JUST HER LITTLE PARLOR TRICK
What Happened When One Woman Went
to Call on Another the Other Day.

What Happened When One Woman Went
to Call on Another the Other Day.
New York Evening Sun: A woman the
other day went to call upon another wo-
man who may be always relied upon to
act up to certain well-recogniZed idiosyn-
crases. With great ceremony the caller
was ushered into the drawing room.
with its dim lights, it's rant fragrance of
incense, it's blazing fire upon the hearth.
Hardly had the butler announced her
name when the hostess rushed forward
and grasped the visitor with both hands.
My dear, I'm delighted to see you,'
cried the hostess; then, dropping the
hands and turning to the wood box by
the hearth, she drew forth fat black
book. Opening it till it's back cracked,
the hostess thrust the book under the
blazing log with melodramatic gesture:
That's how treat the Social Register!'
she cried. Dear me!' observed the Wis
itor, letting out the first thing that en-
tered her astonished head: do you do
that to every caller?' The hostess didn't
answer. AS the call progressed the visitor
fell to wondering whether 1t wasn't just
a gas log and whether the whole thing
wasn't just a neat little parlor trick per-
formed for the benefit of each caller, the
book pulled carefully out from the log
and the ashes blown from it at the end of
one visit that it might serve again at the
next. But no, the log was the real thing,
as turn of the head proved, for there
lay the book blazing away merrily be-
meath. By the time the woman rose to go
the book was in ashes. In the open air,
free from the spell of the dim lights and
the faint fragrance Of incense, the woman
got to thinking. Il don't believe it was
the Social Register at ALL" said the wo-
man to herself: ut was some old patent
office report that looked like 1t and that
she probably has stacks of and Is taking
this characteristic way to get rid Of l

1t worth while to impress me, but 1 re-

AT "HlNKEY DiNK's" BALL.
soclologist Riis Attends and Philosphlzes
on Function.


New York World: Chicago, Ill.,
Jacob Riis, the authority on sociology
of the slums, attended the ball given
last Thursday night by "Bathouse
John" and his co-alderman, Michael ],
Kenna, otherwise known as "Hinky
Dink.' 1t was a peculiarly First ward
affair, at which Mr.. Dink." who seeks
denomination, desired to meet his con-
stituents.
This is what Mr.. Riis writes: There
has not been and probably could not be
anything like 1t in the east, certainly
not in New York. 1t was so surprising
ly frank. When they give a French
ball in New York, which may be consid-
cred it's eastern counterpart, there is
veneering over it, This one was natural
and frank.
There was human nature and good
fellowship in it. The Bathhouse' sat
me down at table with some women
who were as pleasant as women could
be. A little incident showed this quail
ty. AS arose l overturned glass Of
champagne. Unfortunately the con-
tents spilled on the gown of one of the
women. made every apology, but she
passed it over with q frank candor
and natural grace.
These people are real mixers. This
ward, l am told, is the richest in the
west. These are the people who work
at politics. They are the people who
take active enough interest in the city
to connect themselves with it's ma
chinery. They should control.
The other class will not come out.
They will not mix They are afraid Of
rubbing elbows with the gang To the
men who work belongs the power"

one eager face to another OF tbs wom-
en- who passed about him. When the
last button was secured he bowed and
pushed his way through the throng.
He was apparently blind and deaf
but, oh, how childlike was his smile!
1t was impossible for the women to be-
lieve that he wouldn't invite them to
supper If only they could make him see
and hear.
Young Schwab evidently played as
Lord Chesterfield advises young men
to play-for amusement 1t was per-
fectly apparent that he had no passion
for gambling. But it was also clear
that he knew how to win, how to fol-
low up his luck" and-when to stop.
They say that he came out a good
many thousands ahead on his two days
play-or was it three? They say that
he accepted an invitation to that Sc
cluded "inside ROOM where the play is
much higher than In the main room.
They say that he had no reason to re-
gret going. But this may or may not
be true. Certain it is that after that
first evening the mothers" and
daughters looked longingly and ad-
miringly at him, but kept at a dis
tance.
Mr.. Schwab's smile is thing of
beauty. He brought it with him from
the cradle. 1t is valuable asset.

WHY The MAN CHOKED.
The Western Wolnan's "Come Back" a,
the Eastern Woman.


Washington Post: We used to saw a
great many things about the occasional
Englishman who came over to the
states, and, without the slightest re-
gard for our collective and individual
feelings, made unpleasant observations
concerning our country and our Gus
TOMS I've heard the Englishman in
his most aggravated form, but even
then he doesn't begin to hold a candle
to the occasional easterner who talks
about the west. Wherefore was nv
spirit exceeding glad within me when
went out to dine the other night and
sat at a table with seven persons who
have never crossed the Mississippi and
with one woman who was born and
reared in Minneapolis. The woman op-
posite was a cat in her previous in
carnation, and not thoroughbred cat
at that. She is a snob in this incarna-
ton. and not clever snpb at that
During most of the dinner she ad-
dressed herself to the Minneapolis
woman.
IT must be no end strange to be in
a city after living in Minneapolis" she
said. Life out there l am told. is
rough. Everybody has toothpicks on
the dinner table, and all that sort OF
thing"
The Minneapolis woman merely
smiled.
My brother lived out there two
years." went on the woman, who used
to be a cat. 'He wrote home such
funny letters about the strange native
customs. He said the cult Of the daily
tub was thing undreamed of, and
that all the women wore diamonds to
breakfast"
The Minneapolis woman is hu-
man.
What is your brothers name?" she
asked.
Reginald smith-Brown," was the
answer.
The Minneapolis womans voice was
as ingenious as the eyes of an infant
in arms.
II think I remember the name" she
said. He was sblackballed at the Nushka
club, wasn't he, because he had never
belonged to any club here or in New
York? l daresay he did find strange
ways among the people he was able
to meet"
And the man next choked on a per-
fectly harmless bit Of cheese.
