pres
idential campaign with its ranks
closed up, its dissensions healed and
its mem bers once more in harmony.
The democratic press is practically
unanimous in support of the Kansas
City nominees and the Kansas City
platform. There is hardly discord-
ant note. Past differences are for
gotten. The sentiment is all for
united, vigorous action against the
common enemy.
The attitude is in marked contrast
with that of four years ago, when a
majority of the leading democratic
newspapers were either passively dis
satisfied or openly opposed to the
party ticket and platform. The
change augurs well for democratic
success. 1t means that the democrats
who took issue with the party in 1896
are once more in line. Democracy is
united and means to claim its own
again.
The attitude of the democratic
newspapers is significant of the SEN
timents of the democratic voters.
The press is unanimous. So are the

The Head walters Tips.

One of the most expensive restau-
| rants in New York is conducted. SO far
| as its observing patrons can tell, on a
unique system of tips. The head wait
er of the room devoted to the use of
| the men guests makes it a point to be-
come acquainted with them, find out
their names and becomes genial in the
half respectful. half presuming way
that so frequently passes for good ma
ture among employees of the kind in
this country. Naturally he receives
liberal fees from his clientele, which is
made up of rich men able to pay high
prices for the extra service they re-
ceive.
When there is no financial response
Of this kind to the walters advances,
his cordiality diminishes. The walters
under him do, with unusual willing
ness, the head walters bidding. They
are evidently Indifferent as to their
own success in the matter of fees. It
Is only the good will OF the head waiter
that appears to be the goal of all their
efforts.
Such unselflshness astonishes regular
patrons OF the restaurant, and one in
particular undertook to discover the
reason OF this attitude of the walters
toward their chief. He learned after
awhile that the tips the head waiter
received were large enough to enable
him to give the walters part OF his
earnings for attending with particular
care TO his patrons. who, as a rule, con-
fine their contributions to the head
waiter. The guests who fail to take
advantage Of the head walters over
lures to friendliness are not likely to
fare we'll in that restaurant. where the
walters. certain of fee from the man
over them, are Indifferent to the guests

trons-New York Sun.

IN THE STORM.

Ny child. your hero may not be,
In truth, hero all the time;
Remember, il must chance that he
Shall still have rugged sleeps 70 climb
Don't place him on too high plane =
In fancy; then he viii not fall
In your esteem and may attain
To something noble after all.
Ny boy, don't think your sweetheart beam
A halo on her golden hair;
A crown of purity she wears,
And you must help to keep it there.
But she will have her trying moods
And be not always kind and sweet;
These are lfe's nerying interludes-
Sad pitfalls for unwary feet
You both are far from perfect yet,
And qusrrels will, UNHAPPY, come;
Both may be wrong; so don't forget,
In anger's blind delirium,
That sweet concessions each must make
And tender promises renew
Or else loving heart may break
And sorrow come to dwell with YOU
