Judging from the dinners that are an
nounced for the coming week, society has
no intention of numbering fasting among
the seasons penances, and the splendid
dressing at all these affairs shows that
sack-cloth has surely gone out OF fash
ion. Perhaps the Lenten spirit and inten-
tons still linger, and If practice is weak.
one must remember that the claims of
the world are sometimes hard to disre-
gard. While really pious people are fast
ing and praying through forty days and
nights, those who conform 20 the peni-
tential law of the church simply because
it is sanctioned by Queen Fashion, win
proceed to enjoy themselves in quieter,
and less formal fashion, mainly with
the dinners, luncheons and teas above
mentioned, most of which have some
sort of fad attached-of charity, or Gull
ture-to add something of the SAVIOR of
sanctity. To such luke-warm followers
OF the church, Lent means merely
change in the social atmosphere, from
rose-color to amethyst-an aesthetic
contrast that appeals to matron and
maid, however worldly they may be. A
young woman of my acquaintance tells
a little story in this line at her own ex-
pense. She lives on one of the Hottest
pinnacles of the social world and last
year was enjoying herself immensely at
an informal" the night before Holy
Week. Another guest was the Chinese
Minister, that wise and willy follower of
Confucius, Minister WI. Putting on all
the manner of heather seeking for
light, he asked the young lady to tell
him about Lent, and what it signified
drawing her out by judicious questions
until she flattered herself that she had
accomplished quite a missionary work.
When she had finished a touching and
eloquent peroration about the fasts and
self-sacrifices and prayer and retirement
from the worlds pleasures for the souls
betterment, Mr.. WI just looked around
upon the two or three hundred laughing
and finely-dressed men and women,
smiled with his beady little eyes. spread
his two fat little hands with the big
diamond on one of them, shrug
ged his silken-clad shoulders and said
not a word Later in the evening, when
the fashionable mob were devouring their
salads and ices, she caught the minister
looking at her with the same smile and
gesture. 81 don't know what he meant
by it." she said, in telling me the story.
but 1 am afraid he is as much stuck
on his old Confucius as ever" And am
inclined 20 agree with her.

A remarkable thing has happened
though at the time there were few OBJ
servers to remark 1t, and both the ladies
were so closely yelled and enveloped In
heavy wrappings that nobody would have
mstrusted their identity anyhow. Mad
anne Ferrough, wife of the Turkish Min
lister, and her sister-in-law, Miss Ferrough,
have been permitted for once outside their
prison walls and have actually been en-
tertained, much like other young ladies',

day luncheon, in the Russian Embassy!

OF it. who consented that the ladies should
come only on condition that they pre-

But then, there was not a man about
the premises, as had been carefully ar
ranged beforehand-even female servants
and walters being provided for the occa-
sion. When the heavy veilings and bag
like wraps were all removed, Mrs. Fer
rough and her sister stood confessed as
young and pretty women, gowned in styl-
ish Partisan costumes. The conversation
WAS carried on in French-the Countess
Cassini, though accomplished In several
languages, not being quite up to Turk
ish. Let us hope that the three girls
had a good time together. Though the

Selma, Ala, July 22.-(Special)-Sefm won this afternoon by generally outplay- ing the boilermakers. Umpire Cline was off in the first part of the game and gave Birmingham the rough edge which seem- ed to take the starch out of the visitors and made them easy marks thereafter.
 The visitors were attired in a lot of misft uniforms borrowed from Selma and they retarded in a measure the quickness of the players.

He went to second on Martins sacrifice and scored on Veitch's hit. The side was then retired on a pretty double play made on LaRocque's bunt fly to Bailey to Harlow. In the third Keefe hit safe and went to second on Moss sacrifice. Mar tin flew out and Keefe was called out at third though it was the opinion of grand stand that Busch missed him a foot. It was also in this inning that dis pute arose whether Clifford left second before fly of Stouch had been caught and Moss threw the ball down in disgust,

EVANS DENIES REPORT.
Will Not Be Governor of Porto Rico,
 as Rumored.

Nashville, Tenn, July 22.-In con- nection with the story from Washing ton that Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans was to become Governor of Porto Rico upon the resignation of Gov ernor Allen, Maj. A. W. Wills, postmas- ter at Nashville, today received let ter from MT. Evans. The letter Is in reply to one of inquiry, and states em- phatically that the story is without foundation. Speaking of the matter this afternoon close personal friend of Commissioner Evans said:
 There is not a bit of doubt in my mind that he would be glad to get out of the pension olice-yes. quit Wash ington politics and return to his home in Chattanooga. But in the face of the fight waged by certain people, what can he do? MT. Evans is not a man who is going to give up in fight of this character. His friends would not allow him to do so either. if they could prevent it."
