Bachelors and Spinsters.

A unique and original mode of enter
tainment was that adopted by Mrs. Fin
lay Ross at a party given to the bach
elors and spinsters of the city at her
pleasant home last Friday evening.
Each guest was requested to bring the
cherished picture and tell the story Of
their hearts sore disappointment and
explain in the story ''how it is" but
hadn't oughter ave been" As the
recital progressed the party proved those
present q heartless lot. Heart-rending
tales OF disappointed love, tickle women
and soulless men created not sympathy
but mirIh among them. Tales that
should have brought tears from the
eyes Of al Egyptian mummy ELECTED
naught but laughter. Each one gloated
over the misfortunes OF the others pres
ent. However, the experiences related
verified the old saw, "'Twere better to
have loved and lost, than never to have
loved at ALL"
After the tales of love were told, the
guests were arranged in groups around
small tables; the bachelors were pre-
sented with a neat card handsomely
decorated with bachelor brttons''--the
flowers, not shingle nails-while the
cards of the spinsters were decorated
with bleeding hearts"-also flowers,
the hearts of the recipients, Judging by
their stories told, We're calloused and
long since past bleeding. The cards
were inscribed as follows:
Menu:
Always in Pairs. A Lover.
A Solace.
Cause of Woe. Back Numbers.
Sure TO Pop. Sadly Missed.
Dessert:
Food for Worst Fear. Cold Cheer.
Before the guests were served they
had to interpret the menu and give the
correct name of the dishes. This diver.
sion created no end of amusement. The
refreshments were elegant. The cards
were retained by the guests as souven-
irs of the very pleasant evening. Adding
to the pleasure of the evening were
piano selections by Miss Maggie Cowan,
a song by Mrs. Frank Anderson and a
number of r~ecitals by Miss Sevisind.
The entire program was appropriate to
the occasion.
Miss Byrne was the prize-winning-
old-maid- of the-evening drawinga beau
tiful bouquet of American beauties as a
solace for unrequited love and a broken
heart. The guests dispersed at a late
hour expressing approval of the even
ing's festivities, and thanking their
hostess for the novel, original and enjoy
able entertainment. Her efforts were
certainly prominently successful.

Compete With Our Heiresses.

Nsws comes from Honolulu that
the transport Thomas, which reach
ed there on August lat, having on
board tn ZEE hundred male and one
hundred female teachers, en- route
for the Philippines to engage in
educational service under the Taft
Commission, developed a veritable
matrimonial epidemic The young
men and women on board represent
ed almost every State o. the Union.
After the transport left San Fran
cisco friendships were formed which
soon ripened into love, and the
day prior to the arrival at HOMO.
lulu Captain Buford found that
thirty couples desired the nuptial
knot tied. He refused to permit the
ceremony on board the vessel, and
the next day clergyman at Homo.
lulu made the thirty pair happy by
uniting them in matrimony. Prior
to the sailing of the transport from
Honolulu several other cases were
reported. The departure from New
York last week of the fifty.four
Cuban girls and twenty-four men,
who have been students at the sum-
mer school of Harvard University,
developed the fac THAT they, too, had
been victims of Cupid's darts, al
though their courtships have only
reached the engagement stage. Most
of the Cuban men are returning

The Trailing Skirts.

DR.. Cassgrandi, in reading apaper
bsfore medical association in
Rome, stated that he had employed
number of women wearing long
skirts to walk for one hour through
the streets OF the city, aud, after the
promenade was over, be has taken
these skirts and hal them submitted
to a very careful bacteriologic ex-
animation. There were found on
every skirt large colonies # noxious
germs, including those of typhoid
fever, consumption, Influenza, and
tetanus (or lock j,S). Numerous
other bacilli wers l,kawis. we'll re-
presented on each skirt. DR.. Casa
grandi maintained that, in view Of
these facts, women, and especially
mothers, should at once discontinue
wearing trailing skirts, and other
members Of the Medical Congress
unhesitatingly expressed the same
opinion, and passed resolutions to
that effect. That women should
subject themselves TO the filth, TO
say nothing of the possible dangers
of trailing gowns. has long been a
wonder to those acquainted with
bacteriology. Nevertheless, so long
as fashion calls for long skirts, no
reform can be expected, for the
great ms ority of women are bound
to be in the fashion regardless of
any ordinary considerations. There
is some encourage ment, however, in
the fact that many OF the younger
women OF the present. wear their
golf aud bicycle skirt, throughout
the day, aud merely dress for dinner
and the evening.

An Embarrassing Moment.

+ The story is told Of three Protest.
can't ladies who walked into Catho
lie church in Ireland during high
mass. 1t was raining, and they had
gone in for shelter. The priest, one
of natures gentlemen, recognized
the ladies, and, STOPPING down, said
to an attendant: "Three chairs for
the Protestant ladies'" 1t was a
kindly thought, but the priest must
have wished he had never thought
it when the man stood up in the
church and shouted: "Three cheers
for the Protestant ladiesl" 1t was
over 10 o minute--.he cheers we're
cheered and could not be called
back; but it was one otthe mnst un-
comfortable moments in the good
priests life.

Football.

The practice football game be-
tween the Hackfeld team and
Male Ilimas, at the Punahou col
lege campus was witnessed by a
big audience. The Male llimas
had an easy victory, but it should
be remembered that only lew
members OF the Hackfeld team have
ever played football. With a little
more practice We feel sure that the
German team will make a very
creditahle showing. They have got
the grit and a lot of muscle and
perseverance,. They were not bill
discouraged by the defeat on Satur'
day and the Male lima boys DOM

Superstition in Turkey.

Hanan, village on the borders of
Anatolia, was the scene If borri-
BILE tragedy afew dsys ogo. There
had been an epidemic in the dist riot
for some weeks, aud, as it's ravages
ever becs me greater, The villages
finally felt Satisfied that it WAS the
work OF sorcerers, and, after a thor"
ough Investigation, they arrested a
man named Asian and his sister, and
openly charged them with being the
direct cause of the disease. The
two prisoners avowed their inno-
ceuce, but the mob insisted that
they had been heard using incanta-
tions and other evil spells, and that
their sole object in doing so was to
invoke an epidemic.
Without delay sentence was pro-
nounced. Asian was burned alive
on an improvised scaffold and his
sister was mercilessly tortured with
red hot irons.
News of the shocking crime was
at once taken to The local authori'
ties and in few hours the principal
instigators were arrested. 1t is not
believed, however, that this step will
aid much toward the extirpation o.
supsrstitious ideas in Hapau.
