A BRILLIANT DEBUT RECEPTION
 The first brilliant entertainment of the season occurred on Friday afternoon and evening when from until o'clock MT. and Mrs c. W. Craik entertained at a reception at which they presented to the social world their two charming young daughters, Misses Cecile and Jean Craik
 The entrance into society of these two prominent young women is an important event in the seasons history and we doubt will add brightness to the functions to come.
 The beautiful suburban home of MT. and Mrs. Craik is an ideal place for enter taining and on Friday the scene there was one of rare beauty.
 The veranda columns were entwined with garlands and lighted with Japanese lanterns. putted plants and other effec- tive furnishing rendered this part of the home perfect for such a function. The reception hall was beautified by the ar tistic placing of clusters of beautiful cut flowers and dainty greens.
 The reception room in which Mir and Mrs. Craik and Miss Juliette Craik re- ceived their guests and presented them to the fair dcbutants was adorned in pink roses and chrysanthemums. A floral bit which was an exquisite feature of this apartment was large bowl of va ried chrysanthemums which was placed in one corner.
 The two lovely debutantes were gowned eXquisitely in white organdie and serpen- tine applique lace. Miss Cecile Craik held an arm cluster of white carnations and Miss Jean one of pink carnations.

TO protect American LegatIon..

Washington, May 20. The instruc.
lions issued by General Chaffee under
direction of the war department in re-
gard to the protection Of the American
legation at Pekin after the departure Of
the United States troops from China have
been made public at the department They
designate Company B of the Ninth infan-
try as the legation guard and Major E.
+. Robertson Of that regiment is detailed
as commander.
Major Robertson's attention is especial
ly invited to the fact that the troops
under his command are stationed in a
foreign country with which the United
States is on terms of friendship. The
guard must, therefore, not be used ag-
gressively unless in defense of the Ameri-
can legation or persons and property Of
American citizens in its immediate vicin-
ity. The guard will repel attacks made
by Chinese on the American legation or
its own position, and, if necessary to do
50, may fire upon the assailants. 1t may
cooperate with other troops for the de-
Tense of the legation in the event Of at
tack being made on the same by any
Chinese forces.
